Union Hospital, President's Office.
Dean Tu and Vice Dean Ye were both carefully studying Mrs. Nanxiang's case. Both of them were surgeons and experts.
Dean Tu put down the X-ray film and shook his head:
"Xiao Lin, I think your surgery is too risky. First of all, I think this case is more like a malignant tumor. Look at the obvious adhesions at this location. Have you ever considered that surgery for advanced lung cancer is almost impossible to succeed?
Secondly, Lao Ye and I just went to the ward for rounds. Apart from other indicators, this Japanese patient now weighs only 70 pounds and is so weak that he struggles to even walk. How could he possibly undergo open-heart surgery in this condition?"
Vice President Ye also advised earnestly:
"Yes, Xiaolin, we doctors still prioritize stability. If this operation could be easily performed, do you think these Japanese would still come to China for help? Their medical technology and equipment are definitely more advanced than ours, right?
I also heard you made a $5 million bet with an American doctor. You, you're still so unstable even after becoming the dean. It's a good thing Nanxiang Saburo stood by you this time, otherwise the higher-ups would definitely have stopped your antics."
Although Dean Tu and Vice Dean Ye were of the same rank, they were both in their 50s and treated Lin Sanqi as their nephew, so they certainly wouldn't be polite when speaking to him.
Lin Sanqi was not someone who didn't know what was good for him. He smiled bitterly and said:
"President Tu, President Ye, your assumption is based on lung cancer. Let me give you an example. What if this isn't lung cancer, but tuberculosis?"
"Huh?"
The two old deans sat up straight again and carefully examined the chest X-ray again. Lin Sanqi was still explaining:
"Look at this chest X-ray. The malignant tumor you mentioned is this one, but look at the side. Is there a faint lesion here? Actually, this is a satellite lesion.
Generally speaking, satellite lesions are mostly manifestations of tuberculosis. Of course, lung cancer is also a possibility. But look at this part of the film again and think about it. The Snow Country ambassador was also diagnosed with lung cancer at the beginning. Compare this with what you find?"
Dean Tu squinted his eyes and looked for a long time, then suddenly slapped his thigh:
"Yes, this irregular shadow does look similar to the one on the Snow Country ambassador. Is it caused by bronchial dilatation and bleeding that blocked the bronchus, causing the blood to flow back into the lungs and form a bulging blood clot?"
Lin Sanqi praised: "Yes, the patient also has bronchiectasis!"
Vice President Ye has another concern:
"Xiao Lin, even if it's not lung cancer, your treatment plan should still be anti-tuberculosis treatment first. Once the tuberculosis is under control, consider surgery. You're going to directly remove the lung lobe now. If the patient dies on the operating table, do you know how serious the consequences will be?"
The consequence is that the Japanese chaebol thought that it was the Chinese doctor who killed his wife, and then he turned from a pro-China faction to an anti-China faction?
Lin Sanqi smiled slightly and said pretentiously:
"Have you ever thought that if the operation is successful, this Japanese man will be more grateful to our country and more willing to contribute to it?"
Vice President Ye wanted to persuade him, but President Tu raised his hand to stop him.
"Boy, I can see that you must be very confident to perform this operation, right? Since you came to our Union Hospital, you must have your purpose. Tell me, how do you want us to cooperate?"
Lin Sanqi gave a thumbs up:
"Old butcher, you really can see through people's hearts. I'd like to borrow an operating room from you, since our infectious disease hospital doesn't have one."
Dean Tu asked curiously, "Is it just such a small matter?"
"Also, this is a completely new surgical procedure I'm going to use. I've performed this procedure many times and have some experience. But this surgery requires the cooperation of a team, so I want to practice it."
"How to practice?"
"Just find some patients to practice on, like which patients need lung lobectomies? Give them to me and let me train the entire surgical team. It doesn't need to be too many, usually 10 surgeries together will be enough."
Dean Tu became unhappy when he heard this and said with a stern face:
"Xiao Lin, the lives of Japanese people are lives, but the lives of Chinese people are not lives? You want to practice on our people and then perform surgery on Japanese people. I won't agree. You are worshipping foreigners!"
Vice President Ye also nodded in agreement.
Well, it has only been more than ten years since the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and many old comrades have not forgotten the love and hatred for their country and family.
Lin Sanqi scratched his head and could only continue to explain:
"Old Butcher, Old Ye, think about it. Our country is facing such a food shortage and its economy is so backward. What do we need most now? Besides food, it's foreign exchange. Only with foreign exchange can we buy food from foreign countries, right?
How much foreign exchange does our country have now? Last time, Leader Jing said it was about 40 million US dollars. A country only has this much foreign exchange. Do you think it is a lot or a little?"
"Uh, too little?"
