Chapter 71: Not sure about surgery?
In fact, Director Miao did not leave, but stood at the door.
Soon, the door opened, and the family members came out, holding briefcases, looking embarrassed, and whispered to Director Miao: "Old Miao, please take a step to speak."
The family members are very familiar with Director Miao. Cervical spondylosis and lumbar disc herniation have always troubled Director Miao. Otherwise, they would not have trusted Director Miao so much this time and left the matter to Director Miao to handle.
Director Miao glanced at the office. Director Tian was leisurely and contented, drinking tea, and two young people were playing with their mobile phones. He couldn't guess what was going on.
Director Miao took the family members to the doctor's duty room. When he saw no one was there, he closed the door and found a bed to sit down on: "Don't worry, what happened just now? Sit down and talk!"
The family member was also sitting by the bed, his face flushed from suppressing the pain, and he took out a tissue to wipe his sweat: "Old Miao, I don't want the consultation fee, and I won't accept it either alive or dead. Is there some misunderstanding and you want me to find you?"
Family members can tell whether it is a real rejection or a symbolic pushback. If a business person can't see this, then his rice is in vain.
The family members felt uneasy, and their original confidence was suddenly shattered: "Old Miao, did the professor just see my brother and feel that he is not sure about the operation, so he dare not ask for the consultation fee?"
Thinking of the congenital heart disease mentioned by the professor, I became even more nervous and panicked. Could it be that heart disease affects the operation? Increased risk for surgery? Anyway, the more I think about it, the more confused I become.
The family members have no doubt about Professor Tian's ability. He has been in the business field for more than 20 years, and he has no say in observing words and deeds. In the scene in the ward just now, even if you are not a medical student, you can tell from the changes in the expressions on the faces of the doctors watching that Professor Tian's level is definitely high, not ordinary.
Besides, I have been friends with Director Miao for many years. With the promise that money is not an issue, how could Director Miao just hire a professor casually? You can understand this after a little thought.
The only explanation is: The condition is too serious and there is no hope of recovery. Who dares to charge you for consultation? You should treat it as voluntary labor.
If the money had been collected, the family members would be happy and secure now; but now that the money has been confiscated, they would feel at ease, as if they were beating a drum.
"Old Miao! I'm a little panicked. What should I do? You have to help me with this. I'm just a younger brother. Is my condition so serious?" The paper used by the family members to wipe sweat was crumpled into a ball.
Flying a knife to remove acupuncture points is a very considerable income for the surgeon.
There are two types of flying knife. One is that doctors go out privately to other hospitals to perform surgeries, and then receive a certain amount of remuneration according to the agreement, commonly known as consultation fees. This is a bit of a sideline, but it is very common and the hospital also acquiesces.
Another kind, like Dr. Tian’s flying knife, has Shipo People’s Hospital issue a formal consultation application form to the Sanbo Hospital Medical Office, and the Sanbo Hospital Medical Office records and approves it. This is aboveboard, legal, reasonable and reasonable.
As for the price, it was agreed upon by both parties. There was nothing to say. The price of the professor's surgery was clearly marked.
Director Miao touched his chin, pondered for a long time, suddenly remembered something, and said to the family: "You may be overthinking it. If you can trust me, please give me the money and I will give it to you."
"Old Miao, what are you saying? Why can't you believe it? You didn't handle the old man's rectal cancer surgery properly last time. It's not too late to thank you. To be honest, in my brother's situation, If you transfer to a provincial hospital for surgery, there are no risks on the road. Once you get to the provincial capital, the cost will be several times higher. There are no acquaintances, and you can't even wait for a bed. You can only drag a seriously injured patient around. You helped me a lot by asking Professor Tian to perform the surgery this time. My whole family is really grateful." The family member was very sincere. He took out three bags and told Director Miao, "This belongs to Professor Tian. These two are assistants.”
Director Miao took a pen from his white coat, circled the bag for Director Tian, and wrote the words "Professor Tian" to show the difference and avoid giving it to the wrong person later.
After such urgent discussions, things finally came to a plan. Hearing what Director Miao said, the family members felt relieved again. As long as the professor was willing to accept the consultation fee, it meant that the surgery was very safe.
As the head brother, everyone in the family, young and old, is watching. No one will say you have worked hard when the job is done. If anything goes wrong, everyone will blame him.
Director Miao sent the family member out of the duty room to reassure him, and went to the ward to wait for the operating room to pick up the patient.
Looking at the time, it was time to eat, and then he went to the director's office and asked Director Tian: "Professor Tian, shall we go have lunch?" Director Tian took another sip of tea and said, "Let's go, eat early and take a rest."
Yang Ping and Song Zimo put away their mobile phones.
Lunch is arranged in the Xiaozao Restaurant in the hospital canteen. Although it is a few small dishes, it is also carefully prepared.
Director Miao said: "We will make do with it at noon, and then go out to have a good gathering in the evening. Dean Dong will also attend in the evening, and he said that he must thank you. Director Han has given us great support in orthopedics over the years. You see, these days, In 2009, our department of orthopedics went from being mixed with general surgery to becoming a separate department, and now it has expanded to 90 beds. It is all thanks to Director Han’s help that we are what we are today.”
Director Tian said: "You should work hard yourself. Who doesn't know that your business skills and management level, Director Miao, are outstanding? If you can't do it yourself, Director Han can't help you. Several other counties have also hired hospitals from the provincial capital." Support, why are there no results?”
Director Tian is round on the outside and square on the inside, and his words are very helpful.
Higher-level hospitals and lower-level hospitals, and doctors from higher-level hospitals and doctors from lower-level hospitals, are all mutually beneficial cooperative relationships.
The doctors below have established a good relationship with the professors at the superior hospitals. If they encounter problems in daily life, they can ask the professors for advice; if it doesn't work, they can ask the professors to fly over to help with the surgery; when developing new technologies, the professors will take the lead; and it will be much smoother if someone has someone above them to evaluate professional titles. .
Anyway, there are many benefits.
As a higher-level hospital, the reason why there are so many patients is because there are so many trainees. These doctors are the backbone of the department after their studies. If they have complicated patients that cannot be handled, they are sent to the hospital where they studied. They have studied there, are familiar with them, and are easy to talk to.
I don't know whether they were hungry or because they thought the food in the small county town had a unique taste, but the few of them were very full.
Director Miao looked at his watch and saw that there were still two hours left. He drove them to a hotel opposite the hospital to get a room and rest. He would wait for the surgery to start at two o'clock and then come to pick them up.
A few people slept for a while in the hotel to recuperate their spirits. Surgery is a mentally and physically demanding thing, especially such a major surgery.
Two hours later, Director Miao called. The patient had been sent to the operating room and anesthesia was started. He was now coming to pick him up.
Take Director Miao's car to the hospital and follow him into the operating room.
Director Miao was very enthusiastic and helped with hand wash clothes, hats and masks, and asked the head nurse to get the keys to the cabinet.
In the dressing room, Director Miao took out three envelopes from his bag and stuffed them into Director Tian: "Thank you for your hard work, you three. This is the consultation fee our hospital gives you."
Director Tian pushed back slightly.
Director Miao said: "Why are you so polite? There will be many places where I need to help in the future. I can't let you run away for free."
Director Tian immediately accepted it and handed it to Song Zimo. Song Zimo put it back in his bag, then opened the cabinet with Director Miao's key and locked it in the cabinet.
"I sent photos of the equipment last time," Director Miao said.
"Well, I've seen it, no problem, that's all." Director Tian had already changed his clothes.
After putting on hand wash clothes, masks and hats, everyone followed Director Miao into the operating room.
