Chapter 625: The bullshit is exposed, begging for medicine
But what he said was indeed the truth.
When Li Quan developed a Chinese medicine prescription for treating leukemia, he used the power of the media to hype it up, and even had the endorsement of the top blood disease experts in the United States.
But up to now, although the hematology business of Huier Hospital has been growing, the speed is far from comparable to that of traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics, ophthalmology, and neurology departments.
The hematology business of Yuanyang Hospital has been doing well and has even grown.
It is much stronger than the neurology department that was beaten half to death by the Weil Hospital.
"Director Xin, we should be prepared for danger in times of peace. The fact that the hematology department of Yuanyang Hospital is fine now does not mean that it will be fine in the future. Li Quan of Huier Hospital is definitely a formidable opponent and deserves our attention.
According to reliable intelligence, he has led a scientific research team to develop a new leukemia treatment drug, which is a special-effect drug.
Once it is put on the market, the good days of our hospital's hematology department will be over.
Don’t forget how Jiang’s Orthopedic Hospital, Shanghai, and even many other major hospitals in the country were ruined.”
The beautiful and charming public relations director Gu Qian is not only well-informed, but has also clashed with Li Quan many times.
Deep understanding.
She has suffered at the hands of Li Quan.
It can be said that I have never won a fight with Li Quan.
I lose badly every time.
"Minister Gu, although what you said makes some sense, I don't agree with your point of view. There is a saying that goes, no matter how strong it is, a gentle breeze will blow over the hills. The hematology department of our Yuanyang Hospital has me in charge, and we have the wise leadership of Dean Jia. We also have a large number of imported advanced instruments and equipment, drugs, and an elite medical team specializing in blood diseases. No matter how powerful Huier Hospital is, it can never be our opponent."
While Director Xin was arguing, he did not forget to flatter President Jia.
"Xiao Gu, I think you are worrying too much. In the future, you must not encourage the enemy and destroy your own prestige." Dean Jia felt very flattered by this flattery, and Director Xin did a very good job.
The Hematology Department of Yuanyang Hospital did not lose its "territory" like other departments.
Worthy of praise and recognition.
As he was speaking, a young man stumbled into the meeting room.
"Dean, Dean, something bad has happened!"
This young man is an officer in the hospital office.
"You are so flustered! What a disgrace! If you have something to say, please speak slowly!" Dean Jia glared at the young man with a little dissatisfaction. After the others in the meeting room saw who the young man was, they retracted their gazes.
This person is Dean Jia’s brother-in-law.
The grassroots staff of the hospital may not be aware of this, but the department heads and hospital executives present are very clear about it.
It's just that for things like this, everyone just needs to know it in their hearts, and no one will say it out loud, let alone expose it in public.
Otherwise, it would be tantamount to completely offending President Jia.
The consequences are serious.
"Director, I just received reliable information that Huier Hospital is holding a press conference. I heard that they are recruiting ten leukemia patients from all over the country to provide free treatment. The purpose is to promote the newly developed leukemia drug."
The young man's words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in the already tense atmosphere of the meeting room.
"What?"
Dean Jia stood up suddenly.
"How come we only got the news about such a big thing now? The fact that Huier Hospital dared to hold this press conference shows two things: the leukemia drug has been launched on the market, and Huier Hospital has prepared sufficient leukemia drugs, waiting for patients from all over the country to flock to it."
Dean Jia's face was as gloomy as water, and there was anger in his eyes.
How come the public relations department and the hospital office of Yuanyang Hospital have become deaf and blind? This is a serious dereliction of duty.
The Office of the Academy belongs to President Jia’s cabinet and is his confidant.
Not easy to blame.
However, the public relations department itself has the responsibility to help the hospital resolve the crisis. In addition, this department is not directly under the dean, so it can only be used as a target.
"Minister Gu, your public relations department has been responsible for collecting all kinds of information in the industry. Now that they have held a press conference, we have learned the news. What is your public relations department doing?"
Dean Jia's roar echoed in the conference room.
Gu Qian lowered her head and dared not argue.
She knew Dean Jia's temper very well. At times like this, the more you argued, the worse you would be scolded.
"Dean, we didn't hear anything about such a big thing, which is very telling. My classmates and alumni work in major hospitals, including Huier Hospital, but I haven't heard them talk about this. This shows that other hospitals haven't heard about it either.
