Faulkner came to Yun Hua with the intention of performing surgeries.
If it were not for surgery, who would spend so much money to hire him? Faulkner was very clear about his own value.
He was not the kind of surgeon who was extremely talented, famous, and could make a lot of money just by doing consultations. At least in Mayo Clinic, Faulkner was not outstanding. Even when he left Mayo Clinic, Faulkner could not be said to be very famous.
If he had, he would have left Mayo Clinic a long time ago.
Mayo Clinic's fixed salary system was just pocket money for those surgeons who had become famous and had even written books about it.
For these surgeons, Mayo Clinic was a platform for them to achieve self-realization. The pursuit of success and self-challenge were the goals of these talented geniuses.
Faulkner had always thought that he would eventually step into this field, under the premise that his financial problems were solved … Until he got a divorce, started paying alimony, and saw his wife spending his money with a second-hand car dealer who was 20 years younger than him …
"Bring me to your operating theater first," Faulkner requested.
He really wanted to make money. If Yun Hua Hospital was really forced into a situation where he had to perform the surgery himself to save the patient, it would naturally be great for him to reluctantly perform the surgery and earn a lot of money according to the contract …
However, the premise of everything was that the surgery could be successful.
If the other party really made a situation where he had to perform the surgery himself to save the patient, and he performed a failed surgery, it would not just be a joke, but also a scandal.
Hospital Director Bo looked at Faulkner, smiled, and said, "Mister Faulkner, you're too professional. However, the operating theaters are quite busy now, and it might not be very convenient."
He was not from Yun Hua Hospital, so he did not want to do this.
Faulkner insisted, "The preparation of the operating theater is the first priority. I also want to try the instruments and equipment."
Entering someone else's operating theater temporarily and performing a surgery to his heart's content was very demanding for both parties. In reality, it was more likely that he would lack something. If he did not prepare the surgery according to the doctor's habits, he might have to wait for the nurse to bring a pair of large curved forceps over, but he would have to stop and wait for the anesthetist to touch his foot.
Hospital Director Bo was now sure that there was a misunderstanding, so he could only emphasize again, "Mister Faulkner, our surgery plan has been confirmed. Doctor Ling will be the chief surgeon. As staff officers, your main task is to check for any mistakes …"
He had said this sentence in Chinese, but the translators had spent two whole minutes trying to translate the words "fill in the gaps" in English and German, which was a good reflection of the average level of quality and high quality translation.
Faulkner smiled. "It's the right choice to use a young doctor from China who has some fame as the chief surgeon."
Hospital Director Bo sighed. "Whatever you say."
In any case, his job was done. People like Faulkner were Lao Yongyong's fault to begin with.
Faulkner continued to ramble on in English, "I often come to Asia, so I know your tradition, especially in East Asia. The young have a tradition of taking responsibility for the old, right? This is called respect for the elderly, right? I really like your tradition. At our age, young people really need a little more respect … "
The translators were interpreting in real time, and they were a little busy.
Hospital Director Bo glanced at the translators in disdain and thought, 'You don't even know how to respect the elderly and love the young, and you dare to ask for a high price? It's so easy to earn money. Should I resign and become an interpreter?'
…..
Operating Theater 1 of Yun Hua Emergency Medical Center.
After the renovation, Operating Theater 1 was now the largest operating theater in Yun Hua Hospital with the most advanced equipment. Even doctors from other departments would often come to Huo Congjun to borrow the operating theater when they wanted to perform a public surgery.
For the nurses and anesthetists, it was inevitable that they would face many problems when they worked in Operating Theater 1. The first problem was that the black box in the operating theater had been broken. Every step and every movement that everyone made could be recorded and seen by others.
Although there had been no lawsuits or punishments since the establishment of Operating Theater 1 in Yun Hua Emergency Medical Center, who knew what would happen?
For the doctors and nurses who were already adults, even if there was only the possibility of losing face, no one was willing to admit it.
However, in the face of Operating Theater 1, which was worth more than ten million yuan, ordinary doctors and nurses really did not have the right to speak. Everyone could only work obediently and always be alert that there might be old men and troublesome women above them!
When Hospital Director Bo brought the three foreigners into the visitation room, the preparation work downstairs had already been completed.
Faulkner was not very satisfied with the tight schedule, but the patient's preoperative examination and consultation were done very well. Faulkner only lowered his head to look at the information and quickly familiarized himself with the situation.
The sound of heavy breathing could be heard from the communicator.
Then, there was a commotion in the visitation room.
Faulkner subconsciously looked up and saw a doctor with a good figure, good looks, good temperament, and very handsome walk into the operating theater.
"You didn't find an actor to act, did you?" Faulkner looked at Hospital Director Bo in surprise. In an instant, he muttered to himself, "That's impossible. If there's such an actor, he will soon become famous. What did he do?"
"This is Doctor Ling," Hospital Director Bo answered, a little amused.
"So … are you going to sacrifice him? Did he offend someone? Hmm, you don't need to translate this sentence. "Faulkner knew that Hospital Director Bo knew English, so he wanted to gossip in English.
Hospital Director Bo chuckled. "There is no sacrifice."
"Oh, I understand, I understand." Faulkner said, but he still could not help but sigh. He then said to the two foreign doctors beside him in English, "East Asians are often cruel, especially to their subordinates. A failed surgery may not be a big deal to them."
Dobin from New York glanced at Faulkner calmly. He did not intend to take action. The invitation he received and the appearance fee he received were all based on the standard of appearing in the operating theater.
But Colbert, the German, looked down solemnly and said to Hospital Director Bo, "If you don't plan to carry on with the surgery, you have to be extra careful at the beginning of the surgery, and you have to abide by the tumor-free operation."
Colbert and Hospital Director Bo could be considered old friends. He had come to China more than five times, and he always had the idea of taking action if necessary.
What could Hospital Director Bo say? He could only nod and agree. After all, it was better to have a few spare tires than none.
When Hospital Director Bo thought of his little girlfriend, he suddenly understood her a little more.
"Let's start," Ling Ran said from downstairs. Ling Ran said from downstairs. Then, he bent down slightly and made a long, long, long incision on the patient's abdomen.
And in the eyes of the three foreigners who had just arrived, they could only curse in their hearts.
It's okay if you don't know how to perform the surgery, but don't cut blindly!
