Chapter 1614 The gossip at the National Hospital director's meeting (2)
Did keanta contact other independent directors? How could he be so fast? When he went abroad, he didn’t receive any news.
President Chris Johnson was a little startled.
There were nine independent directors and two internal directors on the Board of Directors of the Massachusetts General Hospital. However, independent directors generally did not participate in the decision – making process. Although there was an opportunity to hold a board meeting every year, no one had used this power for many years.
Was it because Sweden wanted to win a Nobel Prize?
Could it be that professor keanta had gotten some news?
President Chris Johnson quickly understood the “key” point and immediately said,””I agree with professor keanta’s proposal.”
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be relieved.
Hospital director Chris Johnson asked about the hospital Zheng Ren was at and started to communicate with the organizing committee to look for director Yan.
Director Yan sat in the front row, his face glowing.
When Department Director Kong poached Zheng Ren, he did not expect this kid to become a tenured professor at Massachusetts General Hospital.
The tenured professor system originated from the United States, and it was a unique aspect of American higher education. It was also an important part of the American education system. Its birth, development, and perfection reflected the importance and pursuit of academic freedom in United States society.
It was precisely because of this importance that every tenured professor spot was extremely precious.
It was only after death that the person could be replaced.
Tenured professorships would also add to the glory of the University.
Director Yan thought the Nobel Prize was too sensational, and he also noticed the tenured professor title.
He was a little troubled. Should he promote Zheng Ren to tenured professor when he returned?
912 still doesn’t have a tenured professor.
It was the truth that things were still precious. In China, there were tenured professors following the United States model.
However, the higher the level of the Institute, the more cautious they were.
For example,
Yan University only had one tenured professor, Ji Xianlin.
What about 912?
Being too capable was also a problem. Director Yan had originally thought that this matter would be brought up on the agenda after the Nobel Prize judging.
However, he didn’t expect Zheng Ren to not only be a visiting professor at Mayo but also be hired as a tenured professor at Massachusetts General Hospital.
What should 912 do now?
Nothing could be done.
If he didn’t do anything, there would be jealous people who would criticize him for being disrespectful and not valuing talents. What was the most important thing in the 21st century? He was definitely a talent!
But if he became tenured professor, what would happen to all the old academicians in 912?
Cui Lao from the emergency department and Gu Lao from the cardiothoracic Department were both well – known seniors in the country. They were academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the treasures of 912.
Director Yan quickly realized that this matter was particularly tricky. The little guy had given him another difficult problem.
What should he do next?
While he was thinking hard about a solution, director ye nudged director Yan and said,””Director.”
Director Yan looked up and saw the chairman of the organizing committee leading President Chris Johnson toward him.
Before the meeting, director Yan had thought that it was just an ordinary director’s meeting.
He would listen to others ‘speeches, give his own speeches, and then go home.
However, he had never expected a Silent Thunder to strike. That brat Zheng Ren had actually stirred up such a huge wave.
However, director Yan was an experienced person. She stood up with a smile and welcomed director Chris Johnson.
“This is director Yan of 912 hospital, where Dr. Zheng is working.” The chairman of the organizing committee introduced.
The voice was a little dry and monotonous, like the voice of an artificial intelligence.
This was not on the agenda of the conference. He knew the weight of a tenured professor at Massachusetts General Hospital, so he could now complete the process like a robot, which was already very experienced.
“Hello,” he said. Chris Johnson gave director Yan a warm hug and went straight to the point.”The Board of Directors at Massachusetts General Hospital has decided to hire Dr. Zheng as our tenured professor.”
Director Yan knew that he was being notified and not seeking his opinion.
He didn’t have the right to decide.
With a smile on his face, he began to chat with President Chris Johnson.
Hearing President Chris Johnson say this himself, all the Presidents behind him finally couldn’t bear it anymore.
The sounds of discussion were like a pot of boiling water, bubbling non – stop.
“Who is doctor Zheng?”
“It should be the Sorcerer who has been livestreaming his surgery in the apricot garden recently. He improved the TIPS surgery and won the Nobel Prize recommendation.”
“Why do I hear that it’s an internal Nobel Prize? The Nobel Prize can be internally decided?”
“You must have heard wrong. You see, Dean Chris …”
There was a lot of discussion. Whether it was the Nobel Prize nomination or the tenured professor at Massachusetts General Hospital, they all felt like they were far away.
On the other hand, director Yan of 912, who was usually high and mighty and unsmiling, was closer to her.
Ye Qingqiu was a little dazed. While director Yan and director Chris Johnson were talking, he quickly walked to the side and called Zheng Ren.
He hung up before the call went through. After thinking for a while, he still called Su Yun.
“Hello, director ye.” Su Yun was very polite.
“Su Yun, what’s with the tenured professor at Massachusetts General Hospital?” Ye Qingqiu didn’t have time to greet him. He covered the microphone and asked directly.
“Oh, that’s it. There was a patient here who had probably had an operation at the Massachusetts General Hospital three years ago. There was a problem with the operation, and a ceramic fragment was left in the hip joint. The boss went on stage and took it out before performing a hip replacement surgery. “
“It’s that simple?” Ye Qingqiu was surprised.
“Director ye, a medical incident that involved the richest man in Southeast Asia. Is this a small matter?” Su Yun reminded.
Ye Qingqiu thought about it and felt that this was the case.
Although there were no medical disputes in the United States, as long as it was determined to be medical malpractice, the career prospects of a doctor would be bleak.
This was the same for all doctors in the world.
The risks that surgeons took were far greater than that of internists. Even a surgeon at the level of Dr. Keanta could not avoid making mistakes.
“Where are you guys?”
“I’m on a plane. I’ll be back in the capital later. “
“You can make a phone call on the plane …”
“We’re booking the plane, director ye. They’ve already sent a letter to the hospital administration Department?” Su Yun’s attitude was a little lazy.
Ye Qingqiu didn’t answer and hung up the phone. A letter to the hospital administration Department? He had told director Yan directly.
He didn’t know anything.
However, boss Zheng couldn’t be blamed for this. He didn’t seem to know either.
Ye Qingqiu looked up and saw that director Yan had been invited to the podium by director Chris Johnson.
They were originally supposed to give the second batch of speeches, but the order was changed.
Director Yan was also caught off guard, but he had a strong ability to adapt. After a few polite words, he went up to the podium.
Looking at director Yan’s high – spirited expression, director ye knew that Zheng Ren had probably been coaxed by her to come.
