Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 478 - 389: Ruan Liuzheng Dreams of Becoming Lin Qiaozhi

Chapter 478: Chapter 389: Ruan Liuzheng Dreams of Becoming Lin Qiaozhi

It was also because of that incident that the medical software Anesthesia Assistant, developed by Zhao Heng and Wang Yaoqing, was able to smoothly enter the procurement lists of major hospitals.

"This Director Sun is from the planning department, in fact, it is the Planning and Finance Department. Let me put it this way, Xiao Zhao, not only in North City, but for all large public hospitals nationwide, procurement and applications for large medical equipment go through this department."

Huang Jincheng explained.

These internal structures are generally difficult for the average person to understand.

The main responsibilities of the Planning and Finance Department are to draft medium- and long-term development plans for health services, promote regional health planning work, coordinate and plan the allocation of national health resources, manage the configuration of large medical equipment, recommend policies on medical service pricing, drug pricing, basic medical insurance expense settlement, and organize the drafting of national health equipment management methods and standards, as well as related norms for drug and medical device procurement.

Here, we must emphasize the key point.

Here comes the question. After saying so much, for hospitals, what is the most significant influence of this department, especially at present, for Huang Jincheng and Zhao Heng?

[Coordination of planning and nationwide allocation of health resources, management of large medical equipment configuration]

Yes, it is this point: previously at the Yanjing University Medical Department, Huang Jincheng and Zhao Heng were very focused on the construction cost of over one hundred million for the 7.0T ultra-magnetic nuclear magnetic resonance, along with the corresponding 3D modeling software. These large-scale equipment, to put it bluntly, all require approval from Director Sun.

"So that’s how it is."

Zhao Heng nodded in understanding, realizing why Huang Jincheng and the hospital dean were so polite to Director Sun; there was a reason for it.

Modern medicine is deeply dependent on medical instruments, especially large-scale medical equipment.

Advanced large-scale medical equipment is like a sacred weapon in the hands of a great knight; no matter how profound one’s skills are, a good weapon is needed.

As a public hospital, the purchase of large equipment requires approval, and once approved, there are special funds allocated for purchasing the equipment.

Although top doctors earn a decent income, equipment costing over a billion is not something an individual can afford to solve.

With smart people, there’s no need to say much; with Huang Jincheng’s simple mention, Zhao Heng understood.

After leaving the obstetrics department, Zhao Heng and Liu Meng returned to the ward.

Liu Meng entered the office and saw Ruan Liuzheng seriously writing medical records.

"Senior, you’re back."

Ruan Liuzheng looked up with a smile when she saw Liu Meng return.

"Yes."

Liu Meng nodded. Seeing Ruan Liuzheng’s demeanor, it seemed she wasn’t too concerned about the matter, perhaps she was overthinking it.

"Were there a lot of big names at this pre-surgery discussion meeting?"

Ruan Liuzheng asked.

"Not many, just Director Zhou from obstetrics, Director Huang from cardiothoracic, and the dean."

Liu Meng slowly said.

"These are all major experts."

Ruan Liuzheng exclaimed with a face full of envy; she studied medicine precisely because she wanted to become a nationally renowned expert like them.

Like the obstetrics director Zhou Hong, who is almost the ultimate dream and role model for all female doctors.

Female doctors who can reach the level of Zhou Hong are very few compared to male doctors!

"Especially Director Zhou. Back in school, I heard many people mention her. Director Zhou has won the Lin Qiaozhi Cup award."

After a pause, Ruan Liuzheng said with a look of admiration.

As a fellow female doctor, Lin Qiaozhi is the doctor Ruan Liuzheng admires most and aspires to be, without any exceptions!

Obstetrics Director Zhou Hong is the only obstetrics and gynecology doctor at Eastern Hospital to have won the "Good Doctor in Obstetrics and Gynecology - Lin Qiaozhi Cup." Nationally, this award named after [Hundred-Year Famous Physician] [Mother of Ten Thousand Infants] Lin Qiaozhi is almost the highest pursuit of all obstetrics and gynecology doctors in the country, representing the highest level in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.

She,

who never married or had children,

successfully delivered over 50,000 new lives,

was respectfully called the "Holy Mother of Medicine"!

