Chapter 901: Embrace technology and leverage its strengths to avoid its weaknesses
"Old Lu, here, eat a little!"
On the flower bed at the entrance of the imaging building, Dr. Qian came over with a lunch box and handed it to Lu Dingkun. Seeing that Lu Dingkun didn't want to take it, he simply stuffed it into his arms and said, "Eat a little. You don't know what time you have to wait tonight. How can you eat without energy?"
As he spoke, he went to sit on a flower bed beside him.
Seeing that several colleagues from the Health Bureau sitting around him all had worried faces, he felt a little annoyed, so he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and smoked it in annoyance.
Lu Dingkun sighed, opened the lunch box, took out the steamed bun from inside, took a bite, dipped it in the chili sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"I know what you are worried about. Elder Yu will definitely be fine! Don't worry too much. Given the current situation, the hard conditions are there. The leader won't say anything!"
There are many experts in the Health Bureau, and the doctors and nurses are all skilled. However, taking Mr. Yu's illness as an example, the cause of his illness could not be discovered immediately, mainly because the bureau did not have advanced medical equipment such as CT imaging machines.
There is nothing we can do about this.
A CT machine costs tens of thousands of dollars, which is too expensive.
The Health Bureau certainly can't afford it.
The reality is here.
"Old Lu! After we go back this time, we have to hold a training meeting. Next time we encounter a patient whose cause of illness cannot be determined within two hours, we should directly request a transfer to another hospital. We must not delay their treatment!"
Doctor Qian finished his cigarette and spoke out what was on his mind.
Lu Dingkun swallowed two steamed buns in a hurry, pondering his words, and did not respond immediately.
"Yes, Old Lu, it doesn't matter if others say that our medical skills are not good. You have to know what we do. We treat old cadres! Saving people is the most important thing. This reputation... is better off not having it!"
Hearing this, Lu Dingkun turned and looked at the person who spoke.
Mr. Chen, an old expert in the bureau.
This is what he was waiting for.
"Do you have the same idea?" He turned his head and looked at the three or four people around him and asked.
"Yes, Old Lu, now I understand. The more the times develop, the more Chinese medicine is surpassed by Western medicine! In Mr. Yu's case, if he relies on Chinese medicine to treat the disease, I don't know how long it will take!"
"Yes, Old Lu and Little Li have explained it to us clearly! Old Yu wants to perform a craniotomy, which is a very difficult operation in traditional Chinese medicine! It cannot be done without the intervention of Western medicine!"
"The most important thing is that medical equipment such as CT machines have greatly improved our efficiency in treating diseases and saving lives! I think we cannot abandon the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine, but we must also face up to the benefits of Western medicine in terms of speed and efficiency!"
"Yes, without a CT machine, we can't find the cause of Mr. Yu's illness! After we go back, we must summarize, learn lessons, and guide our future medical practice! Don't be shackled by reality, embrace technology, and play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses!"
Hearing the experts around him speaking out their thoughts, Lu Dingkun also said with emotion: "You are right. We can only make progress if we learn from our mistakes! I will write a report when I go back and suggest that the leaders should turn this Nianwei Hospital into a friendly and mutually supportive hospital with the Health Bureau. In the future, if our leaders are unable to diagnose some diseases, they should contact us immediately to take a CT scan to check the specific cause of the disease!"
After he finished speaking, he stood up and said helplessly: "Luckily I know Xiao Li, and I have this person here! He also has the corresponding medical technology, otherwise... the official hats on our heads would all fall off!"
Several people stood up and looked at each other, without commenting on what Lu Dingkun said.
"Have you eaten the ones from the Yu family and the Song family?" Lu Dingkun pulled Doctor Qian aside and asked.
"Yes, I ate it!" Doctor Qian turned his head and glanced at the back of the hall, and said admiringly: "To be honest, I didn't understand how the Yu family and the Song family had such a strong foundation before, but now I understand! Many families in the world don't have such cohesion. Besides, what kind of family is the Yu family? They eat these steamed buns just like us! They are fully capable of eating better!"
Lu Dingkun smiled and said, "Eating and drinking are not what people pursue! Let's go in!"
Several people entered the corridor one after another.
I saw that people from the Yu family and the Song family were all having their dinner.
What we eat is just ordinary steamed buns and home-cooked meals.
Even the lunch boxes of Yu Dongting, Song Yingxin and Song Cijiu contained only two or three steamed buns and one or two vegetarian dishes. Nothing more. There was nothing luxurious or exquisite about it. They were all purchased by Principal Yan in the cafeteria. They kept it as simple as possible.
Such a family has taken hardship and simplicity to the extreme.
The family education of Mr. Yu and Mr. Song is really extraordinary.
"Xiao Lu, have you eaten?"
When Yu Jingran saw Lu Dingkun and others coming in, he waved to them.
"Madam, I've eaten. I'm full!" Lu Dingkun walked over quickly and nodded in response.
"It's nothing anyway. Xiangnan and the others are taking care of them. You guys can go back first!" Yu Jingran comforted.
"It's okay, old lady. We'll just wait here. We won't be able to sleep if we go back!"
Lu Dingkun shook his head and stood there with his hands behind his back.
When he came over, he saw Director Dou and Secretary Yu from the Veteran Cadre Bureau still hiding nearby. They hadn't left yet, so how could he have the nerve to lead his people back?
pat!
As we were talking, we heard a noise and the lights in the operating room went out.
Everyone in the corridor stood up from their benches.
Lu Dingkun glanced at his watch and it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
Since I brought Mr. Yu here in the afternoon, seven hours have passed without me noticing!
This operation lasted nearly six hours, so you can imagine how hard it was for doctors like Li Xiangnan!
Not to mention anything else, even Lu Dingkun and the others were tired of waiting outside.
"Xiangnan! How is my uncle?"
After Li Xiangnan came out, Song Yi, who was closest to him, quickly asked.
Only then did everyone realize that there was white smoke rising from Li Xiangnan's forehead, his cheeks were covered in sweat, and even the green sterile suit was wet and sticky to his body. For a moment, many people felt very distressed.
"He's awake!"
Li Xiangnan said softly, and saw Song Yi take a step back, close her eyes slightly, and touch her chest.
Small exclamations of excitement could be heard throughout the corridor.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiangnan!" Yu Jingran cried with joy and pursed his lips to give him a smile.
"As I should!" Li Xiangnan nodded and looked at his watch. "Mr. Yu has been resting in there for an hour and just opened his eyes!"
As he spoke, he looked at Yu Dongting and nodded, "Uncle Yu, Old Yu wants to see you!"
The old man can still recognize people!
This is simply the best news!
The entire corridor cheered instantly.
But they quickly restrained themselves after a second or two, leaving only the excited movement of covering their mouths.
"Okay!" Yu Dongting nodded excitedly and said, "Aunt, I'll go in first!"
"Okay, go see your father! Talk to him!" Yu Jingran said with relief.
"Let's go!" Li Xiangnan led Yu Dongting into the operating room.
"father!"
Seeing that his father was really pulled back from the brink of death by Li Xiangnan, how could Yu Dongting not be excited? He rushed over impatiently as soon as he entered the door.
"son……"
Yu Haoran heard the noise and opened his eyes to look.
But the next sentence made people feel cold all over.
"Who are you……"
"..."
Hearing this, not only did Yu Dongting freeze completely, but even Li Xiangnan's heart instantly fell into an ice cellar...
