Chapter 931: Scissors
Had that young man grown to the point where he could teach surgeries to the best professors in the country? Pei Yingjie was a little puzzled. Although he had already mentally prepared himself before coming here, when he thought about it, he was still full of disbelief.
“If it weren’t for me stopping him, I’m afraid there would be more than this number of people now.” Chief Kong drove out of the airport and returned to the city unhurriedly.
Han Guangzhi suddenly said in a low voice, “Professor, there’s a live broadcast again.”
“Yes, we’re doing ten patients today, and two of them will be broadcasting the surgery live,” Chief Kong explained.
“Can the new TIPS surgery really be done so quickly? Can it be done ten times a day?” Pei Yingjie asked.
Not only did the success rate of the surgery increase exponentially, but the surgery time was also greatly shortened. For interventional surgery, this was an earth-shattering change.
The more knowledgeable the person was, the more skilled the person would be, and the more incredulous they would be.
Perhaps the layman would say that it was originally like that. However, this was just layman’s words. The people who had actually performed the TIPS surgery and the doctors who were troubled by the failure of the puncture would definitely not say such words.
“I didn’t believe it at first either.” Chief Kong smiled self-deprecatingly and said, “But isn’t this a surgery right under my nose? I’ll get used to it after seeing it a lot.”
“Have you learned it?” Pei Yingjie asked.
“Pretty much. But I’m old, and my technique isn’t as fast as Boss Zheng’s. Now, I need half an hour to perform a surgery.” Chief Kong’s tone had a kind of pride that was difficult to hide.
This was showing off a little too much.
A TIPS surgery in 30 minutes was still considered slow? Was this a joke?
Pei Yingjie laughed. He did not mind it. Instead, he turned his head and picked up Han Guangzhi’s phone. He began to watch the live broadcast of Xinglin Garden’s surgery.
Soon, he finished watching it.
“Old Kong, Boss Zheng’s surgery is really stable.” Pei Yingjie sighed.
“That’s right.” Chief Kong said happily, “I’ve watched twenty surgeries. They’re practically the same. There aren’t any special changes.”
To be able to perform a surgery to such an extent and treat portal hypertension as appendicitis, what kind of ability did he have?
Pei Yingjie sighed. When he thought of Jin Yaowu’s dispirited expression after he returned, he felt a little regretful.
This was a mental demon. If he could not overcome it, it was likely that Jin Yaowu would not be able to advance even an inch in his lifetime.
“Little Han, you’ve come at a good time,” Chief Kong said with a smile when he saw Han Guangzhi hurriedly take back his phone from Pei Yingjie’s hand. It seemed that he wanted to seize the time to watch the surgery live broadcast.
“Ah?” Han Guangzhi was stunned for a moment.
“After I learn it, I will also invite Zheng Ren to perform a few freelance surgeries at our place in a few days,” Pei Yingjie said with a smile.
“By the way, Professor Pei, did you know that something happened in the northeast a few days ago?” Chief Kong did not explain to Han Guangzhi but asked Pei Yingjie instead.
“Is it about running freelance surgeries?”
“Yes.”
Speaking of Zheng Ren and flying to the Sorcery Capital, both of them thought of something that had happened in the past few days.
A few days ago, a department of a hospital in a third- or fourth-tier city in Dibei province invited a professor from the Imperial Capital to perform surgery.
The money for the freelance surgery was all agreed upon and signed.
The surgery was very successful, but the patient’s family members refused to acknowledge it after the surgery. They insisted that this was a red envelope, which made the chief who hired the professor from the local area complain so much that his head turned into two.
Because the surgery was successful, the patient would be fine. This kind of ‘dispute’ would not blow up at all. In the end, the relevant department determined that the money was a gift. It had to be returned and the chief would be given a warning.
This matter had not yet spread, but it had already spread in the circle of professors who were qualified to do it.
“It’s a good system, yet you insist on causing trouble.” Chief Kong sighed. “There are only so many beds in the Imperial Capital. Do you have to squeeze into the Imperial Capital to see a doctor in the future?”
“There’s nothing we can do about it.” Professor Pei was very gentle. He just wanted to brush this matter off.
“In the future, Little Han and the others will be able to catch up to a good time.” Chief Kong continued, “Surgery, huh? We have to do it eventually. Now, we advocate more practice. In the future, all the doctors in public hospitals are below the level of attending physicians. If they want to ask you, Chief Pei, for surgery, they have to go to a private hospital.”
“Are you guys not allowed to leave here anymore?”
“Yes. I reckon that it won’t be open to the public for a long time,” Chief Kong said. “But who’s to say? I reckon that you’ll have to practice more. Otherwise, once the surgery is over, you’ll have a hard time.”
Han Guangzhi vaguely understood what Chief Kong was talking about. He smiled and said, “In the Sorcery Capital, the Professor’s account is in the hands of ticket scalpers. It’s already reached 8,000 yuan per account.”
“Is this a reflection of value?” Chief Kong said. “In the future, when you go to a private hospital, directly offer 4,000 yuan per account.”
“I’m not worth this price. I have the hospital’s brand to support me now. Our two old bones won’t be able to see that day. Guangzhi, if you study hard, there’s still hope.”
As he said this, Professor Pei was startled.
“Zheng Ren has a special number now?” he asked.
“No, I didn’t even let him out of the outpatient clinic,” Chief Kong said. “Two days ago, Cui Lao from the emergency department came to snatch Zheng Ren away from me. I pushed him back.”
“…” Pei Yingjie was speechless. The Emergency Department wanted to snatch Zheng Ren away?
“What’s there to go to the Emergency Department for? It’s so busy and tiring. I’m so busy that I don’t have time to do scientific research. I don’t even have time to date.”
“What did Zheng Ren say?” Pei Yingjie thought of the Emergency Department of Sea City General Hospital.
“I think this kid’s mind is active, but he told me very well,” Chief Kong said. “Two days ago, there was a patient with an upper mesenteric artery dissection. Cui Lao went to see Boss Zheng, and then he was admitted to the hospital for Boss Zheng’s surgery.”
“This is considered a gradual process.” Pei Yingjie smiled and said, “Old Kong, not only do you have to worry about foreign thieves, you also have to guard against domestic thieves.”
“I know. It’s really not easy to do something now.” Chief Kong said, “If we open Boss Zheng’s special number now, I dare to bid ten thousand for each number. Are you willing to come? After we win the Nobel Prize, each number will be a hundred thousand.”
“…” Han Guangzhi was stunned.
“Before the New Year, I went to Xiangjiang to exchange ideas. A chief of gastrointestinal colonoscope would do forty thousand for once, and only do it for fifteen days a month. After that, during dinner, he said that he didn’t need to earn more than thirty to fifty million Hong Kong dollars a year. The rest of the time, he still had to spend time with his family, play golf, and go on a yacht.”
“When can we do this?” Han Guangzhi’s eyes were bright.
“Don’t talk nonsense. Not only in my life, I think you will have a hard time in your life,” Chief Kong said with a smile. “When I went there, I saw a few young doctors protesting.”
“Protesting about what?”
“Their income of sixteen hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars a month is too little for them.”
“…” Han Guangzhi was speechless. He really did not know why the difference in value would be so big.
