Surgery Godfather

Chapter 272: Chapter 0256: Medical Tourism Group

On Sunday, Yang Ping was scheduled to perform surgeries at Li Quan Hospital.

In the future, unless there were special circumstances, his surgical operations would take place at Li Quan Hospital on Sundays.

On this day, Yang Ping would be free and Xiao Su could also return home, making it possible for Yang Ping to clear some time for surgeries, both for public and private reasons.

His multi-site practice permit was also issued. Thus, it was legal and rational for him to perform surgeries at Li Quan Hospital, as it was part of his regular medical practice. There was no need for a consultation process. As for making money, it was entirely honorable. Li Quan Hospital was a private hospital, aiming at the high-end market, therefore there was a great margin for pricing.

Currently, what Boss Cheng offered Yang Ping for each surgery was five thousand yuan. This price was not as high as that of Professor Ye from Beijing, but it was already comparable to the cost of the operations performed by general professionals in top-tier hospitals in G City.

The patients who came to Li Quan Hospital for operations did not care about the expense but were interested in the quality of medical care and service. At present, both could be satisfied at Li Quan Hospital.

...

Although there were many surgeries, Boss Cheng dared not disturb Yang Ping’s sleep by fetching him too early.

Picking him up at nine o’clock seemed appropriate. They would arrive at Li Quan Hospital a little after ten o’clock. With Yang Ping’s efficiency, one operation per hour, he could perform surgeries until late evening and complete nine surgeries without a problem.

Boss Cheng arrived at Sanbo Hospital an hour early. He found a temporary parking spot next to the main entrance of the comprehensive building, set his mobile phone alarm, reclined his seat, and rested in the car.

Running a private hospital was truly demanding. Unlike public hospitals, especially those at county, city, and provincial levels, and traditional medicine hospitals, the patients they served were almost always the same. No matter who the dean was, the operations wouldn’t differ much, with few exceptions.

Private hospitals were different; they didn’t have a fixed market and had to establish their own. In the current social environment, people generally distrust private hospitals, especially due to some instances of grabbing for short-term profit, which further exacerbated the predicament of private hospitals.

At eight fifty, Yang Ping emerged from the entrance of the comprehensive building, carrying out his Sunday routine of ward rounds, especially keeping a close eye on Fang Xiaoyun, whose postoperative neurological symptoms had worsened.

From his car, Boss Cheng could see the entrance. Once Yang Ping came out, he promptly got in tune with Yang Ping: “Dr. Yang!”

After giving it much thought, Boss Cheng believed this title was the most suitable. It reflected Yang Ping’s proficiency and didn’t appear to be casual.

“Oh, Boss Cheng, you’ve been waiting for a long time, haven’t you? Why didn’t you come up and sit for a while?” Yang Ping replied upon noticing Boss Cheng.

“No, no, I just arrived. I was about to call you, and here you are. This way—” Boss Cheng led the way with a slight bow.

He opened the car door, using his hand to block the top frame of the door as Yang Ping got in – “Old Cheng, you don’t need to be so polite, it’s unnecessarily formal.”

“I must, despite being so busy, you still found time to help me. I am very grateful. According to you, there are nine surgeries scheduled for today and another nine for next week.” Boss Cheng gently closed the car door.

The car had been pre-started, and the air conditioning was set to a comfortable temperature. If Yang Ping was to step into the cold car, he might feel stuffy and uncomfortable, even if it was just for a minute or two, it would not be acceptable.

“The remaining nine patients will have to wait a week, won’t they? So next time we can let them schedule ahead of time for better planning,” Yang Ping suggested.

Boss Cheng immediately responded, “Understood. They came suddenly this time, so we didn’t make an appointment. They mentioned that they’re a medical tourism group. The person leading the group was your previous surgery patient who has made a good recovery and is now coming to you for a follow-up. I’ve set up a department specifically to handle medical tourism services. The group included two patients from Southeast Asia.”

“Patients from Southeast Asia?” Yang Ping was intrigued.

In recent years, with the development of the country, the medical level also improved. The proficiency of major surgeries was particularly superior to that in Southeast Asia.

In terms of medical standards, only Japan was more advanced than us in Asia. Other countries were far behind.

“At year-end, the department needs to relax a bit. I’ll arrange it. How about a good vacation for a few days?” Boss Cheng proactively suggested.

Doing business requires a continuous investment mindset. Investing in people and things, Yang Ping was an investment worth making, and it was best to make the investment early for maximum benefit.

