A doctor who travels through two eras

Lin Sanqi held the microphone and looked at the group of medical elites below the stage, each of them looking like a robot making money for him.

Medicine has always been an empirical discipline that requires human intervention, not machines or AI.

"Good morning, fellow practitioners. I believe many of you have met me before, while some may not. Let me briefly introduce myself."

I am the owner of this New Lingnan Hospital. It is a sole proprietorship with no other shareholders, so from now on, everyone only needs to be responsible to me.

In addition, my family comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners; my father was a famous doctor of the Lingnan School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but I personally have a background in Western medicine.

Buying this hospital is partly to realize my medical ambitions, such as building Lingnan Hospital into a world-class hospital.

Secondly, we also want to use this hospital as an experimental and teaching hospital for new drugs and surgical procedures, while also further helping our family create wealth.

Don't worry, everyone. My boss will make a fortune and he will definitely not let you down. From now on, we are all one family, and we will share both prosperity and adversity.

Perhaps you think I, this capitalist dog, am just making empty promises. After all, what boss doesn't exploit their employees? At most, the boss eats the meat, and the employees drink the soup.

"I have some good news to share. Starting this month, everyone here will receive a 50% salary increase."

As soon as he finished speaking, a heated discussion broke out in the conference room. The Hong Kong doctors, who had just been listless, suddenly turned red in the face and became excited.

Everyone likes money.

Especially in Hong Kong's money-driven society, whoever pays the piper calls the tune. You can kneel down and call someone "daddy" if you pay them. (Joseph Lau smiled without saying a word)
After everyone quieted down a bit, Lin Sanqi continued:

"Please rest assured, everyone. The salary increase is just the beginning, not the end. In the future, doubling or even multiplying your income will be a piece of cake."

"As long as all colleagues work together to maintain Lingnan Hospital, I, as your boss, will be very generous and willing to offer you the highest salaries in Hong Kong, so you won't regret staying at Lingnan Hospital."

The expected exciting scene did not occur. As soon as Lin Sanqi finished speaking, many Hong Kong doctors began to worry.

Lin Sanqi found it a bit strange and called out to the audience:
"Dr. Ye Chengkai, do you not believe my promise of a raise? Or do you have some concerns?"

Ye Chengkai stood up hesitantly, cleared his throat, and then spoke frankly:
"Boss, the top three hospitals in Hong Kong right now—Queen Mary Hospital, Prince of Windsor Hospital, and Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital—are all on Hong Kong Island. At the same time, Hong Kong Island is also the focus of Hong Kong's tycoons and high-ranking officials."

These three hospitals boast the best locations in Hong Kong, the most advanced medical equipment, and the best doctors. They never have to worry about patients, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they make a fortune every day.

Although our predecessor, Ormond Hospital, had advanced medical facilities, its business was always lukewarm because of its remote location in Kowloon.

The company had been unable to turn a profit for ten years after opening, which is why the Belomond Consortium withdrew.

Boss, I've heard of your Lingnan Hall Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic. It's top-notch in the TCM field and always packed with patients, so it's understandable that you're confident in the development of the TCM department.

However, Western medicine is completely different from traditional Chinese medicine. We lack a foundation, specialized departments, and distinctive clinics, and therefore have no unique advantages.

So, on behalf of all my colleagues, I'd like to ask the boss, where do our future advantages lie?

Lin Sanqi clapped his hands gently and praised:
"Okay, I like employees like you who speak frankly and raise questions. This open and honest communication helps build mutual trust in the shortest amount of time and avoids misjudgments."

Please believe me, I spent HK$100 million to acquire Ormond Hospital, which is an astronomical sum. Do you think I would joke around with my own money? That's why I'm more serious about running a hospital than people from Putian.

As for where my confidence comes from, and what Lingnan Hospital's trump card will be in the future, I can now reveal the answer to everyone.

After Lin Sanqi finished speaking, he gestured to Feng Shiqi.

A few moments later, several nurses pushed in five boxes of medicine and a large pile of documents, an action that immediately caught the attention of the doctors present.

The five boxes of medicine contain three antibiotics: cefuroxime, azithromycin, and moxifloxacin, as well as one stomach medicine (omeprazole) and one antipyretic and analgesic (ibuprofen).

In fact, Lin Sanqi wanted to also bring out the four secret medicine formulas, such as "Duanxue Liu" for emergency treatment and Anying Niuhuang Wan for treating brain resuscitation and malignant fever.

