Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 339 If you refuse, don’t do it!

"Your teacher really misses you."

"In the past twenty days, I've made at least ten calls. Even your parents haven't called you so many times!~" When Chen Yu and Zhou Yanqing were resting at a highway service area, Chen Yu was holding a cup of iced yogurt and slurping it non-stop.

"The teacher is confirming with me that I will be officially admitted to the department and arranging the time for the surgery."

"In the past, when the teacher was on annual leave, Associate Professor Huang Xianming and Chief Physician Liu Qingshan would call the teacher more often," said Zhou Yanqing.

"For anyone, having an operation is a big deal, so naturally, they want to get a relatively accurate answer."

"It's just that there are too many people in our country. When most patients seek medical treatment, except for the outpatient consultation time after registering, other times are uncertain."

Chen Yu didn't believe it: "In principle, there is a queue, but in the process of queuing, some people still can't wait for others."

"I'm sure the person your teacher called to schedule your surgery has some connections in the hospital."

“Maybe not admitted long in advance, but definitely brought forward.”

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he explained that he did not want to confront Zhou Yanqing, and said: "In fact, this phenomenon is common in the system..."

Zhou Yanqing did not deny it: "It will be easier to get things done if you have acquaintances."

Chen Yu then asked, "Is what my parents said true? My father's old boss said that you were your relative, so you were directly arranged to be hospitalized?"

Teacher Zhou Yanqing's response was beyond Chen Yu's understanding.

She didn't know when Zhou Yanqing became so powerful.

Before, although Professor Tan Zhongyu loved Zhou Yanqing, it was impossible for him to do so just by mentioning the three words Zhou Yanqing...

"I really didn't know about this before, but I asked my master the day before yesterday and he said it had been arranged."

"It's arranged, so let's arrange it. I'll go back early and have some surgeries done in August, so as not to affect the normal surgery schedule in September!"

"I'm working overtime..." Zhou Yanqing replied.

Zhou Yanqing is just one person, and he certainly cannot correct any system to become absolutely fair.

However, Zhou Yanqing could also work overtime or something to make the order relatively more flexible.

"It's really annoying that we have to hold a meeting before school starts. In fact, many things can be solved with just one announcement, but we have to hold a meeting."

"And it's a meeting where the whole school is gathered together!"

"One day off, one day off, and it lasted for about a week. I don't know what the point of this ineffective meeting is." Chen Yu started to complain about other things...

……

Xiangya Hospital, Hand Surgery Ward.

Liu Wanqing and Shu Junjun came to bed 14. Shu Junjun said, "Hello, this is the chief resident of our department and the senior doctor in Professor Tan's group."

Shu Junjun had reported the patient's demands to Liu Wanqing in advance, so there was no need to give further introduction.

"Hello, I'm Liu Wanqing, you can also call me Doctor Liu." Liu Wanqing smiled, "I heard from Doctor Shu that you have something to talk to me about?"

Shu Junjun is Professor Ding Xiao’s master student and is about to finish his first year.

Shu Junjun was just a relative newbie in the department, and this was a patient from his own group, so Shu Junjun didn't dare to make a decision on his own. Liu Wanqing didn't blame Shu Junjun at all for calling him over to confront the patient in person.

"Hey, Dr. Liu, you're just in time."

"I just heard from Dr. Shu that my surgery was not performed by Professor Tan, but by another doctor, Dr. Zhou."

"No? I was admitted to the hospital for Professor Tan's outpatient treatment. How come Professor Tan wasn't the one who performed the surgery?"

"We patients have the right to choose the surgeon. I asked Professor Tan to perform this operation." The patient's right hand was stiff, but his left hand was flipping in the air excitedly.

Shu Junjun immediately showed a helpless look on his face: "Teacher Liu, I still haven't finished writing the medical records..."

"Well, you go."

Liu Wanqing then looked at the patient and said, "Brother, I remember we explained this to you yesterday. Professor Tan will also be on stage at that time."

"It's just that Dr. Zhou Yanqing is the one who performed your surgery. Your surgery is not a simple functional reconstruction surgery. According to your requirements for the quality of postoperative rehabilitation, you must do a functional rehabilitation surgery."

