Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 342: Once a teacher, always a father! ~
Wednesday, August 8, was sunny but there was no spring breeze.

As soon as Zhou Yanqing left the house, he felt like he was placed in a steamer, with heat boiling all over his body and no way to escape.

Zhou Yanqing immediately changed his mind about taking the bus to work and quickly took a taxi to the hospital.

The shift change at the hospital was at eight o'clock, but Chen Yu's official meeting didn't start until half past nine, so she wasn't awake yet, and Zhou Yanqing didn't want to disturb her to catch up on her sleep.

After changing from taking the bus to going to work to taking a taxi, Zhou Yanqing lost the urge to go out for some noodles, so when he arrived at the hospital entrance, he went straight into the hospital.

It wasn't that Zhou Yanqing was being pretentious or that he was in poor health. The walk from the door to the emergency department had already made his forehead sweat.

The summer in Shashi is so hot!

After arriving at the department, Zhou Yanqing took off his white coat first, lowered his head to adjust the buttons, and saw Duan Qilin walking in from the doctor's lounge. Without looking up, he asked, "Brother Qilin, do you want to have some noodles with me?"

"I just prepared some."

"together."

"Zhou Yanqing, do you know that you are being sued?" Duan Qilin said.

Zhou Yanqing raised his head suddenly, his eyes like an eagle.

His tone was sharp; "When did it happen? Who reported me? How come I didn't know about it?"

"I had dinner with Brother Ning Zhu yesterday, and he didn't mention this."

You were sued and you were totally unaware of it?

What is Master doing?
"You performed a functional rehabilitation surgery in June. The patient was not satisfied with the post-operative function and reported the complaint to the medical department during the follow-up examination in early August."

"After the medical department was dissatisfied with the handling, they went directly to the provincial health commission."

"It's about Number 5, but Master said that no one can tell you about this before you come back. He will handle it himself." Duan Qilin is one of the few people in the department who is not afraid of Zhou Yanqing, so he has a relatively stable mentality.

"We are not allowed to send you messages, and we don't know what stage it is at now."

"I also heard in the group that you were coming to the department today, so I rushed over in advance."

"You...you still want to eat noodles?" Duan Qilin asked. He looked a little hesitant: "I plan to order fish noodles. I'll treat you."

"Eat, I didn't have breakfast."

"Let me call my master first." Even if the sky falls, you have to fill your stomach if you have a chance to eat. Zhou Yanqing didn't understand this principle before.

But having gone hungry during his hospitalization, he now hopes to eat on time every day.

I would rather die than starve to death.

As soon as Zhou Yanqing made the call, Tan Zhongyu said, "Yanqing, I'll be at the department soon. Let's talk later."

Zhou Yanqing wanted to say, Master, you are my master, why can you wait a little longer?

However, since Tan Zhongyu was so organized, Zhou Yanqing still chose to trust him.

Tan Zhongyu didn't bring this matter to his ears, so he should be absolutely sure that he could handle this matter.

"Okay, Master!" Zhou Yanqing replied.

Duan Qilin consoled him, "Master said not to tell you about this, firstly because he was afraid it would affect your vacation, and secondly, he may really have a way to deal with this matter, so you don't have to worry too much, Yanqing."

"Well, let's talk about it after the master comes." Zhou Yanqing touched his head after hanging up the phone.

……

When Tan Zhongyu appeared in the department, Zhou Yanqing had already put on his white coat very neatly. He approached him honestly, with a guilty look on his face: "Master... I..."

Tan Zhongyu's face was grim, and his tone was quiet: "Are you having fun on your trip? Post to your Moments once every three days."

Zhou Yanqing swallowed twice. Duan Qilin and Yu Yue, who originally wanted to come up to listen to the gossip, ran away immediately, not daring to accept the angry "bullets" from Tan Zhongyu!
"Master, I have been quite relaxed during this period. I am sorry, Master, I really don't know what happened in the department."

"You should have told me so that I could come back and help deal with it." Zhou Yanqing's tone was also quite guilty.

Even though it was such a big thing, my own teacher helped me to cover it up, and because they were afraid that it would affect my travel, they asked everyone in the department to keep it secret and not report it.

Tan Zhongyu brought Zhou Yanqing to the director's office with a grim expression on his face, looking gloomy all the way.

It was not until he entered the office that Tan Zhongyu finally couldn't hold back his laughter and burst out laughing.

He turned 180 degrees on the spot, unable to hold back any more: "Zhou Yanqing, did you secretly instigate Zhan Pengfei to report you?"

