In front of the clinic, Zhou Qinghe looked at the British doctor in front of him.
"Your name?"
"Made."
"Made?"
This name is so Chinese. If the pronunciation was not clear, Zhou Qinghe would have thought this guy was swearing.
"Dr. Mader, what is your position at St. Mary's Hospital?"
"Surgeon."
"Then he's not the surgical director of your hospital?"
"It's not true, but what does this have to do with you? For you, a Chinese, do I still need to be the director to question your ability?"
Zhou Qinghe thought for a while and shook his head: "That's not true. You come to question me because you are dissatisfied with the words 'unparalleled' in my newspaper. You feel that my medical skills are not that good, and your dignity has been affected." provocative."
Ma De glared and shouted: "Yes."
Zhou Qinghe nodded: "So if my medical skills are indeed unmatched, your dignity has not been challenged."
Ma De almost jumped out of his mouth, but he immediately held it back, no, why does this sentence sound so weird?
After thinking about it for a moment, he knew what the problem was.
The logic of this statement is correct, but for him, he is here to overturn this statement today and fight against falsehoods. Doesn't that mean he is wrong?
He can't be wrong.
He pointed a finger at Zhou Qinghe's chest and said word by word: "So it's not even the newspaper's exaggeration. Do you really think that your surgical skills are the best in the world?"
Bang, Zhou Qinghe slapped his hand away: "To be precise, my newspaper is published in the French Concession, so this sentence means that the French Concession is the best in the world."
Zhou Qinghe didn't want a bunch of doctors to come to his door and cause trouble to him.
As for the French Concession, provocations have come, so what if they are recognized? Wheel fighting is fine too, but there aren't many people there.
Ma De didn't expect Zhou Qinghe to reply like this and laughed angrily. He turned to his companion and said: "Oh, my God, even my teacher dare not say that his surgical skills are unparalleled. A Chinese... Dare you say in front of us that your skills are the best in the world?"
The Europeans and Americans who came with him let out a burst of exclamation and looked at Zhou Qinghe with ignorant and mocking eyes. This was in line with their stereotype of the Chinese, who are always stupid.
Of course, the anger of having one's dignity violated is also indispensable.
Ma De turned his head and scowled, pointed at Zhou Qinghe and said, "I now ask you to publish an apology in the newspaper, you ignorant and despicable Chinese!"
"Adding the word "despicable" will not show that you have noble moral character. On the contrary, if it turns out that my medical skills are better than yours, then who is the despicable one?
Forget it, I still have to open for business and I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you.
In fact, this matter is very simple. You can either find the person who is recognized as the best surgeon in the whole concession to question me, or you can go out and experience it yourself. We can have a competition and compete.
Of course, I need a little luck, otherwise if a doctor who is not even the chief of surgery questions me, I will have to deal with it, and I don't have that much time. "
Just when he was worried about the lack of customers, someone sent the steps. The advertising effect was good. Zhou Qinghe had no choice but to dig a hole for Brother Ma De.
St. Mary's Hospital is one of the best hospitals in the French Concession. If they stand on the shoulders of their surgeons, they can obviously save money on newspaper advertisements.
Zhou Qinghe now decided to stimulate him, Ma De must not run away.
It is simply humiliating to dwell on the word "Director of Surgery". Any surgeon at St. Mary's Hospital is better than any Chinese doctor.
Dignity cannot be challenged!
Ma De quickly said: "Okay, despicable Chinese, I will give you a chance. You can choose any surgery. We will compete in whatever you are good at. The bet is 1,000 US dollars. Do you dare to accept it? If not, just publish it in the newspaper and apologize to me." , and then get out of the rental area immediately!"
"1000?" Zhou Qinghe said in surprise.
Ma De chuckled: "You can't even afford 1,000, can you? You poor boy."
Zhou Qinghe snorted, shook his head and smiled: "That's not true, but if you can only afford 1,000, I don't think you should ask your director to come. 1,000, I really can't raise the interest in dealing with you."
"Handle?"
Ma De's nerves were stimulated by Zhou Qinghe's words again and again. He shouted in a deep voice: "You are very rich, right? How much can you say?"
Zhou Qingping said calmly: "Fifty thousand."
After Zhou Qinghe finished speaking, Ma De paused.
The people next to him also paused.
The smile faded slightly.
Fifty thousand is still a bit much.
