Chapter 225 Establishing a Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Laboratory
With a head full of doubts, Li Quan followed Director Zhang to the dean's office.
Not long after, Professor Liu arrived.
Professor Liu was accompanied by Professor Tang and Professor Xie.
"Teacher, Professor Tang, Professor Xie!" Li Quan hurried forward to greet them.
He felt really sorry that the three professors took out their precious time to come to the dean and plead for him.
"Xiao Li, we have all heard about your story. You are a good kid, you are loyal and you have stayed with your girlfriend who has leukemia. You are great. But you want to resign, and we old guys won't agree to it."
Professor Tang has always been very optimistic about Li Quan.
Now that he knew that this promising young talent was going to resign, he was really anxious and angry.
He put the patient down and hurried over.
"Our pediatric department is still waiting for you to come for internship." Professor Xie also said.
"Professors, if there is no other way, I don't want to resign. I can find another job if I lose it, but my girlfriend only has one life. I would rather give up my future and do my best to save her."
Li Quan also expressed his determination to several people.
These professors and directors had all been very kind to him, and Li Quan felt very guilty for having failed to live up to their high hopes.
"Don't you just want to find a Chinese medicine prescription for treating leukemia? We will ask the dean to set up a Chinese medicine research department and bring you in, with leukemia as the current research topic. At that time, not only can you concentrate on studying the Chinese medicine prescription for treating leukemia, but there will also be many people to help you."
Professor Liu expressed his idea.
Li Quan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
That's a really good idea.
I just don’t know if the dean will agree?
After all, setting up a traditional Chinese medicine research department requires a considerable amount of funds.
"Although the idea that the teacher helped me think of is very good, will the hospital set up a Chinese medicine research department just for my personal matter?" Li Quan thought about it and felt that it was impossible.
"Boy, you are still too naive! Who said this was done for you? The idea of establishing a TCM research department has been discussed by Old Tang and others for many years. We have been waiting for an opportunity. Until you showed up , we all thought we had found the right person."
Professor Liu and Professor Tang looked at each other and both smiled with shrewdness.
Li Quan felt a chill rising from his tailbone.
Why do I feel like my teacher and Professor Tang have been plotting against me?
"Listen carefully. When you go in, don't mention resigning. We will lobby the dean, but there is no such thing as a free lunch. I'm sure you understand this. When it's time for you to take responsibility, don't just hide behind us and keep silent."
Professor Liu stared and gave instructions.
The deal was settled, and Professor Liu went forward and knocked on the door.
Boom boom boom!
"Come in!"
Dean Tan’s majestic voice came from inside.
The dean has his own office.
When I pushed the door open, I saw the dean writing and drawing on a document.
"Hey, Lao Liu, Lao Tang, Professor Xie, Director Zhang, Li Quan, why are you all here?" Dean Tan quickly stood up to greet them.
The dean's assistant was a man in his forties who wore glasses and looked capable and steady.
He was the first to stand up and asked Professor Liu and others to sit down.
And take the initiative to make tea for everyone.
Even when serving tea to Li Quan, he was smiling and very polite. He did not treat Li Quan differently because he was just a resident physician.
"You are all rare guests. You didn't come here just to drink my Da Hong Pao, did you?"
Dean Tan glanced at the five people with a smile.
"Director, have you heard? Two of the top-grade hospitals in Beijing have already established TCM research departments. Now the integration of Chinese and Western medicine has become an inevitable trend. Although there are several hospitals in the province that have established TCM departments, and even two of them are TCM top-grade hospitals established under the name of TCM, they are all only half-baked, or only have a superficial understanding of TCM."
"We have basically hit the ceiling in the field of Western medicine at Huier Hospital in recent years, and it is difficult to have much room for improvement. The competition among hospitals is also very fierce. I have discussed with Lao Tang and others that if Huier Hospital can make arrangements in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in advance, in the near future, it will definitely be able to leave behind Yuanyang Hospital and Provincial People's Hospital. Let the latecomer come out on top."
In terms of eloquence, Professor Tang is better than Professor Liu and Professor Xie.
So this time he was the first to speak.
They must have discussed it before coming.
As for Director Zhang, it was because of Li Quan's relationship that he had the opportunity to get so close to Professor Liu and others.
"Haha, planning to develop traditional Chinese medicine? That's easy to say, but who will carry this banner? Those famous old Chinese medicine practitioners are almost extinct now. Or they have been poached by the big hospitals in Beijing. How can it be our turn?"
Dean Tan obviously did not agree with this matter.
Without someone holding the flag, it is difficult to achieve anything.
Being a dean is an administrative position.
He won't talk to you about ambitions or ideals, he only wants to see results.
"There really is no one who can fight against the big banner. If there really is, it won't be our Huier Hospital. Yuanyang Hospital, Provincial People's Hospital, and several other hospitals of the same level as ours, which one is the easier to deal with? What Lao Liu and I mean is to cultivate internally and exert efforts at all levels."
Professor Tang put forward his own ideas.
"Internally cultivated?"
Dean Tan's gaze fell on Li Quan intentionally or unintentionally .
Several professors and directors brought Li Quan, a trainee, to see him. Their intention was self-evident.
The person who was trained internally to resist the flag was Li Quan.
"Through my observation of Li Quan over the past year or so, I have found that he is a responsible young doctor with upright medical ethics and style, and superb medical skills. In addition, he has a very good foundation in traditional Chinese medicine and is particularly talented. In the future, he will carry the banner of traditional Chinese medicine at Huier Hospital. I believe that he will definitely make Huier Hospital shine."
Professor Liu is a man of few words.
But once he speaks, he hits the point.
"Li Quan's recent performance is indeed remarkable. However, establishing a TCM research department is not something that can be done by one or two people, and the funds required are difficult to estimate. Do you have a specific research direction now? In other words, have you formulated a practical plan?"
Dean Tan's expression turned serious.
“Both!”
It was still Professor Liu who spoke.
"The research direction is cancer, which is currently an incurable disease in the medical field. From the perspective of Chinese medicine in China's treatment of cancer, it has indeed achieved certain results. This shows that this path is definitely feasible, but it is a little more difficult."
Professor Liu's expression also turned serious.
"As for practical plans, we have them as well. Old Tang and I will be the responsible persons for this TCM research department, and we will invite some doctors with a TCM foundation to join us and participate in TCM research without affecting their current work. Li Quan happens to have done in-depth research on cancer, so he will be the implementer of the specific plan."
"We will strive to achieve results within a year. If we fail to achieve results by then, the dean can disband our TCM research department."
Professor Liu was essentially signing a military order in front of the dean.
A year is neither short nor long.
It is by no means an easy task to develop a major breakthrough in cancer treatment within a year.
"Li Quan, do you dare to take on this task?" Professor Liu looked at Li Quan.
