I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

Being an excellent doctor is not just about treating patients; there is a lot of learning and research to be done.

In the short three months that followed, after the paper was published and gained temporary fame, no more voices of doubt could be heard, at least in the hospital.

As a young surgeon, there is no doubt about Tomoya Aki's ability to perform surgery.

From the moment the paper was published, there were some doubts from the outside world, some people thought that the operation called "commando" might be fake.

There are discussions not only from outside but also within the hospital.

Needless to say, everyone in the department knows the situation, but others may not know the same, so it was also discussed by Tomoya Aki.

But none of this matters. What matters is that after three months of growth, he finally got a promotion and a raise.

Although it's just a title, and it's in a private hospital, it's better than nothing.

The result of three months is that Tomoya Aki has at least two papers that can be published, but the effectiveness of the papers cannot be guaranteed.

Naturally, there is still some distance before one can truly grow into a well-established surgeon.

At the same time, the VIP patients received in the department, or those VIPs treated by Yoshida Aoba, are more likely to accept the fact that Aki Tomoya is the main operator.

At the same time, Aki Tomoya had some new ideas.

When it comes to development in the cardiac field, we are not just focusing on cardiovascular or valves, but want to explore multiple areas.

At the same time, some heart disease patients do not just have heart problems, which also allowed Aki Tomoya to start dabbling in other fields.

After all, sometimes even if the heart is cured, the patient still has problems elsewhere, and if these are not taken into consideration, it can be a big trouble.

During this period, it is necessary to consider whether the treatment will have other effects, such as complications, and consult with doctors from other departments to discuss a complete treatment plan.

The further he moves forward, the more he realizes that there is a lot to learn.

At the same time, when he was the chief surgeon, he also heard about many amazing surgical procedures and thought about giving them a try.

Among them, what interests Tomoya Aki most is the surgical robot, which can perform minimally invasive surgery that reduces the burden on patients and surgery without the use of extracorporeal circulation.

However, there is a very embarrassing thing. Kanto General Hospital does not have a surgical robot. It is not because it is expensive and cannot afford it, but because it is not needed and cannot be used.

This is different from university hospitals. In addition to symbolizing authority in Japan, university hospitals are also responsible for training and researching new medical methods.

Cutting-edge things, such as the National University Hospital affiliated to the University of Tokyo, naturally have everything, after all, it is sponsored by the state,

"I miscalculated. Our hospital doesn't even have a surgical robot."

Tomoya Aki has a strong desire to perform a heart surgery using a surgical robot.

As medicine develops, this will definitely be one of the important directions, including the application of AI in medicine.

"You make me wonder if a medical representative has come to you!"

Thinking that he could make achievements in the field of surgical robots, Tomoya Aki naturally found Yoshida Aoba as soon as possible and asked him if his hospital had this thing.

Although Kanto General Hospital is wealthy, it has never purchased anything like this.

When Yoshida Aoba suddenly heard Aki Tomoya talking about surgical robots, he thought for a moment that the other party had been approached by a medical representative.

Every hospital has medical representatives, but Kanto General Hospital has fixed partners, and ordinary medical representatives cannot come in at all.

He was very afraid that Akitomo had received kickbacks from some medical representative, which was why he came to tell him about the surgical robot.

"Dr. Yoshida, who do you think I am? I am not short of money right now, but I never thought that such a good hospital like ours would not have a surgical robot."

Aki Tomoya started to explain.

Kanto General Hospital is one of the top private hospitals, but it did not expect that it would have something like a surgical robot.

"We can't use this thing, so how can the hospital buy it? It's not suitable for most patients. And most importantly, the focus of private hospitals is not on scientific research. It's not to say that there are no private hospitals that buy it, but we will definitely not consider it for the time being. At least we have to wait until the university hospital matures before the hospital will consider it."

The primary consideration for private hospitals is profit. They are not like national medical institutions or university hospitals, which are strongly supported by the state and use national finances to support their research.

