Chapter 720: Chapter 641: Marriage Alliance

For three consecutive days after the surgery, Yang Ping visited Qin Xiaowei and Li Jun in the ICU three times a day.

Qin Xiaowei and Li Jun were conscious, their vital signs were stable, and the dynamic monitoring of their liver and kidney functions were good, indicating that the surgery was highly successful.

Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang now have to work hard again to learn about organ transplantation to keep up with Yang Ping’s pace.

To increase their efficiency, Yang Ping provided them with a tutorial on organ transplantation. This tutorial, printed on A4 paper, was added by Song Zimo to his collection of valuable materials. Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang internalized Yang Ping’s manuscript and then extended their reading to other specialized books and papers. This is a fixed mode of learning new surgery techniques.

If it weren’t for these straight-A personalities, it would really be challenging to keep up with Yang Ping’s rhythm.

Those with slightly lower intelligence would probably find it draining.

As for treating scoliosis with external spinal fixation, Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang have already started writing the paper and plan to submit it to the "Science" journal.

This technique completely overturns the traditional principles of treating scoliosis. It uses new, safe, and progressive methods to correct spinal deformities, indicating a revolutionary breakthrough globally.

Heavyweight papers should be published in heavyweight journals.

At four and a half in the afternoon, Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang were busy revising the paper. After making one round of revisions, Song Zimo took a break, then said to Xu Zhiliang, "In regards to the rank of authors, the professor is first, I’m second, you’re third, followed by Little Five, Zhang Lin, Li Guodong, and then the doctors from Xiehe Hospital. Is that ok?"

Xu Zhiliang had no objections at all. After all, Song Zimo had contributed more than he had, so it was natural for him to be ranked second.

If he were able to rank third on a paper in the "Science" journal, Xu Zhiliang would feel exhilarated—it’s the kind of thing people can’t sleep over.

"On average, it takes about 138 days from submission to acceptance in Science, and the acceptance rate is only 25.7%. If we successfully publish this paper, won’t our professor be promoted directly to tenured, and we graduate early? And even possibly become doctoral advisors? Won’t our positions as deputy chief physicians and associate professors also be secured?" Xu Zhiliang could not contain his excitement.

Song Zimo nodded and said, "I think everything you’ve mentioned should be feasible. It’s rare for clinical physicians to publish papers in Science or Nature because it’s harder than for those in basic medicine."

The two of them took a break and then continued revising the paper. Only when they deemed it perfect would they hand it over to Yang Ping.

Zhang Lin and Little Five had already completed a draft of their book, "Surgical Hook Techniques". They were also using their spare time to revise the draft.

Furthermore, they were not content with just that. They were planning to design some new hooks. They bought almost all the available hooks on the market from equipment suppliers for research, then downloaded and printed all the patent information about hooks from the patent library. They studied them day in and day out.

As members of the Comprehensive Surgery Department, they couldn’t lag behind others. They too had their own dreams.

In addition to this, Little Five and Zhang Lin were also preparing for exams, planning to take the doctoral exams. Without a doctoral degree, they would feel inferior in this kind of hospital and department. The two people had a strong sense of urgency and were determined to pass the doctoral exams at all costs.

Yang Ping did some experiments in the system space. The inducing substances for stem cell differentiation had been almost completely screened by him. He had selected dozens of proteins, and now he had to conduct reverse verification, using these proteins to induce stem cell differentiation and observing whether they could successfully induce them into target cells.

Not long after he had rested, he received a call from the hospital administration, asking him to attend a meeting.

It must be something significant; otherwise, they usually wouldn’t ask Yang Ping. Putting his work aside, Yang Ping went to the meeting room in the administration building.

Department heads from other divisions had already arrived, but Dean Xia had not yet arrived. Everyone was discussing what the focal point of the meeting might be.

A girl from the hospital administration showed Yang Ping to a seat next to Director Han. Upon sitting, he chatted with Director Han.

Director Han intentionally kept it mysterious, saying that there was some important news to announce but he couldn’t reveal it just yet.

At this moment, Dean Xia and several deputy deans arrived at the meeting room, and everyone quieted down.

Dean Xia went straight to the point as soon as he sat down, his voice resonating like a large bell, "Department heads, I called you here today because there is a significant matter that we need to discuss. A significant decision for Sanbo Hospital needs to be made collectively. The issue is that the province authorities are contemplating integrating us into Nandu Medical University to become one of their affiliated hospitals. Not just in name, but a genuinely direct-affiliated hospital. I wonder what thoughts you all might have?"

