Chapter 988: She hasnât changed at all.
Some might wonder at this point, isnât a lecture just one session after another in the same conference room, teaching to colleagues? No, thatâs a small-scale academic exchange.
Large-scale academic exchange conferences rent out entire venues, often opting for large hotels. This way, multiple meeting rooms can be provided to hold several academic lectures and reports simultaneously within a short time frame.
To accommodate the doctorsâ schedules, the duration of the exchange conference is usually compressed to around two to three days.
The organizers will invite many well-known figures to give lectures, similar to a competition where technical backbones from various hospitals gather at the same venue.
Surgical demonstrations have always been the highlight, a make-or-break situation. As Shi Xu said, a good one will be packed with visitors, dazzling everyone. A poor one might end up with not a single viewer.
To ensure a good turnout for a lecture, itâs best to have the biggest boss in the industry teach, akin to a celebrity effect. Everyone is curious to see the person, regardless of whether he or she is as impressive as rumored.
âNow that means, Dr. Tao, youâll have to give the presentation,â Director Tang said to Tao Zhijie, having understood the situation.
Tao Zhijie has such a reputation in the industry, as a leading figure among young doctors, and he naturally has a star aura. Everyone just wants to see what he looks like, at least ensuring a decent initial attendance rate for the lecture.
Hearing this directive from the leadership, Tao Zhijie could only nod.
For the live surgery broadcast, other doctors from the department will have to be assigned to perform it. This presents an opportunity for other doctors in the department to gain fame as well.
At the conference, doctors from the various groups of the Hepatobiliary Surgery department went from lackluster interest to scrambling to have their cases and surgeries featured in the live broadcast.
Sitting in the back, Xie Wanying could hear sighs from her senior colleagues. Senior Tao not participating in the surgery was a significant impact on their group.
What to do? If Tao Zhijie wasnât on the operating table, their group had to decide who to send for the live surgery broadcast. Seeing other groupsâ senior doctors striving for opportunities for their own, certainly no one was willing to step in and lead their group for Tao Zhijie.
Making an appearance or not, reputation or not, Xie Wanyingâs mind wasnât focused on these things; instead, she was thinking about helping Yangyangâs Mom solve the problem of surgery expenses as much as possible and whether she could touch Teacher Luâs heart in this surgery.
âAre there any other recommended surgical cases?â asked Director Tang, preparing to wrap up the meeting. There were already enough cases submitted by various groups, so the departmental leaders needed to discuss them afterward.
Xie Wanying raised her hand high, afraid of being missed; she felt she was reaching as high as possible.
Shi Xu caught her gesture and couldnât help laughing: thinking that ever since she moved from General Surgery Department Two to Hepatobiliary Surgery, she hasnât changed a bit.
The corners of Tan Kelinâs mouth also curled into a smile.
It was only when other people saw her colleagues from General Surgery Department Two reacting that they noticed she had raised her hand.
âWhy are you raising your hand?â Gong Xiangbin asked Xie Wanying anxiously.
âDidnât the director ask if there were any more cases to recommend?â replied Xie Wanying.
This time the case recommendations were made individually by the doctors and not discussed by each group before being recommended, meaning every doctor in the department could recommend their own patients.
âYou want to recommend the patient in bed 20, donât you?â Gong Xiangbin knew what she was thinking and said, âLetâs discuss this after the meeting.â
