"Recently, there have been some new developments in Sea City. When faced with their objections, I explained these developments. Later, everyone came to a consensus and decided that Dr. Zheng would be the chief surgeon," Chief Kong said.
Chief Yan's interest was immediately piqued, but there was no expression on his face. He only picked up the teacup and used the lid to blow away the water vapor.
He was not in a hurry to drink the tea. Instead, he took a whiff of the tea's fragrance.
"I'm old and don't like many things. Drinking tea is my only hobby," Chief Yan faintly commented.
When Chief Kong heard this, he immediately sat up straight with a serious expression.
Based on his understanding of Chief Yan, he was afraid to act too proudly in front of him. By keeping the chief in suspense, he had already made him unhappy.
"After Dr. Zheng returned to Sea City, he began to study the new TIPS surgery technique. His thesis will be published in the latest issue of the New England Journal of Medicine."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-studio_16489637605120805/the-health-care-group%E2%80%99s-collective-decision_50340031591665372 for visiting.
"Oh? He's so young but is already getting his thesis published in such a renowned magazine. That's not bad." Chief Yan nodded and took a sip of his tea.
"That's just the beginning," Chief Kong said. "He is studying with Dr. Zheng... Or rather, he's the research assistant of Professor Rudolf Wagner of Heidelberg University Medical Center. The professor is a top scientist and technological talent in the field of interventional surgery. It's reported that he's currently working on submitting the new surgical method for TIPS surgery to next year's Nobel Prize judging panel."
"Huh?" Chief Yan and Deputy Director Yuan's hands froze for a moment.
Other things were fine since publishing papers and the like would not attract the attention of many chiefs and directors in hospitals around the country.
However, the Nobel Prize...
That was a big deal!
Even if he could not be awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine, a candidate's identity was worth paying attention to.
It was no wonder that the comrades in the Health Care Group would collectively agree.
"Chief Kong, what do you think?" Chief Yan was shrewd. He instantly thought of countless things but did not say much. Instead, he only looked at Chief Kong with a reserved gaze.
"My idea is that a talent like Dr. Zheng should stay in our hospital," Chief Kong said firmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately felt that there was something wrong with his tone, so he repeated, "He must stay in our hospital!"
"Yes..." Chief Yan fell into deep thought.
Deputy Director Yuan chuckled and said, "He's that young doctor who saved Fang Lin, right?"
Chief Kong nodded.
"That young man is not bad. I think it should be fine." Deputy Director Yuan nodded.
"Definitely," Chief Yan agreed cheerfully after pondering it for a few seconds.
The final decision was at the hands of the Head Chief. If he did not agree, it would be a waste of time for both Chief Kong and Deputy Director Yuan.
Chief Yan also knew that this was an opportunity for Chief Kong to report this matter to him.
However, it was unlikely that he would disagree. After all, he was a Nobel Prize candidate. In the future when Zheng Ren became famous, it was likely that he would not be able to rope him in.
At this moment, it was a good opportunity for them to meet.
Chief Kong did not relax because of the first chief's agreement. He frowned as if he had something difficult to say.
"Chief Kong, if you have something to say, just say it." Chief Yan also did not understand. Usually, Chief Kong was not the kind of person who would hold back from saying something. What was going on today?
"Chief Yan, when Doctor Zheng first completed the prostate interventional embolization, I asked him if he wanted to come to our hospital but Dr. Zheng did not agree."
Hmm? A doctor from a city-level hospital should not reject the call of the top tertiary grade-A hospital in the country.
What was the problem? Was it the treatment or the position?
Chief Yan and Deputy Director Yuan looked at Chief Kong and waited for him to continue.
"I was also curious. After that, I sent Professor Rudolf Wagner to Sea City. The Emergency Department's Chief in Sea City General Hospital was an old doctor in our army. He used to be the chief of a high-level ward in the military region. He and Dr. Zheng have a very close relationship. They're like father and son," Chief Kong said slowly.
"Old Chief Physician Pan was determined to raise the level of the emergency department in Sea City and made sure to protect the local community," Chief Kong said. "Later, I also inquired about some relevant situations. Dr. Zheng rejected my invitation probably due to Chief Physician Pan."
"interesting. He seems to be one of our people." Chief Yan nodded. He crossed his hands and twirled his thumbs together.
After hearing Chief Kong's analysis, he definitely agreed with it.
The people who went out of the army were all the same. They always wanted to do something, such as supporting the local construction and other silly martyr things.
Society was becoming more and more impetuous, but the soldiers could not conform to these changes.
He did not expect that a young doctor who was not even thirty years old would actually give up the opportunity to come to the Imperial City due to the unrealistic dream of helping the community. This was rare and valuable.
"What do you think?" Deputy Director Yuan asked Chief Kong.
