Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s

Chapter 2258: Chapter 2258: One of the Three Powerhouses

Luo Jingming probably didn’t expect her to speak up, and she really did, saying everything as if she’s single-mindedly focused.

This little junior sister, her mind is filled entirely with medicine and patients. Luo Jingming conceded and explained to her, "It’s unlikely to work."

Xie Wanying was a bit shocked.

The little junior sister hadn’t officially been to their Guoxie Pediatrics Department, so she wasn’t aware of the actual situation there. If the level at Guoxie Pediatrics was up to par, President Wu wouldn’t be talking about spending a lot of money to hire Nie Jiamin from outside.

Guoxie Pediatrics conducts very few surgeries, limited to only the most common illnesses. When it comes to neonatal surgeries, especially for low-age and low-weight patients, they don’t dare to touch them at all. Even the renowned Guoxie Thoracic Surgery Department, which is said to be able to perform congenital heart disease surgeries on children, is restricted to older children. For heart surgeries on very young children, those low-age and low-weight newborns still wouldn’t make it; they would have to be sent to Guo Zhi Hospital for safety. The same goes for Guoxie Neurosurgery, which might be able to perform surgeries on children, but not on newborns. Perhaps Cao Yong would dare to try, but other doctors wouldn’t even consider it.

Doctor Peng’s words were indeed correct; sending them to Shou’er is the most reliable. They can indeed perform all kinds of pediatric surgeries.

Capital Children’s Hospital and Guoxie are no longer subsidiary hospitals under the same parent entity; it is an affiliated hospital of Guodu Medical University.

The Guodu Medical University department, Beidu Medical College department, and Guoxie department are strong competitors, ranked among the top three in the Capital’s medical circle. Zhai Yunsheng’s Fangze Hospital is renowned for its neurosurgery and is also an affiliated hospital of Guodu Medical University.

Don’t assume that because Guoxie ranks first in the comprehensive tertiary A hospital ratings, it seems like the strongest in the universe domestically—it isn’t.

There’s competition everywhere in the medical circle, among doctors, medical colleges, and hospitals.

"The patient you’re talking about is a newborn, right? How many days old?" Luo Jingming asked.

"The first day, not even twenty-four hours."

"If Teacher Nie were here, maybe he could do it. But he’s currently abroad on a year-long vacation for an entire month," Luo Jingming said.

As an externally hired professor, Nie Jiamin enjoys a full range of benefits, which are incomparable to an average domestic doctor.

"Even so," Luo Jingming mentioned another issue with Guoxie’s pediatrics, "our hospital’s surgical room facilities can’t keep up."

Guoxie does not have a pediatric-specific surgical bed; children have surgeries on adult surgical beds. Guoxie’s anesthesiologists lack experience with neonatal surgeries and need to be sent to other hospitals for training and further studies.

Luo Jingming is a member of Guoxie’s pediatric surgery department, but during the time that Nie Jiamin is absent, he’s been sent to other hospitals for half a year of further training. Doctors have to work and learn for their entire life. Whenever the hospital has a task, it’s common to send them elsewhere for training.

In terms of which domestic pediatric surgery is the strongest, it’s Shou’er. So, two days before the New Year’s Eve, on the 29th according to the hospital’s established plan, he was sent to Shou’er for further training. As a Guoxie attending doctor, further training is certainly not like a medical student internship, following behind teachers to do things. The training hospital will arrange for them to independently stand duty based on their capability. During the Spring Festival, he was on duty in the Shou’er Emergency Department, almost with no rest.

"The patient’s family is someone you know?" Luo Jingming asked the junior sister.

"Yes."

"Professor Nie is not here, but you can send the child to Shou’er. I’ll see if I can help arrange a bed in the hospital." As he spoke, Luo Jingming’s tone became increasingly uncertain.
