CHAPTER 49: CHAPTER 49: THE IMPORTANCE OF CONNECTIONS

"Attend a lecture?"

Ning Yunhao looked somewhat puzzled.

"Xiao Zhao is taking the anesthesiology exam lately, so he sought out relevant professors to attend lectures,"

Gao Jun explained on behalf of Zhao Heng.

"Whether it’s doing TEE or superior vena cava catheterization, these procedures are at the forefront of anesthesiology. Xiao Zhao, with your skills, passing the exam shouldn’t be a big problem."

Ning Yunhao said thoughtfully.

It’s fair to say that in Eastern Hospital for so many years, among the younger generation of doctors, no one seems to match Zhao Heng’s emergency handling skills, according to Ning Yunhao.

Ordinarily, if you can think of it, as long as your knowledge is broad and your accumulation is vast, it’s achievable.

However, under circumstances where a patient’s life is hanging by a thread and facing immense pressure, being able to think of things that others can’t, such qualities and capabilities are truly remarkable.

"Xiao Zhao, if there’s anything in the future, feel free to tell me. I’ve been at Eastern Hospital for so many years, and I still have some influence."

After a pause, Ning Yunhao said to Zhao Heng again.

Whether it’s for Zhao Heng helping him tremendously this time, essentially saving his career, or for the abilities and potential Zhao Heng has shown, Ning Yunhao finds him deserving of special treatment.

"Hmm, thank you, Teacher Ning."

Zhao Heng nodded.

Sitting alongside, Gao Jun, watching this scene, felt even happier in his heart.

The remarkable Ning Yunhao can be said to be the most promising deputy chief doctor in Eastern Hospital in recent years.

Obtaining his support is certainly advantageous for Zhao Heng.

In just a while, the surgery ended smoothly, and the patient was sent to the ICU.

Before leaving the operating room, Ning Yunhao expressed his gratitude to Zhao Heng once more.

Upon returning to the break room, Gao Jun then asked Zhao Heng, "You just discussed briefly with Professor Huang, but you could perform so proficiently today?"

No wonder he found it odd, as all clinical procedures require time to practice to become proficient.

Just seeing and chatting, then being able to perform flawlessly under intense pressure at a critical moment — he’s truly a rare genius!

"Hmm, at that time I wasn’t overthinking it, I just spoke out my ideas as they came to mind."

Zhao Heng nodded saying.

He initially thought Gao Jun might say he was too reckless.

"What you did today was very correct; don’t have any psychological burden. Medicine inherently involves taking risks. If all doctors were only concerned with complete assurance, many patients would certainly be lost."

Understanding Zhao Heng’s thoughts, Gao Jun comforted him.

"Hmm, I understand."

Zhao Heng nodded thoughtfully.

As a doctor, sometimes you’re fighting for life in Death’s hands. If you truly seek stability in everything, constantly hesitating and overthinking, you won’t have time to devise foolproof measures before the patient has already reported to another world.

"Ning Yunhao, among all deputy chief doctors at Eastern Hospital, is the most outstanding, which greatly benefits your network building."

Gao Jun added.

A person who only works hard might become a doctor with excellent professional quality but will undoubtedly not ascend too far. The reality is such that to go far, you must walk on dual paths: both your own level must be high, and you also seek some support.

As it says in military tactics, combining surprise with predictable strategies is essential; this applies to life and work too. Competency and means are complementary and indispensable.

"Teacher, I haven’t thought that far."

In Zhao Heng’s mind, there weren’t such utilitarian notions. He stood out in the operating room from a doctor’s instinctive response.

In such scenarios, there’s no room for overthinking.

"Previously you might not have needed to consider this, but now you must start paying more attention. How should I say? The path you’re walking differs from mine. Once your level reaches the top, able to accomplish what others cannot, excellent connections will naturally form around you — that’s the ideal situation."

Gao Jun stated.

"That is indeed the ideal situation; I don’t have that talent, unreachable for me, but I think you can."

After a pause, Gao Jun added.

"Professor Huang is indeed remarkable."

Zhao Heng suddenly exclaimed, thinking that hadn’t he attended the lectures absorbing Professor Huang’s experiences today, he’d be a mere spectator in that situation.

"That’s for sure. Any professor who can compile textbooks is the pinnacle within the industry."

Gao Jun nodded.

"Now, I really can’t teach you much; later, consult Professor Huang more often. He enjoys mentoring young people. Eastern Hospital is soon to establish the anesthesia and perioperative center, and Professor Huang is part of the preparation and approval committee, holding the most influence."

Only with Zhao Heng does Gao Jun speak this much heartfelt words.

"Teacher, what exactly is this anesthesia and perioperative medicine center?"

Right now, Zhao Heng was somewhat puzzled; he only knew of Eastern Hospital planning this center because Professor Huang mentioned it. And Gao Jun, considering his background, probably entered anesthesiology for this anesthesia and perioperative center.

"The anesthesia and perioperative medicine center is a modern integrated anesthesia surgery center, combining clinical, research, and teaching, primarily responsible for anesthesia clinics, pain clinics, clinical anesthesia and intraoperative management, day surgery anesthesia, labor pain relief, comfortable pain-free diagnostics, perioperative pain treatment, PACU, perioperative complication management, and intensive care system."

"To establish such a comprehensive center, it’s necessary to equip with laminar flow purification operating rooms, intelligent management systems, high-end anesthesia equipment, advanced endoscopic and microsystems, and even top Da Vinci robots. Without a tremendously capable large comprehensive hospital, it’s impossible to host."

Speaking of this, Gao Jun was visibly enthusiastic, clearly having been preparing for this center for a long time.

"Doesn’t it mean that apart from anesthesia, this center must also include some post-operative recovery care and intensive care functions?"

Upon hearing Gao Jun’s introduction, Zhao Heng spoke with astonishment.

Not to mention the professional aspects, just discussing the medical methods involved in this center, they’re extremely costly.

Frankly, once established, this anesthesia and perioperative center will be top-notch in revenue generation.

"That’s correct."

Gao Jun nodded.

"Anesthesia and perioperative is a very new discipline, developing rapidly in recent years. So, there are many gaps needing to be filled in this regard — it’s why Eastern Hospital aims to establish such a medical center."

After a pause, Gao Jun continued.
