Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1154 - 1113: Lining Up for Hospital Beds

After lunch, Lin Jie, Cai Jinqiang, Zhou Hongzhi, Fu Xiuyuan, and Bi Baodong moved to sit by the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the scenery in the garden below, drinking tea, and chatting casually.Cai Jinqiang took a sip of tea and asked seemingly offhandedly, "Expert Lin, I've heard that quite a few contracted doctors at Anlin Hospital have breached their contracts and not turned up to report?"

Lin Jie did not hide anything and said candidly, "Indeed, there are quite a few! If we only count doctors with work experience, those who breached their contracts and did not report account for about one-third."

The group was taken aback.

Zhou Hongzhi bluntly asked, "These are all experienced backbone doctors, yet so many of them breached their contracts at once."

"Expert Lin, does Anlin Hospital have an emergency response plan?"

"We do have an emergency plan to second personnel from the Affiliated Hospital, but this time, we have foreign aid."

Lin Jie explained with some relief, "I can only say that my research results came out just in time, and many foreign medical institutions are eager to establish close collaboration with us."

"Anlin Hospital has already reached agreements with twelve international medical institutions, and they will send seventy-four doctors to Anlin Hospital for a one-year exchange and training."

"Currently, there are a dozen more medical institutions still in negotiations."

Upon hearing this news, the group collectively exhaled in relief.

Lin Jie is the cornerstone of their collaboration, and Anlin Hospital can be considered the foundation for other cooperation projects.

If Anlin Hospital's initial efforts failed, although the overall impact wouldn't be significant, it would certainly cause some setbacks to subsequent work.

At this point, Fu Xiuyuan asked, "Is there some inside story behind so many contract breaches this time?"

Lin Jie acknowledged with a sound and explained, "There is something behind it. An overseas agency contacted all our contracted doctors one by one, tempting them with some convenient conditions to go to the United States to study and work."

Flicking a glance at Cai Jinqiang, Fu Xiuyuan meaningfully said, "There aren't many suspects who would go to such lengths."

Cai Jinqiang snorted lightly and said, "Although my daughter is his daughter-in-law, in terms of stance, I am absolutely standing on Expert Lin's side."

"In this regard, Heaven can be my witness."

Lin Jie laughed and said, "Alright, we are all partners, so naturally, we have to trust each other."

"The headquarters of that agency is in the United States, and our investigation hasn't made much progress. In matters without evidence, it's not good to make speculations, so we'll just have to set it aside for now."

"Overall, it's not entirely a bad thing. It's better that these doctors with weak resolve have left!"

Zhou Hongzhi agreed, "Expert Lin is right! If these guys were truly committed to medicine and aspired to become great doctors, they definitely wouldn't leave."

"Anlin Hospital has gained a batch of doctors from around the world, and the diverse integration and exchange will undoubtedly motivate our local doctors to strive harder."

Bi Baodong exaggeratedly said, "Wow, with over a hundred doctors from all over the world, hasn't Anlin Hospital suddenly upgraded from a local hospital to an internationally renowned hospital?"

"This is something even the Capital City Concord Hospital couldn't achieve."

Lin Jie modestly said, "Compared to Concord Hospital, we still have a long way to go; let's talk about it after ten years of development."

Cai Jinqiang said with a hint of lament, "Expert Lin, you have single-handedly elevated Anlin Hospital to a fundamentally higher level."

"These international doctors who have come to learn from you will certainly push themselves to the limit. Unlike Phoenix Mountain Hospital, which spent exorbitant costs to bring in a bunch of so-called famous doctors who are only interested in making money."

Lin Jie said seriously, "Chairman Cai, although I don't know exactly how much Phoenix Mountain Hospital spent, looking at the resumes of this batch of core doctors they hired from abroad, they all have genuine skills."

"Regarding this batch of doctors from Phoenix Mountain Hospital, I am quite envious."

"To be fair, in terms of medical resources, Phoenix Mountain Hospital is a notch above us."

Fu Xiuyuan flattered, "However, Expert Lin, you are two notches ahead of them. Overall, Anlin Hospital is still stronger than Phoenix Mountain Hospital."

Lin Jie waved his hand and said, "It's hard to say, as I am just one person, and what measures a hospital is its overall strength."

Cai Jinqiang nodded and said, "That's true; the overall strength of Phoenix Mountain Hospital is indeed very strong."

"However..."

He took a sip of tea and continued, "If Phoenix Mountain Hospital doesn't achieve significant development in the next couple of years and establish its position, it will be very difficult to develop later."

Fu Xiuyuan asked, "Why do you say that?"

Cai Jinqiang explained, "The medical landscape in the United States is somewhat different from ours."

"Apart from wanting to enter those top-ranked hospitals in the United States, many outstanding doctors in the United States, after working in a hospital for a few years and paying off their college loans, usually choose to leave the hospital and open their own private practice as a boss."

"To my knowledge, most of the foreign doctors recruited by Phoenix Mountain Hospital are thinking of working here for two or three years, making some money, and then returning to the United States to open their own practice."

