Chapter 187 Infectious Diseases
“No. 21?! How could our hospital be ranked No. 21?!!” The dean was so excited that his cheeks turned red.
You know, he was thinking that as long as his hospital could be among the top 50 in the country, it would be fine! He didn’t expect that it could even be ranked No. 21 in the country! !
"Ranking 51-100, the hospital can get an additional 510 million in financial grants next year. Ranking 11-50 can get an additional 1.27 billion!" The dean was so excited that he almost counted on his fingers. The ranking has risen from 87 last year to 21 this year. The Sixth Hospital will be able to get an additional 760 million in financial grants!
This money can be used to build hospital infrastructure, purchase advanced equipment, develop hospital scientific research projects, and provide benefits to the many hospital staff!
After carefully reading the list of the top 100 hospitals in the country, the director was so surprised that his eyes lit up. Previously, there were four hospitals in Shenzhen that were higher than them, but now, in the blink of an eye, they have been ranked second in Shenzhen!
As an emerging city, Shenzhen's medical care is still not as good as that of the two established cities of Jinshi and Shangshi. Therefore, when the director saw that 8 of the top 10 hospitals in the country were from these two cities, his face was full of envy. However, no matter what, he was more surprised by the ranking of the Sixth Hospital.
The dean was so happy that he held the screen of his mobile phone and wanted to kiss it twice.
Secretary Cui pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "This is normal. The practical competition accounts for 100 points. According to the proportion of the three exams, we have 11.5 points more than the second place..."
"Although our hospital is still relatively weak in terms of academic papers and specialty reputation this year, this 11.5 points is enough to make the Sixth Hospital move up a notch."
"Once the fiscal appropriation arrives early next year, we will be able to relax the funding for all research projects in our hospital. We will strive to produce more SCI papers next year, and it will be even better if the reputation of our specialty can also rise." The dean smiled and looked at Su Tang. "Doctor Su is 22 this year, right... It seems that our hospital will have to rely on Doctor Su for the next seven or eight years."
The dean grabbed Su Tang and gave her a round of flattery. He looked at Su Tang as if he saw a golden doll falling from the sky.
In fact, isn’t this a golden baby?
This suddenly gave the hospital several hundred million extra in financial grants for next year, and the director was grinning from ear to ear.
I don’t know what the head of this golden doll looks like. It’s so powerful at such a young age!
"Hey, congratulations this year." The director of the Shenzhen First Hospital next door said sourly. Their hospital's scores in scientific research papers and specialty reputation this year clearly exceeded those of the Sixth Hospital, but they were left far behind in this actual combat competition.
The most important thing is that the contestants from the Sixth Hospital are young. He knows without a doubt that they will be able to win the championship for the Sixth Hospital in the next few years just like they did this year.
"Congratulations, five hospitals in Shenzhen are on the list this year, and your hospital is not bad either." The director of the Sixth Hospital, who was always overshadowed by the First Hospital in the past, suddenly felt that he had finally come to the fore this time, and immediately raised his neck to chat with people in Shenzhen.
As they spoke, a group of people looked at the dean of the Sixth Hospital with envy, but many of them were still eager to make a move, thinking about whether they should dig a corner of the Sixth Hospital, otherwise they would be suppressed by this guy for the next seven years, and they always felt unwilling.
Su Tang had no idea that she had become a favorite among many hospital leaders in Shenzhen. She had scored full marks for the Sixth Hospital in two consecutive games, and attracted the attention of all hospitals in this national competition. The organizers, examiners, and even all the candidates were deeply impressed by Su Tang.
And they marvel at the rising star of the future, and countless people wonder how far Su Tang will go in the future.
…………
After the national hospital rankings were released, some were happy while others were sad. Some were high-spirited and vowed to get better results next year, while others were dejected and said that they were too old and might not be able to participate in the competition next year.
A group of people from the Sixth Hospital all stood beside Su Tang with smiles on their faces and talked to her.
Almost every doctor who talked to Su Tang not only envied Su Tang's skills, but also admired Su Tang for being able to achieve such an achievement at such a young age.
Although they failed to make it into the top ten in the country this year, compared to the 80-plus in previous years, their performance this year is already very good.
Even before coming here, most people couldn't believe that the Sixth Hospital could get the current ranking.
"It's a pity that next week is our hospital's traditional annual department competition. But we may not be able to participate this year." Some people were happy that the hospital had achieved a high ranking, but at the same time they couldn't help but sigh and resumed their life in the Sixth Hospital.
"It's fine not to participate. For example, I don't really like the annual department competition. It's too physically demanding..." Another colleague sighed, "Last year's department competition was about basketball, and the first, second, and third places were all won by your surgical building. It's too boring to participate in this competition."
"That's because you're too weak. You need to exercise more." Someone leaned over and teased his companion. He raised his hand and patted his companion's thin shoulder and said, "Besides, this year's competition is not basketball, but CPR."
As a member of the Sixth Hospital family who just joined this year, Su Tang is very interested in the Sixth Hospital's year-end departmental competition.
This is almost the same as the competition in college, and basically every department will have people participating.
However, after thinking about the current number of employees in the general internal medicine department, she suspected that no one in the department could have participated in the competition last year.
