A doctor who travels through two eras

To be honest, as a newly graduated medical student in China, Lin Sanqi has a mindless worship for Union Hospital.

In 2023, as the No. 1 hospital in China, Peking Union Medical College is absolutely the idol that all medical students in the country look up to, without a doubt.

For medical students like Lin Sanqi, let alone having the opportunity to work at Union Hospital, even being able to study there is a great honor and qualification.

Doctors from Peking Union Medical College Hospital are treated like VIPs when they go to major local universities or hospitals.

If a patient wants to go to Peking Union Medical College Hospital for treatment, the registration fee for a scalper with a good doctor starts at five thousand yuan.

Such an awesome hospital, but now when Lin Sanqi comes to see a doctor, the registration fee is only 1 cents...

The doctor from Peking Union Medical College who treated Lin Sanqi was in his 30s. He wore a white coat and a white work hat. His eyes were full of fatigue and indifference under a cloth mask.

Doctor Guo Jianqiao didn't even look at the patient. When he saw someone coming in, he asked directly, "What's wrong?"

Lin Sanqi replied in a humming voice: "Doctor, I have a fever, and it won't go away. I still have pain all over my body, and I'm coughing, and my nose is running, and I..."

Doctor Guo interrupted impatiently:

"Alright, alright, I already know your condition. You have a cold. Here, go get some medicine."

At this time, Doctor Guo had already written the name of the medicine on the prescription paper, tore it off and threw it in front of Lin Sanqi.

Lin Sanqi's mind was full of questions. He thought, "I just sat down, my butt hasn't even warmed up yet, and I haven't finished explaining my condition yet, and you're done already? Isn't this 1 cent registration fee too easy to earn?"

"Doctor, no, I still have chest pain..."

Lin Sanqi thought, there are many reasons for chest pain. If it is serious, it means there is something wrong with the heart, such as myocarditis, which can also cause fever and chest pain. If it is milder, you have to suspect pneumonia, right? Or stomach problems are also possible.

It depends on how you check it. Anyway, you should take it more seriously now, right?
Lin Sanqi also wanted to test the level of the doctors at Union Medical College in this era, and had the mentality of a little examiner.

After hearing Lin Sanqi's words, Dr. Guo continued without raising his head and said coldly:

"It's okay. It's normal to have a fever, cough, and a little chest pain. Just take some medicine."

Lin Sanqi was dissatisfied, thinking, "You are too much of a bluff, aren't you? At least listen to the heart and lung sounds, how irresponsible!"

"Doctor, I still have a stomachache. Sometimes it hurts in the middle, and sometimes it hurts on the right side. You have to help me take a closer look."

Dr. Guo took a deep breath and said impatiently:

"Stomach pain could be caused by enteritis, intestinal colic, appendicitis, colitis, etc. This is not something we can treat in the internal medicine department. You need to see the surgery department. Take the prescription and leave quickly. Next one."

"No, doctor, is there anyone who serves the people like you? You don't even do a basic physical examination. What if my condition is serious?"

Doctor Guo got angry and slammed the table:
"Are you a doctor or am I a doctor? Do you understand or do I understand? Are you looking for trouble? Security guard~~~"

Lin Sanqi was convinced. Regardless of his medical skills, he dared to slam the table and yell at the patient. If this was filmed in 2023, he would definitely be cyber-bullied.

At the same time, the filter he had for Concorde was shattered.

It turns out that Union Hospital was not a god. At least in 1960, it was no different from a small county hospital, lacking professionalism and compassion for patients.

Maybe those who were highly educated in 49 all went to the reactionary side...

Lin Sanqi walked out of the clinic, calmed himself down, and took out the prescription. No matter what, the purpose of the secret visit was achieved, although he was very angry.

Then I saw the tadpole characters above and my head was overwhelmed.

If Lin Sanqi wasn't a medical major, he would have thought that the above was a mystery.

These words are no different from paintings, a long string of words written in one stroke. Except for people in the industry, outsiders will definitely not be able to understand them because these words are not Chinese at all, but Latin.

The first medicine: metamizole sodium tablets. Note that the handwriting is very sloppy.

Lin Sanqi tried to identify it for a long time and finally confirmed that it was antipyrine methylamine methane. He thought that this was chlorpyrifos, also known as analgin.

Speaking of Analgin, it is really a star drug that is well-known. It is a fever-reducing tablet that almost everyone older has taken, but it was later banned in clinical use.

However, due to its proven efficacy, many ordinary people still take it as a miracle drug for reducing fever and relieving pain. Most importantly, it is cheap, with only a few cents for one pill.

However, Analgin can cause gastrointestinal bleeding, allergic reactions, renal damage, blood system toxicity, liver damage, and is even addictive, so it is quite harmful.

Lin Sanqi thought, no wonder the antipyretic effect of Union Hospital's medicine is better than that of the Chinese medicine from the Chinese Hospital, it turns out that it is this non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that can quickly reduce fever.

The second pill says amantadine aminum.
This drug is relatively unpopular. Lin Sanqi spelled out the letters one by one and after a long time translated it very uncertainly: Amantadine?

The main function of the drug amantadine is antiviral, and it can also be used for Parkinson's disease, but it is rarely used in clinical practice in 2023.

