"Dr. Felix, are you satisfied with the equipment?"
"Are you used to the spare parts?"
"How's the cooperation of our young doctors? Maybe your English isn't that good? "
The hospital director walked out of the street and entered the operating theater. Naturally, he asked about the patient's well-being, and he even used very standard American English.
When he was hiding in the conference room to watch the live broadcast, he had already gained a better understanding of Felix and Karen. Now that he had come out to meet them, he naturally had higher expectations.
Asking the two of them to teach the young doctor was just a basic request. If they could maintain a semi-official or even personal relationship with the Cleveland Heart Center, it would be even better.
For a top-notch local hospital like Yun Hua Hospital, whether they could get in touch with the world's top-notch hospitals, especially specialists, was the key to whether they could be promoted to the next level.
It was very difficult to grow bigger than the super hospitals in Beijing by eating the leftovers left behind by them.
Felix did not seem to care. He performed the surgery and casually said, "The conditions in Yun Hua Hospital are pretty good. I've been to many places with terrible conditions, but it doesn't affect the operation of the surgery. It doesn't even affect the success rate of the surgery. Many people thought that cardiac surgery required a lot of high standards, but that was not the case. The Argentines are an example, right? "
The hospital director felt a little helpless when he was compared to a place with terrible conditions. He said in a self-deprecating manner, "Our Cardiology Center has not been updated for some time. Next, we will consider bringing in equipment and instruments in this area …"
"Your Department of Cardiovascular Surgery can't be considered a Heart Center." Felix shook his head and laughed. "I don't know how much it will cost to rebuild a heart center, but it will be very high. Moreover, there will be a lot of expenses every year. Even if you have Ling Ran, it's not quite possible …"
The Dean thought to himself, You are not tactful at all.
However, compared to the honesty of the Chinese, the dean was more accepting of the Americans' honesty. He laughed out loud and said, "At least we have Ling Ran. Moreover, there are many young doctors like Ling Ran who are not. If we send them to the Cleveland Heart Center for further training, they might become the future backbone doctors of our hospital's cardiac surgery department. "
As soon as he said that?
Most of the young doctors in the operating theater looked at Felix with burning eyes.
Can't see it?
His face was also remembered by the dean, which meant that he didn't even understand English?
Isn't it too tiring to study in the United States?
Most of them would not be able to become the backbone doctors in the future. They might not even have a future.
Felix also understood the dean's voice-over. The dean was using the American accent to emphasize his words.
Felix thought for a moment.
He then looked at the hospital director and said, "I heard that the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery in China suffers losses."
"We can't lose money forever. Do Chinese people always need heart surgery?
Moreover?
Once we become a leading hospital, the number of surgeries we can attract will also increase greatly. "The hospital director was full of confidence and said," China's economy is developing very fast.
Do you have time in the next two days?
We've arranged a tour program … "
"I just want to watch Doctor Ling operate." Felix did not seem to be interested in the tour. He paused for a while before he said, "Moreover, I'm pessimistic about the development of cardiovascular surgery in China."
"Hmm?"
"The development of cardiovascular surgery requires a good economy.
But their relationship … "Felix shrugged and didn't make any further conclusions.
He said directly, "Take for example the number of children with heart malformations. The poorer and more backward a place is, the more they need it. Because of the pregnancy screening?
A large number of related diseases have been eliminated … "
"Then we'll go to a poor and backward place for surgery. China is still far from the level of developed countries." The hospital director immediately understood.
Felix was stunned. "Then you'll continue to suffer losses."
"We can afford to lose money," the hospital director answered calmly.
At the same time?
He also made a similar decision in his heart.
Was he going to set up a hospital that made money?
Or a hospital that did not make money? For a hospital manager, this was always a topic full of suspense.
But as the director of a hospital, in today's China, he really had the right and the means to choose whether the hospital would make money or not.
Moreover, he had sufficient reasons for any choice he made.
He had long been free to manage his finances, and he did not have many thoughts about his career. He was also very familiar with the human relations in the hospital …
In this case, unless there was a higher authority involved, he had a lot of administrative means to make political decisions.
Especially under the premise that he did not randomly come up with political slogans.
Felix was a little surprised by the hospital director's straightforwardness. Hospital directors in the United States were not willing to talk about losing money easily.
"Cleveland has a lot of places for doctors from other countries for in-service training. If you're interested, you can fight for it. I can also tutor you." Felix was willing to give up some of his precious time.
