I can see the status bar

Chapter 474
Sitting around the warm campfire, Sun Lien felt an unprecedented sense of comfort and relaxation.This feeling comes from the meaning and tiredness of a day's work, and also from the sense of reassurance that "there will definitely be no more emergency calls for me".This special feeling has never appeared in Sun Lien before - which emergency doctor during the training period can experience the above two points?Either I am too tired to think about the previous experience, or I am always ready to be called back to the emergency room for another wave of heavy physical work.There is no relaxation, no peace of mind.To put it bluntly, it is the daily experience of an emergency doctor to be frightened after work.

Not only Sun Lien, Dr. Pascal and Brunn also looked lazy and tired.Especially Dr. Pascal, since he came to the Fourth Hospital, the relatively easy work in the United States has suddenly become exhausting to the point of sudden death.Finally, he was able to experience a normal life of "off work is equal to the end of work". The huge contrast made him even smile all the time without knowing it.

Life can actually be beautiful.

Surrounded by the campfire, half lying on the outdoor sofa, Sun Lien, Dr. Pascal and Brunn twisted their bodies at the same time, and then squeezed out a comfortable "groan" from their stomachs.Halfway through the sound, the three men stopped talking at the same time, you look at me, I look at you, and then burst out laughing together.

It's like comrades who just climbed out of a trench to look up at the starry sky and share crumpled cigarettes.

"This is just like the doctor I dreamed of before." Dr. Pascal lay comfortably on the sofa, with his hands folded behind his head, and he crossed his legs and sighed, "There is nothing too extraordinary. Then at night, I can look at the sky and count the stars with peace of mind..." He tilted his head, took a sip of beer from the coffee table beside him, and then glanced at Brunn who was also drinking beer with some distaste, "If not It's better with this old thing next to it."

Bruun ignored Pascal's habitual provocations. He put down the wine bottle in his hand, took out his pipe again, filled it with shredded tobacco, and then used tongs to take out a piece of burning charcoal from the campfire. Lit, looked at Pascal curiously and asked, "What are your future plans? Are you really planning to stay in China?"

It's not that Pascal has never been here before, but he used to come here as a doctor without borders.He always felt that he, an old friend, came to China with the same thoughts as before.But being a doctor here is too different from his previous work.It is of course a good thing to solve the pain of ordinary patients, but what about his research?The original lab wasn't funded enough, but China didn't provide much either.

"I've talked to Dean Song." Dr. Pascal put down the beer bottle, and hiccupped in a very disfigured way. "She said that the college will help me prepare the laboratory, and will also help me coordinate the application and recruitment of students." He glanced at Sun Lien with some embarrassment, "I will have to go to the college frequently to deal with these problems around March this year. Yes. By then, the time spent in the hospital will definitely be reduced a lot..."

At least now, in name and daily operations, Sun Lien is still the leader of the treatment team—although Liu Pingchuan is the leader of the team on the surface, but with his lazy nature, he may not be able to appear in the emergency room once a month .And Pascal bypassed Sun Lien and reached some deals and consensus with Dean Song.This made him feel somewhat embarrassed.

Sun Lien saw Dr. Pascal's expression through the light of the fire, he smiled and shook his head, "Actually, I didn't expect you and Lao Bu to come here at first." He roughly described Xu Yourong who was like an "Internet addict girl" at that time, "Doctor Xu just said that he wanted to invite some former classmates, but he didn't expect that none of the classmates came, but he attracted the two of you."

"It doesn't matter to me. It's the same everywhere anyway." With the blessing of the bonfire and beer at night, the three men chatted much more naturally.Bruen took another puff of his pipe and said with emotion, "I've never been suitable for doing research. Let me stay in the laboratory, and I might be bored to death."

He looked at Dr. Pascal and asked with a smile, "In other words, you are going to start recruiting students?"

After having an independent laboratory, many researchers must participate in the experiment.And full-time professional researchers - that is to be paid.And the wages are not low.

Recruiting professional researchers is not cost-effective for university laboratories. The best way is to recruit some graduate students and doctoral students.Enrollment and training of high-level people will have bonuses and subsidies, and at the same time, the financial expenditure of researchers can be greatly reduced. Only by increasing revenue and reducing expenditure can research work be carried out better.

"Definitely, but I haven't decided whether to call Linus and the others over...or ask them if they are willing to come over." Dr. Pascal rarely showed a heavy expression, "After all, they The license cannot be used in China."

Just like the excuse Sun Lien once used to prevaricate Professor Yatomi of Juntendo Hospital, doctors who hold a license to practice medicine abroad must face various problems and restrictions if they want to practice medicine in China.The biggest difficulty is a question of the soul - do you really want to be a doctor in China?

More than half of doctors in the United States are private practitioners—they are not attached to a certain private or public hospital, but open their own clinics for open consultation.While the income is extremely impressive, the working hours are also very flexible.

What's more, the United States has a very rare "consensus".The poor do not deserve medical care.What's more, this consensus has not only been recognized by the vast majority of Americans, it has even been recognized by the poor.

Without personal commercial insurance with extremely high premiums, seeing a doctor should be ruined.If you don't want to go bankrupt, you have to endure the pain until you recover naturally or die.

This kind of environment and "consensus" is of course extremely absurd and inhumane to the Chinese.But from another perspective, such an environment is a paradise for doctors.

If there is no serious problem in the brain, there is almost no need to struggle with the choice of practicing medicine in China or in the United States.One side is high-intensity work, low income and contradictory social cognition positioning; the other side is work pressure, high income and high social recognition.It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Pascal himself is willing to stay in China to work and live because he and his career will have a better development here.But former assistants and students don't think so.

"Linus? Don't dream, buddy." Bruen laughed loudly when he heard a gulp of beer here, "That little guy will definitely not come to China, he's Italian." He didn't move his hands Wiping the beer off his face with concern, "You have to know, those Italians don't like China in their bones - they think the Chinese will eat rats raw."

"Linus is a third-generation immigrant." Pascal glanced at Brunn, "he's more of a New Yorker than an Italian now."

Bruen laughed and nodded, "Yes, I can smell the stench of his body, the smell of liberalism, from three streets away."

The two old men talked more and more vigorously, and they began to speak ill of Italian immigrants and liberals unscrupulously.Sun Lien, who had been unable to get in the conversation for a long time, huddled on the sofa and had a video call with Hu Jia.

"I have only been out for two months, and I am almost forced to become a super chef!" Hu Jia complained on the other end of the phone. The life of a graduate student is not very easy, especially the difference between food and domestic food is a bit too big. "British people eat four things, fish, potatoes, broccoli, and soybeans. They only have these four dishes!"

Listening to Hu Jia's complaint, Sun Li'en wanted to laugh, but he was worried that his laughter would cause even more trouble, so he could only ask with concern, "Is it the same in Chinatown?"

"It's so far from Chinatown..." Hu Jia said with a pitiful expression, "And the food is expensive! Do you know how dare they sell a bowl of egg fried rice for 4.99 pounds! A bowl of egg fried rice costs more than 40 yuan!"

Sun Li'en really didn't know that life abroad was so dire, "Then why don't you buy a rice cooker and cook by yourself?"

"Rice cooker..." Hu Jia had tears in his eyes, "I bought one from Amazon, and it hasn't been delivered for a week."

When egg fried rice was sold for 40 yuan, Hu Jia was just looking pitiful, but when it came to the delivery efficiency, she couldn’t bear it anymore, even though her parents were nearby, Hu Jia cried with a mournful face, “Old grandson, I miss you , I want to go home!"
