Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 529 - 414: Sun Xinxin’s Junior Apprentice Sister — The Desperate Cancer Girl
The next day.
Nine o’clock in the morning.
After the morning meeting and ward rounds, Zhao Heng returned to his office. Since Ma Xiaochen’s treatment started showing effects, the busyness during this period could be considered to have come to an end.
To be honest, during this time, Zhao Heng somewhat felt that he might have been too rushed. In a short period, he accomplished what others might not achieve in years.
The upcoming time could be slowed down, allowing for some contemplation and careful thinking about future plans and development.
Regarding business capabilities, Zhao Heng could now be said to have hit a bottleneck. After all, the resources at Eastern Hospital have been almost fully utilized by him.
As for other hospitals and doctors in the country, in modern medicine, the level is actually similar. Even if Zhao Heng visited other hospitals, it would be roughly the same.
So, perhaps the next step would be to focus on opportunities abroad.
For example, in fields such as gene editing, percutaneous mitral and tricuspid valve replacement surgery, robotic surgical innovation, high-tech helmet visors for stroke patients outside the hospital, vr technology combined with medicine, 3D printing technology for producing customized patient products, cancer immunotherapy, acute stroke treatment and rehabilitation, medical AI diagnostic technology, and alternative pain therapy.
These technologies are still in the initial stages domestically, but abroad they are relatively mature and have been practically used in clinical settings.
If development proceeds normally, these technological fields would require at least five to ten years to catch up with levels seen internationally.
But with Zhao Heng’s systematic approach, it’s possible to greatly shorten the development time of these crucial medical technologies.
Every bit of progress in these technical fields is built on massive research investment and expenditure.
Domestically, although there is the advantage of a large medical base, the level of manual surgery can be considered top-notch globally.
But development in fields that require high technical support from various disciplines, like genetic engineering, bio-pharmaceuticals, and medical robotics, is not so satisfactory.
After all, the development and accumulation of technology need time, and it’s not something that can be easily caught up.
While Zhao Heng was contemplating, someone walked into his office from outside.
"Dr. Zhao?"
The visitor knocked on the door and softly spoke.
Zhao Heng looked up and saw that unexpectedly, the visitor was Sun Xinxin.
Speaking about Sun Xinxin, because her recovery was good, she had been discharged and was now in the stage of recuperating at home.
This Sun Xinxin, why wasn’t she recuperating properly at home and instead came to the hospital?
Could it be that her condition had relapsed?
With this thought, Zhao Heng stood up, welcomed Sun Xinxin inside, and had her sit on the sofa.
"Dr. Zhao, I hope I’m not disturbing you? No, I should be calling you Director Zhao now."
Sun Xinxin sat on the sofa, smiled at Zhao Heng, and spoke.
Zhao Heng was appointed deputy director after she was discharged.
"It’s not a disturbance at all. How have you been recovering lately? Have any other symptoms appeared?"
Zhao Heng asked with genuine concern.
In his view, Sun Xinxin coming to see him could only mean that her condition had relapsed or her recovery was not smooth, leading to other symptoms.
However, looking at Sun Xinxin now, she seemed to be in good spirits with a healthy complexion, not like someone whose condition had relapsed.
"I’m recovering very well."
Sun Xinxin saw Zhao Heng’s concerned expression, smiled and waved her hand as she replied.
Meeting a doctor like Zhao Heng could be counted as a lifetime fortune for Sun Xinxin.
"Don’t be too anxious; you should at least wait six months before considering resuming training."
Zhao Heng thought Sun Xinxin was here to inquire about when she could resume training, since she often consulted him on this matter after her discharge.
As a world-class champion skier, Sun Xinxin naturally wanted to recover soon and return to training, re-entering the world arena. Athletes have a career peak lasting only a few years.
Moreover, the Winter Olympics aren’t held annually, and for a top skier, participating in two rounds during their career is already quite good.
The sports industry is quite harsh; there are only a few spots for world competitions, yet thousands pursue this discipline, and many, despite their talent, remain within the national or even provincial teams for various reasons.
So, even if Sun Xinxin can resume training and recover to a level suitable for world competitions, she might only participate in one more Winter Olympics, which explains her prior urgency.
"Dr. Zhao, I know, I can’t rush it."
Sun Xinxin nodded and said.
"Then, what brings you here?"
Zhao Heng wondered, since it wasn’t about her condition. Why else would she be here?
Surely it wasn’t just for old times’ sake?
"Dr. Zhao, I’m wondering how proficient you are in orthopedics?"
Sun Xinxin didn’t delay and directly asked.
Having spent time in the hospital, she had become quite familiar with Zhao Heng.
"Orthopedics? It’s alright, what’s going on?"
Zhao Heng was a bit taken aback by Sun Xinxin’s question but continued.
Technically, he can now be said to have mastered all fields from Eastern Hospital’s doctors; there isn’t a specialty he isn’t skilled in.
