Chapter 44: There is no place for two tigers in one mountain
As he was talking, the elevator stopped rising and the door opened automatically.
"Professors, we have arrived at the venue. Please come in!" The woman who greeted them was very smart. While they were arguing, she kept smiling and didn't say a word.
After the group exited the elevator, they were led directly into the conference room by the woman.
“So big!”
Li Quan looked around and saw that it was a theater-style large conference room, conservatively estimated to be more than 1,000 square meters. It could easily accommodate five or six hundred people for a meeting.
At this moment, there were already quite a few people sitting in the conference hall, and looking around, it was a sea of heads.
As the seminar had not yet begun, participants were free to communicate freely, so the venue was quite noisy.
"Who are the participants in this conference?" Professor Xie asked casually.
"It is mainly doctors from municipal hospitals in the province, and a few outstanding doctors from county hospitals have also been invited. The rest are students or assistants brought by the doctors. In principle, each invited doctor is only allowed to bring one student or assistant."
The woman answered as she led a few people towards the podium.
Huier Hospital is one of the largest hospitals in the province.
It was naturally impossible for the three professors to sit together with the doctors from the county hospital.
When they entered the conference room, they attracted a lot of people's attention.
Li Quan could feel that most of the eyes looking at the three professors were full of admiration.
They soon reached the podium.
There are already two rows of seats here.
The front row is for professors to sit in, and the back row only has seats without tables in front, and is for students or assistants brought by the professors.
It is definitely a great honor to be able to sit in the front row of the rostrum.
Each of them is a leading figure in the province’s medical field.
Li Quan counted secretly and found that there were eleven seats in the first row of the rostrum. On the table in front of each seat, there was already a bottle of mineral water and a name and position card.
Professor of Provincial People’s Hospital: Wu Shuang.
Professor of Jiangdu Central Hospital: Qiu Zhenghai.
Well-known cardiovascular expert at Shanghai Ocean Hospital: Bei Ke.
Well-known neurosurgeon at Shanghai Yuanyang Hospital: Xu Tiangao.
Professor of Shanghai Ocean Hospital: Shi Nan.
…
It would have been better if he hadn't watched it. After watching it, Li Quan found that Shanghai Yuanyang Hospital was really awesome. He occupied five of the eleven judges' seats.
The Provincial People's Hospital is also a very impressive hospital, with first-class medical technology and equipment in the province. It only occupies one seat on the judging panel.
From this we can also see that the value of each judging panel seat is extremely high.
It is by no means a matter of randomly inviting a few experts and professors from ordinary hospitals to fill in the numbers and keep up the show.
Each of the judges invited this time is an expert in the medical field.
Sitting in the middle was a middle-aged man wearing a black suit and a red tie, with fair skin and a face that exuded a faint majesty that came from power.
The sign in front of this person reads, President of the Magic City Medical Association, Zhao Lixin.
The woman who led Li Quan and others into the venue walked quickly to the side of President Zhao and whispered a few words.
President Zhao immediately stood up and greeted Professor Liu and others with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Tang, Mr. Liu, and Professor Xie, it's been a long time since we last met. It's not easy to finally invite you three busy people here." President Zhao smiled warmly and shook hands with the three professors.
"President Zhao, you're too polite!"
Professor Tang and others were all very humble.
It seems that President Zhao not only has great power, but also has strong abilities.
"Come, please take a seat! The medical research meeting will begin soon." After the greetings, President Zhao invited the three to take a seat.
Professor Tang and Professor Liu had very high status and were arranged to sit next to Xu Tiangao, a well-known expert in the Department of Neurology at Yuanyang Hospital. Professor Xie's qualifications might be a little worse, so he was arranged to sit at the end.
In fact, the seat numbers are arranged in advance, so you just need to sit in the right seat.
"Hello, Professor Xu!" Professor Tang took the initiative to greet him with a smile.
"Haha, our Ocean Hospital is indeed developing better and better. Professor Tang, how are you?" Xu Tiangao's words were full of sarcasm.
Li Quan sat down in the seat behind Professor Liu.
Before he entered the Wellcome Hospital for internship, he had heard that there was fierce competition between Wellcome Hospital and Ocean Hospital.
Later, when I went to the Huier Hospital for internship, I could feel the pressure from the Ocean Hospital even more.
It's not just competitive pressure in business.
There are many aspects.
It is said that there is no place for two tigers in one mountain. Although Shanghai has a population of tens of millions, and there are countless public and private hospitals, there are only two top hospitals, namely Huier and Sino-Ocean.
Whether in terms of reputation, business, or influence in academia, Huier Hospital is currently at a disadvantage.
Looking at this medical research conference, Yuanyang Hospital directly occupied five judges seats, while Huier only had three seats, which shows something.
"I'm fine, but I haven't seen Professor Xu for two years. His eloquence has improved. The development of Yuanyang Hospital is indeed good, but it's a pity that the rate of positive comments from patients has not increased. If I meet Director Song of Yuanyang Hospital someday, I will give him a suggestion. If Professor Xu is allowed to preside over the patient follow-up work, I believe the rate of positive comments from your hospital will definitely increase significantly."
Professor Tang smiled and responded with a few words.
There was no trace of anger throughout the whole process.
Not even a single curse word was used.
Hit the snake at its most vulnerable part.
He seized on the praise rate and hit the sore spot of Yuanyang Hospital.
For some unknown reason, the patient ratings of Yuanyang Hospital have always been lower than those of other large hospitals.
This is also the unspeakable pain of Ocean Hospital.
"Uh...haha...Professor Tang is really humorous." Xu Tiangao laughed. After getting his head broken and bleeding, he didn't dare to talk to Professor Tang anymore.
His eyes turned slightly and fell on Professor Liu.
"Old Liu, have you got a new apprentice?" Professor Xu asked with a wry smile.
"I will lead a group of interns every year." Professor Liu is an honest man and his ability of bickering is far inferior to that of Professor Xu.
He dealt with it carefully.
"You are a doctor specializing in obstetrics and gynecology, so you should recruit female apprentices. If you recruit a male apprentice, he will definitely have no future." Professor Xu began to use his tactics.
The target of this attack was Li Quan.
Of course, his real intention was to say that Professor Liu, a man, was a loser who was stuck in the obstetrics and gynecology department.
"What's wrong with obstetrics and gynecology? Doctors don't see gender differences, only patients." Professor Liu replied with his neck stiff.
"That's what you say , but look at what percentage of obstetricians and gynecologists are male? Probably less than 10%. Besides, is it convenient for a man like you to specialize in studying women's diseases? Aren't you afraid that others will call you obscene?"
Professor Xu asked a series of questions, leaving Professor Liu speechless.
"No wonder Huier Hospital is not doing well. The problem lies at the root."
He shook his head and won the game back.
"You..." Professor Liu was so angry that he was shaking all over. Isn't this humiliating?
Unfortunately, I was at a loss for words and couldn't refute it.
"Teacher, have you heard a little story?" Li Quan spoke at this time. Seeing his teacher being bullied, he felt obligated to help fight back.
