Chapter 350: It's too exaggerated. The dean is anxious.
Everyone else was also waiting for Head Nurse Liu to reveal the answer. They all wanted to know the origins of this young doctor Tuya.
"Dr. Zhou is indeed just a trainee!"
As soon as Head Nurse Liu finished speaking, everyone booed.
And what explosive news is there?
After all this inquiry, this is it?
Didn’t Dr. Zhou emphasize long ago that he is a resident intern?
"Head Nurse Liu is also good at keeping us in suspense now!" Director Wang shook his head and smiled.
Chief nurses and chief physicians are actually at the same level, both are senior professional titles.
Of course, in terms of actual status, chief physician is definitely higher.
Some people may boast that the nursing department and doctors are not in the same system, and there is no hierarchy between the two. This may be a good way to appease newcomers, but veterans who have worked in the medical system for several years will just curl their lips and smile.
When you meet a kind senior, he will kindly remind you, "Young man, you are still young!"
Head Nurse Liu didn't dare to make Director Wang unhappy, let alone leave a bad impression on him.
"My teacher told me that although Dr. Zhou Can is only a resident, he is the most outstanding resident doctor in the history of Tuya Hospital."
After hearing this, everyone agreed with this statement surprisingly unanimously.
How could an ordinary resident doctor have such a high level of medical skills? Dr. Zhou is an expert in both pathological diagnosis and interventional surgery.
This ability is difficult for ordinary doctors to achieve.
"Tuya Hospital is full of talented people. Head Nurse Liu's teacher said that Dr. Zhou is the best resident trainee in Tuya's history. This evaluation seems to be extremely high!"
Director Wang squinted his eyes and inquired.
"My teacher is currently Tuya's chief nurse, so her evaluation should not be exaggerated. She only said that many heavyweight chief physicians at Tuya believe that Dr. Zhou is likely to become Tuya's flagship boss in the near future. He may even push Tuya to a higher level!"
Head Nurse Liu revealed another piece of news that petrified everyone .
After hearing this, Director Wang took a deep breath.
What does it mean to become Tuya’s flagship boss?
As the saying goes, it’s lonely at the top.
Director Wang is a chief physician himself. Although he cannot be compared with Tuya's chief physician, his level is definitely not much worse. After all, the title of senior professional is evaluated by the health authorities and has very strict evaluation standards.
If the applicants for outstanding youth, distinguished youth, Yangtze River Scholars, and academicians, these special honors are the best of the best, then chief physicians are at least the middle and senior elites among doctors.
Ordinary elites usually stop at the level of associate chief physician and wait until retirement.
With each step you take, the difficulty increases exponentially.
Many people think that the title of professor is very impressive, because researchers, masters, and doctors are all students of professors.
But in the eyes of doctors, the title of chief physician is more valuable than the title of professor.
Although both are senior professional titles, one is in the physician series and the other is in the teaching series.
In a large hospital integrating medical care and education, as long as you can be promoted to chief physician, you will almost certainly participate in teaching tasks. It is much easier to be promoted from assistant professor to professor than from resident to chief physician.
Some people would say that the first-level professor is a step that many teaching workers will never be able to reach in their lifetime.
Then isn’t it the same for the chief physician?
Chief physicians also have three levels: third level, second level, first level, and special level.
Most hospitals are only classified as Grade One, and the top hospitals have special directors, who can be thought of as America's super doctors.
However, because the domestic Western medicine system developed later than that of the West, and most areas of science and medicine lag behind the West, the domestic special directors are weaker than the super doctors in the United States in terms of both influence and actual ability.
However, the country's top chief physicians are very smart. In order to look good, most of them will learn some Chinese medicine's Zang-Fu physiology, meridian and acupoint theory, and yin-yang balance to support their image.
This is the most popular slogan at present: "Integration of Chinese and Western Medicine".
When it comes to this, Chinese doctors have certain advantages.
Almost everyone knows a little English. Those who have reached the level of chief physician and have a higher degree of education can even speak multiple languages such as German, Japanese and English.
There is no other way. If you want to study and learn Western medicine, you can only find a lot of original information by yourself.
The Western medicine we are learning now was translated by our predecessors.
Some angry young people are shouting every day that we don’t need to learn foreign languages, and that it is enough to just learn Chinese well. I really don’t know what to say, because the vast majority of the world’s elites are foreigners who can’t speak English and can’t communicate with you.
It's like blocking your own way.
Which of the elites in China doesn't speak fluent English? If they have the chance, they can communicate with foreign friends in English.
