A month later, it was time to check the results of the battle.
In the county cinema auditorium, the lights were bright at this time, and the sound of abacus clacking could be heard from the scene.
208 barefoot doctors from Andu County sat in the front row.
Following them were the heads of health departments from Xiguang Province and Dongguang Province, administrative heads from various regions and counties, and heads of major regional hospitals and county hospitals.
Lin Sanqi sat at the edge of the rostrum, and the eyes of hundreds of people present were all focused on the 25 accountants on the rostrum.
An accountant calculates the accounts of the barefoot doctors in a commune.
Lin Sanqi organized this accounting meeting to let everyone see with their own eyes the social and economic benefits brought about by barefoot doctors.
The focus is still on economic benefits.
Whether the barefoot doctor policy can be promoted nationwide depends on the cooperation of local governments.
If you ask local governments to pay, I'm afraid no region in the country can afford the expenditure, and then no matter how good your plan is, it cannot be implemented.
In other words, if you can let local governments see that barefoot doctors can make money and will not become a burden to them, then they will definitely actively cooperate for the sake of people's livelihood.
But for some special reasons, it is difficult for everyone to believe the numbers on the document.
Therefore, the best way is to let everyone see it with their own eyes and settle the accounts on the spot.
Lin Sanqi took another look at the cameras in the venue and the reporters from major newspapers across the country. They were the best witnesses and propagandists.
At this time, reporters were moving around in the accounting room, picking up the account books from time to time and doing calculations in their minds to verify the authenticity.
There are 25 communes and 208 villages in Quandu County. One accountant only needs to calculate the accounts of 8 or 9 village clinics, so the operation is very fast.
More than an hour later, the last abacus sound ended.
After Liu Aizhen, the county government's old accountant, reviewed it once, she reported to everyone:
"Minister Lin, leaders, the accounts of all barefoot doctors in the 25 communes of Andu County have been released."
Lin Sanqi smiled and said, "Accountant Liu, tell us first, among the 208 village clinics, how many are making a profit? How many are losing money?"
Accountant Liu smiled and said loudly into the microphone in front of him:
"All 208 village clinics in the county are profitable, not a single one is losing money."
There was a burst of discussion in the cinema, and the 208 young barefoot doctors all showed joy on their faces and felt proud.
Young people all have a spirit of not admitting defeat, especially this group of barefoot doctors, who are the best children selected by the villagers and there are no lazy people.
So naturally they don’t want their village clinic to lose money or fall behind.
If they tell others about it, they will not only lose face themselves, but also the face of the village and the clan.
Lin Sanqi asked again:
“What are the highest and lowest profits?”
Accountant Liu took a look at the report and replied loudly:
"The highest profit was achieved in Dizhu Village in Lalie Commune, at 53 yuan. The lowest profit was achieved in Sanbiao Village in Banling Commune, at 9 yuan."
The cost of the village clinic only includes the Western medicine part.
If the Chinese herbal medicines are picked by the barefoot doctors themselves, they are not included in the profit because it is a zero-cost business.
Lin Sanqi thought, Dizhu Village is a pilot village set up by me personally, so of course it has to be the highest, otherwise where would he put his face?
"Okay, is Wang Xidong, the barefoot doctor from Dizhu Village, here?"
Wang Xidong stood up excitedly: "Minister Lin, I'm here."
Lin Sanqi waved his hand: "Come up."
Wang Xidong was a little dazed, and the barefoot doctors next to him urged him:
"Wang Xidong, you're so stupid! Go up on stage. There must be a reward."
Wang Xidong certainly understood the situation, but he was too happy and stumbled onto the podium.
Lin Sanqi patted his shoulder and interviewed him like a reporter:
"Comrade Wang Xidong, please share your experience with the leaders at all levels present. How did you become the number one in the county?
You should know that with your profit of 53 yuan, plus the subsidy of 10 yuan, your income last month reached 63 yuan.
Do you know what 63 yuan means? In a large hospital in the city, a college graduate who has just been hired as a full-time employee is paid the salary of a technician at level 13, which is only 55 yuan.
You, a barefoot doctor, have never been to college, have never left the mountains, and have no official position, but your income has exceeded that of college graduates and the vast majority of doctors in the country.