"At the beginning, I thought that it wouldn't be good to burst his bubble," Chief Kong said. "Since Little Zheng has such thoughts, fulfilling his wish is also fulfilling the efforts of our old comrades in the army."
While saying this, Chief Kong smiled bitterly.
"Most importantly, Chief Physician Pan is getting old and won't be able to work for much longer. I was thinking that when Chief Physician Pan retires completely, it would be too late to bring this up again.
"However, I didn't expect him to grow so quickly. It's only been a few months, and he already wants to compete for the Nobel Prize. If he doesn't make a move soon, I'm afraid that the difficulty to branch his wings further will increase exponentially in the future."
"Mhm." Chief Yan's eyes narrowed as if he were falling asleep. However, under the office desk where others could not see, his two thumbs were fiddling with each other faster and faster.
"I have some big ideas about what we can do. For example, we can simply take over Sea City General Hospital," Chief Kong said.
"That's impossible" As expected, this idea was instantly rejected by Deputy Director Yuan.
"Then we can only send people to support them in the name of supporting the community." Chief Kong thought for a long time before finally throwing this idea out.
Hearing this suggestion, the eyes of the two other men lit up.
"That sounds good!" Chief Yan made the decision. "Let's help old comrades and solve the worries of a younger one. This is a good idea!"
Chapter 520 - Our Temple Is Too Small
At the Provincial Capital in the hospital attached to the Medical University and at the Director's office.
Chief Lin of the Medical Affairs Department was trying to coax him.
"Director, this young doctor in Sea City is really impressive." Chief Lin said with a sad face. "The preferential policies that our hospital has issued to invite more talents in the past are really not enough."
"What do you mean by not enough?" The director responded angrily, "What do the housing prices look like nowadays? A doctor who hasn't even advanced to deputy director and you want me to give him a 100-square-meter house in the Provincial Capital! What are you thinking!?"Find

Chief Lin felt bitter in his heart but could not say anything.
"Director, Dr. Zheng casually helped us with a big favor. This kind of talent..."
"Old Lin, don't think so much about stuff like this." The director sat on his reclining chair and crossed his legs as he said, "He's not the only one who needs to be considered. If we give an attending physician such good conditions, what will happen to the others? Throughout the years, we haven't been able to keep our own doctoral students. It's already a stroke of luck for a junior attending physician who graduated from an undergraduate program to be able to get in. Do you still want a house?"
Chief Lin really had nothing to say.
Normally speaking, what the Director said was right.
Once he relented, graduate students and doctoral students who graduated from the Provincial Medical University would plead for more opportunities and benefit, quoting Zheng Ren as an example.
See, even a small attending physician from Sea City can enter this hospital, so why can a doctor hailing from generations of doctors not be able to do the same?
Such words would simply wear down one's ears.
Chief Lin felt helpless and he refuted helplessly a few times. In the end, he could only walk out of the Director's office resentfully.
Perhaps, a spot in the Provincial Capital's interventional department would be enough?
He had expectations in his heart.
As the Medical Services Chief, personnel matters had nothing to do with him. He did not personally know Zheng Ren.
He only cherished talents and felt that it was a pity for such a promising young doctor to stay in Sea City.
That was all he could do to remedy the situation, Chief Lin thought to himself.
He had not planned to give Zheng Ren a house in the Provincial Capital. This condition was only a bargaining chip.
It would not be difficult for him to get him a spot if he rejected it.
However, Zheng Ren's education was not considered of a high enough quality and he was also very young. Should he lead a group? Or would he need to be under an expert doctor's tutelage for a few years?
Chief Lin walked out of the office building, a smug smile appearing on his face.
He wanted to poach Dr. Zheng over. Not only would he repay the favor he had done for him, but he would also guarantee him a spot in the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University.
It was the best of both worlds.
Chief Lin was very happy. It would all be worth it.
He fished out his phone and dialed a number.
"Old Gao, I just came out of the Director's office.
"No, I have some good news to tell you. Guess what I went to do?
"You only know how to perform surgeries. Were you stunned after watching Teacher Zheng's video?
"Yes, I just finished talking to the Director and asked if he could be added as a staff member. Yes! A staff member. It's official!
"What?
"Wait a moment, I'll go to your place."
After saying that, Chief Lin hung up the phone.
The smug expression on his face just now disappeared without a trace.
Was it not enough if he was a staff member that was able to enter the Provincial Capital's faculty of medicine? What was going on in Old Gao's mind!
Soon, Chief Lin rushed over to the intervention department and found Gao Shaojie who was studying the video.
"Gao, did you not understand what I said?" Chief Lin asked him.
"Chief Lin, I know you want to poach Teacher Zheng." Gao Shaojie's eyes were dark. He stayed up all night studying the 'course' that was Zheng Ren's TIPS surgery recorded on his phone.
