Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 353 Denial
"Comrade Li Yancheng was seconded from the First Hospital of Chengdong District to a clinic as a doctor in July of the previous year. At that time, none of us present knew that he had mastered such an amazing skill.

So how did we solve the case before he was transferred here and revealed this skill?
Comrades, what I want to say is that we cannot pin all our hopes on one person, and we cannot let the vast number of comrades fighting on the front line develop a lazy mentality.

I have no intention of criticizing the attitude of the Third Department in investigating this leak, but I just feel that this shouldn't be the attitude we adopt when facing every case.

This time we approved the large-scale use of special interrogation. Well, the case was solved quickly, but what about next time? The next time we are facing a unit with hundreds or thousands of cadres and employees, what should we do?
Do we need to use special interrogation methods on all these thousands of people?"

Having said that, Deputy Director Guan threw the pen in his hand onto the table, leaned back on his chair, turned around and looked at everyone present.

"If that's the case, then I think we should just disband the Social Affairs Bureau and leave Comrade Li Yancheng alone. At most, we can assign him a few assistants and a few guards to protect his safety.

Because no matter what case happened and where it happened, he could always find the criminal by interrogating everyone one by one. It saved a lot of trouble.

It can also be extended to the criminal investigation department of the public security system. I think there is no need for this department to exist.

Oh, the supervisory departments should also be included. There is no point in keeping them. The staff of these departments who are laid off can be put to work in other fields that require a large number of people.

Ladies and Gentlemen, do you think this is okay? When did our organization fall to the point where it needed a certain comrade to take the lead?
I'm going to say something that I shouldn't say. What if this comrade gets into trouble and is no longer around? Will he just stop working?
This has gone a bit off topic, so let's get back to the topic of today's discussion. Regarding the three applications for Comrade Li Yancheng to assist in continuing the interrogation, I personally oppose it. We must resolutely not foster a lazy mentality among front-line investigators. An attitude of waiting, relying on and asking for things is not desirable.

Of course, there is absolutely no problem in asking for support when the case reaches a critical moment, or when there are no clues at all. I fully support letting Comrade Li Yancheng come forward to open a breakthrough as soon as possible in some serious cases.

We still need to protect Comrade Li Yancheng more. We cannot use a strategic weapon as a conventional weapon."

Deputy Director Guan made his attitude clear, and his remarks caused everyone present to ponder.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. We must not allow front-line investigators to develop a serious dependence on Li Yancheng. This will not be a good thing for work or talent training.

It also makes it easier for people to think that it doesn't matter whether they do it or not, and they lose their enthusiasm for work, which will lead to failure in the long run.

……

While the bureau leaders were holding a meeting to discuss the issue, Li Yancheng was treating three cancer patients sent by Director Liu from the military general hospital at the Public Security Hospital.

Director Liu is also a decisive person. Since he decided to send the patient here to see the treatment effect, he took action immediately.

For cancer patients these days, contracting this disease basically means there is no hope of recovery and life enters the countdown stage.

Death is not scary. What is scary is the time spent waiting for death and suffering from illness.

As mentioned before, due to the imperfect detection methods, no matter what type of cancer it is, under the current level of medical technology, when it can be detected, it is almost always in the middle or late stages, or even cannot be detected at all.

For these patients, since no matter who treats them, the disease cannot be cured, it doesn't matter if they change doctors, even though this doctor looks so young.

The first wave of three patients came here yesterday, January 16th.

Today is the second day of treatment. One of the patients, an elderly male who is almost 70 years old, has decided that no matter how long he can live, he will receive treatment from this young man in the future.

why?

pain!
After receiving the first treatment here yesterday, he didn’t feel any pain at night even without taking painkillers. After two months, he finally had a good night’s sleep.

The onset of pain is often a sign that the disease has entered the middle or late stages, but it is not a necessary condition.

At the beginning, it is mostly dull pain or dull pain, which is more obvious at night. This is because when it is quiet at night, there is nothing else to attract attention, which will invisibly amplify the feeling of pain.

The pain will gradually increase as the disease progresses, becoming unbearable and continuing day and night. In the later stages, general painkillers will be completely ineffective.

This pain is usually caused by cancer cells invading the nerves. Many patients with advanced cancer experience severe pain that is unbearable, and even the strongest painkillers are ineffective.

Especially patients with advanced malignant tumors often have to endure despairing pain.