We don’t judge heroes by their background, but by the profits they create.
The more profit you make, the more patients you treat, the more people are being treated, and you've also solved your own employment problems. Then you're the hero of the day."
Before Wang Xidong could say anything, Lin Sanqi hung a big red flower on his chest.
"Come on, everyone, give Comrade Wang Xidong a round of applause~~~"
Crash~~~
There was thunderous applause at the scene, and all the cameras and camera lenses were focused on this young barefoot doctor. In a few days, he would appear on the headlines of major newspapers and radio stations across the country.
People these days value honor, and Lin Sanqi focuses on this aspect.
To promote a new policy, material things are important, but honor is also essential. It must make everyone jealous so that the policy can be deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Lin Sanqi waved his hand again at this time, and two staff members brought up something that looked like a cabinet.
"Comrade Wang Xidong, this radio is a reward for you. It was imported from Hong Kong and is worth one thousand Hong Kong dollars. I hope you will continue to work hard and serve the villagers and be a good guardian of their health."
There was a loud "wow" at the scene, and everyone screamed.
Radios are definitely a luxury for this impoverished county, and an exquisite, huge radio like the one on the stage is something no one has ever seen before.
Even the deans and directors of big cities were envious.
Wang Xidong was so excited that his hands were shaking:
"A reward for me? Oh, please rest assured, I will treat my illness well and will not let you and the villagers down."
An imported radio is definitely eye-catching, but what the leaders of the health system are more concerned about is the accounts of the entire Andu County.
Lin Sanqi also sat down at this time:
"Okay, the highest score has been awarded. Next, to ensure fairness, Accountant Liu will report to everyone present on the profitability of the county's 208 village clinics."
Accountant Liu nodded, picked up the statistical table in his hand, and began to report in a broadcasting voice:
"Leaders, let me first report on the situation in Gaoling Commune. The rent in Bangmai Village is 15 yuan, Guanglong Village is 20 yuan, Banqing is 18.5 yuan, Banwang is 21 yuan, and Longjian..."
As the profit data of each village came out, the leaders of the cinema all had a clear account in their minds.
Overall, the average profit of barefoot doctors in Andu County is about 20 yuan.
On average, it is 70 cents a day. In the eyes of insiders, this data is correct and cannot be falsified.
Adding the 10 yuan subsidy from Bao'an County, his monthly income of 30 yuan in the poor county of Andu is definitely more than that of most cadres.
The key point is that the medical profession is unlikely to go bankrupt, because people are bound to get sick, and when they are sick they definitely need a doctor.
In other words, this income is very stable and can completely sustain itself without putting any pressure on local finances.
Even if the barefoot doctors themselves do not make a penny, the 10 yuan subsidy alone is more than enough for them to live comfortably.
So what else can I say? I must support it.
In the next few days, the headlines of major newspapers across the country were all about the barefoot doctors in Andu County.
In particular, the photo of Wang Xidong wearing a big red flower and holding the huge radio was published in major newspapers, causing a great sensation among people across the country.
In the second month, the barefoot doctor program was fully implemented in Dongguang Province and Xiguang Province.
Zhao Yi, head of the newly established Rural Medical Department, and Shen Qiushui, president of Bao'an County People's Hospital and head of the advisory group, took over the provincial pilot work.
As a senior leader, Lin Sanqi certainly could not conduct research at the grassroots level for a long time, so he returned to Bao'an County.
To the east of Luohu Port, along the Shenzhen River, a large complex of buildings has been erected, with the tallest building reaching 20 stories.
A 20-story building may be commonplace for people in Hong Kong, but for people in the mainland at that time, it was definitely one of the tallest buildings.
Among the buildings, one is used as the campus of Baoan Medical University and the other is Baoan International Hospital.
Lin Sanqi and Shen Guoming first came to Bao'an Medical University (under preparation).
Shen Guoming explained at this time:
"The Bao'an Medical University campus is now officially complete, covering a total area of 1,100 mu (approximately 1,000 acres) and accommodating up to 30,000 students. Now it all depends on whether the other two schools can successfully relocate."
