Chapter 460: The key to hospital revenue generation: girls should learn to protect themselves
Being unwilling to go to a quieter place to have a private chat with Dean Zhang already meant rejection.
If Dean Zhang is sensible, he will leave tactfully.
"Excuse me, Dr. Zhou works so hard in Tuya, does he earn more than 30,000 yuan a month?"
Zhang Mingxing is no different from other headhunters. He plans to impress Zhou Can with money first.
"I'm sorry, this involves the hospital's secrets, so I can't disclose it."
Zhou Can didn't give the other party any chance.
"Then I'll just tell you a number! As long as you are willing to work in the Third Hospital, I will give you at least 600,000 yuan a year." Zhang Mingxing stretched out his right hand, then raised a finger of his left hand and added them together.
In his opinion, six hundred thousand to recruit a resident-level surgeon was already an outrageous price.
It is indeed a sky-high price.
Under normal circumstances, resident-level surgeons are still in the advanced apprentice status, and for many first and second level surgeries they are just beginning to learn from senior doctors and act as medical assistants.
"Thank you for your kindness. I'm not planning to move. It's good here."
Zhou Can refused without blinking.
The annual salary of 600,000 yuan was not attractive to him at all. 600,000 yuan before tax, after tax deduction, the total amount was probably less than 500,000 yuan.
Zhou Can's income from just a few high-quality stocks is much more than this.
Not to mention other investments.
So far, his biggest source of income is still Jinyu Interactive. This is a cash cow that can bring him very considerable dividends every month. If it is successfully listed in the future, it will be even more amazing.
"I know that I can't poach Dr. Zhou with a high salary. What if our Third Hospital can guarantee to help you improve your academic qualifications and allow you to study in Japan?"
Zhang Mingxing offered another tempting condition.
If he didn't even know Zhou Can's basic academic qualifications before poaching him, he would be unqualified.
A bachelor's degree is Zhou Can's biggest shortcoming. He believes that in this era when academic qualifications are extremely important, Zhou Can must be eager to improve his academic qualifications.
The fact that he was able to suggest that Zhou Can go to Japan for further studies shows that he has a wide range of connections in Japan.
The Japanese cardiac surgeon was most likely the work of Vice President Zhang.
In this new era of fierce competition, competition among hospitals is particularly fierce.
Especially in the provincial capital, there are many talents and big hospitals everywhere. Hospitals with a little strength want to become bigger and stronger.
The development of a hospital cannot become strong just because you want it to.
The most important thing is to have money and top medical talents.
There are only three sources of funding for public hospitals: grants from above, donations from big entrepreneurs or wealthy businessmen, and the last option is to find ways to generate income on their own.
The conditions for funding from above are strict, and a comprehensive evaluation will be conducted based on the hospital's size, scientific research results, academic achievements, social contributions, etc. It is wishful thinking for medium-sized hospitals to compete with large hospitals.
The second method is to obtain donations from the public.
This is also a low-probability event.
After all, the money of those wealthy businessmen is hard-earned, and it is impossible for them to donate it to a hospital casually.
How much you donate basically depends on your luck.
The hospital was lucky enough to have a wealthy businessman donate 10 or 20 million yuan, which was considered a great success.
This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for the construction of a large hospital.
The last solution is for the hospital to generate its own income.
This is also the most practical way.
It’s just like we adults need to work hard and can’t rely on our parents.
You can basically spend the money you earn however you want.
Speaking of hospital revenue generation, I mentioned last time that the doctor's CMI index is related to the hospital's medical insurance prepayment amount. If you want to make money from patients these days, medical insurance is the king.
I believe that when many patients need to be hospitalized, doctors will ask them whether they have purchased medical insurance. Is it employee medical insurance or the New Rural Cooperative Medical Insurance?
Of course, the doctor would not be so idle as to ask this question.
If the patient has purchased employee medical insurance, there are basically no restrictions when prescribing some tests and medicines as long as they are within the quota.
However, the higher-ups are now strictly controlling the proportion of drug fees, and the doctors' technical service fees are shockingly low. In order to find ways to cope with the superiors' policies without affecting revenue generation, prescribing more tests has basically become the norm.
For any hospital, there is a type of patient who is like a god, and that is the veteran cadres.
It’s just that when old cadres get sick, they rarely go to small hospitals for treatment.
Generally, patients are hospitalized in large hospitals for treatment.
