From small clinic to medical empire

Chapter 80 Do You Understand Internal Medicine
After Wang Jingjing left, Shi Xiaoya knocked on the door and came in.

It turns out that it’s half way through June, and it’s time for the semi-annual calibration of special instruments.

As large as a high-temperature sterilizer, as small as an oxygen flow meter, a blood pressure meter, and a medical scale, these measuring equipment need to be sent to the S City Special Equipment Inspection and Research Institute for calibration.

These devices are directly related to medical quality and safety, and can only be used in medical institutions if they have obtained relevant qualified labels.

If it is damaged, the Testing Institute will repair and calibrate it, but as an administrative monopoly business, the price is not cheap.

As for the equipment that cannot be repaired by Xiudu, the research institute will scrap it forcibly to ensure that no faulty equipment will endanger the health of patients.

Testing and maintenance are another big expense, at least a few thousand yuan, and tens of thousands if not done well.

Although he has great trust in Shi Xiaoya, as a manager, Zhang Zifan must avoid blind spots in supervision.

Therefore, he asked Shi Xiaoya and Tranquility to be responsible for the inspection and retrieval of the instruments respectively, and to check the invoices in person, so that the possibility of falsely reporting the number of tests and defrauding the outpatient department of funds can be basically avoided.

……

Today's daily task was a small debridement, Zhang Zifan completed it easily, and did not encounter any major surgery after that.

When it was time to get off work, Yang Tingting ran over and invited Zhang Zifan to have dessert together.

"Your treat?" Zhang Zifan raised his head in disbelief.

"What do you mean! It's not the first time I invite you to dinner!"

Yang Tingting curled her lips. She wasn't lying. The two of them had always been invited by you and me by mine, or simply by AA. It was only recently that she frequently ate and drank together.

According to Yang Tingting's words, she eats and drinks not because Zhang Zifan is a boy, but because she eliminates the gap between the rich and the poor and cracks down on local tyrants.

"I'm treating you this time! Repay the favor of the parking space!" Yang Tingting's big eyes were full of sincerity.

……

The two didn't go too far. There is a newly opened Manji Dessert on Zhiling Road not far away, which is Yang Tingting's favorite.

After drinking two cups of Yang Zhi Nectar, Yang Tingting showed her true face.

"Brother, I didn't expect that the outpatient department would be set up as a physical examination center so soon. I think the physical examination for adults is too thin. Do you think we should let our pediatric department occupy a consulting room in the physical examination center?"

Yang Tingting made this request with a guilty conscience.

In terms of benefits, it is not cost-effective to designate a children's physical examination area in the physical examination center.

Because it is different from the economies of scale in which enterprises and institutions organize physical examinations for employees, children's physical examinations are generally carried out on a family basis, one by two.

Even if kindergartens and primary schools organize centralized physical examinations, hospitals usually provide door-to-door services and drive physical examination vehicles to the schools.

Anyway, Yang Tingting has never seen a teacher bring groups of children to the hospital. Once nosocomial infection occurs, the school cannot bear this responsibility.

But on the other hand, children’s physical examinations, especially children’s endocrine examinations, are very important.

Due to various reasons such as food safety and environmental pollution, in modern society, the proportion of children experiencing precocious puberty and developmental delay increases year by year.

However, due to the lack of pediatricians, medical resources in this area are relatively tight, and many children do not receive effective examinations and corresponding treatments.

Moreover, the treatment of endocrine diseases in children is time-sensitive and window-based. Once the golden age is missed, it will be useless to remedy it.

Whenever she sees a child who misses the chance of treatment due to various reasons, Yang Tingting, as a pediatrician, is full of regret and guilt.

Listening to her getting more and more aggrieved, Zhang Zifan stopped pretending to frown and sighed: "This will require a lot of additional budget... But it's not impossible... as long as..."

"Just what?" Yang Tingting's eyes lit up and she asked quickly.

"As long as you bring me breakfast every morning for the next month, I want you to cook rice and tea eggs. You know, my tongue is very good. I will never forget your craftsmanship. Don't even think about using the ones you bought. Fool me earlier!"

"Okay! It's a deal!" Yang Tingting was afraid of Zhang Zifan's repentance, so she quickly palmed Zhang Zifan.

One month's breakfast is exchanged for a children's physical examination clinic. This is a great deal, isn't it!
For a moment, Zhang Zifan and Yang Tingting each showed a thief's smile.

……

After saying goodbye to Yang Tingting, Zhang Zifan planned to go to Fat Aunt's house to have a bowl of wontons again.

I don’t know how a girl’s stomach grows. Just eating desserts can be enough for dinner, which doesn’t feel fulfilling at all.

While crossing the road, Zhang Zifan happened to see Li Chao, wearing a police uniform and riding a bicycle with one hand as he got off work.

He has had a broken bone for 6 weeks.

Because it was a green stick fracture of the epiphysis, Li Chao came to the outpatient department to take an X-ray for reexamination in the fourth week, and found that the healing was good, and the plaster was removed.

Zhang Zifan greeted him and said, "Officer Li, you are on duty with an injury? Although the plaster cast has been removed, the wrist can't bear the force yet. Does the traffic police care if you ride with one hand like this?"

"Director Zhang, please do me a favor, stop yelling! The influence is not good!"

Li Chao stopped his bicycle and said dumbfoundedly, "Who doesn't want to take a break, there is no way. In the past two days of the college entrance examination, all road sections, school gates, and residential areas will be restricted, and honking is also prohibited. It’s all about things, there’s a shortage of people in the institute!”

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Zhang Zifan gave a thumbs up, the temperature has been very high these two days, hot and stuffy, Li Chao's police uniform is completely soaked.

"Haha, so are you, Director Zhang!"

Li Chao said with a smile, "Recently, many residents said that thanks to our publicity, they found the good doctor at the door! They also said that Officer Li is a dog nose, there are good things there, and they will be the first to find them."

The two chatted for a while, and were about to say goodbye to each other, when Li Chao's cell phone rang.

"Hello? It's Uncle Chen, what's the matter?"

"What? Your grandson has a fever? He has to go to the hospital for emergency treatment at this time. The outpatient department is closed."

"Okay, just wait, I'll help!"

With that said, Li Chao hung up the phone.

"What happened to Officer Li?" Zhang Zifan asked curiously.

Li Chao shook his head and said: "It's a five-guarantee household in our area. The old man is paralyzed in bed, and the grandson seems to be sick again. It's very miserable. I have to help!"

"Is it because the child has a fever? How about I go and have a look too, your hands are inconvenient." Zhang Zifan suggested.

"Huh? Doctor Zhang, aren't you a surgeon? You can watch it even if you have a cold and a fever?" Li Chao asked in surprise.

"A little bit, a little bit!"

Zhang Zifan got on his bicycle, asked Li Chao to sit on the back rack, and followed his instructions to ride into the community.
