NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 86: Alarming the Boss and Dealing with the Chief Doctor

"Go, go, go!"

Jensen went directly to the scene feeling angry and guilty. He also knew that only if he went to the stadium would the fans and Trail Blazers players feel at ease. Otherwise, with the nature of the fans and the media, they would definitely guess a lot of stories.

When he was caught by reporters at the scene, he just said by chance that Roy was undergoing physical therapy, which took a long time, so he couldn't return to the game on the spot.

Lakers fans:

"Another one trying to use our team's physical therapy equipment."

"This game is boring. Kobe and Roy didn't play against each other for long."

"The Trail Blazers should hurry up and get into the playoffs. We will probably meet in the first round. I'm sure I won't go for any physical therapy now. I'll have to do it even if I'm injured!"

It has to be said that the Lakers' physical therapy equipment is world-leading. After Roy's electrotherapy, his knee pain was greatly relieved and he can walk slowly on his own.

He and Thomas Reese just caught up with the players' bus and headed to the airport together.

When it was time to board the plane, Roy was helped onto the plane by the worried Oden. This scene was clearly captured by many reporters from the Los Angeles media through the glass windows.

Once the news spread, rumors began to spread.

"Roy is still limping after physical therapy? Will tonight be his last dance of the season?"

"Roy was helped by Oden onto the plane. Is he likely to be out for the season?"

Roy's knee? The curse of the Blazers' tearing city continues

"The Trail Blazers have another injured player. If they continue to play like this, Channing Frye will become the outside leader!"

"Secret: Roy and chief team doctor Jensen allegedly had an argument in the Lakers' medical room"

Anyway, there is always a topic about the Trail Blazers' veterinary team. After the media reports, the fans became excited again. They like to talk about this kind of metaphysical stuff.

"The main reason is that this game is boring. Oden was completely suppressed. It's better to talk about the Trail Blazers' team doctor."

"Yes, Oden has lost his motivation since he was welcomed to the NBA by Kobe Bryant's dunk in the first quarter. He still needs to cultivate his mentality."

"Howard: I know how it feels. I've been there before."

"The fans really got it right. Los Angeles can only have one Mamba?"

The Yellow Mamba never looks back: "Which bastard has such a bad mouth?!!"

"The Trail Blazers are truly a cursed team."

"Isn't it a torn knee ligament?"

“The mysterious and miraculous Chinese medicine cannot overcome the pioneer veterinary curse.”

"Yeah, even with such a great doctor, he still couldn't stop the Blazers' wave of injuries."

"Doctor Jiang is almost exhausted. He has just finished treating one patient and another one comes."

"Will Roy be treated by the Lakers today? I see Jensen is sitting on the court."

"I heard from Staples staff that Jensen was kicked out by Roy and Thomas Reese. He heard an argument at the door. It seemed that Roy's knee was bleeding?"

"Bleeding knees? What the hell?"

"If it's just normal bleeding, it's fine. But I'm worried about bleeding. It could very well be Roy's last dance of the season or even his career."

"Don't exaggerate, okay? Drawing blood can be divided into bloody liquid and pure blood. For a team doctor as experienced as Jensen, pure blood is definitely not possible."

"Anyway, Roy is back in Portland now. If Jiang Ming treats him, he should be able to get better soon."

"Yes, if you can go back for treatment, it means the problem is not serious. If the problem is serious, you can go directly to the Los Angeles hospital for treatment."

"bless!"

"Hurry up and go to the West Heaven to invite Buddha Jiang Ming!"

"Dr. Jiang Ming, I am a big fan of Roy. I am counting on you @姜明@姜暮烟@肖恩"

"+1! I really want to see the Yellow Mamba play in the playoffs!"

"@Yansen team, you can resign and let Jiang Ming team take over."

Sean and Jiang Muyan, who saw the news at this time, didn't need Jiang Ming to tell them. When they asked in the chat group whether Jiang Ming would provide overnight treatment for Roy, they quickly changed their clothes and rushed to the infirmary to work overtime.

This is Roy, all departments of the team have to revolve around him.

But in fact, their boss was still sleeping soundly. Jiang Ming estimated the landing time of the plane, set an alarm and went to catch up on his sleep.

Just as the fans said, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department has hardly stopped recently, and Jiang Ming has always believed that the doctor's health is the top priority.

If he doesn't stay active, where will he get the strength to do bone setting and massage?
What should I do if I insert acupuncture into the wrong acupoint?
It’s time to sleep!
late at night.

Rose Garden Arena.

