Chapter 881: Chapter 422: Giving Account, Exploration Team Expansion Path
"I’m interested in your medical skills and even more interested in the persistence and determination you showed in the process of saving lives just now. My name is Yani, nice to meet you," she said with a smile to Li Jingsheng.
"It’s a special name. I’m very glad to meet you, a fellow colleague. We can shake hands later. Right now, we need to focus on stabilizing the patient’s vital signs,"
Li Jingsheng didn’t immediately stop the chest compressions.
The patient’s heartbeat is still weak, as it has just been restored.
We still need to help with more compressions.
If ventricular fibrillation occurs, we might need to consider defibrillation.
Once we’re in the hospital emergency room, the rescue conditions, equipment, and medication are assured, and the success rate of rescue will be greatly improved.
Fortunately, after the successful heart compressions, no abnormalities appeared in the patient.
As long as the heart and lungs have not been severely damaged by electricity, there is hope for survival.
The worst-case scenario is a heart electrocution that directly burns a hole.
That’s usually incurable.
While compressing, Li Jingsheng focused on the monitor screen changes.
"Yani, it’s your turn to take over. Compress for two more rounds, then stop once his condition is more stable."
"Okay!"
She replied happily.
After taking over from Li Jingsheng, she resumed the compressions.
The patient is on a ventilator now, so no need for manual breathing, and the condition is slightly better.
The patient’s spontaneous breathing is already recovering.
Brainwaves are also starting to become peak-active, which is a good sign.
Originally thought that at least two more auxiliary rounds were needed to be safer.
Unexpectedly, before Yani finished thirty compressions, the patient’s sinus rhythm appeared.
The heart rate has also risen to 89 beats/minute.
The blood pressure has risen too.
Breathing has almost recovered, and we can even consider removing the ventilator.
But it won’t be removed now; the removal will wait until the situation is stable.
"Brought back, brought back! Thanks to both of you teachers!"
The emergency medical staff saw the patient’s vital signs completely restored, and each of them smiled.
"Teacher Yani, nice to meet you! I’m Li Jingsheng, the doctor who runs a small clinic. It’s the one next to the bun shop you passed by today, about ten meters away, called Sunshine Clinic."
Li Jingsheng reached out his hand and shook hers.
Her fingers were long and slender but very thin.
"I know the Sunshine Clinic. I didn’t expect you to be the one running it. A friend told me your treatment for various bone injuries is very skilled. Now that I’ve met you, I definitely want to visit you sometime."
She actually knows Sunshine Clinic.
Now Sunshine Clinic indeed has high visibility, and more and more people are aware of it.
What’s rarer is that Sunshine Clinic has a very good reputation.
Almost all small hospitals and clinics have a shady history during their initial accumulation phase.
Sunshine Clinic has been transparent from the beginning, which is very rare.
Not to mention small hospitals, even some larger private hospitals have various tricks to survive.
To put it bluntly, it’s all about figuring out how to make more money from patients.
Especially after the Fake Faction swept across the country, many public hospitals have followed suit.
Perhaps some doctors and nurses still have a conscience.
But it’s hard to resist seeing others make money, seeing others become rich. If you don’t follow along, you easily face isolation.
If patients pay a little attention, they’ll notice that compared to ten years ago, hospitals now, whether large hospitals or small clinics, have undergone earth-shattering changes.
Services have indeed become more detailed and comprehensive, but prices have also risen significantly.
For a small illness, getting checked in a hospital and staying for two or three days typically costs two or three thousand yuan out-of-pocket, which is common.
This is almost a universal phenomenon.
Poor many civilians, whose monthly income is only around three thousand.
This money is swept away by the hospital in an instant.
No one can say whether this is good or bad. Because human medicine wants to progress cannot be separated from financial support.
If hospitals do not make a profit, doctors and nurses have no income guarantee.
Will so many top students and elites still rush to apply for medical and nursing majors?
Without these high talents’ research and deep cultivation, the progress of medicine would be as hard as reaching the sky.
Moreover, today, every tiny progress in medicine has become myriad times harder than in the past.
Universal healthcare might be the key to solving this puzzle.
Allowing civilians to spend the least money to cure diseases, dare to seek medical help, while enabling hospitals to make profits, continue development funds, and attract a steady stream of top talents.
This should be everyone’s common vision.
Currently, most hospitals prescribe high-profit, safe, average-effectiveness drugs for patients, which is a common illness.
Obviously, a fifty-cent drug can cure the illness, yet they insist on prescribing another drug that’s tens of times more expensive. And it’s not isolated incidents; it’s common enough that it’s unclear where the issue lies.
The discussion about bad money driving out good money is a hot topic in the medical field, and this trend remains unabated.
After exchanging contact information, Li Jingsheng and Yani walked out of the rescue room one after the other.
"Dr. Li, how is my husband?"
The bun shop owner’s wife grabbed Li Jingsheng’s arm urgently and asked.
