After checking the equipment in the pathology department, Zhao Heng returned to the office. Just at that moment, Gao Jun was also in the office. Seeing Zhao Heng enter, Gao Jun asked Zhao Heng, "How's the equipment?"

"It's alright, basically still usable."

Zhao Heng replied.

"Those devices were bought five years ago with a huge investment from the hospital. If it weren't for the successful collaboration with Professor Li Hongwei before, we wouldn't have even been able to apply for them."

Gao Jun said with a smile.

"Yes, actually this equipment isn't outdated even now. Although it's a bit lacking for research, it's still more than adequate for clinical treatment."

Zhao Heng said.

Even if it's equipment bought five years ago and already shelved, it's not something that can be used just like that. If it weren't for Zhao Heng inviting Professor Li Hongwei from Yanjing University this time, it's uncertain whether they could have applied for the use of this equipment.

"In terms of stem cell therapy, the situation is now opened up. From now on, this area will rely entirely on you."

Gao Jun said with a bit of emotion.

Although the main focus of the Anesthesiology and Perioperative Center is anesthesia, perioperative recovery, and critical emergency care, expanding into new treatment fields and services is also a great development.

Sometimes, it's not necessary to follow the path others have taken.

Obviously, what Zhao Heng is doing now, whether it's the implantation of intrathecal analgesic devices, the development of anesthesia assistants, or the recent advancements in arousal and stem cell therapy, and now tumor biotherapy, these fields are all very cutting-edge with a very promising application future.

It can be said that, in the future, the main concern is training more relevant talents. As of now, the department is already a bit overwhelmed.

"We still need to train more doctors. No matter how capable I am, if I'm one person with three heads and six arms, how much can I do?"

Zhao Heng shook his head slightly.

He alone indeed has limited energy and time. Even with the support of the system, he can sleep only a few hours a day, devoting all other time to work, but it's still not enough.

"Yes, I just ran into Director Liu from the Tumor Department. He said the patients wanting to undergo intrathecal analgesic device implantation are already scheduled for a month later."

Gao Jun nodded, training talents is indeed the priority. No matter how formidable Zhao Heng is, he's still just one person, and it's impossible to handle everything alone.

"Maybe I should talk to the medical department to assign a batch of resident doctors for training. We can assess them later, and those who fit can stay. The center still has quite a few contract-based positions."

Gao Jun paused and thought about it. Attracting people from other departments is indeed difficult, and since the center focuses on leading-edge technology, doctors from other departments aren't skilled in these areas.

It's better to bring in some young people and train them from the ground up.

"That sounds feasible."

Zhao Heng nodded.

"Xiao Zhao, have you registered for the graduate school entrance exam? You should address the issue of your academic qualifications promptly."

Gao Jun further advised Zhao Heng.

Even though Zhao Heng's level is already very high, his bachelor's degree remains a limitation. It's hard to present himself to others, especially when the pillar of one's department is still an undergraduate.

"Yes, I have registered."

Zhao Heng replied.

"That's good. The exam certainly won't be a problem for you; it's just a matter of balancing your studies and clinical work. Although I think Professor Huang wouldn't assign you too many academic tasks, given your level now isn't much different from that of an associate professor or even a professor. What's lacking is your experience."

Gao Jun considered Zhao Heng's future. Naturally, the better Zhao Heng becomes, the better for him since Zhao Heng is now unquestionably his top performer.

Originally, Gao Jun would need several years before officially becoming Director.

However, with Zhao Heng's consecutive notable achievements, the newly established center quickly cemented its footing in the industry.

Gao Jun is now considering that when he becomes the Director in a few years, Zhao Heng would certainly become the Deputy Director, so he pays great attention to Zhao Heng's academic qualifications.

After all, the Deputy Director of the Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine Center at Eastern Hospital cannot possibly be someone with just a bachelor's degree.

"Are you confident about the tumor on bed four?"

Gao Jun asked again.

"The primitive neuroectodermal tumor is highly malignant, we can only give it a try."

Zhao Heng shook his head slightly. For such a highly malignant tumor, it's doubtful that any doctor worldwide could say they are entirely confident.

What Zhao Heng could do is to use various treatment methods to inhibit tumor growth, or even shrink the tumor, then perform a radical operation, to earn a survival chance for the patient.

"Director Liu from the Tumor Department is quite focused on you. You should consult him more regarding the treatment of primitive neuroectodermal tumors."

Gao Jun said.

"Yes, Dr. Li is already formulating the chemotherapy plan."

Zhao Heng nodded. Liu Shangming in the Tumor Department is considered a major figure in the field, holding several patents related to tumor treatment.

As for Li Haiyang, he's considered Liu Shangming's close disciple.

"Li Haiyang? Well, that's good, it's basically equivalent to Director Liu personally formulating the chemotherapy plan."

Gao Jun nodded with satisfaction. In the hospital, working alone certainly doesn't work. Modern medicine emphasizes teamwork, and no matter how skilled, there's much one cannot achieve alone.

Zhao Heng does quite well in this regard, maintaining good relations with doctors from various departments, especially with someone like Liu Ziang, who has become a very close colleague.

"Teacher, can we apply for the medical assistance fund from the hospital?"

Zhao Heng asked again.

Even though he asked journalist Wei Wei to promote through the media, having a medical assistance fund from the hospital would be even better.

"There is, but as you know, there are too many patients in need. We can only subsidize some treatment and bed fees. Most of it relies on social aid channels."

Gao Jun naturally was aware of the situation in bed four, that is, the girl Miaomiao, and he supported Zhao Heng's attempt to pursue social aid channels via a journalist.

But as he said, there are just too many patients needing help, and it's a matter of helping as much as they can.

"Every little bit helps. The cost of tumor treatment is indeed a heavy burden for ordinary families."

Zhao Heng said with some emotion, but there's nothing he can do to change the situation, so he can only do his best.

Using the most economical means to cure the patient is the most Zhao Heng can do.

"You've already done a great job."

Gao Jun said to Zhao Heng.
