Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s
Chapter 2115: On the Importance of Being Thick-Skinned
In any advanced medical country, the mortality rate can be as high as fifty percent. For patients like these with Level Four heart function, the mortality rate is expected to definitely exceed fifty percent.
A group of people was walking when Doctor Shilei appeared ahead and said to everyone, "Director Zhang is here. I heard that Teacher Du is waiting for everyone in the conference room."
There is a small multimedia conference room in the VIP section.
Upon hearing that Zhang Huayao was waiting there, they took a turn and walked over.
Shilei pushed open the door.
At one end of the long table, Zhang Huayao sat there, one foot’s shoe slightly raised, and his left hand was flipping through the medical records resting on his right thigh. Hearing the sound, he turned his head to see the visitors, raising his thick eyebrows, his mouth curling like a hook into a faint smile. He greeted the guests, saying, "Teacher Du, you’re here, have a seat, have a seat."
Zhang Huayao has many nicknames, some call him King Yama Zhang, others King of Vicious Talker, or Old Evil Zhang, Old Monster Zhang.
Du Haiwei always remembers that this person, like him, came from Guoxie. Unlike his choice of Beidu, Zhang Huayao’s departure was known by everyone for its sensational nature.
The main reason was that Zhang Huayao was a well-known genius. When a genius betrays alma mater, he is definitely going to be scolded by everyone.
For Zhang Huayao to dare enact "betrayal," he must be thick-skinned enough not to fear being talked about behind his back.
Thinking about this, Du Haiwei was convinced that this person was definitely thick-skinned. He sent him a consultation request and told him directly over the phone that Guo Zhi Hospital had just helped him by taking over a patient and cleaning up after him. It left Old Du with no choice but to come.
Like other gynecology and obstetrics doctors at Beidu Third Hospital, Du Haiwei really wishes that other departments at their hospital could develop so they wouldn’t always have to ask others for favors. Asking for favors comes with a cost.
This is how it is in the medical field, exchanging personal favors. The problem is, trying to get a favor from Zhang Huayao comes at a much higher cost than most people imagine.
"Director Zhang." Du Haiwei sat down nearby, unafraid of speaking directly, "This patient should have terminated her pregnancy."
"Right. You’re correct. But, don’t think I tricked you, Doctor Du," Zhang Huayao said.
What does that mean?
Sitting across, Du Yeqing smiled silently, helping Zhang Huayao explain to Du Haiwei, "Teacher Du. Here’s how it is. Initially, when this patient sent her medical records to Director Zhang from overseas, she wasn’t in her current state. She said she wasn’t pregnant and planned to return to China to have surgery before preparing for pregnancy. Unexpectedly, when the patient arrived at our hospital, Director Zhang saw she was visibly pregnant."
It’s common for patients to deceive doctors. Like this kind of patient who purposely downplays their condition and presents false information to doctors. Doctors can only curse in their hearts. The patient is sure that doctors must maintain credibility. Once they accept the patient, it’s hard to refuse treatment.
Aren’t they afraid the doctor will say they can’t treat the disease?
Such patients are truly not afraid. They know that the chosen doctor’s skills are exceptional. As long as they accept, they will surely do their utmost to treat her, fearing damage to their reputation as doctors.
Du Haiwei rubbed his hands together. Now, in this situation, it was imaginable that Zhang Huayao and his team were in a catch-22 and dragged him, Du Haiwei, along. Contemplating, Du Haiwei asked, "Director Zhang, do you have any plans?"
