Surgery Godfather

Zhang Lin also didn't know where these so-called insider informations came from, but every time they were quite accurate. He indeed had a talent for gathering intelligence, being a doctor seemed to be a misstep.

Who doesn't know about the issues in the emergency department, everyone here who is either at the attending level or a senior resident has surely rotated through the emergency department. The emergency department is a mandatory rotation, and without going through its baptism, the rotation isn't considered complete. Therefore, no one is surprised, nor does it affect anyone's mood.

Doctors, actually, need to go through both psychological and physical challenges during their growth process.

Yang Ping took out his phone, with a missed call from Director Tian Yuan at the Overseas Chinese Building. Yang Ping called back, and Director Tian said he wanted to invite Yang Ping for a consultation as they were facing a difficult problem.

Director Tian is now the major director of the Overseas Chinese Building, which mainly provides top-end medical services for domestic and international Overseas Chinese. Besides the Overseas Chinese Building, Sanbo Hospital has also developed an International Building, also known as the International Medical Center, specializing in high-end medical services for foreigners, especially those from Europe and the United States.

Currently, due to limitations, the two VIP medical service areas are housed in one building. When the new larger building is established later, they will be separated, each having its own inpatient area.

On the phone, Yang Ping briefly understood the basic situation of the patient. The patient is male, twenty-six years old, suffering from congenital heart disease combined with severe heart failure. Currently, the only treatment method is heart replacement. However, the patient also suffers from pulmonary hypertension, which prevents the heart's blood from smoothly flowing to the lungs. Even with a heart transplant, this poses a huge challenge as the transplanted heart will be unable to withstand the high-pressure pulmonary circulation, causing the doctors from cardiac surgery to be very troubled, and they are eager to hear Professor Yang's opinion.

Currently, there is a somewhat serious lineup of patients waiting in the two VIP areas of Sanbo Hospital, as the hospital's reputation abroad is very renowned, attracting many wealthy individuals.

The hospital has to earn money from abroad, leveraging their technical advantages to earn money from foreigners, much like many large hospitals in the United States, they earn money from around the world, that's real earning.

Yang Ping glanced at the doctor's office, Xia Shu was advising a student on modifying the medical records, so he called Xia Shu: "Come with me to the Overseas Chinese Building for a consultation, a patient may need a heart transplant."

Upon hearing about the heart transplant, Xia Shu's eyes sparkled. He loved cardiac surgery the most and immediately put down his work, eagerly following Yang Ping for the consultation. Several graduate students also followed, as everyone loves to accompany Professor Yang for consultations, they learn a lot.

Yang Ping took Xia Shu to the Overseas Chinese Building, where Director Tian had been waiting.

Thinking back to when Yang Ping had just entered, he was a resident doctor in Director Tian's group, now he is a world-renowned scholar, such fast change!

Director Tian was also just a group leader in orthopedics before, now he is the major director of the Overseas Chinese Building.

Not everyone can be the major director of the Overseas Chinese Building, besides solid technical skills, one must also have extremely strong social skills, able to navigate smoothly, as the patients here are mostly wealthy and noble, ordinary people can't handle the scene.

Since coming here, Director Tian has adapted very well to this environment, quickly standing out and being promoted to major director of the Overseas Chinese Building. Previously, the Overseas Chinese Building didn't have a major director, just divided into internal medicine and surgery departments, which were parallel and independent, attesting on their own, not interfering with each other. Director Kong of the internal medicine, Director Zhuang of the surgery, they were both seasoned veterans for many years.

Later, the Overseas Chinese Building added an orthopedics department, Director Tian was appointed as the orthopedics department director, and with a boost from Yang Ping, the orthopedics department quickly rose, naturally leading Director Tian to be valued by the hospital.

Dean Xia intended to expand the scope of the Overseas Chinese Building by establishing a standard high-level medical service area, thus combining the three departments to form a VIP medical center, with Director Tian as the major director.

At the time, Director Kong and Director Zhuang were somewhat not convinced, but what kind of people are Director Kong and Director Zhuang, they are the shrewd individuals of Sanbo Hospital. They naturally wouldn't show these thoughts on their faces; despite their dissatisfaction, they quickly accepted the reality and strongly supported Director Tian's work. Now, the VIP medical center is developing very well.

Director Tian personally served the brewed tea to Yang Ping, and the physician in charge brought the medical records.

Yang Ping turned page by page. This patient is not too old, only twenty-six years old, so the family has a strong desire for heart transplantation. But there's a big problem that bothers him, pulmonary hypertension, the transplanted heart's right ventricle might fail to withstand the high-pressure pulmonary circulation, ultimately leading to a transplant failure. The doctors from cardiac surgery have also reviewed, and the family specifically requested a consultation from Professor Yang at the institute, leading Director Tian to inevitably ask Yang Ping to step in.

Director He Xiangjun and Deputy Director Xiang Changjun from thoracic surgery appeared at the doctor's office entrance, panting, their foreheads still sweating, obviously they ran here. Upon hearing Yang Ping had arrived at the Overseas Chinese Building, they hurried over, wanting to hear Yang Ping's opinion on this medical record.

The thoracic surgery department will be divided in the future, and cardiac surgery will certainly be separated. At that time, the cardiac surgery director will definitely be Xia Shu; this is something that goes without saying, the talent from the institute is world-class, no one dares to compete with him for the director position.

Director He knows his own limits, and has several times actively approached Yang Ping to request Xia Shu to serve as the cardiac surgery director. However, Yang Ping believes the time is not yet ripe, and Xia Shu's skills still require honing.
