Han City University, Institute for Science and Technology Development.

"Dean Wang, can you take responsibility for this? This is no joke!" A thin, middle-aged man in an executive jacket asked in a doubtful tone.

As the administrative president of Zhongnan Hospital, Wang Xinghuan's words should carry considerable weight.

But Du Xiao still felt that what Wang Xinghuan said was a little outrageous!
First time creating an original work!

World class.

First-class.

It has redefined the absolute forefront of current trauma surgery in terms of the types of diseases treated.

If this happened at Tongji Union Hospital, there's still a chance it might happen. But if even the affiliated People's Hospital of Wuhan University issued such a statement, Du Xiao would be more inclined to believe it.

Zhongnan Hospital?

If Zhongnan Hospital had not been an affiliated hospital of the former Hubei Medical University, it might not have been chosen by Wuhan University as one of its affiliated hospitals.

Du Xiao is the Vice President of the Institute of Scientific Development and the Director of the Platform Conditions and Achievements Management Division. He is mainly responsible for the planning, construction, operation and management of scientific and technological innovation platforms, as well as scientific and technological awards.

This time, Wang Xinghuan came to connect with Du Xiao because their business synergy was good.

"Dean Du, there's a limit to jokes. How could I dare to joke about something like this?"

"You could say that our hospital's current professional achievements have been recognized by our peers in the industry."

“Our trauma surgeons have already performed teaching surgeries at renowned orthopedic hospitals such as Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital and Tongji Hospital.”

Wang Xinghuan did not lower himself; instead, he made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Du Xiao could look at the relevant information.

He continued, "This is not just a simple exchange among peers, but a real teaching surgery, and there is corresponding evidence such as materials, reports, and invitations."

“Our unit’s research department has compiled them all; Dean Du might want to take a look.”

Du Xiao was also very honest: "Dean Wang, I'm sorry, our department is indeed very busy. As you know, many of our school's majors are quite excellent, so we have a lot of things to handle."

"I haven't seen your institute's materials yet."

Du Xiao is a pragmatist. After admitting his ignorance, he sent another message asking someone to send over the relevant materials.

He then said, "Dean Wang, actually your hospital is an affiliated hospital of our hospital, and it is a unit directly under the Hubei Provincial Health Commission. Your hospital's jurisdiction does not belong to our Wuhan University!"

"Shouldn't you recommend these matters to the Provincial Health Commission?"

Du Xiao has a fairly clear understanding of some major trends, such as Tongji and Xiehe Hospitals in Wuhan, which are comprehensive hospitals directly under the National Health Commission.

Some matters concerning the hospital can be directly reported to the National Health Commission.

Wang Xinghuan actually harbored some resentment, but he didn't complain at the moment. He simply said, "Dean Du, we have already submitted a report, but our superiors have other considerations and therefore do not support it."

"But I still believe that our hospital's development is closely related to the university it relies on. Our own university's Science and Technology Development Institute is the one that places the most emphasis on scientific and technological development!"

How could Wang Xinghuan not have reported it? It's just that those reports all disappeared without a trace.

Wang Xinghuan received two private replies from leaders of some higher-level units.

First of all, isn't your hospital supposed to be all that powerful? If you can't get any connections and resources aren't working for me, then why should I support you?

Secondly, you should not cause any trouble. These resources are relatively scarce right now. You can have your academic exchanges, but it's not suitable for large-scale promotion at the moment!

Wherever there are people, there are power struggles. Even leaders of the Provincial Health Commission hope to get a piece of the pie when medical resources are used as exchange goods.

However, Liu Huanglong's decision to broadcast the entire process of admitting patients to the hospital caught everyone off guard, making it impossible for anyone to openly disrupt the procedure!

Before his department began admitting a large number of patients with functional impairments, Liu Huanglong had already started live-streaming the queuing process, which has garnered a large following.

At this time, anyone who dares to abuse their power for personal gain is just asking for trouble.

Even disregarding Liu Huanglong's extensive network of connections, the sheer number of onlookers is enough to cause a major uproar for some people.

To subdue the enemy without fighting is the wisdom of foresight.

This is the ingenuity of Liu Huanglong, the current administrative director of the Department of Trauma Surgery.

In the current situation, if Liu Huanglong were to stop his daily live queuing broadcasts, it would likely attract widespread attention and heated discussion!