"I think Dr. Pan and his team are eager to try CPR this year." Su Tang blinked and thought to herself. CPR is a subject that is tested in college, and it is something that almost every medical staff must know. Even if they are not medical staff, many ordinary people can do it.
But it was still early, and Su Tang didn't plan to think too much about it. In the past few days, she had focused all her energy on cancer patients and didn't ask about things like the department competition.
Seeing that she was busy, Pan Yuhao and others only mentioned it casually during lunch and did not ask her to practice CPR with them.
But at this moment...
Su Tang's cell phone dinged with a text message.
She subconsciously took out her cell phone and opened it.
Pan Yuhao: Dr. Su, the hospital’s MSI group just went crazy! They said our hospital won first place in the national practical assessment competition! Ranked 21st among the top 100 hospitals in the country! This is so exciting!!
Even though Su Tang couldn't see Pan Yuhao's current expression on her phone, she could still tell how excited Pan Yuhao was through the text messages. Su Tang raised the corners of her lips slightly, and tapped on the interface with her fingers, just about to reply to Pan Yuhao.
But the phone screen flashed slightly and a new text message appeared again.
Pan Yuhao: It’s great that you guys are done with the competition! Come back and practice CPR with us! The damn Academic Affairs Department said that this year’s department competition will be different. The competition is about patients who are injured in car accidents and need CPR.
Su Tang was confused: “……???”
No, the competition is next week. Is it too late for her to go back and practice now? Besides, there are patients waiting for her in the department and the central hospital.
"Ding Dong!" Along with the SMS alert sound, the other party sent a message again.
Pan Yuhao: There are three of us, Fatty Bear and Ma Jun. Two of us carry the stretcher, and one carries the first aid kit. We practice CPR every day, but we don't have any patients! Doctor Su, when you come back, you lie on the stretcher and pretend to be the one who got into a car accident and needs to be rescued! When Ma Jun and I carry the stretcher and run around, we will try our best not to throw you to the ground.
Su Tang: “…………”
Pan Yuhao: Dr. Su, don't worry. We are all gentlemen in our department. We will definitely not have an incident like the orthopedic colleague next door who broke his ribs the day before yesterday.
Su Tang: “…………” I’m even more worried!
Su Tang wiped her face fiercely. She felt that even the flattery that the dean threw at her three minutes ago and the first place in the practical competition were not good enough when put together.
When we came for the third round of the National Practice Competition, we took the green train, and when we returned, we still took the same train.
However, in order to take care of some patients who had just undergone surgery and could not return home, some volunteers and supervisors from the organizing committee stayed to take care of the patients.
This made Su Tang and other contestants feel a little embarrassed, so many hospitals chose to let the contestants or other doctors who came with the team to accompany the exam stay for a few more days. As for some patients with more serious symptoms who needed to stay in the hospital for a long time, the organizers sent them to several hospitals in the neighboring Qingfeng City for free post-treatment.
Su Tang and others also stayed for five more days. When the group returned to Shenzhen by bus, they were all in high spirits and very happy.
Even the slight regret that Wei Yan left early due to work was suppressed by Su Tang. In fact, she still didn't know how to answer him.
As a single person for two lifetimes, Su Tang is both excited and a little cautious about facing love.
She planned to think about it carefully after returning and then explain it to Wei Yan seriously.
………………
At the same time.
In many hospitals around the world, many doctors are in a state of panic.
Especially some medical staff in respiratory medicine and respiratory surgery departments, due to the sudden increase in workload in the department, they are forced to work around the clock!
"Director, look at this patient. He has a fever, chest pain, cough, and elevated body temperature... and look at the blood test and X-rays. These are typical symptoms of pneumonia. But look at these cases. They are all pneumonia. I remember that at this time last year, there were not so many pneumonia patients."
A doctor in his 30s or 40s, wearing a mask, stood in a remote corridor with the head of the respiratory department. His expression was serious and he spoke in a low voice: "And I think something is wrong. Look at these files, one, two, three, four, five. My goodness, these five pneumonia patients are all from the same family. Could this be an infectious disease?"
Generally speaking, although diseases such as colds and pneumonia can occur in any season, the number of patients usually increases when the seasons change, which can be regarded as a seasonal characteristic of such diseases.
However, this seasonality often occurs in winter and spring, rather than in winter at the end of December.
There will never be a situation where a family of five all get pneumonia!
It would be hard to justify saying that this is not an infectious disease.
In China, infectious diseases are classified into three categories according to their severity: A, B and C. Whether it is the most severe Class A infectious disease such as plague or the least severe Class C infectious disease such as leprosy, they must be reported immediately! As the outpost for receiving patients with various respiratory diseases all year round, the Department of Respiratory Medicine has also encountered patients with Class C infectious diseases such as leprosy and influenza.
However, the probability of severe infection of this type of pneumonia, which has infected five members of a family, is far greater than that of the common influenza.
The head of the respiratory department was breathing heavily, and was afraid to think any further. He could only lower his voice and said, "Hurry up and notify all the medical staff in the department, as well as the door guards. No one is allowed to leave the department for the time being."
"Also, try not to let other patients and their families come into contact with the pneumonia patients in the department. Arrange these five pneumonia patients in the extra-large ward at the back of the department, and let them stay in one room. As for the patients originally staying in that ward, ask the head nurse to help switch wards. I'll call the infectious disease department and the laboratory department to come over and re-examine these patients!"
