Chapter 214 A gentleman's promise is as light as a coin.
Hong Zhengbo was so ashamed after being scolded that he gritted his teeth and sat back in his original seat with a sullen face.
Not far away, Song Ze was staring at this side.
Seeing Hong Zhengbo's fate, he suppressed the thoughts that were surging in his mind.
There is not one traitor who does not regret.
A dog does not despise a poor home, a son does not despise an ugly mother, and the people do not despise a declining country.
When Liu Lao's team needed them the most, they left without hesitation. Now that Liu Lao's team has prospered and has a bright future, they want to come back. How can such a good thing happen?
Zhou Can scolded Hong Zhengbo, but this was just a small episode.
In the conference room, the eight teams that obtained the construction sub-department were all in high spirits and were actively recruiting and accepting members from other teams that did not qualify.
Mr. Liu never dreamed that one day his team would become so popular.
Some chief physicians and deputy chief physicians who used to be extremely proud in front of him, came to him with their teams and asked to join.
It feels so good to be proud of myself.
He Hansheng was even more excited and beaming with joy, and the smile of having finally made it through never left his face.
Among the many attending physicians in the general surgery department, He Hansheng's ability was among the best, but his status was somewhat unsatisfactory because his superior doctor was only an associate chief physician who was about to retire.
Although colleagues in a department are equal on the surface, in fact, different statuses are reflected in many aspects.
For example, in some departments, the water dispenser has a message saying "Trainees, interns, and continuing education students please get water from the kettle."
I believe that the trainees, interns and further students in that department must be feeling uncomfortable.
But no one will say it.
Everyone accepted it silently.
Also, when doing the dirty and tiring work, does anyone see the figures of the associate chief physician or chief physician?
When arranging the operating room, everyone is performing level 2 surgery, and the one with more complete and advanced equipment will be guaranteed to be given priority to the attending physician with a higher status.
During surgery, doctors with higher status can stand as first assistants, while doctors with lower status can only stand as second assistants. For doctors with lower status, it is considered good enough to stand on the operating table and lend a hand.
As for the fact that high-ranking doctors 'passively' cut in line when doing ward rounds, attending to beds, or queuing to use certain public medical resources, that goes without saying.
Only at this moment did He Hansheng feel like a real attending physician in the department.
He enjoyed the compliments and flattery from other attending physicians, and even some deputy chief physicians took the initiative to greet him and talk to him in a friendly and equal manner. These changes in details made him feel that his status had really improved.
Among the three formal doctors in Dr. Liu’s team, who is the happiest?
Resident doctor Wan Sanlao was definitely the happiest among the three.
He knew very well that his spring had come.
"Doctor Zhou, Doctor Zhou Can!"
Someone ran over and called Zhou Can.
"Hello! What can I do for you?"
Zhou Can saw that this person was running down from the leadership platform, so he naturally did not dare to neglect him.
"Vice President Ye invites you to come over and have a chat!"
"OK!"
Zhou Can nodded and walked towards the leadership seat.
The meeting room was very noisy. More than 150 doctors were looking for new teams, and conversations and discussions were heard one after another.
On the leadership platform, Vice President Ye and others were not in a hurry to leave.
Perhaps they also took into consideration that it was the first time that multiple sub-departments were being established, which was a matter of great importance. If anything happened, these leaders could make adjustments and handle the situation on the spot to speed up the establishment of the sub-departments.
"Dean Ye, you're looking for me?"
Zhou Can was somewhat nervous when talking with the leaders at the hospital level.
The two vice presidents, the director of the hospital office, the head of the personnel department, Director Xie of the general surgery department and many other bigwigs were sitting here.
Even Xia Huaian, the director of the general surgery department, was only qualified to sit on the sidelines at this moment.
"It's nothing serious, just some casual chat, you don't have to be nervous!"
When Vice President Ye looked at Zhou Can, his eyes were calm and kind.
The vice president of scientific research and teaching, Vice President Bei, who was sitting next to him, was also looking at Zhou Can.
"This departmental reform of the General Surgery Department is a great opportunity. You have made a great contribution to Liu Qingzhi's team. Deputy Director Liu and you have a certain emotional foundation. Have you ever thought about staying in the General Surgery Department? Deputy Director Liu is getting old. After retirement, someone is needed to take charge of the overall situation of the Thyroid and Breast Surgery Department. I think you are a very good candidate."
Vice President Ye said to him.
"If Liu Qingzhi can be awarded a senior professional title this time, you can postpone your retirement to 65. You will have about six years to grow and get along with the medical team of the department. If you agree, I will personally solve your academic qualification problem during this six-year period."
Vice President Bei took over.
The two vice presidents had obviously discussed it.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to cooperate so well.
"I am flattered by the kindness of the two hospital leaders. However, my qualifications are still very shallow, and I haven't started my regular training in internal medicine yet. I promised Director Lou and Doctor Xu that I would return to the emergency department after the regular training to help develop the emergency department. So, I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Zhou Can tactfully and sincerely rejected the kindness of the two vice presidents.
