Since arriving in the provincial capital, Xiao Jiu has not only had to give reports at military hospitals, but also to give academic lectures on neurosurgery at the top hospitals in the province, such as the First Affiliated Hospital and the People's Hospital. After class, he also has to attend various gatherings.
She shouldn't have attended this kind of gathering, but her interpersonal relationships were extensive, and especially when some salespeople from state-owned medical institutions appeared at the gathering, she knew who the payer was that day.
Throughout history, this industry has always been extremely profitable. Regardless of whether there are unscrupulous merchants or not, this industry has never been peaceful.
Even within the hospital's internal promotion system, signs of corruption have already begun to emerge.
She can't even focus on her academic research right now. If you don't attend certain gatherings, you can't attract investment. Without investment, their research can't progress. She can't keep putting money into it herself, can she?
Unless one day she accumulates enough capital to invest in her own research lab, then no one can control her anymore.
But then again, how do you become capital?
Does wanting to become a big boss and make money also mean getting deeply involved in it?
In the end, we've come full circle.
In this world, people who are too upright are often isolated.
It had only been a week, and she was already exhausted, both physically and mentally. If it weren't for the extra time she had to rest.
Anyone would be exhausted from working non-stop, yet they still wouldn't let her go and demanded that she postpone her departure.
She wouldn't have applied for further leave from her workplace if it weren't for the challenging situation involving several critically ill patients.
"Little Jiu? Is that you, Little Jiu?"
There was a surgery that required her intervention that afternoon, and she had just entered the director's office after her lunch break.
Then she heard a voice that was both strange and familiar calling her.
She subconsciously looked up and saw Zhou Shengnan, dressed in military green, staring at her with a light in her eyes.
Xiao Jiu was also shocked, "Sister Shengnan? What are you doing here?"
The surgeon, seeing that the two knew each other, quickly introduced them.
"Comrade Zhou, I didn't expect you to know Dr. Tao, whom we specially invited."
What a coincidence! Comrade Tao is our external aid for today's surgery.
With her there, your mother-in-law's chances of survival for surgery can increase to at least 80%.
The two, ignoring his nagging, had already embraced each other in excitement. Zhou Shengnan even cried tears of joy, patting Tao Tao's back with choked sobs.
"You brat, you've been gone for so many years, how could you not even leave a message?"
When I asked the girl in Yuanyuan, she couldn't say either, which made me think something had happened to you, and then I ran into your fifth sister.
"I just found out you've been off doing something big! No wonder I haven't been able to get in touch with you all these years. When did you get back?"
"I'm sorry, I went back to China last National Day holiday, and then got married in Northeast China. After returning to work after the New Year, I started flying all over the country."
I've been so busy I haven't had time to get together with you all, but I know you're doing well, so I thought I'd try to visit you when I have some free time.
...
The two were chatting enthusiastically when they suddenly heard a soft cough. Zhou Shengnan turned around and quickly wiped away the tears on her face.
With a trembling voice from crying, she pulled over a tall, handsome man dressed in a cadre uniform, exuding righteousness.
"Old Geng, let me introduce you. This is the person I mentioned to you before, the one who influenced my life, my idol and high school classmate, Comrade Tao Tao."
Upon hearing Tao Tao's name, Geng Yun exclaimed "Oh dear!"
"It's true that seeing is believing. Hello, hello. Let me introduce myself. I am Geng Yun, the wife of Comrade Zhou Shengnan."
My name is a combination of my father's and mother's surnames.
"It's a pleasure to meet Comrade Tao. I've long heard of your amazing talent. It's our honor to meet such a genius."
The surgeon seized the opportunity to mention, "Professor Tao, his mother is Yunying, today's patient."
Seeing the admiration in Geng Yun's eyes, Xiao Jiu returned the handshake somewhat shyly.
"I dare not accept such praise, but I have reviewed Comrade Yunying's medical records in detail, and we have also held a preoperative seminar on this matter."
I can't guarantee 100% success, but I will do my best to complete this challenge. Please relax for now.
When the surgery was mentioned, Xiao Jiu immediately switched to her work mode, giving the doctor instructions before the surgery and urging them to follow up on any unexpected situations.
"Sister Shengnan, I still need to go inside to prepare. You all rest for a bit, and I'll do my best!"
After offering Zhou Shengnan and her family ample comfort, Xiao Jiu went into the operating room with the surgeon.
As Zhou Shengnan watched her departing figure, the light in her eyes only increased, and the adoration on her face was so intense that even her husband standing beside her couldn't bear to look at her.
"She looks so young, she's even younger than you, really...?"
Zhou Shengnan turned her head and glared at her, "What do you know? Do you think she wasted those ten-plus years abroad?"
They're experts specially invited by the hospital. Do you know what an expert is?
She was exceptionally gifted from a young age, skipping all the way to school and getting into a military hospital as if it were nothing.
"Besides her, who else do you think could perform this surgery?"
Geng Yun is now the head of a county. With his current abilities, the fact that he was able to arrange for his mother to have surgery at a military hospital in the provincial capital is already thanks to his connections.
He was incredibly excited when he learned that the vice president of a military hospital in Shenyang would personally come to perform the surgery.
They said, 'Our expert just returned from abroad. You're lucky; she's going back to Henan Province. Taking advantage of this seminar, you can invite her to participate, which will significantly increase the success rate of the surgery.'
Unexpectedly, his wife knew this expert. Although he was a bit young, he wasn't so foolish as to not know what was good for him.
Yunying has a glioma. If it were a low-grade glioma (level 1 or 2), it would be possible to remove it with current medical conditions and the capabilities of existing doctors. However, hers is a high-grade glioma (level 3). Whether it can be completely removed depends on the degree of malignancy, the extent of its growth, and the effectiveness of surgical removal, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.
In this day and age, cancer is not so badly treated with drugs, and doctors are generally conscientious and not entirely driven by profit.
The patient himself was unwilling to undergo surgery, and if it weren't for the insistence of Geng Yun and his wife, he might have given up on life and death.
It was only because Geng Yun and his wife were well-off and didn't care about the cost of the surgery, plus the old lady was a kind person, that the surgery was possible.
Neurosurgery, also known as neurosurgery, is a department where doctors are experts in delicate procedures, as the movement of a single nerve in the brain can affect the entire body, requiring exceptional skill.
It's common for a surgery to last seven or eight hours, and the pressure on doctors during that time is unimaginable.
After the surgeon entered the operating room, he handled the preliminary and post-operative work, while Tao Tao took over the key aspects of the surgery.
And she kept a close eye on it the whole time; thankfully, the location of the old lady's glioma was still within their control.
At three o'clock in the morning, Xiao Jiu finished the entire surgery. When the old lady was wheeled out of the operating room, she let out a long sigh of relief.
"I have fulfilled my mission!"
