Chapter 158 The new hospital site, tearing up the agreement
Zhang Yan followed Lao Liangtou and Director Liang to the original guest house, which is now the new location of Red Star Hospital.
"Dr. Zhang, this is your office. Do you want to see if there is anything missing?" Director Liang opened an office and smiled at Zhang Yan.
There is a sign with the name of the vice-dean on this room.
You can't see much change from outside the door, but when you enter the room, it's already completely different.
The white walls and blue wall skirts make it look clean and tidy.
Office desks and chairs, hangers for hanging clothes, washstands, bookcases, and cupboards are all available.
The desk is a long bookcase made of old mahogany, and the chair is also a Taishi chair made of old mahogany.
Including bookcases and cabinets are all made of old mahogany.
"Director Zhang, although the furniture is old, it is very strong. You can use it first, and we will replace it with new ones when we move to the new hospital building in the future." Director Liang explained a little embarrassedly.
"It's okay, as long as it works." Zhang Yan said with a smile.
"This room also has an inner room where Dr. Zhang can rest." Director Liang continued to introduce.
"Thank you, Director Liang, you are so considerate!" Zhang Yan took a look and thanked him quickly.
The interior is also very simple, with a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe.
They are all old furniture. The bed should be an Arhat couch, and the desk is a serious desk, but it is also old.
In this era, this situation is actually quite normal. During the war, unknown amounts of gold, silver, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and various valuable furniture were confiscated.
Naturally, the fine gold and silver items were put into the treasury, while the antiques, calligraphy and paintings were handed over to the Palace Museum or antique shops.
There are also a lot of expensive furniture. Because no one understands the value of furniture, it is divided up by various units, euphemistically called waste recycling.
In fact, in their opinion, this is really waste utilization. It is a pile of worn-out furniture that was left over from the leaders. It is naturally waste utilization.
It's funny to say that the furniture those leaders chose were all European-style furniture, but not many people wanted these precious antique furniture.
After many units are allocated, some are used and some are piled directly in the warehouse to eat dust.
What surprised Zhang Yan the most was that there was a bronze figure in the office.
Zhang Yan quickly stepped forward to check. This was what he was thinking of, the bronze man of acupuncture.
This bronze figure is extraordinary. It is the same length and size as a real person. Its body is equipped with internal organs, which are consistent with the physiological structure of a real person. Its limbs and internal organs can be assembled and disassembled. There are 354 acupoints engraved on the outside (according to Wang Weiyi's monograph "The Bronze Figure").
Acupoint Acupuncture Diagram"), with the names of the acupoints marked in gold characters next to them.
The acupuncture bronze figures were first made by celebrities during the Renzong period of Song Dynasty.
At that time, a total of two bronze figures were made, one was kept in the palace, and the other was sent to the Medical Officer's Hospital to be used as a teaching model and acupuncture assessment.
During the examination, the surface of a copper human body is coated with wax, and mercury is injected into the body. The subject is asked to select acupuncture points and insert a needle. If the acupuncture location is accurate, the needle will go in and the mercury will come out. If the acupoint is selected incorrectly, the needle will not be inserted.
Although I don’t know whether it is the Song version of the acupuncture bronze figure or a later imitation.
However, it does not affect the value of this bronze figure.
For the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine, this is a priceless treasure.
"Director Liang, where did this acupuncturist come from?"
"This! It seems that this was confiscated back then. Because it was copper, it was sent to the rolling mill where I bought it, and it has been kept in the warehouse ever since.
When I was looking for tables, chairs and benches for you this time, I accidentally found them and saw the words engraved on them. They should be used by your doctors, so I brought them to you." Director Liang said nonchalantly.
"Director Liang, you have given us a treasure! This thing is called an acupuncture bronze man, and it is used for teaching and assessment.
I was still worried about how to teach them acupuncture.
Now, with this thing, it is much more convenient." Zhang Yan said as he stepped forward to check, and soon found the mechanism, opened the abdominal cavity and chest cavity, and exposed the internal organs inside.
Now, even a layman like Director Liang felt the preciousness of the bronze man.
"Isn't this amazing? It's actually the same as human internal organs?"
"Not only that, each joint of this acupuncture bronze figure can be taken apart individually." Zhang Yan said as he took off the arms and head of the acupuncture bronze figure.
He opened the skull again, revealing the brain full of grooves, which was exactly the same as the real thing.
"Dr. Zhang, is this what we think in our minds?" Director Liang asked curiously, staring at the bronze man's head.
"Yes, our brains grow like this. This is the brain, this is the forebrain, cerebellum, and central sulcus." Zhang Yan reached out and took out the brain inside and explained to Director Liang.
"Dr. Zhang, have our ancestors already studied the human body so thoroughly?" Director Liang said in surprise.
"Our ancestors began to study the structure of the human body as early as more than a thousand years ago.
However, some ancient concepts limited the development of surgical technology. Otherwise, what would be the use of Western medicine?
