Chapter 875: Something Does Not Feel Right
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Early next day with a barely risen sun, Wei Jiayou freshened up and sprayed some Hermes Eau de Gentiane Blanche before going to the hospital’s cafeteria for breakfast.
As soon as he got a bowl of hot soy milk, Wei Jiayou picked up a piece of deep-fried dough stick. Before he could dip it in, the sound of the helicopter’s propeller came from the air.
“Hospitals these days are so rich. Helicopters could fly here from day to night. Whereas for us, we’ll always be emptying our pockets when we go to the hospital.” The diners next to his table were dissatisfied with the disturbance as they complained about the situation while drinking soy milk.
Wei Jiayou glanced at the other side and ignored them. People who drank soy milk instead of dipping deep-fried dough sticks in it were not worthy of respect.
“Boss, I’ll pay with WeChat.” Wei Jiayou finished eating quickly, wiped his mouth, and went to the hospital after paying for his meal. When he entered, he saw a lively scene.
The hospital will never be lacking patients and their families, but there were a lot more medical staff than what he usually saw, but he did not know whether they were reinforcements or whether all the medical staff in the hospital had gathered together.
Wei Jiayou grabbed a young resident doctor and asked, “What kind of patient was just delivered by helicopter?”
“It’s Yunli Medical Company’s helicopter. I think they’re just sending over an instrument.” The resident doctor’s face was full of obedience, fully hiding his inner anxiety and complaints..
Wei Jiayou said, “They sure are rich. Say, is Yun Hua Hospital ready to settle down here or something? The instruments are delivered in batches.”
“It’s financial leasing, so we’re really just borrowing the equipment. I don’t think it’ll cost a lot of money if we return it after using it, right?” The resident doctor looked innocent and cute, but no one knew whether it was real or whether he pretended to look that way.
Wei Jiayou chuckled. “Are capitalistists all synonymous with philanthropists now?”
But even though he said those words, he still released the resident doctor and ran to the outpatient department.
His application for equipment had been sent through his senior brother. By then, once they sent over some specialized instruments and he borrowed some existing equipment in Bazhaixiang, the equipment and instruments for laparoscopic hepatectomy should be ready.
Among these, what Wei Jiayou wanted the most was a fully automatic high-flow pneumoperitoneum insufflator, a high-definition camera and display system, easy-to-use ultrasound equipment, and adjustable laparoscopic ultrasound probes…
If possible, Wei Jiayou even wanted to get an anesthetist he was familiar with…
However, these were only needed during surgery.
And if he wanted to perform surgery, he must first have a patient!
Without peers introducing patients to him, doctors will have to mainly rely on outpatient consultations and the Emergency Department to get patients.
No matter how great Wei Jiayou was, it would be difficult for him to show his capabilities without patients. When he was in Beijing Hospital, Wei Jiayou did not have to worry about such things. Now that he came out here himself without a powerful person supporting him, he had to make preparations himself.
This was one of the reasons why Academician Di allowed him to come out. He had already gone on a show of force, and Wei Jiayou had already gained his fame. Now, Wei Jiayou had to experience firsthand how to use that fame to get what he wanted.
Part of the reason why Wei Jiayou did not go straight to tertiary Grade A general hospitals was because of consultations.
Patients who went to the tertiary Grade A general hospitals usually had higher requirements, especially in the local tertiary Grade A general hospitals. Since there was not much of a difference in price between a specialist slot and a normal slot, the older specialists were basically the ones who can receive all the patients.
For young people like Wei Jiayou, it was difficult for them to gain trust, and it was even more difficult for him to gain the trust of patients who needed surgery.
In contrast, patients visiting Bazhaixiang hospital branch would not care about the age of the doctors as much. On one hand, Bazhaixiang hospital branch was always a hospital in a village, and those who would come for consultation would not have major illnesses. On the other hand, there were a total of only two full-time doctors in Bazhaixiang hospital branch. If there was anything commendable about them in terms of their medical skill, it would be that these senior doctors could often prescribe cheap and amazing cold medicine, and the expectations of the people toward them were only about that much.
Wei Jiayou found the office a.s.signed to him and turned on the computer with familiar ease.
