Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 493 - 396: Successful Development of siRNA Colloid Beam, Ma Xiaochen Survives Close Brush with Death! (Part 2)
"At present, the treatment is going well. If it continues, there’s a great hope for a full recovery."
Zhao Heng nodded and said.
By saying this, he was already being very clear. As for saying it’ll be a 100% recovery, no professional doctor would claim such a certainty.
"Thank you, doctor, thank you."
Ma Xiaochen’s face was full of gratitude. Having grown up pampered, after falling ill, he lived every day in fear and torment. Sometimes he’d wonder why someone like him, a perfectly healthy rich kid, would get such a terminal illness?
Was all the wealth he enjoyed exchanged for his health?
If so, he’d rather not have it!
"In the future, try to adjust your mindset and cooperate with the treatment."
Zhao Heng said gently.
"Mm, mm."
Ma Xiaochen nodded repeatedly. Having endured the torment of illness, now that he could see hope for recovery, his only thought was to cooperate well with the treatment and definitely get better.
Once he recovered, he would do some of the things he wanted to do but never did before.
After leaving the ward, the hospital director and Gao Jun came to Zhao Heng’s office together.
Zhao Heng made coffee for the two bigwigs and himself before sitting on the sofa.
"Xiao Zhao, your office is nice, and you even have freshly ground coffee."
Director Liu Shangming took a sip of coffee, smiled, and said to Zhao Heng.
Liu Shangming earned his doctorate abroad, so he liked to drink coffee, especially freshly ground ones. The taste might only be slightly better, but the feeling was very different.
"Where did you buy this coffee machine? Maybe I’ll get one too."
Having paused, Liu Shangming casually chatted again.
For Liu Shangming to become director, it was unexpected yet reasonable. Generally speaking, no one at Eastern Hospital would have the slightest objection to him being the director. After all, he was more than qualified.
However, the previous director managed the hospital like a sealed bucket, so people didn’t think the non-political Liu Shangming could become the director.
Therefore, Director Liu Shangming now really needed reliable allies, and Gao Jun was naturally his best ally at the moment.
And since Zhao Heng was Gao Jun’s only student, it was natural for him to be considered part of this group.
No matter where you are, where there are people, there will be factions and circles; this is unavoidable.
In something as small as a four-person girl’s dormitory, four people can have three WeChat groups.
"Director Liu from Neurosurgery gave it to me; I don’t know where to buy it."
Zhao Heng said.
"You young people seem to have pretty good relationships."
Liu Shangming smiled and said.
They were all young talents, rising like comets, and it was something Director Liu Shangming was glad to see.
"What’s next on your agenda?"
After a pause, Liu Shangming asked with concern.
He was very interested in Zhao Heng’s current plans.
After this period, he also noticed that Zhao Heng was very skilled at tackling tough challenges, a rare quality.
Whether performing surgery on a fetus or treating Ma Xiaochen’s late-stage brain tumor, these were situations ordinary doctors would shy away from, but Zhao Heng seemed to find a feasible way out of the impossible, then conquer it step by step.
This is a profound Unity of Knowledge and Action; at least among the people Liu Shangming knew, he hadn’t seen anyone as good at tackling hard problems as Zhao Heng.
Having such talent under one’s command is what all leaders dream of.
"Let’s focus on developing the center first."
Zhao Heng thought for a moment and said. The Anesthesia and Perioperative Center had just been established and was in a rapid development phase. Moreover, it was an excellent platform, one that doctors his age would not typically have access to in other hospitals.
Besides, Gao Jun was largely hands-off. Essentially, Zhao Heng had the final say at the center, so he needed to develop it well from every perspective.
"Not bad, proceed step by step."
Liu Shangming nodded approvingly. Clinical practice needs to be approached gradually. Compared to peers, Zhao Heng’s pace was like riding a rocket; now he needed to slow down and consolidate and accumulate knowledge and skills.
"It’s time to cool down now, especially this time around; the attention is too much. Take a break and finish the PhD first."
Gao Jun also took a sip of coffee and nodded in agreement.
He also knew that at Zhao Heng’s current level, he surpassed most PhD advisors. Getting a PhD was just a formality.
But this step couldn’t be skipped.
Recently, Zhao Heng continued to attract high attention. Wherever Gao Jun and Director Liu Shangming went, people would ask if their hospital was the one with the doctor treating the richest man’s son as soon as they mentioned Eastern Hospital.
Such attention and scrutiny aren’t necessarily beneficial for a doctor.
Perhaps celebrities need attention, but doctors generally don’t need this kind of heat or publicity.
"Yes, I think so too."
Zhao Heng nodded. He wasn’t a celebrity influencer; he didn’t need such attention. Even when he was making short videos, it was solely for medical education.
"I heard you bought a house?"
Gao Jun suddenly asked.
He’d been busy lately and only casually heard about Zhao Heng buying a house.
But buying a house at North City No.1 Courtyard surprised Gao Jun a bit.
"Yes, I just bought it."
Zhao Heng replied.
"Did you buy furniture?"
Gao Jun asked again.
"I’ve already chosen."
Zhao Heng said.
"Hmm... you’ve already bought the furniture."
"You don’t have a car yet, right?"
Gao Jun pondered briefly and said.
"A car?"
Hearing Gao Jun bring this up suddenly, Zhao Heng was a bit confused.
"Originally, when you bought your house, I was planning to give you some furniture, but since you’ve already picked it out, I’ll just have to get you a car."
Gao Jun smiled slightly and looked at Zhao Heng.
In his life, Zhao Heng might be his only student. Although it’s modern times, and the teacher-student relationship isn’t like the parent-child one of the past, in the medical field, the bond between teachers and students is still quite strong, often lasting a lifetime.
"What? A car? Professor, let’s forget about it. A car is too extravagant."
Hearing Gao Jun’s offer, Zhao Heng immediately responded without thinking.
In this society, to give each other cars signifies a significant relationship.
"It’s just a car. You’re a beginner; start with one around 200,000 and give it a try." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Gao Jun said with a chuckle.
With his background, when he was a senior anesthesiologist at Eastern Hospital, earning six or seven hundred thousand a year was just pocket money.
Gao’s family’s influence is something most people can’t even imagine.
Even by totally normal means, Gao Jun never lacked for spending money.
We’ll skip further discussion on that.
A car worth more than 200,000 was nothing to Gao Jun.
For young people, a 200,000 or so car as a daily driver is adequate.
Zhao Heng is a doctor; driving a sports car might be too flashy.
Take Xu Man Ni, for instance. Although she’s wealthy, she drives a 300,000-plus electric sports sedan.
"Xiao Zhao, this is a token of your teacher’s goodwill, just accept it. For your teacher, a wealthy man, 200,000 is nothing."
Director Liu Shangming also smiled and said.
Even this mogul, who holds multiple patents and has assets worth over a billion, calls Gao Jun rich, so Gao Jun must be quite wealthy.
Someone with this level of wealth, who could remain a stable anesthesiologist for so many years, speaks to the success of his family’s upbringing.
But for someone with Gao Jun’s background, things others enjoy only after becoming rich, he experienced from a young age, so material wealth wasn’t paramount.
As they grow up, such people often value other things more.
