Chapter 991 - 955: Medical Rescue Helicopter
Just past nine in the evening, An Kexin hurried back to Xiangtai Apartment, feeling a chill in the air as she entered.Only one light was on in the living room, casting a dim glow, and Lele didn't come running to greet her.
An Kexin knew that Lin Miao must be curled up in her own room, and Lin Jie was surely in the study.
Sure enough, when she went up to the second floor, she saw that the lights in the master bedroom and the study were on, while the secondary bedroom was dark.
An Kexin went to the secondary bedroom, changed into comfortable, warm pajamas, quickly freshened up, and then went to the kitchen on the first floor to heat a cup of milk. She carried the warm milk into the study.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lin Jie, who was sitting in the chair deep in thought with his eyes closed, opened them and saw An Kexin walking in gracefully.
Knowing Lin Jie's habits, An Kexin softly asked, "Are you pondering tomorrow's surgery?"
Lin Jie took the milk she handed over, took a sip, and gently said, "No, it's Elena's surgery."
"Tomorrow's surgery for that Italian player is just about sorting out some tangled muscles and nerve fibers; it's just time-consuming and labor-intensive work, not too difficult."
An Kexin smiled and said, "That's easy for you, but for other doctors, it's extremely difficult."
"How's Nannan?"
Lin Jie sighed softly and said, "What else could it be, that's her father. She cried a lot when she heard the news, but she's managing."
"I prescribed her some sedatives, she should be able to sleep a little more soundly tonight."
An Kexin nodded gently and asked, "And what about Nannan's father?"
Lin Jie sighed again and said, "Yao Jishun underwent a meticulous physical examination, and it was found that despite having a severely alcoholic liver unsuitable for transplantation, his other organs are relatively healthy."
"After matching through the organ transplant network, a total of twenty-five suitable patients nationwide were selected for organ transplantation."
He exclaimed, "He killed four people in a fit of anger, and now, using his organs to save twenty-five people is a kind of redemption."
"Since the organ harvesting is scheduled to take place at the Affiliated Hospital, the detention center arranged for Yao Jishun, Nannan, and other family members to have their final meeting there as well."
An Kexin nodded slightly and asked with concern, "You won't be participating in Yao Jishun's organ harvesting, will you?"
Lin Jie shook his head and said, "I won't be participating."
"Half an hour ago, Dean Cheng called to inform me that after urgent communication and coordination, six patients will arrive at the Affiliated Hospital to receive organ transplants."
"Hospitals of other patients will send personnel to the Affiliated Hospital to retrieve the transplant organs."
"Nowadays, organ transplant surgery is a mature and standardized procedure, I don't need to be involved."
An Kexin responded with an "oh" and said, "After Anlin Hospital opens, after reviews and assessments, it will surely become one of the hospitals qualified to perform various organ transplant surgeries."
"Speaking of which, in the near future, Anlin Hospital will have a high-speed route to the airport and a subway line to the high-speed rail station, making it convenient for patients and organs to come and go."
Lin Jie thought of something and asked, "No matter how fast the highway and subway are, they can't match the speed of a medical helicopter. Fortunately, Anlin Hospital has already built a helipad."
"Kexin, you haven't mentioned much about the helicopter acquisition progress, how is it going?"
An Kexin paused for a moment, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Ah Jie, the matter of the medical rescue helicopter has been thoroughly discussed by me, Dean Gong, and Vice Director Fang."
"However, helicopters that can accommodate medical stretchers, along with two pilots, two medical personnel, and some emergency equipment, have to be medium-sized helicopters."
"Ah Jie, you may not know this, but such a medium-sized helicopter is not cheap. Its market price is around seventy to eighty million RMB, and for those with better performance, it's about a hundred million."
"You also know that Anlin Hospital's funds are a bit tight now, and we can't afford a helicopter at the moment."
Lin Jie frowned and said, "Kexin, Anlin Hospital is positioned as a luxurious top-tier private hospital and will receive many international patients. A medical rescue helicopter is a standard configuration for a top-tier hospital."
"Ah Jie, don't worry!"
An Kexin assured, "Once Anlin Hospital's financial situation stabilizes a bit, we will definitely buy the medical rescue helicopter, we definitely will."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jie felt quite frustrated.
He knew that Kexin was just placating him.
In reality, Anlin Hospital, at least for the first two or three years, or even longer, is unlikely to see profits.
Additionally, the value of a medium-sized helicopter is indeed significant, not to mention the annual maintenance costs.