Becoming a directly affiliated hospital of Nandu Medical University, it will henceforth be referred to as the Nandu Medical University’s Sanbo Hospital.

This is absolutely great news!

Once a hospital develops to a certain extent, it hopes to be associated with a medical university to enhance its research capabilities. In recent years, Nandu Province Engineering University added a medical college, and the Nandu Provincial People’s Hospital immediately allied with Nandu Engineering University, becoming the first affiliated hospital of Nandu Engineering University’s medical school.

This move is to improve the scientific research level of the hospital. In simple terms, it’s to elevate its prestige and upgrade its platform.

Now that Nandu Medical University is actively recruiting Sanbo Hospital, the vast majority of the staff members agree. Which top domestic hospital is not affiliated with a medical university?

What will this change mean for the status of the staff?

Especially the directors of various departments, will there be changes?

Will Nandu Medical University reshuffle personnel and appoint people from other affiliated hospitals to our positions?

This is the foremost worry for all the directors, as personal interests are always the prime concern.

Therefore, upon hearing this news, there was immediate discussion and worry about personnel changes amongst those present.

Xiong Shihai from the Emergency Department was the first to raise a question: "Dean Xia, this is a good thing, but I want to ask, after the change, how will the status of our hospital staff be affected? Will there be any personnel adjustments?"

Dean Xia nodded: "That’s a good question, and it’s the reason I’ve called you all here today. After the hospital becomes affiliated with Nandu Medical University, we will keep everything as it is for fifteen years. We won’t interfere with any personnel affairs. Moreover, for these fifteen years, Nandu Medical University will only provide support, not exploit us!"

"Is there such a good thing?" One director seemed skeptical.

"Have any support without any exploitation, why are they doing this? Where in the world do pies fall from the sky?"

Dean Xia knew everyone would have doubts: "You all trust me, Xia Changjiang, right? If there were even the slightest harm to your interests, or to the hospital’s interests, I would definitely not do it. I have been carefully evaluating this for a while now, and I believe there are no pitfalls here. It’s a good thing. After the change, all of you directors will still be directors. I will still be the dean. If there are any changes, I will be the first to lead you all in smashing their school, even destroying the principal’s home. The principal is my classmate. I know his address. If this dean isn’t worried, then what are you all worried about?"

Everyone laughed at this. The prestige of Dean Xia in the hearts of everyone was unquestionable.

"As long as this doesn’t harm the hospital’s interests or the interests of everyone here, who would disagree?" said Director Guan from the Interventional Department.

Dean Xia continued explaining to everyone: "Nandu Medical University values our growth potential. Our hospital has been developing vigorously recently, especially the Comprehensive Surgery Department. This department leads our hospital. I hope none of you have objections to that?"

Everyone shook their heads. Who could object to that? The director of the Comprehensive Surgery Department, Yang Ping, was young and had won the national Golden Knife Award for Sanbo Hospital. He even conducted a clinical trial of an external spinal fixation frame in the United States, which greatly accelerated the development of the entire Orthopedics Department. Even Xiehe Hospital sent people to learn from us.

If the Comprehensive Surgery Department isn’t the leading department, then who dares to claim that title?

"If the Comprehensive Surgery Department isn’t leading, then who dares to claim to be?" Director Gao was the first to applaud, and everyone followed suit.

"Excellent! Nandu Medical University and Nandu Affiliated Hospital One have also been developing rapidly in recent years. But if they want to compete with Xiehe Hospital in Beijing, they are a bit lacking. Thus, they want to strengthen their affiliated hospitals. The provincial government has the same idea. I have always wanted to improve the level of our hospital. Look, the Nandu Provincial People’s Hospital reached out to Nandu Engineering University for backing and even established the Nandu Academy of Medical Sciences. The progress they have made in scientific research in recent years is evident to all, particularly their treatment of cardiovascular diseases, which is at the forefront of the country. Therefore, I have been considering this issue. Since Nandu Medical University wants to form an alliance, why shouldn’t we go with the flow?"

As long as it doesn’t harm the interests of the hospital or everyone here, it’s a good thing.

Don’t let the opportunity slip by only to be exploited later.

"After we join the Nandu Medical University, the relationship with our supportive Overseas Chinese Foundation will remain unchanged. Everyone’s position will remain the same. After the change, our hospital will be under the ministry, not the province, thus advancing our status. Moreover, research funding will multiply and pour in."

"Without joining Nandu Medical University, our hospital might have been swallowed up by a Beijing hospital. The provincial government, Dean Xia, and Nandu Medical University didn’t want that to happen. That’s why they are attracting us with such favorable terms,"
