Which neurosurgeon to find. Doctor Hu knows many bosses in the medical circle, so probably doesnât need any introductions from others. If she were to recommend a neurosurgery expert, her first choice would definitely be Senior Cao.
Finally, Nie Jiamin extended his left hand and patted her on the left shoulder: "Get some antiseptic solution to clean your knee."
Teacher Nieâs eyes were sharp and had already noticed her left knee was scraped. He gave her some face by bringing it up only now.
Xie Wanying immediately responded: "Thank you, Teacher Nie."
If it werenât for Teacher Nie opening the back door tonight, this child really wouldnât have been able to receive professional treatment as quickly as possible. For illnesses like this in children, the sooner they get the correct treatment, the better the outcome. Whatâs more, since Teacher Nie came to Guoxie Pediatrics, the hospital has been willing to invest heavily. Look at the rescue bed the child is lying on, and the ventilator in useâall top-of-the-line imported equipment.
With such advanced medical hardware, this child is extremely fortunate.
Luo Jingming came over, catching the look of appreciation for the NICU equipment on her face, and said, "Now our pediatrics department is considered to have some money."
Unlike the general pediatric department, pediatric surgery, NICU, and PICU are all profit-making departments. Senior Luo said this, indicating that the department bonuses have increased. Xie Wanying congratulated her senior on the increase in income, saying, "Senior can treat us to a meal."
Treating junior to a meal is not an issue. The issue is that this straightforward junior didnât catch the other implication in his words. The pediatric surgery department has more funds now, so the junior could consider joining pediatric surgery. Luo Jingming adjusted his glasses and reminded her again: "The goal of pediatric surgery is to align with the wealthiest departments in the hospital."
Which is the wealthiest department in the hospital? Xie Wanying seemed to have heard someone mention it before, but she couldnât remember.
Itâs orthopedics. So donât listen to the Beidou Third Hospital doctors bragging that the obstetrics department is the wealthiest. To be honest, Bei Dou Thirdâs spine surgery department similarly outstrips other departments in terms of earnings and is a very lucrative department. Obstetrics doctors are busier with more frequent emergencies compared to orthopedics, which occasionally has downtime. The Beidou Third Hospital obstetrics department earns more than spine surgery due to higher patient volumes, but the cost-effectiveness of the doctorsâ efforts canât compare to orthopedics.
Xie Wanying knew from observing a surgical table once that orthopedics is lucrative because it uses the most surgical materials among all surgical departmentsâeach surgery involves a heap of materials.
Like plastic surgeons abroad who earn the most for the same reasonâthe extensive use of materials. A surgical doctorâs revenue generation is inseparable from materials.
Pure medical students will dream of entering the two major specialties solely based on their highest pursuit of medical knowledge. In contrast, more calculating medical students will consider cost-effectiveness when choosing a department. Therefore, orthopedics is also a department fiercely fought over by medical students. Geng Yongzhe wants to stay in orthopedics, which is challenging.
That being said, although Senior Chang Jiawei might seem a bit naive, it is impossible to say he lacks intellect. Senior Chang intelligently chose spine surgery.
After repeated reminders, Luo Jingming found himself speechless when this straightforward junior still wasnât getting the hint.
Nie Jiamin asked a nurse to bring a bottle of iodophor and some cotton swabs, handing them to her: "Wipe it clean."
"Yes, Teacher." Xie Wanying took it, then walked to the office to disinfect her scrape.
She recalled not knowing if Teacher Huâs forehead injury had been treated, later hearing from the nurse that it had already been taken care of for Teacher Hu.