When Sean and Jiang Muyan were dozing off in the office recliners in their work clothes, Jiang Ming quietly opened the door and came in, covered Jiang Muyan with a small blanket, then put on his work clothes and went to the pharmacy to decoct medicine.

Now the whole team knows that he needs to cook plasters and Chinese herbal decoctions. The management has specially allocated a small room to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine as their pharmacy, which makes things much more convenient for Jiang Ming as he no longer needs to go to the cafeteria downstairs to borrow fire to cook decoctions.

As the "business" of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department increased, this mysterious little room became more and more a place that all employees yearned for. In their eyes, Jiang Ming was like an alchemist who went in to make elixirs. It seemed that every time they poured out the residue and ate it, they could prolong their lives.

Rumor has spread that spending a few minutes in this room can refresh your mind and eliminate fatigue, and spending an hour in this room can cure all diseases.
While Jiang Ming was cooking the ointment, Roy and Thomas Reese also came to the infirmary with dark circles under their eyes.

Both of them were extremely exhausted after the long journey, especially Thomas Reese. As he was old, he felt like he was going to fall asleep at any second. When he heard Jiang Ming tell him to go back and rest first, he didn't even have the energy to go home. He just lay down on the sofa in his director's office and started snoring after a while.

Jiang Ming first took Roy to see the patient.

Although Roy had dark circles under his eyes, he felt much better after seeing Jiang Ming. After all, this was the first time he was treated personally by Jiang Ming, and he felt a little excited.

It's getting better too.
Feel the pulse and look at the tongue coating
He finally got to enjoy the Chinese medicine consultation method.

"The tongue is dark purple with ecchymosis."

"What does this mean?" Roy asked quickly.

"Let me see if you can lift your right knee by yourself."

Jiang Ming motioned for Roy to lift his right leg. Roy gritted his teeth and lifted it up, then he supported himself with his hand out of fear:
"Doctor, can you just snap it like that, what's that called, break my knee?"

"Are you talking about straightening your bones? You're in the stage of inflammation right now. If I straighten your bones, your screams will probably wake up everyone in the gym."

"Then forget it."

"Well, the effect of bone correction in the acute stage is actually negative."

"Then, Dr. Jiang, is my inflammation caused by that guy Jensen drawing blood?" Roy got angry when he mentioned Jensen, and he shouted like a big child.

Jiang Ming knew what Roy meant. If the inflammation was not caused by the collision between him and Kobe, he would definitely "involve Jensen" tomorrow:
"Don't worry about what caused your right knee now. The most urgent thing is to cure it. Your right knee is stiff and deformed, and the skin is dull. This is the reaction caused by joint swelling and tingling. It can be identified as phlegm and blood stasis. I will prepare a bowl of decoction for you to drink quickly, and try to drink another bowl at six in the morning."

"Okay, no problem, I've been wanting to drink this for a long time!"

“Your habits are also weird.”

Jiang Ming smiled and went to the pharmacy to prepare Chinese medicine, but found that Jiang Muyan was already making a plaster for him.

"Three times the overtime pay!"

Jiang Ming rubbed her hair lovingly and went to make a soup in another pot.

"I don't want it."

Jiang Muyan pursed her lips.

"It's been a while since we stayed up late."

Sean also walked in yawning, holding the Chinese herbal medicine that Jiang Ming had just sent in the group chat.

Jiang Ming planned to treat Roy with Shuanghe Decoction, the main ingredients of which were Angelica sinensis, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Poria cocos, Peach Kernel, Safflower, and Rehmannia glutinosa.

The Traditional Chinese Medicine Department has quite a few of these medicines. Ever since I came into contact with Zhentian Pharmaceutical, which was introduced by my father's nurse, I found that their medicinal materials are of very good quality, and I have been purchasing from this pharmaceutical company.

The next thing to do is to give Roy a one-stop package of traditional Chinese medicine that Oden had at the time overnight. For this kind of acute condition, all of them must be used!

It’s just that Roy’s leg length is obviously much easier to repair than Oden’s, because his is an acute inflammation that comes and goes quickly.

The main thing is that he can do rehabilitation exercises faster than Oden, so he can be truly treated with sports medicine therapy.

So there was nothing wrong with Jensen's treatment in essence, it was just that his sports medicine treatment was too harmful.

At 6 a.m., after giving Roy his last bowl of Chinese medicine, Jiang Ming left a message for management:

"Roy is fine now. He doesn't need to be taken to the hospital for an X-ray. But he needs to rest for about 3 days. He will definitely not be able to play in tomorrow's game. I hope to send a statement of truce to Roy."