"Master, am I crazy?" Zhou Yanqing replied instinctively.

"How could I possibly cause trouble for myself?" Zhou Yanqing vowed.

Are you kidding? You instigate your patients to report you. Do you think your career is too long?
Tan Zhongyu looked Zhou Yanqing up and down: "Well, if it was Ning Zhu, I would fully doubt it."

"But you, I don't think you can pull off such a trick."

Tan Zhongyu clapped his palms, then pretended to pat his pockets on both sides.

Zhou Yanqing really couldn't understand his teacher, and didn't know what was so funny about him being reported.

Zhou Yanqing was a little anxious.

"Master, is Zhan Pengfei's recovery from the surgery very difficult?"

"It should be okay?" Zhou Yanqing muttered secretly.

After Duan Qilin told him the patient's name, Zhou Yanqing specifically checked the patient's MRI results and various physical examination reports, all of which showed that the patient had recovered very well after the operation.

His original muscle strength before surgery could be clinically defined as level 2, and now it has recovered to level 4, which can be said to be a miracle.

"Zhan Pengfei has been retired after the operation. Another person with a similar condition has recovered better than him and has now been promoted and received a pay raise."

, he was not very satisfied with the result, so he came to you. "

“He is a very professional person.”

"However, his action has caused some trouble," said Tan Zhongyu.

For medical disputes, we need to form an expert group.

In Hunan Province, if there is a medical quality dispute in a prefecture-level hospital, it will be handled by a group of experts formed by Xiangya Hospital, Xiangya Second Hospital, Provincial People's Hospital, etc.

However, if it is Xiangya Hospital and Xiangya Second Hospital, whether it is to comply with the principle of abstention or for other considerations, they cannot form an expert group from the province to conduct verification.

This is equivalent to drawing surgical experts from other provinces and hospitals to evaluate the patient's postoperative function and determine whether it meets the existing medical standards.

"The review process hasn't started yet. Some of my friends think I'm just copying the entertainment industry's practices..." Tan Zhongyu was both angry and amused.

Fortunately, Zhou Yanqing understood what he heard.

The reason why Tan Zhongyu asked everyone not to disturb Zhou Yanqing was, firstly, to allow Zhou Yanqing to travel well, and secondly, if the patient insisted on following the "formal procedure", he would be more than happy to do so.

Such a good opportunity to show off...

"Master, isn't this a waste of judicial resources?" Zhou Yanqing lowered his voice.

Tan Zhongyu said: "It was Zhan Pengfei who insisted on suing!~"

"Our department, I, our hospital's medical department, and the legal department have all patiently advised him many times, but he insists that he is not satisfied with our medical results. We can't kneel down and say nice things or pay compensation, right?"

"Yanqing, sometimes?"

"Some things are not on the bright side..." said Tan Zhongyu.

The current situation is that Tan Zhongyu is sleepy and has a pillow. Tan Zhongyu has not yet figured out how to show off this technology in front of other colleagues. By chance, Zhan Pengfei's "accusation" has opened up the situation for Tan Zhongyu.

Functional rehabilitation has become a reality from previous topic discussions.

Level 2 strength: The limb can move only in a flat direction; it cannot resist gravity.

Level 3: The limbs can partially resist gravity, that is, the flat limbs can leave the bed;

Level 4: The lower limbs completely resist gravity, but can only resist a certain amount of external resistance...

It’s been less than two months since the operation, and it is expected to reach level 5 in the end!
It would probably be difficult for this patient to fully recover the muscle strength level of a normal adult male, but being able to recover from level 2 to level 5 is a miracle in medical history.

The patient himself was too "greedy". He also wanted to get a promotion and a raise in salary through the surgery. How could everyone fulfill his wish?

"Master, then, do I have to appear in court?" Zhou Yanqing asked.

Zhou Yanqing doesn't want to go to the dock unless it is necessary.

"It's highly unlikely, unless Zhan Pengfei is completely shameless and asks the judge to suspend your qualification as the lead surgeon, thus cutting off the future prospects for all other patients."

"If that's true, he would have wiped out his own social circle!~" said Tan Zhongyu.

Zhan Pengfei, you can be greedy and sue Zhou Yanqing, but you'd better think clearly about your demands. Do you want compensation or punishment for Zhou Yanqing?

It is impossible to lose money. The operation is very effective and is already first-class. It may not meet your expectations, but it has exceeded the objective medical laws.

If you just want to mess with Zhou Yanqing, you'd better think about the social impact...

And if there is no demand, it will naturally come to nothing.

