Chapter 67: First Extra Income
During the meal, Dr. Hu received a phone call and only spoke a few brief words.
"I see!"
"clear!"
Then he hung up the phone.
When Li Quan and others finished their meal and were about to leave, Doctor Hu smiled and said to Li Quan and Professor Tang, "The dean in charge just called and asked me to ask Professor Tang and Doctor Li to come over and sign."
What to sign?
Li Quan wondered secretly.
Professor Tang smiled and said, "Your hospital is so polite!" After that, he stood up and followed Doctor Hu, motioning Li Quan to follow as well.
"Hurry up! We'll be waiting for you in the parking lot!" Secretary Chen saw that Li Quan was stupid and didn't move, so he pushed him gently.
This behavior is very much like an older sister advising her younger brother.
It seems that they all know what's going on, except Li Quan.
Li Quan followed Professor Tang with full of doubts.
A moment later, the two were taken to the vice president's office by Dr. Hu.
After knocking on the door and entering, I saw a middle-aged man with a rosy complexion sitting at the desk, about fifty years old. To be the director of a tertiary hospital at such a young age was enough to show that this person had strong abilities.
"Dean Ji, I have invited Professor Tang and Doctor Li!"
Doctor Hu introduced with a smile.
"Professor Tang, I've long heard of your name!" Dean Ji quickly stood up , smiling, and enthusiastically went to the door to shake hands with Professor Tang.
After greeting Professor Tang, his gaze fell on Li Quan with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"This must be Doctor Li Quan. It's better to meet him in person than to hear about him. I didn't expect that Doctor Li is so young, yet he has superb medical skills. Most importantly, he is also very handsome. To use a popular saying nowadays, I can obviously make a living by relying on my looks, but I prefer to rely on my strength."
Dean Ji's humorous remarks made everyone present laugh.
It would be a lie to say that Li Quan felt unhappy after being praised for his medical skills and appearance.
His favorability towards the dean in charge skyrocketed.
Look how good the dean in charge is at speaking.
Listening to it makes people feel refreshed.
"Director Ji, I'll go wait outside first!" Doctor Hu walked out of the office tactfully.
He closed the door behind him.
"Come on, please take a seat!" The dean in charge walked to the water dispenser and prepared to pour water for the two.
"I won't sit down. My department still has a lot of things waiting for me to deal with. Come visit Dean Ji next time you have the chance!"
Professor Tang is the chief director of the Department of Internal Medicine at Huier Hospital and is indeed very busy.
I took time out to attend this medical research conference.
"You are a very busy person, I understand! The surgery we performed on Professor Bei Ke this time was perfect, and you two have made great contributions. According to the rules, you should be paid for the consultation fee. This is the detailed fee sent by the finance department. If you have no objection, please sign it."
The dean in charge smiled and took out two small slips similar to pay slips and placed them in front of the two men.
The pens are ready.
"Your hospital is too polite! " Professor Tang must have seen many such scenes. He glanced at the medical bill naturally, then picked up the pen and signed his name in a flamboyant manner.
Li Quan also followed suit.
As soon as he saw the medical fee on the note, his heart started beating faster.
Wow, a full five thousand yuan, which is higher than the monthly salary of a formal resident doctor.
No wonder those experts and professors can drive nice cars and live in luxury houses. If you only see patients two or three times a month, you can earn double your income.
"The cash is in an envelope. You two can count it in person!" The dean in charge stuffed an envelope into each of the two people's hands.
Professor Tang’s was bulging, and I estimated it was worth at least ten thousand yuan.
For a top medical professor like Professor Tang, a consultation fee of a few thousand yuan is not a lot.
Li Quan's envelope was much thinner. But he was very satisfied. Five thousand yuan of extra money was a huge sum of money for a poor intern like him.
With this unexpected income, he should be able to support himself until he receives his first month's salary after being converted to a regular employee.
This way I don’t have to ask my family for money anymore.
"Oh, the consultation fee is so high, is it too much?" Professor Tang said politely after taking the envelope.
"Not much, not much! Usually, even if I have money, I can't invite you to see a patient!" The dean in charge smiled and waved his hands.
It is indeed not an easy task to invite Professor Tang to see a patient.
What's more, this patient was brought here by Professor Tang. Not only can this People's Hospital earn a large amount of medical fees, but its reputation will also expand. The benefits are huge.
As long as the dean in charge is not stupid, he will definitely give a high level of consultation fee and take the opportunity to establish a good relationship with Professor Tang.
Maybe we can work together again in the future.
"Haha, Dean Ji thinks too highly of me! If there is nothing else, we will take our leave first."
Professor Tang was very satisfied as he had already received the consultation fee, so there was naturally no need for him to stay any longer.
"I'll see you two off!"
Dean Ji walked the two of them to the door and waved goodbye.
"Please stay, Dean Ji! Stay!" Professor Tang also waved his hand.
"Goodbye, both of you! Doctor Li is young and promising. I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future!" Dean Ji must have heard about Li Quan's abilities, so he thinks highly of Li Quan.
"Sure, sure!"
Li Quan was smiling at this moment.
If there is an opportunity to see a patient at this People's Hospital, he will never refuse easily as long as it is within his ability.
Because earning extra money by seeing patients in other hospitals is not only an honor, but also a legal income.
It is a hundred times safer than accepting red envelopes from patients or secretly accepting kickbacks from medical representatives.
After the two of them left the office, Li Quan ran into the bathroom under the pretext of going to the toilet and quickly opened the envelope. Inside was a thick stack of red bills.
He quickly counted out ten sheets and wrapped them in an envelope.
Professor Tang didn't walk very fast, so he soon caught up with him.
"Professor Tang, I was able to earn a lot of extra money this time, all thanks to you. This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it." Li Quan stuffed the thousand yuan in the envelope over.
He doesn't even have a practicing medical certificate and is not qualified to practice medicine independently.
However, as an intern, under the guidance of a senior doctor, he can do some "practice training". If it weren't for Professor Tang's "leadership", Li Quan would not be qualified to participate in the rescue.
Naturally, you won’t be able to earn any money from the consultation fees.
He felt it necessary to take out a thousand yuan to thank Professor Tang.
"Xiao Li, what are you doing? Put your things away quickly. If someone sees it, it will have a very bad impact. Also, this money is earned entirely by your own ability. You don't have to share it with anyone."
Professor Tang sternly rejected Li Quan's kindness.
"It's not easy for you interns to be here without any salary. You can take this kind of legal extra income with peace of mind. By the way, your interns are about to graduate, and I have high hopes for you. I hope you can seize the time to review your lessons and strive to get your license after the internship."
Professor Tang was showing some goodwill to Li Quan to prevent him from having any wild thoughts.
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the parking lot. Secretary Chen stood outside the car and waved at them.
