"Dr. Zhao, if you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought about the medical equipment company."

Li Haiyang looked at Zhao Heng and said.

Since it's the latest spinal analgesic device that Eastern Hospital is using, the medical equipment company will definitely promote it as a model for new product usage, so cost reduction can naturally be negotiated.

It's just that Li Haiyang hadn't thought along those lines, and previously, no doctor had done something like this for patients.

Doctors usually dislike dealing with medical equipment sales.

But, to be fair, sometimes these salespeople are quite useful.

"If you can shave some wool off the medical equipment company, why not do it?"

Zhao Heng smiled and said to Li Haiyang.

Most of the time, the huge medical expenses that patients have to bear are primarily due to the use of expensive imported medical equipment.

"Hmm, Dr. Zhao, you sure know how to handle things."

Li Haiyang also smiled and said. He had the same impression about medical equipment companies.

In this regard, all doctors share the same perspective.

"Dr. Zhao, I'll trouble you with the puncture and installation later. I'll bring in the spinal analgesic device under the oncology department's name, and once it's in, you take care of it."

Li Haiyang paused and added.

Li Haiyang decided this to reduce Zhao Heng's hassle.

Since it was initiated by Li Haiyang, if Zhao Heng also had to contact the medical equipment company to negotiate cost reductions, then Li Haiyang would have wasted all these years.

Besides, he was looking out for Zhao Heng, who was still young and not yet adept at dealing with medical equipment companies.

Li Haiyang, on the other hand, was different. Each year, the oncology department consumes a staggering amount of medical equipment, especially chemotherapy drugs.

Naturally, he had more dealings with medical equipment companies.

"Alright."

Zhao Heng nodded.

When the equipment arrived, he would do the puncture and installation, which was indeed the most efficient and time-saving method for Zhao Heng.

He really didn't have much time to wrangle with the medical equipment companies.

Coming out of the oncology department, Zhao Heng headed straight to Gao Jun's office.

Sitting on the couch in Gao Jun's office, drinking tea, Zhao Heng talked with Gao Jun about the matter in the oncology department.

After speaking, Zhao Heng looked at Gao Jun, wanting to know his thoughts on the matter.

People react differently; some leaders might consider Zhao Heng to be meddling.

"Hmm, this is a good thing, both internally and externally. However, our anesthesia department can also contact the medical equipment company."

Gao Jun contemplated a moment before responding.

"Dr. Li handles these matters himself, perhaps because he sees you as young and wants to prevent you from being swindled by medical equipment sales."

Gao Jun paused and then jokingly said.

The anesthesia and perioperative center was about to be established, requiring a lot of medical equipment. During this period, countless high-level figures from medical equipment companies wanted to dine with Gao Jun.

Negotiating cost reductions for the latest medical equipment was just a word for Gao Jun.

"I didn't really think about it that much; this was suggested by Dr. Li, and I just thought it would be best to focus on the puncture and installation."

Zhao Heng slowly said; he didn't overthink.

"Thinking this way is correct too; since Dr. Li suggested it, he should take care of all the arrangements."

Gao Jun nodded; Zhao Heng having this awareness was indeed commendable.

Helping others is good, but sometimes boundaries must be clear; one shouldn't become a people pleaser.

Whoever's duty it is should handle it!

"Once the oncology department contacts the medical equipment company, you take a look at which company's equipment we'll use and finalize it. Conveniently, we also need to bring in some spinal analgesic devices for our side, so let's handle both matters together. I'll discuss this with Director Liu from the oncology department later."

Gao Jun paused and contemplated for a moment before adding.

"Alright, teacher."

Zhao Heng nodded; Gao Jun's seamless execution of things was truly impressive, and Zhao Heng had much to learn in this area.

Taking cues from individual occurrences and considering the larger framework, Gao Jun was born to be a leader.

"Focus on this matter, familiarize yourself with the reviewing and overseeing of medical equipment, as you'll need to take more responsibility in this area in the future."

Gao Jun continued.

"Teacher, let's not do that..."

"Managing emergencies in different departments, writing papers, and now reviewing and overseeing medical equipment... even splitting myself in half wouldn't be enough, sir."

Upon hearing Gao Jun wanting to add responsibilities, Zhao Heng couldn't help but complain bitterly.

Right now, Gao Jun seemed to be assigning everything onto him!

"Who else but you? Alright, quit whining. Following me, you need to be prepared for hard work."

Seeing Zhao Heng's complaining demeanor, Gao Jun smiled.

Zhao Heng was skilled and reliable, and as someone Gao Jun had personally mentored, the reviewing and overseeing of medical equipment should naturally be entrusted to him.

However, this was also a noteworthy anecdote.

In other departments, people would fight tooth and nail for the task of reviewing and overseeing medical equipment.

Yet in this anesthesiology department, Gao Jun had to forcefully assign it to Zhao Heng.

"Fine..."

Zhao Heng nodded; he felt like the number of tasks piling up on him was endless.

"In a hospital, expertise is crucial, but it isn't everything; sometimes interpersonal relations and conduct are equally vital."

Gao Jun earnestly stated again.

He intended to highly cultivate Zhao Heng; if cultivated well, Zhao Heng's eventual growth would be an unparalleled asset to him.

Additionally, since Xu Man Ni was already with Zhao Heng, Zhao Heng and Gao Jun would soon share not only a student-teacher relationship but also a familial bond.

Moreover, their scopes differed completely, so no matter how far they ascended, their paths would complement each other.

"Hmm."

Zhao Heng nodded.

Upon leaving Gao Jun's office, Zhao Heng abruptly realized.

He intended just to discuss this matter briefly, but he ended up with more tasks added onto him.

Even after returning to the doctor's office, Zhao Heng felt like he was moving further down the road of being a workhorse.

Entering the office, Xu Man Ni noticed Zhao Heng's expression and couldn't help asking, "What's up with you? Did Old Gao scold you?"

"I wish that were the case; instead, he piled more tasks on me."

Zhao Heng said helplessly, feeling that the time available each day was genuinely insufficient now.

"What did he add to your plate again?"

Xu Man Ni asked with a smile.

"Medical equipment review and oversight..."

Zhao Heng said with a grimace.

"You have no idea how in other departments, people would brawl fiercely over this task. Yet you have it forced onto you."

Xu Man Ni found Zhao Heng's expression amusing and said.