The reason for using it less is that the side effects are quite obvious, and it is easy to cause hallucinations or mental confusion, urination difficulties, etc. The second reason is that the efficacy is really not very good, especially in terms of anti-drug diseases.

The premise of this poor efficacy is that it is selective and adamantane is not used very often.

But in 1960, adamantane became a miracle new antiviral drug. At least the combination of adamantane and analgin was indeed superior to traditional Chinese medicines for clearing heat and detoxifying.

Therefore, it was not unfair for the Chinese medicine hospital to lose the first round.

Chinese Medicine Hospital Bungalow Dormitory:
Dean Shen looked at the two kinds of pills on the table, his mouth twisted with dissatisfaction.

"Is this the secret weapon of Union Hospital?"

Lin Sanqi nodded: "Yes, they also gave me three days' supply of these two medicines, which cost me 3 yuan."

"Oh, 3 yuan, that's not a low fee. Xiao Qi, you know a lot about Western medicine, so what do you think of the effects of these two medicines?"

Facing Dean Shen's question, Lin Sanqi decided to tell the truth:

"The efficacy of adamantane + analgin is definitely better than our Baihu Decoction, Xiaoqinglong Decoction, Chaige Jieji Decoction, etc. This cannot be denied. Our traditional Chinese medicine takes too long to take effect.

However, the side effects of these two Western medicines, adamantane and analgin, are relatively large. The problem is that now is the time to treat illnesses and save lives, so these side effects can actually be ignored. We cannot interfere with how Union Hospital uses drugs, right? "

Dean Shen frowned even more tightly after hearing this:

"Then do we have any targeted Chinese medicine that is more effective than this An Jingang stuff?"

Lin Sanqi blurted out without thinking:

"Yes, the secret recipe that old man Xiao Longyou contributed is Qingxin Zhengfeng Pills, which is the sister medicine of Angong Niuhuang Pills. It has a great effect in reducing fever. I think one pill can solve the problem.

There is also the secret recipe Babao Pills contributed by Mr. Ding Zhongying, which is the same origin of Pian Zai Huang and is also said to have good anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

If these two medicines were used, their efficacy would definitely be better than the two Western medicines from Union Hospital, but there is a huge problem here, that is, the raw materials of these two medicines are too precious, and the retail price starts at 2 to 30 yuan, which ordinary people cannot afford. "

Samples of Qingxin Zhengfeng Pills, Babao Pills, Duanxueliu Pills and Aoaojiao Pills have already been produced, but as the raw materials are relatively precious, the Changping branch has not yet started large-scale production.

After all, it is spring plowing season and the plague has hit, so research and development work has come to a halt.

Dean Shen was shocked when he heard this.
"Oh, it's so expensive. The patient can't afford it, and we can't provide it for free. Apart from these few medicines, is there any other way? Are you still hiding something from me? Where are your ibuprofen and amoxicillin prescriptions?

Today, I know that you have been secretly supplying drugs. Wang Lingshu from the billing department told me that it is unreasonable to let you pay for the drugs alone, and accused our public institution of taking advantage of you."

Lin Sanqi chuckled:
"I just want to try it out today, and then wait for the results of the discussion with your hospital."

Exchanging medicine for medicine, this was what Lin Sanqi and Dean Shen had agreed on before. Now there is no official attitude, so the two of them dare not make a deal.

Everyone in the Chinese medicine hospital knows about the close relationship between Director Shen and Lin Sanqi. Now that the godfather is exchanging public medicinal materials for Lin Sanqi privately, doesn't it give people the feeling that there is something fishy going on? That's like mud falling out of a pants crotch, it's shit at least.

There isn't much else in the hospital, but there are a lot of smiling tigers who will report you anonymously at any time.

Dean Shen sighed. This matter was quite controversial within the hospital.

One of the key controversies is that many people believe that if Lin Sanqi has a secret recipe, he should donate it and make it state property.

Then, based on this secret recipe, we will develop drugs and put them into clinical practice. This is in line with organizational procedures, the nature of socialism, and everything will be owned by the public.

If the Chinese medicine hospital gave the medicinal materials to Lin Sanqi, and then Lin Sanqi gave the finished medicine to the Chinese medicine hospital, who knows how much medicinal materials Lin Sanqi embezzled?
Moreover, this is a capitalist type of processing with imported materials, which is exploitation and the loss is national assets.

Although some leaders of the Chinese Medicine Hospital were defeated by Lin Sanqi's sugar-coated bullets, they dared not easily nod their heads when it came to these principled issues and behaviors that might violate the red line of political governance. These people could only fight with the wind.

When Lin Sanqi heard the hospital's concerns, he shrugged on the surface to show that it didn't matter, but he was still very anxious in his heart.

He has 1200 million flu medicines, how can it be just a little bit of money? He also wants to use these 1200 million Western medicines to exchange for 12 billion Chinese herbal medicines.

The key point is that influenza is seasonal and usually lasts no more than two months. Once the influenza subsides, who will we sell so many Lin Panax notoginseng medicinal materials to?

Thinking of this, both Lin Sanqi and Dean Shen felt a little depressed. (End of this chapter)
