The entry procedures have been completed, and today is the day Chen Xia officially starts work.
Early in the morning, Chen Xia put on her newly bought clothes, wet her hair with water, and looked very conceited. Her cheap dad's bicycle was still there, which would be her means of commuting for a long time to come.
"You two stay home and review your knowledge. I've frozen a watermelon in the well. If you want some, go get it yourself. If you behave well, I'll bring you popsicles in the evening."
"Okay, I want a polar bear ice cube."
"Okay, let's go."
With the sound of car bells, Chen Xia appeared on the road of the village. The villagers on the road greeted him one after another, and most of them looked at him with envy.
Workers, these days how many rural people dream of becoming workers? Whoever becomes a worker is like a superior person.
Chen Xia arrived at Yuezhou Fourth Hospital at seven in the morning. These days, the hospital's opening hours were half past seven. The outpatient clinic was already crowded with people who had come to see a doctor early in the morning, and most of them had sad faces.
It’s not so bad for workers, as they have public medical care and the factory will reimburse them.
Farmers wouldn't go to the hospital for minor illnesses, and any illness they went to was not a minor one. A single hospital stay or surgery, even a dozen or so yuan in cash, was a huge sum for them.
Moreover, the treatment of many diseases is not available just by having money.
Since Yuezhou Fourth Hospital became a local hospital, sourcing medicine has become a major issue. The military is the backbone of the nation, and generally, the government and pharmaceutical companies prioritize any medications they need.
However, local hospitals are only local affairs, and the number and variety of medicines are limited. Expensive drugs or imported drugs with reliable efficacy are even rarer.
First of all, the drugs are supplied to big cities, and the supply to hospitals in small cities like Yuezhou is even less.
Although pharmaceutical companies are very powerful, they can only provide some basic medicines in small cities. If hospitals want more and better medicines, they have to find ways on their own.
Every director of the pharmacy department at the Fourth Hospital is practically bald, their hair falling out from worrying about where to get their medicine. It's like going to a pharmaceutical factory and saying you're from Capital Union Hospital. They give you as much as you want, and then they ask you if it's enough before you leave.
If you say you're from Yuezhou Fourth Hospital, what? A small country hospital? Wait a minute. Can't wait? If you can't wait, just leave. Who asked you to come?
This is a society where "demand exceeds supply". Everyone in the pharmaceutical factory, from top to bottom, is arrogant. Even the security guards have eyes on top of their heads. Without a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes, you can't even get in.
Unlike later times, when supply outstripped demand, pharmaceutical factory salesmen would often come to the pharmacy director with their business cards, bowing and smiling, begging: "Director, could you please give me some? I'd like to treat you to a simple meal tonight. Please do me the honor of visiting."
Another big red envelope after the meal.
So now in Yuezhou Fourth Hospital, doctors generally use whatever medicine the pharmacy department gets, and there is no room for negotiation.
What if doctors can't guarantee their use of drugs in clinical practice? Just ignore it. Wouldn't it make you look more capable as a doctor if you don't use drugs?
Anyone who says this will be slapped to death by the doctor.
After Chen Xia parked the car and arrived at the infectious department, he heard Ren Yuanfei yelling into the intercom.
"Amantadine is gone? The patient can't wait. Many complications will arise and people will die. I don't care. You can rob or steal it, I just want Amantadine."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and cursed into the phone again: "Damn it, you useless guy who can't even get some medicine."
Chen Xia saw that he had finished his call and quickly stepped forward, "Master, I'm here to report."
Ren Yuanfei was feeling worried, but a smile immediately appeared on his face when he saw Chen Xia. "Well done! You arrived at 7:30 when the work starts. How's that? Studying medicine is a very tough job. You should be mentally prepared."
"Don't be afraid. Actually, my father taught me a lot of medical theory before, so I have a pretty good grasp of the basics of medicine. Master, if you can guide me, I should be able to get started quickly."
Ren Yuanfei: "Stop bragging. By the way, are all the formalities completed?"
"It's done. I already completed the job registration at the Personnel Department yesterday."
"Well, you should familiarize yourself with the department for a few days. If you have any questions, you can ask me or the other doctors and nurses. They are all your father's old colleagues and will definitely help you wholeheartedly."
"knew."
"I'll be checking the ward later, just follow me."
Seeing that Ren Yuanfei still had some things to deal with, Chen Xia walked out of the office and slowly walked around the inpatient ward.
Because the infectious disease department is quite special, it is placed in a separate building in the hospital, a bungalow, but it is kept very clean.
The doctors and nurses who come to work in the morning are very surprised to see young people in white coats walking around, such as the aunt in front of them.
"Oh, Xiaoxia, you're here for work? You've grown so tall that Aunt Zhang almost doesn't recognize you. I heard from Lao Ren that he wants to be your master?"
Zhang Li is a doctor in the infectious disease department. She used to have a good relationship with Chen Bingkun. Her hometown is Shanghai, and she came here with her husband to join the army. Therefore, she speaks and acts in a more Shanghai style, which is not something ordinary people can handle.
Chen Xia was so embarrassed because Aunt Zhang was pinching his face as if he were a child.
"Ha, Aunt Zhang, you're getting younger and younger. Look at you, you're the flower of our infectious disease department."
"Go away, you're so young and you know how to coax people. Aunt Zhang is already in her 40s, and she just misses the beauty pageant of her youth." Although she didn't admit it, her smile was very honest, and she even got a few more crow's feet from being coaxed.
