Chapter 605 They Dare Not Spend Money
As it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, Yu Zhiming, who had finished his work for the day, brought Zhou Mo to the old specimen building.
Here, the sound insulation decoration of the third underground floor has been completed, and Yu Zhiming is needed to come and inspect the sound insulation effect.
The scaffolding outside the old specimen building has been removed.
The old building, which has been re-insulated and has an aluminum facade, looks brand new, like a newly built small Western-style building.
Yu Zhiming knew that this was just a vanity project with a shiny exterior, but the building inside was an old building that was at least forty years old and had been renovated several times.
"Doctor Yu..."
Director Dong from the Logistics Department came out of the specimen building wearing a safety helmet and handed over two safety helmets.
Yu Zhiming reached out and took a safety helmet and put it on.
He followed Director Dong into the first-floor lobby and saw four workers busy at work.
Director Dong explained, "The internal renovation project consists of two main parts. The water and electricity in the entire building have been used for many years and have shown varying degrees of aging. This time, all of them have been replaced."
"Also, the two old elevators were replaced with new ones, and the elevator shafts were reinforced."
Yu Zhiming uttered a soft "oh" and listened to Director Dong continue his introduction with enthusiasm: "The hard decoration is now complete. We will strive to complete the installation and commissioning of the soft decoration and equipment in another month and a half."
"I've been keeping an eye on the renovation and decoration work here. It will be put into use in mid-March. There will be absolutely no problems."
Yu Zhiming said politely, "Thank you for your hard work, Director Dong."
Director Dong said with a smile: "It's not hard at all. This is my duty."
"This is where you'll be working, Doctor Yu. You must strive for excellence. While ensuring speed, you can't compromise on quality in the slightest."
Zhou Mo, who was accompanying him, saw that Director Dong, a mid-level hospital leader with real power, was acting almost fawningly, so he tried hard to keep a straight face and not let his contempt show.
She could also understand why Director Dong behaved like this.
At the hospital fundraising reception that just took place, a record-breaking amount of funds was raised, exceeding 500 million yuan.
This number is more than four times the previous record.
Zhou Mo Ke also heard about it.
In the past few days, many enterprises and institutions have come to discuss donations.
As the hospital becomes more wealthy, the logistics department will have more work to do, and income from all aspects will increase accordingly.
It can be predicted that as long as Dr. Yu is there, Huashan Hospital will receive a lot of social donations every year.
Director Dong naturally wanted to worship Dr. Yu like the God of Wealth.
What's more, there might be a time in the future when Dr. Yu, with his amazing medical skills, would be needed to help.
Director Dong led the way attentively, "Doctor Yu, let's take the stairs to the basement."
"Watch your step..."
Director Dong stopped at the basement level and pointed to the rooms inside, introducing: "Doctor Yu, this basement level is the equipment floor where the backup diesel generator set is installed, and the imaging examination room."
"This imaging room is fully equipped with an ultrasound room, an X-ray room, and a CT room, in addition to an MRI machine."
"CT also?" Yu Zhiming was a little surprised.
Nowadays, a mid-range CT with good accuracy costs several million, and a high-end CT costs more than tens of millions.
As far as Yu Zhiming knows, Huashan Hospital has less than ten high, medium and low-end CT machines of different accuracy.
It is mainly equipped in the Radiology Department, as well as other major departments such as outpatient and emergency departments, neurosurgery departments, and oncology departments.
Patients in the center who need imaging examinations usually have to queue up in the imaging department.
Director Dong smiled and replied, "This will become the hospital's diagnostic center, research center, and talent training center. Naturally, the medical imaging equipment must be as comprehensive as possible."
After a deliberate pause, Director Dong continued, "Doctor Yu, a 256-slice Siemens CT will be installed here. The purchase price is nearly 20 million."
Zhou Mo, standing by, couldn't help but ask, "It's so expensive? How many patients do you need to examine in a day to recoup the cost?"
Director Dong chuckled and said, "A 256-slice CT scan costs at least three hundred yuan."
"On average, we can check two to three hundred people a day."
"Under extreme conditions, the CT machine can operate 24 hours a day and can handle over a thousand patients."
Zhou Mo silently calculated in his mind that even if it was 300 per time, and 200 people per day, that would be 60,000 per day.
So one year...
Zhou Mo was quite aware of this and said in surprise, "They've already recovered their investment in less than a year. Isn't the profit too high?"
Director Dong smiled and said, "The maintenance cost of this CT is also quite high. Add to that the cost of consumables and labor, and deduct the cost of inspections and holidays, etc."
"Generally speaking, it takes three years to pay back the investment for this kind of large medical equipment."
As they were talking, the three of them arrived at the second underground floor.
Director Dong told Yu Zhiming that in order not to affect the third underground floor, this place was designed as a warehouse.
In addition, the floors are paved with sound insulation.
Each warehouse is equipped with shelves 20 centimeters above the ground, and goods are not allowed to be placed directly on the ground.
Yu Zhiming expressed his praise and gratitude for such detailed arrangements.
Then they went down the stairs to the brightly lit third floor underground.
Yu Zhiming walked out of the stairs and found that the entire third underground floor had been divided into rooms.
