Dean Sun immediately had a colleague from the Human Resources Office bring out Yang Ping’s CV. After one of the experts had read it, it was handed over to Professor Li.
Professor Li, with a furrowed brow, passed the file to Professor Wang. After Professor Wang finished reading it, the file circulated among the experts, before returning to Professor Li in the end.
After a moment of contemplation, Professor Li said with a stern expression, "Everyone, after obtaining his master’s degree, Yang Ping worked at People’s Hospital in G City, after promotion to attending physician, he was transferred to Sanbo Hospital not too long after, less than two years later, you opened up a Comprehensive Surgery Department for him. I just watched one of his surgeries, he dares to do anything. Scoliosis correction, tumors of the upper cervical spine and brainstem, he even participated in organ transplantation. What can I say about you? There are serious management flaws, no wonder there have been complaints. This is a huge problem. How did you vet this? How did you authorize this? A doctor under thirty, no matter how gifted, should not be . Modern medicine is becoming more and more specialized, it’s already quite impressive for a doctor to achieve something in one specific field throughout his life. How is it possible to cross specializations ? Ridiculous!"
As Dean Xia wasn’t present, Professor Li was even more unguarded in his blunt criticism.
"This orthopedic case’s surgery, honestly, without a decade or more of surgical experience, without training for over a year in top hospitals in Europe and America, there’s no way he could do it. But he actually dared to do it? And you allowed it? This is pure audacity." Followed Professor Li’s tone, Professor Wang also expressed his opinion.
He emphasized the experience of studying in Europe and America, because he himself had once spent a year studying at the renowned Mayo Clinic in the U.S., under an internationally renowned master of plastic surgery. This experience, which he took pride in, he would always bring it up when giving lectures.
"Professor Yang is not an ordinary person, he is a genius. We set up the Comprehensive Surgery Department for him in our hospital in order to provide him with a relaxed and free development environment. As for the authorization, our hospital conducted a thorough investigation, and it was discussed and approved by a team of experts and administrative leaders. His special surgical privileges are only within our hospital." Dean Sun responded calmly to all the questions raised by the investigation team.
"Your authorizations? Do you have the authority to authorize scoliosis correction? Organ transplantation? The country has its own regulations, the industry has its regulations. These all have their own established admission systems. You can authorize? Can you take responsibility if there is a medical accident? Where are you placing people’s health?!" Professor Wang said sharply, somewhat emotional.
It would have been fine if Sanbo Hospital outright admitted its mistakes, but they even dared to argue with their own absurd explanations. Professor Wang was irritated, feeling that the hospital did not take the investigation team seriously.
Dean Sun stated facts, not expecting it to cause Professor Wang’s dissatisfaction, so he immediately clarified:
"I apologize if we may have shortcomings in certain areas, but truly, Professor Yang is an extraordinary surgical genius. So far, there have not been any medical accidents. On the contrary, Professor Yang has saved many patients. And those surgeries you mentioned just now, they were all conducted by Professor Yang after receiving approval from his peers. For surgeries such as correction of scoliosis, Experts like Professor Zhang Zongshun from our hospital, a towering figure in Orthopedics in our country, and the renowned Professor Han Jianguo both supervise him on-site. As for organ transplantation surgeries, our hospital possesses the necessary qualifications for it, and several professors from our transplantation center were present during Professor Yang’s operation. Even Professor Yao from Nandu Affiliated Hospital One was there. Professor Yang’s skills have also been recognized by Professor Yao. As for the authorization, we did not do this recklessly. There is an entire procedure and system in place. It was because Yang Ping truly is a medical genius that we had such special treatment."
"Genius? Look at the country, or even the entire world. Aren’t there many big hospitals incapable of producing a genius? Currently, which big hospital has set up a Comprehensive Surgery Department, allowing a doctor to perform surgeries from head to toe? Isn’t that a joke? The American Mayo Clinic? Do they have it? No, even Mayo doesn’t have it, are you more capable than Mayo?" Professor Wang mentioned the Mayo Clinic again because having studied in Mayo was his honor.
What even the Mayo Clinic couldn’t achieve, how could Sanbo Hospital do it? Are you more capable than the Mayo Clinic?
Professor Wang’s logic was clear, and all the experts present agreed with his logic.
A professor from Orthopedics wanted to say something about Yang Ping’s performance at the Golden Knife Award, but seeing the attitude of the two group leaders, he discarded the idea, thinking it best not to offend anyone.
Dean Sun, Director Zhao, and Director Zhou knew that Professor Wang was not easy to deal with. Still, since he was the Deputy Head of the investigation team, they could only cooperate. Disputing with him would be considered as talking back.
"Defending him, we understand. Everyone here is in the same profession, so we can understand the sentiment. Provincial hospitals like yours should let doctors study more, go abroad, don’t limit themselves within the country. Moreover, they should study at the world’s top hospitals and learn from international masters as much as possible. Only then can you master the world’s most advanced medical techniques. They have mastered the world’s most advanced techniques, right?" Professor Wang changed his tone to give advice as if he was telling the leaders of Sanbo how to cultivate doctors.
"Professor Wang, you are right. Actually, we have sent many of our young doctors abroad to further their studies. Our doctors can be found in the United States’ Mayo Clinic, Hopkins, the Special Surgery Hospital in New York, and Tokyo University’s affiliated hospital in Japan. Furthermore, we also have joint training programs with these institutions." Dean Sun introduced the current doctor training situation at Sanbo.
"Oh---that’s excellent, it should be ."
Professor Wang dragged the sound out. Oh. Unexpectedly, this hospital’s doctors also conducted further studies at the world’s top hospitals, which instantly weakened his sense of superiority.
"Even though Mayo Clinic doesn’t dare to establish a Comprehensive Surgery Department, or even such a physician role, you dare to?" Professor Wang returned to this topic.
"Professor Wang, it’s indeed accurate that the American Mayo Clinic doesn’t have anything , but just because they haven’t done it, doesn’t mean we can’t do it, right?" Dean Sun’s tone remained gentle throughout.
"They are at the world’s top level, how can we surpass them? Therefore, we must learn from them. If everybody did it your way, wouldn’t there be constant medical accidents? How can you act so naive? One medical accident and you’re all finished. If we do start investigating, for the scoliosis correction surgery, where did Yang Ping get training? How many surgeries did he follow? How many years of rotations? Who were his supervising doctors? How can he perform surgeries without any study experience? Lives are at stake. This isn’t shoe or pot repair, this is surgical operation."
Professor Wang was quite upset in his heart. As deputy head of the investigation team, he felt that these people were not looking up to him in the slightest.
"Even Mayo Clinic has something to learn from us!" The Director of Medical Affairs, Director Zhao, suddenly interjected.
All the experts in the room concurrently turned their heads in surprise to look at Director Zhao, who sat there calmly.