This is indeed a heavy burden for Anlin Hospital at present.
However, if Anlin Hospital is equipped with a medical rescue helicopter, it can significantly enhance its prestige and image, thereby justifiably charging international patients higher medical fees.
More importantly, many patient treatments truly require a race against time.
Anlin Hospital is located on the outskirts, and having a medical rescue helicopter can make handling some urgent and critical patient situations more manageable.
At this moment, Shen Lanruo's voice rang in Lin Jie's mind again, "Ajie, there's a way to temporarily solve the hospital's funding issue, which is project outsourcing..."
After listening to Shen Lanruo's explanation, Lin Jie said to An Kexin, "Kexin, I have a solution here; think it over and see if it's feasible!"
"Even in the United States, not every large hospital is equipped with medical rescue helicopters."
"Generally, in every city, there are professional air rescue companies."
"These air rescue companies are only responsible for the midway transport of patients."
"Their revenues mainly come from three sources: municipal subsidies, rescue fees paid by patients, and a portion paid by hospitals."
"Kexin, can we separate out the medical rescue helicopter project and allow other companies or individuals to contract it?"
"The hospital can provide them with subsidies or share profits based on the number of helicopter deployments and patient treatment fees?"
An Kexin pondered and said, "What you're suggesting is indeed a solution."
"This method is also a common operational approach in hospitals."
"I know some small hospitals can't afford large equipment like MRI machines, so they cooperate with intermediary companies or medical equipment companies. The intermediary company purchases such large equipment."
"It's equivalent to the hospital renting it; each use incurs a certain fee."
"This medical rescue helicopter can indeed be handled in this way!"
An Kexin smiled and said, "Tomorrow, I'll discuss this with Dean Gong and the others to establish an implementation plan."
"At the same time, I'll consult with relevant government departments. Perhaps there are corresponding preferential policies and subsidies for setting up medical rescue helicopters."
Lin Jie chuckled lightly, saying, "Logically, as an international metropolis, Binhai suffers from severe traffic congestion, making this medical helicopter project very necessary."
"There's a high likelihood that there will be substantial government incentives and subsidies for this."
Having a feasible solution, Lin Jie's mood lifted significantly.
"Kexin, there's another matter that needs your attention, which is Nannan's study abroad."
"She'll recover in about one or two months, so it's time to start preparing for her going abroad."
"The preferred destination is the United States, followed by Australia. Nannan's leg wouldn't do well in the UK's weather, so forget it."
An Kexin was also aware of Yao Henan's future planning.
She was very supportive of Yao Henan going abroad.
Yao Jishun's case could be said to have attracted nationwide attention.
Even if Yao Henan went to another city to study, this matter might inevitably be brought up again by others.
It has to be said, many people in the country don't do well in terms of discretion.
There are even more so-called well-meaning people who love to keep reopening others' wounds under the guise of concern.
Going abroad would provide Yao Henan with a peaceful and undisturbed external environment.
"Studying abroad is quite easy to arrange now; I'll have our business partners in the United States look into it diligently."
An Kexin then asked with concern, "Is Sister Xiaoxiao going to go abroad as well to take care of Nannan?"
Lin Jie nodded, saying, "Sister Xiaoxiao has planned it this way. She'll stay abroad with Nannan for at least a year until Nannan fully adapts to studying and living there before returning."
An Kexin sighed, saying, "Sister Xiaoxiao truly sees Nannan as her daughter."
Regarding Zhang Xiaoxiao's current choice, Lin Jie could only let out a long sigh.
When the topic of going abroad was brought up, Lin Jie realized something and curiously asked, "Hey, Kexin, given your family's financial condition, why didn't you or Kemeng choose to study abroad?"
An Kexin softly explained, "My parents thought that studying abroad during middle and high school, with weak self-control and adaptability, could easily lead us astray."
"Their idea was for us to go abroad for graduate studies after college."
"But..."
An Kexin said with some sadness, "My mom passed away when I was in college. After graduating from college, I joined the company to help my dad. Now that Kemeng is following you to study medicine, there's no need to go abroad anymore."
The atmosphere in the study became somewhat oppressive for a moment. Just as Lin Jie was pondering how to console her, An Kexin suddenly smiled and said, "Ajie, I've got some good news for you."
"Representatives from three German enterprises came to the Anlin Charity Fund today. After an inspection, they each donated two million, three million, and six million in charity funds."
"Ajie, these donations are a reward for the good work you did in Germany..."