The floor and walls have also been treated, so it can be said that it is in a simple decoration state.
"Doctor Yu, the third basement floor has its own independent central silent air conditioning system, which can ensure effective ventilation and maintain constant temperature and humidity all year round."
Director Dong pushed open another heavy door and said, "Doctor Yu, this is your examination room and office."
Yu Zhiming followed Director Dong into the room and found that it was quite large, about 20 to 30 square meters.
There is also a toilet.
Director Dong then introduced: "Doctor Yu, do you have any ideas for the subsequent renovations?"
"My humble opinion is, separate them in the middle."
"The front is your work area, where you study patients' conditions, examine them, and so on."
"Behind it is a rest area."
Yu Zhiming said with great satisfaction: "Very good. From now on, I won't have to run to the bed car to rest during lunch break."
After a pause, he continued, "Director Dong, Zhou Mo, please go out first. I want to feel the sound insulation here..."
After Director Dong and Zhou Mo left and the door closed, Yu Zhiming stood quietly in the middle of the room and closed his eyes.
He adjusted his breathing and heartbeat while listening to the sounds around him...
Three or four minutes later, Yu Zhiming opened his eyes again with a happy expression on his face.
The quietness here is much better than that of his soundproof bedroom, almost comparable to the air-raid shelter deep underground in the Pujiang North Public Security Bureau.
Yu Zhiming was very satisfied.
It can be seen that the decoration company did not cut corners in the sound insulation decoration and definitely put its heart into it.
He left the room, met Director Dong's gaze, and chuckled, "I'm very satisfied with the mute effect."
Director Dong let out a long, exaggerated breath.
"That puts my mind at ease."
"I've been telling that professional renovation company every day that if the soundproofing doesn't satisfy you, Doctor Yu, I won't pay them a single cent."
"Doctor Yu, let's go to the operating room and take a look. They've also been specially soundproofed..."
The operating room is still a bare room.
Yu Zhiming verified the sound insulation effect of the operating room and was quite satisfied.
Next, he looked at every room on the third underground floor one by one.
Next to Yu Zhiming's exclusive examination room is a large office of about 40 to 50 square meters for use by his medical team.
Opposite is a standard examination room of more than ten square meters, used by Yu Zhiming's medical team members to examine patients.
Diagonally across the street is the nurses' station.
Opposite the operating room are three wards.
In addition, there are public toilets.
The entire third underground floor is a small but fully equipped medical station.
Director Dong also said that in the subsequent renovations, special considerations will be given to lighting to simulate the feeling of daytime.
In addition, large high-definition screens will be installed in the rooms and corridors to simulate outdoor scenery...
In the words of Director Dong, having money means you can do whatever you want, and he will definitely create the most comfortable working environment for Dr. Yu.
Yu Zhiming expressed his gratitude.
After completing the inspection, the three returned to the first floor lobby of the old specimen building via the stairs.
Yu Zhiming saw seven or eight decoration workers in the hall, but he didn't care and continued walking towards the door.
Suddenly, a worker wearing camouflage pants was pushed hard from the back. He staggered a few steps and rushed to Yu Zhiming.
Zhou Mo and Director Dong stepped forward at the same time and protected Yu Zhiming behind them.
Director Dong glared and shouted angrily, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
"Where is your leader?"
The worker in camouflage pants stopped moving, took two quick steps back, and explained anxiously, "I don't have any bad intentions, really."
"I just want to ask Dr. Yu to check my body."
Yu Zhiming, who was in a good mood, pulled Zhou Mo, who was blocking his way, aside and looked at the decorator in front of him.
He was a bit dark and thin, of medium height, about thirty or forty years old.
"What's wrong with you?"
When the worker heard Yu Zhiming's question, he quickly explained, "Doctor Yu, my stomach isn't feeling well. I had a CT scan yesterday and found a shadow. The doctor said it's suspected to be cancer."
"Doctor Yu, could you please confirm if it's cancer? If it is, I'll go home for treatment."
"It's too expensive to get treatment in Binhai. I can't afford it."
Yu Zhiming looked at the man in front of him with a face full of bitterness and hatred, sighed, and waved his hand to signal him to come closer.
When the man came closer, Yu Zhiming also put on surgical gloves and reached out to pat and press his stomach area.
After a moment, Yu Zhiming withdrew his hand.
"Did you eat cement with your meal?"
The decorator was a little confused and didn't know how to answer Yu Zhiming's question.
Yu Zhiming didn't wait for his answer and continued, "You don't have stomach cancer, but there is a foreign object the size of an egg in your stomach."
"Let's go get a gastroscopy."
After informing the other party of the test results, Yu Zhiming turned and walked out of the old specimen building.
Director Dong followed Yu Zhiming and sighed softly, "Doctor Yu, you are still too kind-hearted."
"These workers just pretend to be pitiful, thinking only of taking advantage. They earn at least 400 to 500 yuan a day, which is no less than what white-collar workers make. Apart from other things, they can still afford the money for the diagnosis and examination."
Yu Zhiming said softly, "They seem to be making a lot of money, but it's just one person making the money and the whole family spending it."
"They also have to save money for their children's education and marriage, their parents' medical care, and their own retirement."
“They don’t dare spend more money on themselves…”
