It was a few days before Tang Jin returned to work in Mayo.
As soon as he arrived at the office, he was summoned by his immediate superior.
"You took leave a few days ago to go to China?"
Tang Jin smelled something amiss, "Wherever I go is my own freedom. You seem to have no right to interfere!"
Seeing Tang Jin's tough tone, the boss' face turned ugly.
Mayo Center management has very little authority over lower-level doctors.
It sounds like a superior-subordinate relationship, but in fact it means mutual cooperation.
As for an expert like Tang Jin, his boss is more like a decoration and does not have much deterrence.
With Tang Jin's qualifications and reputation, he can get very high treatment from any hospital.
Instead, when he leaves, the team follows him.
After all, Tang Jin has patient resources in his hands and can bring stable income to the hospital every month.
Therefore, once Tang Jin changes jobs, it will cause huge losses to the hospital.
Unless something extraordinary is done, managers will not interfere too much with Don King's thoughts or actions.
Although there is a similar situation in China, the administrative department does not have strong control over department directors.
But doctors may be perfunctory with administrative staff, but their loyalty to the hospital is still relatively high.
Although they have received high-level professional titles and have no official staff, doctors have a strong sense of belonging to the hospital.
This is a difference brought about by culture.
The boss's name was Thomson. He picked up a Chinese newspaper from the table and threw it in front of Tang Jin.
"It's a good thing you did. You're now a household name."
Tang Jin picked up the Chinese newspaper and saw that it was all filled with square characters, but the picture was his own.
"I don't understand you!"
"The news that you refused to treat a boy with a brain tumor in China has spread to the country. Since last night, the hospital's website has been attacked. Official comments on social media accounts are all about you. They accuse you of making money. asshole."
Tang Jin couldn't believe it, with anger bursting out of his eyes, "These people really know how to meddle in their own business!"
Thomson's mouth showed a look of helplessness, "There were several Chinese patients who went through the transfer procedures this morning. They bring a considerable amount of income to the hospital every month. Your unauthorized action this time has caused a very bad impact on Mayo's image." impact. So I have to tell you that you will be fined divided by twenty thousand dollars."
Twenty thousand dollars is nothing to Tang Jin.
However, if the hospital issues a ticket to itself, it will affect its reputation.
Tang Jin took a deep breath and his tone became calm, "It's not fair to me to deal with it this way. I refused that patient because the operation was very risky, and there were great risks for me to handle it."
Thomson was in disbelief, "Don't you think the excuse you gave is particularly ridiculous? The patient was finally treated by a twenty-six-year-old emergency doctor."
Tang Jin emphasized with a serious expression, "Although that doctor is only twenty-six years old and registered for emergency surgery, his level of neurosurgery is definitely world-class."
Thomson burst into laughter, "Are you admitting now that his level is better than yours?"
Tang Jin nodded vigorously, "Yes! I can guarantee it with my own personality."
Thomson felt that Don King was acting rogue, "No matter how you explain it, we will fine you. This is the decision of the board of directors. Now we are informing you, not discussing with you."
Tang Jin smiled lightly, "No matter how you punish me, I have to show my attitude. Although that doctor is young, his skills are really good."
After finishing speaking, Tang Jin turned and left the office.
Thomson was so angry that he was shaking all over. He immediately called the administrative department and issued a punishment announcement. He also notified the financial department to impose a fine of 20,000 US dollars on Tang Jin.
Tang Jin returned to his office and opened his social platform.
He pondered for a moment and wrote a short article as a response to criticism of himself on social media.
“It was an unforgettable and terrible experience.
As everyone knows, I went to Huaguo Tianhua Hospital to participate in consultation activities with a very excited mood.
I thought this would end with a happy answer like any previous event.
However, things changed.
As soon as I arrived in Tianhua, I was attacked by a mother.
"Attack" may not be the right word.
What happened at that time was that she suddenly rushed towards me, and the bodyguard had a physical conflict with her in order to protect me.
I understood the condition of her child and conducted a detailed analysis of the child before leaving Mayo Clinic. This is an operation with only a 60% success rate.
I refused her request.
Then, things went down as we all know.
A young doctor from Tianhua performed the operation.
I watched the operation. This is definitely the most embarrassing yet particularly exciting energy I have experienced in my decades of medical practice.
Because that young Chinese genius conquered me with his perfect technique.
I left China in a state of embarrassment.
But I have full appreciation for that genius doctor.
He's definitely going to be a good guy.
He may even change the development of international neurosurgery! "
A large number of comments soon appeared below.
"Dr. Tang Jin, you actually excused yourself and made up such a lie."
"You are a top expert at Mayo Clinic, but you are not as good as a young doctor from Tianhua? I don't believe it at all."
"Let me give you some popular science. The young doctor Tang Jin mentioned is named Zhao Yuan.
Although his registered qualification is emergency surgery. But he is the champion of the China Youth Chest and Cardiac Competition and had two pulmonary artery dissection surgeries this year.
By the way, he performed knee surgery on basketball star Brad. Brad didn’t have to retire, thanks to him.
In addition, he has two academician masters. "
…
Zhao Yuan learned about this from Sun Liang and laughed it off.
Zhao Yuan did not expect that this incident would spread his name to the other side of the ocean.
Rather than having his name spread across the ocean, he is more concerned about the Mayo Center's announcement prohibiting doctors from the hospital from traveling abroad to participate in various medical activities without authorization.
In the long run, it is not a good thing for any industry to be overly dependent on other countries.
If you want to be strong, you still have to rely on yourself and keep making progress.
Nothing can be discussed for a lifetime.
There will be less controversy, the popularity will dissipate, and the video will eventually disappear.
However, Zhao Yuan knew that this incident would still play a positive role in improving the medical atmosphere in China.
Domestic hospitals will think of this before hiring foreign experts and ask, are foreign monks really better at chanting sutras?
There may still be hospitals that hire outside doctors to perform surgeries on domestic patients.
But when those patients and their families learn about this, they will more or less reflect on it!
Is it really worth spending several or even dozens of times the cost to hire foreign experts?
