Chapter 598: Fulfilling the promise, the conflict of interests between departments
Not only did his status in the operating room and the emergency department improve by leaps and bounds , but his status in the hospital was also gradually established.
Although it is just a small member of the quality control department, it is a leadership position with power in hand, which brings a different status. If an accident occurs in the clinical department or a medical dispute occurs, the hospital needs to find out who is responsible.
The Medical Department can only make a simple inquiry and does not have the final say.
The quality control department is the one that can make the final decision.
When the Quality Control Department conducts appraisals on medical accidents or disputes, Qin Yuanzhu and others are responsible for the appraisal of errors in laws and regulations. However, Zhou Can, members of the Nursing Department, and the Hospital Infection Control Office are responsible for the division of technical responsibilities.
Ever since Zhou Can achieved brilliant results on his first mission and was highly recognized by Assistant Dean Qin, Director Ju and others, basically any medical accident or dispute that is slightly more serious would invite Zhou Can to participate.
Since Zhou Can is the only person in the hospital who has reached the director level in multiple fields such as pathological diagnosis, surgery, and anesthesia, his identification ability is obviously much stronger than that of other experts and senior directors.
This also makes everyone rely on him more and more.
Qin Yuanzhu used to be quite averse to him.
Now it's interesting. Whenever there is a serious medical accident, people will ask, "Where is Zhou Can? Please invite Dr. Zhou over!"
Sometimes Zhou Can is so busy performing surgeries and seeing patients that he really has no time.
Assistant Director Qin deliberately extended the investigation time and waited until Zhou Can had time to go over for identification.
The final handling opinion will only be given after Zhou Can’s appraisal results come out .
This shows how high Zhou Can's status is in the first group of the Quality Control Department.
Others compete on background and means, but he relies on technology.
The directors, doctors, and nurses of the clinical departments were very smart and well-informed. Gradually, everyone knew that Zhou Can was the main appraiser for the responsibility determination of medical accidents.
As a result, everyone naturally tried every means to establish a good relationship with Zhou Can.
His status in the hospital also rose.
Even many experts and directors who think highly of themselves will now take the initiative to greet Zhou Can with a smile when they see him.
Tuya Hospital is so large, with more than 10,000 employees, that Zhou Can has no way of remembering all the directors' names. When many people greet him, they know him, but he doesn't know them.
I could only respond with my signature smile and nod.
That day, Su Qianqian came to bring Zhou Can food as usual. After leaving the operating room, Zhou Can found her sitting alone on the bench in a daze.
Zhou Can walked over quickly.
"Qianqian!"
"Ah...honey, the surgery is over!" She smiled when she saw Zhou Can.
But this smile clearly looked a bit forced.
"Today I made your favorite fried tofu, stir-fried meat, and vegetables. Eat them while they're hot! Otherwise, if there's a rescue or emergency mission later, you'll run away halfway through your meal."
When she looked at Zhou Can, he was the only one in her eyes and heart.
There is only one man like this in the whole world.
She took great care of Zhou Can's life. They had been together for so many years, and she never complained. Even when they had a quarrel, she still cared about Zhou Can very much.
When it comes to quarreling, some small details are particularly interesting.
For example, when they had a quarrel or a conflict, Su Qianqian would ignore him out of spite. When it was time to deliver food, she would ask Wei Fang to carry the rice bucket to Zhou Can.
But once you taste the food inside, you can tell it is her masterpiece.
Of course, the longest cold war between the two of them would not last more than a day. They had a quarrel last night, and Zhou Can could not coax her well. The next day after get off work, he would definitely try every means to coax her well.
In fact, apart from her somewhat stubborn character, she has always been a sensible and virtuous wife.
"Qianqian, recently I often see you staring out the window or reading in a daze. You must be worried about something." Zhou Can hugged her gently.
"There are so many people watching! Let go, let go!"
She suddenly felt extremely embarrassed and quickly pushed away Zhou Can's hand on her, her pretty face turning red.
Zhou Can always finds it particularly interesting when he sees her being shy.
She has always been a conservative and traditional girl.
Even though the two of them are now husband and wife, she is still very shy in public.
Usually, girls with this kind of personality are pure as jade, with clean body, clean mind and clean soul.
"What are you afraid of? My colleagues all know that you are my girlfriend."