Lin Sanqi walked on the campus and replied:
"There's no problem with the Fourth Army Medical College. I'm training talent for the troops free of charge, and they're eager for it. Life is even harder for the troops right now. We can utilize their teaching resources, and the extra medical students can be used by me."
It's a win-win situation.
In addition, Dongguan Pharmaceutical College and Dongguan Girls' Nursing School have also agreed to relocate to Bao'an County. At that time, the total number of students will reach 12,000, making it the largest medical school in the country.
I have also established contact with Hong Kong University School of Medicine, University College London Medical School, and Harvard Medical School. They will regularly send professors to teach us, allowing our students to be exposed to the world's most cutting-edge technologies."
Lin Sanqi invited foreign experts to come and cultivate international ideas among Chinese medical students so that they can keep pace with the world.
The condition for Bao'an County to attract professors from various countries is to support and sponsor their medical research. Of course, if there are any results, Bao'an Medical University and the foreign professors will share the profits equally.
As more and more results come out and papers are published, the name of Bao'an Medical University will frequently appear in various medical journals, and its popularity will immediately increase.
If it is just a Chinese paper, people may not be willing to publish it.
For example, Lin Sanqi's paper on tuberculosis could only be published in domestic newspapers because foreign magazines would not accept it.
But if we use foreign professors, it will be a different story. This is also a mutual benefit and a win-win situation.
After touring the medical university campus, the two walked to the nearby Baoan International Hospital.
This hospital will also become a teaching hospital for Bao'an Medical University, a one-stop service.
Shen Guoming looked at the huge hospital building in front of him and felt very proud. This was a project he led.
I never thought that a retired old man could make a living in a second village.
Currently, he is the director of the Bao'an Management Committee recognized by the state. Although his rank is still that of a director, he is a director with real power and holds hundreds of millions of dollars in his hands. Who in the country can compare with him?
The architectural drawings of Bao'an Medical University and Bao'an International Hospital were all brought by Lin Sanqi from modern society, so they are naturally the most advanced.
Shen Guoming introduced:
"The renovation of Bao'an County Hospital is almost complete, and we are preparing to open 2,000 beds..."
Baoan International Hospital, Lin Sanqi is planning to attract "foreign investment", that is, to make money from Hong Kong people and foreigners.
At that time, foreigners who come for medical treatment can enter the country visa-free through the Luohu Port and go directly to the hospital.
Of course, the hospital is closed and foreigners are not allowed to leave once they enter. The cost of medical treatment is also charged according to Hong Kong standards.
As for how to make foreigners willingly come to Bao'an for treatment, we must have our own special and authoritative departments.
At least no one else has it, but only Baoan International Hospital has it, which is irreplaceable.
Shen Guoming continued to introduce:
"Xiao Qi, the hospital's hardware is almost finished. What's lacking is doctors. How are you going to handle this?"
Lin Sanqi smiled and said:
"Godfather, I've already made arrangements for this. I own a large hospital in Hong Kong, and I've already hired 500 doctors with high salaries.
I plan to unify the management of Hong Kong Lingnan Hospital and Bao'an Hospital, essentially forming a single medical group. Doctors from both hospitals will be able to communicate with each other, meaning some Hong Kong doctors will come to work at Bao'an International Hospital."
Shen Guoming was surprised and asked, “Doctor Xiangjiang is willing to come here to work?”
Lin Sanqi shrugged. "If they're unwilling to come, it only means the money isn't there yet. When the income from working in Bao'an is three times that of Xiangjiang, do you think Dr. Xiangjiang will be willing to come?"
As long as the money is in place, there will be plenty of people signing up even if you go to Madagascar in Africa.
Shen Guoming nodded and asked again:
"There's still a shortage of doctors. According to your standards, Bao'an International Hospital should have at least 1,200 clinical doctors, and they must be high-level ones."
Lin Sanqi sighed and it took a long time for him to slowly reply:
"1,200 people is not enough. If possible, feel free to hire more. There is no upper limit. We will take as many as we can."
Shen Guoming looked at Lin Sanqi with some surprise:
"Why do you need so many doctors? This is just one hospital. How can you support so many doctors?"