He further analyzed, "In other words, in two or three years, most of the foreign doctors at Phoenix Mountain Hospital will leave."

"At that time, if Phoenix Mountain Hospital hasn't developed, Luo Wantong probably won't spend high salaries to recruit high-level foreign doctors to replace these people."

"Therefore, I believe that the key for Phoenix Mountain Hospital's rise lies in these one or two years."

Zhou Hongzhi took a sip of tea and slowly said, "Chairman Cai, I can assert that Phoenix Mountain Hospital will go no further."

He put down his teacup, and facing the inquisitive looks from a few people, he chuckled, "We all know about Luo Wantong's high-profile and substantial investment in Phoenix Mountain Hospital."

"Such a large investment surely comes with great expectations."

"Allow me to boldly guess, surpassing Bin University Affiliated Hospital to become the undisputed top-ranked general hospital in Binhai?"

"However, Luo Wantong is out of luck, born at the wrong time. Expert Lin emerged out of nowhere, firmly suppressing Phoenix Mountain Hospital's reputation with Anlin Hospital's."

"Now, Expert Lin's fame has skyrocketed, and Anlin Hospital will enter a fast-track of development."

"As for Phoenix Mountain Hospital..."

Zhou Hongzhi shook his head and sighed, "According to Chairman Cai, those foreign doctors come to China mainly to make money. Their dedication to their work will be compromised."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jie felt compelled to speak up, "The United States has a very strict medical education system. Those people who manage to obtain a medical license in the United States and make a name for themselves should all have a decent level of professional competency."

Zhou Hongzhi explained, "I don't deny their professional competency, but there is a significant difference between performing well and giving it one's all."

"We all know, Expert Lin, that you can stay up all night to perfect a surgical plan."

"I doubt these American doctors who come to China can achieve such dedication."

Lin Jie couldn't refute these words.

Then Zhou Hongzhi continued, "I can say, over time, the foreign doctors hired by Phoenix Mountain Hospital will gradually decrease their level of dedication."

"In contrast, at Anlin Hospital, under Expert Lin's guidance and teaching, the doctors' professional standards will definitely improve."

"With this decline and rise, the gap between the two hospitals will become increasingly evident."

Zhou Hongzhi looked at Lin Jie, feeling deeply moved, "I can only say, Luo Wantong is truly unlucky."

"He invested heavily in building Phoenix Mountain Hospital but encountered Expert Lin, who seems to have hacked life. One after another, continuous medical research achievements emerge, defeating the power of money with medical skills and research."

Cai Jinqiang, Fu Xiuyuan, and Bi Baodong all nodded thoughtfully.

At that moment, Lin Jie received a video call from Gong Xuepeng.

As soon as the video call connected, his voice, tinged with excitement, rang out, "Expert Lin, let me show you a scene."

There was some movement on the phone screen, which soon stabilized, and Lin Jie saw at least dozens of foreigners with white or black skin lining up in a long queue along the roadside.

These foreigners were not idle; most of them were busy setting up camping tents.

Lin Jie also saw a man in beach shorts, wearing sunglasses, lying on a recliner soaking up the sun.

Nearby these foreigners, there were some Anlin Hospital security guards, nurses, and doctors gathered together, curiously watching them.

"What is going on here?" Lin Jie couldn't help but ask.

"More than half an hour ago, several tour buses arrived at the hospital gate, dropped off these foreigners, and then left."

Gong Xuepeng's face appeared on the mobile screen, introducing, "The gatekeepers told me these people directly lined up at the hospital gate, set up camp, and began to pitch tents."

"After receiving the report, I came to inquire. Expert Lin, can you guess what's going on?"

"What's the situation?"

Gong Xuepeng chuckled, "They are here to queue and wait for us to open. Specifically, they were hired to queue for beds on behalf of American patients."

"They said they know there are many people in China and feared that once we open, there would be no beds available, so they came a few days earlier to queue and secure an inpatient spot."

"Expert Lin, there are as many as one hundred ninety-one of them, all from the United States."

Lin Jie was quite surprised.

The opening is on the eighteenth, and today is only the thirteenth, queueing five days early? And they specially flew all the way from the United States to queue?

"Dean Gong, inquire from a few more people, and make sure to get a clear understanding of the situation!"

After a few reminders, Lin Jie hung up the call, only to see Cai Jinqiang, Zhou Hongzhi, and Bi Baodong all staring at him.

"Even today there are already people queueing up, and from the United States no less. I underestimated the influence of Expert Lin."

After expressing his surprise, Cai Jinqiang somewhat embarrassedly said, "Expert Lin, seeing this situation, I can only thicken my skin and grab a few beds in advance."

"Several cancer patients found me through various connections knowing I have cooperative relations with you."

He further explained, "Expert Lin, naturally it would be best if you personally handle it, but if not possible, I hope you can arrange for them to stay at Anlin Hospital and receive that advanced inducer treatment."

"Expert Lin, some have come to me as well!" Bi Baodong quickly added.

Fu Xiuyuan and Zhou Hongzhi also showed embarrassed expressions, collectively looking at Lin Jie.