"And Dr. Zhou in our group is relatively more proficient in this type of surgery."

"You're talking bullshit!" the patient said firmly.

"Tan Zhongyu is the head of your department. He is probably your teacher. You all learned your skills from Professor Tan."

"I know your tricks here, so don't fool me."

"I only want Professor Tan to do this operation. This is my right!~"

When Liu Wanqing heard this, he looked at the patient's expression carefully, swallowed twice, and said, "Then can you accept that the effect of postoperative rehabilitation may not meet your expectations?"

If Tan Zhongyu wants to undergo surgery for sexual reasons, it is not impossible for him to complete the surgery.

“What might not be achievable?”

"Dr. Zhou was not allowed to perform the surgery, so you deliberately messed up the operation?"

"Who is this Doctor Zhou? What does his father do?" The patient became annoyed and began to question him one by one.

"Uncle, I told you that Dr. Zhou would be better at this kind of surgery, but you didn't believe me."

"If you absolutely refuse to let Dr. Zhou operate on you, I suggest you be discharged from the hospital and don't have this operation!" Liu Wanqing said.

"It was Professor Tan Zhongyu who admitted me to the hospital. It was Professor Tan who said he could perform surgery on me!~"

"Call Professor Tan here so I can confront him face to face," said the patient.

"Ask him if it was him who issued the hospitalization certificate for me, and if it was him who told me that he would have the surgery on me. He didn't say that someone else would have the surgery..." The patient became more and more agitated as he spoke.

This remark irritated the big brother next door.

The elder brother knew Zhou Yanqing, so he said, "If you don't trust Dr. Zhou, then just let Professor Tan do it."

"Just accept the results."

"Or maybe you're discharged from the hospital."

"What does this have to do with you?" the patient turned around and said fiercely.

"It's none of my business. I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so pushy. I'm sorry, brother. Please do as you please!" The young man respected the fate and choices of others and stopped talking nonsense.

Liu Wanqing patiently explained again: "Brother, there are some things I can't say too directly, but I strongly recommend that you choose Dr. Zhou Yanqing to perform the surgery."

"If you still strongly ask Professor Tan to do it, you should be mentally prepared. Your functional recovery will not be that good."

This is the rhetoric used by Tan Zhongyu himself.

It is to deal with some people who have a certain network of connections, but not many of them, and do not have a detailed understanding of hand surgery.

"You still want to threaten me?"

"Then I'm not really afraid of your threats."

"If my abilities are not as good as others, you will be finished if I don't report you." The middle-aged man leaned on the bed, not worried at all, but threatened first. His expression was half-smile.

Liu Wanqing felt that he could not handle such a problem, so he called his teacher.

Tan Zhongyu doesn't have that much patience.

After giving Liu Wanqing a few brief replies, Liu Wanqing leaned back and said, "Professor Tan asked you whether you want to have the surgery or not?"

"If you refuse surgery, you will be discharged from the hospital. If you choose surgery, you will have to wait! ~"

"What if I don't wait?" asked the middle-aged man.

"It's up to you then!~"

"You can report however you like, but you'd better abide by the public order law, otherwise you may be in trouble." Liu Wanqing said and left.

The middle-aged man felt insulted and pointed at Liu Wanqing's back and yelled, "What's your attitude? I want to file a complaint against you!"

Liu Wanqing said: "I have explained it to you in a gentle and clear manner, but you just didn't listen to my explanation."

"Then I can't control your mind either."

"I still have work to do. I can't always spend time here with you."

"It is your right to report my bad attitude."

……

What Liu Wanqing didn't know was that this big brother actually reported it. Not only did he report it to the medical department, but he also called his acquaintances in the hospital over.

When Liu Wanqing saw that the people coming were a professor and Yuan Yousheng from the medical department, his scalp tightened instantly.

The patient came in with Yuan Yousheng from the Medical Department's Complaint Management Office and Professor Qu from the Department of Cardiology.

"Doctor Liu, I don't mean to cause you any trouble, but you can't threaten the patient, can you?"

"Say it again?" The middle-aged man said confidently after entering the doctor's office.