However, the elite class in Hong Kong who have received Western education have very rigid thinking and generally take a negative attitude towards traditional Chinese medicine, and their attitude is firm.

Therefore, Lin Sanqi did not want to create any unnecessary complications and planned to gradually implement the clinical "integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine" plan when the opportunity arose in the future.

After the pretty nurses distributed the materials and medicines, Lin Sanqi finally spoke: "I believe that in the past month, everyone has heard many advertisements from major newspapers and radio stations announcing the grand launch of our new medicines at the opening of Lingnan Hall."

The three antibiotics mentioned in the advertisements as being 100 times more effective than penicillin are examples of this.

New Lingnan Hospital previously spent a fortune on advertising in local Hong Kong media.

Anyway, there are no advertising laws to restrict advertising these days. What is not prohibited by law is permitted, so naturally, the five new drugs owned by Lingnan Hospital were touted as miraculous.

For example, three antibacterial drugs can kill all bacteria and cure all infections; they are epoch-making drugs for mankind.

For example, omeprazole, one pill a day, treats stomach problems, helps people say goodbye to stomach pain, and restores a healthy digestive system.

For example, one ibuprofen tablet can reduce fever in half an hour and also treat headaches, toothaches, muscle pain, joint pain, menstrual cramps, and all kinds of pain. One tablet is effective.

These advertisements, which made such confident and unequivocal promises, coupled with the brainwashing effect of ad over entire pages, instantly attracted the attention of the entire Hong Kong population.

Meanwhile, the doctors at New Lingnan Hospital have also attracted strong attention.

Doctors who felt the hospital owner was just bragging and that this was not in line with the spirit of science chose to resign, refusing to associate with capitalists who lacked medical ethics.

The remaining doctors were either of average skill level or had no other hospitals willing to take them in.

They are either inherently conservative and unwilling to leave their comfort zone to start a new business or change jobs.

In short, almost all those who left were the elite of the elite, while those who remained were honest people with little ambition, which was exactly what Lin Sanqi had hoped for.

He likes honest people who are easy to control and who do whatever he says.

The so-called elites like to question you in a self-righteous way, always wanting to change the plans you make in order to show their difference, they are insubordinate to management, and they always say things like "If they don't want me here, there are plenty of other places that will."

Lin Sanqi needs a tool, not a living father.

Therefore, Lin Sanqi allowed those so-called elite doctors to leave without making things difficult for them.

Otherwise, given Commissioner Lin's current capabilities, arranging for a few veterans to sink all these doctors to the bottom of the sea or make them victims under dump trucks would be an easy task.

This is also a common practice among Hong Kong tycoons to control their lower-level employees; triads are like black gloves.

"I have included instructions with the medications you have. You are all professional doctors, so you can understand the effects and efficacy of these medications by looking at the instructions."

Without Lin Sanqi needing to explain further, the scene was already filled with the rustling sound of paper being opened on the sand, as the doctors couldn't wait to see what the so-called "miracle drug" was.
Most people read the instruction manual with a sense of skepticism.

As a result, when the instruction manual was opened, laymen saw only the spectacle, while experts saw the intricacies.

The instructions above all use Western standard templates, which are more detailed, accurate, and scientific than the instructions for any drug of this era.

The ingredients, properties, indications, dosage and administration, adverse reactions, contraindications, precautions, pharmacological effects, storage conditions, etc. are all listed in detail.

The instruction manual contains both the required data and the necessary formulas.

Expert doctors could tell at a glance that these Western medicines were definitely not fake; the experimental data was very solid, and they seemed to be made from genuine ingredients.

At this moment, Lin Sanqi's voice rang out again:

"The reason why these five drugs were not released in advance is because there are still some legal issues regarding the patents of these drugs. In order to prevent the leakage of secrets and their exploitation by malicious individuals, we waited until the patents officially took effect before daring to release them."

We are all doctors, and we know that drug imitation is not too difficult. Although our drugs use a completely new process, making imitation difficult, there is always a chance of something going wrong.

Now I'll take out the medicine; everyone can just prescribe it according to the instructions.

For example, we are all professional doctors, and we can make our own judgments about which bacteria an antibiotic kills and which diseases it is more effective against. We just need to pay attention to contraindications and side effects.

Now you all understand, right? In the future, the "Infectious Diseases Department" will be a specialty outpatient department of our Lingnan Hospital. With this one advantage, not only will we be invincible throughout Hong Kong, but we probably have no rivals in the entire world right now. (End of Chapter)