"Yes, if you give this money to an individual, it's enough for him to marry a beautiful, wealthy woman and reach the pinnacle of life. But for a country, there are so many things to deal with. Even a bottle of penicillin has to be imported. What can 40 million do?"
You just mentioned that I made a bet with an American doctor. Do you know how much the stake was? 5 million US dollars. And do you know how much money this Nanxiang lady gave me in red envelopes after I performed surgery on her? I'll tell you and scare you to death!"
Dean Tu and Vice Dean Ye were both drawn into the conversation like they were listening to a crosstalk performance: "How much?"
Lin Sanqi stretched out a palm and shook it.
"500 yuan?"
500 yuan is equivalent to one or two years' salary for an ordinary worker, which is definitely a huge sum of money if converted into a red envelope.
Lin Sanqi sighed, "Do you have any ambition? Do you look down on me, or do you look down on our Japanese friends?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Ri is doing it, and he's said to be a big boss, so he must be worth at least 5,000!"
Dean Tu said this in a firm tone, and in his heart he was already despising Lin Sanqi for being so ruthless. For an operation, the surgery fee, hospitalization fee and medicine fee added up to only a few dozen yuan, but he actually accepted a red envelope of 5,000 yuan?
Lin Sanqi also despised these two deans. They were like scholars rebelling against each other. They hadn't succeeded in three years and couldn't even brag.
"What five thousand? It's five million... ten thousand... US dollars..."
“Shit!!!”
"Are you bragging, kid???"
The two old men's eyes almost popped out. Lin Sanqi waved his hand and took out a check from his ever-present backpack.
"Look, you two studied abroad too. Check this check to see if it's real or fake. What's the amount on it?"
Dean Tu and Vice Dean Ye took a closer look and were both shocked:
"Oh my god, it's really 5 million US dollars. What's going on? Does foreign money just come from the wind? Millions of dollars are given away at every turn. With this amount of money, Xiaolin, you can definitely go to the United States and live a middle-class life."
Now in the United States, a Ford car costs about 10,000 to 20,000 US dollars, and a villa with front and back gardens and garages costs only about 100,000 to 200,000 US dollars.
Even if you put several million dollars in the United States, you will never have to worry about food and drink and can live a carefree life.
Not to mention in China, no one in the country dares to say it, after all, Mr. Rong Yiren is still alive, but there is absolutely no objection to saying that he is the richest man in the health system.
"So, Lao Tu, Lao Ye, think about it. I can earn $10 million from a single operation, which is equivalent to a quarter of the national treasury. When I give this money to the country, won't it be another valuable foreign exchange for the country?"
The two old men nodded repeatedly, and then looked at Lin Sanqi with different eyes:
"Xiao Lin, we are too narrow-minded. You are right. As long as we provide foreign exchange, we will treat them even if they are Indians, not to mention Japanese."
Lin Sanqi thought that if it was the Indian people, he would definitely not treat them. That group of monkeys later massacred the Chinese so fiercely that if it were him, he would have wanted to give them seventeen or eighteen atomic bombs.
"Ahem, Deans, let's be clear first. This $10 million isn't going to be donated to the country for nothing. After all, you know our infectious disease hospital is self-sufficient. They need to exchange it for medicinal herbs, jade, and tea."
Lin Sanqi decided to make it clear in advance. He didn't want to get a "good guy card" and then have all his money taken away for nothing.
He doesn't lack these US dollars, money is of no use to him.
But the country is also not short of wild medicinal herbs and worthless jade.
Dean Tu was already in awe of Lin Sanqi at this point, so he asked sincerely:
"Xiao Lin, how do you want our Union Hospital to cooperate? Just tell us, and we will do our best."
"So, please help me collect some patients with lung cancer or lung necrosis who need lobectomy. Leave the surgery for these patients to me. However, we will not deceive the patients and will explain the situation to them.
Let's just say the surgeon is Lin Sanqi from the Infectious Disease Hospital, and all surgery and hospitalization fees, including the post-operative penicillin for infection, will be paid for by me, Lin Sanqi, personally. The patient doesn't have to pay a penny."
He paid for the patient's surgery out of his own pocket. Even Vice President Ye was amazed. He has really taken a big step forward!
Lin Sanqi continued:
"Also, this surgery requires absolute confidentiality. I will prepare all the surgical equipment myself. Please provide me with a top-notch anesthesiologist, two nurses, and an operating room."
Dean Tu nodded heavily. "Don't worry, Xiaolin, these are just small matters. By the way, when are you going to start the surgery?"
"The sooner the better. After all, Japanese patients can't wait too long. I plan to complete 10 surgeries over two days. I will operate on Mrs. Nanxiang directly the day after tomorrow. The last two days will be used as preoperative preparations."
"Okay, it's a deal then." (End of this chapter)
