Yun Hua City.
Centurial Beach Sanatorium.
Centurial Beach was located in the southern suburbs of Yun Hua City. It was backed by a mountain and faced the sea. A small stream flowed from the top of the mountain into a small river, and a breakwater blocked the waves to protect the beach.
The sand on the beach was imported from other places. In the early years, it was sand from Beidaihe. Later, when they had money, they imported sand from the Philippines, and later, they started to buy sand from Macau.
The golden sand was fine and translucent. It was spread from one end of the Centurial Beach to the other, forming a one-kilometer long beach. Along with some lounge chairs and parasols, it was as leisurely as an island for nine months of the year.
The old cadres of the sanatorium were very concerned about the quality of the beach. If there was not enough cover, or if they were not diligent in cleaning, someone would rush into the office and scold the staff. Therefore, the beach was one of the eight most important projects in the sanatorium, along with the walking promenade, the half-slope tea pavilion, the backyard garden, the chess hall, the courtyard water, the infirmary, and the cafeteria.
The old cadres rarely stepped on the beach. The youngest person who was qualified to stay in Centurial Beach Sanatorium was at least fifty-five years old, and he was an academician of the Academy of Sciences. He only came for ten days to half a month every year. The older cadres were afraid of the occasional breeze, so they would not sit on the beach and enjoy the sea breeze.
However, the young people who came to the sanatorium liked the beach of Centurial Beach very much. Some of them stayed for ten days to half a month, accompanying the elderly, sunbathing on the beach, and posting on their social media. They were very happy.
Some young people would bring their children to Centurial Beach to play on weekends. In just a few days, the beach became very lively.
In order to attract the children, the sanatorium had even remodeled the former coal dock a few years ago. Three new fishing boats had been added, which could be used to fish in the open sea and barbecue on the beach. This greatly increased the sanatorium's attractiveness.
It was Thursday when the health inspection team organized by the Health Commission arrived at Centurial Beach Sanatorium. There were still five or six children shouting in the sanatorium, and there were more than twenty adults watching happily.
As expected, Doctor Zhou appeared among the health inspection team. He dragged a twenty-four-inch suitcase behind him and introduced the place to Ling Ran with familiarity. "This is the atrium, and it's surrounded by houses that extend in all directions. If you get lost in the sanatorium, just look for the sign of the atrium. Once you find the atrium, you'll be able to find your way back."
Ling Ran hummed and nodded.
"Don't stroll around in the courtyard. You might be seen by any leader, and you will be embarrassed when they ask you questions. If he wanted to rest, he could go to the beach or climb a mountain. What's the name of the mountain behind the Centurial Beach? It's not very famous, but the steps are well-built. They're wide and big, and there's even a small driveway at the back. It's nice to climb and sweat. " Doctor Zhou explained everything to Ling Ran as if he was very familiar with them. He also imparted his valuable experience to Ling Ran. He did not hide anything at all.
Ling Ran looked at the many internists who came with him, and a resident doctor from the same department who looked so ordinary that he could not remember his name. He could not help but scratch his head and said, "There are so many doctors here. Can't we just do a health inspection in one day? Do I need to stay here for a few days? "
"The sanatorium will be happy to let us stay here for a few days." Doctor Zhou paused for a moment as he spoke. He seemed to recall something and said, "Don't think that a health inspection is just a normal physical examination. We need to give the veteran cadres further medical treatment plans. Whether they need to be hospitalized, change their medication, or rest and maintenance, we need to give them a plan. Do you know how many questions the veteran cadres will ask during this process? If we answer these questions, the sanatorium will have an easier time. Besides, if we discover patients with problems in advance, we can send them back to the hospital directly. This can also reduce the burden on the sanatorium. "
Ling Ran nodded, not really understanding. He did not really care about the reason Doctor Zhou gave him. He just felt that it was a waste of time.
"The hospital is actually happy to do this." The resident doctor who looked so ordinary that no one could remember his name came over with a smile and said, "I remember when I first came here, there were often veteran cadres who came to snatch the cadre's ward. They said that they would get angry if the ward was full …"
"The Centurial Beach is the largest sanatorium in Yun Hua. If we do health inspection in the sanatorium, we can also reduce the burden on the hospital." Doctor Zhou took a deep breath of fresh air and looked like he was going to a banquet.
