"Anything wrong?"
The moment the family heard his identity, far from showing any respect, their attitude turned icily cold.
Lian Tao felt a moment of depression—what kind of guardian angels are these family members?
Could it be that a chief physician from a people's hospital is no better than a small clinic doctor?
"Here's the situation: I just returned to the country today, and after reviewing your child's medical records and examination data at the hospital, could you please bring your child over to the hospital? I'll personally arrange a bed for you and conduct some additional tests as soon as possible to clarify the cause of the illness."
Lian Tao hesitated to make any bold promises.
Encountering such difficult cases, no doctor dares to brag.
Unless you're a novice.
"No need, we're almost cured."
After saying that, the family directly hung up the phone.
Lian Tao nearly found himself following in Director Yang's footsteps, being angered to illness.
However, after the initial burst of anger, he quickly calmed down.
The family was discharged two days ago, could the child's illness really be cured so quickly? Absolutely impossible.
For a diarrhea case lasting over a month, even the best 'miracle drugs' couldn't cure it in two days.
After intestinal damage, recovery is a long process.
"Director Lian, don't bother with this patient anymore, they've already discharged on their own. This child's family is extremely difficult to deal with," the young doctor advised beside him.
With great difficulty, a valued general has returned; they really don't want Director Lian to be angered to illness as well.
If the senior chief physician collapses, the pressure will entirely fall on attending physicians, residents, and interns.
In a department, the more outstanding chief physicians, the better.
In emergencies, when the chiefs step in, they can instantly suppress the illness.
Otherwise, with only attending physicians leading residents and a bunch of interns salvaging patients, the pressure is unimaginable.
"I'm just afraid this family has been deceived by those small clinics. This infant is only seven months old, with such severe diarrhea and a course exceeding a month, what medicine can cure in two days? It's going against all my medical understanding. No, I must advise the family; it's best they come to our hospital for proper treatment."
Director Lian's conceited attitude is quite common in the major hospitals.
You boasting about some small clinic's medical skills in front of big hospital doctors? They'll surely look at you with contempt.
Although some retired doctors from big hospitals choose to open clinics, inadvertently raising the standard of clinic diagnoses, in most people's minds, clinics are still synonymous with unscrupulousness, money traps, only selling IVs and health supplements.
In fact, if retired doctors from large hospitals have real skills, they are generally rehired by hospitals.
Those who end up opening clinics, to put it nicely, are "utilizing residual heat"; realistically, they have no choice.
Rather than idle, it's better to open a clinic and earn some money, providing better financial support for their descendants.
Unrelenting, Director Lian called the family again.
After connecting, before he could speak, the baby's grandmother began scolding, "Why is your people's hospital so annoying? Your abilities are inferior to those small clinics, yet every day you think of ways to cheat us common folks out of money. Don't call again, or I'll lodge a complaint against you."
