Chapter 378: Section Chief Selection, Bad News
As long as you are better than your past self, that is progress and it is a good thing.
"Well, it's getting late, everyone go home and have a rest! There will be a lot of new diagnosis and treatment work waiting for you tomorrow! We doctors are destined to work hard all our lives from the moment we start practicing medicine. Every time I want to stop and have a good rest, I can't help but think, can the patients wait?"
Director Hu Kan’s words made everyone fall into deep thought.
"The answer is obvious. Patients can't wait! So I was busy like this for most of my life, until my physical condition didn't allow it, and then I slowly became idle."
His words were simple and ordinary, but they deeply touched everyone's heart.
Doctors are born to work hard.
Director Hu Kan is a true portrayal of the life of the vast majority of medical staff.
"Director Hu, you are still shining even now! If our cardiothoracic surgery department hadn't had you gritting your teeth to support us, I can't imagine what would have happened."
That's true.
It is hard to predict what the cardiothoracic surgery department would be like if Director Hu Kan gave up on the hospital's affairs after he fell ill.
"As for me... ever since I joined the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, I have been destined to use up my last bit of energy for this department. Don't spread this out, or people will laugh at me for bragging about myself!"
Director Hu smiled and waved his hand, then slowly walked out with the help of Director Zhou Can and Director Xueyan.
Normally, when Zhou Can was around, it would be Zhou Can who would escort him to the car alone.
Director Hu is a reasonable person in everything he says and does, and his son is also very filial. He drives on time every day and waits in front of the hospital's surgical building.
When seeing Zhou Can, he would greet him with a friendly smile.
He would get out of the car as soon as possible, open the door early, and help Director Hu sit in the back seat.
"Xiao Zhou, Xueyan, you two look like a pair of siblings!"
Director Hu Kan got into the car, squinted his eyes, looked at the two of them, and spoke in a very serious tone.
"Ah... Really? Maybe Xiao Zhou and I look a bit similar!"
Director Xueyan touched her face and answered with a surprised smile.
"It's not that you look alike, but you both have similar temperaments. You're both kind, but you can be sharp when you need to be, and you're flexible and resourceful in doing things. Also, your temperaments and personalities seem to be quite compatible, and you're not much different from real siblings."
Director Hu continued to correct Xueyan's answer in a very serious tone.
"If I ever collapse completely, Xueyan, I hope you can shoulder the burden of the department. I have already discussed this matter with Director Xie and Deputy Director He of the department. In terms of procedures, it shouldn't be a big deal. Xiao Zhou, I know that the small fish pond of cardiothoracic surgery can't keep you, but I hope you can help Xueyan more and help her secure the position of department director. Help her stabilize the development of cardiothoracic surgery. If there is anything important, you two should discuss it as much as possible like a family."
Director Hu Kan seemed to talk a lot today.
Even though he was so tired that he was gasping for breath while speaking, he still insisted on finishing his words.
It sounds a bit like making arrangements for one's last wishes.
"Sister Yan has always taken special care of me. Now that she has become the director of the cardiothoracic surgery department, I will definitely do my best to help her." Zhou Can's words were quite meaningful.
Because of his special position in cardiothoracic surgery, almost everyone knows that he is Director Hu's direct disciple and is the heir apparent.
Look at Director Le, Jin Mingxi and others, who are also Director Hu’s apprentices, and the treatment they receive is obviously different.
The so-called difference between close and distant relatives.
There are differences between the successor and ordinary successors, and between ordinary successors and those "registered disciples" who have followed Director Hu Kan for a few months.
First of all, Zhou Can has the status of a successor, and everyone recognizes his special status.
Whether it is the inheritance of the ancient throne or the succession of a certain martial arts school or traditional Chinese medicine school, the word "orthodoxy" is important.
Zhou Can is recognized as the orthodox inheritor of Director Hu Kan's medical skills.
Secondly, Zhou Can's surgical and diagnostic abilities are there. Although he is just a newly graduated resident, his ability can compete with many deputy chief physicians in cardiothoracic surgery.
Strength is always the best choice to establish authority and ensure status.
With him standing behind and supporting Xueyan in becoming the director of the cardiothoracic surgery department, the controversy will definitely be much smaller.