From this, there is only one possibility, that is, Huier Hospital deliberately blocked the news.
Minister Gu Qian cannot be blamed for this, we can only blame Li Quan for being too cunning. "
There is always a shortage of men who are willing to be heroes and save beauties.
A man sitting to the right of President Jia spoke up for Minister Gu Qian.
"Xingyuanzhu's analysis makes sense. I agree." Another male doctor spoke up.
"Well, that is indeed a possibility. I was too anxious and angry just now. Minister Gu, please don't mind it." Dean Jia's voice softened a lot.
Minister Gu Qian raised her delicate hand and smoothed her bangs, looking very charming and I felt even more sorry for her.
This woman is very good at using her advantages.
For example, her beauty and her fragility as a woman.
"I understand that the director is concerned about the safety of the hospital. This incident also made me realize that the public relations department is not doing a good enough job. If there is enough funding, we must find a way to plant a few spies in the important departments of Huier Hospital. Only in this way can we ensure that we can obtain the latest developments of Huier Hospital in a timely manner."
This woman is amazing.
He took this opportunity to ask the hospital for money, openly requesting that the hospital increase the activity funds for the public relations department.
Other departments generally have clear accounts of how much money they have spent.
However, the public relations department usually deals with reception, public relations, banquets, or spending some money to settle certain negative news, troublesome family members or patients, so all these have a high degree of flexibility.
So it is difficult to make the public relations department's bills transparent.
For Minister Gu Qian, obtaining more funding means an opportunity to increase her gray income.
"It is indeed a good idea to plant spies. Huier Hospital is now the archenemy of our Yuanyang Hospital. Since most of the hospital's senior executives are present, everyone can express their support for this matter?"
Dean Jia's eyes swept across the audience.
Perhaps, he had intended to do this a long time ago, but as the dean, he had to be careful about his words and actions and not let others find fault with him.
Now is the opportunity.
Gu Qian brought it up in public, so he just needed to ask for everyone's opinions and then nod.
Even if this matter was exposed, he, as the dean, would not bear any blame.
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Placing spies is urgent."
The hospital executives in the conference room almost unanimously supported this approach.
Anyway, this kind of trick is popular among big companies and countries alike.
Even leaders will place spies around their subordinates in order to monitor them.
"Since everyone agrees, Minister Gu, you should handle this matter immediately. As for the funds, you can reimburse the actual amount spent according to the normal procedures."
Dean Jia made the final decision and settled the matter.
"Okay, then I'll arrange it right away. Should we send someone to disrupt the press conference being held at Huier Hospital?" Gu Qian got some actual benefits and was very happy.
A barely perceptible smile appeared on his face.
For women, the thing that makes them feel most secure is money.
Only with money can you buy a house, a car and everything you want.
"There's no need to make trouble. It's a waste of time and money, and there's no real effect. If Li Quan finds out and reports it to the competent department, we'll have to take the blame."
Dean Jia's face twitched and he directly rejected the proposal.
Jiang’s Orthopedic Hospital is a living example.
At that time, they sent old people to the entrance of Huier Hospital to hold banners and make all kinds of false accusations.
What's the result?
Instead, he was caught by the hair and beaten to a cripple by the Huier Hospital.
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Ever since Huier Hospital held a press conference to recruit ten leukemia patients from across the country for free treatment, this explosive news immediately spread across the country.
Leukemia patients from all over the country called Huier Hospital or rushed to seek treatment immediately.
Everyone wants to get those ten places for free treatment.
It is undeniable that free is always the most attractive.
Because it is human nature to take advantage.
The ten places were quickly filled up, but leukemia patients continued to come for treatment, and the number soon exceeded one thousand.
The order given by Li Quan was very simple: all patients who came for treatment would be treated.
Li Quan actually fulfilled his promise and provided free treatment to the ten lucky patients who got the chance.
Then make it into a documentary or short video and post it online.
As for the vast majority of remaining leukemia patients, Li Quan adopted a very effective method to retain them.
First, ensure efficacy.
Second, the cost of treatment was halved compared to their original hospital.
In fact, even if the cost of treatment is halved, Huier Hospital will still make money.
The profit is not small.
Because the newly developed leukemia drugs are much cheaper than imported targeted drugs and chemotherapy drugs.
