Chapter 038 Acceptance problem
…
One week later… Friday
Today is supposed to be the day that Sung Jisoo would be introduced to the board before she would start working. She is to observe the hospital for a day so that she would become a bit familiar with the ropes.
For the whole week, she has already visited Doctor Pan's office for a couple of days and has memorized a lot of medical jargon from the textbook and medical papers. This is to brush her knowledge when it comes to modern medicine.
According to the information she has gotten from Director Pan, although she is a genius when it comes to medicine and all, she still needed the know-how to do the other things like consultation, prescription, and talking to patients.
She soon learned that being a doctor in this place is also like in her old world. One should be caring and persistent when it comes to talking to patients.
But she also knows one thing, not all patients tell the truth.
Many would hide their true condition in fear or anxiousness about something. Hence, it is her job to determine the truth from their words according to their condition. But of course, that is not needed when it comes to her as she could use her unique eyes to scan their body fully.
In the past week, she has learned a lot of things by observing the hospital and she knew that she is ready to work in this place.
Inside a large conference room, head doctors and nurses are currently in a meeting. Director Pan and some of the board members of Vie Doctor's hospital are seated while a person is currently reporting in the front.
Soon the man finished his reports and then directed his attention at Director Pan.
In the hospital, Director Pan is the Medical Director and all the doctors in the hospital are under him.
But of course, before a doctor could enter the hospital, they would be introduced to the board first for introduction and a bit of questioning.
As Director Pan walks to the front, he showed a big smile on his face.
When the people saw this, they all showed curiosity in their eyes.
"It seems that Director Pan is happy about something… Did the hospital hire a new specialist?"
"With that smile, I know that something good has happened…"
"That old man might have to stumble to another genius… He would always smile like that… Remember when he recruited that genius surgeon? He is also showing such a smile back then…"
"Yes, I remember that… Now Doctor Vince is now one of the aces of our hospital… I wonder who it is this time."
Besides the voices of astonishment, curiosity, and admiration, there are also those that are grumbling on the side.
"This Eugene Pan is getting ahead of himself… he thinks that he is all that, just because he was able to recruit a genius doctor…" someone grumbled in a low voice on the side.
Two other doctors nodded their heads beside him.
There is a trace of bitterness in their eyes as they seem to hold a grudge against him.
The leader of these doctors is Senya Ji. She is a senior doctor in the hospital gunning the position of Doctor Pan. For many years now, the two have been at odds with one another and have been competing for the position of Medical Director.
But she would always lose, hence she seem to bore a grudge at Director Pan.
After some light introduction, Director Pan then directly comes to the point of his topic and goal.
"As many of you have assumed… I am here to introduce to everyone a new doctor that would be entering our hospital…" he said.
When he said those words everyone looks at each other in disbelief and a tinge of excitement. A doctor personally introduced by Director Pan is no ordinary doctor.
Senya Ji suddenly clenches her fist in agitation and knew that the old man has bested her again. She has been looking for a doctor with excellent results, but after her search, she was only able to find one, and that person did not even live up to her expectations.
Genius doctors are truly a dime a dozen.
But now, this Eugene Pan could actually find another one. She immediately thought that life is really unfair.
As she glares at Director Pan, he just showed a faint smile on his face as his eyes brushed at her.
"Before I show you who this person is, let me show you a video…" he said as he nodded his head.
The overhead projector suddenly displayed one of the recordings of the hospital medical research file.
The file is dubbed Diabetes Patient 0.
The video file is about 30 minutes long, and it showed the process by which an unfamiliar female asks questions to the patient.
Suddenly, the people in the room saw the faces of Director Pan and a well-known Professor in Traditional Medicine, Arnold Teng.
When the people saw that Professor Teng is in the background, they all exclaimed in admiration.
Medicine now a day is divided into two, the Traditional and the Modern.
Modern medicine is fast-acting and systematic which greatly improves the lives of the people. Traditional medicine on the other hand is a bit more complicated and has been hidden for many years… hence many of its practices are lost in time.
