This Doctor Is Too Wealthy

Mei Dong heaved a deep sigh. ”Dean, you need to understand that Doctor Du is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and I am a Western medicine doctor. We belong to two completely different systems. Why do you think that I, a Western medicine doctor, can understand a traditional Chinese medicine doctor’s treatment methods?

Moreover, as far as we know, Doctor Du has already successfully treated and discharged two pediatric patients, and another thirty are recovering well. However, I have only seen the treatment method for one pediatric patient and one complete diagnostic and treatment record.

This record includes acupuncture, massage, massage, and Decoction medicine, making it a very systematic traditional Chinese medicine treatment process. Do you think anyone can understand it after reading it just once?

Our hospital’s archives also hold over a dozen such records from earlier years. The TCM practitioners in our hospital have been studying them for decades and still haven’t figured them out.

What makes you think that if you suddenly apply for a research project today, everyone will be able to understand this issue?”

The female Dean was left speechless by Mei Dong’s rebuttal, stammering, ”If Du Heng can figure it out by himself, can’t we manage it by combining the power of our entire hospital?

If we can secure this research project, do you know what the status of our Provincial Women and Children’s Hospital will become?

Never mind being the foremost in the West Five Provinces. If we can secure this research project, we could become the top in the entire country, or even a world-renowned Specialized Hospital.”

The corner of Mei Dong’s mouth twitched. ”Everyone understands this principle, but whether it can be achieved is another matter entirely. There’s a difference between aspirations and fantasies.”

The female Dean realized she had lost her composure. She took a deep breath and quickly regained control of her emotions. ”In that case, let’s try another approach. Director Mei, could you please talk to Doctor Du and propose that our two hospitals collaborate on this project? We can share the achievements afterward.”

Mei Dong could no longer hold back. ”Dean, do you really take Doctor Du for an idiot?” He scoffed, ”He currently has the techniques, a team, and a constant stream of patients.

Moreover, given Doctor Du’s current influence, while I can’t say for certain, I estimate he could definitely secure research funds of up to one million.

He has money, personnel, facilities, and patients. Why should he cooperate with you?

Why should he share his achievements with you?”

The female Dean’s expression turned grim. She had never imagined that Mei Dong, a Director in her own hospital, would show her no deference at all. ”But our team has rich experience and is very familiar with this disease.

Our team is ten times, even a hundred times, better than the team at the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital.

With such an excellent team collaborating, this project can progress faster and yield greater results.

What’s wrong with me requesting to share the results?”

Mei Dong looked at the agitated female Dean and gave a helpless laugh. He suddenly lacked the energy to explain further.

When a person, especially a woman, gets caught in her own closed loop of thought, arguing only makes that loop seal tighter.

Mei Dong calmed himself. ”Doctor Du is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor; he already has his own philosophy and methods for treating this disease.

Our Western medicine experience is worthless to him.”

Mei Dong sighed softly. ”Dean, the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital is under city leadership. They aren’t our subordinate unit, and we aren’t the center of the universe.

I’ve had contact with Doctor Du, and I’ve recently learned more about his past. He isn’t a selfish person.

If we want to cooperate with him, we must show our sincerity and the respect Doctor Du deserves. I believe it’s negotiable.

But with your current attitude, Dean, don’t come to me. I can’t afford that embarrassment.”

After saying this, Mei Dong had no desire to argue further with the female Dean. He turned and left the office.

In the past, Du Heng had some minor fame, but it was truly minor. His excellent medical skills indeed attracted attention, but various hospitals, especially Big Hospitals, weren’t short of talent capable of diagnosing and treating diseases.

The Provincial First Hospital’s Chinese Medicine Department was able to recruit him as a Deputy Director partly because Li Jianwei initially had his own motives, and partly because Du Heng was genuinely talented. That’s how his external employment as a Deputy Director came about.

As for Digestion Department 1, Xu Pinglin was in a tight spot back then. Du Heng had the strength, and the timing was opportune. Furthermore, due to matters related to a lawsuit at the time, he somewhat haphazardly formed a connection with Digestion Department 1.

But what about other hospitals that knew of Du Heng, like the Municipal First Hospital? They maintained an attitude of temporary cooperation and didn’t extend strong invitations for him to join any specific department.

However, now that Du Heng had demonstrated his ability to win awards and conduct research projects, he had become the kind of talent that major hospitals truly needed.

The Provincial First Hospital, the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the Provincial Women and Children’s Hospital all sprang into action.

The Municipal First Hospital, having an existing relationship, certainly wouldn’t fall behind.

Moreover, the Golden First and Second Hospitals, and the Provincial Oncology Hospital, with their more extensive networks, also quietly made their approaches.

This made Du Heng quite annoyed.

He despised these situations, full of forced smiles and insincere talk.

Now that people were even pursuing him to his office door, Du Heng decided to avoid the office altogether. He handed his work phone to Kang Zhirong and slipped away to the hospital rooms.
