I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 437 - 181: The Ugly Side of Human Nature

When Fan Qiyun went out, Zhou Qihua suddenly looked at Ma Xiaoyi.

"Old Ma, the patient’s condition is very serious, the likelihood of successful surgery is low, let’s find outside help."

Zhou Qihua also knew about Fan Qiyun’s situation, but to watch the patient’s life slip away before his eyes, to be honest, he couldn’t do it either.

Not only could he not do it, Ma Xiaoyi probably couldn’t either.

As doctors, often there is no way to bring personal emotions into the hospital, onto their work positions.

"Who to find?"

"In this situation, neither you nor I can do anything, who else can save them?" Ma Xiaoyi spread his hands.

As the head of the Respiratory Section, Ma Xiaoyi was very aware of the patient’s current condition, to put it bluntly, if anything goes wrong, the person might just be gone.

And he and Zhou Qihua are both specialists in their respective fields, looking at the medical community in Yong City, there really isn’t anyone who can surpass this combination in this regard.

Things they can’t handle, can anyone else?

Finding outside help would mean finding experts from the province.

But the patient’s condition is clearly not going to last long, at any time could have a cardiac arrest or even brain death, simply no time to get a doctor from the province.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qihua knew Ma Xiaoyi definitely didn’t understand what he meant, so he explained: "Old Ma, I know what you’re thinking, indeed, it’s a bit difficult to find a combination in the Yong City medical community stronger than us two, maybe even impossible, but there is someone who might just be possible."

"Who?" Ma Xiaoyi asked instinctively.

"You know about that person, right?"

Ma Xiaoyi thought for a moment and said, "Are you talking about the one admitted for a heart attack a few days ago?"

"Right."

"The situation then was similar to now, Old Zheng tried everything to no avail, and it was ultimately by inviting Dr. Lu that the tide was turned, and the person’s life was saved under Dr. Lu’s treatment."

Zhou Qihua said seriously: "At that time, the situation was also extremely urgent, one misstep might have been fatal, although Dr. Lu is a Chinese medicine doctor, he is indeed unique in terms of emergency treatment, and he is skilled in emergency care, this was vouched by Elder Huang, who was the head of our City First Hospital. Inviting him over might give the patient a fighting chance. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Sometimes, Chinese medicine in emergency care might be more effective than Western medicine.

Moreover, if we hastily proceed with surgery, it might only accelerate his death."

When did Chinese medicine get associated with emergency treatment?

Ma Xiaoyi found it unbelievable at once, he had heard about the rescue of Ji Huan at City First Hospital before, but the head had ordered the hospital not to privately discuss the person’s situation, so nobody said much, and who saved Ji Huan, or how he was saved, he didn’t know much about. Moreover, he wasn’t particularly curious and was too lazy to ask, so naturally, he didn’t know it was a Chinese medicine doctor who saved Ji Huan.

Upon hearing Zhou Qihua’s words at this moment, Ma Xiaoyi felt both surprised and somewhat unbelievable, and while he had doubts about Zhou Qihua’s words, he also thought, Zhou Qihua wouldn’t lie to him about such things.

After all, Ji Huan’s case was there for everyone to see, he couldn’t help but believe it.

"If that’s the case, then let’s get outside help, but this has to be clearly communicated with the patient’s family, the expert fee still has to be paid." Ma Xiaoyi thought and said.

"How much to give?"

"Pay according to the expert fee."

"Dr. Lu’s situation is a bit special, he only started working today and isn’t even a chief TCM doctor yet. If we directly give the expert fee, I worry the patient’s family might have objections." Zhou Qihua expressed his concern.

"Just started working?"

Ma Xiaoyi opened his mouth: "How old is this Dr. Lu you’re talking about?"

"Twenty-five or six?"

Zhou Qihua guessed: "Should be around that age, anyway, definitely not over twenty-seven."

"Not even twenty-seven, and he has such great skills in the field of Chinese medicine, even Elder Huang feels inferior? He must have started learning Chinese medicine while still in the womb, otherwise, how could he have such skills? In Western medicine, truly famous ones must be thirty-five or six, not to mention it’s inherently difficult to train in Chinese medicine, perhaps after graduation, not without ten or eight years before they can fully master it." Hearing Zhou Qihua’s words, Ma Xiaoyi was also amazed.

"You’re talking about ordinary people, you can’t compare a prodigy with ordinary people, there’s no comparison between the two."

"That’s true as well."

Ma Xiaoyi said: "Though Dr. Lu is indeed young, he genuinely has real skills, and he saved that person after all, so it makes sense to pay according to expert standards.

But whether to invite him or not still depends on the family’s opinion, no matter what we say, if the patient’s family doesn’t agree, it’s all for nothing."

Zhou Qihua nodded: "Alright, you keep an eye here, I’ll go discuss with the patient’s family, if all goes as expected, it should be doable."

"Before you go, make a call to Dr. Lu, let him come over first, otherwise by the time you’re done negotiating, the person might be gone."

Zhou Qihua nodded slightly and dialed Lu Xuan’s phone as he left the emergency room.

At this moment, Lu Xuan and Ji Xiuwen had already left the Health Center, and since they bought groceries yesterday, they didn’t plan to deal with it at the restaurant at the entrance, and directly headed up to the apartment.

"What to eat tonight?"

"Whatever, make whatever you bought yesterday for tonight, two grown men can just eat anything."