Liu Wanqing was not scared. He took out his mobile phone and turned on the recording function: "First of all, this patient, as a hand surgeon, I will tell you clearly."

“There are inherent risks with surgery, and the effectiveness of surgery varies from person to person.”

"Before the operation, the doctor team can only evaluate the surgical process based on your condition, but cannot guarantee the final therapeutic effect."

"Any surgery will have certain side effects. This is an inherent occurrence in medicine."

"Of course, as a patient, you have the right to freely choose surgery or refuse surgery!~"

"In China, there are many well-known hospitals whose technical level may be better than that of our hospital's hand surgery department."

"If you have high requirements for your postoperative function, I suggest you go to a top hospital for hand surgery. This is also your right!"

With just one sentence, Liu Wanqing made some of the patients' rights clear.

Yuan Yousheng couldn't help but smile when he saw Liu Wanqing turn on the recording function. He said, "Doctor Liu, we are here to solve the problem, not to create a dispute."

"There is no need to record it. If there is a misunderstanding, we can just clear it up."

Professor Qu remained silent the whole time, but Liu Wanqing was not intimidated by him.

The two people are not in the same system. Even though Professor Qu is a professor of internal medicine, he does not have much say in surgical surgery.

"Director Yuan, what I said are all existing facts. Surgery has risks and sequelae. You are a practitioner in the medical department, so you must understand this better than me."

"Before surgical operations, especially level IV operations, new operations need to be clearly informed of the corresponding risks to patients. Only if the patient is willing to accept the corresponding risks can the operation be performed."

"If the patient explicitly refuses, our department must give priority to respecting the patient's right to free choice."

Professor Qu originally wanted to say more, but he didn't dare to speak nonsense at this moment.

"Doctor Liu, Wang Youquan actually just wanted Professor Tan to perform the surgery. It is the patient's right to choose the surgeon."

"If Professor Tan's surgery schedule is not too busy, this request can be met."

Liu Wanqing continued to nod: "Patients have the right to choose their surgeon under certain circumstances, and our team also recognizes and respects patients' rights."

"But Director Yuan, no matter who performed the surgery, we must respect objective facts."

“Whether it’s Professor Tan or any other professor, they may not be able to achieve the absolute function that the patient expects after the surgery.”

"No doctor would dare to say such a thing."

"Medicine and surgery are complicated..."

"We must also fully respect the patient's right to referral and further medical treatment." Liu Wanqing still spoke in an official manner.

"Isn't it just that you don't want Dr. Zhou from your department to perform the surgery? Why are you saying so much?"

"How much benefit did this Doctor Zhou give you?"

"You want me to be the sacrifice for his surgery practice? I don't want to, but you still threaten me?"

"Director Yuan, you heard it too." The patient said to Yuan Yousheng.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yousheng tilted his head and whispered in the patient's ear for a while.

The patient was shocked: "How is this possible?"

"There are some things that Dr. Liu, as Professor Tan's student and a subordinate in hand surgery, cannot say."

“Others can say it, but they can’t say it themselves.”

"The specialists in our hospital also hope to provide you with relatively better medical services."

"Just?" The patient scratched his head.

"Are you not telling me this on purpose to protect Dr. Liu?" Wang Youquan's eyes began to wander between Liu Wanqing and Yuan Yousheng.

This kind of thing is unbelievable.

If Wang Youquan knew nothing about medicine or had no acquaintances, he might still believe in such a miracle.

But Wang Youquan has friends in the medical field and knows a lot of similar things.

Although there are rumors on the Internet about how great some geniuses are, when it comes to their professional fields, they are nothing but juniors in front of the top experts.

Liu Wanqing said: "Wang Youquan, you have the right to choose surgery or refuse surgery. You also have the right to choose the surgeon. I have made my position very clear."

"If you refuse surgery and sign your discharge, we can do it right away."

"If you ask Professor Tan to perform the surgery, we will also have a detailed conversation with you and sign your name before the surgery."

“It’s actually that simple.”

Wang Youquan looked at Yuan Yousheng, who had a calm expression.

Then he looked at Professor Qu next to him, who was frowning. It was obvious that he found it difficult to accept such a statement, but he couldn't refute it out loud because of his face...