“Boss Cheng, you’re too kind. The department already has plans for a year-end vacation,” Yang Ping declined tactfully. The Huang siblings had already arranged this.

Boss Cheng felt somewhat anxious, already arranged?

Did somebody outmaneuver him? He needed to ascertain the situation to make sure he wasn’t outsmarted by the competition behind the scenes.

Yang Ping is the strongest reinforcement for Li Quan Hospital. This was a known fact among the staff. The beautiful nurse at the front desk gave him a warm welcome.

“Professor Cheng! Dr. Yang!” Everyone greeted them sweetly. Some even stole glances at Yang Ping from time to time.

In the hospital, Cheng Liquan preferred to be called Professor rather than Boss by his employees.

“First, let’s go see the patients!” Yang Ping had a habit of visiting the patients before any surgery.

“They’re all waiting in the wards, and they want to see you in person before they’ll agree to go into the operating room.”

Boss Cheng was delighted. With the current trend of development, he feared that there would soon not be enough wards, but he had wisely reserved a whole floor in advance.

“Heard he’s still single?”

“With all his skills, he must have a girlfriend!”

“So what if he has a girlfriend? As long as he’s not married, there’s still a chance.”

“What are you all gossiping about during business hours!”@@novelbin@@

Several attractive nurses started chattering when they saw Yang Ping and Boss Cheng get into the elevator. The moment the head of service supervision appeared in the lounge, the nurses quickly straightened their backs, stopped talking, and pretended to work.

Yang Ping personally interviewed each patient, inquired about their medical history, examined them, and re-read their medical imagery, even though Boss Cheng had already forwarded all these documents to him. Better safe than sorry.

After seeing the patients, Yang Ping felt reassured: “Send in the patients, make sure to keep up the pace.”

Huang Jiahui had already prepared the surgical instruments, and Doctor Wan had been waiting in the operation room since early morning.

“Hey, Brother Yang!” Doctor Wan greeted him.

Doctor Wan heard that Yang Ping had successfully completed a complex quadruple reconstruction here and also served as the chief surgeon for Jiang Baicheng’s challenging shoulder surgery at the People’s Hospital.

With such excellent skills, he wanted to learn as much as possible from Yang Ping so that he could make money to buy a house and a car, get married, have kids, and settle down in G City. That was the taste of life. Doctor Wan was introduced by Yang Ping; Boss Cheng was happy to nurture him, and it was just a favor for Yang Ping.

Conducting nine operations, each taking an hour, he worked until nine in the evening.

Working for a full day, he ate a surgery meal at noon, and in the evening Boss Cheng invited him to a meal at a nearby hotel.

Boss Cheng was efficient. While Yang Ping was changing in the changing room, a surgery fee of 45,000 yuan had already been transferred into his account, and Yang Ping received a message about it on his phone.

Old Cheng was well-aware; any unsatisfactory aspect could affect their cooperation. A surgeon of Yang Ping’s caliber would undoubtedly attract many hospitals seeking collaboration.

“Received the surgery fee, thank you.”

Seeing the message on his phone, Yang Ping told Boss Cheng.

Boss Cheng cheerfully said, “You’re welcome. Let’s have a casual meal together. You’ve worked hard today, and we’ll need to trouble you more often in the future.”

“Don’t be polite, we’re all colleagues here. Feel free to order anything,” Yang Ping responded casually as he saw the respectful demeanor of Boss Cheng.

After changing, the two went out for dinner. Dean Cai was already waiting at the hotel. Dean Cai was Cheng Liquan’s subordinate and the head of Liquan Hospital, who usually helped Boss Cheng with daily management.

Boss Cheng casually mentioned: “Dr. Yang, we have a plan to provide a car for each specialist we cooperate with, and we intend to provide one for you as well. Do you have any preferred brands or models?”

A car? That’s a legitimate perk. Yang Ping saw no reason to be shy about it.

Performing surgeries was a mutually beneficial cooperation, and Old Cheng just wanted to provide good service for the specialists.

“You arrange it!” Yang Ping replied.

He didn’t specify the model because Boss Cheng didn’t mention a specific budget. The comment was just a heads-up that a car was on its way.

Just let it come! He could handle it. After all, you have to shear from the sheep’s back.

However, Old Cheng was indeed a good man and truly devoted to the hospital, and this was something Yang Ping valued the most.
