Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 63 Queuing
Of course Li Yancheng didn't know what happened in the Luo family. He came to the hospital early in the morning, and after eating in the cafeteria, before he even reached the door of his own clinic, he was startled by the scene in front of the clinic not far away.

Not only him, but other doctors passing by were also pointing in this direction.

My goodness, it’s not even eight o’clock yet, but there’s already a queue outside his clinic. There are more than a dozen people, all elderly men and women, and a nurse is trying to maintain order.

Seeing Li Yancheng, the nurse trotted over to him.

"Doctor Li, those patients all specifically asked for your treatment."

"You want me to treat you?"

Li Yancheng was a little confused. What the hell was this? He didn't think his medical skills had reached this level.

"What disease do they have?"

No matter what, the people have already arrived and they all look quite old, so he has to receive them first.

He asked as he walked past.

"It's all old cold legs."

Director Sun’s relative yesterday!
Li Yancheng immediately thought of the crux of the problem.

When I went over to ask, it turned out to be true.

These people were introduced by fellow patients, that is, relatives of Director Sun, whom he treated yesterday.

Due to the burden of life and the conditions, there is still a large number of people suffering from cold legs, especially those who have engaged in physical labor when they were young and elderly women.

There is no way to completely cure the disease of old cold legs, and it may still persist even after decades. The only way to relieve it is to take medicine or do physical therapy.

If the condition is really serious and cannot be relieved by conservative treatment, surgery can be performed to repair or replace the joint, but this can only relieve and restore joint movement function and cannot cure the disease.

The same goes for Li Yancheng. The acupuncture treatment he provides to these patients is also through stimulating acupuncture points to clear the meridians, but this is still only a temporary solution and not a cure for the disease. The advantage is that they don't have to take medicine frequently, and it is more friendly to those who don't have their medical expenses reimbursed by their employers.

After all, even if medicines are cheap nowadays, they still amount to a considerable expense over the years. Many people try to save money by toughing out minor illnesses, forcing themselves not to take medicine, or only taking painkillers, thus turning minor illnesses into major ones.

Because it was just acupuncture, he invited another one in after he finished inserting the needle, and then asked the nurse to help him, so the process was very fast.

The unusual movements here also attracted the attention of leaders at all levels of the hospital, and the directors and deputy directors of various departments, and the dean and vice dean came one after another.

Li Yancheng, who originally became famous because his wife ran away, has entered the leader's eyes in another way today.

"Old Sun, I remember this young man studied Western medicine, didn't he?"

The hospital's top leader, Dean Yuan, also came over. He just looked at the door and left. Accompanying him was Director Sun from the Department of Internal Medicine.

"Yes, he did study Western medicine in school. He learned Chinese medicine from his grandfather. His grandfather's name is Li Yuanhe. I wonder if the dean still remembers him."

"I know who his grandfather is. If I remember correctly, this old man should be a classmate of your master, right?"

"Yes, I just found out yesterday because I asked."

"But his grandfather and your master should have learned Western medicine at that time. Are they also proficient in Chinese medicine?"

"My master only has a superficial understanding of Chinese medicine. After all, they mainly studied Western medicine at that time. As for Mr. Li, I don't know much about him. Maybe he learned from some other famous Chinese medicine expert back then." "Hmm"

Dean Yuan nodded. He could only guess like this. The old man was no longer around, so who could he go and ask?

"You should talk to Doctor Li later. It's better to keep a low profile. Our hospital is not a paradise. Who knows who else might be thinking about his matter. If someone gets angry and causes trouble for him, it will be more trouble than it's worth."

"Today's incident was actually caused by me." Director Sun knew that the dean said this to protect the young man Li Yancheng, so he hurriedly helped to explain.

"Oh? What exactly happened?" Dean Yuan stopped and asked curiously.

"I heard that Doctor Li is a good doctor, especially acupuncture. Yesterday, a relative of mine came to see me because his old cold legs relapsed due to the weather in the past few days and he was in so much pain that he couldn't walk. I took him to Doctor Li.

The effect is really good. When my relative came, he was pushed here by his child, and he was able to walk on his own right after the injection.

I also didn't expect that after she went back, she told this story to some people she knew who also suffered from the disease.

The weather in Beijing has been unstable these past two days, with temperatures fluctuating. Those suffering from chronic cold legs have been in unbearable pain these past few days. When they heard that acupuncture could relieve the pain, they came here and that’s how the situation just now happened.”

"So that's how it is." Dean Yuan nodded in sudden realization. He lowered his head to think for a while, then raised his head again and said, "Old Sun, we should still try our best to protect young comrades. We should let these young people get training while not being so outstanding.

Alas... you are well aware of the current situation, which just proves the saying that people are afraid of being famous just as pigs are afraid of being fat."

"I understand what you mean."

Dean Yuan's words made Director Sun's face turn serious. "How about this? I'll have Doctor Li stay in the inpatient department in the backyard for a few days and then tell the registration office. If a patient comes to see Doctor Li by name, just say he's on vacation. Let this matter cool down for a few days, and it should be better."

"No, no." Unexpectedly, Dean Yuan rejected Director Sun's proposal without even thinking about it.

"The more you try to cover up, the more obvious it becomes. There's no need to do this. Just follow the normal schedule. There's no need to say he's on vacation. Just see the patients. We should try to avoid this kind of situation where a bunch of people come to see a certain doctor.

It’s the same for Dr. Li and other doctors, but don’t be too deliberate, as that might draw other people’s attention.”

"Okay, I understand what you mean."

"Okay, Lao Sun, I'll go over first, you go do your thing."

Dean Yuan stopped after walking a few steps and said, "I almost forgot. Old Sun, please count the family members and housing conditions of all the medical staff in your internal medicine department and report them to the office."

"Uh... Dean, are you going to build a family building?"

"We have this idea. Let's collect the data first. Lao Chen means that he should go to the higher-ups to negotiate with us."

The Old Chen that President Yuan mentioned is the full-time director sent by the committee. He has been working at the First Hospital for almost a year and is a pretty nice person.

Building family housing will make people happy regardless of whether they have a house to live in or not, and Director Sun is no exception.

He nodded with a smile: "No problem, I will report it to the office tomorrow at the latest."

"Um"