Who would dare to make any underhanded moves under such circumstances?
Upon hearing this, Du Xiao nodded slightly: "Dean Wang, on behalf of our institute, I thank you for your recognition."

"However, we'll have to wait until I've reviewed the relevant materials before making any decisions."

Du Xiao neither responded nor refused directly. Instead, he waited for Xiao Zhou in the office to organize all the materials and place them in front of him before he began to read them slowly.

After reading it, Du Xiao kept looking up and asking, "According to the statistics, in the United States alone, there are millions of amputees, with about 200,000 new amputees every year!"

"Is this data real or fake?"

Wang Xinghuan said, "This is publicly available data, and its authenticity is hard to determine, but it is official data."

As is well known, official data is generally slightly less than the actual data.

Not many.

Wang Xinghuan continued, "Our country's population is several times that of the United States, and our average level of medical care is far inferior to that of the United States. I'm talking about the average level. Based on this, it is estimated that the number of new amputees in our country each year is at least five to ten times that of the United States."

"Dean Du, in China alone, 280,000 patients suffer from amputations due to diabetic foot every year!"

“Trauma, car accidents, infections and other factors cause at least hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of similar patients every year.”

"Although I am not an orthopedic specialist, I still felt shocked when I heard this data. Our orthopedic colleagues in the hospital were able to make the first incision on this tough nut and tear off the root of the 'malignant disease'. There is no reason for it to be confined to our Zhongnan Hospital."

"This surgery should benefit more patients!"

"Limb-preserving surgery will undoubtedly be a hot medical topic in Wuhan and even Hubei Province in the next few years!"

Du Xiao continued watching, and when he saw that the amputation rate for patients requiring amputation at Zhongnan Hospital was only 1 in 88.

She then asked, "What's with this '1'? Not all limb salvage surgeries can be performed, right?"

Wang Xinghuan reviewed the materials in detail and said, "Dean Du, this patient suffered an external injury but did not have insurance and could not afford the medical expenses, so he chose amputation on his own."

"The trauma surgery department has included such case data in its statistics, which shows that their data is authentic."

"Moreover, all the data, including follow-up records, are still in the follow-up process!"

“This research project has not been approved in the city or province, and there is no funding support. With only some free research funds allocated by our hospital, it is unrealistic to subsidize the patients being treated.” “Dean Du, our hospital does not have much free funding allocated to departments, and it is even more impossible for departments to bear this cost.”

"So, this isn't a technical problem..."

"Currently, the Department of Trauma Surgery at Tongji Hospital affiliated with Huazhong University of Science and Technology, the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and West China Hospital affiliated with Sichuan University are all exploring and learning this new surgical technique."

"Therefore, I hope our hospital can receive some financial support."

Wang Xinghuan certainly couldn't say, "I'm here to complain. You should report this technique to the Ministry of Education and let them take a look. Such a great technique of ours cannot be disseminated through official channels."

That's a bit unreasonable.

If they can obtain official approval, even just a single announcement, the publicity department of Zhongnan Hospital is ready to publish some of the data on the official website.

Even if we don't want to create news, we should at least let the public know what's going on.
Hospital advertising also needs to be reviewed!

“Okay, Dean Wang, but I can only say I’ll try faxing it over.” Du Xiao put the materials away.

In fact, Du Xiao could guess the hidden meaning in Wang Xinghuan's words.

This matter may be difficult, and Du Xiao is aware of this.

But Du Xiao represents not only the Science Research and Development Institute, but also Han City University.

The influence of a university or college is comprehensive.

The medical field plays a significant role in enhancing the overall influence of many universities. For example, the Xiangya Hospital and Xiangya Medical College of Central South University have had a tremendous impact on the university's overall strength.

The same applies to Huazhong University of Science and Technology!

If the affiliated hospitals of Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Seoul National University were relocated, Seoul National University's overall ranking could improve significantly.

At this point, the chances of poaching talent from other hospitals are slim; the only option is to focus on improving the capabilities of our affiliated hospitals.

"Dean Wang, is the Department of Orthopedics at Zhongnan Hospital a provincial-level key specialty or something else?" Du Xiao asked.

A hospital's development prospects extend beyond just being a top-tier tertiary hospital; there are many other avenues for future growth.

