A month passed, and in July 1960, the highest temperature reached 40°C.
The severe drought in the north has not eased at all, and people all over the country feel like they are on a teppanyaki, grilling the front and the back until their whole body is scorched.
But the scenery at the Changping Branch of the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is unique.
All the crops are growing well, and the corn seedlings have grown to the height of a person. They are green and the wind blows like green waves, which is very beautiful.
Anyone who knows something about agriculture knows that the hospital of traditional Chinese medicine will definitely have a bumper harvest of corn and wheat this year.
Compared with the corn fields of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and the corn stalks grown by other farmers in the surrounding area, it feels as if they will be broken by a gust of wind. The leaves are all yellow-green, which is unhealthy at first glance.
Everyone at the Changping Branch of the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has a smile on their face, because everyone knows that at least they don’t have to go hungry this year.
In addition, the best thing about the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is that while people in other places have difficulty drinking water, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital has built two large bathhouses on the east side, where the land is the lowest.
In fact, a simple house is built on top of two large pools, and the spring water is diverted, and then everyone takes a bath together, of course men and women are separated.
The children even used the bathhouse as a swimming pool, playing in it all day long and refusing to go home.
All this is kept secret, and the farmers around the Ming Tombs don't know about it, thinking that the traditional Chinese medicine hospital is suffering just like them.
It’s not that people in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals are too cruel, it’s just that water is too precious these days. In order to compete for water sources, many people are killed in armed fights every year.
If the surrounding farmers knew about the mouth spring in the traditional Chinese medicine hospital, it would definitely break their brains.
They are local snakes, and these weak scholars in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital will definitely not be able to fight against them.
Of course, some people may say that the water source can be shared with surrounding farmers, or that Lin Sanqi can dig more deep wells.
But don’t forget, there are only so many underground water resources. The 1,000 acres of land in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital need to be irrigated, and hundreds of people need to drink it. There is simply no excess water for farmers.
If Lin Sanqi digs more deep water wells, once there are more wells, the pressure will be smaller, and groundwater will not be able to rise automatically like Baotu Spring.
(The Baotu Spring in Jinan stopped flowing that year, which was actually caused by excessive exploitation of surrounding groundwater)
If the spring water cannot gush, then water pumps and electricity supply are needed, but this is exactly what was difficult to do in the countryside in 1960. Electricity is also a precious resource, so even drilling a deep well is useless.
Lin Sanqi can only guarantee that there will be no shortage of water or food at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. He really can't guarantee that for others. That should be the responsibility of the government, not an individual's obligation.
What Lin Sanqi has to do is to ensure that the tuberculosis department is done well and strive to overcome tuberculosis as soon as possible. This is another kind of contribution to the country.
After a month of hard work by the engineering soldiers, and of course Lin Sanqi's contribution of supplying a large amount of cement, the new tuberculosis inpatient department was built.
Along Baihu Mountain, rows of houses were built up the mountain. A total of five rows of houses were built with a total of 200 beds. They looked very spectacular.
All the small courtyards built by the traditional Chinese medicine hospital were converted into X-ray rooms, auxiliary examination departments, and doctors' offices.
Lin Sanqi and a group of intern doctors were still cleaning, and there was the sound of cars on the temporarily built road outside.
Lin Sanqi stretched out her head and saw several large trucks and buses parked at the foot of the mountain.
20 senior doctors and 30 nurses from the two hospitals, Xiehe Hospital and Digital Hospital, got out of the car and pointed at the surrounding environment.
Don't ask how Lin Sanqi knew. He had not been notified by the DingTalk group in advance, but his intellectual temperament could not be concealed.
Along with this, tuberculosis patients were sent from major hospitals, each carrying large and small bags, and they looked like they were here to be hospitalized.
The doctors sent by Union Hospital and Digital Hospital this time all have experience of studying abroad, all of them can speak foreign languages, and all of them are top medical talents of this era.
Dismissal and dismissal of employees is a major national policy that every unit must implement, but there are considerations in who to dismiss.
The repatriated employees of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital were first of all academic authorities such as the 12 old men, and secondly, the group of people who were not originally from Peiping, that is, outsiders were sent away first.
However, the situation of Xiehe and Digital Hospital is quite special. When they dismiss their employees, their first choice is those who have studied abroad or have worked in foreign missionary hospitals, and then outsiders.
So these two groups of top doctors in traditional Chinese and Western medicine have all fallen into the hands of Lin Sanqi. How could Lin Sanqi not be happy?
There is a kind of generosity that makes all the heroes in the world fall into my lap.