She,

successfully performed China’s first neonatal hemolysis surgery,

reduced China’s infant mortality rate and maternal mortality rate by 300%,

was named one of the 100 people who moved China since the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

She,

is the founder of modern obstetrics and gynecology in China,

the first Chinese obstetrics and gynecology director at Peking Union Medical College Hospital,

the only female academician in the inaugural session of the Chinese Academy of Sciences,

——Lin Qiaozhi!

In the eyes of all obstetrics and gynecology doctors, Lin Qiaozhi is like a founding ancestor.

"Director Zhou is very impressive, but if you like her so much, why didn’t you choose obstetrics?"

Liu Meng asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Senior, Eastern Hospital is so big; it’s not so easy to join any department I wish."

Ruan Liuzheng replied with a slightly helpless smile.

She was able to join the Anesthesia Center because it was newly established and required staffing; unlike established departments like obstetrics, which are even harder to secure positions in compared to the Anesthesia Center.

"Why don’t you mention it to the director and ask him to talk to Director Zhou to see if you could be transferred to obstetrics?"

Liu Meng couldn’t resist suggesting.

"I’ve only been with the director for a short time; would it be overstepping to make such a request..."

Ruan Liuzheng was tempted but felt it might be a bit sudden.

After last night, Ruan Liuzheng realized that if she truly wanted to make substantial progress professionally, perhaps following Zhao Heng might not be the best choice.

Between a mentor and a student, there is a teacher-student relationship, and if other elements are mixed in, it becomes complicated.

Moreover, following the type of doctor she dreams of becoming, namely, Director Zhou Hong of obstetrics, would be the best for Ruan Liuzheng from all perspectives.

"For director-level doctors, such matters are just a sentence away."

Liu Meng smiled and said.

"If you’re hesitant, I could bring it up for you."

After a pause, Liu Meng added.

In fact, Liu Meng had noticed Ruan Liuzheng’s behavior over the past few days; in just a few days, there was a feeling of entrapment. If it continued any longer, with the added teacher-student relationship, it might conclude unfavorably for everyone involved.

Even if there were to be developments between the parties, they would need to detach from the teacher-student relationship first.

"Alright."

After thinking it through seriously, Ruan Liuzheng finally nodded.

Soon, Liu Meng went to Zhao Heng’s office, where Zhao Heng was taking a break to browse his phone, mainly checking fan messages and comments on Bilibili. He’d almost forgotten he had a video account with hundreds of thousands of fans on the platform.

"Director?"

Liu Meng tentatively spoke upon seeing Zhao Heng engrossed in his phone.

"Dr. Liu? What’s up?"

Zhao Heng raised his head and casually asked upon seeing Liu Meng.

"Director, here’s the thing..."

Without beating around the bush, Liu Meng relayed Ruan Liuzheng’s wish to transfer to the obstetrics department to follow Director Zhou Hong.

"That’s a good thing; I’ll talk to Director Zhou. However, I suspect that Director Zhou won’t easily recruit someone; there will likely be a probation period. The standards in obstetrics are even stricter than in the center."

Zhao Heng pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Alright, I’ll let Dr. Ruan know; she’ll be very happy."

Liu Meng nodded.

Zhao Heng agreed so readily, without any hesitation, that Liu Meng felt she was probably overthinking.

"Director, does obstetrics also have quotas for resident retention?"

After a pause, Liu Meng asked again.

"Yes, but the requirements for obstetrics are even stricter, and the difficulty is very high."

Zhao Heng shook his head slightly as he spoke.

In a previous meeting, he and Zhou Hong talked about this issue. According to Zhou Hong, if a trainee or visiting doctor wants to secure a resident retention quota in obstetrics, their level must at least meet that of a veteran attending obstetrician to be worthy of being an exception.

Such a standard is exceedingly high; the skill level of a veteran attending doctor from Eastern Hospital could easily qualify them as a department head in a regular city-level third-class hospital.

Given that level of competence, why would someone need this quota to start as a resident doctor at Eastern Hospital?

It’s worth noting that if one truly secures a retention spot, the professional title starts from the position of a resident physician.

Soon, Liu Meng returned to the office and relayed the information to Ruan Liuzheng, who was exceedingly pleased.