For example, if a school doesn't have a municipal-level key specialty, it should apply for a municipal-level key specialty; if it doesn't have a provincial-level key specialty, it should strive to become a provincial-level key specialty.

Above provincial key specialties, there are also national key specialties and national key disciplines.

National key disciplines are selected by the Ministry of Education, with a greater emphasis on scientific research and teaching. They are disciplines that the country selects and prioritizes for development based on its development strategy and major needs, aiming to cultivate innovative talents and conduct scientific research.

The National Key Specialties are selected by the National Health and Family Planning Commission, which places more emphasis on clinical skills and research papers. It is a project launched by the Ministry of Health in 2011, aiming to improve clinical skills and medical service capabilities!

Upon hearing this, Wang Xinghuan replied, "No, Dean Du, our hospital's orthopedics department has always been quite strong, ranking among the top in the province and even the country."

"Our hospital's orthopedics department is one of our eight national key specialties."

"It is precisely because of our solid foundation that we have been able to cultivate such an outstanding new generation of doctors, which will continue to advance the development of our hospital's orthopedics department."

The orthopedics department of Zhongnan Hospital is very strong, comparable to that of the Provincial People's Hospital, and its trauma surgery department has consistently ranked among the top three in recent years.

Regardless of how outsiders comment, they cannot avoid mentioning Deng Yong, one of the three major figures in Hubei Province.

"Dean Wang, how could something like this happen in the Department of Orthopedics, a national key clinical specialty? That's quite a coincidence. This functional reconstruction surgery must be truly extraordinary." Du Xiao understood.

It's not that the orthopedics department at Zhongnan Hospital isn't good enough, it's that it's too good, so some people are afraid they can't compete with others.

In that case, you won't be able to enjoy the resources right at your doorstep!
That's why they decided to postpone the promotion and development.

……

September 9th, Sunday, noon.

Fang Ziye took a short rest in the chief inpatient office.

Today, he personally took his senior brother Yan Zhiming to a consultation. After the consultation, it was almost lunchtime, so Fang Ziye didn't plan to go back to his rented room.

Luo Tingzhu is an outstanding and hardworking person.

Her success is partly due to her talent, but mostly due to her hard work.

Over the weekend, she locked herself in the lab for more than 30 hours, only going back to sleep for six hours.

Fang Ziye didn't know when Luo Tingzhu returned; all he knew was that when he woke up, Xiangfeng was the only one beside him.

Luo Tingzhu didn't even invite Fang Ziye to have breakfast together.

Luo Tingzhu also took care of her own lunch.

"Let's have a braised chicken." Fang Ziye really didn't know what to eat, so he ordered one on a whim.

Whether it's healthy or not is another matter. It's good enough to have something to eat. He's already the chief resident, why should he be picky about the food?

After quickly placing the order and paying, Fang Ziye asked, "Tianluo, did you buy any good wine?"

Today is Sunday, which can be considered a day off.

Therefore, Yuan Weihong moved the Teachers' Day dinner to noon today!
It wasn't that Yuan Weihong wanted to go to Professor Deng Yong's Teachers' Day dinner, but rather that he moved the dinner forward based on Fang Ziye's principle that he absolutely could not drink alcohol on weekdays.

At this time, Nie Mingxian had not left yet, and Wu Xuanqi was also in Han City. Even if there was an emergency, these two could take care of things.

"Senior brother, the wine has arrived. I'll take it over in a bit. I bought four bottles in total, and two bottles are more than enough for me."

"We'll meet at 3 PM!"

"Around 3:20, we'll carry a few boxes to visit our master, have some tea at his house, and then we'll go out for dinner together." Lan Tianluo had already arranged the time.

"Okay, then it's settled."

"Oh, that's it. Master is calling!" Fang Ziye's phone rang.

Lan Tianlu hung up the phone very sensibly.

As soon as Fang Ziye answered the phone, Yuan Weihong's extremely urgent voice came through!
"Ziye, where are you now?"

"I don't care where you are, get to the animal lab right now! Damn it, there are reporters from Longtai here, damn it!" Yuan Weihong was very anxious, and there seemed to be the sound of shoes being thrown on the ground.

It's clear that Yuan Weihong had just received the news as well.

Lung Tai? The most official state media besides the Chinese community?