When speaking in front of a leader, the first thing to do is to be sincere.
Playing with any mind is a foolish act.
Who of those who can become hospital-level leaders did not fight their way up from the crowd? They can easily see through your intentions with just a glance or even a subtle unnatural movement.
"You have just completed your surgical residency. As for the internal medicine residency, if you miss this residency opportunity, won't you still have specialist training in the future? If that doesn't work out, you can still go to other internal medicine departments for further training! Director Tan and Director Yin Hua of the internal medicine department have a very good relationship with you. If you want to go for further training, just arrange your current work. Isn't it just a matter of a word? You can come to me when the time comes, and I will arrange it for you."
Vice President Ye knows Zhou Can's network of contacts very well.
In his words, he particularly hoped that Zhou Can would agree to stay in the general surgery department.
"Young man, it will be very difficult for you to solve the problem of education by yourself. It will be at least several times easier if you ask the hospital to help you solve it. If you miss this opportunity, there will be no other option!"
Vice President Bei and Vice President Ye worked in unison to persuade Zhou Can to think ideologically.
Zhou Can was promised many benefits.
Moreover, he was directly designated as the next generation leader of thyroid and breast surgery.
Any of these special treatments would be enough to attract other doctors and make them agree without hesitation.
However, Zhou Can was not tempted by these extremely generous conditions.
Everyone has his own principles and his own way of living.
Looking at the entire history of China, there are many people like Zhou Can who are not tempted by major interests and can always stick to their original aspirations.
Many of them eventually became the pillars of the country at that time.
"When I was in the most difficult time and needed help the most, it was Director Lou who recruited me to the emergency department. It was Doctor Xu who taught me surgical skills, which allowed me to achieve the little success I have today. A gentleman's promise is as important as the world. I will never waver in what I promised them. I hope the two deans can understand my difficulties."
Zhou Can rejected their kindness in a very firm tone.
"If you refuse our requests, aren't you afraid that we will make things difficult for you?"
Vice President Ye's expression turned serious.
An invisible pressure pressed down on Zhou Can like a mountain.
"Don't be afraid! I believe the two deans would not do that. Otherwise, you would not be able to become vice deans."
Zhou Can was very smart and turned the tables on his opponent.
The two vice presidents were given high honors, and since they were proud of their status, they naturally couldn't bring themselves to retaliate against a small-time trainee.
"Haha, Lao Ye, Lao Ye, I told you that threats and inducements won't work on this kid, right? I've long discovered that this guy has a character of gold. You threaten him, and he remains unmoved. You tempt him, and he doesn't care. I admire his persistence in principles, his determination to resist temptation, and his sincerity in keeping his promises."
Vice President Bei was outmaneuvered by Zhou Can, but instead of getting angry, he smiled happily.
When he looked at Zhou Can, his eyes were filled with deep admiration and love.
"He is indeed very good. His medical skills, potential, and professional ethics are all impeccable. If such a talent is willing to stay in the general surgery department, I am sure that not only will the thyroid and breast surgery department have great development, but the entire general surgery department will also be driven. This reform will also be successful."
Vice President Ye's tone was full of regret and unwillingness.
It is easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it is difficult to get a good general.
This time, the hospital entrusted him with the important task of general surgery reform.
Without finding a suitable general, the effects of the reform will be difficult to see in the short term.
Zhou Can was the best candidate he selected after considering for many days.
But the boy refused.
"If Zhou Can doesn't agree, don't we still have Du Leng? I think Du Leng is far better than Zhou Can in all other aspects except his poor surgical ability." Director Xie of the General Surgery Department has probably been waiting for this opportunity to insert the cavity.
Zhou Can's refusal to stay in the general surgery department as the "crown prince" who leads this department is exactly what Director Xie wants.
You can take this opportunity to help Du Leng get promoted.
"Well... Xiao Du's qualifications are indeed excellent. Let's study this matter further. There is no rush anyway." Vice President Ye directly used the signature catchphrase most commonly used by leaders.
Let’s study it further! Or, let’s wait and see.
It basically means rejection.
When Du Leng first entered Tuya Hospital, he was indeed highly regarded by senior leaders. But after a year and a half, Du Leng's performance was somewhat disappointing.
Apart from some achievements in papers, other areas are very bad.
After all, doctors don’t have to be good at surgery to be good. Being good at academics and doing scientific research and teaching are both good ways.
Then you can also try to develop into internal medicine.
Internal medicine pays more attention to medical theories, pharmacological mechanisms and pathological mechanisms.
Du Leng has spent more than a year and a half proving that he has no talent in the field of surgery. The right approach should be to try internal medicine.
I don't know whether he is too arrogant and determined to hang himself on the big tree of surgery, or Director Xie is selfish and refuses to let him go.
Maybe it's a combination of both.
