March 15, 1961, 7 a.m.
Lin Sanqi stood on the platform of Daiyue Hall, looking at the nearly 200 medical staff below, feeling quite proud in her heart.
There are 70 clinicians here, and most of them have experience studying abroad. They are absolutely elite talents. In the past, other hospitals had all withdrawn due to ingredients problems, and as a result, Talin Sanqi was all cheaper.
Some of them have no experience of studying abroad, but they graduated from domestic private medical schools such as Union Medical College, West China University Medical School, Qilu University Medical School and St. John's University Medical School during the Republic of China. They are also rare talents.
Feng Ruoqi, Jia Xuezhen and other retired doctors who had just returned to the capital from the local area were all extremely excited at this time.
They thought they would be stuck in the countryside for the rest of their lives, and they never imagined that one day they would put on a white coat again.
Maybe they were not loyal to Lin Sanqi, but they definitely worked hard to avoid being driven back to the countryside again.
Lin Sanqi looked at the time and then said:
"It's almost 8 o'clock, and everyone's division of labor has been clearly defined. As the dean, I want to make a few points clear: working in an infectious disease hospital, you don't need to flatter the leader, and you don't need to worry about the storm in society.
We are all medical staff. No matter where you come from, no matter what your composition is, no matter which university you graduated from, our purpose is one, to serve the people and conquer one infectious disease after another.
The most important thing is to be loyal to the country. Our tuberculosis drugs are patented, so the imperialists will definitely find ways to get our drugs, reverse engineer them, and then produce counterfeit products. This will be a great deal for our country. loss.
Therefore, everyone must be vigilant, especially nurses, to ensure that every patient swallows it, and to check whether there is any residue in the patient's mouth afterwards.
In addition, we are an infectious disease hospital, so everyone must pay attention to personal protection. The hospital provides the latest N95 masks, which everyone needs to wear every day. If you need isolation clothing, you can ask the head nurse to protect yourself. ”
At this time Bi Xinglong ran over in a hurry:
"Dean Lin, there are too many patients outside. It's a huge crowd. What should we do?"
Dongyue Temple is very large and the gate is tightly closed. Lin Sanqi knew that there would be patients waiting outside, but he did not expect that the number of patients would be described as "a sea of people".
"So many patients?"
Lin Sanqi was puzzled as she quickly ran towards the door and ran to the bell tower to take a look. The road outside the hospital door could really be described as a sea of people.
"Oh~~~There are so many people, at least two or three thousand, right?"
Bi Xinglong made an estimate: "Not only that, it's more than five thousand, and it's still early in the morning. There should be many patients on the way."
Lin Sanqi still underestimated the power of newspapers during this period.
When Renli Daily, Xinhua Daily, Guangming Daily, Wenhui Po and other newspapers published the full text of the press release that the Capital Infectious Disease Hospital had been able to cure tuberculosis, provinces across the country also received related newspapers one after another.
Then the news radiated from the capital as the center and quickly detonated across the country.
There is no authoritative data on how many tuberculosis patients there are in the country.
During the Republic of China, more than 500 students at Tsinghua University underwent centralized chest X-ray examinations. The prevalence of tuberculosis among the subjects was 3%.
Later, the Tuberculosis Clinic of Peking No. 1 Health Office conducted collective chest examinations on 4,367 students from Peking University and Fu Jen University. The prevalence rate of active tuberculosis was 5.1%.
During the same period, the Hongqiao Sanatorium in Shanghai conducted X-ray examinations on 3,224 residents, and found 795 tuberculosis patients.
It can be seen that the incidence rate of tuberculosis in the early days of liberation was more than 3%. Even if calculated at 3%, the total population of the country's 600 million people would be at least about 20 million.
The number of tuberculosis patients in the capital area alone may exceed 100,000.
Tuberculosis means tuberculosis, nine out of ten people will die from tuberculosis. People all over the country know this jingle. Anyone who gets tuberculosis is waiting to die.
Rich people like Mr. Lu Shuren, great professors, great writers, don't still die from tuberculosis.
So when the newspaper said that the Capital Infectious Disease Hospital had conquered tuberculosis and the cure rate had reached over 90%, eligible tuberculosis patients across the country were ready to take action.
Even though the capital is far away in the horizon at this time, and it may be covered with stars and moons all the way, but compared with "life and death", what is this?
Looking at the crowded road at the entrance of the hospital, Bi Xinglong became a little worried: "Dean Lin, how can we treat so many patients? How about opening the door at 6 a.m. and ending at 6 p.m.? Or two shifts? Yes, from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. ”
This is the practice of most hospitals, that is, no matter how many patients there are, all patients will be discharged on the same day. Even if your doctor does not eat or rest, he must see all the patients before leaving.
