The medical staff around looked at Li Zheng with some confusion.
He wanted to keep the patient for surgery, and everyone understood his original intention. However, his promise of a 200 yuan hospitalization fee was a bit inappropriate. After all, surgery involves a lot of manpower and material resources, and a 200 yuan hospitalization fee would only bring the hospital a small profit. If something went wrong during the treatment, the hospital might even have to pay out the money.
Chen Dayong stood aside with his mouth wide open in surprise.
In the city hospital, the hospitalization fee for appendectomy surgery is at least 500 yuan. Brother, are you not very clear about the current market conditions?
The middle-aged man felt uneasy when he saw how young Li Zheng was. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Who will perform the surgery? Will it be an intern?"
"I'll do it, don't worry. I've worked in the No. 1 Municipal Hospital for several years and have performed hundreds of appendectomies!" Li Zheng looked at the middle-aged man with a serious expression and a firm gaze, his tone revealing full confidence.
Seeing Li Zheng's confidence, the middle-aged man no longer hesitated, nodded heavily, and said, "Okay, we'll be admitted to the hospital and do it in your emergency room!"
Li Zheng nodded slightly, turned to the patient and said, "From now on, you must not eat or drink."
Then, he looked at the head nurse and said in a calm tone, "Head nurse, please arrange for someone to assist the patient with the hospitalization procedures and complete the preoperative examination as soon as possible."
There is no dedicated operating room in the emergency department, so surgery must be performed in the hospital's operating room.
Li Zheng thought for a moment and then said to Director Tang, "Director Tang, please notify the operating room and arrange an emergency appendectomy."
Director Tang had been quietly observing the entire process of Li Zheng's consultation. Li Zheng's commanding tone made her feel a little unhappy.
Furthermore, Li Zheng did not discuss the patient's hospitalization fees with her and acted on his own, which also made her feel a little dissatisfied.
The high spirits I had in the morning suddenly dissipated a lot.
Director Tang frowned slightly. Although she had some thoughts in her mind, she still instructed the head nurse to arrange for someone to complete the admission procedures for the patient. Afterwards, she called Li Zheng, Chen Dayong and others to the office.
"Doctor Li, isn't 200 yuan for hospitalization too little?" Director Tang said in a low voice with a serious expression. She raised her head slightly and looked straight at Li Zheng.
Li Zheng shook his head slightly and explained seriously, "Director, if the emergency department wants to develop, it must adopt a differentiated competitive approach. Currently, the most direct and effective way is to reduce hospitalization fees. An appendectomy costs two hundred yuan, and if we can do ten in a day, that's two thousand yuan!"
"Ten?"
Director Tang's eyes widened in surprise. "The surgery department only does two or three cases a day at most. How could you handle ten? Besides, where would so many patients come from?"
Chen Dayong was also shocked.
In the municipal hospital, it is indeed possible to perform ten appendectomies a day, but that cannot be accomplished by just one doctor or a group of doctors.
Brother, even if we take turns to perform the surgery and do ten cases a day, we will be exhausted!
Li Zheng shook his head again: "Don't worry about the number of patients. As long as we spread our reputation, we will never run out of appendectomies!"
Director Tang, remembering Li Zheng's previous record of leaving gauze inside a patient, felt a little worried. She glanced at Chen Dayong and said, "An appendectomy should take at least an hour, including writing medical orders. Are you planning to work 24 hours a day? How can you guarantee medical safety?"
Li Zheng smiled faintly and said confidently, "We can concentrate our operations on patients during the day. Unless they are particularly serious emergencies, we will try not to schedule surgeries in the second half of the night!"
Chen Dayong knew Director Tang's concerns and quickly added, "I can perform more surgeries, and every operation will be performed by the two of us!"
Director Tang nodded, his expression slightly softened, but he was still not optimistic about this plan.
Seeing that Director Tang was still hesitating, Chen Dayong straightened his expression and said seriously, "Director Tang, don't worry, there will be no problem. Our emergency department needs to develop surgery, and we must master such a basic and large-scale operation as the appendix!"
Director Tang took a deep breath, calmed himself, and said, "Let's put it this way. We need the hospital's approval to perform the emergency appendectomy. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to the general surgery department. I'll contact Director Zhang right away."
After saying that, she turned and walked out of the office, went to the nurses' station, picked up the old-fashioned telephone, and skillfully dialed the dean's office.
When Chen Dayong saw Director Tang leave, he quickly approached Li Zheng and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what do you think?"
Li Zheng smiled faintly and said, "That's what I thought!"
Chen Dayong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Zheng carefully. Seeing that he didn't seem to be doing anything rash, he nodded and said, "Brother, no matter what decision you make, I support you unconditionally!"
After reporting the situation, Director Tang hung up the phone and turned back to the office.
"How is it?" Chen Dayong asked impatiently.
Director Tang nodded and said, "The dean told you to go for it!"
With the support of the dean, Director Tang no longer hesitated and quickly began to deploy the work.
…
The news that an emergency appendectomy was required quickly reached the surgery department.
In the surgery office, Wang Jiancheng was sitting at his old desk, crossing his legs and listening leisurely to the report of a resident doctor in the department.
After listening to it, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a hint of disdain, and he said: "Li Zheng's appendectomy surgery was a mess. Let him do it! Maybe there will be another medical accident. Let's see what he will do then!"