In 1960, it was true that people with food could do whatever they wanted...
Director Tu of Union Hospital and Director Liu of Digital Hospital led several doctors over and introduced them personally:
"Xiao Lin, I can leave these people to you. Come on, everyone, be quiet. This is Comrade Lin Sanqi, director of the Tuberculosis Department of the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and your direct leader in the future.
Although Comrade Lin Sanqi is young, he comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine. The tuberculosis treatment in the traditional Chinese medicine hospital was invented by Comrade Lin Sanqi. At the same time, he also works in a digital hospital and his medical level is very good. ”
The doctors at Union Hospital did not show contempt or indifference. It was obvious that they had done psychological training before.
Lin Sanqi shook hands with them one by one and smiled cordially: "Welcome to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital."
A middle-aged man smiled and shook hands and introduced himself: "Bi Xinglong, after all, he studied at Oxford University Medical School."
Lin Sanqi was shocked, thinking that this diploma was not only top-notch in the country, but also top-notch in the world.
Another middle-aged man introduced himself: "Hello, Director Lin, my name is Cai Chunhua, and I graduated from Heidelberg University."
Lin Sanqi thought to herself, another great person, and quickly shook hands: "Welcome, welcome."
The next middle-aged doctor stretched out his hand: "Director Lin, my name is Ma Zhongli, and I graduated from Harvard Medical School."
"Welcome welcome!"
Lin Sanqi was a little numb with surprise at this time, wondering if the doctors from Union Medical College were so awesome? Just pick a few who graduated from the top medical schools in the world.
This was in the bizarre 1960s, but in 2023, Lin Sanqi, an intern doctor, existed like a mountain standing tall.
During academic conferences, others would sit on the main stage, but I was one of those newbies who sat in the corner and secretly ate tea break cakes.
As a result, the situation has now changed, and he has become their department director and their superior physician. This is really contrary to Tiangang.
After the 10 doctors on the Concorde side finished introducing themselves, the doctors and nurses on the Digital Hospital side were even more straightforward.
When Lin Sanqi walked over, 10 doctors and 15 nurses stood at attention, saluted, and shouted in unison:
"Hello, Chief!"
Lin Sanqi has a military rank, originally one bar and one star, but since he sold 10 750 mAh X-ray machines to Digital Hospital at cost price, his military rank has been upgraded three levels in a row, directly to two bars and one star. star.
The reason why Dean Liu, or the superior department, is so generous is of course the hope that Lin Sanqi can get more advanced equipment and medicines in the future...
Ordinary doctors and nurses in the digital hospital are civilian staff and do not have military ranks before they are promoted to work. Therefore, when facing Lin Sanqi, they can barely say "Hello, Chief".
Of course, this is also the "conspiracy" of Dean Liu Shengli.
People call you chief, and you are also Lin Sanqi's righteous direct subordinate. Can't you take good care of him in the future? Can these "foreign households" suffer a loss?
Lin Sanqi was startled and quickly returned a standard military salute before shaking hands with everyone with a smile.
Then I learned that the doctors at the Digital Hospital also came from well-known families and all had experience studying abroad. For example, the leading doctor Yang Guang graduated from Stanford University School of Medicine...
Lin Sanqi looked at these senior doctors in front of him and thought that if he had cut off their beards in advance, these people would have to go back to their hometowns or go to the vast countryside to treat crops. That would be an unspeakable pity.
Dean Shen also smiled when he saw this group of talents arriving, and gestured: "Go up and say a few words to stabilize the morale of the army."
Lin Sanqi was not modest either. He stood on the steps and shouted loudly:
"I have just met you all, and I am very shocked. Whether you are doctors or fellow nurses, you are all talents that our tuberculosis department urgently needs, and you are also the pillars of our country's future medical career.
The above are my kind words, and they are also my sincere words. I know that you must have been hesitant when you first came to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. I also know that you also studied hard in the past and wanted to repay the motherland before returning to China. In the end, you were wronged. What I want to tell you is that this is over. When you arrive at our Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, under the leadership of our President Shen, I can only ask you, first, that you will not be wronged again; second, that you will not be hungry again.
Third, and most importantly, when you studied medicine, you must have wanted to use the medical knowledge you learned to repay the motherland. Now is the time for you to realize your ideal. It just so happens that I am currently working on the subject of tuberculosis.
This is currently the number one killer of diseases in the world. If we overcome the problem of tuberculosis, then everyone here will win glory for the country, make their own contribution to the cause of human medicine, and leave their own names.