The choice of development path mainly depends on your own wishes.
It is actually very difficult for outsiders to help.
At most I can give you a suggestion.
"Zhou Can, don't rush to reject this matter. After you finish your internal medicine training, or even work in the emergency department for a while, if you feel that general surgery is more promising, you can always contact me."
After Vice President Ye rejected Director Xie's recommendation, he looked at Zhou Can again.
"Okay! Thank you both for your trust in me. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
This time, Zhou Can did not refuse to die.
It's also good to leave yourself a way out.
Old Liu agreed to the doctors who came to seek refuge, while Wan Sanlao was writing a list beside him. Seeing Zhou Can being called over by Vice President Ye, Old Liu had been keeping an eye on him secretly.
Take a look from time to time.
He loves his student Zhou Can to the core.
This kid is really outstanding.
With him around, he is more useful than several chief physicians. Whether it is diagnosing difficult and complicated diseases or performing endoscopic surgery or general surgery, Zhou Can is an expert.
Seeing Zhou Can walking back calmly, a hint of disappointment flashed in Old Liu's eyes.
Still can’t keep it!
"Xiao Zhou, can you leave a few days later? The sub-department has just been established and will definitely face many challenges. I feel at ease with you around. If you leave suddenly, I'm worried that things will get messed up."
There was a hint of pleading in Old Liu's tone.
He is already old and he has finally caught a chance to soar to fame before retirement. He doesn't want to end up with a bruised nose and a bruised face.
There is no way to keep Zhou Can working in the general surgery department for a long time, but he can at least stay for a few more days to help the newly established sub-department to have a smooth transition.
"No problem. I've already informed the internal medicine department, so it doesn't matter if I go a few days later."
Zhou Can readily agreed.
When he was in trouble, Mr. Liu stood up and helped him many times without hesitation.
In the past two months, Mr. Liu has taught him everything he knows.
He even dared to let Zhou Can take charge of the key parts of the level 3 surgery.
It is this trust and cultivation that has enabled Zhou Can's surgical ability and experience to take a big step forward.
"Okay, okay! I feel relieved when you say that!"
Deputy Director Liu seemed to have taken a reassurance pill, and his face looked much more relaxed.
…
After nearly an hour of free combination, the recruitment of eight sub-departments is nearing completion.
The Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery originally had only three full-time physicians, but now the number has increased to 29. It is a very impressive lineup, including four chief physicians, five deputy chief physicians, and several attending physicians and residents.
Once the team is expanded, the next thing to do is to make a clear division of labor.
Including Elder Liu, there are nine deputy directors and chief physicians. The large number of high-level physicians has both advantages and disadvantages.
The benefit is that the medical team can maintain a high level in both surgery and diagnosis.
Moreover, many of these chief and deputy chief physicians are popular among their own people. As long as they are seeing patients, they basically have no shortage of patients.
The disadvantage is that it is too big to be removed.
When you use these people, you must give them enough respect and discuss anything with them.
There are certain practical difficulties in mobilizing them.
If they are attending physicians or resident doctors, just tell them to do their work.
Overall, the pros outweigh the cons.
"Xiao Zhou, help me make some division of labor arrangements for the department members."
Old Liu felt a bit of a headache looking at the long list of names.
Zhou Can has many ideas, a flexible mind, and good management skills. He has worked in all these positions, including ward rounds, admissions, outpatient and emergency surgery, inpatient surgery, and ward management.
The experience is already rich.
Helping to make arrangements can ensure more rationality and higher work efficiency of the department.
Zhou Can walked over, picked up the list and looked through it carefully.
Then, he started to schedule these personnel with Mr. Liu.
"Outpatient consultation is very important. I think we should ensure that at least one chief physician who specializes in thyroid diseases and one chief physician who specializes in breast diseases are in charge during the consultation period. There are only four chief physicians in total, one of whom is engaged in scientific research and teaching, so there are only three chief physicians available for consultation. The work of chief physicians is very busy. They often need to attend various meetings and academic seminars, and they also have teaching tasks."
"According to this calculation, there are definitely not enough chief physicians. We can only use deputy chief physicians to fill the gap. Based on the areas of expertise of these deputy chief physicians, we can make a more balanced combination. In addition, the operating room must also be considered..."
Zhou Can made many very good suggestions.
After some discussion and planning, we finally got all the team members in place.
Many aspects such as bed management, reception, and surgery are taken into consideration.
Although there are nearly 30 full-time doctors, when it comes to assigning specific tasks, it still feels a bit stretched. The manpower is quite tight.
Fortunately, Zhou Can will stay in the thyroid and breast surgery department to help for a few days.
At that time, he will be like a hero, rushing to wherever support is needed.
In addition to formal doctors, trainees, interns and postgraduate students are the main force doing basic and miscellaneous work.
In particular, tasks such as taking care of patients' beds, following surgeries, and changing dressings are basically performed by these people.