Is there any problem with this logic?
In other words, from the patient's perspective, it's okay.
But from the perspective of medical staff, the problem is huge, because this is a very tiring pace.
A few decades later, there was a statistic. Looking at various industries across the country, doctors definitely had the highest rate of sudden death and the shortest average life span.
That’s really what you are doing. Not only are you tired at work, but you also have various continuing education studies after get off work. For example, it stipulates how many credits you must take in a year. It takes 9 hours to get 3 points of credit, and 15 hours to get 5 points. hours, and the total score is 25 points to meet the standard.
In addition, in order not to fall behind, you have to enroll in various graduate classes, right? A master's degree is not enough to start with, so you have to get a doctorate certificate, right?
There are also various professional titles to consider. If you take the exam for attending, you will also have deputy senior high school and senior high school. The exams are very strict. You have to hold the book and study obediently after get off work, right?
Besides, if you want to make progress, you have to do research, right? You have to write a paper, right? Again it was experiment after experiment, study after study and so on.
Even if you have no study tasks, you usually have to read various cutting-edge medical magazines, journals, medical materials, etc., in order to improve your level.
Now we also need to add an outpatient clinic for medical treatment.
It is said that foreign doctors have good attitudes, high standards, patience, and talk to patients like friends.
In the kind of European and American medical dramas, doctors wear smart white coats, hold coffee in one hand and are in the mood to joke, as if the years are quiet, how many patients do they see in a day? Are there more than 10?
If you try it in China, once the clinic opens in the morning, the caller will not stop at all.
When you are busy, let alone rest and eat, you don’t even have time to urinate. If you walk away for a few minutes, the patient will curse you.
It would be even worse if it was a night outpatient clinic in the emergency department. After a night of emergency treatment, you would be so tired that you would sit on the floor and drink glucose.
After being busy like this day by day, high-intensity mental work + physical work, it would be strange if people don't die suddenly.
So Lin Sanqi firmly denied it and said:
"Lao Bi, in this way, we can open more outpatient clinics, but each doctor must have a limited number."
"Limited number?"
Bi Xinglong was a little surprised:
"Dean Lin, I know that doctors abroad have limited numbers, but there is no such thing as number limit in our country.
Moreover, the number restriction will definitely cause dissatisfaction among patients. Our current slogan is to serve the people wholeheartedly. If patients complain too much, it will have an impact on your reputation and assessment. ”
Lin Sanqi pointed to the patient outside and asked:
"What if there is no limit on the number of patients? Do you believe there is no limit on the number of patients? Even if we do not stop treating patients 24 hours a day, how many patients can we see? To eliminate tuberculosis, we need to mobilize the strength of the whole country, not the strength of our entire hospital.
I recruited you foreign doctors back here because I used you as seeds. Each one of you has learned how to treat tuberculosis, and then just like me, one doctor will be able to set up a hospital.
Now you have 70 doctors. If you set up 70 hospitals, will you be able to cure more tuberculosis patients? If these 70 people teach 700 more students, will 700 hospitals be established in the future?
So now every doctor in our hospital is the most cherished medical talent. I am cultivating them as seeds, but I cannot let them die of exhaustion at work. I feel sorry for these doctors and their families. ”
When Bi Xinglong heard this, he would be lying if he said he was not moved.
"Thank you, thank you, Dean Lin, for treating us as human beings!"
Lin Sanqi can also sing high-profile slogans, otherwise it will be troublesome if it does not match the current publicity:
"Everyone is equal in our socialist country. Patients are human beings, and doctors are also human beings. If patients want to live, doctors also want to live. Since everyone is equal, no one owes anyone anything, so the best way is not to wrong anyone.
In this case, you immediately go to the hospital door and post a notice. We open 15 outpatient clinics every day, and each doctor is limited to 50 patients a day. Of course, you don't want to say that you are afraid that the doctor will be tired. The patient will not accept this reason, and will be scolded instead. ”
Bi Xinglong scratched his head: "Then why do I restrict the number?"
Lin Sanqi said with disdain:
"What a stupid person. You just said that our infectious disease hospital currently only has 300 beds. In addition, the supply of drugs is limited, and we can only have so many beds per day."
Bi Xinglong's eyes lit up: "Yes, this method is good!"
Lin Sanqi looked at the swarming crowd and thought that if he did this, he would not give birth to scalpers, right? (End of chapter)
