Chapter 531 A somewhat confusing meeting

At 7:30 the next morning, after Li Maoyang had breakfast, he was preparing to rush to the Health Department in advance to wait for Deputy Director Lan, when someone called him.

"Hello, are you Doctor Li Maoyang?"

The voice of a young man in his thirties.

"I am. Could you please tell me who you are?"

Li Maoyang heard that the other party's accent was from the Qingcheng area and his speech was pleasant, so he asked politely.

"Hello, I am Xiao Chen, secretary of the Department of Health. Didn't Director Lan have an appointment with you today? Just come to Saiquan District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Give me a call when you get there."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Li Maoyang was a little confused. What was going on? He originally agreed to meet at the health department, but why did he go to Saiquan District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to meet him?

He didn't even know where the Saiquan District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital was, and he would have to navigate there later.

As the provincial capital, Qingcheng has many hospitals.

General hospitals, Western hospitals, traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, Mongolian hospitals; provincial hospitals, municipal hospitals, district hospitals, community hospitals; public hospitals, private hospitals...

There are so many that are dizzying.

There seem to be several traditional Chinese medicine hospitals alone, right?

Saiquan District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital?

It should be a district-affiliated hospital. The best kind of district-affiliated hospital is a second-class hospital, right?

Why are you meeting there?

Li Maoyang really doesn't understand.

Is it because Deputy Director Lan is busy and he just happens to go to Saiquan District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital today to inspect the situation there and meet him by the way?

Or do you want to see Li Maoyang’s true medical skills there?

Or both?

Li Maoyang was too lazy to think about it. He immediately got in the car and started the navigation, and found that the Saiquan District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine was only six or seven miles away.

By the way, this area itself belongs to Saiquan District.

He immediately drove to Saiquan District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital according to the navigation.

When I arrived at the Saiquan District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, I found that the overall scale of this hospital, including its external appearance and buildings, was not as good as that of the Hubei Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

Also, the Hubei Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is not a municipal hospital, but a district-level hospital.

After parking the car in the yard, Li Maoyang thought for a while and put on a brand new white coat he was carrying in the car.

According to Wang Minghe, I met Deputy Director Lan today. It is very crucial to whether the policy of supporting apprentices can be implemented. I'd better pay attention to my appearance.

Then he called Xiao Chen, the secretary of the Department of Health who had called him, and followed his instructions to the ward on the fourth floor, where he found a group of people in white coats checking the wards.

Inside, there were two people with different identities at first glance. One was not wearing a white coat, and the other was wearing a white coat. After listening to their questions and answers, Li Maoyang determined that the one without a white coat should be Deputy Director Lan, and that one The person in the white coat should be the director of Saiquan District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

Both are in their fifties.

This makes Li Maoyang a little strange. It's okay for the dean to conduct ward inspections in person, but a deputy director will follow him to do ward inspections?

This thing is really new!

It seems that Deputy Director Lan may be a doctor by training?

Li Maoyang thought this way, looked at the formation, and prepared to follow the team. He would wait for the team to finish checking the ward before looking for Deputy Director Lan.

The secretary, Xiao Chen, was also in the ward round queue at this time, but because Li Maoyang was wearing a white coat and didn't recognize him, he called him.

The phone rang. Li Maoyang hurriedly pressed it and approached his secretary Xiao Chen: "I am Li Maoyang, and I am here."

He thought his voice was low enough, but it still made the people in front of him turn to look at him.

Deputy Director Lan heard what he said and waved to him: "Is it Xiao Li? Come here!"

Li Maoyang walked through the crowd.

"Are you Li Maoyang?"

Lan Jiarong, who was wearing glasses and with a serious face, looked at Li Maoyang who was walking next to him and confirmed.

"I'm Li Maoyang. Hello, Director of Lan Department." Li Maoyang nodded.

He has met some big shots now, and now he didn't seem to be at all shy when meeting a deputy director.

People around him looked at him strangely.

Judging by his face and clothes, such a young intern doctor (or maybe he is a trainee from some school), met a deputy director of the department, and spoke in such a rude and arrogant voice?

Shouldn't he bend down and whisper, "I'm Xiao Li..." or something like that?

"Hello, Xiao Li." Lan Jiarong looked at Li Maoyang, shook his hand, and introduced him, "This is Dean Wu."

