Chapter 300: How Many (Ask for Subscription)
After Huang Zhenfu left, Koji Kimura couldn't help but ask, "Many patients' surgeries are delayed?"
"Yes, as I told you just now, a small number of patients' surgeries are scheduled for a month. Anyway, our department has a never-ending operation and a never-ending overtime. Zhu Yongchang sighed and said.
"Is your department understaffed, or is there not enough hospital beds?" asked Koji Kimura curiously.
"There are not enough people, and there are not enough hospital beds! Our department is an independent department, specifically for treating CTO patients. There are four teams in our department, me, two deputy directors, and one attending officer. I do 4 surgeries a day, 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. The same is true for the other three groups. We do about 16 surgeries a day, but that's not as much as the constant influx of patients. Sometimes as many as 50 patients come in a day! The hospital bed is never empty!" Zhu Yongchang said.
"In other words, now your department has more than 400 or 500 surgeries, and there are 4500 patients waiting for you to operate?"
"You can say that, but you can't say it, there are still some patients who can't make an appointment, you also know that we are the largest hospital in China, and many patients can't get my expert number. The scalpers outside sold my consultation number for 10,000 yuan. Zhu Yongchang explained.
Also, there are generally big directors, experts, and professors like him. You don't need to go to work on Saturdays and Sundays.
But he has given up his vacation, choosing to go to work on Saturdays and Sundays, and only giving himself 2 days off every month.
Every week, Monday to Friday, I sit in the morning, operate in the afternoon, and do at least four surgeries every night, at least every day.
This kind of CTO surgery is extremely difficult, often taking 2 or 3 hours for each operation, and even 4 or 5 hours for the very tricky ones. It takes at least 8~10 hours a day to do four units, and sometimes it takes more than 10 hours a day.
To be honest, he is now in his 60s, and his body is gradually getting a little unbearable, so now he has 4 surgeries every day when he is in good shape, and he mainly sits in more clinics if he is not in good condition.
"They can go to other hospitals!" Koji Kimura was stunned.
Do you have to hang yourself from a tree?
"The situation is similar to that of other big hospitals, especially for this kind of CTO condition, only a small number of large hospitals in China dare to do it and do it well! In particular, our hospital is the first comprehensive hospital in China, so those who have money and power are basically rushing to big hospitals! Of course, there is also a large population base in China, and there are many CTO patients in China. Unlike your island country, which has a small population base, the total number of patients is also small. ”
"That's right. Koji Kimura nodded.
He seems to have read a report a few years ago that the 4,300 beds in Jianxi Hospital here have nearly 10,000 employees, but the world's largest hospital has 10,000 beds and more than 10,000 employees.
What's more, there are some large hospitals that have more beds than the number of workers! Some large hospitals with more than 6,000 beds have only four or five thousand staff members! What does this mean?
It is even more distressing to compare it with foreign hospitals. The number of beds in some Huaxia hospitals is usually several times that of Mayo Clinic and Massachusetts General Hospital, but the number of employees is often less than one-tenth of these hospitals.
Massachusetts General Hospital, number of beds: 900, outpatient volume (10,000) 160, number of employees: 24,877
Mayo Clinic, number of beds: 1,243, outpatient volume (10,000) 131, number of employees: 64,000
Johns Hopkins Hospital, number of beds: 998, number of employees: 41,000
Through the comparison of the number of beds and the number of employees in these top foreign hospitals, it is not difficult to see what kind of high risk and high pressure the medical staff in China are under, so it is common to work overtime and rotate continuously.
Of course, it is not easy for patients in Europe and the United States to see a doctor, and many patients need months and half a year to make an appointment, and it is estimated that you will burp by then.
"You're great!" said Koji Kimura after a moment of silence.
"Come on, don't blow it to each other, you can set up a surgical team when you arrive, which can help me relieve some of the pressure! Today, our department will strive to do 25 surgeries, otherwise we will really not be able to squeeze out time to operate on the father of the family just now!" Zhu Yongchang sighed and said.
Tonight, it is estimated that I will have to work overtime until 11 o'clock in the evening! There is still a surgical team from Koji Ranch to help.