The next day.

working days.

The three people from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department and Roy were all sleeping soundly on the beds in the infirmary, but for the Trail Blazers' top management, it was a bloody storm.

After receiving Jiang Ming's message, Larry Miller did not need to ask other team doctors for their opinions and directly asked the news department to post:

"Roy will miss the next game due to a knee injury."

Let everyone give up the idea first, and listen to Jiang Ming completely, and let him treat it well!
Originally, such a statement had to be signed by the chief team doctor, but this time, Jensen or Thomas Reese were not asked to sign and it was issued directly.

Jensen was also a "coward" who took sick leave and did not come to work. Last night was the last night he really did not sleep all night. This was considered a personal medical accident for him. No matter if he was too anxious or something, no one would listen to his reasons.

because.

From last night till now, 80% of the news about the Trail Blazers has been related to the team's medical staff.

In the case of playing against a high traffic team like the Los Angeles Lakers last night, only 20% were talking about the game?

It would be strange if that didn’t alarm Paul Allen!
After waking up early and jogging with Bill Gates, Paul Allen habitually ordered a cup of black coffee, then picked up the various newspapers specially selected by his assistant to read the news about the industries he invested in.

"The Blazers' main player is injured again! Roy collided with Kobe and left the court with a knee injury!"

Paul Allen's brows almost furrowed when he saw sports news.

What's the situation?
Why are there so many injuries in the news recently?
Besides, hadn't he previously called a potential Chinese medicine doctor and asked him to take his time? Compared to Blake and Joel, the old man must remember Roy's name very well.

Roy's injury made him very angry, and he said to his assistant in a calm voice:

"Why don't you call the Trail Blazers and ask what's going on? Didn't Dr. Jiang Ming give Roy physical therapy?"

A moment later, the assistant told Paul about the situation on the Trail Blazers side.

Including Jensen drawing blood from Roy's knee on the spot, Jiang Ming providing emergency treatment late at night and announcing Roy's suspension.
The old man who knew everything gave the order directly:

"A team is still trying to split up? Let's hand Roy over to the Chinese Medicine Department, and Jensen can step back."

"Okay boss."

Paul Allen rubbed his temple. It was actually his credit that Chief Jensen could continue to be the chief team doctor of the Trail Blazers. He did not believe in the curse of the Torn City and he had been treated by Jensen's team with quite good results, so his position was consolidated. After he took over the team, he let Jensen's team be the chief, with Thomas Reese as his assistant.

After all, big bosses in business will pay more attention to the cohesion of a team.

The main reason is that Jensen has a very good relationship with the former Trail Blazers owner Larry Weinberg, who is a real estate tycoon in the United States. With this relationship, Paul Allen has no need to suddenly move against Jensen unless he really makes a big mistake.

Jensen has indeed done nothing good in the few years since Paul Allen took over, which is why President Larry Miller has never dared to move Jensen.

And now, before Larry Miller could report, Paul Allen himself was alarmed.

As the largest shareholder, he naturally knows how to convince the public.

Well, when you get old you have to accept your age.

Paul Allen muttered to himself, and finally said to his assistant:

"I plan to go to Portland tomorrow and visit the injured players in person."

"Good boss."

Pioneer Headquarters.

Larry Miller, who received the order from his boss, did not handle everything at once, but took it slowly. First, the team announced that Jiang Ming would be Roy's attending physician, and the team doctors of other groups became auxiliary.

No one stood up to oppose, and the players were eager to raise their feet in support.

After all, they were all eyewitnesses last night and knew that Roy's knee was bleeding after being hit by Jensen, so this decision can only be said to be quick and wise.

In fact, Jiang Ming's team has already started treating Roy. In the morning, everyone saw a lot of cupping marks on Roy's back and legs, and he smelled like Chinese medicine.

However, Larry Miller put Jensen's handling on hold for a while, because he learned from Paul Allen's assistant that the old man would come to visit the team in person tomorrow, so it would be better to let the boss make the decision after he had reviewed the players' situation.

He didn't want to be the bad guy. Although the former owner Larry Weinberg sold the team, he brought dozens of wealthy people to buy VIP season tickets every year, and he himself lived in Portland.

How should Jensen be relegated to the second line? He would have to ask the boss in person tomorrow.

Only someone of Paul Allen's caliber can make the decision.

And according to Larry Miller's own opinion, he wanted to fire Jensen directly and promote Jiang Ming to the position of chief team doctor.

Look how energetic Roy is today. If not Jiang Ming, who else can be the chief?
