Chapter 1166: Chapter 460: Key Points for Hospital Revenue Generation, Girls Should Learn to Protect Themselves (2)

Small hospitals are limited in equipment, talent, and consumables, and they certainly can’t afford losses.

From the aforementioned revenue-generating issues, one can’t see how difficult it is for the hospital to want him to generate revenue.

For patients with insurance, there are limits on insurance coverage and medication expenditures. For those without insurance, or those with low reimbursement rates under new rural cooperative medical care, you must sympathize with patients and try to compress treatment costs down to the minimum.

It’s safe to say that hospitals find it quite challenging to make money.

If a hospital can become a leading institution, even in a particular medical field, revenue generation takes on a new meaning.

This is the main reason why the Third Hospital, Xinxiang Hospital, and even the Provincial People’s Hospital are all vying for the cardiothoracic surgery field.

As long as there’s a sliver of opportunity, the major hospitals will compete for any extra ’cake’ like hungry sharks.

Vice President Zhang of the Third Hospital personally came to recruit Zhou Can, valuing Zhou Can’s formidable revenue-generating ability and immense potential.

"What do you think? Dr. Zhou, you might want to consider carefully. Although your development at Tuya is not bad, it’s certainly far inferior compared to the terms offered by our Third Hospital. Whether in terms of income, academic advancement, or future growth opportunities, our Third Hospital can provide the best."

Vice President Zhang saw that Zhou Can didn’t immediately refuse and thought there was a chance.

Thus, he continued to persuade Zhou Can tirelessly.

"Sorry, no matter how tempting your offer might be, I haven’t thought of leaving Tuya Hospital. Instead, you might need to leave immediately."

Zhou Can shrugged.

His gaze turned to the distance, seeing two security guards approaching quickly.

"Sir, please leave our hospital immediately."

"Tuya Hospital is a public hospital; this should be a public area. I haven’t done anything illegal, so why are you kicking me out?"

Vice President Zhang looked calm in the face of the security’s eviction.

"Because you’re suspected of poaching our hospital’s doctors, which violates hospital regulations and is highly unethical. Please leave!"

Tuya’s security had just undergone a comprehensive renovation, and the newly recruited guards were highly qualified.

If Director Mi were still in charge, he might have directly beat up Zhang Mingxing.

Vice President Zhang was indeed fearless, poaching right within the hospital, surely heard by someone who reported it to department leaders. Then they called security to eject him.

"Dr. Zhou, consider my proposal seriously. Goodbye for now."

Vice President Zhang glanced deeply at Zhou Can, unwilling but had to leave temporarily.

Zhou Can said nothing.

Being headhunted is a form of honor. Only those with ability get recruited and remembered.

In such cases, all you have to do is refuse.

He went straight to the ward for rounds without any impact.

It’s not his first time being poached anyway.

Consider it just a small episode in an otherwise heavy workload.

When he arrived at the inpatient ward, many patients recognized him. For those who didn’t, they heard praises about Zhou Can from other family members and patients. Hence, everyone treated Zhou Can with respect.

In the minds of most family members and patients, doctors are the most important, while nurses are considered peripheral.

This is actually unfair and discriminatory against nurses.

Operations, diagnoses, prescriptions, and treatment plans are indeed the doctor’s responsibility. But daily patient management primarily relies on nurses.

Doctors conduct two rounds a day, considered very diligent.

Nurses run across the ward countless times a day, always monitoring patients’ conditions. If anything abnormal arises, they inform the responsible doctor immediately for intervention.

Patients purely think nurses just give injections and change meds, which misunderstands and belittles the profession.

Even today, such beliefs are deeply entrenched.

Especially domestically, nurses’ status is low both in hospitals and in the minds of patients and their families. Their income is only reasonable but compared to genuinely high-earning doctors, the disparity is significant.

Moreover, no matter how much effort is made, income is difficult to increase further.

Doctors are different; they become more valued with experience.

Women fear marrying the wrong man, and men fear choosing the wrong profession. If there’s an option, some work may offer better prospects.

Zhou Can reviewed each hospital bed. When a family member or patient greeted him, he warmly nodded and responded.

"Dr. Zhou, thank you for saving my daughter today. Thank you! I almost died of fright back then, you know?"

The young female patient with an ectopic pregnancy continued inpatient treatment after surgery.

"Don’t mention it! Treating patients is indeed my duty."

Zhou Can waved with a smile, his eyes turning to the young patient receiving an IV drip on the bed.

Pregnant at just over eighteen showed that many girls in our country still lack comprehensive sexual education. Many parents feel it inappropriate for children to be exposed to sexual knowledge too early.

This results in girls not knowing how to protect themselves.

The ectopic pregnancy had a profound impact on this girl.

Fortunately, she encountered Zhou Can, whose medical skills were excellent. Otherwise, even if she survived, she might face the severe consequence of permanent infertility.

"How are you feeling? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"

Zhou Can asked the young patient.

"I just feel the surgical wound hurts a bit, and I’m still slightly dizzy."

The patient’s complexion remained pale, but her lips had gained some color, looking less alarming.

"Wound pain after surgery is normal; it’ll be much better in three or four days." Zhou Can finished answering, then turned to the woman’s mother. "Pull the curtain over; I’ll check her wound."

Once the curtain was drawn, Zhou Can uncovered the girl’s blanket and lifted her clothes.

Carefully inspecting the wound, it looked fine.

The young patient appeared very shy, somewhat embarrassed.

Fortunately, Zhou Can was considerate of her feelings and simply checked her once, then reattached the bandage, adjusted her clothes, and covered the blanket.

"You can open the curtain now; the wound looks fine for now."

While speaking, Zhou Can took the nurse’s recorded vital signs data, including temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure.

"Have you urinated yet?"

"Yes, once! It hurts a bit. My mom says there’s blood in it."

"Okay, let’s see tomorrow. If there’s no internal bleeding post-recovery, tomorrow’s urine should be normal. You can drink some water moderately, and try to keep your diet light."

After reviewing the nursing records, Zhou Can felt confident in the young patient’s recovery.

"Dr. Zhou, will there be a scar on my daughter’s stomach?"

The girl’s experienced mother knew what surgery marks like those from a cesarean section would mean for an unmarried girl.

After marriage, it’s easy to be disregarded by the husband.

No husband wants to marry a wife who’s been pregnant by another man.

Therefore, girls must cherish themselves before marriage. Otherwise, they end up hurting themselves, and this devaluation is lifelong.

It can also easily become a trigger for post-marriage conflict.

Whenever the husband sees the scar, he feels a thorn inside, which relates to human nature rather than love or tolerance.

It’s like buying a luxury item at a high price only to discover it’s pre-used; you’d inevitably want to return it.

The surgery mark on this girl would "devalue" her.

"A scar will definitely be there, but I performed scarless suturing. As long as she takes proper care, and her recovery goes well, the scar will fade significantly over two to three years. Considering her young age, it shouldn’t affect her future married life too much. But don’t be overly optimistic; some mental preparation is still needed."

Zhou Can couldn’t say certain things outright.

If the girl’s mother thought the scar was hard to notice and decided to hide it from her future husband, that might not work.

It could sow the seeds for greater misfortune.

"Thank you!"

The girl’s mother was immensely grateful to Zhou Can.

Had it not been for Zhou Can’s sharp observation that her daughter might be having massive bleeding, she couldn’t imagine the consequences.

The girl on the hospital bed silently shed tears.

She seemed quite pitiable.

"Do comfort your daughter! I need to check the next bed."

Zhou Can wasn’t good at comforting female patients.
