Chapter 1262: Chapter 962: The Medical Examination Report of a Middle-aged Man

The Overseas Chinese Building is in a completely different league when compared to normal wards; all of the rooms are suites with meticulous decoration, taking into account both environmental considerations and a touch of luxury. The meals provided are a blend of nutrition and taste, meticulously crafted through the collaboration of professional chefs and dieticians.

The patients here, whether in treatment or examination, are always given priority. Even for a simple test, there will be one-on-one nurse accompaniment. The treatment plans are devised by the hospital’s finest medical teams and sometimes even utilize external medical resources from across the country for consultations. But the most, most, most important thing is to have Yang Ping as the chief surgeon here as soon as possible.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither was the Overseas Chinese Building. Its scale today is the result of continuous expansions led by Dean Xia.

There was no avoiding it; as the popularity of Sanbo Hospital increased, the number of patients grew, and naturally, the number of those staying in the Overseas Chinese Building increased as well.

The Overseas Chinese Building’s departments, including internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, and orthopedics, are all fully occupied, with many patients coming from abroad. Of course, patients able to stay here, whether from abroad or domestic, are certainly either wealthy or prestigious; unlike the average person, they never consider the cost of treatment.

Dean Xia has a keen sense for management. He actively expanded the Overseas Chinese Building, especially increasing the ratio of international patients, and then used its income to subsidize departments that weren’t profitable. This strategy is what allowed the hospital to maintain balanced development.

Take the pediatric department, for instance; it’s a department with heavy workload but very low income. Many pediatricians from other hospitals were forced to resign and change careers, some preferring to sell insurance rather than continue in pediatrics. It’s a lot of work, often thankless, and can even involve being scolded or assaulted.

To counteract the talent drain in pediatrics, Dean Xia had instituted a subsidy policy early on, reallocating funds from other departments to support pediatrics. Now, with the revenue from the Overseas Chinese Building, they could directly subsidize pediatrics, immediately making the incomes of the pediatric doctors and nurses much more appealing. This fundamentally stabilized the retention of staff in pediatrics, and then further policies were implemented to promote fair dealings between medical staff and patients, ensuring that in any dispute, the medical staff would not be blamed by default.

The private wards in the Overseas Chinese Building have a premium price, extravagantly so. At the time of pricing, a single surgery could cost millions, and overall treatment could range from millions to tens of millions. Many thought these prices were absurd, believing no one would seek treatment here. Dean Xia implemented this "ridiculous" pricing despite considerable pressure.

It turned out that Dean Xia was right; his pricing wasn’t ridiculous at all. It simply aligned medical costs with international standards. Even with these high prices, wealthy individuals from both home and abroad didn’t mind. They eagerly paid the hefty fees for surgeries at Sanbo Hospital, even for minor procedures.

Now that the Overseas Chinese Building was once again reaching capacity, Dean Xia began to consider another expansion. In his eyes, the Overseas Chinese Building had become the primary economic source for Sanbo Hospital—the principle of increasing revenue and decreasing expenses, this facility being the major source.

When Yang Ping arrived at the Overseas Chinese Building, Xiao Su was jogging slowly on the treadmill in the maternity ward’s exercise room, surrounded by a crowd that included doctors, nurses, and maternity exercise instructors. Some monitored her heart rate and other vital signs, some evaluated the exercise intensity and duration, and others were ready for any emergencies that could arise.

After ten months of pregnancy comes delivery. These days were the predicted due date, and Xiao Su had started to feel pain in her belly, yet there was no sign of labor. The doctors suggested she should move around more, as it would help with the delivery.

Sanbo Hospital’s Human Resources Office not only arranged for Xiao Su to stay in the Overseas Chinese Building for the delivery but also carefully selected a team of maternity caregivers to assist her. Yang Ping didn’t reject such high-standard treatment; if he could provide good conditions for his wife and child, and it was all legal and fair, he gladly accepted it.

The number in the accompanying birth team wasn’t just limited to that. Throughout the maternity period, head nurses from various departments took turns visiting Xiao Su, encouraging her and sharing their experiences to ease her mind. Although she was initially not nervous, the attention from so many people made her somewhat anxious.

Head Nurse Cai simply handed over her duties to a capable assistant in her department and joined Xiao Su’s mother in accompanying Xiao Su until the delivery—a notion suggested by the Human Resources Office, hoping that Head Nurse Cai would stay with her throughout the process.

Ning Qi, the chairperson of Anning Group, was very familiar with Xiao Su, as she often visited the Surgical Research Institute, and they had become good friends. She also took time out to join the birth support team full-time. Participating in the team were also Huang Jiacai’s sister Huang Jiahui, Xiao Su’s best friend Qiu Nuo, Tang Fei, Zhang Lin, and Little Five’s wife also insisted on coming. However, the ward could not accommodate so many people at once; besides, having such a large group gather for childbirth made Xiao Su feel somewhat embarrassed.

At that moment, Mrs. Su was also by her side. Having been a nurse herself, Yang Ping felt reassured with her presence. Xiao Su knew Yang Ping was busy, "Don’t worry about me; just go and do what you need to do, and then come and accompany me after work."

"That won’t do; whenever I have time, I’ll come and be with you. I even want to take paternity leave. Nowadays, men have paternity leave too, right? Having a child is a big deal," Yang Ping said with a smile.

Xiao Su dismissed the concern, "Most women have to give birth. It’s a common thing. Treat it as normal. Don’t make it into a grand affair. There’s no activity yet, so go do what you need to do."