In fact, one thousand is quite a lot, and that’s US dollars!
You can rent a master bedroom in the French Concession for thirty French coins.
"You won't have any money, right?" Zhou Qinghe frowned slightly and smiled strangely, and continued to stimulate him: "Your St. Mary's Hospital has been in the French Concession for so long, and you can't even earn 50,000 US dollars as a doctor?"
Are these human words? All the doctors were speechless.
The villas in the French Concession only cost 10,000 US dollars. How can 50,000 US dollars be so profitable? Living without spending money?
Why did Zhou Qinghe feel that Ma De was hesitant? Don't be afraid.
"Forget it if you don't have money. Leave quickly. Blocking the door is affecting my business. Just walk away."
Zhou Qinghe waved his hands to drive people away in disgust.
Mader felt his nerves pounding. This guy was so irritating.
He shouted with a dark face: "Do you think I can't tell if you refuse the bet by saying a high price?"
Zhou Qinghe responded with a chuckle: "Do you think your loud voice can hide the fact that you don't have the courage to accept the bet?"
"Okay!" Chinese passers-by applauded.
Ma De glared at him and said angrily: "Chinese, 50,000 US dollars, don't talk nonsense, do you have money?"
Zhou Qinghe responded: "As long as you can come up with money, you will see $50,000 within an hour."
The pressure is on Mader.
Mader has no money.
His face turned dark red, and he could only stare and pose.
He was absolutely confident that he would educate Chinese boys in surgical skills, but he was really short of money and uncomfortable.
Things have come to this point, and Europeans and Americans will never give up!
Mader is a surgeon with twelve years of experience. He has rich surgical experience. He is now in the prime of life. Even in St. Mary, Madder is one of the most powerful people. No matter how you look at it, it is impossible. lose.
The seven or eight colleagues who came with him spoke.
"Made, bet with him! I support you!"
"This despicable Chinese boy must be driven out of the rental area!"
"Yes, I support you, I will offer you $5,000."
"I'll also pay $5,000."
All of a sudden, it turned into a money-collection meeting. Zhou Qing and this despicable Chinese boy were outraged by the public. A bunch of people rushed their bidding numbers, and soon they were almost inseparable.
Ma De became more courageous and snorted: "I didn't expect it, Chinese, we collected 50,000 US dollars so quickly. Where is your money?"
"What you say doesn't count. Show me the real money."
Zhou Qinghe smiled: "I will get the money, and you will get the money too. Within an hour, whoever has no money will automatically lose. If I lose, I will publish an apology in the newspaper, and I will leave the concession."
If you lose, I'll be generous and don't need you to publish it in the newspaper. You can just bow and apologize to me at the entrance of St. Mary's Hospital. "
"Everyone, be a witness." Zhou Qinghe said loudly to the onlookers.
"Okay!" Look at the excitement, the atmosphere of this crowd is very lively.
Ma De glanced at the onlookers and sneered and left a message: "Wait for the apology to be published in the newspaper!"
"Okay, okay."
Zhou Qinghe nodded with a smile, he couldn't let fifty thousand dollars escape.
Doctors have high incomes these days because of high fees. Hospitals, especially those in concessions, have nothing to do with the poor. They only serve gringos and the wealthy minority in China. When they knock money, that's a bit of psychology. No burden at all.
After talking to Ma Qingqing, I went to the bank to withdraw U.S. dollars. Together with the 23,700 won in the room, I collected 50,000 U.S. dollars.
There are a total of 5,000 ten-yuan notes, and there are 100 in a stack, so there are 50 stacks, which is a very considerable amount.
Naturally, Europeans and Americans would not admit defeat. Everyone returned to the clinic entrance almost at the same time to check that there was no problem with the money. Only then did everyone remember that they had not yet decided which subject to compete.
Ma De is not stupid. After all, it is a big bet of fifty thousand dollars. We have already discussed it on the way and go directly to the highest difficulty.
Combined thoracoabdominal injury!
And in order to stimulate Zhou Qinghe to take on this extremely difficult test subject.
Ma De had already ridiculed: "Chinese, you have never had a combined thoracoabdominal injury, right? If you don't, just say, as long as you admit defeat, I can allow you to go to St. Mary's Hospital to be my assistant. I’ll teach you how to perform breast surgery.”