What they pursue is the best treatment effect and the safest medical insurance. As for the cost of treatment, there is no need to consider this at all. The reimbursement rate of up to 100% and the independent medical insurance system are enough to make them the absolute VIPs in the eyes of doctors and nurses.
Any expensive medicine can be used, as can any expensive instruments and treatments.
No other factors need to be considered.
In the actual consultation process, most of the outpatient and emergency patients do not have medical insurance, or have purchased the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme.
Those patients who are unwilling to buy the New Rural Cooperative Medical Insurance, which costs several hundred yuan a year, are basically the real poor group or very stingy patients. When doctors see this kind of patients, they basically save as much as possible.
The main thing is to be affordable.
Then let me say one more thing, the biochemistry department of a large hospital pursues quality.
When we encounter this kind of poor patients and do some special biochemical tests, we basically lose money. Sometimes we have to pay a lot. Small hospitals don't have these problems. They don't do this kind of special biochemical tests at all.
Small hospitals are limited in terms of equipment, talent and consumables, and they really cannot afford to make losses.
From the above-mentioned revenue-generating issues, it cannot be seen how difficult it is for the hospital to generate revenue.
For patients with medical insurance, there are restrictions on the amount of medical insurance and the proportion of medicine. For those without medical insurance or the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme with a very low reimbursement rate, you must feel sorry for the patients and try to minimize the treatment costs in all aspects.
I can only say that it is difficult for hospitals to make money.
If you can become a leading hospital, even if it is only a leading hospital in a certain medical field, generating revenue will have another definition.
This is also the main reason why the Third Hospital, Xinxiang Hospital, and even the Provincial People's Hospital are striving to compete for a piece of cake in the field of cardiothoracic surgery.
As long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, major hospitals will fight fiercely for the extra "cake" like hungry sharks.
Vice President Zhang of the Third Hospital personally went out to recruit Zhou Can because he valued Zhou Can's terrifying ability to generate income and huge potential.
"What do you think? Doctor Zhou, you might as well consider it carefully. Although your development in Tuya is not bad, it is definitely much worse than the conditions offered by our Third Hospital. Whether it is in terms of income, academic improvement, or future growth space, our Third Hospital can give you the best."
When Vice President Zhang saw that Zhou Can did not refuse immediately, he thought there was a chance.
So he used his eloquent tongue to continue his ideological work on Zhou Can.
"I'm sorry, no matter how tempting the conditions you offer are, I have never thought of leaving Tuya Hospital. On the contrary, I'm afraid you need to leave immediately."
Zhou Can curled his lips.
He looked not far away and saw two security guards walking towards him quickly.
"Sir, please leave our hospital immediately."
"Tuya is a public hospital. This should be a public area. I haven't done anything illegal. Why are you kicking me out?"
Vice President Zhang seemed very calm when faced with the security guards' expulsion.
"Because you are suspected of poaching doctors from our hospital, this has violated the hospital's regulations and is also a very unethical behavior. Please!"
The security department of Tuya Hospital has just undergone a comprehensive cleansing, and the newly recruited security guards are of very high quality.
If Chief Mi was still in office, he would probably beat Zhang Mingxing up.
Vice President Zhang was also very bold. He directly poached Tuya's staff in the hospital. Someone must have heard it and reported it directly to the department leader. Then he called the security guards to drive him away.
"Doctor Zhou, you might as well consider my proposal seriously. Goodbye."
Vice President Zhang looked at Zhou Can deeply. Although he was unwilling, he had to leave temporarily.
Zhou Can didn't say anything.
Being poached is an honor in itself. Only those with real ability will be poached and remembered by others.
If you encounter something like this, just refuse.
He went straight to the ward for rounds and was not affected at all.
This is not the first time that he has been poached.
Just treat it as a small episode in the heavy work.
When I came to the inpatient ward, many patients knew him . For those who didn't know him, I could hear some praises of Zhou Can from other family members and patients. So everyone was very respectful to Zhou Can.
In the minds of most family members and patients, doctors are the most important, and nurses are regarded as marginal personnel.
In fact, this is unfair to nurses and a form of discrimination.
Doctors are responsible for performing surgery, diagnosing, prescribing and formulating treatment plans, but nurses are still responsible for the daily management of patients.
The doctor checks the room twice a day, morning and evening, which is considered very diligent.
