Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 726 Director Fang takes office, and after treating overseas Chinese businessmen, another important patient from China comes

After the ceremony here, the hospital documents were posted on the bulletin boards of each department.

He Huiru, who works in the gynecology department, and Zhu Lin, who works in the rehabilitation department, became the focus of the department because of Fangyan's news.

Honorary department director, this is a position that has never existed in Union Hospital before.

It's like something that was created specifically for dialects.

Not only that, the notice board also stated that the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department would still be directly under the leadership of the dean, and no formal department director would be appointed.

Although it is not explicitly stated, that position is reserved for dialects.

But everyone knows what happened.

Such big news came out on the first day of official construction, and everyone was discussing it.

However, they were not discussing the dialect or whether he was qualified for the position, but the deeper meaning behind the hospital leaders' actions.

Obviously, this is a long-term investment in dialects.

This action indicates that this person is likely to be the leading figure of the Peking Union Medical College’s Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine in five years. After he has gained enough experience, he will most likely serve as vice president or president.

Some people even speculated that Union Medical College might directly split into two hospitals, one for Western medicine and one for traditional Chinese medicine.

As the core characters of the topic, the mother and wife were of course the focus of everyone's inquiries and probing.

Everyone wanted to know some useful information from them so that they could judge Fangyan’s next plan.

While they were still gossiping, Fangyan started his consultation today.

I officially went to work on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year and just finished visiting the overseas Chinese businessmen. Today, all the guests arranged are cadres from relevant units or their families.

Nowadays, dialects are very popular among overseas Chinese businessmen and are also very important in the eyes of leading cadres.

He specializes in providing medical treatment to overseas Chinese businessmen, has a 100% cure rate, and was the top scorer in the college entrance examination. These different elements combined together made him a representative of high-end traditional Chinese medicine in the eyes of everyone.

As long as you can get a number here, it seems to be something to show off enough.

It also means that no matter what the problem is, dialects can provide corresponding treatment plans.

So when Fang Yan was treating the overseas Chinese businessman these days, many people came to the dean and asked him to arrange for them to see the doctor as soon as the overseas Chinese businessman finished his treatment.

There were quite a few people looking for them, and it was difficult for the dean to arrange them. In the end, he summarized the situation and sorted them out according to priority.

The reason why they are not sorted by relationship size is mainly because of the bad impact.
Overseas Chinese businessmen can line up according to their contributions, but if they continue to do so internally, it will lack the human touch.

So it should be arranged according to the condition of the disease.

For example, the few who came today are all in a hurry.

These are all difficult and complicated cases that have been screened out by the dean.

After Fangyan arrived at the outpatient department, Zhang Yanchang and Yang Jingxiang started to get busy.

After announcing Fang Yan's promotion, the dean came to the department in person and told them that these people needed to be hospitalized today.

And some of them are leading cadres.

So they did not dare to be negligent today. After arriving at the department with Fang Yan, they started to clean up the scene, trying to leave the best impression on the leaders who came to see the patients.

After all, today is Brother Fang’s first day in office.

Cleaning up the scene is the best that these little brothers can do.

The nurse at the door pushed the door open and said to Fang Yan:

"Director Fang, the people have arrived."

Fang Yan was still not used to the title of director. He was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he said:
"Okay, all of you get ready."

"I'll finish my examination here, and you guys will prepare to send the patient to the inpatient building."

"Okay!" The nurse nodded in agreement.

The people here today were all transferred from other hospitals.

Some people are said to still be on IV drip.

Some were in wheelchairs.

So today Fangyan did not do the same as usual. He only left an assistant by his side and asked the patient to go and arrange for hospitalization after seeing the doctor.

Instead, nurses are arranged here, and after the patients are finished seeing the doctor, they are sent directly to the inpatient building.

What matters is a one-stop service.

At this time, Lao Fan also came in with a kettle.

He is now a Chinese medicine therapist. His dialect acupuncture skills are the best in the department, and Lao Fan is second only to him.

Taoist acupuncture still has some value when used by him.

So he is different from others, he is the kind of person who is fine after finishing his work.

So most of the time, it is the "third" assistant of the dialect.

To a certain extent, his joining successfully brought Fangyan back to the configuration of three assistants in Tongrentang.

He poured tea for Fangyan, and then he stood behind Fangyan like Zhang Yanchang and Yang Jingxiang.

Then someone came to the door.

A man in his sixties, wearing a cadre Zhongshan suit, walked in. Following him was a man in his thirties who looked like a secretary.