Zhou Can was not afraid of the strange looks from his colleagues.
Besides, given his current position in the emergency department, there are probably few people who dare to gossip about him behind his back.
"You have to be careful about the impact! Let's eat!"
She said shyly with her head down.
"You haven't told me why you've been daydreaming so much lately! I'll eat after you finish speaking."
Zhou Can felt extremely distressed when he saw her being alone and worried.
A man has the obligation to make his woman happy and live happily every day.
Life itself is extremely short. The longest-lived person only lives to be over a hundred years old, and most ordinary people live to be in their seventies or eighties.
Life is short and plants and trees wither with autumn. Zhou Can especially cherishes the fate between him and Su Qianqian.
It was not easy for the two of them to get to know each other, and from knowing each other to falling in love.
Every day is worth cherishing.
"I'm fine, stop thinking about it and eat!"
She refused to say.
"Do you want to get married? I haven't forgotten about it. I've always kept it in my mind. I was busy with various affairs recently and I really couldn't spare the time. How about this, I will ask for leave from the hospital tomorrow. If I can only get two days off, we will take a plane to your parents' home. If we can get three days off, we will drive back."
This matter has been dragging on, and as time goes by, her pressure is increasing.
Women are not like men.
Women's looks age quickly, and their self-worth decreases after their best years pass. Pressure from all sides can make them feel more and more anxious.
A man is in his prime at 41.
As long as a man is successful in his career, he can still eat young grass even if he lives to be eighty years old.
"Really?"
For a moment, her face was filled with surprise.
The sorrow hidden in her dark brows suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Zhou Can has lived with her for so many years, how could he not know what she is thinking?
"Of course it's true. At worst I'll just quit my job."
Zhou Can said half jokingly and half seriously.
"Oh, you are so stupid! You are doing well as a doctor, it would be a shame to quit! Try to ask for leave. If the leaders of your hospital don't agree, then we can wait a little longer."
Her worries were resolved and her face became bright again.
The carefree and beautiful Qianqian is back.
"The leaders have to agree no matter what. Marriage is a big deal and only happens once in a lifetime. They have to make it happen anyway."
There is no one who can replace Zhou Can's job for the time being, and it is indeed very difficult for him to take leave.
However, there are reasons for everything. For two major events, marriage and funerals, any company or unit that is a little bit humane will approve leave.
After dinner, Zhou Can went straight to Director Lou’s office.
Knock on the door and go in.
Director Lou is still busy dealing with various affairs of the department. The emergency department is not what it used to be. As the scale continues to expand, he, the director of the department, is getting busier and busier.
"Xiao Zhou is here! Please take a seat!"
Director Lou greeted him warmly with a smile, and stood up to make tea for him.
"Director Lou, please don't make tea for me. I know you are busy with many things now, busier than anyone else. I came to you to ask for three days' leave."
Zhou Can directly stated his purpose.
"Why do you suddenly want to take three days off? Did something happen at home?"
The first thing Director Lou thought of was that Zhou Can’s parents or grandparents had passed away, so Zhou Can asked for leave to go back and deal with the funeral.
But you can't ask this kind of thing openly.
Vague questions are the most appropriate.
What if someone's parents are fine, and you ask them if their parents are dead? It's shocking to think about it.
"Everything is fine at home. I am not young anymore, and it is time for me to get married. My family is urging me to get married, and my girlfriend will feel uneasy if I don't get married. I just want to take three days off to accompany her back to her parents' home, formally propose marriage, and settle the marriage. I know that the work in the department is very busy and the staff is very short. Logically, I should not take leave, but this matter can't be delayed any longer, so please help me."
Zhou Can said sincerely.
"Well, marriage is a big deal. If you want to get married, the hospital should support you. Just hand over your work and go. Be safe on the road. I wish you success and get married."
Director Lou hesitated for a few seconds and finally nodded in agreement.
Asking Zhou Can, a capable person, to take three days off actually puts a lot of pressure on him as the department head.
But he finally approved the leave.
"Thank you, Director Lou. When the matter is settled, I will treat you to a wedding banquet."
Zhou Can successfully asked for leave and immediately smiled happily.
Finally, Su Qianqian's worry was resolved.
As a man, you should try your best to fulfill the promises you make.
"Haha, even if you don't invite me, I will definitely go and ask for a glass of wedding wine. Since you are here, I just want to discuss something with you."
