The Hero
Chapter 378 Continue
Javier never thought that the hospital director who spoke at the time was actually James Carillo himself.
James was the doctor who initially paid the remaining 800 dollars in medical care for Milly and later resigned after she was saddened by the news that she had passed away.
Javier has great respect for this particular doctor. The doctor is meant to be a good man who saves lives, but Javier can really feel this spirit coming from James, so he respects the man.
However, he never thought he would meet James there once again. At that moment, James was talking to the white-haired old man.
“Pak, I really can't continue being a doctor anymore. I couldn't control myself from thinking about the little girl every time I saw the doctor's robe.
“She was only seven years old back then.She was very young and pitiful.I could obviously save her but chose to step aside and do nothing just because she had no money. I have tried to console myself many times that I had nothing to do with his death, and it was not me who set the hospital rules.
“But I can't convince myself of that. I certainly had the means and the ability to save her and let her live a healthy life, but I chose to ignore saving her until a good Samaritan was willing to help pay on her behalf. He would welcome his new life but eventually died before I could even operate on him.
“Master, my hands are soaked by his blood now. I'm sorry..” James buried his head in his hand and cried like a child right then and there.
Milly's death had put so much pressure on her that she could no longer bear it. In fact, he stopped his career as a doctor. Oliver, the director of the hospital, reached out his hand and patted James on the shoulder.
“You are really a good protege, my favorite protege. I've told you that you may not be my most talented student, nor did you give the most attention during my college days. However, you are the best of all my students.
“James, I really feel the spirit of being a doctor, which is to be generous and save lives because of you. It doesn't matter whether you continue to be a doctor or not in the future. I'd like you to know that I'm very proud of the fact that you'll forever be my best protege.”
After patting James on the shoulder once more, Oliver exclaimed, "You are truly my good student!"
James is indeed a kind-hearted man, and this causes Javier who is standing outside the office to be helpless by his kindness,
He knocked on the door but did not enter, leaving enough time for James to wipe away his tears.
After all, they were all adults, so it was a shame to be caught crying.
After Oliver yells, “Log in,” Javier walks into the office.
Looking at the young man, Oliver curiously asked, "And you?"
James had wiped his tears dry and turned to look at Javier.
Naturally, he was instantly shocked when he saw the person who had just entered.
” Mr Kersey? What are you doing here?"
Javier smiles. "What a coincidence. I want to talk to Mr. Holmes about some things, but I did not expect you would be here too, Doctor Carillo.”
Oliver curiously turned to James as he listened to their conversation. "Do you two know each other?"
James nodded with excitement. “Yes, we know. Sir, this is the kind Samaritan I mentioned to you who unconditionally paid 80 thousand dollars to save the little girl. His name is Javier Kersey.”
Oliver hurriedly stood up after hearing this. He only respects Javier, the man who has shown such great kindness.
Leaving his seat, Oliver approaches Javier. "Trs. Kersey, you're a very nice person!”
Javier hurriedly reached out his hands and shook Oliver's hands.
“Please, I am far from being called a good person. Dr. Carillo here is a really nice guy. I'm sure you yourself must be a very great doctor with great virtue for being able to raise such a good student, Dr. Holmes. I'm nothing to you two in comparison.”
Javier is disrespectful. He really thinks it's true.
'If our roles are exchanged, I doubt I will be able to resign as James has done.
'This is not only virtuous as a doctor, but a well-glorified act instead.'
After Javier sat down, the three of them chatted leisurely for a moment.
Through their conversation, Javier learns that Oliver is a teacher for Ph.D-level doctors, whereas James has become his student when he studies for Ph.D.
Both are pediatricians, but none specialize in "understanding what it means to be a director"
Previously, Oliver's family ran the business, but he eventually opened a private hospital because he could not afford to run the business after inheriting it.
Later, the reputation of his hospital slowly awoke, turning it into a fairly decent hospital. However, with three medical incidents occurring in a row, the Sacred Virtue Hospital had experienced a huge turning point, causing it to be on the verge of bankruptcy now.
“Now the hospital stops all operations and is now on sale, and all hospital equipment is purchased with a bank loan, it is natural that the bank will take it back soon. You shouldn't consider me the director of this hospital anymore. I don't
worthy of such a title.”
Oliver smiled bitterly.
It seemed that he did not understand why he ended up suffering such consequences even though he had done the right thing. However, he did not talk too much about this topic and turned to ask why Javier was there that day.
“What is your purpose of visiting me today, Mr Kersey?”
Javier says, “To be honest, Dr. Carillo, I also feel very depressed because I can't save Milly. That is why I thought recently..Am I able to invest in hospitals and provide medical services to the public at a low cost?
“Looking at the unfortunate people who suffer from the disease is like seeing Milly once again. The hospital must bear all medical expenses incurred.”
Oliver and James looked at each other and exchanged glances.
Afterwards, Oliver said, “This is indeed a good thing, actually a wonderful thing, that you are thinking of bringing such benefits to the public. However, Mr Kersey, have you ever thought about how hospitals can only be limited by providing care to the poor if we have little benefit from the poor?
“?In fact, there may be a great chance that as we increase the number of people we save for free, the amount of capital that hospitals have to invest will also increase exponentially?
Please allow me to know, but what are you trying to achieve by continuing to invest so much money without making a profit?
Javier waved his hand. “I do this so that people like Milly can receive treatment. But I am a businessman. From an entrepreneur's point of view, I would never invest in something that would not give me any profit.
“That's why I'm going to make a profit through this investment. This way, I will be able to obtain a grant for the hospital. But rest assured, Dr. Holmes, my so-called advantage is not from a medical point of view but in the public interest. This is the basis I invest in hospital.”
Oliver suddenly understood. “I think I know what you mean, Mr. Kersey. You plan to buy a hospital to carry out this problem.
Javier smiled and nodded. “That is why you will still be the director of this hospital. Besides, I trust you more about this matter.”
Javier has Herschel investigating Oliver's background. Plus, there was also a personal interview with Oliver that was published on the Internet.
Oliver Holmes is a 2nd grade professor, as well as chief physician, physician, and pediatrician. He also teaches other novice doctors and has made outstanding contributions to the Ministry of Health, allowing him to enjoy all kinds of special treatment from the country. Most importantly, Oliver is a member of the Chinaea Natural Science Foundation.
Oliver's main focus is to perform surgery on children, including removing the tumor.
As such, he has a deep knowledge of childhood tumors and diseases related to their liver and gallbladder, as well as, especially tumors that grow inside the gallbladder of children and malignant tumors that grow inside their hearts, and how to treat them.
Oliver has many times successfully operated on children with such diseases, Thus, Oliver can be said to be the best of the best in the country medically.
In the meantime, little needs to be said about his professionalism and virtues as a doctor. She was able to raise so many good students like James, so how bad was Oliver?
Therefore, Javier has decided the moment he enters the door for Oliver to continue as hospital director.
However, Javier needs to get things done. Why did the hospital suffer from all three incidents in a row?