This pain is not only physical, but also psychological. In addition to the physical damage caused by cancer itself, these patients mainly have to endure the fear of the disease.

Cancer, from the moment the term appeared, has become a topic that people are afraid to talk about.

Later research institutions stated that among patients who died after suffering from cancer, one third were frightened to death, one third were killed by treatment, and one third were killed by pain.

This number is certainly not accurate, but it is enough to illustrate the prominence of cancer pain and the psychological burden on patients after learning what disease they have.

This is also the reason why after doctors find out that a person has cancer, they often choose not to tell the patient the specific condition, but keep it secret and only tell the patient's family.

The first batch of three patients sent by Director Liu were one man and two women. They all knew what disease they had and knew that the disease was incurable.

The oldest male patient was 69 years old, a retired employee who suffered from gastric cancer.

It has been just over a month since the diagnosis and I have been receiving conservative treatment at the general hospital.

The elderly patient said that he was very open-minded. In his own words, he had lived enough. He was very content to be able to see the establishment of New China from the turbulent and precarious old society.

He doesn't care whether the disease can be cured or not. His only request now is to be pain-free in the last stage of his life, to eat well and sleep well, and to leave this world comfortably.

But the progression of advanced cancer is actually very fast. In just over a month, the cancer cells had metastasized to other organs in the body. Even the most powerful painkillers he was given began to have little effect, and he could not eat.

The pain made it difficult for him to rest and he couldn't eat. Since the diagnosis of his illness, this old patient's weight has dropped from over 130 kilograms to barely 100 kilograms in just over a month, and he is now just skin and bones.

Director Liu contacted him through the Department of Internal Medicine of the main hospital and told him that he wanted to change his treatment method. It was not known whether it would be effective or not, but the main purpose was to conduct research on the disease.

Despite the children's objections, the old patient agreed without even thinking about it. He also wanted to use the last stage of his life to do something meaningful.

What surprised him was that even though he had just received his first treatment yesterday, with only a few acupuncture needles inserted into his body, the whole process was over in less than an hour and looked like nothing more than play.

But last night not only did he drink a bowl of porridge for dinner without vomiting, he even slept until dawn.

Just this one time, he became more confident in letting Li Yancheng treat him.

The other two female patients were both in their fifties, one had breast cancer and the other also had stomach cancer.

The three people were diagnosed with the disease at about the same time, early December.

Unlike the male patient, the two female patients may have a stronger tolerance, or the pain is really not that severe, and they can withstand the pain by taking painkillers.

The same thing is that after yesterday's treatment, they slept peacefully at night without taking any painkillers.

This effect was achieved after only the first treatment, even if it was only temporary. The patient's response gave Director Liu great confidence.

Director Liu didn't dare to think about completely curing cancer. As a doctor, he knew very well that this was almost impossible.

But as long as the disease can be controlled and does not continue to develop in a bad direction, the patient's survival time can be extended and the patient's quality of life can be improved, this will be a remarkable achievement.

"Today is the 17th. The next treatment will be in a week, before the end of the month. When you go back, eat and sleep as you should. Don't think too much.

If you feel any discomfort in the next two days, or the pain starts to come again, you can come to me at any time.

I may not be here, when you come here, go to the small second floor building on the left after entering the gate and tell the sentry on duty there, and they will contact me. "

After removing the needles from the three people, Li Yancheng disinfected the needles with alcohol cotton wool while giving instructions.

"Thank you, Doctor Li (Section Chief Li)." The three patients thanked him at the same time.

"Chief Li, don't we need to take medicine?" the male patient asked again.

"You don't need to take medicine yet. We want to see how effective acupuncture is. If the effect is significant and acupuncture can control the progression of the disease, we will prescribe some medicine to regulate your body later."

It was Director Liu who gave the explanation. The main purpose of calling these three patients over was to conduct an experiment, to see to what extent cancer could be controlled through Li Yancheng's acupuncture.

If the drug is prescribed now, it may cause unexpected changes and make the trial process less accurate.

Although the three of them do not need to come for treatment for the next period of time, the follow-up examinations and tests at the main hospital will not stop, and they need to keep track of the changes in the patients' symptoms at all times.

This is because Li Yancheng has other work to do, otherwise the patient would not have to come to the Public Security Hospital and could just wait at the military general hospital.

