Chapter 443: The Snake Swallows the Elephant, the Imperial Edict is in Hand
Li Quan has been guessing what the teacher meant by "eat your way to fame and fortune in one bite".
Now I understand.
It turned out that the teacher had already set his sights on the old orthopedic department.
The Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics Department should directly take over the old orthopedics department.
"Dean, if my Chinese medicine treatment is widely promoted in the near future, it will be a subversion of the traditional treatment methods in the entire orthopedic field. Even if you don't move the old orthopedic department now, it won't last long.
The development and growth of Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics Department is unstoppable.
Rather than letting other hospitals seize the initiative, we should seize this opportunity ourselves, grow rapidly and become a new benchmark in the field of orthopedics.
My teacher is right. There are only benefits and no harm in merging the old orthopedic department. Even if the old orthopedic department feels pain, it will only be short-lived. "
Li Quan also assisted from the side.
Dean Tan frowned and thought, and did not agree rashly.
Merging a department, especially a larger one, is no small matter.
As the person at the helm, you must be extremely cautious.
After thinking for more than ten minutes, Dean Tan said, "I will call the two directors of the orthopedics department over to talk and ask for their opinions."
Dean Tan was willing to call people over to discuss the matter, which showed that he was moved by what Li Quan and Professor Liu said.
With just a little more effort, this can be accomplished.
Not long after, Director Pang and Deputy Director Ye from the Orthopedics Department both hurried over.
There is nothing special about these two people , they are united.
As soon as they entered the room , they saw Li Quan and Professor Liu and were stunned.
The two sides had quarreled last time, and although the hatred was not deep, at least they had fallen out and had a feud. So when they met at this moment, they had no intention of saying hello.
"Dean, do you want to ask us something?"
Director Pang felt vaguely uneasy.
Because he found that Professor Liu and Li Quan, the master and disciple, had exactly the same expressions, like two hungry wolves seeing a big piece of fat meat in front of them.
"Well... sit down, both directors, please sit down first!" Dean Tan had a gentle expression and a smile on his face.
The dean's assistant brought over two cups of tea.
"Try it! This is Kuding tea given to me by an old leader . It tastes a bit bitter, but it leaves a long aftertaste in your mouth." Dean Tan introduced the characteristics of the tea with a smile.
After the two of them tasted the Kuding tea, Dean Tan said slowly, "Two directors, I called you here today to discuss something."
"Please speak, Dean!"
Director Pang and Deputy Director Ye both sat up straight.
"As for the TCM Orthopedics Department, business has been booming since it opened. Now the beds are extremely tight and can no longer meet the normal demand. I just discussed with Dr. Liu and Dr. Li Quan. Do you think we can merge the old orthopedics department into the TCM Orthopedics Department to solve the current urgent problem? Don't worry, the hospital will definitely properly accommodate every member of the old orthopedics department."
Dean Tan has been planning this for so long, and now he is finally going straight to the point.
Director Pang and Deputy Director Ye's expressions changed immediately.
"This is impossible. I will never agree to this!"
"The Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics Department has only been open for a few days. Even if the business is booming, I don't know how long it will last. Besides, our old orthopedics department is still a lean camel that is bigger than a horse. It is definitely not something a small Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics Department can compare to."
The two veteran directors of the orthopedic department were resolute in their attitude.
Their faces were red and their necks were thick, and their expressions were extremely ferocious.
"The number of patients seen in the old orthopedic department this morning didn't break double digits, did it? With so many people, they only saw four patients this morning. Excuse me, I'm afraid it can't support the dozens of people in the old orthopedic department. Your old orthopedic department is like a camel. Even if it gets fatter now, it still won't be as thick as the dark horse of Chinese orthopedic medicine."
Professor Liu bluntly exposed the two men's lies in person.
The business of the old orthopedic department is indeed becoming increasingly bleak.
Especially after the opening of Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics, as word of mouth spread, patients became more open.
Who would be willing to go to an old orthopedic clinic and get ripped off when there is an efficient and cheap traditional Chinese medicine orthopedic clinic?
And being ripped off is a double headache.
Treatment is time-consuming, the effect is slow, and surgery is often necessary, which causes physical pain. Treatment costs are high, and the hard-earned money is spent, and the heart also suffers.
In addition, the treatment level of the old orthopedic department was very average.
Business is going bad, that's normal.
Director Pang was so angry that his lies were exposed.
"Liu Jinshu, let me tell you, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics Department wants to swallow up the traditional orthopedics department. This is wishful thinking. It's like a snake swallowing an elephant. Be careful that your stomach will burst."