"He’s quite lucky, he’s awake now. A preliminary examination shows that the heart, lungs, and brain shouldn’t have suffered significant damage. Once he’s fully awake, he should be able to transfer to a general ward for further treatment,"
Li Jingsheng was very satisfied with the result.
It’s also some comforting news for this neighbor.
If the baozi shop owner really dies, I can hardly imagine the life of her and her children as orphans and widowed.
The baozi shop owner’s wife is still so young, the likelihood of remarrying is quite high.
However, children are a problem.
The man marrying the baozi shop owner’s wife would be happy; she’s fairly good-looking and hardworking. But asking him to raise another man’s child, out of ten men, perhaps nine would refuse.
Children not born of one’s own flesh are often said to be difficult to bond with.
It might happen that after raising them into their twenties, when one is old, the child turns away from their foster father.
There are too many examples of this.
If possible, everyone would prefer to raise a child related to them by blood.
Adopting another’s child is truly a gamble.
Encounter a child who knows gratitude and shows filial piety and it is utterly worthwhile.
If unfortunately faced with an ingrate or a betrayer, the likelihood of a bleak old age is high.
The baozi shop owner’s wife was already in despair.
Because when her husband was rushed into the emergency room, the paramedics said there was no hope.
Yani also mentioned the chances were slim.
Li Jingsheng now tells her that her husband has been saved.
She feels enveloped by immense joy, her knees give out, and she’s about to kneel and kowtow to Li Jingsheng.
"Dr. Li, thank you! You have saved not just my husband, but my entire family."
"Get up, please get up!"
Li Jingsheng helps her to her feet.
"Today’s success in saving your husband is not achievable by me alone. It is thanks to Dr. Yani here. Without her help, whether your husband would survive would have been uncertain."
He quickly attributes the achievement to Yani.
And rightly so.
Before the ambulance arrived, Li Jingsheng and she took turns performing chest compressions; it was due to her expertise that the relay was seamless.
Moreover, after the ambulance arrived, it was Li Jingsheng and her who continued alternating compressions.
The nurse accompanying them lacked the required strength.
The accompanying doctor was merely adequate, but the impact of his compressions could not match up to Yani’s.
Therefore, she truly is the most significant contributor.
"Thank you!"
The baozi shop owner’s wife kneels again to thank Yani.
"Miss, we don’t do this. You must accompany him at the bedside diligently these days, mainly observing for any abnormal reactions. Be cautious of various complications for any patient suffering from electrocution."
Finishing her instructions, Yani looks at Li Jingsheng.
"Dr. Li, I’m leaving now, let’s get in touch when possible."
"Alright, thank you for today! It was me who forcibly kept you here."
Li Jingsheng smiles as they walk out together.
"Where are you going? Let me call a taxi for you!"
She raises her wrist to check her watch.
"I plan to head to Qiaobang Hospital to see if I can explain to the interviewer."
"If you need an attestation, feel free to call me. The Second Hospital can also vouch for you. Additionally, if the application is not successful, I can help introduce you to work at People’s Hospital."
Li Jingsheng dares not suggest inviting her to work at his clinic.
Overseas anesthesiologists have an average annual income of more than 180,000 US dollars.
Converted to RMB, that exceeds 1.26 million.
His Sunshine Clinic simply cannot afford that.
Honestly speaking, domestic anesthesiologists at major hospitals generally earn between twenty to thirty thousand monthly, earning above fifty thousand is rare.
Anesthesiologists and nutrition nurses in the country belong to unappreciated professions.
Big hospitals have their systems; nobody can change that.
This also presents an opportunity for Li Jingsheng’s Sunshine Clinic to seize talent. As long as he can offer a bright future, they would be very inclined to join his team.
In all futures, income is the core.
As long as their income is assured, essentially, people can be knitted tightly together.
A wise person once said that in ancient times, learning literature or martial arts meant mastering skills to serve royalty.
In contemporary times, whether studying or learning skills, forsaking grand meanings, essentially it is to work and earn money.
If earning money wasn’t necessary, believe that at least 90% of people in this world wouldn’t want to work.
Li Jingsheng has always naively aimed to establish the most elite medical team, but how to profit and through what means, this remains a challenge.
Maintaining an elite medical team requires significant funding and must be sustained annually.
If possible, it’s best to ensure an annual increment in team members’ incomes.
This encounter with Yani further nudged his urgent desire for acquiring top talent.
Each meeting with skilled individuals is exceedingly precious.
If assimilated into other teams, extracting them becomes exceedingly difficult.
He currently faces many challenges, his rank is inadequate, as a newly promoted attending physician for just a few months now. Neither the regulatory departments nor the external world recognize his actual ability.
Even if Li Jingsheng’s doctor level has already reached third-level deputy chief physician or multiple medical skills are at chief level, it’s of no use.
To the regulatory departments, patients, and outsiders, he’s just a minor attending physician.
Even peers think the same way.
His aspiration to advance to deputy chief physician would take several years at least.
To become the head nurse is a particularly lengthy process.
Even with his exceptionally superior conditions, advancing to deputy chief physician level poses no pressure. Most doctors spend their entire lives stuck at the attending physician level.
