Chapter 321 Report
On February 28, 1977, the entire medical team headed by Professor Wen gathered at the Chaodong District People's Hall to hold a formal "departure" ceremony.
Leaders from the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, and medical and health departments at all levels in Beijing are all present. They will congratulate and encourage the medical team, and cheer them on!
Doctors from major hospitals and medical students from various universities also came, filling the entire venue.
Media outlets, led by Beijing Daily and People's Evening News, had already found their camera positions and made preparations, eager to record this historic moment.
When the ceremony was in full swing, the door of the auditorium was suddenly pushed open.
Several men in Zhongshan suits walked in.
Professor Wen, who was on the stage, had to stop his speech, and everyone in the audience turned to look at the door, wondering who would be so thoughtless as to interrupt such an important event.
Professor Wen squinted his eyes to adjust to the dazzling light at the gate, and only recognized who the person was after he came closer.
"Director Wei? What's your meaning by bringing people in like this?" Professor Wen's voice was clearly filled with dissatisfaction.
"Professor Wen! Sorry! We have received reports from the public that some of the members going abroad this time have faked their academic qualifications!"
"What do you mean? Explain yourself clearly!" Professor Wen was very angry.
Director Wei walked up to the stage in two or three steps, took the microphone from Professor Wen, and said word by word:
"The one named Su Tong in your medical team this time was reported to have falsified her academic qualifications. She is just a country girl who didn't even graduate from junior high school. I don't know how she got into this high-level team! This has forced our Supervisory Committee to pay attention! Professor Wen! Until the matter is investigated clearly, your activity needs to be suspended!"
There was a loud bang in the auditorium, and discussions immediately broke out.
"What? Falsified academic qualifications?"
"You are too bold, aren't you? How can you just get a degree in medicine? You want to kill someone?"
"I can't believe it! Can such a person represent the country?"
"Is this true? It can't be true!"
…
Everyone present was whispering to each other, shocked by the news they heard.
Professor Wen was very angry. He snatched back the microphone and said to Director Wei in a low voice:
"Wei Qianjin, it is irresponsible for you to make such an announcement before the matter has been thoroughly investigated! It will cause misunderstandings!"
Wei Qianjin said, "Professor Wen! That's what was written in the report. After receiving the report, we called Qingfeng Town, Jiangping County, Hubei Province to verify it. The situation is indeed true. Su Tong is a country girl who did not graduate from junior high school. She just left Qingfeng Town a few months ago. How did she suddenly become a member of this team going abroad?"
Professor Wen glared at him fiercely, put the microphone to his lips, and spoke clearly to the entire auditorium:
"Regarding Comrade Su Tong's academic qualifications, I can tell you very clearly that Comrade Su Tong has very high medical attainments. Last year, I witnessed her cure a five-year-old PTSD patient. This is the first case in our country and fills the gap in the participation of psychology in clinical treatment in our country."
"This year, Comrade Su Tong became a freshman at Peking University Medical School under the personal recommendation of Comrade Liu Chengyi, Secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee. She is currently a Peking University student with a formal student status. Her admission meets the requirements and conditions for special admission, and also complies with the recommendation process! You can go and verify it!"
Wei Qianjin said, "Even if she was admitted to Peking University as an exception, she has only been on campus for a few days. How can she be qualified to represent China's top medical team to go abroad? Isn't this a bit too hasty? Professor Wen, please explain!"
"Really? Even if you have talent in this area, you still have to be more rigorous!"
"This is not about anything else, it's about the country's reputation!"
…
The people below started talking again.
Dean Ji stood up and walked to the stage when Professor Wen was speaking.
At this moment, he took the microphone from Professor Wen and said to the audience:
"Let me explain this to you. About seven or eight days ago, a serious car accident occurred one kilometer away from the People's Hospital. The man who was hit was 56 years old and his ribs were broken on the spot, causing hemothorax. I happened to be passing by at the time, and it took time for the ambulance to arrive. I had no tools, and when I saw the patient in shock and dying, it was Doctor Su who pierced his chest with a dagger and saved his life."
"Most of you here are from the medical industry. You should know that using a dagger is different from using a puncture needle. You need to control both the strength and the depth, and you must ensure that the insertion position is accurate. Otherwise, not only will it cause secondary harm to the patient, it will be no less than murder!"
"But! Doctor Su did it! She used the tip of a dagger to do something that we might not be able to do with a puncture needle! What I want to say is that her stab was not only due to her steady hands, but also because she was decisive, calm and confident, and had an accurate and well-thought-out assessment of the patient's condition. She possesses all the qualities of an excellent surgeon."
"For the next operation, I tried to let her perform the surgery. I didn't expect her to be able to handle the patient calmly and easily, who was in his 50s and had underlying diseases, a chest fracture, and ruptured organs. I saw her skilled knife skills and superb level. That operation made me realize that her level has surpassed that of the existing surgeons in our hospital."
Having said this, Dean Ji turned to Wei Qianjin and said:
"Director Wei, you also know the person she saved, Comrade Zhang Yucheng, who is about to be promoted to Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Education. He can go and ask him to verify whether the situation is as critical as I said!"
"In addition, Comrade Su Tong is currently only serving as an 'intern doctor' in our hospital as a Peking University student, which does not violate the regulations that non-medical graduates cannot become formal doctors. However, her identity in participating in overseas exchanges is in line with the selection system."
"From the beginning to the end, we just wanted her to have a chance to win glory for the country! Comrade Su Tong's medical skills and identity meet the requirements for overseas exchanges. I hope you won't delay the serious work because of some meaningless reports!"
Wei Qianjin hesitated for a moment and said, "Dean Ji, with this level of medical skills, do you think it's okay? Isn't that a bit arbitrary?"
Professor Wen immediately said, "I can prove it! I guarantee with my position that Comrade Su Tong's medical skills are definitely among the best in the country."
Dean Hu of the First People's Hospital, who was sitting in the audience, also stood up and said:
"I don't know about other things, but we have all watched Dr. Su's surgery. The difficulty and precision are amazing. I can also prove her level! In this matter of winning glory for the country, whoever is better should go! Tell me, isn't this the truth?"
"Yes! We have all watched Dr. Su's surgery! This is about going out into the battlefield! This is not a promotion or a job title evaluation, so there is no need to talk about academic qualifications!"
A group of people who had witnessed Su Tong's surgery agreed.
