Chapter 304: Chapter 0288 – Consulting Abroad
The integrated orthopedic outpatient clinic began to stop receiving patients, and the patients in the ward recovered quickly, being discharged one after another.
Sisi also got discharged from the hospital to go ho for the Chinese New Year and will be readmitted after the Spring Festival for continued treatnt.
After her parents handled the discharge procedures, they didn’t withdraw the remaining money but left it in Sisi’s hospital account. They plan to transfer this money to a new hospital account when Sisi is readmitted after the Spring Festival.
This couple is honest, and the money is given by kind-hearted people. They don’t want the money to pass through their hands and hope to keep it in the hospital account for Sisi’s treatnt.
Sisi’s father began to walk with partial weight-bearing with the help of a crutch, and he can soon walk without it. His surgery was managed in such a way that costs were minimized.
The steel plate to fix the fracture was provided free of charge by Huang Jiahui; the anesthesia fee was only a few dozen yuan as Fatty used a nerve block anesthesia, which is charged as local anesthesia; he got discharged just a few days after the surgery, and the outpatient clinic provided free dication for him, so the entire surgery cost only a few thousand yuan.
...
The entire ward was emptied, and doctors and nurses in the departnt finally let out a sigh of relief. After working as doctors and nurses for so many years, they have never taken a formal holiday during the Spring Festival. This ti, they finally can have a Spring Festival where they can switch off their mobile phones.
Everyone planned their Spring Festival holiday schedule, but a phone call from the dical Affairs Departnt shattered their illusions.
For the Micro Trauma Orthopedics, the number of patients has not decreased but increased. The ward is overwheld and the doctors and nurses of Integrated Orthopedics have to go to support them.
What a letdown!
As all divisions are within the sa departnt, most surgeries in the Trauma Orthopedics are ergency operations. A lot of patients’ conditions are severe and complex. So, they will have difficulty getting discharged before the Spring Festival. Therefore, there’s no question of having the festival off.
The Integrated Orthopedics only accepts outpatient patients. Most of them are elective surgeries and won’t be scheduled during the Spring Festival. Moreover, the operating room will not take elective surgeries during the Spring Festival and only arrange ergency surgeries.
So once the outpatient clinic of Integrated Orthopedics stops receiving patients, and with the speedy recovery of the patients in the ward, the ward will soon be emptied.
Zhang Lin Xiaowu leads a group of graduate students and standardized training students to support Trauma Orthopedics, Song Zimo prepares their second-line team, and Yang Ping prepares their third-line team.
Cai Qiaojun also allocated the nurses. Except for very few who genuinely need to take leave during Spring Festival, most will normally work and support Trauma Orthopedics.
There are many who offer gifts and treats before the New Year. So dical device rchants already admitted into the hospital, in order to have their goods placed in the Integrated Orthopedics, are racking their brains, sending tea, cigarettes, and alcohol and inviting for als and drinks, but are all rejected by Yang Ping.
Director Han had handed all these permissions over to Yang Ping. The dical device departnt frequently calls Yang Ping, hoping him to let these rchants in.
But Yang Ping just beats around the bush, superficially agreeing: “No problem, let them send their products.”
In reality, even if the goods are sent and placed in the sterile room of the operating room, Yang Ping would only use them occasionally, eventually not satisfied with the service quality in the end.
He still trusts the Huang siblings. Huang Jiahui is honest, Huang Jiacai is smart, and no ordinary dical device rchant can compare. Dealing with smart people can avoid a lot of unnecessary efforts, and importantly, it won’t add any trouble.
The house which Zhang Lin bought is ready to move in. It ca with decoration and the young couple is extrely excited. They’ve been yearning for it day and night. With the efforts of two generations, they finally have their own house in G City.
They hired professionals to test and remove formaldehyde. They plan to ventilate it for a few months before moving in.
They are sowhat wary of the indoor pollution of the new house. So-called environntally friendly renovation is just an ostensible label as there’s no genuine environntally friendly material. Even if they do the renovation themselves, they may still get cheated.
But now Zhang Lin’s financial situation is much more relaxed. Working with Yang Ping, his inco is good, and Yang Ping is very generous in inco distribution, which greatly motivates everyone.
