328 A Scene That Transcends Time (1/2)
Huo Congjun wiped the small window where the spider plant and devil's ivy were placed in his office. He smiled and said, ”Everyone, I want to announce something. The Medical Affairs Department has confirmed that we will be receiving four medical applications. In the next few days, there will be four patients from Kenya, Ecuador, and Jamaica coming to our department to receive treatment. Everyone, make sure you buck up.”
Everyone applauded.
”They actually took the trouble to come to our country? Not bad.”
”This can be considered as bonus points, right?”
”We don't have many special patients coming to our Hand Surgery Department either, right?”
”Department Director Jin Xi has operated on a few before, but he's not doing those surgeries anymore.”
Huo Congjun smiled like a fox that was usually turned into a scarf in ancient times and said, ”All the four patients came for Doctor Ling Ran. I have to say, our Doctor Ling Ran is at the top of the world when it comes to the Achilles tendon repair technique.”
After that was said, Huo Congjun clapped his hands again.
Everyone in the department room also showed great cooperation by applauding as well.
Huo Congjun smiled. ”We are now at an important point in the process of upgrading our Emergency Department to an Emergency Medical Center. Once it is successful, everyone here will have more opportunities for promotion, in-service training, higher salary, bonuses, and other opportunities.”
The applause finally became sincere.
”So, we have to seize all the opportunities that we have. I also want to remind everyone here that Kenya and Jamaica are countries that are famous in track and field. The four patients who've come for treatment are their countries' pathfinders. If we can provide satisfactory medical services, there's a chance that we can form long-lasting collaborations…” Huo Congjun said very solemnly.
Doctor Tao, who was also a chief physician, also stood up at that moment and gave them an insignificant reminder, ”When Department Director Huo speaks of medical services, he is not only talking about surgeries, but also all aspects of the perioperative process. Everyone, put your heads together and increase our department's ability to compete with others…”
Department Director Huo let his supporting character finish speaking before he called out to Ling Ran, ”Doctor Ling, you should also tell us about the entire sequence of our international medical treatment plan.”
”Oh,” Ling Ran stood up as if he had been called by his teacher and said, ”I met some foreign doctors during my participation in the International Sports Orthopedics Research Conference in Shanghai. At the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center, I operated on several foreign athletes and sports enthusiasts—”
”What a waste.” Department Director Huo sighed and waved his hand before he said, ”Take your time, I won't interrupt you again.”
Ling Ran then continued, ”This time, I received replies in the form of emails from six doctors, and they intend to send their patients to Yun Hua Hospital for surgical treatment. I responded to the emails with related requests. Two patients failed the tests and expressed their unwillingness to continue the tests. So—”
”Wait a second…” Huo Congjun's expression changed. ”You rejected two foreign athletes to come and seek treatment in our hospital?”
”One's an athlete, and the other one should be a non-professional athlete,” Ling Ran answered seriously.
”Department Director Huo, take a deep breath.”
”Department Director Huo, please take a seat. Have a drink.”
”Old Huo, calm down, we can talk about this.”
Everyone continuously persuaded him to calm down. They were afraid that Huo Congjun would faint in the Emergency Medical Center right before it was established.
”Oh, Ling Ran…” Huo Congjun panted for a while before he said, ”The last time you mentioned the test, weren't they supposed to be given after the patients are hospitalized? Is it necessary to have prehospitalization tests?”
Ling Ran thought about it and said, ”It's necessary.”
”Oh… what happens after that? What's your reasoning for it?”
”Isn't it more unreasonable for them to come all the way, then be forced to go back if they fail the test after they're admitted into the hospital?” Ling Ran's words sounded like a refute.
Huo Congjun was stumped, and he found that his mind was a little too muddled.
By the side, Doctor Zhou said, ”Ling Ran, please take out the test and let us have a look.”
”Okay,” Ling Ran turned around to his computer and opened the test in the emails.
Huo Congjun and the others either consciously or subconsciously gathered together to take a look at the test.
Sure enough, they were very simple questions.
[The fixation on the leg after a patient receives Achilles tendon repair technique can be removed after three weeks, yes or no?]
[Those who receive the Achilles tendon repair technique require strict bed rest after surgery, yes or no?]
[During the postoperative period of the Achilles tendon repair technique, the patient can take painkillers when he or she is in great pain, yes or no?]
The English questions were a little difficult to comprehend when they read it, but they were not too difficult to understand either.
Huo Congjun looked at the questions in general and frowned. ”How could someone not be able to answer these questions?”
Doctor Zhou also said, ”It's just yes for all those things, right?”