Deputy Director Ye also stood up and roared, "No matter how declining our old orthopedics department is, it will never be your turn to merge with the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. If we want to merge, we will merge it into a department as powerful as the Department of General Surgery."
The two old directors of the orthopedics department were so angry that they jumped up and down and cursed.
The saliva almost sprayed on Professor Liu and Li Quan's faces.
No wonder they were so angry, they couldn't save face.
The old orthopedics department has been developing for so many years, so he has a lot of experience. Traditional Chinese orthopedics department has only been developing for a few days, so I am a complete newcomer.
Now that this newcomer is getting ahead of the veterans, it would be strange if they didn't get angry.
"Hehe, merging the old orthopedics department into the surgery department is a good idea, but will they accept it? I really don't despise you. Given the current state of your old orthopedics department, as well as the efficiency and medical skills of those people, the surgery department really doesn't look down on them.
Director You of the Department of Surgery takes the elite route and may not be as strict with some small departments.
But which department like general surgery, gastrointestinal surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, etc. is not full of talented people?
Director Pang, you must be clear about the situation. Don't overestimate yourself, and don't underestimate others. Although Chinese orthopedics is young, it may lead the new trend of orthopedics and become a benchmark in the field of orthopedics in the near future.
Right now, the wards are in short supply, and it is indeed difficult to squeeze a large number of wards from other departments. Otherwise, not only will the surgery department look down on you, but even our Chinese medicine department will look down on you as well.”
Professor Liu's words were quite harsh.
The two directors' faces turned from blue to green out of anger. Their noses were crooked and their eyebrows were raised. They wanted to fight Professor Liu to the death.
"President, look at what Director Liu said. He has belittled our old orthopedics department. It is really infuriating. Our orthopedics department was originally separated from the surgery department. Now it is only natural that we are returning to the surgery department. Anyway, we just don't agree to be merged into the Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics Department."
Director Pang was so angry that his hands were shaking.
Since he couldn't win the argument with Professor Liu, he could only ask the dean for justice and seek some comfort.
The business of the old orthopedic department is indeed very poor, and it is difficult to speak with confidence.
"Well..." Dean Tan was unable to make a decision for a moment.
Orthopedics was indeed separated from surgery, and now they refused to agree to be merged into TCM orthopedics, but wanted to return to the embrace of general surgery. As the dean, he had to either agree or take a tough stance and force Director Pang and Deputy Director Ye to agree.
I was feeling a little unwell.
Dean Tan was exhausted and suddenly felt his chest tightness getting worse.
Then, some liquid seemed to flow out of the nostrils.
"Dean, your nose is bleeding!" the assistant shouted in horror.
The assistant in the hospital heard clearly what Li Quan said when he diagnosed Dean Tan.
Now that Dean Tan was bleeding from his nose, he was naturally scared.
If anything happens to Director Tan, Huier Hospital will definitely change its leader.
By then, the dean's assistant will most likely also have to be replaced.
A new emperor appoints new ministers.
The assistant to the dean is equivalent to the dean's confidant, and the new dean must be replaced by a trustworthy person.
Dean Tan reached out and wiped it, then looked at it in front of his eyes, and was also horrified.
What Li Quan said has come true.
Dean Tan felt as if death was approaching.
"Dean, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics ward must be opened immediately. Please make a decision and start treating patients!" Professor Liu began to force the palace.
"The old orthopedic department will be merged into the TCM orthopedic department. This is settled. All members of the old orthopedic department will be properly resettled. TCM orthopedic department should adhere to one principle: continue to use those who can be used. Those medical staff who are really not suitable for the TCM department will be resettled by the hospital. Assistant Jiang, you will follow up on this matter."
As soon as Dean Tan finished speaking, his body shook twice and he hurriedly held onto the table.
"Doctor Li..., what is my illness? Which department should I go to for treatment?" Dean Tan was very afraid that he would go to the wrong department and waste time, which would put his life in danger.
Director Pang and Director Ye arrived a little late and didn't know what had happened before.
When the two saw that Director Tan fell ill, they did not rush to the emergency department, but first went to Li Quan to ask about the cause of the illness.
They were secretly shocked.
Is this the reason why Director Tan agreed to let the Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics Department merge with the old Orthopedics Department?
"See the cardiology department!"
Li Quan was very happy to see that the task was accomplished.
Traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics has taken an extremely important step forward.
After absorbing the old orthopedic department, TCM orthopedics has the foundation to take off directly. Its weight in the hospital has also soared several levels.
"Dean, Dean, we can't just make this decision so hastily..."
Director Pang was so anxious that he almost cried.
"You are an old comrade too. Do you understand what it means to obey orders? Do it if you can. If not, just hand in your resignation letter to my office!" Dean Tan was about to say something when Director Pang stopped him from leaving. He was also very angry.
