Backfired, Chen Tianming and Zuo Li's judgment was correct, Aunt Liu was biopsied and diagnosed with lung cancer.

Chen Tianming called Zuo Li and told him the test results.

Zuo Li was silent for a moment and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Chen Tianming said heavily: "I have to tell Director Jiang about this." After all, it is his patient, so that he can have a bottom in his heart and how to explain to the patient's family. ”

Zuo Li nodded and hung up the phone.

……………………

Afternoon.

Jiang Feng came to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine to find Zuo Li.

At this moment, his whole person is like a frosted eggplant, and he no longer walks with his toes high, but with his head bowed as if he was full of worries. Although the clouds are still light and the wind is light, the pace is fast, but it always gives people a sense of desolation.

When Jiang Feng appeared at the door of Zuo Li's office, Shou Tao and Chuan Xiong were a little flattered, and they all greeted each other: "Director Jiang, oh rare guest, you are a rare guest in our Chinese medicine department." Come in! I'm going to call Director Chang. ”

"No need, I'm not here to find Director Chang." Jiang Feng said bitterly, looking at Zuo Li, "Doctor Zuo, can I talk to you alone?" ”

Chang Jianguo was next door, he had already heard the movement here, and hurriedly came over, and when he heard Jiang Feng's words, he hurriedly said, "You guys come to my office to talk!" ”

Jiang Feng was not polite, walked into Chang Jianguo's office next door, and sat down weakly at the end of the reception sofa. Zuo Li sat next to him and looked at him.

Jiang Feng slowly raised his head, looked at Zuo Li, and said bitterly: "Thank you!" ”

These two simple words are almost impossible to say from the mouth of Jiang Feng, the director of the Department of Chest and Pulmonology and the first knife of the Third Hospital. And now, he's really saying it.

Zuo Li understood what he was referring to, nodded and said, "You're welcome, I didn't do anything." ”

Jiang Feng lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he said again: "You really ...... Just cut the pulse with your fingers...... It was determined that her disease was in the lungs, so did she go for a chest X-ray? ”

Zuo Li nodded.

Jiang Feng said: "Actually, I already know the answer to this question, and the reason why I say it is just to express my admiration for your magical ability to cut the pulse." Of course, I also want to express my shame. It stands to reason that I can think of such a simple question. But I didn't know what to think in my head, and it short-circuited. I thought that since there was no strength in my legs, there must be a nerve or bone problem, but I didn't expect that she had a non-metastatic symptom caused by lung cancer. ”

"However, this time it changed my perception of Chinese medicine on a certain level. Of course, in general, my view of Chinese medicine has not changed, I always feel that Chinese medicine is too backward, with advanced Western medicine, backward Chinese medicine should be abandoned, but Chinese medicine still has some empirical medical things to retain, such as your pulse, Western medicine can not replace it. ”

Zuo Li shook his head and said, "Actually, I cut my pulse to judge that the disease is in the lungs, which is just a general feeling. To determine the cause of hydrops and lung cancer, modern medical methods are needed to confirm it. Without modern puncture and other tests, it is impossible to determine the pulse by TCM alone. This is indeed where Chinese medicine is insufficient. But there are many things in Chinese medicine that cannot be replaced by Western medicine, not only the pulse cutting, but also the things of empirical medicine. If you continue to pay attention to TCM, you will find out. ”

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "I admit this." I've come to you to express my apologies. I used to say that Chinese medicine is pseudoscience, which is not right, and I take it back. Chinese medicine has an important role to play in many places, and you prove it. Not only because of this illness, but also because of the several patients you came to our chest department for consultation and treatment before. I didn't get involved too much, but I learned about it afterwards. I have seen every case you have participated in, and I am really amazed by the efficacy of Chinese medicine. ”

Zuo Li smiled, turned away from this sensitive topic, and asked, "How is this lung cancer patient now?" ”

"I was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, and my whole body had begun to spread, and there was no way to operate. The patient was very depressed and cried all day. Her daughter also cried, and although they didn't even say a word of complaint to me, it made me more uncomfortable than beating and scolding me. Because it was my misdiagnosis that missed her best chance of treatment, I could even say that I ruined her life. If she didn't have the strength in her legs and came to the doctor for the first time, instead of me, she would have found you, and you would have found her in her lungs. Lung cancer can be completely cured at an early stage. ”

"I haven't slept well for a few days, and when I close my eyes, I think of her desperate eyes and sad crying, and I am going to be tortured and crazy. By the way, I have already talked to the hospital leaders, and I think this is a medical accident, and I ask the hospital to punish me. Although the patient's family did not take the initiative to ask for compensation, we should not turn a blind eye just because the patient's family did not ask for it. I also told the leaders of the hospital that I hoped to compensate them with my year's salary, which can be regarded as making up for my guilt. ”

Zuo Li was very impressed: "Director Jiang, I admire your attitude of daring to take responsibility, there are few doctors who dare to face their mistakes like you." ”

Jiang Feng looked at Zuo Li: "You Chinese medicine, is there any way to save her life?" ”

Zuo Li smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Of course not." - Director Jiang, when others say such things, it is because they don't understand medicine. You, the chief physician, said the same thing in our hospital, and it can only be said that if you care, it will be chaotic. ”

Jiang Feng let out a long sigh: "I really hope that Chinese medicine can exert surprising medical effects at the most critical time, but my reason tells me that this is impossible. Whether it is Western medicine or Chinese medicine, it is medicine, and according to the current level of human medicine, it is not possible to completely defeat the problem of cancer in this century, and I am indeed giving you a problem. ”

Zuo Li said: "If needed, I can help prescribe some Chinese medicine to recuperate her and improve her mood." At the same time, let the psychiatrist intervene for psychological counseling, hoping that she can calmly accept this unacceptable fact as soon as possible. ”

Jiang Feng said: "Okay, that's the only way. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Feng turned his head and walked out of the office of the Chinese medicine department.

………………

Yao Mingming called Zuo Li and invited him to gather in the evening.

Fat Tiger, Searchlight and Zuo Li are now good friends with similar names, and Zuo Li of course agreed.

They found a small restaurant near the hospital to eat and drink. Searchlight drinks well, but because she has to be on duty at night, she doesn't dare to drink too much, only a glass of beer.

Fat Tiger saw that the searchlight's eyes were red and a little swollen, and he had obviously been crying, of course he knew the reason, so he slapped her strong shoulder: "I know you feel uncomfortable, my best friend's mother was diagnosed with cancer." But there is no way, this is fate. ”
