Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 458 - 380: The Greater the Turbulence?

After signing the contract, Jin Dong and his assistant left, while Zhao Heng sat in the chair, still contemplating the so-called high-end medical service.

Anyway, this consulting fee of 1.8 million per year is basically like getting it for free.

So, in any field, as long as you reach the top, making money is actually an easy thing.

Of course, reaching the top is one thing; in some industries, even just getting in the door is not a simple matter.

By now, Zhao Heng has almost fulfilled his pursuit of wealth. He was never someone with high material demands. Now, he has a house, and it’s in an excellently located school district. His annual salary and bonuses, software revenue shares, patent dividends, and this consulting fee add up to more than ten million a year.

For material enjoyment, this is more than enough.

Whether it’s luxury cars, mansions, or extravagant delicacies, they are all sufficient.

Besides, for Zhao Heng, luxury cars and mansions do not hold much allure.

While thinking about these, Ruan Liuzheng walked in from outside.

"Director?"

Seeing Zhao Heng deep in thought, Ruan Liuzheng thought he was pondering some world medical issue and hesitated a bit to disturb him, cautiously asking.

Since following Zhao Heng these past few days, Ruan Liuzheng felt energized every day, especially after Eastern Hospital’s other medical staff knew she was personally mentored by Zhao Heng, their attitude toward her changed somewhat.

This wide recognition made Ruan Liuzheng, who wasn’t originally very vain, feel a bit elated now and then.

Because of this, Ruan Liuzheng decided to seize this opportunity, determined to perform well and learn something real.

"What’s up?"

Zhao Heng, lost in thought, looked up when he saw Ruan Liuzheng come in.

Hmm, today she was unexpectedly sweet-looking.

Ah-hem, that’s not the focus here.

"Director, Director Zhou from obstetrics called, asking you to come over. It should be to finalize the surgical plan."

Ruan Liuzheng said as she looked at Zhao Heng.

"Got it."

Zhao Heng nodded, standing up.

Performing an aortic stenosis intervention on an unborn fetus is a first in all of Asia, so just finalizing the surgical plan would require several discussions to ensure perfection.

Moreover, the patient’s identity and background are unique, compelling Eastern Hospital to give it the utmost attention.

"Director, may I come along?"

Ruan Liuzheng looked expectantly at Zhao Heng, hoping to attend. The previous consultation was only possible for her to audit because Zhao Heng had invited her to go.

Such consultations, gathering the hospital’s top experts, are different from general case discussions. What is said and done are real techniques and high-end topics, generally not exposed to junior doctors too early.

"You’re my student; of course, you can go."

Zhao Heng casually gestured and said.

"Okay, Director."

Ruan Liuzheng nodded happily, her face blooming into a sweet smile. This smile was so comfortable, like a breeze passing over one’s face on a hot summer day.

Very refreshing and natural.

Soon, Zhao Heng led Ruan Liuzheng to the obstetrics consultation office.

Entering the office, Zhao Heng saw the cardiothoracic surgery director Huang Jincheng and attending physician Jiang Rui, along with obstetrics attending physician Fang He and Director Zhou Hong of obstetrics.

Seeing fewer people than at the previous large consultation, Zhao Heng knew that those present were likely the core team for this surgery.

"Director Zhou, Director Huang."

As soon as Zhao Heng entered, he greeted Huang Jincheng from cardiothoracic surgery and Zhou Hong from obstetrics.

However, seeing the stern expressions on both Huang Jincheng and Zhou Hong, along with the tense atmosphere in the office, Zhao Heng immediately sensed that there might be some new tricky situation with the pregnant patient.

"Director Zhou, has there been a change in the patient’s condition?"

As soon as Zhao Heng sat down, he couldn’t help but ask.

As for this patient, to be honest, for a regular family, if the fetus already has severe heart problems and defects in the womb, they may choose not to keep the child.

After all, with serious heart issues in the womb, who can guarantee that the fetus will be able to grow normally after birth?

This is akin to a gamble for a regular family.

A regular family having an unhealthy child can have a significant impact on the family.

However, for a family with means, this isn’t an issue.

"The patient’s condition hasn’t changed; it’s the patient’s parents who rushed back from abroad, wanting to take the patient overseas for treatment."

Zhou Hong shook her head slightly and said.

"Given the condition of this pregnant patient, she likely isn’t suitable for a long journey abroad. Besides, foreign experience in fetal surgery might not necessarily surpass ours."

Zhao Heng frowned and said.

The wife of the head of the medical department fell ill, and they want to go abroad for treatment? Isn’t this a ridiculous scenario, akin to slapping oneself in the face? 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

If word gets out, people will ask if you don’t trust your management abilities or the domestic medical competence.

Do you lack confidence in the hospital that you personally oversee?

"That’s true, but the pregnant woman’s parents are very insistent, and the top leader is also troubled."

Zhou Hong said.

"People who’ve been abroad for a long time tend not to trust domestic medical technology."