In particular, some important academic conferences are held in foreign countries.
I can only speak Chinese, so that’s basically it.
There is no big obstacle for Chinese people to learn English. There are even children as young as five or six years old who can speak both Chinese and English fluently.
However, it is extremely difficult for foreigners to learn Chinese.
Someone once joked that if you want to torture foreigners, just give them a knife and ask them to carve oracle bones. It is guaranteed to make them live a life worse than death.
Although this is just a joke, it also shows that Chinese is indeed difficult to learn.
With a cultural heritage of more than 5,000 years of history, Chinese is destined to have a long history and be far more complex than ordinary languages.
Therefore, although we started learning Western medicine late, we have great innate advantages.
There is a reason why Chinese people are known as the most capable learners in the world.
Director Wang is well aware of how strong Tuya is.
Now, head nurse Liu's teacher actually revealed that Zhou Can is likely to become Tuya's flagship boss in the near future. And this is the evaluation made by several Tuya's chief physicians.
How awesome is that guy named Zhou that so many bigwigs speak so highly of him?
"Head Nurse Liu, is what your teacher said reliable?"
Director Wang asked in a somewhat hurried tone.
Seeing that Head Nurse Liu looked unhappy, he hurriedly explained, "Oh, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to question your teacher. I just wanted to confirm whether Doctor Zhou Can was really that good. This is a bit exaggerated."
Head Nurse Liu's expression slowed down a little.
"My teacher said that this information is all inside information and most people don't know it at all. It's because I have a close relationship with her that she revealed so much to me. She also said that Director Hu Kan of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery wanted to take Dr. Zhou Can as his successor, but Dr. Zhou refused. Director Hu Kan talked for a long time, and Dr. Zhou Can seemed to agree reluctantly. But he only took out part of his time every day to go to the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery to learn from Director Hu Kan."
She revealed another big secret of Zhou Can.
There is no wall that is impenetrable in this world.
Zhou Can never imagined that a head nurse at the county people's hospital in his hometown actually knew the chief nurse of Tuya's cardiothoracic surgery department.
Then, his secrets were dug out.
"Oh my, no wonder Dr. Zhou is so good at performing heart stent surgery! It turns out that he is the successor of Director Hu Kan. It is true that a good teacher produces good students."
Director Wang exclaimed in sudden realization.
Almost all people in the industry have heard of Director Hu Kan’s name. He is a golden signboard of Tuya Hospital and a top figure in the field of cardiothoracic surgery.
Such a powerful boss actually asked Dr. Zhou Can to be his successor.
How talented is this Dr. Zhou?
"If we can persuade such a great genius to stay in our county people's hospital and join our cardiothoracic surgery department, why should we worry about the development of our department?"
Director Wang was so excited that his face turned red, and his eyes glowed green like a wolf.
"Director Wang, I'm not trying to discourage you, but I advise you to give up this unrealistic idea! All the major departments of Tuya Hospital have rushed to invite Dr. Zhou to join, offering extremely tempting conditions, but he rejected them all. The conditions of our hospital are simply incomparable to those of Tuya. It is unlikely that we can keep Dr. Zhou just because of hometown feelings."
Head Nurse Liu revealed another incident involving Zhou Can.
He was able to make the top experts in cardiothoracic surgery beg to be their successor, and all the important departments in Tuya vied to invite him to join. It was not until this moment that everyone realized that the young doctor who seemed unusually low-key just now actually had such a great background.
It is true that you cannot judge a book by its cover, and you cannot measure the depth of the ocean by a bucket.
"I really envy Cheng Dazhuang, who grew up with such a promising young doctor. But I think this is also an opportunity for our hospital. At least when we encounter difficult cases in the future, we can consult Dr. Zhou Can through Cheng Dazhuang!"
Head Nurse Liu said this to Director Wang.
Because the cardiothoracic surgery department of the County People's Hospital often encounters cases that cannot be handled, and the level is really not very good. If I can be with Dr. Zhou Can in the future, many difficult cases and critically ill patients may be saved.
Take the heart attack patient today for example. If Zhou Can hadn’t intervened in time, the final result would have been to tell the family, “I’m sorry, we’ve tried our best, please accept my condolences!”
According to the investigation, the highest mortality rate is not in township health centers or provincial tertiary hospitals like Tuya, but in local county hospitals.
Many patients died who might have been saved if there had been enough financial support or if the medical level of county-level hospitals could have been higher.
In fact, there are very few such lucky people.