"Teacher, I have little experience, my medical skills are not good enough, and my management ability is also poor. If you want me to be the department director, I... really don't have the ability! You should consider choosing Director Le, Director He and others!"
Director Xueyan seemed quite unconfident.
Such a large department was given to her to take charge, but she seemed to lack confidence.
"Nonsense! The department director is responsible for leading the entire department, so how can we just pick anyone? Deputy Director He is indeed experienced and has good personal abilities, but his specialty is thoracic surgery. The core of our cardiothoracic surgery is the heart. Just based on this one reason, he cannot be the department director."
Director Hu Kan was rarely angry.
Even though he was panting heavily after speaking a few words and needed help when walking, when he got angry, he was as powerful as a tsunami, which was frightening.
This is the authority of a department head.
Cardiothoracic surgery is actually composed of two specialties: cardiac surgery and thoracic surgery. If cardiac surgery is separated, the status of thoracic surgery will be no different from that of a supporting role.
Director He's position in cardiothoracic surgery is not as high as imagined.
At least the medical staff in the field of cardiac surgery do not recognize Director He.
"Teacher, don't be angry! If Deputy Director He is not good enough, then what about Director Le? He has more experience than me, and his medical skills are not inferior to mine!"
Director Xueyan does n't seem to be interested in taking over as department director.
If it were someone else, they would have rushed to accept such a good thing.
How can I push it out?
"Director Le's medical potential is actually not as good as yours, and he lacks a sense of the overall situation, a long-term vision, and a decisiveness. He can't even be the director of the department, let alone the deputy director. When you choose a deputy director of a department in the future, you must pay attention to comprehensive considerations and never make compromises or act on emotion."
Director Hu spoke clearly and with foresight, which showed that his mind was very clear when he said these words to Zhou Can and Xueyan.
These thoughts were most likely the choices he made after careful consideration and secret observation over the past few days.
A kind man cannot command an army, and a righteous man cannot do business.
Not just anyone can be the department director.
Not only do you need to have strong medical skills, but you also need to have excellent management and coordination skills and be foresighted.
This is also why the heads of many departments are not chief physicians, but may be attending physicians.
It is not the case that all chief physicians are only focused on reading books of sages and are oblivious to what is happening outside. They have to delve into medical skills and therefore have no time to do management work.
Instead, many technical talents engaged in research and academics are only suitable to be technical talents and are unable to be competent for management positions.
"You are the most suitable person to take over the position of director of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery right now! I will hand over the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery to you. Even if I really die one day, I can leave with peace of mind."
Director Hu Kan looked at Xueyan, and there was even a hint of pleading in his eyes.
This is an old man's plea to ensure the stability and prosperity of the department.
"I promise you! It doesn't matter if it's a little bit hard or tiring. I'm just afraid of disappointing your high hopes."
Faced with Director Hu's pleading eyes, Director Xueyan finally agreed to this matter.
She is a woman with a kind heart.
Director Hu Kan was her mentor, and she couldn't possibly refuse his plea.
"Do your best. I believe you won't make the mistake! If there is anything important, you can consult with more people. Especially Xiao Zhou's opinions, you can listen more to them."
Director Hu Kan’s recognition of Zhou Can was beyond imagination.
Not only is he recognized for his medical skills, but he is also recognized for the way he is as a person and the way he does things.
"I will keep your instructions in mind!"
Xueyan nodded solemnly.
"You all should go home and rest early! Let's go!"
Director Hu Kan waved to them, and the car started and slowly drove away into the distance.
No one expected that when sending Director Hu downstairs tonight, he would be told such an important matter.
"Sister Yan, you can do your job without worry, Director. If you need my help, please call me anytime. I would help you even if you don't need me to. But you know, I will lead my own surgical team in the emergency department in the future. Once I get busy, it will be difficult for me to be the first to know any news from the cardiothoracic surgery department."
Zhou Can strongly supports Xueyan to be the director of this department.
Whether out of personal feelings or interests, Zhou Can hopes that Xueyan will be the director of this department.
"Well, I won't be polite with you." She nodded, and the two looked into each other's eyes and smiled. Everything was said without words.
…
Zhou Can walked straight to the garage. Now he basically never went back to the dormitory, but went directly back to Bajing Lake to live with Su Qianqian.