The key effect is pretty good.
However, this specific drug for leukemia cannot cure all leukemias.
In some specific leukemias, the effectiveness of this drug is greatly weakened.
…
The Ocean Hospital is already shrouded in gloom.
Because in just three days, the number of patients seeking treatment in the hematology department has dropped from an average of 40 to 50 patients per day to an average of 4 to 5 patients per day.
It dropped tenfold.
This is not the worst.
The existing inpatients in the hospital's hematology department requested to be transferred or discharged for various reasons.
They all went to Wheeler Hospital.
This is like adding insult to injury for Yuanyang Hospital.
In the small conference room, Dean Jia, Assistant Dean of the Criminal Court, several vice deans, the director of the Department of Hematology, the director of the hospital office and other senior executives all gathered there.
They all had serious expressions.
"Director Xin, you speak first! Three days ago, we were also having a meeting in this conference room. You told everyone that the hematology department of Yuanyang Hospital would not be affected in any way. You also said that it would be strong as long as it was strong, and the breeze would blow over the hills. Now, nine out of ten wards in the hematology department of Yuanyang Hospital are empty, and the admission rate for new patients is extremely low.
If the situation continues like this, the hematology department will exist in name only and all diseases can be transferred to the internal medicine department."
Dean Jia's face was as gloomy as water and his brows were furrowed.
No matter how comfortable Director Xin's flattery makes him feel, it can't be used to make a living.
The hematology department employs so many people, and they all need to be paid.
The occupied wards and various medical equipment also have very high costs.
"Director, please give me a little time. I have found out that Huier Hospital's leukemia-specific drugs are purchased from Yanhuang Pharmaceutical. Our hospital can also purchase a batch of leukemia-specific drugs and immediately have the qualifications to compete with Huier Hospital."
The bold words Director Xin said just two days ago have now been shattered by the cruel reality.
His face felt hot.
When he heard that Dean Jia wanted to directly abolish the Hematology Department, he couldn't help but get anxious.
If the Department of Hematology is really going to be gone, his fate as the department director will be worrying.
Even if he was not fired by the hospital, he would become a subordinate of the internal medicine department and could only depend on the mood of the director of the internal medicine department.
He absolutely could not accept such terrible consequences.
"Pharmacy, have you made a purchasing plan?" Dean Jia looked at the person in charge of the pharmacy.
"We had already made a purchase plan yesterday and it had passed the approval of all levels of the hospital. But after contacting the sales department of Yanhuang Pharmaceutical, they said that we could only register our purchase intention first, and they would contact us when the drugs were available."
The pharmacy manager lowered his head, feeling helpless.
Under normal circumstances, hospitals have an absolute advantage in purchasing medicines, and pharmaceutical companies even have to give kickbacks and benefits to beg hospitals to buy their medicines.
But Yanhuang Pharmaceutical broke this industry practice.
Now it's the other way around.
It was the hospitals that begged Yanhuang Pharmaceutical to sell drugs to them.
What’s even more infuriating is that giving gifts is useless.
They don’t accept it at all.
"Call again to urge them. It's useless to wait for them to contact us until next year. Yanhuang Pharmaceutical has a close relationship with Li Quan, so they should help Li Quan, right?"
Dean Jia's eyes widened, and the pharmacy manager was so scared that he immediately made a phone call.
I didn't dare to be shy and beat him in front of these people.
"Hello, is this Director Han from Yanhuang Pharmaceutical? I'm from Yuanyang Hospital. When can we purchase the purchase application we submitted yesterday?"
The pharmacy manager accompanied Xiao Xiao and asked in a low voice.
The phone is on speakerphone.
Make sure everyone can hear clearly.
"Sorry, due to the limited production capacity of this drug and the fact that it has just been launched on the market, we can only ensure that at least one hospital in each region can buy this drug.
At present, the Shanghai area has been occupied by Huier Hospital, which has purchased 50,000 doses of leukemia-specific drugs from our Yanhuang Pharmaceutical.
If there are leukemia patients in your Ocean Hospital who cannot wait, you can let the patients go to Huier Hospital to get medicine and treatment first.
If there is nothing else, I will hang up first. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone got busy.
The sales manager of Yanhuang Pharmaceutical has hung up the phone.
"hateful!"
Dean Jia’s fists were clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound, and his face was full of anger.
