Chapter 795: Chapter 713: The Incomprehensible Departnt Chapter 795: Chapter 713: The Incomprehensible Departnt The small eting room in the administration departnt served as the temporary office of the investigation team.
The electronic dical records were extrely convenient to access. A few computers were placed on the office desk and connected to the hospital’s local network. Subsequently, the electronic dical record system was logged into, and a dozen experts were studying the dical records in earnest.
Whether it was the violation of inviting foreign experts to participate in diagnosis and treatnt activities, or the violation of setting up a Comprehensive Surgery Departnt, the investigation should start from the dical records.
Most experts were surgeons from different specializations, along with a few dical experts and nursing experts. Frequent involvent in hospital inspections has made these experts familiar with the process, hence making the work seamless.
After a while, Professor Li looked up, “I just went over this plastic surgery case. As for the case evaluation, Director Wang is qualified to comnt. I shall only discuss the procedure which was indeed illegal. Dr. Ivan, practicing dicine in your hospital’s Plastic Surgery Departnt and performing surgeries as the chief surgeon without any formalities is unequivocally unlicensed dical practice.”
In reality, Professor Li understood that this wasn’t much of a matter, because he had perford such deeds himself. Sotis, in the na of convenience, foreign dical experts were invited to instruct surgeries, and local surgeons were listed as the chief surgeons.
However, today is different. Today, he is the head of the inspection team and everything must be done according to the rules.
“Indeed, we accept the need for rectification. The responsibility for this matter rests on , as I approved it.” Dean Xia responded calmly, deciding to downplay the situation.
If investigated rigorously, it can be proved illegal, but all these years, such operational thods have been accepted tacitly amongst peers. For instance, conducting surgeries by doctors from higher-level hospitals in lower-level ones is technically illegal as those hospitals are not within their practice range.
In addition, renowned professors visiting other cities to perform surgeries for a few thousand dollars of labor fees, is also tacitly accepted by peers. If they were paid according to the set consultation fee, which would be a couple of hundred dollars, not many experts would be willing to sacrifice their weekends and gladly risk traveling to other cities to perform surgeries.
“We are all peers. Let be honest with you: It is challenging to ensure if Ivan is the real Ivan. To my knowledge, Ivan’s surgery fees are incredibly high, amounting to millions of US dollars is common. And many top US hospitals have to pay him lots of money and cater to his whims to have him perform surgeries, so how could he possibly volunteer at Sanbo Hospital? There’s a high probability that your Ivan is fraudulent.” Professor Wang, the Plastic Surgery expert, shared his thoughts casually while going through dical records.
“Thankfully, no dical incidents occurred. Otherwise, how would you handle it? Your audacity leaves speechless. In the future, never involve yourself in such activities.” Professor Li added.
“Isn’t Yang Ping the champion of Orthopedics in the current Golden Knife Award?” An Orthopedic expert asked, who from the investigation team was familiar with Yang Ping.
Yang Ping’s surgeries during the competition left a deep and lasting impression on him.
“Yes, he is.” Dean Sun answered.
The Orthopedic expert’s gaze imdiately left the computer screen, “Why did he participate in plastic surgery? This case, underwent two surgeries. The first ti, the chief surgeon was Director Lan, and the second ti it should be Ivan but after the notice suspending Ivan’s practice and surgery permissions was issued, the subsequent chief surgeon was Yang Ping. At that point, Ivan must have stopped participating in the surgeries. I find it hard to comprehend that Yang Ping, an Orthopedics doctor, perford Plastic Surgery?””
While this expert is a fan of Yang Ping, he also had questions.
“The situation was a bit unique. In our hospital, Yang Ping is not just an Orthopedics doctor. He has the authority to perform any surgery.”
“Any surgery?”
The nursing expert nearby couldn’t help but laugh, but she quickly realised her behaviour was inappropriate, imdiately covered her mouth, and suppressed her laughter.
“Comprehensive Surgery Departnt? What does that an?” Professor Wang asked curiously.
This so-called Comprehensive Surgery Departnt was sothing that the experts could not understand.
Dean Sun patiently explained, “It implies an amalgamation of various surgical specializations.”