When he got home, Su Qianqian was sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for him.
Now, with Zhou Can's strong intervention, her work is no longer so busy.
You know, Zhou Can is her boss, so it is not particularly difficult to arrange this matter.
Li Lao could also understand.
It is impossible for a mature entertainment company to rely on one artist. After Su Qianqian gradually faded out, the promotion and packaging resources were used on other artists, and new stars were created.
At most, those newly created stars are not as popular as Su Qianqian.
This world will not stop running without anyone.
Humans are the most important creatures in the world and also the most adaptable. If we observe carefully, we will find that we can live well without anyone.
Whether it’s a childhood sweetheart or the parents who gave birth to us and raised us.
At most, you will feel sad when you just leave.
After a period of time, the sadness will gradually subside and you will gradually return to normal life.
"Honey, I left some food for you! It's warming up in the incubator!"
When Su Qianqian saw him coming back, she immediately put down the lyrics and music score in her hands and ran to the door to greet him.
This kind of sweet welcome is generally only common in island countries.
She has a deep relationship with Zhou Can, and her work is not so busy now, so she is very happy to see Zhou Can come back every day.
This is how the emotional world between two people is.
In fact, even if Zhou Can was busy until eleven or twelve o'clock every day, he would still drag his tired body and drive for more than 40 minutes to return to his home in Bajing Lake, just to see the girl in his heart.
Because he knew that she was waiting for him to return home.
"Although I've eaten in the hospital, I have to eat some of the food my wife prepared."
In fact, he had already eaten a bowl of fried noodles with egg when he got off work.
He couldn't bear to refuse Su Qianqian's kindness.
Brought it out and took a few bites.
Then, because the food she cooked was so delicious, I couldn’t stop eating after a few bites.
"No, no, if I keep eating like this, I'll get fatter and fatter. Qianqian, next time I send you a message and don't go home for dinner, don't leave food for me, okay?"
While Zhou Can was cleaning up the dishes and putting them into the dishwasher, he was discussing with Su Qianqian.
"Well... I'll see! Actually, the meals I've left for you are all healthy dishes that won't make you gain weight. If you say you won't come back for dinner while I'm cooking, I won't be interested. So, I especially hope that you can come home for dinner every day. In the future, when we have children, we'll need a warm family environment even more."
After receiving treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, she is now seeing hope for recovery.
So, she began to look forward to their wedding and life with children after marriage.
The savings they have now are enough to buy a villa anywhere in the provincial capital.
But people are strange like that.
Now that she has money, she is not in a hurry to buy a villa. This house is where they fell in love, and it has special meaning to her.
The house itself is also very nice and is a high-end property.
The community environment and surrounding supporting facilities are very good.
So, she likes living here very much.
"I definitely hope to go home for dinner every day, and I cherish every minute and every second I spend with you. But you also know that the nature of my work is special. Sometimes I have to save patients' lives and have no time to take care of other things. After I work for a few more years, have more experience, and the surgical team is stable, maybe I can realize this simplest wish."
Zhou Can has a clear plan for his life.
Now is not the age to indulge in pleasure, we need to work harder.
"Okay! You take the trouble to come and accompany me so late every day. For me, I am already very happy."
She is different from those unreasonable women and is very open-minded.
Make concessions when you should, and be flexible when you should, and never be stubborn.
"You have to go to the hospital at around 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, so take a shower and go to bed!"
She had already found pajamas for Zhou Can.
Having a girlfriend is indeed a very happy thing for a man.
…
In the middle of the night, Zhou Can was sleeping soundly and his cell phone kept ringing.
He resisted the urge to sleep and reached over to answer the call. "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Doctor Zhou, please come to the hospital quickly. Director Hu Kan is in trouble."
Zhou Can's sleepiness suddenly disappeared.
"What happened to Director Hu?"
He remembered that Director Hu was fine when he sent him home last night.
"I don't know the details. The family rushed him to the hospital in the middle of the night and he was brought back by ambulance. He might have had another heart attack. He is currently being treated in the No. 2 operating room of the cardiothoracic surgery department. Please come quickly!"
"Okay, I'll be there right away. It's just that I live a little far away, so it might take about an hour."
Zhou Can hung up the phone and quickly got up and got dressed.
