Chapter 387: The dispute between department heads, fulfilling Director Hu's last wish
In the past year or so, Zhou Can has been studying cardiothoracic surgery with Director Hu Kan, and has been doing regular training in various internal medicine departments. In addition, he has to worry about his girlfriend Su Qianqian.
It can be said that he is very busy.
I don't have the energy to care about other things at all.
Xinxiang Women's and Children's Hospital invited him to see patients twice, but Zhou Can later turned them down because he was too busy.
After that, the contact gradually decreased.
In his impression, Xinxiang Women's and Children's Hospital was in a half-dead state. Although the business volume has recovered, it is very limited. It has only been less than a year. Could it be that it has been fully revived?
When I have time, I will ask about it.
"Xiao Zhou, the patient who had appendicitis surgery yesterday, as well as the patient who had duodenal tumor resection surgery and urethral dilation surgery, have all been admitted to the inpatient ward of the emergency department. Remember to make rounds on time every day."
After the meeting, Dr. Xu gave Zhou Can some instructions.
"OK!"
Zhou Can performed the operations on these three patients yesterday. I didn't expect that they would be directly admitted to the emergency department.
I thought that after the emergency surgery, I would be transferred to the specialist inpatient department.
It seems that Director Lou and his team may have already made all the preparations.
"Where is the inpatient ward located?"
He knew nothing about such a big thing.
Director Lou and Doctor Xu must have known about the addition of an inpatient room a long time ago. They are indeed experienced and shrewd people, and they managed to keep their composure. They didn't reveal anything to Zhou Can yesterday.
"Look, it's over there in the observation room! We've temporarily designated a room as an inpatient ward."
Doctor Xu pointed in the direction of the observation room.
Zhou Can walked over there. This was Ye Tingting's territory. But she hadn't come to work yet.
The observation room is indeed very large and there is more than one room.
The room at the very edge has been marked out and turned directly into the first inpatient ward of the emergency department.
Zhou Can walked into the ward and found that only one of the four beds was empty.
All three patients were properly accommodated.
The guy sleeping in the first bed was the one who had a urethral dilation.
"How was it? Did you urinate today?"
Patients who undergo urethral dilation are prone to postoperative infection and inflammation. Especially female patients who have undergone this surgery should not take a sitz bath.
In addition, the dilated urethra can easily become smaller again or even blocked.
In this case, only a secondary dilation operation can be performed.
Also, after the dilation surgery, the patient's urethra becomes edematous, causing the urethra to become narrow in a short period of time. At this time, the patient will experience urine retention.
Some family members and patients don’t understand and think the operation has failed, and some even blame the doctors.
"Yeah, I've already urinated!"
The young man looked a little embarrassed.
“Is urination smooth?”
These are the situations that Zhou Can needs to know when he makes rounds.
"It's fairly smooth, but a little painful." The young man couldn't help but reveal a painful expression on his face when talking about the urination process.
"It's normal to feel a little pain after surgery. I'll prescribe some anti-inflammatory medicine for you. If you can still urinate smoothly tonight, you can go to the doctor tomorrow to complete the discharge procedures. You can go home and recuperate."
Urethral dilation is just a minor operation that requires high technical skills.
It is basically non-invasive.
To put it simply, the original urinary channel is a little small, so an instrument is used to expand the channel.
After checking the condition of this young man, Zhou Can checked the conditions of the other two patients one by one. Not bad, all three operations achieved satisfactory results.
The most serious case should be the patient who had a tumor in the head of the duodenum removed. After all, it was a major operation and involved multiple organs in the thoracic and abdominal cavities.
The operation has a great impact on the patient, and he will definitely not be able to leave the hospital for two or three days.
The patient currently needs to fast and not drink water, and temporarily rely on nutrient solution to get through the darkest moment of his body.
Fortunately, the patient is in good condition after the operation.
He is in good spirits and has no physical complications, including fever. He just needs good care and I believe he will recover soon.
Of course, for this patient, no recurrence of the tumor after surgery is also an important indicator.
For patients like this who have small-scale tumor metastasis, no one can guarantee that there will be no recurrence after surgery.
