Chapter 925 Anger from overseas
It hasn’t rained for a long time.
Today's rain has washed away the dust in the air and also brought a lot of negative ions to the air.
Standing on the balcony of the neuropsychiatric center office of Antai Hospital, Liu Maqiao looked at the construction of the internal medicine building not far away. There were four underground floors. The pit had been dug in place. With the foundation, the pit was 20 meters deep.
The current construction capacity is really strong. In 25 days, 230,000 cubic meters of soil were dug out, which would have taken a year in the past.
Liu Muqiao looked at the ground where people were coming and going, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.
There are now close to 3,000 inpatients, which is not much different from the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 Affiliated Hospital of Qingjiang University, and the surgical system has surpassed the Affiliated Hospital.
The Department of Neurology and Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery alone are home to 1,400 patients.
Originally, many departments had the idea to turn the single wards into two-person wards, and the two-person wards into three-person rooms.
Liu Muqiao firmly denied it.
He is more rational.
This was taken into consideration when designing the ward. Internal expansion will be a matter of time. However, now is not the time for internal expansion.
First of all, the ability of the department depends on one or two people. Everyone needs to reach a certain level, and a third-level doctor level needs to be formed.
Secondly, most of the doctors at Antai Hospital are recruited, so the culture needs to be integrated, and the diagnostic and treatment habits need to be unified.
Now, we have top doctors, but they don’t have the thickness.
Now the source of the disease is there, the hospital bed is very tight, and the internal expansion seems to be a matter of course, but Liu Maqiao knows very well that the thickness is not enough, and top doctors still need to be trained.
This is not something he imagined, but is based on evidence.
Liu Muqiao checks a patient in a ward every day. Almost every day, he needs to help others correct their diagnosis or treatment plan.
This is the shortcoming.
It was impossible for Liu Muqiao to check the entire hospital. It would take him a month to complete one ward check, which told him that there were still many misdiagnoses and mistreatments in Antai Hospital.
Therefore, internal expansion must be slowed down for 3 to 5 years.
What makes Liu Miqiao proud is that in these two centers, foreign patients account for about a quarter, especially in the epilepsy and Parkinson's disease departments of the neurology department, foreign patients account for one-third.
As for pancreatic and liver surgery, patients from Nanyang account for one-eighth, that is to say, close to 100 foreign patients.
Then there is the spine (spinal cord) surgery, two departments and 120 beds are fully occupied. The foreign patients here are all extremely serious patients, a total of 21.
Liu Muqiao felt a sense of success.
He knew that these departments were born as international disciplines and would treat a large number of foreign patients.
He smiled.
I didn’t expect that competition would be so easy.
Antai Hospital has two absolute advantages. One is Liu Muchiao's superb skills, and the other is the super cheap medical expenses.
Compared with developed countries, the medical expenses in our country are quite low. For example, for a radical resection of colon cancer, the normal operating cost in a tertiary hospital is 2,250 yuan, and the anesthesia cost is 1,350 yuan. Including other infusions, not counting chemotherapy, the hospitalization cost is ten days.
Days are usually around 1 yuan.
At Hopkins Hospital, a colon cancer surgery costs about US$220,000, or about 1.5 million RMB.
The difference is dozens of times.
This is a simple example.
Some people say that they have medical insurance!
Yes, people have medical insurance, but the cheapest annual medical insurance fee is more than 4,000 US dollars, which is about RMB.
Overall, Antai Hospital has unique competitive advantages.
A slight smile appeared on Liu Muqiao's lips.
He thought of those big international hospitals, hehe, Brother Huo, Brother Mei, here we come, Antai Hospital is here!
At this time, the International Business Department of Hopkins Hospital, which is thousands of miles away, is studying a report. In the past six months, business from Asia has dropped by 4.3%, although it has not yet constituted a significant impact on Hopkins Hospital.
An obvious threat, but it's a signal.
A strong signal.
Because, in the past two decades, the number of patients from big Eastern countries going to Hopkins Hospital for treatment has been growing at an annual rate of more than 10%.
Now, suddenly, instead of growing, it has dropped so much, which is very abnormal.
Analyzing the cases again, pancreatic surgery dropped the fastest, reaching 14.7%, liver surgery dropped by 7.5%, colorectal surgery dropped by 3.4%, and other diseases dropped by 2.3%.
Here, cervical spine surgery is not included.
"Reason! Reason! What I need is to find the reason!" the executive of the external business department shouted angrily.
He is a senior staff member. Twenty years ago, he followed his old leader to the big Eastern country and began to expand the market. As their work deepened, the number of people going to the United States for medical treatment increased year by year. Now, it almost supports the Hopkins Hospital.
half of the sky.
"The reason is very simple. Liu Miqiao's surgical skills for pancreatic surgery, hepatobiliary surgery, large intestine and other diseases have surpassed ours." Intelligence personnel analyzed.
"Impossible!"
How could this executive named Linhu believe that he knew China too well? He knew the most famous hospitals and doctors in China very well.
There are seven or eight well-known pancreatic surgeons, among whom Professor Long is considered the best. Linhu is very familiar with his pancreatic surgery skills at Peking University First Hospital. He went there once last year.
"The Pancreatic Surgery Department of Antai Hospital is the largest pancreatic surgery department in their country, and many of our patients have been lost to their hospital." The intelligence officer said.
"Antai Hospital? Where is Antai Hospital? Show me the ranking of their hospitals." Linhu was a little angry. It wasn't that he didn't believe it, but he didn't want to believe it.
He has heard of Antai Hospital and Liu Miqiao's name.
He also knows that many patients who were refused surgery at Hopkins Hospital finally had surgery there and are now in good condition.
This is what he has learned one after another recently.
Now, when intelligence officers formally reported to him in writing, he lost control of his emotions.
"The ranking of Antai Hospital is too low and it is not among the top 500."
"We are competing with a hospital that is not even among the top 500 in their country. Isn't this too embarrassing? Inform the Pancreatic Surgery Center not to give up operations easily. Operations that cannot be performed normally cannot be lost to Antai Hospital in the future.
." Linhu said loudly.
This move is very cruel. At present, half of the patients from Hopkins Hospital are because Hopkins Hospital refuses to perform surgery, or they think that there is no value in surgery.
"However, in this case, ethically, we violate basic medical ethics."
"Bullshit! What is ethics? What is morality? All I know is that we at Hopkins are number one in the world. If we can't do the surgery, others can't do it either!"
Linhu is a typical white European. His grandfather is British and he considers himself a typical gentleman.
Chapter completed!