Director Lou laughed heartily.
Zhou Can raised his butt and sat back down again.
"It's like this. Our emergency department is gradually growing in size, and the number of staff in internal medicine and surgery is already considerable. I plan to learn from the advanced experience of general surgery and subdivide the emergency department. Internal medicine is temporarily considering building respiratory medicine, gastroenterology, stroke center, and neurology. Surgery will build emergency general surgery, hepatobiliary surgery, gastrointestinal surgery, and orthopedic surgery."
Director Lou’s idea is very good.
However, the subdivision of emergency departments will definitely touch the sensitive nerves of other specialties.
The emergency department's business overlaps with theirs, which is a blatant attempt to steal business.
It is completely different from the previous petty fights and sneaky activities.
I’m afraid other departments won’t agree.
"Our emergency department does now have the conditions for subdividing departments, but the external pressure is also very high, so it is hard to say whether this can be implemented smoothly." Zhou Can's expression was serious.
Director Lou consulted him alone about this matter, of course because he is now a leading cadre in the emergency department, but the main reason is that Zhou Can has a very powerful network of contacts in the hospital.
Many powerful departments are willing to give face to Zhou Can.
To be honest, even Director Lou, the director of the emergency department, is far less influential than Zhou Can.
If Director Lou wants to successfully implement department subdivision, he must first obtain Zhou Can's full support.
"I have seriously considered the external pressure. We now have only eight sub-departments in total, although this may touch the sensitive nerves of related departments. But as long as you come forward to communicate, I don't think there will be any major problems."
After hearing what Director Lou said, Zhou Can's eyelids twitched.
He had expected that Director Lou would let him shoulder this heavy responsibility. But Zhou Can was always thin-skinned when it came to competing for interests.
He couldn't bring himself to use his connections with the department heads and medical staff to openly compete for the interests of these departments, and he couldn't bring himself to do such a thing.
"Can you let me think about this? This is a fight over core interests, so I don't think it will work if I come forward to talk."
Zhou Can adopted an attitude of polite refusal.
In the beginning, out of a desire to repay a favor, I was wholeheartedly thinking about helping the emergency department grow and develop. I never expected that after the emergency department grew stronger, it would compete with other departments for core interests.
The previous ideas were still too simple.
At this moment, Zhou Can had some understanding and realization about why Director Xie had tried his best to prevent the emergency department from growing and developing.
It seems that these big directors have a longer-term vision.
At that time , Director Xie might have already realized the current situation.
"Xiao Zhou, I know you are a man who values friendship and loyalty, and you always act with principles. When it comes to interests, you always put loyalty first. I have given this matter a lot of thought, and it is almost impossible not to compete for the interests of the specialist departments. Unless we close our emergency department, no matter what business the emergency department does, it overlaps with the business of other specialist departments."
Director Lou's expression also turned serious.
His eyes and tone were extremely sincere.
"Since the competent authorities require hospitals of a slightly larger scale to build emergency departments, and emergency departments have existed for so many years, I believe this is an advancement in medical history. This decision should be in line with the trend and the times and in line with the interests of mankind."
Director Lou worked hard to persuade Zhou Can to do ideological work.
Because in order to push this matter forward smoothly, Zhou Can's support is necessary.
Director Lou might not have expected that one day the emergency department would be so dependent on a young doctor.
When the other department heads were selecting people, they were very disgusted with Zhou Can, and Director Lou just wanted to recruit two capable trainees. Unexpectedly, by chance, he picked up a treasure.
Among the twenty trainees of that session, no matter whether it was Du Leng with his brilliant academic qualifications, Gao Jian with his strong comprehensive strength, or others, they were far behind Zhou Can in terms of his current achievements.
Although Du Leng has developed a digital operating room, it is not very practical at present.
Moreover, his influence, status and value cannot be compared with Zhou Can.
If Tuya Hospital is now asked to choose between Zhou Can and Du Leng, the top management will unanimously choose Zhou Can without hesitation.
"The emergency department of the Provincial People's Hospital has developed well. If you have time, you can also go and learn about it. I am just mentioning this matter to you for now. Let's try our best to realize it. I wish the dean's term will soon be over. When a new dean is appointed, this plan may very well be aborted."
Director Lou revealed another big news.
