Chapter 433 Obstetric Difficulties

After introducing the three sisters, Tongqian looked at the many cameras still pointed at her and said, "I would like to thank the district leaders, TV stations and major media who are here today. From today on, our Chinese medicine hospital has an obstetrics department. Here, no matter it is a breech presentation or a normal birth, we will use Chinese medicine methods and acupuncture to adjust the fetal position. We will never perform a cesarean section." Her words aroused warm applause.

"For patients treated in our traditional Chinese medicine hospital, no matter which disease they have within the internal organs, we will reduce the mortality rate to the lowest level and allow the patients to return home in good health." Another round of warm applause.

"The purpose of a traditional Chinese medicine hospital is to allow patients to spend the least amount of money and make the greatest adjustments to their bodies, so that they can recover to the healthiest state. We will continue to move towards this goal." Tongqian's speech ended.

District Chief Wang concluded, "Although the new director of our hospital is young, she has achieved extraordinary results in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. I believe she will bring the hospital to a new height."

In this way, Tongqian had a traditional Chinese medicine hospital in advance. Although the outpatient building had been opened, many departments needed to be reorganized. She arranged Sister Liu to manage the quality of traditional Chinese medicine in the pharmacy, which is the basis for ensuring the effectiveness of the medicine, and this must be done well.

She assigned Senior Sister Wang to be in charge of the outpatient clinic, as she had absolute authority in making correct diagnoses.

After much deliberation, Sister Gong decided to assign her to the obstetrics department. Although there was already an obstetrician, she wanted to make the obstetrics department of the Chinese medicine hospital famous, so she had to hand over the breech presentation to a capable assistant. Besides, acupoint adjustment was also used when correcting breech presentation. Sister Gong was still unique in this aspect compared to others.

The first few days were all about arranging staff, and then there were issues such as arranging housing, expanding the kitchen, etc. It made Tongqian feel that managing a hospital was really a lot of work.

It wasn't until a week later that she felt able to catch her breath and sit in the office and watch everything downstairs.

In the past few days, the news in Shanghai has been constantly broadcasting the ribbon-cutting and publicity of the Chinese Medicine Hospital. In particular, Tongqian said that the Chinese Medicine Hospital now has an obstetrics department and can correct breech presentation. In the past two days, several pregnant women with breech presentation have come to see the doctor.

The fetal position at this time is determined entirely by the doctor's experience. There is no B-ultrasound and no filming can be done for fear of adverse effects on fetal development. If it is a breech position, the fetus should be placed in the knee-chest position at an appropriate gestational age to change its position to a head position so that a normal birth can be achieved.

Tongqian went deep into the department and first taught the doctors how to accurately determine the fetal position, adjust the fetal position by manipulation, and use acupuncture to adjust the fetal position at the Zhiyin acupoint, striving to adjust the breech position to the cephalic position before delivery.

If the breech presentation is difficult and cannot be adjusted, she will personally demonstrate how to block it, how to release it, and how long the labor process will be. She will pass on her experience to the obstetricians bit by bit.

The nurse who delivered the breech baby last time has now been transferred to the obstetrics department. She is also listening carefully. "Director, can you tell me what to do if the breech baby has one leg exposed? If we encounter such a situation, how can we help her give birth naturally?"

"When encountering such a situation, you can only push it back in and re-block it until the cervix is ​​fully dilated. You can then release it. Every contraction must be utilized well. Fully dilation of the cervix is ​​the most important thing." Tongqian taught his experience carefully.

"The goal of our obstetricians is to help people survive, which is good for both the mother and the fetus. Don't be afraid to use force, and don't do it for the money. Let every life take the right path from the beginning. Unless it is a special case, we will never perform a caesarean section. This is a requirement that our obstetricians at the Chinese medicine hospital keep in mind." Tongqian once again clarified his advocacy.

Every obstetrician is inspired and motivated, and everyone wants to learn these techniques.

Senior Sister Gong is the director of obstetrics. She followed Tongqian to the office and said, "Director. How do you have so much experience in obstetrics? You have never been in the clinic. How did you do it? When I encounter a patient like this, I still don't dare to treat him."

"Sister, don't worry. I will be there when you deliver a breech baby. With two experiences of breech delivery, you will be able to get started easily. During this period, you should touch the mother's belly more often and practice judging the fetal position. Acupuncture is your strong point when encountering breech delivery." Tongqian said with a smile.

"I feel like there is too much to learn. Please don't put too much pressure on me. I have no obstetrics experience." Senior Sister Gong felt that she was not qualified for this job.

"Obstetrics is the most tiring but also the most meaningful. The more you do it, the more you will like it. Welcoming a new life is such a wonderful thing!" Tongqian sincerely felt this way.