Alas, Zhou Qinghe could only sigh and choose subjects in the fields he was most familiar with. This was really an old man who was fed up with arsenic.
Mad, you're so damn unlucky.
"Thoracoabdominal combination is fine, but where do the patients come from?"
Combined thoracoabdominal injuries are not ordinary surgeries, and elective surgeries can be made up of two. This kind of patient will be gone soon.
This question made Ma De startled. He just looked at the problem and really didn't think about the source of the disease.
I definitely can't wait. How long will it take to wait for two joint injuries to the thorax and abdomen? The competition cannot wait for a year and a half.
"I'll think of a solution, but I can't believe that I've searched all the hospitals in Shanghai and still can't find two patients with combined thoracoabdominal injuries!"
Mader clearly wasn't ready to give up.
St. Mary's Hospital is worthy of being the best hospital in the French Concession, and Mader really found it.
However, the next question immediately came up.
Office of the Director.
Mader explained the bet to Thomas, the chief of surgery.
Frenchman Thomas obviously doesn't think this is a romantic thing.
"Made, this is a hospital, not a casino. We can't risk the reputation of our hospital to the Chinese. What if the patient is killed? This is a harm to the reputation of our hospital."
"Thomas, if he is allowed to be publicized in newspapers, isn't this damaging the reputation of our hospital? Are you asking me to admit defeat? Are you asking me to apologize to him at the entrance of the hospital? So many people have seen it, do you think I'm just a turtle? Hiding? No, that’s absolutely not okay!”
Now that the matter has come to this, Ma De is arguing that this bet must go ahead!
It's not just a matter of reputation, it's $50,000.
Thomas thought about it carefully and realized that this made sense. Mader represented the hospital and obviously could not admit his mistake.
And Ma De's skills are indeed superb, so there is nothing to worry about.
"I can promise you, but for Chinese surgeries, someone must be arranged to supervise them. If something goes wrong, they must take over in time."
"certainly."
Mader convinced Thomas and the operation, which cost a lot of money, was carried out smoothly.
The patient was pushed into the operating room, the operating light came on, and at the same time, the news spread rapidly through word of mouth in the French Concession.
Chinese doctors versus Dr. Mader from St. Mary's Hospital!
In the French Concession, people may not know about Madre, but it is impossible not to know about Sainte-Marie.
It was the best hospital, and today, a Chinese doctor actually challenged it, with a heavy bet of US$50,000.
For a time, many passers-by and reporters gathered outside the hospital to watch the excitement, waiting for the result of a duel.
And the French aunt was already messy in the wind.
No, she took the money!
A big thing has been reduced to a trivial matter, and this matter can still be hidden.
Now, once the Chinese lose and are about to be kicked out of the rental industry, will these reporters who love to watch the excitement find out who the Chinese doctor's sponsor is and directly implicate her?
After all, the sponsors are all celebrities in theory, so this is a good time to watch celebrity jokes.
Why did she become Zhou Qinghe's guarantor!
It's really hard to collect money.
Auntie stood in the crowd for a while, waiting for the result. She believed that among the people standing here, she was the one who wanted Zhou Qinghe to win the most.
If she wins, she has a discerning eye. Even if she is found to be Zhou Qinghe's guarantor, what's the problem?
Just say that we have known each other before, and I believe that the young man will never let it slip.
But is it possible?
Auntie doesn't have any hope.
Just as she was thinking about it, the French aunt saw her superior, the Director of the Medical Department of the Public Board of Directors, getting out of the car with a director of the Public Board of Directors. She suddenly shrank her head and watched them go upstairs.
"Hey, Thomas." The French section chief and French director of the public affairs bureau entered the office of the chief of surgery.
"I heard that you have a huge gambling game here? I'll accompany the director to watch the excitement.
When it's over, ask the directors to hold a press conference for outside reporters to publicize the recent achievements of your St. Mary's Hospital and commend you for your contributions to the medical cause. "
There was a lot of chatting and laughing in the office for a while.
The smile disappeared two hours later, and the doctor supervising Zhou Qinghe's surgery hurried in.
terrible!
It’s incredible!
The doctor swore that he had never seen such a good doctor perform surgery so quickly.
Trouble, Mader is really in trouble now, that's fifty thousand dollars.
He went to see Mader's room. The operation was only half done, and it was still early to end. Whether it would be successful or not was unknown, let alone whether the postoperative effect would be good or not.