"Yancheng, why are you still seeing other patients here?"

As soon as Director Liu finished speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside. Before anyone came in, a voice came first. It was Su Xiaotong. As he was busy with work these two days, he didn't know that Li Yancheng had taken over the three cancer patients sent by the general hospital. He came here because he had something to do. When he asked in front, he was told that he was in the inpatient department at the back. After arriving at the ward where Mr. Bai was, he found out that this guy had other patients.

"Oh, Uncle Liu, you are here too! I am so sorry to bother you."

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Director Liu Changshun of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the General Hospital was also there, and he greeted him with a smile.

"Director Su, I should be the one to say sorry. I have taken up Chief Li's time and caused you trouble." After seeing who came in, Director Liu, who was originally sitting, stood up, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Su Xiaotong who was walking quickly over, and said apologetically.

In order to ask Li Yancheng to cooperate in the research on cancer treatment, the General Hospital of the Army sent a letter requesting assistance to the Social Affairs Bureau Headquarters through its superior department and obtained formal approval.

Otherwise, if they just want to do it privately, not to mention whether Director Liu and other relevant departments of the general hospital have time, even Li Yancheng has no time to waste here. In addition to ensuring that Mr. Bai continues to live for a while, he still has a lot of work to do.

After all, his main job is the chief of the pre-trial section of the Operations Division 1 of the Social Affairs Bureau, not a doctor.

In the First Division, there are issues that Meng Lan had previously confessed that need to be dealt with urgently, and some matters that Sun Quanxi had confessed and transferred over from the Second Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau are awaiting further verification.

As the chief of the pre-trial section, he is very busy with his job.

If Li Yancheng had not wanted to use this opportunity to cooperate in the treatment of the cancer patient in order to achieve his goal of curing that person, he might have declined when the headquarters solicited his opinion the day before yesterday.

At least we have to wait until this busy period of work is over.

Director? Section Chief?
When the elderly male patient heard Director Liu address the young man who had just come in as the director, and then looked at the equally young Section Chief Li, he couldn't help but smack his lips in amazement.

My goodness, are the cadres in the public security system already so young now?
This old patient was a team leader in his factory workshop before retiring. He knew very well how difficult it was to become a cadre at a young age. The right time, right place and right people were all essential, and seniority was still the key.

Although it is still unclear why Director Liu of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the General Hospital brought the patient to Li Yancheng for treatment, after hearing his words, Su Xiaotong smiled and said.

"Director Liu is too polite. No matter what we do, we are serving the people. Uh... I wonder how long this will take?"

"Today's treatment is over. The next one will be in a week."

"That's good, as long as it doesn't interfere with the work."

"Director Su must have something to talk to Section Chief Li about. We're done here, so let's go over there first."

"Okay, I'll see Director Liu off."

"Director Su, please stay. You're welcome."

After saying hello to Li Yancheng again and making arrangements for some follow-up matters, Director Liu took the three patients and left the ward.

This is just the beginning, so he insisted on coming to see the effect of acupuncture. Once it gets on track, other doctors will come. All they need to do is to keep a record of each treatment.

As for treatment, at this stage it is a one-man show by Li Yancheng.

……

"I haven't seen you these past two days. What have you been busy with?"

After seeing off Director Liu and the three patients, Li Yancheng and Su Xiaotong said something to the hospital before walking towards their private building.

"I went to Dingbao the afternoon before yesterday to verify some of the things Sun Quanxi had confessed, and I just came back at noon."

"Why do you look so tired? You must have not slept for two days, right?"

"How can I have time to sleep?" Su Xiaotong shook his head with a wry smile, took out a cigarette from his pocket, gave it to Li Yancheng, and then lit one for himself.

"After I went there, with the cooperation of Beihe Social Affairs Bureau, I have been hanging out in Dingbao Archives. I am so overwhelmed by reading the archives.

Fortunately, although there was a lot of trouble there in the past few years, the archives have been well preserved thanks to the efforts of the staff. Otherwise, many things from the past may never see the light of day again.”

Su Xiaotong stopped talking here, turned his head and looked at Li Yancheng curiously and asked, "Why did Director Liu from the General Hospital bring another patient to see you?"

"Their main hospital has set up a project team to study cancer, and he is the person in charge of this project. Director Liu has always been particularly interested in my acupuncture, especially seeing that I have helped Meng Lan live so long.