Then Lan Jiarong turned to Dean Wu and said, "This Xiao Li is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the Hetao area. He runs his own clinic and is said to be very famous in the local area.

I only got to know him through someone’s introduction, and today is the first time I’ve met him.”

"Hello, Dean Wu."

"Hello, Xiao Li."

Wu Yunan also shook hands with Li Maoyang.

"So young? How many years have you been practicing medicine? Have you obtained a medical license?" Wu Yunan asked Li Maoyang with a smile.

"I am taking the path of inheriting traditional Chinese medicine and currently have an assistant physician license." Li Maoyang said, "I will be able to take the medical license exam in four years."

After five years as an assistant physician, you can take the medical license test again. Once you get the medical license, it is equivalent to the residency qualification in the hospital.

Li Maoyang obtained his assistant physician license last year, so he can take the medical license exam in four years.

"Oh, that's not bad." Wu Yunan said with a smile, "Who is your master?"

"My master is Mr. Zheng Dake from our village. He passed away last year. When he was alive, he was a famous doctor in our area for hundreds of miles." Li Maoyang raised his eyebrows and said, "I have been studying with him since I was four years old. Chinese medicine."

"Oh, but to practice traditional Chinese medicine, it seems that a doctor with a qualification of deputy chief physician or above is required to serve as a master, right?" Wu Yunan asked again.

"I also have a master, who is my second grandfather, the chief physician of Hubei Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Now he has retired and been hired back." Li Maoyang added.

"Oh, that can be considered a family of traditional Chinese medicine." Wu Yunan said with a smile.

After chatting for a few words, Li Maoyang saw that he had nothing to do, so he retreated to the back of the team.

Looking at the appearance and age of everyone in this team, there should be many chief physicians, deputy chief physicians, and attending physicians.

Even the lowest-level resident physician is one level higher than him, an assistant physician.

He's an assistant physician, so he'd better not get ahead of himself.

Of course, he has never cared about the gap in the medical hierarchy. Now he has dealt with several chief physicians and deputy chief physicians, and he has never been in awe of them.

It's just that as an outsider at this time, he came to Lan Jiarong to do something. There was really no need to show off here, he could just handle his own affairs.

Then Li Maoyang followed the team, slowly moving forward in the corridor with this huge ward round team.

He didn't go into the ward either - there was so much crowd in front that he couldn't get in, so he could only follow and stop at the tail of the team, sometimes listening to what Wu Yunan in front of him told Lan Jiarong about the current situation in the hospital.

Medical equipment is insufficient and aging, medical personnel are understaffed, and their salaries are low, etc. Are you asking Lan Jiarong for any support policies?

Li Maoyang was confused when he heard this. He really couldn't understand what was going on in this institutional hospital.

At the same time, he felt even more confused that Lan Jiarong called him here to meet.

It's such a waste of time to follow the ward rounds slowly and stop.

If he has this time, he might as well visit some other famous Chinese medicine doctors in the Qingcheng area, maybe he can gain something.

He is really not used to this slow pace.

Then, just as he was following the ward rounds in a bored manner, Lan Jiarong, who entered another ward in front of him, called him and asked him to enter the ward.

Li Maoyang squeezed into the ward under the eyes of all the doctors and nurses.

Then, he immediately smelled a fishy smell, a bit like rotten eggs.

A middle-aged woman who looked like a nurse leader may have felt like she was being slapped in the face by the hygiene in the ward in front of the deputy director and dean, so she asked with a dark face: "Who ate salted fish?"

The three patients in the ward and their accompanying family members looked at each other in shock, but no one answered.

"Who ate salted fish? Who asked you to eat randomly in this ward?" The woman asked again, and then turned to the nurses behind her with a pale face, "Who is in charge of this ward today?"

Li Maoyang saw that this middle-aged woman was quite domineering. No one present said anything about her. The patients in the entire ward and their accompanying family members were silenced by her scolding. Several nurses behind him were even more afraid of her.

Without holding back, he pointed at one of the elderly patients and said, "It should be the smell coming from this liver patient, right?"

If the patient has severe liver disease, the methionine in the body will be digested and release ammonia, resulting in methyl mercaptan and dimethyl sulfide. The smell produced through the respiratory tract or urination will be this fishy smell.

The middle-aged woman felt like she had been slapped in the face, and turned to Li Maoyang and said, "Who told you?"