“Now, only county or township level hospitals have this kind of setup, don’t they? Not differentiating between surgical departnts and just having a general surgery departnt where any surgery is perford. Sanbo is a tertiary hospital, how do you have such a departnt and what kind of surgeries do you normally perform?” Professor Wang continued to grill.
Professor Wang’s career journey had been very inspirational. His college entrance exam results were quite poor and despite his father being the Dean of a Provincial Hospital, he could do little to help. Consequently, he ended up with an associate degree from a less known dical University.
However, this didn’t deter Professor Wang’s ambition to rise. For so reason, probably because Professor Wang was a late bloor or had higher talent, he unexpectedly excelled in college, triumphing from the rear.
His associate degree was transford into a bachelor’s degree through a professional upgrade program. Subsequently, he smoothly entered the master’s program at the Provincial dical University, and then continued onto the doctoral program. With a doctorate, he joined the Provincial Hospital where his father was, then went abroad for further studies, and on return, beca part of a key youth talent training program. Hence, his career climbed pretty quickly, and he is currently the Departnt Director of Plastic Surgery in the hospital.
” They probably perform minor surgeries usually. In terms of cranial surgery, I guess they just operate on scalp tumors or similar minor issues, nothing too significant.” Another expert from the investigation team comnted.
The tone of Dean Sun was very gentle: “On the contrary, the general surgeries that other specialties can’t handle are referred to the Comprehensive Surgery Departnt.”
“Complex cases?” That expert was highly curious, “They surely aren’t performing craniotomies, right?”
The Neurosurgery expert in the investigation team chid in, “When I do surgery in lower-level hospitals, so smaller ones do it that way. The entire surgery departnt is just one departnt with a few surgeons, and they do all types of surgeries like appendectomies, the removal of urinary tract stones, craniotomies to clear out hematoma, etc. They do it all, but they can only perform simple and common surgeries, so they are a jack of all trades but master of none.”
The Neurosurgery expert’s words held a tinge of mockery. It was a natural sense of superiority held by doctors from higher-level hospitals towards their counterparts from lower-level ones.
In reality, higher and lower-level hospitals have different specializations, and there shouldn’t be any chains of contempt. For example, during an ergency rescue of acute heart failure, the mixed surgery doctors of lower-level hospitals who are capable of everything may be able to conduct the rescue smoothly.
But when the professors of higher-level hospitals encounter acute heart failure, many of them are completely clueless. Apart from supplying oxygen, setting up cardiac monitoring, and hanging fluids, they can’t do much else. The rest can only be worked upon by waiting for a consultation from a respective specialist.
“Our Comprehensive Surgery Departnt is a bit unique. They do not perform normal surgeries. For example, in Neurosurgery, operations like brain stem tumor surgeries which the Neurosurgery Departnt can’t handle are transferred to the Comprehensive Surgery Departnt.” Dean Sun answered patiently.
Dean Xia sat with a solemn expression beside him, remaining silent the entire ti.
Dean Sun imdiately said, “Dean Xia, don’t you have a eting to attend? I can handle things here.”
Dean Xia nodded, “Alright then, I’ll take my leave.”
“No worries, go ahead with your work.” The congenial Investigation Team Leader, Professor Li, told Dean Xia.
He had done his howork beforehand and knew that Dean Xia was very competent, hence he held him in high regard and didn’t dare to be overly commanding around him.
After the departure of Dean Xia, Dean Sun and the others stayed behind to cooperate with the work of the investigation team.
“Pull out all the surgery cases of Dr. Yang.” Professor Wang scratched his nose, it was his first ti hearing about a Comprehensive Surgery Departnt.
Even if so hospitals set up such a Comprehensive Surgery Departnt, it essentially equates to a VIP – Very Important Persons’ departnt, which accepts all surgical patients, and executes centralized managent. The actual surgeries, however, are perford by experts from each departnt.
Naly, this type of comprehensive VIP ward generally has a dedicated team of nurses, a dedicated team of resident doctors, but the chief surgeons are still the senior doctors of each specialty.
“What about Dr. Yang’s work history?”
The nursing expert on the investigation team made a request.
