Chapter 135 - Gynecology and obstetrics (1/2)

Zhang Fan stopped thinking about the pediatrics department incident on the very next day. Even the government couldn't do anything about shameless people like that, so what could an ordinary doctor like himself do! He decided to treat it as if he had been bitten by a wild dog, and rest for the time being!

Zhang Fan learned a good lesson. It was the first time he had ever met with such a patient's family in his two years of work so far.

Zhang Fan hadn't wanted to talk about what happened, but he was forced to as he couldn't explain away the sudden week of vacation he received. As he ate at Shao Hua's home, both of Shao Hua's parents complained about such wicked parents, while Shao Hua held Zhang Fan's hand and looked at him in worry, afraid that he was still feeling down. His sister Jingshu was also really angry about what happened to him.

Zhang Fan didn't need to go and check on the renovations to his apartment home. Shao Hua's father was quite bored and actually enjoyed chatting with the home renovators. That was why he was actually quite happy to go there every day to watch over the renovation.

Jingshu's official letter of acceptance to Shanghai University arrived at Lan City. She would be attending Shanghai University's branch in Minhang District. For her first year, she would only be taking general studies courses. She would only select a major starting from her second year of college.

It was now time to think about helping Jingshu reach Shanghai. She needed to be there by September for the start of school. Although there was still slightly more than a month, preparations would need to be made beforehand. Zhang Fan wouldn't have the time to help. He had discovered just how lacking he was still in overall medical knowledge due to his short stay in the pediatrics department.

”You should just focus on your work. Jingshu asked me, my mom, and your mom to help bring her to Shanghai together. I'll also take both your mom and my mom to tour Shanghai,” Shao Hua told Zhang Fan as they discussed this matter.

”That's fine, but you'll have to go to Lan City first, then.”

”That's no problem at all. No need for you to worry. I'll definitely bring Jingshu to her college before school starts, and safely bring both our mothers back.”

”Haha! You're the best!”

Li Xiao found an excellent location for Ma Wentao to establish his planned hospital at: a three-story building next door to Chasu City Women and Children's Hospital. This empty building had previously been a hotel. However, there had been some problems with the hotel's investors, so the property was now available for rent. This was a wonderful location because of its proximity to the women's and children's hospital!

When Li Xiao told this to Ma Wentao, he immediately said, ”Wonderful, this location is so amazing, Aunt Li! It really is so great! Just directly rent it for me. I'll come back to Chasu City in a few days with the hospital design blueprints!”

Why did Ma Wentao want to start a hospital in a relatively smaller city first? He was no idiot. It wasn't like his own money had grown on trees. Although opening up a hospital was for the sake of practice, he still didn't want to lose money. Of course he would be happy to earn more money. And since he was properly working in business, his father wouldn't even be able to find an excuse to object. Properly and legally earning money was something that anyone could be proud of.

His aunt Li Xiao helped him deal with all the necessary paperwork for starting a hospital, as well as the hospital renovation. Ma Wentao had already planned things out. He would start by purchasing only the most common medical equipment for checkups. As for more specific medical equipment such as blood test equipment, electrocardiograms, microscopes for examining urine and stool samples and so on, and all other needed laboratory test results, he would simply collaborate with a public hospital.

Since Ma Wentao had money, none of this would be a problem for him! He had already planned out how to develop his hospital after hiring the necessary number of expert doctors. As long as his hospital was profitable, and he managed to raise some expert doctors loyal to him, everything would go well.

Ma Wentao had truly gotten lucky with this location. Chasu City Women and Children's Hospital had medical equipment equal in quality to Chasu City Hospital's. This was because the Chinese government had been majorly supporting the development of women and children's medical facilities in the past few years, which was how Chasu City Women and Children's Hospital had such good medical equipment.

Zhang Fan felt much better after one week of vacation time and rest. The patient's family also left the hospital alone after seeing that Superintendent Ouyang refused to compromise with them or give them anything. They couldn't handle wasting their time anymore at the hospital with no benefits obtained!

Chasu City Hospital was quite complete in all of its department types. It was just that not all departments would be of the same size. The four major departments were internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, and pediatrics. All other departments would be subcategories under these four major departments.

The previous gynecology department director of Chasu City Hospital had used her connections to become the superintendent of Chasu City Women and Children's Hospital. The current Chasu City Hospital gynecology director was Cheng Hong, an expert doctor that Superintendent Ouyang had personally invited from the border province's provincial capital hospital. Cheng Hong had no hope of becoming department director in the provincial hospital, as she only had a master's degree, and there were plenty of doctorate degree students at the provincial hospital who were also expert doctors. Cheng Hong had some conversations with Superintendent Ouyang and agreed to come over to Chasu City to become a department director here.