Director Pang had never seen the dean show such a scary expression to him.
I've never said such harsh words to him.
For a moment, I felt cold from head to toe.
The hospital is just as realistic as society. When you have no value, you are worse than a dog.
"Get out of the way. If you continue to stop the dean from rescuing the patient, do you want to kill him?" Li Quan shouted angrily, pushing Director Pang aside.
"This evil slave who flatters the powerful and bullies the weak..." Director Pang cursed inwardly in anger.
He was pushed aside by Li Quan and watched helplessly as the dean left with the support of Li Quan, the "traitor".
The assistant dean immediately notified the medical staff from the cardiovascular department of the internal medicine department to come over.
They lifted Dean Tan onto the makeshift emergency bed and ran away pushing him.
Flattering the dean is not just Li Quan's specialty.
There are many people in the entire hospital who want to curry favor with the dean.
…
Li Quan returned to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, and the newly recruited nurse Zhao Ling came to him with a worried look on his face.
"Doctor Li, the beds in our TCM department are already full. The patients we admitted this morning haven't been settled yet, and they're starting to get upset."
Zhao Ling is also an old nurse.
Four years of work experience.
He was selected from the old orthopedics department and has professional nursing experience in orthopedic patients.
These two days, Li Quan was very satisfied with her work attitude.
Work diligently and willingly.
"Don't worry, tell them that we will arrange a bed for them before we get off work." Li Quan is now waiting for the official notice from the hospital.
"Then I'll go and comfort those patients first."
After getting Li Quan's promise, Zhao Ling hurried back to the inpatient ward to comfort the patients who did not have beds yet.
Li Quan continued to treat the patient.
The first patient seen in the afternoon turned out to be another patient with a severe fracture who needed hospitalization.
"Doctor Li, we don't have enough beds. Why don't we send this patient to another hospital?" Doctor Luo whispered.
"No, they come from far away to see us, how can we turn them away? As long as the patient is within the limited consultation number, we will admit them and treat them as much as possible."
Li Quan expressed his opinion.
"But there are not enough beds..." Luo Wenhao said with a worried look on his face.
"It's okay, it will definitely be solved before getting off work." Li Quan smiled confidently.
He has not yet told his subordinates about the feat of traditional Chinese orthopedics taking over the traditional orthopedics.
He had to keep calm until the official notice came down.
It is actually a good thing to admit more inpatients now.
If the hospital drags its feet and fails to implement the order, then those patients who are admitted but have no beds will have to make a big fuss.
It was around five o'clock in the afternoon.
The official notice that Li Quan had been waiting for finally came.
That’s what the notification said.
"Due to the development needs of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics Department of Huier Hospital, the hospital leaders discussed and decided to formally merge the old orthopedics department into the Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics Clinic. All businesses will be carried out in an orderly manner. Those who should withdraw will withdraw, and those who should retain will retain. The hospital will properly place every medical staff in the old orthopedics department, so please rest assured."
The notice was signed by more than just the dean.
Instead, all the leaders of the hospital approved it.
It was obviously only Dean Tan who made the final decision at that time, but the official notice sent down now has the signatures of all the leaders of the hospital.
Those vice presidents are all masters at changing their stance according to the situation.
When they come out, they hide their heads and don't show their faces.
Because doing this kind of thing is particularly offensive.
Once the dean made the decision, they all jumped out to add icing on the cake for Li Quan.
Li Quan was particularly happy after receiving the official notice.
The matter has been settled and there are no major changes.
At best, those people in the old orthopedics department were unwilling to accept the merger and resisted it.
When the original staff of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department saw the official notice, they all looked like they had won the first prize, and everyone had a smile on their face.
"There are five patients left. Hurry up and treat them all, then follow me to take over the old orthopedic department. By the way, Hu Yue'er, call Chen Xia to come to the hospital."
Li Quan could clearly feel that everyone in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department was united at this moment.
His status and prestige in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine also reached unprecedented new heights.
No matter it was the rebellious Tang Zhengyuan, the honest Luo Wenhao, or the hot-tempered Hu Yue'er, when everyone looked at Li Quan, the admiration and respect that naturally appeared in their eyes made Li Quan feel particularly benefited.
Now, he felt like a leader.
In the past, he had at most some hidden power, but the people below him did not respect him as much as they do now.
Everyone is full of energy.
The remaining five patients were quickly treated.
"Okay, call Dr. Ye Ru and Zhao Ling to go to the old orthopedics department. How long will it take Chen Xia to arrive?" Li Quan looked at the time. It was only half an hour before the end of get off work.
This has to be done before leaving get off work.
