Chapter 1057: Chapter 1056, Roll Call

“Didn’t you say you want to perform a thoracotomy?”Wei Qing looked at the thoracoscopic screen beside the operating table anxiously.
From the outside, the screen looked like an ordinary computer screen. The logo of Storz hung in the upper left corner, indicating its extraordinary… price.
Director Kang’s gaze also fell on the logo of Storz, he laughed bitterly. “The original plan was to open the chest, but she didn’t do it for this patient… sigh, it’s a young girl. She’s only 18 years old. I can’t even say it out loud if she forced her to do a thoracotomy.”
A thoracotomy required the rib to be cut open. Even the simplest repair of an atrial septal defect might require three stitches after the chest was opened. However, for this needle, a 30-centimeter scar could not escape.
Wei Qing was not a stubborn old fogey. She only had to look down at department director Kang’s collarbone to know what was going on.
Girls nowadays were willing to go on the operating table and perform general anesthesia surgery just for the sake of looking a little better. They dared to poke holes in the jaw..
After a thoracotomy, the arm-long scar that started from the lower part of the neck would never disappear.
It could be imagined that in order to preserve the whiteness of her chest, as long as there was a tiny bit of other choice, most young girls would not choose to open their chests.
Not to mention, the prognosis of the thoracotomy was even worse, and the recovery after the surgery was even more difficult, and the effect of the surgery might not be as good as that of the thoracoscopy.
“This patient has come to our hospital to see us two or three times, and she has given up on the surgery every time. Her defect is a little too big, so it’s definitely not possible to perform an intervention. “If it’s a thoracoscopy, it might really be the most suitable.”Department director Kang’s expression was not very natural.
If it was possible, he did not want to explain anything to Wei Qing. However, she was here to support him as a reinforcement. If he did not explain, it did not seem reasonable.
“In my impression, our hospital’s cardiology department has never performed a full-thoracoscopic surgery, right?”Wei Qing was still familiar with this kind of cutting-edge information. In fact, there was no need for any effort. Everyone basically had some understanding of what level of surgery and equipment the department of his hospital could perform.
Director Kang nodded embarrassedly. “I’ve never done it before.”
“I heard that it’s quite difficult?”Wei Qing did not know much about the outside of the chest. However, if you flipped through the journals of the past few years or browsed the industry news on your phone, you would occasionally see the words “Full-thoracoscopic appendectomy”..
Of all the people present, director Kang was naturally the most professional. At this moment, he sneered and said, “You’ve gone all the way from laparotomy to laparoscopic surgery. is full-laparoscopic appendectomy difficult?”
Wei Qing was stunned for a moment. “Is it almost as difficult as laparoscopy?”
“What do you mean by reading?”Department director Kang’s attitude was no longer very good. “The difference in difficulty between laparotomy appendicitis and laparoscopy appendicitis is as great as the difference in difficulty between thoracotomy and thoracoscopic surgery.”
“That’s a different difficulty.”
“That’s what I meant.”Department director Kang pursed his lips.
Wei Qing finally got to the main point. He whispered again, “Can Ling ran do it? Where did he learn it from?”
“I don’t care. Maybe the pharmaceutical company found a place for him to practice. If he doesn’t tell us, how are we supposed to know?”Department director Kang paused for a moment, he said, “Ling ran has already received the treatment of a department director. It’s not like it’s your first time learning about it.”
Department directors also had the need to continue learning. Some of them could not bring themselves to lose face. In fact, most department directors could not bring themselves to lose face. At times like this, the hospitals they looked for to study in.., or the places where they studied would be more particular.
Wei Qing was just saying this. He could not be bothered to dig deeper and shook his head. Then, he turned to look at ren qi and asked, “Do you know?”
Ren Qi quickly pretended to be dumb. “What?”
Wei Qing waved his hand and turned his head in disappointment. He then looked at department director Kang and said with a light frown, “By the way, Old Kang, are you going to allow him to change the surgical plan at the last minute?”
“The patient will have to change,”department director Kang said.
“That’s true, but if the surgical plan has changed, you can also not let him do it. “Besides, did you let Ling ran perform the first thoracoscopic repair of the atrial septal defect in Yun Hua Hospital?”Wei Qing continued to apply eyedrops.
Right now, he really needed department director Kang to hold on. After all, there was a very high technical threshold for cardiopulmonary bypass. Whether it was the cardiopulmonary bypass or post-traumatic care, they all required considerable technical support and accumulation. It was unlike the General Surgery Department, where every clinician had done it before.