I just wanted to see how effective my acupuncture could be in treating cancer, so I asked the superior department of their main hospital to send a letter of assistance to our headquarters, hoping that I could help.”

"The headquarters actually agreed!" Su Xiaotong raised his eyebrows, looking incredulous.

He thought that Director Liu was relying on his personal connections, but it turns out that he was using formal channels.

What he couldn't believe was that the headquarters could approve such a thing.

You should know that after separating from the military system, the Social Affairs Bureau has always insisted on not intervening in the affairs of local governments and the military, and has only focused on doing its own work. This is also the requirement of the Security Committee leaders.

This is because he was not clear about the meaning behind the establishment of this project team. If he knew, he would not think so.

The assistance letter will certainly not clearly state the main cause behind the incident, but the fact that this letter can be sent across the system is the result of private communication between the leaders of both parties.

Otherwise, no department will send a letter to another unit across the system without communication, and they may just ignore you.

Although Li Yancheng knew the meaning behind it, it was just his guess. Director Liu had never told him, and the leaders at the headquarters hadn't told him either, so he didn't explain it to Su Xiaotong.

"After all, I am a doctor by profession. I feel very honored to be able to contribute to the development of the country's medical industry in my spare time."

"Heh." Su Xiaotong glanced at Li Yancheng beside him with his eyes slanted, and said disdainfully: "Don't talk nonsense here. I don't know what you are thinking. Okay, let's not talk about this. You should manage your time well. Since you have agreed to do this, don't delay the patient's condition."

"I know. Why did you come to see me?"

"Let me talk to you about something."

As they were talking, the two of them had already walked outside the special building. Neither of them had any intention of going in, so they squatted on the steps outside and started talking about business.

At the same time, the three departments received a notice from the bureau office, rejecting their proposal to ask Li Yancheng for help. They were asked to investigate the case on their own and were required to use evidence during the investigation instead of asking others for help at every turn.

The rejection from the bureau made all the middle and senior management of the three departments a little confused and bewildered.

Seeing the confusion in everyone's eyes, Director Zhou Weifeng was suddenly shocked. From everyone's expressions, he immediately realized why the bureau rejected this request.

Since when did they start to have the idea of ​​"relying" when handling cases?

Not only everyone, but even he, the director, has this idea, and it is very subtle.

This is not a good thing. How can you put all your hopes on one person?
If this person is away on business, will their case remain unsolved? Are they just waiting for this person to come back?
"dong dong dong"

Thinking of this, Director Zhou tapped the table a few times with his fingers, drawing everyone's attention to him, then cleared his throat and spoke.

"What? What's with that expression on your face? Just because the bureau didn't approve Comrade Li Yancheng to come and assist, you guys won't handle the case? Or do you think from the bottom of your heart that we can't solve this case and must use unconventional means?
Then again, since it is an unconventional method, why do you want to turn it into a conventional method? Does that mean that if there is a case in the future, our front-line investigators and action team members will be the ones who follow the clues to catch people?
There is no need to consider anything or think about anything. Just bring them back one by one and let Comrade Li Yancheng interrogate them.

Then when the case is solved, all the credit goes to others, and we are just a bunch of spectators who provide a platform for others?"

Seeing everyone sitting there with their heads down and not saying a word, Director Zhou Weifeng did not continue talking about this topic. As long as they understood what he meant, it would be fine. He then turned to talk about the case.

“Okay, since the previous action plan was rejected, let’s make a new plan. The leaders above have already set the stage for us, and the information that should be leaked has already been leaked.

What we need to do next is, first, preventive work and resolutely prevent the leakage of other information, and second, destroy this organization as quickly as possible.

Comrade Chuanxiang, is there any feedback from the forensic doctor? How did Qin Ping die? Didn't Comrade Li Yancheng help contact the experts at the military hospital to analyze the case? "

"The experts at the General Hospital are still conducting experiments, but they have basically confirmed that Qin Ping was murdered. However, the time when he was injured was earlier than the time of death, which should be at least ten days."

When the director called him to question, Chief Zhang Chuanxiang of the Investigation Section told him the news he had just received half an hour ago.

"Since it has been confirmed that it was a homicide, why do we need to conduct any more tests?" Director Zhou asked curiously.

"Experts want to find out when the small wound on Qin Ping's heart was formed, and why his heart has not changed."