As an outpatient clinic, this was nothing new to him. If Bazhaixiang hospital branch used the electronic medical record system, he may need to familiarize himself with the system, but if they were just using paper medical records, it would not be much of a hindrance to him.
“It sure came fast.”
“Yunli Medical Company’s so efficient.”
“Is it really because it’s Yunli Medical Company? It’s because Doctor Ling is great.”
Wei Jiayou heard the continuous discussion in the hallway and could not help but frown. He then stood up and walked to the door.
“What were you guys talking about?” Wei Jiayou wanted to sound friendly, but his tone was still haughty.
“We were just talking about the new machine that Yunli Medical Company has just delivered,” a young doctor replied.
Wei Jiayou remembered the question he asked when he entered the hospital, so he asked, “What machine is it?”
“A high-definition camera, high-throughput pneumoperitoneum insufflator, ultrasonic knife or something…” the young doctor whispered.
“A set of hepatectomy equipment.” Wei Jiayou interrupted the young doctor and said slowly.
The young doctor did not say a word. He was just a houseman who followed the helicopter and flew over here together with the medical consumables to run some errands. He had so many menial and small tasks to do that he can’t even be bothered to be an onlooker.
“Where are the machines placed?” Wei Jiayou hurriedly asked.
“Waiting to be sent into the operating theater, I guess” said the young doctor. ‘I mean, where else could it go?’
“Okay,” Wei Jiayou said, and he did not even return to the office. He opened the door and went to the operating theater.
He did not want to go too fast so as not to show his impatience.
“Ginseng is here.” As soon as Wei Jiayou entered the surgical corridor, he heard a familiar female voice inside.
Female surgeons were still very rare in a hospital. Wei Jiayou did not even need to spend time thinking, he already conjured up the top of Yu Yuan’s head in his mind.
“Bring my Red String of Fate,” Lu Wenbin shouted purely out of humorous purposes, but opened the door himself.
“I hear that your equipment has arrived.” When Wei Jiayou saw the situation, he decided to be blunt and voice the purpose for his visit.
“It’s being configured.” Lu Wenbin gave way, like a door panel being pushed aside.
Wei Jiayou nodded and stepped in, and he saw a row of seven or eight men in white clothes standing or kneeling around while they were busy with work.
Wei Jiayou could not help but look at Yu Yuan.
“Doctor Ling asked for them to come as soon as possible,” Yu Yuan explained without him asking.
“A helicopter can’t carry so many people, yes?”
“Yeah.” Yu Yuan felt that there was no need to give an answer to that question.
Wei Jiayou exhaled long and heard. “Pharmaceutical sales companies these days are so generous.”
“As long as the doctors can successfully complete the surgery, it’s okay for us to work a little harder.” Tian Qi, also dressed in white, came over, but her aura was so powerful that she could not be ignored.
Wei Jiayou glanced at Tian Qi, and his throat instantly seized up. He originally had his speech prepared, but he could not say it now.
“Is there enough manpower?” Tian Qi asked the engineers who were working hard.
“No problem.”
“We’ll definitely be able to complete our task as scheduled.”
“It’s going smoother than we expected.”
The engineers started talking, and they looked excited.
Now, Yunli Medical Company was reborn. Not only was its stock price surpa.s.sing what it was worth during its heyday in the past, it was still increasing aggressively. The engineers did not have many opportunities to meet its legendary director, Tian Qi.
Tian Qi nodded slightly, looked at Wei Jiayou again, and smiled. “Is the request for your equipment going smoothly, Doctor Wei? Do you need help?”
If someone else had said that to him, Wei Jiayou would definitely think they were mocking him. At least, when he spoke like this, he would definitely be mocking someone.
However, when he looked at Tian Qi’s expression, Wei Jiayou only shook his head and gave a smile. “It went well, and it should be delivered as scheduled.”
“That’s good. Doctor Ling’s workload is too much. I hope that Doctor Wei can join in as soon as possible.” Tian Qi greeted everyone before leaving the operating theater with a cheerful smile.
When Wei Jiayou saw her leaving and thought about what she said, he felt that something did not feel right.