The hospital director immediately thanked him. "That's enough. We only ask for this much. Thank you, Mister Felix. "
Of course, he had more requests, but he was not in a hurry to mention them now.
Felix was also happy. He sped up a little and said, "I'm about to reach the fixed position. What was Ling Ran's previous position like?"
Felix moved his body a little. He performed the surgery here because he wanted to learn Ling Ran's skills. He could not do things that were too detailed and complicated, but he could always copy it.
The hospital director chuckled and moved away. He watched Felix and the others try hard to imitate Ling Ran's position with the help of the video and the assistant's reminder. He did not say anything else.
Felix's surgery was quite slow. Sometimes, he had to stop and think about it before he started. Even so, there was no one missing from Felix's operating theater.
As the world's top cardiovascular surgeon, Felix's skills were much better than Department Director Kang and the others. His brand was also so strong that it was terrifying. Even though he said that he was learning Ling Ran's skills, there were still so many doctors who came to watch.
As the saying went, the more one knew, the more fearful one would be. Only those who did not know how to paint still lifes would scoff at oil paintings. Only those who could not write properly with a pen would criticize cursive calligraphy. Only those who barely graduated from three universities would look down on the Cleveland Heart Center.
If humans were viewed as a group of products, a cardiovascular surgeon like Felix was definitely a product beyond six sigma. He was a data point with a large standard deviation.
And the doctors from the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of Yun Hua Hospital already knew that they were within the range of the curve.
However, watching doctors like Felix still gave them a chance to move up the curve.
The hospital director waited quietly for Felix to finish the entire surgery before he invited him for dinner.
Felix refused without hesitation and said, "I want to watch Doctor Ling's surgery."
After he said that, he took off his surgical gown and prepared to go out.
Department Director Lei quickly said, "Doctor Felix, Doctor Ling is resting today."
"Impossible." Felix smiled. "I've been watching Doctor Ling's surgeries for a few days. He almost never rests."
Felix was not surprised by Ling Ran's desperate behavior. With such great skills, how could he do it without putting in a lot of effort? Moreover, it was normal for young doctors to work hard in hospitals in the United States. There were many doctors who worked 110 or even 130 hours a week, so much so that various labor unions urged for restrictions.
Department Director Lei could only say helplessly, "The three of you have performed so many surgeries in the past few days. The ICU and special care units are all full. Even if Doctor Ling wants to operate, there are no more beds."
In fact, even without Felix and Karen, Ling Ran could have filled up all the hospital beds in the past few days. And according to the normal procedure, he could have gone out for freelance surgery at this time. However, even if the whole hospital knew about this, Department Director Lei did not dare to be disobedient.
Felix understood, but a disappointed expression flashed past his face. He immediately said, "I want to discuss the medical records of the past few days with Doctor Ling."
He was naturally not interested in the hospital director's invitation for dinner.
Department Director Lei and the others could not stop him, so they followed behind Felix. Then, they saw Felix blocking Ling Ran in the waiting room.
"Doctor Ling, do you have time to discuss the medical records?" Felix's attitude was as sincere as an overage student.
"Is there a problem?" Ling Ran sat down and put on his shoes. He looked up at Felix.
A young intern nurse could not hold it in anymore. She rushed to Ling Ran's side and squatted at his height. She said, "I'll help you tie your shoelaces."
"Take her away!" An older nurse who passed by waved her hand, and a few people came forward and dragged the young intern nurse away.
Felix took a breath and said in a low voice, "There's no problem with the surgery, but I have some ideas that I want to discuss with you."
"I'm going home now. If you want to talk, come with me." Ling Ran nodded and agreed. He still gave a plan that would not waste time.
Felix quickly agreed and walked in front of Ling Ran. He paused a little cautiously to maintain a relatively safe distance before he left with Ling Ran.
Everyone in the room watched the two of them leave and discussed among themselves.
"This Felix is actually quite cool. He should be quite rich."
"He's quite good when he's alone."
"Yeah, Doctor Ling thinks too highly of me … Huh, they're going out together at this time. Are they going to eat together? And they're going home for dinner. This … doesn't conform to the group rules, right? "
"Yeah, even if they're men … I heard that foreign men are all very perverted! We should follow them and protect Doctor Ling. "
"Are they going to Lower Groove Clinic? Ah, I've been wanting to go for a long time. "
A few nurses discussed among themselves and disappeared. However, the hospital director's expression changed slightly. He muttered to himself, "Yeah, Ling Ran's family even opened a clinic."
