"In that case, exchanging treatment experiences becomes useless."
Zhao Heng said.
"It's not entirely useless. At the very least, it allows those from H Country to see that we have indeed cured a patient with a Fusarium infection, which makes it easier to discuss the preparation of the nano formulation later on."
Seeing that Zhao Heng still didn't understand, Gao Jun slowly explained.
"I get it now."
Zhao Heng nodded. He understood.
With Gao Jun's words, Zhao Heng suddenly realized that international relations are such that without a multifaceted mind, one simply cannot participate!
"Prepare yourself. The video consultation will be in two hours, and the department leaders and experts will also be present then."
Gao Jun instructed Zhao Heng.
As a doctor, saving lives is one aspect. However, making an appearance before department leaders in charge of healthcare has undeniable benefits for a doctor.
"Alright."
Zhao Heng nodded. Although he preferred to focus on improving his skills, doctors are still human, subject to social dynamics and management by higher authorities. So, while Zhao Heng didn't like these matters, he didn't object to them.
"Teacher, Director, I'll go prepare."
Zhao Heng stood up, addressing Gao Jun and the director.
"Okay, you go ahead, Xiao Zhao. I believe you can perform well this time. Making a good impression on the department leaders can be beneficial for your future development."
The director earnestly advised Zhao Heng. Mention of leaders might annoy young people, but in reality, while one doesn't need to flatter leaders, maintaining good relationships is essential.
After leaving Gao Jun's office, Zhao Heng returned to the ward office.
Upon his return, Liu Meng noticed Zhao Heng's expressionless demeanor and couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Zhao, what did the director want to talk to you about?"
Curious about Liu Meng's question, Li Yang also looked at Zhao Heng with interest.
Everyone at Eastern Hospital knew that Gao Jun, the deputy director, could not be seen as just any deputy director, or even director for that matter.
After all, Gao Jun's background was simply too strong!
It's evident from the fact that everyone calls Gao Jun the director instead of deputy director.
In everyone's eyes, it was only a matter of time before Gao Jun became the director. Although Professor Huang Guangyu was the director, he was effectively an honorary director paving the way for Gao Jun.
"There's a video consultation in two hours, and I'm supposed to prepare."
Zhao Heng said briefly.
"Video consultation? With whom?"
Liu Meng asked, still curious.
Generally speaking, Eastern Hospital's video consultation requests usually come from subordinate hospitals.
After all, sometimes the experience of experts from superior hospitals is crucial.
"H Country."
Zhao Heng said calmly.
"What? With H Country, regarding the treatment of Fusarium? Is the situation over there that severe?"
Liu Meng said in astonishment. H Country is a developed nation with strong healthcare systems. It's improbable they would request a consultation if they had solutions.
This shows that the Brain-Eating Amoeba infection on Jeju Island was putting unprecedented pressure on H Country.
This wasn't just about affecting Jeju Island's tourism; if mishandled, it could impact the national tourism market, especially international tourism.
"After all, globally, there's no effective method for treating Fusarium infections. H Country's helplessness is quite normal."
Li Yang said, seemingly unsurprised.
Although H Country is a developed country, its population base is much smaller than ours, so its experience in diagnosing and treating rare diseases is undoubtedly less than ours.
As for plastic surgery technology and such, it can only be said that there's a specialization in every field.
"This is a two-country consultation, Dr. Zhao, you have quite the opportunity to shine."
Liu Meng said with a hint of envy.
In the medical field, reputation, status, and influence matter—a two-country medical consultation, especially as the main facilitator, is a lifetime achievement for many chief doctors.
After this consultation, Zhao Heng would surely become renowned throughout the national medical community.
In discussions, people would rave about how, when H Country was at a loss, a young doctor from Eastern Hospital stepped up, providing an effective treatment method, saving many patients' lives, etc.
Although the lives saved were H Country citizens, in a sense, they were still people!
"We just don't know how many are infected in H Country now."
Li Yang suddenly said.
"The director's data shows more than ten, but it's not accurate. Given Jeju Island's tourist volume, I think the number of infected patients is more than that."
Zhao Heng shook his head slightly.
"We've only had one patient infected here, which is quite strange, considering many people travel to Jeju Island."
Li Yang remarked.
"Maybe the Fusarium-infected waters are in some remote place only locals visit."
Zhao Heng speculated.
Only one domestic infection is a good thing. As for H Country citizens, Zhao Heng could only wish them the best.
Nano formulation preparation is a highly confidential biotech in every country and cannot be easily shared.
It's anticipated that this time, H Country will have to make significant concessions. The arrogant Cosmic Country citizens might finally taste nature's wrath.
Fusarium, this type of amoeba, is not easily infecting humans. This infection outbreak is likely related to H Country's poor water management.
At the very least, the water containing Fusarium is a severely polluted area, giving this rare amoeba a survival environment and conditions.
"I agree."
Liu Meng nodded, stating.
"I previously considered going to Jeju Island with my best friend during the holidays, but now I'm too scared."
Taking a pause, Liu Meng added, remorseful.
There are countless beautiful islands and rainforests across the homeland, rivaling Jeju Island's natural environment. There's really no need to flock to Jeju Island.
Also, H Country's cuisine severely lacks variety, especially meat, which is exorbitantly priced.
"It's best not to go during this period; local travel should suffice."
Zhao Heng advised.
"Dr. Li, Dr. Liu, you should also attend this consultation later."
After a pause, Zhao Heng continued.
Having Li Yang and Liu Meng attend was normal, as they're doctors from his ward. Opportunities to gain exposure like this aren't always available.
"We get to attend too?"
Li Yang and Liu Meng exchanged glances, thrilled.
"Every department head can attend, each bringing one individual, but since I'm the main speaker, bringing an extra person should be fine."
Zhao Heng said.
The attendance of department heads was merely to show importance; otherwise, Zhao Heng could handle the consultation alone.
"Oh, that's wonderful! To be honest, I've attended many consultations but never one of this high level between two countries."
Liu Meng said happily, and Li Yang, usually composed and calm, also appeared pleased.
At that moment, they felt Zhao Heng was genuinely kind to them, willing to bring them to such prominent occasions.
"This consultation is just a formality. The detailed treatment plan has already been sent, and everything necessary is included."
Zhao Heng remarked nonchalantly. After Gao Jun and the director's explanations, he no longer had high expectations for this high-level, two-country consultation. It was merely procedural.
Though procedural, it still had to be done. Discussions must progress step by step; H Country couldn't simply demand nano formulation preparation technology upfront.
Doing so would make H Country's relevant departments foolish.
Such international interactions involve intricate diplomacy, not merely a standalone tech provision.
