Chapter 1539: Chapter 623: How Many People Can You Save in a Day? Han Formula Decoction
“I…”
Zhou Can had just opened his mouth to politely refuse when Dean Zhu waved his hand to impose restraint on him.
“It’s not too late to decide after I finish speaking. I know you’re solely focused on honing your medical skills, saving lives.”
Dean Zhu has been at the helm of Tuya Hospital for many years, holding a high position, steadfast like a mountain.
Naturally, he possesses extraordinary abilities and charisma.
In everyday interactions with him, it doesn’t seem like much.
Now, in a serious conversation with Dean Zhu, one truly realizes why he can mand respect and wield influence throughout the hospital.
That powerful aura, just a single glance is enough to make one feel overwhelmed.
Zhou Can’s wealth has long surpassed a hundred million, and he has been honing his skills for over a year in positions of department leadership and mid-level hospital management, yet he still feels that oppressive sensation when facing Dean Zhu.
“Even if you work tirelessly in surgeries, how many can you perform in a day? Take the Level 3 surgeries you’re currently performing the most, five per day, that’s quite a lot, right? Then, after work, you go to Cardiothoracic Surgery and perform as a substitute, tackling two large Level 4 surgeries, totaling seven surgeries. Even if your surgical quality is very high, with a success rate of over 95%, you would at most save seven people a day. This doesn’t even include the work before, after, and throughout the perioperative period involving the concerted efforts of other medical staff.”
Dean Zhu has an exceptionally clear grasp of Zhou Can’s activities.
He knows exactly how many Level 3 surgeries Zhou Can performs in a day, and knows he runs to Cardiothoracic Surgery for overtime to perform two Level 4 surgeries.
The term “penetrating insight” can rightfully be applied to any wise leader.
If Zhou Can hadn’t conversed with Dean Zhu today, he would have continued to think that Dean Zhu, high and mighty, would scarcely have time and energy to care for a small figure like him.
Turns out, he was pletely wrong.
His every move is watched right under Dean Zhu’s nose.
Performing seven Level 3 and Level 4 surgeries a day, this capability is not only outstanding at Tuya Hospital but is among the best nationally.
Most chief physicians perform two Level 3 and Level 4 surgeries a day, exhausting themselves.
They pale in parison to Zhou Can, a great disparity exists.
“Historically, during the Three Kingdoms era, Zhuge Liang was undoubtedly a capable figure who personally oversaw everything, yet in the end what happened? He exhausted himself to death and didn’t achieve Shu’s unification. Many people say it was because the later Emperor Liu Chan was fatuous and inpetent, like mud that couldn’t be stuck to a wall. I’ve read both official histories and relatively reliable unofficial accounts; both evaluate Liu Chan as a wise monarch, no less capable than Liu Bei.”
To persuade Zhou Can, Dean Zhu even cited historical figures.
No one else would do this.
The controversy surrounding Liu Chan has always existed.
Later generations largely influenced by Romance of the Three Kingdoms believe Liu Chan was damaged when dropped on his head, a prince who couldn’t stand on his own.
In reality, this wasn’t the case. After Liu Bei’s death, he managed to make Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei, and Wei Yan all willingly ply with his orders and not dare to rebel. Without some skill, he would have long been the fallen victim at their hands.
At the very least, he would have been held hostage by Cao Cao, used like Emperor Xian of Han to mand the feudal lords from behind the scenes.
Furthermore, later after the Sima family took over Wei, unification was achieved.
During the unification process, they pressed Shu militarily.
Shu had numerous natural barriers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, like one man holding against thousands.
If Liu Chan had insisted on resisting to the end, Wei’s unification would have been extremely challenging, at very least requiring a heavy price, costing many warriors’ lives.
Liu Chan rode against public opinion, leading people to surrender to prevent the massacre of Shu’s civilians.
If Wei had attacked Shu and suffered many deaths, venting anger through city massacre would have been the least of consequences.
Liu Chan actively surrendered, bearing eternal infamy, but in truth saved countless Shu citizens and soldiers.
Of course, everything has two sides. Most people curse him as a worthless prince, a synonym for weak incapability, which isn’t without reason.
Dean Zhu wasn’t paring Liu Chan to Zhou Can but instead juxtaposed Zhuge Liang with Zhou Can.
The intent was to tell Zhou Can that even if he expends himself in surgeries daily, treating patients, he can’t save many.
“Let’s talk about our Tuya Hospital’s pharmaceutical department.”
The preliminaries being sufficient, Dean Zhu began heading straight to the main topic.
“You probably know about the pharmaceutical department’s origin, it initially served as an official pharmacy during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the largest in the province. Later it became self-operated, with many pharmaceutical traditions passed down through generations. The research into various Chinese medicines continued even during wartime. When epidemics were rampant and war consumed our land, it played a significant role in saving lives.”
The legacy is extremely important.
It symbolizes historical heritage.
“Chinese medicine has steadily weakened over the years, nearly vanishing. Even now, Chinese medicine remains an unfavorable symbol.”
When encountering untreatable diseases or challenging patients, doctors often suggest trying Chinese medicine.
In the minds of most doctors, treatment with Chinese medicine equals an expression of disbelief.
It’s just that few dare say it openly.
Because no doctor wants to be labeled unpatriotic, pandering to foreign influence, a stigma not weled by anyone.
“Retained from that wartime era up to now, possessing many plete Han-style prescriptions, with deep-level clinical validations and research into Chinese medicine, including how to process herbs, when best to harvest, how to preserve, formulate medicines, and knowledge on which coexistence of herbs might produce severe toxic reactions, there is profound research. To say our Tuya Hospital’s pharmaceutical department ranks among the top in the nation’s Chinese medicine enterprises is accurate.”