His wife Li Shan’s inco has increased a lot too. Dean Xia forcefully implented the pediatric subsidy policy, taking a portion from the total hospital inco to subsidize pediatrics, raising the salaries of pediatric doctors. This stabilizes the morale in pediatrics, not only preventing doctors from leaving but also recruiting several high-ranking doctors from other hospitals and hiring a batch of new staff, easing the staffing tension in pediatrics.
Zhang Lin and Li Shan are very optimistic about their future. Once they move into the new house, the couple plans to have a baby, sothing they didn’t dare to think about before.
Dean Xia frequently says in his etings, “If I as the dean of the hospital were only able to retain talent through their passion and dedication, I would consider that a dereliction of my duty.”
He always delivered on his words and never made empty promises, hence he commanded high respect in the hospital.

The expansion of Cheng Liquan’s hospital had to be temporarily halted due to the workers’ vacation during the Spring Festival.
Not only did he personally ensure the quality of the renovation construction, but he also personally selected doctors and nurses to be sent to Singapore for training; For the certification by the Joint Commission on International Health Organizations, he proactively contacted professional organizations to provide advance coaching as well.
He believed that a good hospital must not lack any of the three – staff, systems, and infrastructure. He intended to build the best, most standardized, and most advanced private orthopedic hospital in the country.
The day before the Lunar New Year’s Eve, Boss Cheng delivered fresh beef, mutton, fish, and others to Yang Ping’s house.
On the 29th, Yang Ping had perford several surgeries for Cheng Liquan.
The data from Dean Cai showed that within just two or three months since the beginning of their collaboration, the gross inco from Yang Ping’s surgical patients reached ten million, with the total hospital stay cost per patient all exceeding two hundred thousand.
Because they unified the procurent of all dical instrunts and consumables, the costs were relatively low. As a private hospital that resells them at a price higher than that of ordinary hospitals, the profit from consumables was staggering.
All of the patients operated on by Yang Ping were satisfied with the postoperative care. No one complained about the high costs. As long as their problems could be solved, they didn’t care about the money at all.
This ten million-dollar inco, from less than a hundred patients, leaving aside all costs, had a net inco of over four million. The profit was considerable.
It appears that as long as the quality of services is high, the financial capacity of the wealthy group shouldn’t be a concern.
Old Cheng suddenly felt very ashad, thinking to himself, “I can no longer let Yang Ping charge only five thousand per surgery. It’s too little. Starting next year, the contract needs to be revised and the rate should be at least eleven thousand per surgery.”
Seeing these numbers, Old Cheng was overjoyed and his confidence soared. If things continued in this way and the market was effectively tapped into, it wouldn’t be a problem for the hospital’s turnover to exceed one hundred million tomorrow.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he beca. He even wanted to have Yang Ping over for a contract renewal imdiately. However, he held himself back – it was almost the New Year and everyone was resting, it wouldn’t be good to disrupt them. He decided to wait until after the New Year.
“Have the finance departnt produce a detailed report!” Old Cheng felt very confident. He planned to use this report to lobby for more investnt from the family during the Spring festival. If he was going to bet, he was going to go big.
Director Zhu, once again accompanied by Director Tian, invited Yang Ping for a al to bring him news: A patient from Malaysia was going to have an international consultation. The experts invited were all from various insurance companies. Representing Anning Insurance, Director Zhu invited Yang Ping to participate in the consultation and sought his opinion.
Yang Ping agreed without hesitation, he would help Director Zhu unconditionally.
The date for the consultation couldn’t be confird yet. It might take place during the Spring Festival as the patient’s lower limb muscle strength continued to deteriorate.
This patient’s condition was progressing relatively slowly, not as rapidly as Fang Xiaoyun’s.
Even if he were to travel abroad, he would still need to apply for a visa and register with a hospital. Right now, Yang Ping would have to apply for a new passport.
“Our company will liaise with your hospital and assist you in obtaining the visa,”
said Director Zhu, full of confidence.
This ti, representing Anning Insurance to deal with this patient’s case in Malaysia, he was facing several other insurance companies, all of which were international giants.
But he was confident and even more so in Yang Ping.