"25 units, it's not easy!" Koji Kimura frowned.
It's too hard!
It's desperate!
At this moment, Director Zhao came up.
"Director, when I was doing my ward rounds just now, I found that the condition of 8 patients was very unstable, and it is estimated that I will have to have surgery today, otherwise I am afraid that there will be problems at any time!" Deputy Director Zhao told Zhu Yongchang the bad news.
"What? oh......" Zhu Yongchang rubbed his temples and had a headache.
Proof of having to do 33 surgeries today?
With the addition of Koji Kimura's new team, there are five teams, and each team will have to perform at least 6 or 7 surgeries!
"Even if it is a team of 6 surgeries, it will take 18 hours to do 18 hours without resting, eating, or going to the toilet......
Koji Kimura didn't know whether he was envious or lucky when he heard this.
On the one hand, he is envious of the fact that there are so many surgeries that can be done, and that they have significant clinical experience in improving their level and researching new procedures.
I am fortunate to have so many patients waiting for surgery, and it is estimated that they are so busy every day that they have become surgical robots.
I'm so tired!
It's so hard!
Today's task is probably difficult to complete.
"Why don't I find someone to help?" Koji Kimura suddenly remembered Ruan Bin, who seemed to be resting today.
With him on board, it should be able to help a lot.
A sixth surgical team can be formed!
That's it......
"Who?" asked Zhu Yongchang curiously.
Could it be that the members of the Asian CTO club are still idle here in Beijing?
"His name is Ruan Bin, a doctor at the First Affiliated Hospital of Modu, and he was invited to join the Asian CTO Club, but unfortunately he is still thinking about it. Now he's in your hospital participating in a new surgical study of an intracranial aneurysm. He's resting today, and I'll ask him if he can help!" said Koji Kimura.
"Ruan Bin, this name is a little familiar!" Zhu Yongchang frowned.
"Some time ago, he invented a new CTO operation, but this new operation has very high requirements for doctors' surgical operations and is difficult to promote, but this new operation is really an eye-opener for us, and many people are full of praise. Koji Kimura said.
"Oh, it's him, I've seen the video of his surgery! Zhu Yongchang said happily.
"Okay, I'll call and ask. ”
Soon, the phone was connected.
At this time, Ruan Bin had just finished breakfast and was about to go out for a walk.
"Professor Kimura, what are you looking for me?" he was a little surprised to see the call.
Isn't this guy at work?
"Ruan-san, I have something I want to ask you for help with......" Then Koji Kimura told him about the matter here.
"Lack of manpower?" Ruan Bin was stunned.
To be honest, there has always been a shortage of high-level doctors in China.
As a result, many doctors are working overtime.
Overworked.
There are many reports on the news that a doctor in a certain hospital was paralyzed in the operating room, in the corridor, and in the elevator after more than ten hours of high-intensity operation......
I feel distressed, but I can't do anything!
"Okay, I'll go over now. Ruan Bin said.
Since he asked for it, it was the doctor from the Beijing Union Hospital, and he didn't mind helping.
"Ding-dong...... Temporary task of the system: save the suffering peers, the operation can break through 20 today, and reward the lottery chance!"
"Yo, and the quest was triggered?" Ruan Bin exclaimed.
"It looks like I'm going to have a liver burst today!"
Ten minutes later.
Ruan Bin met with Koji Kimura and Zhu Yongchang and others.
After introducing each other and blowing about each other, Zhu Yongchang and the others were still shocked, because Ruan Bin was too young!
"How many surgeries?" asked Ruan Bin.
"Oh, there are a total of 33 surgeries to be done today, the task is very arduous, and it will be really hard for you at that time, Dr. Ruan. Zhu Yongchang was a little embarrassed. It's a bit embarrassing to bring people to work as coolies.
"No, I mean to keep a few units~" Ruan Bin explained.
All:???
"What do you mean?" Zhu Yongchang looked confused.
Still don't get it?
"I mean, I'm going to leave you a few surgeries for you to do. Ruan Bin said lightly.