Department director Kang naturally knew what Wei Qing was thinking. However, he did not care about it before, and he did not care about it now.
Department director Kang turned around and looked at the equipment for the thoracoscopy. He said leisurely, “We have never performed the repair of the atrial septal defect under the thoracoscopy. Do you think that it’s because of technical factors, department director Wei?”
“Then what is it?”
“It’s because we don’t have a thoracoscopy.”Department director Kang’s face was as calm as an ancient well. His gaze was focused and did not dissipate. His hands moved slightly, and the corner of his clothes fell quietly with the wind. His entire body exuded the aura of an expert from the beggar’s gang.
Wei Qing had a stomach full of words that were stuck in her stomach. She could not go up, so she could only follow her gut.
Department director Kang, however, opened up the topic of conversation. “The last time I applied to buy two thoracoscopies, I was rejected at the meeting. That was made in China. It cost 108,000 yuan, and the cost of the consumables was only one-fifth of Karl Stoss’. It’s probably not even…”
Most of the time, the General Surgery Department was involved in such matters as getting rid of the budget of other departments. Wei Qing laughed awkwardly and was too embarrassed to say anything.
108,000 yuan was not a lot, but the landlord’s family did not have any surplus food either. It was not as if the budget of 38,100,000 yuan was enough to give the cardiology department an extra 100,000 yuan. Then, wouldn’t it be even more satisfying to save 100,000 yuan to buy an ultrasound knife.
“This Stoss is estimated to cost at least 400,000 yuan. It’s a high-quality version, and the handle is a new version. It’s estimated to be 5.5 yuan…”department director Kang looked at the thoracoscopy beside the bed. With just one glance, he could tell the parameters, it was very similar to a computer enthusiast.
Ren Qi listened very seriously, and his eyes lit up.
When Wei Qing saw it, he frowned a little unhappily and said slowly, “The Emergency Medical Center doesn’t have a thoracoscopy, right? It’s impossible for Ling ran to buy a thoracoscopy by himself, right?”
It was not impossible for the department to use their own money to buy small equipment, or even the treatment group’s small treasury. In hospitals that were not strictly managed, the department could still use small equipment to collect the funds. In the end, there would be plenty of people who could make a profit from it.
However, Yun Hua Hospital did not have any openings in this area. Senior doctors had some financial power. At most, they could buy a piece of equipment in the name of scientific research. It was impossible for them to collect the funds.
A Stus thoracoscopy that cost 400,000 yuan per set could not be considered a small piece of equipment. Even though its size and composition were similar to a game console, the price was obvious. A doctor who paid for such an expensive piece of equipment.., wei Qing had never heard of it before.
Department director Kang’s expression became even calmer. He said in a dull voice, “A pharmaceutical company lent it to Ling ran.”
“Lent…”Wei Qing did not know what to say. This was no ordinary operation.
Department director Kang nodded. “It’s a brand-new Stoss.”
Wei Qing gulped. “This company sure knows how to play. If it were to return the equipment…”
A brand-new equipment worth 400,000 yuan could not be returned. At the very least, based on Wei Qing’s thinking, the medical company would definitely be willing to take such a risk if they were confident. They would first lend the equipment to the doctor, after the Doctor completed several or even dozens of surgeries, he used detailed data and cases to prove himself. Then, through the hospital’s formal procedures, he bought the equipment.
In terms of sales, this kind of sales model was obviously easier to break through the various traps and relationships in the hospital’s procurement, and it was easier to establish a trust relationship.
However, the premise of this kind of sales model was the evaluation of a doctor’s ability.
If it was just a weak doctor who did not have the final say, investing in him would be meaningless. Ling ran had clearly exceeded the standard on this point.
Then, what needed to be paid more attention was that the company was confident that the doctor would be able to correctly complete several or even dozens of surgeries… otherwise, wouldn’t he be making himself suffer by holding a new machine to discuss death?
Wei Qing’s gaze became extremely grave.
This meant that Ling Ran’s skills..
* buzz. * .
The door to the operating theater was pushed open.
“Doctor Ling is here.”
“Doctor Ling!”
In the operating theater outside the heart, the young nurses who were more numerous than the ordinary operating theaters also shouted even louder.
When Wei Qing heard this, he had an inexplicable feeling that it was as if an important person had come to sing his name.
