After listening to the whole story, Du Haiwei concluded, "If this patient had come to see Director Zhang earlier and told the truth, none of this would have happened today."

Not lying to the doctor gives the doctor more leeway in planning for the patient, avoiding the current passive situation.

On one hand, it’s due to misunderstandings. The patient originally thought that domestic doctors, no matter what, couldn’t compare to foreign doctors, and it wasn’t a matter of skills, but the courage of the doctors. Medicine is a field that requires a lot of courage. Foreign media often promote pioneering new surgeries abroad, not only praising their exquisite skills but more importantly, highlighting foreign doctors’ willingness to strive for patients’ needs. This significantly affects patients’ and families’ perceptions of doctors.

Patients and their families didn’t expect that this time it was actually the domestic doctors who had the skills and guts to take risks, while the foreign doctors backed down.

On the other hand, this patient truly is a bit reckless. So reckless that even the foreign doctors couldn’t handle it. Wanted to get pregnant just like that, without even considering discussing it with the doctors beforehand.

Du Haiwei asked again, "Why did Director Zhang accept this patient?"

Ignoring other reasons, doctors taking on patients who hide the truth is asking for trouble. Zhang Huayao is a smart person and unlikely to make such a foolish move.

It’s true that Zhang Huayao wouldn’t engage in a losing deal. Du Yeqing revealed the transactional insider information: "To be honest, the other side agreed to donate an operating room to our hospital, and the money would be transferred to our hospital’s account."

Wow! Hearing this, the people from Beidu Third Hospital collectively gasped: Oh wow, you at Guo Zhi Hospital, took the money and got weak at the knees.

It shows that rich people can indeed act recklessly, and money can make things happen.

How much did they receive?

The donation was for an operating room? It must not be an ordinary one. The cost of a standard clean operating room is about eight hundred thousand to a million.

For the rich, it’s just a drop in the bucket, not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.

Zhang Huayao is good at extorting people; at the very least, it should be a composite operating room for the new building at Guo Zhi Hospital, right?

The crowd quickly received confirmation from Du Yeqing. The patient’s family donated a composite operating room, equipped with the best imported equipment from abroad, with an estimated total cost of twenty million.

Ah!!! The doctors from outside the hospital felt a crazy pang of jealousy. Although the Beidu Third Hospital Maternity Department was very famous, they never dared to imagine receiving such a large donation.

No wonder people from Guoxie secretly curse Guo Zhi Hospital as a cash cow, saying it’s a specialty hospital with great money-making ability.

The maternity department is important, but it doesn’t hold a candle to the critical nature of cardiac surgery.

This is a reality that has to be faced in clinical practice: There’s a real difference between departments.

This is also the reason why Du Haiwei was compelled to accept Zhang Huayao’s "coercion."

Du Mengen adjusted his glasses and pouted: Today’s events were an eye-opener for him, learning that even a lucrative obstetrics department can’t compare to cardiac surgery in terms of profits.

Geng Yongzhe was relatively composed; earning money isn’t as important as being a doctor who can protect his younger brother and mother.

From the start, Xie Wanying knew that cardiac surgery was lucrative, but, like Student Geng, nothing was more important than protecting the health of family.

Is the donation money important to Guo Zhi Hospital? Extremely important.

Most domestic hospitals are public, serving ordinary citizens with limited profits. The annual government allocation for public hospitals is just a drop in the bucket. The nation has many financial burdens, and funding public hospitals is low on the government’s spending list.