It was as if he had returned to a time when he was still a teenager, fighting for his future and his ideals.
"But..." Gao Shaojie smiled bitterly. "Chief Lin, it's just as a staff member. I don't think it's enough."
"Huh?" Chief Lin was confused.
"I'm not sure about the details but it's just a feeling." Gao Shaojie was very careful not to mention that Zheng Ren had published a paper and was going to apply for the Nobel Prize in medicine.
What if Zheng Ren agreed?
He only cared about surgery and academics. If he spent too much time on other things, it would make him 'impure'.
"Working at the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University and changing your status in life isn't enough?" Chief Lin was puzzled.
However, looking at Gao Shaojie's expression, it did not seem like the other man was joking with him.
"Our temple is too small. I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate a Bodhisattva as big as Teacher Zheng," Gao Shaojie said as he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose.
Speechless, Chief Lin felt as if countless alpacas were running around in his mind.
Was Old Gao joking with him?
The 'temple' of the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University was small, but Sea City General Hospital was considered big?
That was utter bullsh*t!
"Chief Lin, it just so happens that I'm going to Sea City. Do you have time? I suggest that you have a face-to-face talk with Teacher Zheng on such matters," Gao Shaojie said.
Chief Lin was displeased before he realized that Old Gao seemed to be trying to express something to him.
He was also very curious that a young man and a middle-aged scholar like Gao Shaojie could come up with a new surgical method even though he did not know what TIPS surgery was.
Dr. Zheng was definitely not someone simple.
Should he follow him to Sea City?
He had countless things to do on his side there were his responsibilities. It was really difficult to leave.
Chief Lin thought about it for a few seconds and said, "You go first. I'll find time to go to Sea City later on my own."
"Thank you, Chief Lin." Gao Shaojie expressed his gratitude sincerely.
Chief Lin waved his hand. "It's nothing."
He had already expressed his sincerity. Why was it still not enough?
..
..
In Sea City, Zheng Ren did not know that so many people were busy trying to get him to work for them.
He changed his clothes and sent a WeChat message to Xie Yiren. After making an appointment for dinner, he returned to the emergency ward.
The pre-operation instructions of the three patients were typed out one by one. It was only after Zheng Ren was done did he receive a call from the department to get the patient's family members to come and sign the form for him.
The young female patient in the emergency ward had a very intelligent fiancé who was also a very good doctor.
He knew all the complications such as nausea, vomiting, pain, and fever that would possibly occur after the liver cancer interventional surgery. He had even studied less common complications such as diarrhea and flatulence.
He also asked Zheng Ren if the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department in Sea City General Hospital would be able to perform acupuncture to solve such problems. (Note 1)
It seemed that this young man did not only have a good memory, but he also had a preliminary understanding and had done research on the disease as a whole.
This so-called medical treatment made sense to him.
Many patients usually had a deep understanding of their disease, which put most interns to shame.
Zheng Ren answered and gave details explanations for all his questions in the half an hour timeframe until the next patient's family members arrived at the doctor's office in the emergency ward. It was only during their arrival that he reluctantly left Zheng Ren alone.
..
..
Note 1: Chinese Medicine does make sense. Many pati
ents with liver cancer will experience abdominal distension after liver cancer intervention. There has been scientific research done on this in collaboration with the Chinese Medicine Department. Aiming at abdominal distension after the operation, Chinese medicine will use acupuncture to solve these issues. Its effectiveness is not too bad.
Chapter 521 - Miss Xie Yiren’s Express Delivery
Two men came in, impressing Zheng Ren.
They were the men from the day that Zheng Ren and Xie Yiren met on a date. They were the father of the patient with acute pulmonary embolism and...her boyfriend.
The two of them walked in together, seemingly confident. Zheng Ren could see a trace of intimacy between them?
It seemed like both father and son-in-law had strengthened their relationship?
Zheng Ren recalled the day when the boy knelt on the ground and cried out, confessing his true feelings.
Yes, confessing he was confessing how he felt to his father-in-law. This was also Zheng Ren's first time experiencing something like this.
However, now that he thought about it, Zheng Ren felt a little warm in his heart.
After letting the two of them sit down, Zheng Ren inquired about the treatment process.
Because the patient had an inferior vena cava filter, she was treated in the ICU and her condition gradually improved. However, because of the pregnancy, her coagulation function had been impaired. Later, she was transferred to the maternity ward to have an abortion.
Now, the patient had basically recovered from all her previous complications. All her test results had come out normal. It was now time to remove the IVC filter.
Zheng Ren explained the risks during the operation, making sure to spare no details for each and every one of them.
In fact, the risky period to remove the filter had passed and there would be no more risks. However, the medical industry was most afraid of complications that could not be explained by current technology and developments.
After all, even the most advanced technology could not be said to have a 100% understanding of the human body. Thus, complications were very common.
