Chapter 557 Invitation to work abroad(1/2)
Sure enough, as Chen Qi expected, when he told him that there was an accident during the operation and he accidentally caused an esophageal perforation, the faces of his family members turned green.
If it weren't for the fact that this young doctor is the director of the People's Hospital, he would probably be handed the big mouth.
But then when Chen Qi said that the People's Hospital was willing to compensate 10,000 yuan, the faces of the family members instantly turned red again.
Chen Qi did not say that this was a medical dispute caused by foreign doctors. This cannot be said, as it would easily lead to extraneous matters.
10,000 yuan, even in the late 1980s, a household worth 10,000 yuan was still super attractive.
Sure enough, when the family heard that the director personally promised to give him 10,000 yuan in compensation, and that the esophageal perforation could be repaired within 24 hours without major sequelae, and that all surgical hospitalization fees would be waived, they were very happy to understand the agreement.
The book is signed.
He even complimented Chen Qi very, very politely. He felt that the People's Hospital was too particular. It just punched a hole in the esophagus. It gave so much. How about punching a few more holes?
Wait, it’s obviously 100,000 US dollars (400,000 RMB), why is the final compensation only 10,000 RMB?
There is really no way around this. It is not that Chen Qi is greedy for the money. For "Chen Wanwan", although $100,000 is a lot, it is not enough to move him to become greedy.
The main reason is that if the People's Hospital dares to compensate the patient 400,000 yuan for a medical accident today, believe it or not, such medical disputes will suddenly become endless tomorrow.
Not to mention a medical accident, even if there is no medical accident, some smart people will make it an accident. It is really a wealth of money.
What will happen then? People's hospitals will each compensate others 400,000 yuan?
How many 400,000 yuan can such a poor hospital compensate?
Therefore, the 400,000 yuan cannot be fully compensated to the patient. The consequences of doing so would be too serious.
The people are not worried about scarcity but about inequality. If the patient does not receive 400,000 yuan in compensation next time, I am afraid that all the bricks and tiles in the People's Hospital will be demolished by the patients' families.
Of course, we can't make it cheap. Since people are willing to spend 100,000 US dollars, they should regard it as a contribution to the People's Hospital and pay tuition.
After all, the People's Hospital has shouldered the reputation, shouldered the responsibility, and taught these American doctors not to act like elders in fields they are not good at.
The tuition fee is not unfair.
Chen Qi didn't take the money, it was all handed over to the hospital's finances. With this 100,000 US dollars, there are so many things that can be done.
It’s not enough to buy equipment, but the People’s Hospital will have a series of doctors going abroad for further training. The money can be used to provide subsidies to others, or it can be used to purchase various medical journals.
Foreign exchange was really too tight in the 1980s.
If an individual goes to the black market to exchange U.S. dollars, he or she cannot exchange it without 1:10.
But if you go to the bank to exchange currency, I guess it will be good to give you 100,200 US dollars. This is a huge amount of money in China, but it is only the price of a few hamburgers abroad, and it is not very useful at all times.
Professor Bradrick felt relieved when he heard that Chen Qi had settled this "medical accident" and gained the understanding of his family members.
This small accident made Professor Bradrick no longer think carefully. He is already over 50 years old and can no longer carry a knife.
And as a physician, surgery is really not his specialty, so he has recognized the reality.
Chen Qi had no idea that due to a major medical accident, the possible reward of millions of dollars had returned to his hands.
On the second day, endoscopic teaching surgery continued.
It looked like Chen Qi was killing a chicken, and he could easily complete an operation that was extremely difficult in the eyes of foreign doctors. Even because of his familiarity, several endoscopic surgeries were completed in only 30 minutes.<
/p>
This made the foreign doctors who were watching start to feel numb.
At this time, all doctors, whether they are professors or ordinary doctors, firmly believe that the POEM technology invented by Chen Qi is absolutely successful, can be applied clinically, and is worthy of promotion.
It's just that the risk of surgery is too high. If you don't have a high level, don't touch it easily. It's a bit scary to touch a perforation.
These wgo experts saw what they wanted to see in China, and the travel time was up. They were all satisfied and ready to return to China.
The night before leaving China, Chen Qi specially invited these foreign experts to his home at No. 77 Lu Xun Road.
A private family bbq party is being held in the yard, which is almost the highest etiquette for treating friends.
In fact, what these Americans like most are all kinds of private parties, music, wine, screaming, and crazy twisting of limbs.
Rather than everyone sitting around a round table, and then the leader delivers a speech at the top, after one leader has finished speaking, the next leader continues, and then Shaoxing opera singing, red song performances, acrobatics and magic come on stage.
The reason why Chen Qi wants to hold bbq is because there are too many kinds of meat in his space.
