"The magic needle with the magic hand can cure diseases, and the medical virtues can warm people's hearts."

It is a simple fourteen words, without any fancy words, but it is catchy to read.

The parents of the child together handed the banner to Tao Le, and thunderous applause broke out from around him.

The families of the children and medical staff in the waiting room, whoever saw this scene, all smiled and clapped.

Tao Le was also touched. The reason why she practiced medicine for two lifetimes was to relieve the suffering of patients and return them peace and joy.

Although the courtesy banner in front of her was not what she expected, it was still heavy and filled with the family's thoughts.

She took it in immediately, took a photo with the patient's family according to their wishes, and quickly returned to the newborn and 6-month-old baby clinic.

Behind her, many family members waiting for treatment asked questions to find out what Dr. Tao could do. The family members of the previous child naturally had many comments and praised him highly, which made the people waiting for treatment feel very itchy.

The nurse on the side was secretly laughing in her heart. Others don't know who Dr. Tao is, but we know it best.

She is a close disciple of Zhou Ji Shen, an old national player, so how can acupuncture not be powerful?

Tao Le carried the banner into the consulting room, and Director Bai De was happy when he saw it.

"I said there was a lot of commotion outside just now. It turns out that our little Tao is up to something good."

Tao Le was a little embarrassed: "Director Bai, please don't laugh at me. If you have to hang up all the banners, I'm afraid there won't even be enough room to hang them up."

Although she was guessing, she was still close to the truth. Director Bai De has superb medical skills and has been practicing medicine for 20 years. He is really young and old when he gets the banner.

Bai De just laughed, put the topic aside, and started calling again.

The first child was only two weeks old. Yesterday he suddenly developed a high fever, with symptoms such as vomiting, choking on milk, and shortness of breath. Physical examination showed coarse breath sounds and rhonchi sounds in the lungs.

In this case, both Director Bai and Tao Le suspected that the child might have neonatal pneumonia.

Director Bai immediately issued a series of checklists and told his family members to prepare for hospitalization.

After sending the patient away, a call came from the emergency department, asking Bai De to come over for consultation.

He was still relieved about Tao Le, and after telling him a few words about what to pay attention to when the children in front of him came back later, he went up and handed over the consulting room to Tao Le.

There were no new patients for the time being, and Tao Le breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been so busy early in the morning that she hadn't even had a sip of water. She took advantage of this break to quickly make a cup of tea, squinted her eyes and took a sip, feeling extremely refreshed.

Probably because this sip of tea boosted his spirits, Tao Le suddenly remembered something.

Speaking of which, her second uncle Tao Haozhe, didn't he say he wanted to come to Yun City to get acupuncture from her? Four days have passed since Saturday. Why hasn't he come yet?

By the way, he said he wanted to stay with his grandfather for a while, so he must have not left the mountain village yet.

Thinking of this, Tao Le put the matter behind him. At this time, the system prompted that there were new children waiting for treatment, so Tao Le called the number.

The child is about to be one month old and the reason for coming to the doctor is that the jaundice is getting worse.

Neonatal jaundice is a common physiological or pathological symptom of newborns. It is manifested as a light yellow color in the baby's eyes, face, even chest and back, palms and soles, which is also called jaundice.

This is because the bilirubin in newborns is higher than normal metabolic levels. Generally speaking, most children with the disease can resolve spontaneously within two weeks after birth, and only a few require treatment.

When this child was born, the jaundice was only on the face, but now it has not gone away, but has spread to the chest, back, hands and feet. At the same time, I was listless all day long, extremely lethargic, had a loss of appetite, and my crying became lower and lower.

Tao Le was thinking at high speed in his mind. Jaundice has not disappeared more than 20 days after birth. Physiological causes have basically been ruled out, and pathological jaundice is highly likely.

There are many primary diseases that cause pathological jaundice in children, and many of them meet the above symptoms.

If we check one by one, the child will suffer a lot, and it will take a long time to see the results, which will affect the treatment.

Tao Le was hesitantly preparing to open the golden finger and read the answer directly, when he suddenly made a new discovery.

Her eyesight was very good, and she could see several tiny purple spots on the child's neck at a glance.

The weather has turned cold recently and the child is extremely weak, so the parents put a lot of clothes on him, leaving only a little of his neck exposed.

Tao Le's heart moved, and he immediately took the child, placed him on the examination bed, and unbuttoned his clothes layer by layer, exposing his chest.

Sure enough, there were many bruises and bruises on the child's chest.

In such an older child, the enlarged liver and spleen protrude to the outside of the ribs, which can be seen with the naked eye.

In addition, there were symptoms of infection around the navel, and Tao Le knew at a glance that this must be the source of infection.

Tao Le had doubts in his heart and stretched out his hand to grasp the child's tiny wrist pulse. Sure enough, the pulse was thin and countable.

Coupled with the fact that the child has no fever and other symptoms, it leads directly to one result.

Tao Le opened the golden finger.

The interface that came into view was already dark red, and it was only a thin line away from danger.

It was sepsis, she concluded.

Tao Le had no time to relax and immediately ordered blood, umbilical secretion culture, blood routine, and serum C-reactive protein tests.

The head told the family to get checked immediately, and she contacted the PICU.

This child does not have to wait for all the results to come out. He has to occupy a bed there, so he must be contacted in advance.

Although septicemia is a common disease in newborns, it is fierce and very dangerous.

Director Gao Yuan of the PICU immediately decided to add one more hospital bed to the already limited number of beds.

As soon as this was arranged, the child in front came back.

The X-ray showed clearly that the child's lungs had thick texture, small patchy shadows, and interstitial changes - indicating viral pneumonia.

Tao Le opened the golden finger to verify that it was correct, and then issued a hospitalization notice.

The whole morning was busy, and when it was time to eat at noon, Tao Le felt that his appetite had increased a lot.

Qin Feng held the tray, glanced around the restaurant, and saw Tao Le.

He quickly sat down opposite Tao Le and squeezed Xie Baoshu, who had the same purpose, next to him.

Not to be outdone, the latter also sat at the table and looked at Tao Le with a wink: "Doctor Tao, you know, the hospital has hospital rules. If you win the banner, you must treat him."

Qin Feng raised his eyebrows. He really didn't know that the elementary school girl got the pennant given by the patient. But with her abilities, this is normal, right?

Tao Le smiled and said nothing, just lowered his head and ate the buns in his hands.

Filled with celery leaf oil residue, the willow leaf-shaped buns are very fragrant.

After finishing the bun, Tao Le took a sip of the hot and sour soup, and then looked at Xie Baoshu:

"I suddenly remembered that there is something going on at home this Saturday."

A look of annoyance appeared on Xie Baoshu's face, and he immediately changed his words: "With Doctor Tao's level, this banner will definitely be carried in countless cars. How much will it cost if we have to treat every guest?" ?”

He made a serious look and said with a straight face: "I have long been dissatisfied with some of the old stereotypes and bad habits! Now is the time to make corrections, starting from me and Dr. Tao!"
