He is not a doctor at Shou’er, and the matter of beds is not something he can decide; it needs communication and coordination with the doctors at Shou’er. The bed situation at Shou’er is incredibly tight, much more than at Guoxie and other hospitals.
Ranked first nationally as a children’s specialty hospital, Shou’er appears even more constrained in demand compared to general tertiary hospitals. The reason is the scarcity of specialty departments in pediatric specialty hospitals within the country. The shortcomings of domestic pediatrics cannot be made up for in a short time. Facilities are easy to build, equipment can be bought with money, but talent cultivation requires generation after generation and a very long time.
Every year, medical students and doctors nationwide flock to Shou’er for training, forming long queues. Without personal connections, it’s impossible to find a learning opportunity here.
Senior Luo underwent training at Shou’er not just as a transient observer like some trainees, but actively learned and engaged, thanks to his connection through President Wu. It is rumored that President Wu has a very good personal relationship with Director Pang of Shou’er and are close friends.
"I’ve just arrived and am not familiar with the people here," Luo Jingming cautioned his junior colleague that patients sent over might not be immediately assigned a bed.
Xie Wanying discussed with her senior, "The pediatricians at Beidou Third Hospital have limited skills. How about transferring the child over and letting Shou’er’s specialists do an initial check-up while waiting for a bed?"
"That’s fine," Luo Jingming agreed with her suggestion. With no available beds, the only option was to push hard for allocation; starting the queue early extends opportunities.
After negotiation, Xie Wanying returned to report to her teacher and the child’s family.
The doctors at Beidou Third Hospital began preparing the child’s transfer procedures and arranged for an ambulance dedicated to transferring pediatric patients.
Upon hearing the news of the child’s situation, Little Sister Luo’s emotions were unstable, requiring a family member for accompaniment; Brother Luo was unable to accompany the child for a transfer for treatment.
On site, only Hu Hao, the child’s father, was available to go along.
Unwilling to leave it at that, Brother Luo said to Xie Wanying, "Dr. Xie, my sister and I only trust you. If anything happens, give me a call; my sister and I will listen to you."
Family trust in the doctor is good, but legally, there are many decisions doctors cannot participate in, such as signing for expensive drugs during emergency surgeries, and so on.
Xie Wanying further communicated with Brother Luo, "Letting him accompany can prevent delays in the child’s emergency surgery; if necessary, I will call you. Regarding the expenses for the treatment after the child’s transfer, he can afford it."
Dr. Xie’s pragmatism was indeed convincing, and Brother Luo nodded in agreement.
The ambulance was arranged. The child lay inside an incubator on the ambulance. Various emergency equipment was fully prepared in the vehicle. Xie Wanying, together with a nurse dispatched from Beidou Third Hospital, was responsible for the child’s transfer work. Hu Hao got on the ambulance to accompany the child.
Upon careful observation, it was evident that both Little Sister Luo and Hu Hao’s child were good-looking. Little Sister Luo herself had delicate features; although Hu Hao was somewhat short, his features included some noteworthy aspects, such as his straight nose bridge. This child seemed to have inherited the excellent physical features from both his mother and father.
A beautiful child enjoys many advantages. Human nature inclines toward aesthetic appeal. Just like everyone loves beautiful flowers, nobody likes ugly insects. Perhaps there was previously no interest in Little Sister Luo’s child, but upon seeing the child’s appearance, Hu Hao was emotionally moved.
A lovely child suffering from illness, like a wilting flower, particularly pulls at the heartstrings, even more so when this child is one’s biological child. Hu Hao gazed at the child inside the incubator, with his eyes unknowingly turning red, suddenly feeling a longing to take his child’s place in suffering.