When the technology at university hospitals matures one day, they will naturally consider this aspect in order not to fall behind.

But now, there is basically no show.

"Our department is made up of people who came from university hospitals. It's a complete university hospital's Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, but it turns out that this is the extent of it..."

Chapter 501: Advancing with the Times

In Tomoya Aki's opinion, the staffing and capabilities of the Kanto General Hospital's cardiac surgery department are no worse than those of any university hospital's cardiac surgery department.

I thought that most of them started out from the University of Tokyo, Jung University, and Keio University, and most of them came from the affiliated hospitals of the former university medical schools.

If it weren't for the atmosphere here, at first glance, one would really think this is the medical department of a university hospital.

There is a former chief professor, two former associate professors, plus many former lecturers. It costs Kanto General Hospital a huge amount of money every year just to support this group of people.

Talent is important!

Especially in medicine, it really takes too long to train an excellent doctor.

If private hospitals are allowed to train their own talents, the cost would be lower than poaching talents from others, which is much easier.

But it is obvious that, at least in the cardiac surgery department, it does have the ability to train medical talents.

Because there is indeed a system here that is the same as the medical department of a university hospital, but it is not used. After all, this is a private hospital, and there is no need to have a strict hierarchy like that of a university hospital. Just let go of talent training, and there are plenty of excellent doctors who can teach.

"Even if you are in a university hospital, if you don't have the support of the professor, don't even think about contacting him!"

Yoshida Aoba looked at Aki Tomoya with disdain.

But we have to admit that they are indeed not as good as university hospitals in this respect.

People in university hospitals, apart from seeing patients, all have research projects on hand. They have something in their heads but nothing to show for it. How can they expect to work in a university hospital?

It's okay to just muddle along, but if you want to get by there by accumulating experience, you have to be really lucky, otherwise you'll be in danger of being exiled to the frontier at any time.

The competition within university hospitals is fierce.

"No, I just think it's a pity because I think private hospitals should keep up with the times if they have the ability to do so so that they can be as competitive as university hospitals."

Yoshida Aoba couldn't help laughing at what Tomoya Aki said.

He thought that the boy must have done it on purpose and was trying to drug him.

"I tell you to stop imagining this. Unless the director of the Department of Resources personally asks for it, the hospital won't even consider this kind of thing. Do you think the budget is so easy to get? You have to know that in the university hospital back then, a lot of the budget was donated to us by our own hands!"

Yoshida Aoba couldn't help but lecture him.

Want hospitals to buy surgical robots?

Ok?

What are you thinking? Are you buying it just for them to use?

Don't let it sit there gathering dust.

And it's not just the money you have to spend to buy it, there are also a lot of subsequent expenses.

Unless Director Monozukuri asks for it, there is no chance at all.

"Even if it can be bought, it may be regarded as a gimmick. Without a lot of surgical experience, wanting to use it to perform surgery is simply intentional murder!"

Yoshida Aoba shook his head.

It's not that he didn't have any ideas in his mind. He used to be in charge of research in a university hospital and had a lot of understanding about this kind of thing.

He naturally knew what was going on.

Even if it was purchased, in the entire cardiac surgery department, the only people who could use it when a suitable patient came across one were Director Monobe, him, and Sasaki Kazuichi.

"Give up, let's talk about this later. When you have a few more years, you should have the opportunity to get in touch with him whether you are still here or not."

"I understand. I just speak my mind."

In fact, Tomoya Aki didn't hold out much hope.

From the moment he learned that there was no surgical robot in the hospital, he understood that it was basically impossible to use it here.

Even in university hospitals, there are not many opportunities to use it.

So, at this time, he had no idea whether he was disappointed or not.

Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and this is the only way. No one can stop the progress of medicine. The key lies in who is at the forefront.

"I'm going to be on vacation starting tomorrow, so Dr. Yoshida, please don't miss me."

Regarding the vacation, Akitomo had discussed it with the department a long time ago, hoping to take a vacation during the Golden Week in May.