What is the basic operation of beef and mutton? Have you ever eaten elephant trunk meat? Have you tasted lion meat? Do you want a piece of rhinoceros meat? Such thick and white python meat, do you want to grill a few skewers?
Sprinkle with cumin, sprinkle with chili powder, sprinkle with a layer of chopped green onion and garlic, the crackling fat will sizzle, and then one bunch after another of Chinese-style barbecue will come out of the oven.
That fragrance is so delicious that it will make these greedy Americans drool.
Beef medium-rare, medium-rare, Argentinian beef, Brazilian barbecue, Texas barbecue, all are scum.
When it comes to food, Greater China is second, but who dares to say first?
As for alcohol, Chen Qi did not prepare beer or red wine that Americans like to drink. He only served one type of wine, Shaoxing rice wine, which is a Yue-Chinese specialty wine.
Of course, there are many varieties of rice wine, such as Yuanhong wine, Jiafan wine, Shanshu wine, Xiangxue wine, etc.
People who like to drink wine are generally familiar with rice wine. In fact, the most confusing and unknown one is Xiangxue wine.
Xiangxue wine is brewed by using 45% aged tank-roasted rice wine instead of water. It is also a double wine. The wine body is white, like white snow. It is a typical representative of sweet rice wine, with a sugar content of
100g/l or more.
It tastes sweet and tastes very good, especially suitable for women who are not good at drinking.
But the trick is that the alcohol content of ordinary rice wine is around 14c, while the alcohol content of Xiangxue wine is basically above 20c.
So even though Xiangxue wine tastes too sweet and you still want another glass after drinking it, in fact, Xiangxue wine has a lot of stamina.
Chen Qi looked at these little foreigners drinking rice wine and twerking to the tape recorder, and he really wanted to laugh when he thought about what would happen to these people later.
"Come, Professor Grace, Professor Bradrick, on my own behalf, I very much welcome these two great professors to visit our country, and I very much hope that they will come to China again at the right time."
Chen Qi picked up the wine glass and drank a whole glass of rice wine.
Old Shaoxing, drunken Jiangnan, Yue and Zhong people start drinking rice wine at two kilograms, and the big brothers from Shandong are not necessarily rivals in terms of drinking capacity.
Professor Grace and Professor Bradrick also finished their glasses of wine with a smile, then frowned and took a skewer of barbecue and ate it, feeling relaxed.
Professor Grace looked at the young man in front of him and felt a love for talents.
"Chen, after our contact over the past few days and seeing your level of endoscopic surgery with my own eyes, I am very surprised and admired. But seeing the hardware and equipment of your Huaguo Hospital makes me feel regretful.
p>
So I have a suggestion. If you are willing to work in the United States, I can be responsible for recommending you to any hospital. With your skills, I believe you will soon become an internationally renowned doctor. What do you think?"
Professor Grace actually meant well.
But from another perspective, he represents the interests of the United States and wants to attract the best talents in the world to the United States and ultimately serve the American people.
Professor Bradrick put down his glass and said with emotion:
"Yes, Chen, your stage should be to face the whole world. Although you have become the director of a large hospital at a young age, the medical level of China is there, and you don't even have the tools to take advantage of it.
It completely affects your performance."
Chen Qi said nonchalantly while grilling meat:
"Thank you two professors, but as you said, the United States may not lack a doctor like me, but my motherland obviously cannot lack me, so I am more willing to build my own motherland. Maybe one day it will surpass you."
America!"
An American doctor next to him had already stepped forward. After hearing Chen Qi’s words, he roared:
"Fuck America, long live China~~~"
Hahaha, everyone burst into laughter.
Grace also smiled and nodded at these subordinates:
"Look at us young people in the United States, as if criticizing our own country is politically correct, and look at you again, each and every one of you is the most sincere patriot. This gap is huge."
Professor Bradrick also laughed:
"Chen, who said the United States doesn't need you? Now there is a Hollywood tycoon in the United States who needs your help. How about when is it convenient for you? Mr. Rupert, the boss of Fox Company, may not be able to survive for long."
p>
"Go to the United States."
Chen Qi is a little embarrassed:
"But Mr. Professor, in a few days it will be our traditional Chinese New Year. Whether it is the hospital where I work or my small family, there are a lot of things to do, so even if I go to the United States, it will definitely be after the New Year."<
/p>
"After the Chinese New Year?"
If you go to the United States after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it will be at least a month later. Whether the other party can wait is not within Chen Qi's consideration.
To be honest, Chen Qi really hasn’t spent the Spring Festival with his family well in all these years.
In previous years, he was either attending various international academic conferences or counting orangutans in Africa.
This year, he finally didn’t have an international conference during the Chinese New Year, and he didn’t have to go to Africa. He couldn’t do it if he left his wife and children and ran to the other side of the ocean for an American man.
Chen Qi definitely likes money, but if he had to choose between money and family, he would definitely choose the latter.
