When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Today’s gathering was on the department’s tab, and almost everyone from surgery, except for An Yanjun who was on duty, was present.

Emergency department gatherings were rare, so this time everyone was there for the fun of it.

Li Baoshan had brought several bottles of fine liquor from home. He didn’t drink, but that didn’t mean he’d prevent others from drinking.

One characteristic of the emergency department was the high proportion of young people among the old, middle-aged, and young, mainly because the department hired many temporary workers.

Where there are many young people, it’s easy for things to become lively, and the meal was indeed boisterous.

In the middle of the meal, a middle-aged man accompanied by a young man and woman entered, all dressed in business attire.

The man, beaming with enthusiasm, came in smiling and greeted Li Baoshan, “Director Li, what a coincidence, having a department dinner today?”

Li Baoshan’s expression flickered and he stood up, nodding slightly, “Uh, hello, President Zhao.”

The man was not old, just over forty, but he looked very charismatic. In Wang Qian’s words, he looked very wealthy, with his designer outfit speaking volumes of his affluence.

Some people’s charisma is genuine, while most is built upon the foundation of wealth.

After exchanging pleasantries with Chen Bingsheng and others, the man said, “Just passing by to say hello. Enjoy your meal, I won’t disturb you further.”

After nodding to Li Baoshan, he smiled and left.

Li Baoshan hurried after him, with the head nurse Tian Xianglan also running out.

Chen Cang had seen the man before, a frequent visitor to the department. If Yuan Fan had been there, he would definitely have recognized the fetching young woman.

President Zhao was the general manager of a pharmaceutical company in Dongyang Province. Despite his casual entrance and greeting as if meeting an old friend, his purpose was quite evident—to let Li Baoshan know who had paid the bill.

These astute individuals never show off in public. Making a brief appearance and then leaving, after which Li Baoshan would find out that the bill was settled!

You might not care once or twice, but what about after many more times?

In fact, department dinners usually involved pharmaceutical representatives chipping in with money.

Li Baoshan was reluctant to provoke these people, mainly because of the emergency department’s medication issues.

Emergency medications differ greatly from regular medications, as many of them are life-saving.

For this reason, Li Baoshan was strict about this aspect, only using established medications that have stood the test of time in the market.

For example, the emergency department often treats patients with pain, and Ibuprofen is a commonly used medication with high sales.

Most people visiting a pharmacy don’t pay attention to the brand or the manufacturer; as long as it’s Ibuprofen, it’s fine.

Because people might think that all manufacturers’ drugs are the same, after all, they all contain Ibuprofen.

However, there are not a few instances each year where emergency medication leads to mishaps.

And even when something goes wrong, you can’t find the cause, which can be deadly.

A few years ago, an emergency department at Dongyang Provincial People’s Hospital faced an incident during a resuscitation because of their choice of norepinephrine.

Although everyone knows what norepinephrine is, many manufacturers produce it, with the most common ones being Lian Shu, Tianjin Jinyao Amino Acid, Shanghai Hefeng, and many others.

Yet, such a common medication brought a fatal blow to the patient!

Li Baoshan naturally knew why Zhao Kangbo had come.

So he hurriedly got up and chased after him.

Eating someone’s food makes one soft, taking someone’s gift makes one short-handed; this is an unchanging truth through the ages.

Following Zhao Kangbo out, Li Baoshan quickly signaled to the head nurse, Tian Xianglan.

Tian Xianglan instantly understood and hurriedly got up to go pay the bill.

Zhao Kangbo also smiled, “Director Li, now you’re being too formal. The restaurant has an agreement with us; we get discounts on our meals. Isn’t this just about saving some funds for our department?”

Li Baoshan smiled, “Zhao is rich and generous; such small expenses are nothing for you. But in our department, every penny must be accounted for. Should there be any issues, Li Baoshan cannot bear the responsibility.”

Zhao Kangbo laughed and shook his head, “Director Li, you joke.”

While talking, Zhao Kangbo pulled Li Baoshan to the side, “Director Li, to be frank, our medicine has been in the hospital for five or six years, and it has always had good effects. Moreover, it’s cheaper than those big companies, which is a good thing for patients, right?”

“Moreover, the young doctors in the emergency department also need to support their families. You know that the respiratory and cardiology departments are using it, and it’s working very well. Maybe Director Li could take this into consideration?”

Li Baoshan nodded, “Hmm, I will think about it when I get back.”

…

…

In the evening, as soon as Chen Cang got back, Zhang Zhixin called.

“Chen, I’m on duty in the department tomorrow, so I won’t go to the plastic surgery hospital. You can go on your own if you want to shadow someone or do it yourself, but… be careful, don’t let anything go wrong.”

Zhang Zhixin gave Chen Cang a heads-up.

Chen Cang nodded and smiled, “Okay, I got it, Boss Zhang.”

As soon as Zhang Zhixin hung up, Fu Yufang called.

“Chen, it’s me, your sister Fu!”

Chen Cang suddenly realized that when he heard this name, he wasn’t scared!

“Mm, Sister Fu, hello!”

Fu Yufang smiled faintly, “Chen, I was hoping you could do me a favor.”

“It’s my younger sister, she’s only 24 this year, but her chest hasn’t developed. She’s seen doctors at major hospitals, and they all say it’s micromastia, congenital, and it doesn’t affect normal life. However, she’s very dissatisfied with her figure and thinks about plastic surgery all the time. She’s visited various plastic surgery hospitals big and small and even went to South Korea last year. They all said her body type wasn’t easy to design for, and mainly, she’s a dance student. Since you know many people, do you know any skilled breast plastic surgeons who could help design something?”

Chen Cang, “Sister Fu, bring her over tomorrow and let me have a look first. Hearing you describe it like this, I can’t judge.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Yufang quickly nodded, “Alright, alright, then it’s settled. I’ll bring my sister over tomorrow and have you take a look too, to see how it could be designed.”

Chen Cang smiled without refusing.

By now, he was no longer the same as he had been before.

He had seen all sorts of situations.

…

After hanging up the phone, Fu Yufang said with a smile, “Little sister, I’ll take you to see him tomorrow. That Chen is quite skilled, maybe he really can sort you out.”

The girl smiled, “Sister, it’s okay, I’ve been getting by all these years. If it’s small, so be it. I’m used to it anyway!”
