Chapter 500 363: Medical Aid to the Countryside, Setting Out

Leaving the vice president's office, Qin Feng had a wry smile on his face.

Because Yuan Bin approached him not with good news, but with a task.

Medical outreach to rural areas!

The authorities selected the emergency departments of four top-tier hospitals in Beijing to each form a medical team for a 15-day rural medical assistance mission, and Peking Union Medical College Hospital was on the list.

And currently, the emergency department has two directors, meaning the team leader can only be chosen between him and Director Dong Hao.

Director Dong is already in his forties and suffers from high blood pressure, cervical spondylosis, and other health issues.

So that leaves Qin Feng as the only choice.

Without a doubt, he has to personally lead the team for this medical outreach mission.

As for the rural destination, Peking Union Medical College Hospital has been assigned to a village in Da Liang Mountain, Sichuan.

Departure, 3 days later.

"Director Qin, what's the matter?"

Upon returning to the office, Zhang Qingquan noticed that something was off with Qin Feng and asked quietly.

"Nothing, I'll talk about it during the meeting tonight."

Qin Feng shook his head and replied with a faint smile.

The emergency department is already short-staffed, and now they have to allocate five people to form a medical team, which is indeed quite challenging.

In the afternoon, after treating a few patients, two name lists were finalized, with one as a backup.

In the evening handover meeting, all medical staff gathered in the conference room.

"Alright, beds 3, 5, 6 in the observation ward need enhanced care, and if conditions worsen over the next few days, transfer them to the corresponding departments.

Transfer other eligible patients to normal wards as soon as possible to alleviate our emergency department's pressure.

Dr. Zhang Qingquan, you will be temporarily responsible for this."

After listening to the report, Director Dong Hao spoke.

"Director, isn't this Director Qin's job?"

Hearing this, Zhang Qingquan was stunned for a moment, looked at Qin Feng, and asked curiously.

"Director Qin has other matters coming up next. Qin Feng, why don't you explain?"

Director Dong Hao looked over with a smile.

"Alright."

Qin Feng nodded, then took out two pieces of paper,

"We've received instructions from the higher-ups and the hospital; our Peking Union Medical College Hospital's emergency department needs to form a small medical team to participate in this rural medical service.

The current plan is for five members. I have two temporarily drafted lists here, and I will discuss them with you later.

This medical team will be led by me, for a period of 15 days, at Da Liang Mountain in Sichuan.

I need to clarify some aspects with you in advance, especially the advantages and disadvantages. If you have thoughts, you can approach me tomorrow.

...

Afterward, Qin Feng provided a brief overview of the document contents, mainly about the basic details of this trip, the challenges, and the allowances.

He openly and fairly presented the matter for everyone to consider before finally deciding on the team members.

"Alright, that's all regarding the medical team situation. You can take some time to think it over when you return."

A few minutes later, Qin Feng concluded the meeting by saying,

"Also, I have prepared a little surprise for our medical team; I hope everyone enthusiastically signs up for it.

That's it, Director Dong, anything to add?"

"I have nothing more, let's get to work."

Director Dong Hao shook his head, then clapped his hands and said.

At this point, everyone felt both surprised and curious.

Because in the past, for tasks like this, the leaders would usually discuss and finalize the list, then proceed directly without any issues.

Doctors and nurses typically had little choice; after all, it's a task, and there's no room for negotiation, as nobody wants to offend the leadership.

But for the first time, Qin Feng made the task public and encouraged everyone to sign up.

It's important to know that very few people want to go on such tasks; medical support comes in many forms, and rural medical outreach is the one everyone rejects.

It's tough work, without any additional credit or pay, and the allowance isn't enough compensation.

However, this time, as soon as they left the conference room, a group of nurses gathered in small groups to discuss.

"You're on the draft list this time, are you going?"

"I don't know, it's a long trip, and it's so far in Sichuan."

"You don't want to go? Great! Then let me have it!"

"Xiaoying, I can go for you; we're good sisters after all!"

"What do you mean by this? Why does everyone want to go?"

Hearing her two companions, Nurse Ye Ying stared at them in confusion.

"But that's Director Qin! The hospital's most handsome and youngest director, and there's a surprise too!"

"Yes, what a rare opportunity to go out with Director Qin."

"With you saying this, I kind of want to go too~"

...

Ye Ying listened to their comments, feeling speechless.

How infatuated can they be?

Normally, when hearing about such hard tasks, everyone avoids it faster than the next, no one wanting to suffer, and ultimately it leads to being assigned.

But now, with Director Qin personally leading the team, who usually treats everyone well, the goodwill is at its peak.

So, though they didn't voice it, their enthusiasm was quite high, because when Qin Feng needs them, they won't hesitate.

Plus, with the so-called surprise, it's not just the young nurses; even Han Xiaoxiao and a few female doctors are interested, pestering Qin Feng at the back.

"Director Qin, what's the surprise~"

"Enough, enough, a surprise is a surprise, if you want to know, just join me, hehe~"

"I'm off duty, see you!"

After saying that, Qin Feng disappeared in a flash and drove home.

...

The next day,

"Old Zheng, this surgery is quite challenging, your Vascular Team is key."

"Don't worry, Director Shen, I'll personally oversee this one."

"Director Qin, what are your thoughts on this surgery?"

In the meeting room, Qin Feng watched the video call in front of him and heard Shen Biao's inquiry.

"Director Shen, I think your plan is excellent, and for now, it's the most suitable. I have no new ideas."

"Hehe~ Director Qin, I know you well; don't hold back."

On the other side, Cardiothoracic Surgery Director Shen Biao laughed.

"Uh"

Qin Feng couldn't help but touch his nose and replied with a helpless smile,

"Director Shen, regarding this aortic dissection, I think if we could replace all the heart and thoracic vessels, wouldn't that reduce subsequent surgical procedures and patient suffering?"

"I agree with your idea, but it also carries high risks."

Upon hearing this, Shen Biao pondered for a moment,

"Director Zheng, we can study this proposal."

After ending the consultation, Qin Feng started one-on-one discussions.

He also declined Shen Biao's invitation to participate in the surgery, focusing on preparing the medical team.

Time flew by, and the next day the team list was finalized, and basic medical equipment prepared.

For this group of five, Qin Feng decided to take Liu Chang and Han Xiaoxiao. Initially, he didn't want to take Han Xiaoxiao, as she was married and had children.

But Han Xiaoxiao had a supportive family, a strong willingness, and excellent skills.

Considering that after reaching the rural area, there might be issues specific to women, having a female doctor would be more practical.

As for the nurses, there was enthusiastic registration, especially from the single ones.

"Director, the list is finalized."

Qin Feng walked into the director's office and handed the list to Dong Hao.

"Alright, you've chosen the right people, I've already discussed with Qingquan about the department's matters, so you don't need to worry."

Director Dong Hao glanced at the list, nodded, and smiled,

"You're gone for half a month, everything alright at home?"

"Uh, no problem, no problem, hehe~"

Qin Feng replied with a faint smile.

He already informed Liu Yan'Er last night, and all the luggage was packed.

"That's good, go and return safely."

Director Dong Hao advised.

Leaving the director's office, he had a brief chat with Yuan Bin at the hospital.

On the third day,

Qin Feng and the medical team, with luggage in tow, were ready to set out for Sichuan, the destination of this journey.