As for Zhou Qinghe, he saw it with his own eyes and could confirm that what Zhou Qinghe did was impeccable!
This matter must be reported immediately.
When he opened the door, he saw that in addition to the director, there were actually two important people there, and they were from the public management bureau. He was stunned in place with his mouth open.
Thomas saw that the person coming was the doctor who arranged the supervision. He looked at his watch and asked strangely: "Why did you come out so quickly?"
For a combined thoracoabdominal surgery, four or five hours would be considered quick, but this was only two hours.
The supervising doctor gritted his teeth and directly told the whole story. Anyway, if the sky fell, there would be people with high official positions to hold it up.
"This Chinese doctor's surgical skills are really strong, beyond my imagination. Sometimes I can't understand why he does what he does."
"But when I looked at it, I realized that he was doing the right thing."
The room was quiet for a while, there was no chatter and laughter, and the atmosphere even became a little depressing.
No one spoke.
It was the director of the public board of directors who spoke first.
"Are you planning for me to announce to the outside world that our doctor at St. Mary's Hospital was outperformed by a Chinese? You are planning for me to say this to outside reporters, right?"
Zhou Qinghe waited in the lounge outside after the operation.
He hoped that Ma De would do it quickly, after all, he had something to do at night.
It's almost four o'clock now, and there is going to be some movement on Zeng Haifeng's side.
Once the operation starts, if something unexpected happens, the team members will not be able to contact him, and it is easy to get into trouble.
After waiting and waiting until four o'clock, he couldn't wait any longer.
He pushed open the door of Mader's operating room and walked in.
The operation was halfway through, and judging from Mader's skills, it would still be at least an hour and a half before it was over.
Ma De was surprised to see him: "If you don't do your own surgery, why are you here? Don't tell me that people were killed by you."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course I'm done."
"Impossible!" Mader was shocked, "How could you do it so fast?"
"Because I'm skilled." Zhou Qinghe smiled, glanced at the patient on the operating table and said, "You can go next door and have a look. If you don't mind, leave the surgery to me. I'm in a hurry and I'm hungry."
How could Mader give him the patient?
But he was curious.
"Don't move around. I'll go take a look. Just hold still."
Ma De had to take a look, otherwise his mood would be disturbed.
When he goes out, Zhou Qinghe will take over. As for the nurse, that's easy to handle.
"I put people to death and I went to jail. Obviously, you won't be implicated, right, beautiful nurse lady."
The French nurse was hesitant and didn't dare, but Zhou Qing and the original nurse in the room watched the whole process.
Zhou Qinghe started to take over, and when Ma De came back, the progress was already rapid.
But Ma De didn't say a word, and watched Zhou Qinghe perform the operation with a sullen face.
Zhou Qinghe didn't mind teaching him a few tricks, after all, he spent $50,000.
As you do it, explain to him why you do it.
Even this is much faster than what Ma De did.
Ma De dared to refute even a word, even if what Zhou Qinghe sometimes said was inconsistent with what was stated in the textbook and his clinical experience.
But facts have proven that what Zhou Qinghe plans to do can always be verified in the next step.
In 40 minutes, the operation that should have taken at least an hour and a half was completed successfully.
Zhou Qinghe put the knife on the plate.
"Okay, let's do the finishing touches."
Zhou Qinghe smiled at Ma De: "Doctor Ma De, are you willing to admit defeat? I'm in a hurry."
Ma De swallowed his saliva. He had been avoiding this question just now, but now Zhou Qinghe was opposite him, looking directly at him, and finally had no way to retreat.
"You win, I admit defeat, the money is yours."
"Thanks."
He still has character. Zhou Qinghe thinks Dr. Ma De is quite good. Arrogance is not a problem, as long as he is willing to admit defeat.
Ma De and Zhou Qinghe walked out of the operating room. Outside the door, Thomas stood there.
He quickly asked: "How is it?"
Mad nodded: "The operation was successful."
"Okay." Thomas smiled very happily: "Mad, then you are the winner."
"What?"
Ma De was surprised when he saw Thomas looking at Zhou Qinghe, his expression turning cold.
"This Chinese doctor, you did it very quickly and your surgical skills are very high.
But you made a big mistake because you were impatient. You actually left a ball of gauze inside the patient's body. Now because of your stupidity, the patient has been pushed back into the operating room and has to undergo a second operation. "