Nurses have to run around the ward countless times a day, and they will always pay attention to the patient's condition. If there is anything abnormal, they will immediately tell the doctor in charge and ask the doctor to come and deal with it.
Patients simply think that nurses only give injections and change medicines, which is a misunderstanding and contempt for this profession.
Even today, this perception remains deeply rooted.
Especially in China, nurses have a low status in hospitals and in the eyes of patients and their families. Their income can only be described as OK, but compared with the real high-income doctors, the gap is very large.
And no matter how hard you try, it is difficult to increase your income.
It’s different for doctors; the older they get, the more popular they are.
Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are afraid of entering the wrong profession. If they have a choice, doing some other jobs may offer better prospects.
Zhou Can checked each bed one by one. When family members or patients greeted him, he would nod warmly in response.
"Dr. Zhou, thank you for saving my daughter today. Thank you! I was almost scared to death at that time, you know?"
The young female patient with ectopic pregnancy continued to receive hospital treatment after the operation .
"You're welcome! Treating patients is my job."
Zhou Can smiled and waved his hand, looking at the female patient who was receiving an IV drip on the bed.
A little over 18 years old, she is already pregnant, which shows that girls in our country are far from adequate in sex education. Many parents think it is not appropriate to let their children get in touch with sex knowledge too early.
This also results in girls not knowing how to protect themselves.
This ectopic pregnancy had a huge impact on the girl.
Fortunately, she met Zhou Can, who had superb medical skills. Otherwise, even if she could save her life, she would probably suffer the serious consequence of lifelong infertility.
"How are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhou Can asked the female patient.
"I just feel a little pain in the surgical wound, and my head is still a little dizzy."
The female patient's face was still pale, but her lips had a hint of redness, making her not as scary as before.
"It's normal for the wound to hurt after surgery. It will get better in three or four days." Zhou Can answered and turned to the woman's mother. "Pull the bed curtain over here so I can take a look at her wound."
After the bed curtains were drawn, Zhou Can uncovered the girl's quilt and lifted up her clothes.
After carefully checking the wound, it's not bad.
The female patient seemed very shy and embarrassed.
Fortunately, Zhou Can was very considerate of her feelings. He just checked her over and then re-bandaged the wound, fixed her clothes, and covered her with a quilt.
"The bed curtains can be drawn. The wound looks okay for now."
As Zhou Can spoke, he took the vital signs recorded by the nurse, including key data such as temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure.
"Have you urinated yet?"
"I did once! It was a bit painful. My mom said there was blood in my urine."
"Well, let's see tomorrow. If the internal wounds are repaired and there is no further bleeding, your urine should be back to normal tomorrow. You can drink some water and keep your diet light."
After reviewing the nursing records, Zhou Can was very confident about the recovery of the young female patient.
"Doctor Zhou, will my daughter's stomach be left with a scar?"
The girl's mother is an experienced person and knows very well what it means for an unmarried girl to have a surgical scar on her abdomen, similar to that caused by a cesarean section.
In the future, when you get married, you will easily be looked down upon by your husband.
After all, no husband wants to marry a wife who has been pregnant by another man.
Therefore, girls must love themselves before marriage, otherwise they will only get hurt. And this kind of loss of value is a lifelong thing.
And it can easily become the fuse of conflicts after marriage.
The husband feels a thorn in his heart whenever he thinks of the scar. This has nothing to do with love or tolerance. It has to do with human nature.
It’s like we spend a lot of money to buy a luxury item, only to find out that it has been used by someone else. Is it possible not to return it to the merchant?
The girl's surgical marks will make her 'price reduction'.
"There will definitely be scars, but I did a scarless suture for her. As long as she is properly maintained and recovers well, the scars will become very light in two to three years. In addition, she is still very young, so it should not cause too much trouble to her future marriage life. But we can't be too optimistic, we still have to be mentally prepared."
There are some things Zhou Can cannot say openly.
If the girl's mother thinks that the scar is hard to spot without a close look, hiding it from her future husband may not work.
It may sow the seeds of greater disaster.
"thank you!"
The girl's mother was extremely grateful to Zhou Can.
If Zhou Can had not keenly discovered that her daughter might be bleeding heavily at that time, she would not dare to imagine the consequences now.
The girl on the hospital bed was crying silently.
It's quite sympathetic to watch.
"Please comfort your daughter! I should go check the next bed."
What Zhou Can is worst at is comforting female patients.