During the Three Kingdoms incident, Hua Tuo was able to perform surgery to remove brain tumors, just think about it!" Zhang Yan said with a smile.
Although Hua Tuo was killed because he performed surgery to remove a brain tumor on Cao Cao.
However, if you think about it, if Hua Tuo had no experience, no similar surgery, and no confidence of success, how dare he propose such a treatment plan to Cao Cao?
He must have had countless similar operations done before, and the success rate was not low, so he dared to mention it.
Unfortunately, Cao Cao was suspicious and had Hua Tuo killed.
Many people say that if Hua Tuo was still alive, what would be the use of Western medicine?
In fact, there was another concept in ancient China that restricted the development of surgical operations, that is, the body's hair and skin are influenced by its parents.
In later generations, many people also studied the structure of the body, but unfortunately they were not applied to surgery. Instead, they were applied to autopsy, which was the earliest forensic autopsy.
The most famous one is Song Ci.
Song Ci’s most famous work, "The Record of Clearing Wrongs", can actually be regarded as the earliest masterpiece of anatomy.
His knowledge of human anatomy is thousands of years ahead of the world.
All in all, Zhang Yan was in a very good mood.
Zhang Yan and Lao Liangtou occupied four of the offices downstairs, leaving one for Dr. Zhen Jia, one for Zhao Shengli and the others, a treatment room, and a pharmacy.
The utility room in the west wing was also surgically removed and turned into a duty dormitory, which is right next to the boiler room and is quite warm.
After looking at the downstairs, we came upstairs. There is a nurse's office, a doctor's duty room, an operating room, a dispensing room, and the remaining four rooms are wards.
There are four beds in each ward, making a total of sixteen beds.
In this way, it has been more than two years since the establishment of Red Star Hospital, and it has finally met the basic conditions for establishing a hospital.
Although it is still very crude in all aspects, it is still a good start.
Let’s not talk about the sterile conditions in the operating room. At least there is a shadowless lamp, an operating table, and various surgical instruments, scalpels, hemostatic forceps, bevel forceps, tissue scissors, surgical forceps, and wire scissors.
Surgical treatment forceps, needle holders, sutures, draping forceps, pinch forceps, appendix forceps, etc. are quite complete.
However, no matter how complete these things were, Zhang Yan would not dare to perform an abdominal surgery on the patient. Under such conditions, life and death would really be a matter of fate with just one operation.
Some people may say that such conditions are countless times better than those in field hospitals.
However, this cannot be compared.
If it were a field hospital, not to mention the operating room, even in the open air, Zhang Yan would dare to perform surgery.
This is a peaceful time, and there are better hospitals and well-equipped operating rooms around. He can't make fun of people's lives.
However, surgeries such as fractures, wound sutures, and even tendon suture surgeries can be performed.
"How's it going? Doctor Zhang, let's see if there's anything else you need. I can arrange for someone to get it for you." Director Liang asked with a smile.
"It's pretty good, let's leave it at that for now!" Zhang Yan shook his head and said he had no other opinions.
"Okay, then you hurry up and pack it up, and finish it in the next two days." Director Liang urged.
"Xiao Liuzi, how will we solve the food problem after we move here?" Lao Liangtou asked directly.
"Eating? In this case, I will send you a chef and a helper. There happens to be a kitchen and canteen here, so you can open the fire directly here.
The purchase of grain, oil and non-staple food will be carried out by the factory and delivered to you." Director Liang gritted his teeth and did not dare to refute, he said simply.
"That's pretty much it, that's it!
Xiao Zhang, without further ado, we will move tomorrow!" Lao Liangtou was also very straightforward and decided to move tomorrow.
"Well, Dean Liang, I don't object to moving tomorrow. It's just that I have to go to Xicheng Hospital for a consultation tomorrow. I will have to worry about the moving."
"We still have to go to Xicheng Hospital for consultation. Let me tell you, we are now on a regular basis and we won't have to go to Xicheng Hospital for consultation in the future."
"This is what you and Director Yang promised to Director Chu." Zhang Yan said speechlessly.
"So what if I promised? Why are we so busy here now, how can we have time to help them?" Old Liangtou said very domineeringly.
These old revolutionaries have become overbearing and will not reason with you at all.
"We still have twelve nurses training in Xicheng Hospital." Zhang Yan could only remind them.
It was agreed at the beginning that he would go to Xicheng Hospital for consultation, and Xicheng Hospital would help Hongxing Hospital train nurses.
"What's the point? He helped us train nurses, and we will help them train doctors later." Lao Liangtou said with eyes wide open.
"Okay, I listen to you! Then I won't go." Zhang Yan didn't want to argue with Lao Liangtou, so he readily agreed.
Anyway, whether you go or not is decided by your leader.
When the time comes, the lawsuit will be your leader's business and will have nothing to do with him.
"That's right, you can have a consultation at our Red Star Hospital with peace of mind tomorrow, and you won't have to go to Xicheng Hospital in the future.
Chapter completed!