But because of modernization, Traditional medicine has been unearthed and began to be analyzed by many experts and taught systematically to those who wish to learn it.
And so, after many years, traditional medicine began to be revived and took root in the hearts of the people.
The secrets of the past are now in the open and are being shared with those interested in it.
And Professor Arnold Teng is one of those people who became well-known when it comes to traditional internal medicine.
The face of the woman in the video is blurred out hence no one could recognize her. But even though that is the case, those watching the scene could not help but admire her warm voice.
They could even tell that the patient seem to be looking shy when seeing the doctor's face.
"So this time, it's a woman…" Senya Ji suddenly muttered.
A scheming glint suddenly appears in her eyes when she saw the video.
Then at the end of the video, they saw her apply acupuncture which almost made everyone's jaw almost dropped due to the speed.
And then they saw her make a decoction using a combination of synthetic drugs.
This made the doctors stand up in disbelief.
It is known that if she just miscalculates and made a wrong combination of the synthetic drugs, it would cause a diverse effect on the patient and the drugs might even turn into poison.
But before their eyes, they saw her administering the drug to the patient.
Then the time was fast-forwarded and they saw the patient vomiting a black pool of blood.
Then they saw the patient's condition getting better.
Everyone gawked at this scene and disbelief is still in their eyes.
Before anyone could question, Director Pan raised his hand and explained.
"The drug combination has already been passed to our research laboratory. The initial result is good… we will be undergoing some medical trials later to determine the right dosage for every patient…"
When the crowd heard this, excitement could be seen in their eyes.
"Director Pan, the patent for this.... this drug?…" one of the boards suddenly asked.
A smile appears on Director Pan's face.
They immediately knew that meaning and everyone nodded their head in satisfaction.
Every one of them knew that if this new drug is developed, then their hospital would be swarmed with diabetes patients.
Those board heads in charge of the hospital business, could not help but have their eyes twinkle like stars.
"Should we create a new separate department for this?" whispered one of the board members.
"Yes, of course… But we have to raise this in the next meeting…"
"Ahem… Now, this is the only video I will show you out of three… about the new doctor that I am going to present to you today…"
"Wait a minute… You mean she did more…"
Before that man could finish his words, Director Pan raised his hand to politely stop him.
"I know you are excited, but I have already shown those videos to the president and CEO, so we should wait for their good news… But now, I would like to present to you, our new doctor in the Traditional Medicine Department… Doctor Sung Jisoo…" Director Pan said as he nodded his head to the secretary at the back.
The secretary walked out of the room and when she enters, she is being followed by a tall and slender young woman.
Sung Jisoo is wearing a white blouse and a pair of black slacks. She just wore her hair in a bun and on her feet is a pair of white sandals with low heels.
As she walks to the front the eyes of the crowd were immediately glued on her beautiful features which made everyone's jaw almost drop to the ground.
Someone suddenly thought that an actress might have visited the hospital.
"Everyone… This is Doctor Sung Jisoo, our new member in the Traditional Medicine department…"
When he said this, everyone's eyes then landed on the group of old men in the room.
How could they not envy those old fogies when a beautiful doctor actually enters their ranks?
But those old men in the room showed suspicion in their eyes. They almost could not believe that the young woman is actually the one who was doing that checkup.
They are now suspicious of Director Pan.
"Is he doing this because of our low performance? Did he hire an actress to be our mascot?" one of the old traditional medicine doctors whispered.
"This Eugene Pan is really…"
Most of them are flabbergasted as they thought that Director Pan actually hired an actress to help them boost their department's results.
When Senya Ji heard the words of the old men, her eyes suddenly glowed in understanding.
She quickly stood up and then shouted.
"I object to this… We should see her skills firsthand… How dare you bring a fraud in here?!"
With her words, everyone's gaze landed on Sung Jisoo and Director Pan.
