Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 509 - 404: A Hardworking Girl’s Luck Will Never Be Too Bad

Chapter 509: Chapter 404: A Hardworking Girl’s Luck Will Never Be Too Bad

Zhao Heng slightly shook his head and said.

"Is it that legendary top-tier medical department at Huaxia Life Insurance?"

Liu Meng said.

It seems she knows some information that others don’t. It’s evident that her information channels are very smooth.

"You know this department?"

Zhao Heng was a bit surprised by Liu Meng’s comment. Logically, only the top doctors are invited to such a department; generally, doctors below the associate director level would not have access.

"I heard about it occasionally, could it be that the director is in this department too?"

Liu Meng asked incredulously.

Because as far as she knows, the conditions for hiring doctors as medical consultants in this department are very stringent. Not all director-level doctors from top hospitals would meet these conditions.

"Kind of."

Zhao Heng nodded casually. Since Liu Meng knew about this department, there was nothing wrong with discussing it with her. Besides, when he signed the contract, he specifically asked Jin Dong, who said that there was no special need for confidentiality; it was just a medical department, without any special secrecy requirements.

But at the same time, there was no need for publicity either. Currently, Huaxia Life Insurance was screening clients, and generally, clients who approached them actively were not entertained by the department due to inadequate qualifications.

This is something only a behemoth like Huaxia Life Insurance can afford to do.

"I heard the starting consultation fee for a medical consultant in this department is a million a year. Director, you’re a bigshot now."

Liu Meng joked half-seriously. Given Zhao Heng’s caliber, it wasn’t surprising he caught the department’s attention. Liu Meng just thought the timing seemed a bit early.

Soon, Zhao Heng and Liu Meng returned to the hospital. Zhao Heng checked the time; it was already five in the afternoon. It was nearing the end of the workday. Zhao Heng thought it was a good time to visit the obstetrics department to check on the postpartum woman he had previously operated on and understand the current condition of the fetus.

Upon arriving at the obstetrics department, Zhou Hong and Zhao Heng went to the wards together, followed by several attending physicians, trainees, and resident doctors.

"Director Zhou, your entourage is much larger than mine during rounds."

Walking along, Zhao Heng joked with Zhou Hong.

Even during routine morning rounds, Zhao Heng was followed by at most seven or eight people, unlike Zhou Hong, whose rounds were accompanied by so many.

"Soon, the number of people following you will also increase."

Zhou Hong said with a smile.

As she knew, many people were eager to arrange various trainees, resident doctors, and even interns in Zhao Heng’s center. Especially recently, such applications had suddenly increased.

It’s understandable. Who wouldn’t want to follow a promising associate chief physician?

Even in society, who doesn’t want to work under a great leader?

It’s just that in hospitals, because of the teacher-student mode, this tendency is greatly magnified.

Ruan Liuzheng was also following behind Zhou Hong at this moment. Her time in the obstetrics department had been very fulfilling. The work in obstetrics was indeed challenging, but Ruan Liuzheng had adapted well, and her current performance was commendable. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

At this moment, a female resident doctor who had gotten along well with Ruan Liuzheng spoke to her in a low voice: "Dr. Ruan, is that the teaching mentor you were with in the anesthesia center?"

"Yes."

Ruan Liuzheng nodded. It was normal for others to ask. Previously, while she was in the anesthesia center with Zhao Heng, other trainees and resident doctors might not have said it out loud but were not convinced at heart.

Now that she was in obstetrics, everything was according to the standards there, and Zhou Hong treated her just like an ordinary visiting doctor.

Still, some people knew about her time with Zhao Heng in the anesthesia center, leading to some curiosity.

"So young, such a young director. Dr. Ruan, you could have stayed with such a mentor, why choose to come to obstetrics where it’s a real battlefield now!"

The female resident doctor remarked with emotion. The field of medicine is already competitive, with many females studying it. Especially in a department like obstetrics which is highly suited for women, competition is fierce, beyond even the term ’intense.’

A department like the anesthesia center, being newly established, offers great opportunities in title promotions and other aspects as many positions are still unfilled.

However, in obstetrics, advancing even to attending physician, let alone associate director, and securing a regular position requires overcoming many challenges.

The ones who reach Eastern Hospital are among the best in the field of medicine, and among these best, the fiercest one has to emerge to finally stay in obstetrics; the level of competition is unimaginable.

"I think women are more suited for obstetrics."

Ruan Liuzheng smiled slightly and said. Was she supposed to tell everyone her dream was to become the next Lin Qiaozhi and that’s why she came to obstetrics?

That would be foolish. Dreams are meant to be kept in one’s heart, to work and strive for, not to be shared casually.

Soon, Zhao Heng and Zhou Hong completed their rounds and returned to Zhou Hong’s office.

"I don’t have tea or coffee here, just mineral water."

Zhou Hong took out a bottle of mineral water from her office’s mini-fridge and handed it to Zhao Heng.

She doesn’t drink coffee or tea because both beverages contain substances that excite the nerves, and Zhou Hong, being naturally full of energy, doesn’t need these drinks; otherwise, she wouldn’t need any sleep.

"Mineral water is healthier."

Zhao Heng replied with a smile, accepting the small bottle of Evian mineral water from Zhou Hong.

People have their own habits; for example, among the few director-level doctors Zhao Heng knew, Gao Jun liked tea, Liu Ziang liked coffee, while Zhou Hong only drank mineral water.

"Currently, both the mother and the fetus are doing very well. If surgeries like these could be promoted in the future, more people could become parents."

Zhou Hong said with some emotion.

Every year, there are few cases where pregnancy needs to be terminated due to detecting fetal congenital anomalies during pregnancy, which is unavoidable.

A child born unhealthy is a burden that young parents facing significant parenting pressures cannot bear.

"Promoting it is very challenging."

Zhao Heng pondered and said.

Fetal surgery, aside from the necessary instruments and equipment, requires the operating surgeon to have meticulous skills and proficiency in micro-operations, which are not techniques easily practiced.

Thus, in the coming years, such surgeries are unlikely to be widely promoted.

"Director Zhao, the Dr. Ruan you previously recommended is quite capable."

Zhou Hong suddenly said to Zhao Heng.

Since Ruan Liuzheng joined the obstetrics department, Zhou Hong had basically come to recognize her. With a solid foundation, serious attitude, and excellent communication skills, she is well-suited to the somewhat unique environment of obstetrics.

"If Director Zhou thinks she’s capable, that’s what matters."

Zhao Heng replied casually.

He wasn’t particularly concerned about Ruan Liuzheng joining obstetrics, as he hadn’t mentored her for very long.

"In terms of business, Director Zhao is second to none. You also have a good eye."

Zhou Hong said earnestly. This wasn’t flattery; Zhao Heng’s professional abilities are well-recognized throughout Eastern Hospital.

But now Zhou Hong felt that Zhao Heng also had a very good eye. Although her interaction with Ruan Liuzheng was brief, Zhou Hong had basically recognized her. As long as Ruan Liuzheng continues to excel, grooming her as a successor wouldn’t be impossible for Zhou Hong.

"It was just by chance."

Zhao Heng said humbly.

"Thank you for sending me such a good talent."

Zhou Hong said with a smile.