"I thought you and Dr. Majima were going to a wedding?"

Yoshida Aoba knew about this, and when he thought about these two people going to Kyoto to have some fun, he felt that they were indeed young people.

Unlike him, he doesn't want to go anywhere else except the hospital.

"Yes, I will bring back some special products for Dr. Yoshida when the time comes."

"Stop talking so much and go do your own thing!"

Yoshida Aoba pretended to be impatient and drove Aki Tomoya away.

In the afternoon, he went to find the director of the logistics department and talked about some things.

The general meaning is that they can also do some of the things they did in the university hospital here.

Anyway, he didn't have much hope. If the director of the logistics department was interested, that would be great. If not, it would not be a loss at all.

If surgical robots are really to be introduced, with their strength in cardiac surgery, they definitely have the foundation to put it to use and achieve results.

If the director of the main department is interested and willing to come forward, he can completely bind the research results with the hospital to convince the directors.

But it all depends on what Director Wubu thinks.

"Surgical robot? Well, I remember that when we were still at the University of Tokyo, Sasaki didn't use it very often, and I don't know how far the technology has progressed now."

The director of the physical department must be familiar with surgical robots.

In university hospitals, the easiest things to get access to are those that emerge from the cutting-edge of medicine.

It’s just that they left the university hospital a long time ago, so they haven’t used surgical robots very many times.

"Mr. Monobe, even though we are now in a private hospital, we should keep up with the times. Besides, our personnel strength has not weakened."

In other words, they have the ability to fully utilize surgical robots after introducing them and achieve certain results.

And he certainly didn't have the face to get the hospital to support them. The only person who had this face was the director of the logistics department.

"I understand this matter. I'll think about it again. You go first, and ask Dr. Sasaki to come in."

"Sorry to bother you. I'll take my leave now."

Yoshida Aoba didn't know whether Director Mononobe was interested or just trying to please him.

But he can only do this much. The decision still depends on what the director of the physical department thinks.

"Forget it, let's not think too much about this kind of thing. It's not something I can decide anyway. After all, I'm not the one who can argue with the directors..."

Chapter 502 So You Are This Kind of Person

"Your tax accountant wants you to come to her once a month or every two or three months, instead of asking her to handle it right away after receiving a thank-you gift."

Tomoya Aki's tax attorney, or rather, both of their tax attorneys, gave Tomoya Aki a suggestion.

As the number of VIP patients he faced increased, and because Professor Yano helped him publish his papers in appropriate places, Tomoya Aki came into contact with the so-called impact factor for the first time.

Although it is not much, it does bring a lot of benefits. One of them is probably that it opens up a new path to wealth.

Compared with the dire situation of doctors in China, in capitalist countries led by the United States and Japan, doctors are definitely not considered the so-called public servants. Not only is it expensive to study medicine, but countless people are flocking to it because of the prospects, money, and status.

When choosing to study medicine in Japan, An Yilun had considered the fact that being a doctor could make money, but he did not expect that he was so lucky that he has now opened up a path to wealth.

Those VIPs in the hospital are indeed evil capitalists. With scarce medical resources, they are fully qualified to jump the queue and are extremely generous.

Therefore, Aki Tomoya made up his mind that he must not accept thank-you gifts from ordinary patients, but he would fleece the capitalists as much as he could.

Under the high national welfare policy, there are various complex taxes. The people who enjoy high welfare are not as happy as imagined. They will feel guilty if they accept their thank-you gifts, but they will feel at ease if they accept the money from the capitalists.

"Your tax accountant said she'd rather deal with me than try to make your donations legal and reasonable."

"I see."

Aki Tomoya nodded. Not only his income, but also Kudo Sayaka's income was managed by the tax accountant introduced by Yoshida Aoba.

After hiring a tax accountant, their biggest experience was that they could save so much money and it became much more convenient. Another thing was that not everyone could afford a tax accountant.