In the future, we will not only conquer tuberculosis, but there are also many infectious diseases in our country or on our planet. We must conquer them one by one. I believe that our team will definitely become the best and greatest medical team in the world. ”
There was sparse applause. The doctors and nurses who have not experienced social torture are still a little arrogant. If you Lin Sanqi were not the one who made the big cake, they would just accept it.
Lin Sanqi also knew that if she wanted to take in a younger brother, she had to be practical.
"In addition, when you come to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, we are a family. Since we are a family, I can assure you here that although you have temporarily lost your establishment, all your benefits will remain unchanged.
Your wages will be paid as usual, and our traditional Chinese medicine hospital will be responsible for your food supply; your family members can participate in farm labor and receive a food subsidy, and your children can also attend schools in Changping County. ”
Lin Sanqi's personal promise made many people breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as their pay remains unchanged and they have food to eat, they can tolerate other harsh conditions.
At this time, Yang Guang, a doctor at the former Digital Hospital, raised his hand and asked:
"Director Lin, we heard before we came here that you have invented a secret recipe for tuberculosis that can completely kill tuberculosis bacilli. Is this true?"
Lin Sanqi thought to herself that the questions asked by this man from science and engineering were all so straight. If there were another leader, he would not know how to offend people.
Dr. Bi Xinglong, formerly of Union Hospital, also has doubts:
"Director Lin, as far as I know, several drugs have been invented abroad. It is said that the cure rate can reach 4 or 50%, but the slogan you promote here is to cure 100%. It's not that I don't believe in traditional Chinese medicine. In fact, traditional Chinese medicine can Curing tuberculosis is really incredible. ”
Lin Sanqi thought to herself, you clearly don’t believe in Chinese medicine.
But it's no wonder that if it were Lin Sanqi himself, a doctor from a traditional Chinese medicine hospital suddenly said that his secret recipe could completely cure AIDS. He also refused to believe it.
Western medicine is all about evidence. What medicine do you use, what are its specific ingredients, and from what angle can it kill tuberculosis bacteria? This all needs to be made clear.
You, Lin Sanqi, can't explain it clearly. It's hard for these foreign doctors at the Union Digital Hospital to trust you just by using a fantasy theory of yin and yang, five elements, and the five internal organs.
Lin Sanqi knew that in order to "subdue" this group of science and engineering men, he had to show his trump card.
"Dean Shen, the patients have been arriving one after another. How about you let these 30 nurse sisters go to work first and settle the patients. As for me, I will give a lecture to these 20 doctors first."
Lin Sanqi was going to talk about Western medicine knowledge for a while. He was afraid that Dean Shen and other old Chinese medicine doctors would be angry after hearing this, so it was best to send them away quickly.
Dean Shen nodded, then smiled and said to the nurses:
"Now we have 200 beds, which are temporarily divided into four wards. Each ward is assigned 7 nurses, and each ward elects a head nurse. In addition, a nursing department is established, and a director of the nursing department and a deputy are elected. Director. Now everyone, follow me to the conference room. After arranging the personnel, we are ready to place the patients.”
After the nurses left, Lin Sanqi asked Zhou Wenliang to close the door, and then said politely:
"Come on, come on, our conditions are difficult, please find a stool to sit on. I know you have questions, so I will simply talk about my tuberculosis treatment plan."
20 senior doctors, 7 university interns, and 24 students working as part-time workers filled the courtyard.
Especially the 20 new doctors. They have overseas backgrounds and work experience in top hospitals. In addition, they are very conceited geniuses. They also want to hear how Lin Sanqi treats tuberculosis.
If a vote of confidence could be given now, I believe all 20 doctors on site would vote "no confidence."
If they didn't have to bow their heads under the eaves, and if they didn't come to the Changping Branch of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, they would have to go back to their hometown to farm, they wouldn't be willing to come here.
"Now that there are no outsiders, let's open the skylight and speak out. At present, the main treatment for tuberculosis in foreign countries is isoniazid + streptomycin, right?"
The doctors at Xiehe and Digital Hospital all nodded slightly, thinking that it was okay, what they were talking about was not the art of yin and yang.
"Among them, isoniazid is an anti-tuberculosis drug launched by Roche in 1952. The trade name is Isoniazid. This drug can inhibit the synthesis of mycolic acid components in the wall of tuberculosis bacteria, thereby causing the tuberculosis bacteria to lose multiple abilities and die. , to achieve sterilization effect.
Streptomycin, called streptomycin in English, is an aminoglycoside antibiotic.
