178: General practitioners? Top three hospitals will introduce such talents!
Chapter 178: A General Practitioner? Would a Grade A Tertiary Hospital Recruit Such Talent!
“Senior Sister, I’m not late, am I? Lin Yi’s matter…”
Just as Director Cui was organizing the Expert Professors present, preparing to go to the Emergency Department operating room to observe Lin Yi’s surgery.
Fang Zhuqing rushed to the multi-functional hall and anxiously went to Director Cui’s side to ask, “The matter has been resolved perfectly. Little Notebook vomited blood and fainted, and was sent to another Hospital…”
Time was tight, so Director Cui could only briefly explain what happened. After all, many experts on site were invited by Fang Zhuqing to support Lin Yi. Regardless of whether they played a role or not, Director Cui had to remember this favor.
“It’s good that it’s resolved. I was afraid I wouldn’t make it in time.”
“Senior Sister, what are you all doing…”
Fang Zhuqing, letting out a long breath, looked at the crowd in the multi-functional hall and asked.
Under the orderly guidance of the Hospital staff, everyone was clearly going to participate in some important event… “Lin Yi has taken on an emergency surgery for a gallbladder cancer patient. I’m about to organize the experts to go observe it. Junior Sister, would you like to come along?”
Director Cui extended an invitation to Fang Zhuqing. With her influence in the Long Province Medical Community, she would play a very important role in spreading the word about this matter.
“gallbladder cancer surgery, is Director Qiu of your Hospital’s General Surgery Department performing it personally, Professor Fang, what do you think…”
Before Fang Zhuqing could speak, a middle-aged man in his fifties standing beside her quickly spoke up and asked.
“Oh! My mind, I get confused when I’m anxious.”
Fang Zhuqing lightly patted her forehead, muttered to herself, and then quickly introduced the two parties.
“Senior Sister, this is Professor Zhong Wei from the General Surgery Department of Chang'an Jiaotong University Affiliated Hospital. He is the most famous Department Director of General Surgery in the Northwest Five Provinces of China…”
“Director Zhong, this is Cui Jin, Vice President of Central Hospital, the Hospital’s most elegant female Professor…”
After Fang Zhuqing’s introduction, the two sides shook hands and exchanged a few pleasantries.
They were all well-known figures in the medical field of the Northwest Five Provinces; their names had been heard before, but they had never met in person… “Professor Zhong, the doctor performing the gallbladder cancer surgery today is Dr. Lin Yi, our youngest Emergency Department Doctor. It’s perfect that an Expert Professor like you is here to help guide the work.”
After the pleasantries, Director Cui also extended a formal invitation to Professor Zhong Wei.
If Lin Yi’s achievements in the field of gallbladder cancer surgery could be recognized by this famous Department Director of General Surgery in the Northwest Five Provinces, it would be the most important step in spreading his reputation.
Even the Central Hospital’s reputation in the field of General Surgery would reach a new level… “Emergency Department Doctor’s surgery, and it’s gallbladder cancer surgery?”
A big question mark appeared deep in Zhong Wei’s heart.
In any Grade A Tertiary Hospital, this level of surgery is usually performed in the General Surgery Department.
And in Zhong Wei’s memory, among all the Hospitals in Long Province, it seemed that only Director Qiu Lixin’s General Surgery skills could handle this gallbladder surgery… “Guidance is absolutely out of the question. Director Qiu Lixin of your Hospital also has many areas in General Surgery that are worth learning from.”
“Thank you, Director Cui, for the invitation. It is also my honor to be able to observe a surgery of this level, like gallbladder cancer, on site…”
Although there were still many doubts, seeing the hurried pace on site, Zhong Wei also knew that it was not the time to delve deeper.
He then exchanged a few polite words with Director Cui and went to the Emergency Department with Fang Zhuqing… “Professor Fang, is this Dr. Lin Yi very famous in Long Province? Why have I never heard this name?”
While waiting for the elevator, Professor Zhong Wei couldn’t help but ask Fang Zhuqing, whom he was very familiar with, in a low voice.
To be the chief surgeon for a gallbladder cancer patient, this level of surgical skill would definitely be a prominent presence in the General Surgery field of the Northwest Five Provinces.
And in the ranking of medical standards in the Northwest Five Provinces, Long Province’s overall strength was second only to Shaanxi Province, where he was located.
It might be understandable if he didn’t know about outstanding medical talents in other fields in Long Province, but for a doctor in the General Surgery Department who could perform gallbladder cancer surgery, Zhong Wei had absolutely no reason not to know… “Lin Yi… ah… he probably isn’t very famous in Long Province either. It’s perfectly normal that Professor Zhong doesn’t know him…”
Facing Zhong Wei’s inquiry, Fang Zhuqing stammered for a long time before she could only give an ambiguous answer.
After all, if her daughter hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t have known about this doctor’s existence at all!
What’s more, for Professor-level doctors like them, who would normally pay attention to a young doctor who graduated with a bachelor’s degree and studied General Practice Medicine?
Under normal circumstances, community and Town Health Centers are the best destination for these grassroots doctors.
Lin Yi’s rise in a Grade A Tertiary Hospital like Central Hospital was purely an accident… “Let me put it this way, Professor Zhong, three days ago, I hadn’t heard of this Dr. Lin Yi either.”
“Before this morning, I would never have believed that a young doctor like Lin Yi would have the surgical technique to completely eradicate gallbladder cancer.”
“Graduated with a bachelor’s degree, and a General Practitioner, it can only be described as a miracle…”
Seeing Professor Zhong Wei’s obvious disbelief, Fang Zhuqing had no choice but to tell the truth, pouring out everything she knew and heard.
With her decades-long friendship with Zhong Wei, there was no need to hide anything… “Graduated with a bachelor’s degree? And a General Practitioner…”
Zhong Wei, who had just entered the elevator, let out a strange cry, drawing curious glances from those around him.
He could only give an awkward smile and apologize to everyone, then lowered his voice and whispered in Fang Zhuqing’s ear… “What was Central Hospital thinking, letting a young doctor with such qualifications perform gallbladder cancer surgery on a patient?”
“And with so many experts going to observe on-site, isn’t Director Cui afraid of a mistake leading to huge controversy for the Hospital?!”
Zhong Wei truly couldn’t understand Central Hospital’s approach.
Cultivating young doctors is indeed the best choice for any Hospital to maintain long-term competitiveness.
But he had never heard of any Grade A Tertiary Hospital using this method to cultivate them.
And a General Practitioner with a bachelor’s degree made it even more incredible… In Zhong Wei’s memory, the lowest standard for recruiting doctors in any somewhat reputable Grade A Tertiary Hospital nationwide was starting with a Ph.D.
What could a bachelor’s degree holder do in a highly specialized Grade A Tertiary Hospital? The General Practitioner specialty was simply not within the scope of talent recruitment for Grade A Tertiary Hospitals… “This General Practitioner named Lin Yi does indeed have his unique qualities.”
“I can’t explain it in a word or two. Anyway, we’re about to see his true colors, so we’ll know when we see it…”
Seeing that they had already arrived at the entrance of the Emergency Department, Fang Zhuqing ended her discussion with Zhong Wei.
After all, Fang Zhuqing had never personally seen the Dr. Lin that her daughter and Director Cui spoke so highly of.
Even if she wanted to introduce more about him, she wouldn’t know where to start.
