In 2020, before I went bankrupt, I hired a cook. She was highly qualified and organized. My wife occasionally chats with her when she's free. Ten years ago, her husband had a botched surgery at a small hospital, and he passed away shortly afterward. She was left to raise a son and a daughter alone. This lesson is profound: you absolutely must go to a large hospital for surgery. While the equipment in a small hospital may be similar to that in a large one, a doctor in a large hospital might perform as many major surgeries in a month as a small hospital does in a year. Doctors in large hospitals see more unusual illnesses, and the conditions on the operating table change rapidly. Once the lesion is opened, the actual situation is far more complex than anticipated, and doctors in small hospitals simply don't have the skills to handle extreme situations. It's like Tian Ji's horse race: the doctor operating on you in a small hospital is like a mid- or low-ranking horse in a large hospital. Even an assistant to the attending physician in a large hospital might have more experience than the attending physician. Finally, large hospitals won't treat minor ailments with major surgeries. All medicine is toxic, and any surgery has side effects. There are many patients in large hospitals. They have no shortage of patients. They just want to cure you as soon as possible and discharge you to free up beds for patients waiting in line.