This drug can bind to the ribonucleoprotein protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis cells and interfere with the protein synthesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, thereby killing or inhibiting the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Therefore, foreign countries currently use the model of isoniazid + streptomycin to kill tuberculosis bacilli. Do you think I am right? ”
Yang Guang, Bi Xinglong, Cai Chunhua and other 20 doctors all sat upright at this time, because the knowledge Lin Sanqi taught was standard Western medicine theory.
Even the pharmacological methods used to treat tuberculosis were clearly explained, which made Yang Guang and others suddenly realize that they had met a "fellow colleague".
As soon as the colleagues took action, they would know if there was any. Lin Sanqi calmed down these arrogant overseas doctors with a few words.
Bi Xinglong raised his hand and asked:
"Director Lin, since you are a Western medicine practitioner who has sneaked into a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, I have something to say directly."
As soon as Bi Xinglong said these words, everyone in the courtyard burst into laughter, especially the intern doctors Pan Ye, Zhou Wenliang, and Zhu Xiaoxia. They had long known that Lin Sanqi was a traitor to traditional Chinese medicine.
Lin Sanqi also laughed,
"This is the right thing. Everyone should relax and don't be as serious as just now. Pan Ye, Zhu Xiaoxia, Fan Mei, Yu Guoying, you guys go and take out the melon seeds and peanut cakes, and then make tea for everyone.
Zhu Guoping, Zhou Wenliang, Fan Zili, you guys go take out the watermelon, cut it and share it with us. Today we are a family behind closed doors, and we will fight together in the future. Let’s all relax and chat while eating. . ”
As soon as these words came out, Yang Guang, Bi Xinglong and other 20 overseas doctors were shocked again.
When people all over the country are hungry, how can a traditional Chinese medicine hospital still hold a "tea party"?
Such pastries and fruits brought out from the house are delicacies that ordinary people cannot even eat during the New Year. But they can be eaten casually in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital?
Then there was a question in everyone's mind: How can Chinese medicine make so much money?
At the same time, another thought arose in the minds of these doctors. It seemed that they had made the right move to work in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. At least they would not have to worry about food.
Soon, watermelons, pastries, melon seeds, peanuts, and tea were all placed, which was exactly the same as the coffee break at academic conferences in later generations.
At first, the 20 doctors were a little reserved, but soon, the long-term hunger and desire for food made them slowly let go, and then they started eating quickly.
This man had two pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake stuffed in his mouth, and he choked straight up to his neck.
The man gnawed on the watermelon like a stormtrooper, bit by bit in the blink of an eye.
Another foreign doctor was throwing peanuts into his mouth at this time. When he chewed the peanuts, the powder and peanut shells would spurt out at any time.
Lin Sanqi's mouth twitched when she saw these starving ghosts, and then waved to Pan Ye:
"Xiao Yezi, hurry up and replenish some pastries and fruits. How long have Xiehe Digital Hospital been hungry?"
Pan Ye was a little worried: "Sanqi, you have already taken out 20 kilograms of Daoxiangcun osmanthus cakes and 10 large watermelons. If you take them out again, it will cost a lot of money, and Dean Shen will not reimburse you for this money."< br>
Lin Sanqi thought to herself that she was such a dedicated little housekeeper, so she said softly:
"It's okay. I don't need this little money. As long as we win over these foreign doctors, they will be of great use to us and can also create more money for me. So don't worry, take it out and I will add more later."
Pan Ye's advantage is that she is obedient. She is not like a strong woman in the workplace like Yin Lianyi, or a bit of a female fighter, who usually does whatever her boyfriend says.
"Okay..."
After a long time, these new overseas doctors had eaten their fill of snacks, and many of them were eating their fill. Only then did a few of them laugh and officially began to integrate into Lin Sanqi's team.
It was Bi Xinglong again. He started grabbing food in the middle of his words. Now that he was full of wine and food, he continued to ask questions.
"Director Lin, isoniazid + streptomycin is currently the most advanced anti-tuberculosis drug in the world, which is internationally recognized. If you have a better treatment method, does that mean you have your own original drug?"
Lin Sanqi snapped her fingers and said proudly:
"The answer is correct. I have indeed invented several new drugs, one of which is called rifampicin and the other is called ethambutol. These two drugs have now applied for global patents in Hong Kong."
"Rifampicin? Ethambutol?"
Lin Sanqi signaled, and Pan Ye distributed the information about these two drugs to the first person present. This was the first time that Lin Sanqi disclosed two new drugs.
Facing his colleagues in Western medicine, he no longer had anything to hide. (End of chapter)