Lin Sanqi explained:
"Our Bao'an International Hospital is quite large, and its main staff is still doctors from mainland China. I plan to call all the doctors who have studied abroad to Bao'an County."
"Another overseas doctor?"
Shen Guoming smacked his lips and said uneasily:
"Xiao Qi, the reason why doctors who studied abroad are no longer popular is because they have their own special reasons. This group of people are more sensitive. If you recruit all of them, won't it cause trouble for the birth?"
Smart people now stay away from these doctors who studied abroad.
In the original history, few of these overseas doctors survived until the reform and opening up in the 1980s.
This also led to the fact that throughout the 1970s and 1980s, my country's medical care was almost completely lagging behind that of foreign countries, with the gap being as big as heaven and as deep as earth.
It was not until the 1990s that we started to catch up again, and it was very difficult because the foundation was almost blank.
It was not until the 21st century that they slowly caught up, but unfortunately they were always one step behind and could not surpass them.
Especially in the field of scientific research, we cannot compare with foreign countries at all. The disadvantage is that we have not laid a solid foundation.
If the doctors who went abroad in the 1960s, especially those who are now 34 years old and in their prime, had done their job well and used advanced foreign medical skills and technologies to strengthen medical research, we would not have lost those 15 years.
In a few decades, our country will also be able to stand among the world's medical powers.
If we rely solely on Lin Sanqi, a time traveler, not much can be changed.
"Godfather, this is what I think: those who have studied abroad, learned medicine, and obtained a diploma cannot be fake. Their level is there, they are definitely top medical talents, rare and precious.
Moreover, these doctors who studied abroad gave up their superior lives abroad and were willing to return to China to build the new China. I think there is no doubt about their ideological awareness.
I know everyone has doubts about this group of people, wondering if there are spies or hostile elements among them who want to destroy our stable society?
In fact, I think this is really unnecessary worry.
How can a doctor be a spy? They deal with bacteria and viruses all day long, and they don't have access to core secrets, so how can they leak secrets?
As for the special doctors in the sea, they are all trained by the organization itself. They are absolutely excellent and there is no chance for doctors from outside.
So I think that doctors who study abroad can be completely trusted. Asking them to go back to their hometowns to farm or sweep the streets in the city is a waste of talent.
Others don’t use it, but we in Bao’an County do.”
Shen Guoming glanced at Lin Sanqi suspiciously, feeling that things were definitely not as simple as he said.
This is to catch all the doctors who studied abroad in the country. Our country is so big, and the total number of doctors who studied abroad is definitely not a small number.
At least it's not something a hospital can afford.
Shen Guoming firmly believes that Lin Sanqi is a smart man. A smart person cannot be unaware of the disadvantages of oversupply of talent and redundant personnel. So why does he insist on doing this?
"Oh, by the way, godfather, in addition to the doctors studying abroad, I am also planning to set up a Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Institute in Bao'an County."
Shen Guoming blinked and asked curiously:
"Bao'an International Hospital follows the Western medicine route, and we also develop and produce Western medicines. Why are you setting up a Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Institute?"
Lin Sanqi thought, why else? To leave a seed for our traditional Chinese medicine.
"Godfather, you're the former director of the Capital Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. You see, Traditional Chinese Medicine is declining. People are more willing to see Western doctors when they're sick. Don't you feel heartbroken? Don't you want to change?"
Shen Guoming sneered twice: “Speak human language.”
Lin Sanqi was embarrassed for a moment, looked around to see if there was anyone around, and then whispered:
"Chinese medicine practitioners are not popular in China now. In addition, those who were able to learn Chinese medicine before liberation and later became masters of Chinese medicine are almost non-existent in ordinary families. This group of people is also sensitive.
For example, Wei Yuanbo, the eldest disciple of my master Xiao Longyou, was assigned to grow herbs at Lantian Farm because his father was an old warlord. This is a huge waste of talent.
So I want to arrange for all the famous Chinese medicine practitioners in the country to come to Bao'an County. If this is not possible, at least I want to arrange for all my senior brothers and sisters to come to Bao'an County."
Shen Guoming pondered for a long time and asked without thinking:
"Is the wind going to blow?" (End of this chapter)
