Doctor Zhao, help!

Chapter 12: Doing More with Less
At the same time, in the clinic.

"Why are all these children in the emergency department? What about the pediatricians?"

Zhao Sheng asked Song Wei with some confusion.

The First Affiliated Hospital is a top tertiary hospital, and the triage of patients is already very professional and meticulous.

Under normal circumstances, as long as it is a child, he will go to the pediatric emergency department.

"Dr. Zhao, the pediatric department can hardly survive now. Just two days ago, Li Yang left."

When Zhao Sheng asked, Song Wei sighed and said.

"Huh? Li Yang is gone? I remember he has been working in pediatrics for more than ten years!"

Zhao Sheng was a little surprised when he suddenly heard the news. After all, Li Yang is the absolute main doctor in pediatrics, and can be said to be the mainstay of pediatrics. Not only is he highly skilled, but his work attitude is also excellent.

"There are not many pediatricians who can put on a ventilator, do bronchoscopy, do plasma exchange, and do ECMO."

After a pause, Zhao Sheng said with some regret.

"Li Yang has no choice. He only has a bachelor's degree. In a teaching hospital like ours, he cannot be promoted to a professional title with his academic qualifications."

Song Wei also said with some regret that Li Yang was a very good pediatrician. Sometimes her relatives' children were sick and when they came to her, she would take them directly to Li Yang.

Because Li Yang not only has high medical skills, but also has a good attitude.

In a hospital, there is a "gold standard" to evaluate which doctor in a department has the most superb medical skills, which is to know who the hospital staff go to for medical treatment.

Sometimes, the best surgeon in a department may not be the director or deputy director, but may be an attending physician who has not been promoted for many years.

And such a doctor, because he only has a bachelor's degree, has no hope of promotion in the First Affiliated Hospital. If his professional title cannot be promoted, there is no way to increase his salary. He earns the lowest salary of more than 6000 yuan a month in a big city like Zhongdu. , it is difficult to support a family.

"If Li Yang leaves, the pediatric department will be really in trouble."

Zhao Sheng said.

In the hospital, anyone who cares about pediatrics knows that Li Yang is responsible for at least half of the pediatric emergency work.

It is no exaggeration to say that with Li Yang gone, the Department of Pediatrics will need to find at least two people to cope with Li Yang's workload.

Pediatrics has now become a sinkhole for medical students to find employment.

For example, as the first affiliated hospital of a top tertiary hospital, if a department wants to recruit doctors, at least five or six people will compete for a quota. However, in the case of pediatrics, for those who meet the conditions and want to come, sometimes the quota may not be filled. .

There are very few people who set pediatrics as the direction for their Ph.D.

Therefore, there is a phenomenon that the pediatric emergency department is unable to receive children and the children are diverted to general outpatient clinics.

after an hour.

The young couple held their child in their arms and returned to the clinic with the serum mycoplasma test results.

"Doctor, take a look."

The young father handed the checklist to Zhao Sheng and said.

Zhao Sheng took the examination form, looked at it carefully, and then said slowly: "It can be confirmed now that this child has a mycoplasma infection. He will be infused with fluids for three days and take oral azithromycin for a few more days." "Well, okay. , thank you doctor."

The young father nodded. Inexplicably, he had great trust in Zhao Sheng. Inexplicably, he felt that Zhao Sheng had the temperament of a great expert, that is, if he said a word, others would feel particularly trustworthy.

In fact, this is the powerful aura produced by a person after his spirit, energy, and spirit are highly unified with the inside and outside. Previously, Zhao Sheng's body was in a sub-healthy state due to emergency work. Now after awakening, his physical condition has improved. Great recovery.

Coupled with the high degree of unity between the knowledge learned and the work, as well as a very strong concentration, these combined will produce a very unique and powerful aura.

Many top people from all walks of life have such an aura. To put it simply, in fact, such people have achieved the unity of knowledge and action, implemented what they thought, and had no obstacles in their hearts.

Such a state and aura requires a lot of experience to achieve.

And Zhao Sheng, because of his awakening, can be said to have taken a shortcut.

"Then doctor, do you still need to take X-rays?"

The young father asked again.

"From the lung auscultation, there is only slight inflammation. The child is still young, so no X-rays are needed. It is not good for the physical development."

Zhao Sheng pondered for a moment and said that auscultation of the lungs can largely reflect whether there is inflammation in the lungs and the severity of the inflammation. In fact, a chest X-ray is only necessary if the inflammation is found to have spread during auscultation of the lungs.

But now many doctors no longer perform physical examinations. As long as there is cough and fever, chest X-rays or even chest CTs are the first step. This is an examination that relies too much on instruments.

Relying on instruments will have great disadvantages, especially now that artificial intelligence is developing so fast. Zhao Sheng recently saw a report that an artificial intelligence diagnosis system that integrates diagnosis and treatment has been developed. Although it is still It cannot be fully applied clinically, but it already has great reference value.

In this situation, the thinking and imagination of human beings are actually the most precious things.

"Okay, thank you doctor."

The young father thanked him again.

"Don't give your children so many different types of medicines in the future. You must know that it is very dangerous if different types of cold medicines are mixed."

Zhao Sheng asked the young father again.

Nowadays, it is very convenient to buy medicines. Various pharmacies are blooming everywhere. There are at least two to three pharmacies outside any community.

Therefore, after catching a cold, many people hope to relieve their symptoms as soon as possible, so they buy different cold medicines and mix them together. Don’t they know that most cold medicines contain antipyretic and analgesic ingredients? Once these medicines exceed a certain amount, they are harmful to Both the liver and kidneys will be damaged.

"Hey, doctor, we actually know what you said, but it's too difficult to come to the hospital to see a doctor now. If nothing else, doctor, in fact, we came here very early today, and even after queuing for two hours, we didn't get a call from the pediatrician. "

The young father sighed and said.

Next, Zhao Sheng placed the order, and the young couple went to place the order with their children in their arms.

At the charge desk in the hospital lobby, the young mother looked at the payment slip that showed three days of infusions, plus the following four days of oral medicine, which totaled just over 400 yuan. She suddenly sighed and said: "Husband, you said we would go there in the past." Other hospitals would have spent two to three thousand yuan, but this time the total cost was less than 500 yuan."

"Is it possible? I'm just saying it's possible. Normal medical treatment would only cost so much?"

The young father thought seriously for a moment and suddenly said slowly.