The vast majority of patients die in county hospitals, or after being treated in county hospitals for a period of time with no effect, their families transport the patients back home and wait quietly for death.
"This Doctor Zhou is a distinguished guest of our hospital. You must treat him well when you meet him. I have to report this matter to the dean immediately. Thank you for your hard work tonight. Just do what you need to do!"
Director Wang had already taken out his cell phone and was calling the dean while walking away.
"Dean, I'm so sorry to bother you so late at night!"
"It's okay, just tell me what you want to say!"
"We have a distinguished guest from a special status at Tuya Hospital..."
Director Wang recounted Zhou Can’s story in detail.
The director of the county people's hospital was shocked when he heard this.
"Where did you hear all this information? Is a trainee really that amazing?"
"Head Nurse Liu Bin's teacher was the chief nurse of Tuya Cardiothoracic Surgery. Did you know this?"
"I know!"
"That's what her teacher told her. It's absolutely true."
"It's a bit exaggerated that a trainee can be so capable. I also have acquaintances in Tuya, so I'll make a decision after I find out more. But it's great that you can report such important news in a timely manner."
"You are the one in charge of our hospital. Any situation must be reported to you immediately! Then I will stay in the hospital and wait for your news. Is that okay?"
Director Wang flattered the dean at the right time.
"Old Wang wants to wait until the news is verified, get acquainted with Dr. Zhou Can, and get some help in the future?"
The dean asked with a smile.
"Haha, Dean is wise. I can't hide anything from you."
Director Wang admitted it frankly.
"Your cardiothoracic surgery department really needs some technical support! The department in charge often mentions your cardiothoracic surgery department in meetings. Every time I wipe my cold sweat and say nice things with a smile on my face."
The dean took this opportunity to give Director Wang a warning.
As the dean, my biggest headache is that the hospital departments are not up to standard and the medical quality is not up to standard.
"I'm sorry to trouble you. We in the cardiothoracic surgery department have actually been working hard. But as you know, the improvement of medical standards cannot be achieved by simply buying a few sets of equipment. The main problem is the lack of talent! I was very happy when we recruited two medical graduate students last time. But after recruiting them, I found that medical students are really just medical students. Their clinical practice ability is not even as good as that of our own trainees. It is not realistic to expect them to perform major surgeries and diagnose complex cases."
Director Wang complained bitterly.
The talent training cycle for cardiothoracic surgery and neurosurgery is notoriously long. Let alone master's degree graduates, even if two PhDs were recruited, it would still be useless.
No matter how beautifully written a paper is, what’s the use if it can’t cure the disease?
Moreover, many postgraduate students are not very knowledgeable. The research topics they are engaged in during their postgraduate studies are really just makeshift. Many people just want to get a degree.
The end result is that the person we recruit may not be as good as an undergraduate with real talent and knowledge.
The key point is that these highly educated talents are all very arrogant and have a very high tone.
It is common to pretend to obey the instructions of senior doctors but actually disobey them.
What makes Director Wang even more headache is that in order to attract talents to join, precious positions often need to be given priority to these graduate students. With the amulet of the position, it is even more difficult for him, the chief physician, to control those people.
After ending the call with the dean, Director Wang did not go home, but waited quietly in the hospital.
After about half an hour, when he was getting a little anxious, the dean finally called.
"Old Wang, quickly find a way to keep Dr. Zhou Can. I'll be here right away. Make sure to keep him company."
The dean is usually a very steady person, and his authority is unpredictable.
At this moment, he spoke to Director Wang in an extremely hurried tone, and after he finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
You can even faintly hear the sound of doors closing and people running quickly.
Although the county town is not very big, the dean's family has long moved into a villa in the new city area. It takes at least fifteen or sixteen minutes to get here.
Director Wang naturally did not dare to neglect the instructions given by the dean.
He ran to the office on the third floor of the inpatient department while thinking to himself. Listening to the director's hurried tone, it was only when an important leader from the province came to inspect the work that he would say this.
It seems that all the information that Head Nurse Liu heard is true.
This Dr. Zhou is simply a powerful angel sent by God to help the cardiothoracic surgery department. We must hold his thighs tightly. Director Wang gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
When they arrived at the third floor, the two nurses on duty saw Director Wang running over in a hurry and stood up quickly.
"Director Wang!"
They greeted respectfully.
Director Wang just nodded, without stopping, and walked straight to the doctor's office.
Before entering the door, he stopped outside, took a deep breath and adjusted his expression, and then walked in. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke for Dr. Zhou to see him in such a hurry?