The path of losing money probably won't work.

"But you'd better avoid it and don't face this man named Zhan Pengfei head-on." Tan Zhongyu said.

Zhou Yanqing's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and he replied, "Master, if he wants to make trouble, then let him make trouble..."

"It's just right. Let's take this opportunity to stop all surgeries in the department!"

"Nonsense!" Tan Zhongyu interrupted immediately upon hearing this.

Another reason why he didn't want to tell Zhou Yanqing in advance was because of Zhou Yanqing's temper.

What if Zhou Yanqing gets a little annoyed and smashes the pot directly? Then no one will be able to play anymore.

"Master, I'm being sued? How could I have said such nonsense?"

"This patient, Zhan Pengfei, said he was fine before the surgery and before he came to see me. As long as there is progress, it's fine."

"Now that the surgery is done, he backhands me and bites me."

"I'm not that generous!~"

"Master, I ask you to tell the two leaders who came to our department last time that I refuse to perform similar operations in the short term!~" Zhou Yanqing said.

Tan Zhongyu said: "Yanqing, you see, this is the fundamental reason why I said not to tell you about this."

"You're being a little too emotional."

Zhou Yanqing said: "Master, this is all directed at me, and it almost ruined my career."

"Moreover, this type of functional rehabilitation surgery is not clear. Currently, it has not been established as a standard procedure by the National Health Commission. If we really bring a lawsuit, we are likely to lose."

"This operation will also be stopped!~"

"You should know this better than I do."

Tan Zhongyu said firmly: "It will not be stopped. The inherent 'permissible risk' principle and 'urgency and medical attempts' of medical errors will not allow medical staff to bear responsibility."

"In certain special circumstances, in order to pursue social progress, human activities that threaten legal interests should be allowed to exist, and medical activities are just such a category."

“When doctors conduct new medical trials, in addition to obtaining the patient’s consent, they must also carefully consider the patient’s symptoms, physical condition, hospital equipment, doctor’s ability, and other necessary experiments and possible risks, and provide comprehensive emergency equipment.”

"We have done all of this, we have communicated, and we have upheld the bottom line principle of not doing any harm! ~ So we are not afraid of a lawsuit."

Zhou Yanqing asked: "Master, what if?"

"I mean, what if, what if this Zhan Pengfei finds someone?"

"What if, in court, the judge rules that we are at fault?"

Tan Zhongyu was stunned when he heard this, he probably didn’t think so much about it.

Zhou Yanqing said: "Master, I have been studying medicine until now, and I have invested twelve years in studying medicine alone!~"

"I don't care what kind of hero Zhan Pengfei is or what he wants to do. As long as I am true to my heart and the hands I hold, I will not allow him to block my way forward."

"Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, it won't work!~"

"I can't let all the things I've learned in the past years go to waste!" Zhou Yanqing said with a resolute attitude.

"Master, I will go and talk to the patients who have been admitted to the hospital myself."

"According to the regulations on medical disputes, the defendant must appear in court. I am going to sue for a legitimate reason! ~"

After Zhou Yanqing finished speaking, he walked out of the director's office without hesitation.

When Tan Zhongyu heard this, his scalp instantly went numb.

"Zhou Yanqing, come back!~"

Zhou Yanqing remained unmoved.

"Come back!" Tan Zhongyu shouted angrily.

Zhou Yanqing then turned around and went into the director's office again.

Several young masters who were passing by the director's office heard Tan Zhongyu's roar and trembled all over. They didn't dare to move and tiptoed towards the doctor's office. They were very careful throughout the process...

"Yanqing, I know you feel wronged!" When Tan Zhongyu tried to comfort her.

Zhou Yanqing said firmly: "Master, if I have any grievances, I will not swallow them."

"If he wants to sue, he can do so. Not only will I respond to the lawsuit, I will also collect information from all sides to see if he has deliberately spread rumors and infringed on my right to reputation."

"If so, I will sue him and hold him accountable for his legal responsibilities!~"

"I can afford this lawsuit."

"Is it necessary to do this?" Tan Zhongyu's expression began to become serious.

Zhou Yanqing is no joke when it comes to what he says or does, especially when it comes to important matters like this, he will do it once he thinks about it.

"Why isn't it necessary?"

"I performed a surgery that no one else in the country could perform. Do I have to pretend to be noble and compromise?"

"I don't care what his purpose is, I will hold him accountable to the end!"

"By the way, Master, what is his request?"

"I'm going to consult a lawyer first!~" Zhou Yanqing didn't intend to swallow his anger or anything.