As soon as the man came in, he greeted the speaker in dialect:
"Hello, Doctor Fang! Let me introduce myself. My last name is Gao!"

Fang Yan said to him:
"Hello, Comrade Gao. Please take a seat."

The man didn't hesitate and walked straight to the chair in front of the dialect diagnosis desk and sat down.

However, after sitting down, his hands involuntarily covered his stomach, and then he showed a somewhat painful expression.

"Secretary Gao, are you okay?" The secretary-like man next to him immediately asked with concern.

Secretary Gao waved his hand and said:
"It's okay, it's okay, ugh..."

He retched halfway through his sentence.

Seeing this, the three people behind Fangyan immediately took action.

Some people took the trash can, and some people poured hot water.

Some people also brought tissues.

Secretary Gao took the trash can, retched twice, and then spat out a mouthful of yellow water.

After holding his stomach for a while, he spoke to Fang Yan:

"I'm sorry, Doctor Fang."

The dialect said:

"It's okay, can you tell me what exactly happened?"

The patient took the tissue handed to him and wiped his mouth, then said to Fang Yan:

"I am 40 years old, and this is an old problem. It started about years ago when I was in the army. One day, I started to have pain in my stomach. Often when I ate a little more or was hungry, my stomach would hurt, and I would also have belching, a foul smell, and acid in my mouth. I was young at the time, and my conditions were limited, so I didn't care about it."

"Twenty years ago, I drank with my comrades, but I drank too much. The hospital said it was an overdrinking, and I had a severe gastric bleeding at that time."

"I remember clearly that the amount of blood was about a bowl, and the color of the blood was dark red."

As he spoke, he gestured to Fangyan to show the size.

After that, he paused, pinched his chest to relax, and said:

"I was sent to the hospital for treatment and my body gradually recovered after a week."

"I didn't dare drink much afterwards, mainly because other people didn't dare drink with me after they knew about it, for fear that I would drink myself out of it. But the root of the disease remained. I had belching, foul smell, acid in the mouth, and stomach pain all the time. I had to take medicine for a long time."

"In the past seven years, due to work reasons, I often have trouble eating and cannot eat on time. I often take medicine to adjust, but the symptoms of stomach pain have become more severe, and later I even vomited."

"Then it slowly developed into a situation where I had no appetite and didn't want to eat."

"During this period, I have seen doctors and taken a variety of Chinese and Western medicines, but the treatment effects are not obvious. Anyway, there is no cure. I can only control the symptoms."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and then continued:

"But I don't have high demands. As long as it doesn't interfere with my work, that's enough. So I just make do with it."

"I really didn't expect the result. At the end of 1977, my condition worsened. I felt very bad mentally, weak and tired in my limbs."

"The pain in the stomach area became more severe and a mass about 3cm by 4cm in size could be felt in the upper abdomen."

"I was getting thinner day by day, and my weight was dropping rapidly. I was a skinny person to begin with, and I knew this was not going to work. I had no choice but to go to a big hospital for treatment. After I went to the hospital, I had two X-rays. The results came out that afternoon. Their diagnosis was... By the way, what was Xiao Li? Did you bring the diagnosis report with you?"

Having said this, she turned around and asked the secretary beside her.

The secretary took out the report from his file bag and said:

"It's ulcerative gastric cancer."

Hearing this, the faces of the people behind Fangyan turned dark.

Stomach cancer!

When they heard each other recalling what happened forty years ago, they already had a bad feeling.

Now that the patients have spoken out about their diagnosis, they know that the first one today is a heavyweight.

This is to help Brother Fang strengthen his strength.

They have been treating patients according to Fangyan's diagnosis for a long time and have never encountered a cancer patient.

Although there is no concept of "cancer" in traditional Chinese medicine, they are aware of its famous name in Western medicine.

Once the disease is confirmed, there are basically few cures.

Only Fangyan remained calm. He just frowned slightly and then said to the patient:
"You continue."

The patient saw that Fangyan’s complexion was relatively normal and he smiled a little more.

He said to the dialect:

"The hospital said that I had to undergo surgery immediately. At the time, I was thinking, if I cut it off, wouldn't that be the end of it?"

"Later, I asked someone about the success rate of the surgery. After knowing that, I was no longer willing to undergo the surgery."

"I had heard about you at the time, and I also knew that you were very good at treating illnesses. You cured all the illnesses that foreigners couldn't treat. I also knew that in traditional Chinese medicine, people wouldn't be cut open to remove anything, so I made a special effort to find a connection and asked you to come here for diagnosis and treatment."