"Then, next …"
"Next, we can rest. All the physical examinations are done in the morning. It's already ten o 'clock now. Let's get ready for lunch. The vegetables in the canteen at the Centurial Beach are all grown by themselves. They only use farm manure and no pesticides. They're healthy and pollution-free. I can eat a lot every time … "Doctor Zhou was already rubbing his palms together.
"Don't tell me that farm manure is bought?"
"Of course not. How can it be called farm manure if it's bought?"
Ling Ran nodded in understanding and said, "Farm manure is produced by the sanatorium itself? However, the average age of the intestinal bacteria here is a little old. I don't know if the farm manure produced here will affect them. "
"There's no difference after fermentation … Why do I have to discuss this with you …" Doctor Zhou's face was a little twisted.
Ling Ran walked through the atrium and stood in a hall. He queued up to get a room card.
A part of the Centurial Beach Sanatorium was open to the public. There were different prices for the society, related units, and the family members of veteran cadres. The preferential treatment given to the health inspection team of Yun Hua Hospital was three days of accommodation.
The standard of accommodation was also very hierarchical. Chief physicians were given a suite, associate chief physicians were given a single room, and attending physicians and those below that level were given a room in pairs.
For doctors who could not even rest on weekends, staying in the sanatorium to work was almost the same as recuperating. The only thing that could be compared to this was the meetings held by large pharmaceutical companies.
"You're still an intern?" The clerk in the hall who was in charge of handing out room cards was young, but she had seen many doctors in the hospital. Naturally, she had doubts about Ling Ran's age and qualifications.
However, after Ling Ran said a simple "yes", the young clerk instantly believed him.
There was no way there was anything fishy!
There were also outstanding interns!
Those who could work as interns in Yun Hua Hospital must be very good!
After a series of three consecutive sentences, the young woman who had gone through two years of revision for the civil servant examination and finally got into Yun Hua City's Veteran Affairs Office with a bachelor's degree from Project 211 and a master's degree from Project 985 flashed a smile at Ling Ran and said, "There's an odd number of people who came. One of you was not invited. Can you stay in a room alone?"
"Yes." Ling Ran smiled. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." The young woman smiled sweetly and thought, 'Doctors are so cultured. Doctors are so polite. Doctors are so handsome. '
The next morning, the health inspection officially began.
Unlike the physical examination during his student days, the health inspection provided by Yun Hua Hospital was by appointment, and it followed the model of Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The patients did not move, but the doctors moved to provide as convenient a service as possible.
The main force in charge of the physical examination was the internists whom Ling Ran rarely came into contact with after he entered the hospital.
A few internists set up their positions and asked the patients while they began to perform a physical examination. They were very detailed from head to toe.
Ling Ran took a few glances and was certain that at least four internists were better than him in terms of physical examination.
This was not strange. Physical examination had always been the specialty of internists. Not to mention that Ling Ran was not diligent in practicing, even if he practiced diligently, he would not be as diligent as internists in performing physical examinations.
"Ling Ran, get ready to help." Doctor Zhou suddenly pointed to the front and reminded Ling Ran.
Two children broke free from their mother's arms and ran over with all their might. As they ran, they shouted, "Grandpa, Grandpa."
The mother smiled in relief and apologized, "I'm sorry, the children insisted on coming over."
The plain and ugly resident doctor quickly walked forward and said with a smile, "Children, you can't go to the front."
"You're lying." One of the children pushed away the plain and ugly resident doctor's hand and ran forward with all his might.
The plain and ugly resident doctor grabbed one, and the other ran without looking back, as if he had practiced it before.
Ling Ran stood up at Doctor Zhou's request.
He had never taken care of children before. He put his hands in his pockets and stood in front of the physical examination area.
The young boy who was running with all his might stopped for some reason.
He looked at the tall Ling Ran with some fear and asked, "Are you a doctor too?"
Ling Ran only nodded slightly.
"I want to see my grandpa," the young boy said again.
"You'll see him after the physical examination," Ling Ran answered.
"Oh." The young boy stood where he was obediently.
After a while, another child ran over, broke through the encirclement of others, and stood in front of Ling Ran.