After the ward rounds, Zhou Can went to the operating room to work.
The department was so supportive of his work, and all resources were being strived for and allocated to him, so he naturally put in all his effort to perform surgery on patients.
For him personally, not only can he accumulate more surgical experience, but he can also continuously improve his medical skills and move towards the level of chief physician.
Around eleven o'clock in the morning, someone called.
But he was in surgery and didn't answer.
It was not until the operation was over that he took out his cell phone to check.
It was Director Xueyan who called.
It must be something important.
Zhou Can quickly called back.
Director Hu Kan passed away before his death, and he handed over the important tasks of the cardiothoracic surgery department to his two apprentices. Although Zhou Can has returned to the emergency department, he will definitely do his best to help if there is anything in the cardiothoracic surgery department.
"Sister Yan, I was performing surgery just now and couldn't answer the phone in time. I'm sorry."
He and Director Xueyan are like siblings, so there is no need for them to be too polite.
Just give a brief explanation of why.
"Can you come to the cardiothoracic surgery meeting room now? There's a big fight going on over the selection of department director. You have a special status, so come and help speak up."
She asked Zhou Can for help.
"Okay, I'll tell Doctor Xu and come right over if the situation allows."
Zhou Can agreed readily.
Director Hu Kan had already made arrangements for the department director before his death. The only regret was that he died suddenly of illness, and there was not even enough time to hand over the baton.
Director Hu knew that his health was not good, but he did not hand over the position of director of cardiothoracic surgery. It was not because he did not want to, but he was worried that one move would have a ripple effect and directly affect the diagnosis and treatment of cardiothoracic surgery and its reputation.
Just like those listed companies, changes in legal persons will have a huge impact on stocks.
There have been rumors that Director Hu Kan has health problems, and even attacks on Tuya for the decline in the level of cardiothoracic surgery. Unfortunately, there is no strong successor to the cardiothoracic surgery department for the time being.
Under such complicated circumstances, both the senior management of Tuya Hospital and Director Hu Kan hope to stabilize the situation.
Therefore, Director Hu had no choice but to hold on and continue to serve as the department director.
He secretly examined the chief physicians and deputy chief physicians who were qualified to take over the position of department director, and finally selected Director Xueyan to take over.
Unfortunately, after the person was selected, there was no time for the transition and Director Hu suddenly passed away, leaving behind controversy.
"I have to go out for something. You two go to Dr. Xu's operating room outside and help!"
After Zhou Can arranged the work with Qiao Yu and Luo Shishen, he came to the operating room outside.
Dr. Xu is currently stitching up the patient's calf trauma.
"Teacher, there's something urgent in the cardiothoracic surgery department. Let me go over there for a moment."
"Are you participating in the operation or the meeting?"
Doctor Xu continued to concentrate on stitching the patient's wound and asked back without raising his head.
"Meeting!"
Zhou Can answered honestly.
He knew very well that Dr. Xu had become a shrewd and calculating person after several years of hard work.
The addition of an inpatient ward to the emergency department was the result of a conspiracy between him and Director Lou.
"Go ahead! Try to stick to your business."
Dr. Xu gave him some warnings.
As Zhou Can's teacher, he not only gave him all-round guidance in medical skills, but also carefully considered and thought about him in terms of how to behave and deal with various crises.
"clear!"
Zhou Can nodded and walked out quickly.
He first changed into a white coat in the dressing room, and then hurried to the cardiothoracic surgery department.
Tuya Hospital is actually quite big.
The distance from the emergency room to the surgical building is relatively short.
But it still takes seven or eight minutes to walk.
…
Not long after, Zhou Can rushed to the cardiothoracic surgery department.
This time, he clearly felt that some people in the department were distracted. Whether it was nurses or doctors, their work attitude seemed to have been affected to a certain extent.
The cardiothoracic surgery sector is already in a precarious situation, and the poor working conditions of medical staff are like adding insult to injury.
Zhou Can saw it and was worried.
All this is because the department director has not been selected yet, there is no one to give orders, and no new cohesion has been formed.
He arrived at the meeting room and heard a fierce argument coming from inside while still outside the door.
Knock on the door and go in.
All the mid-level and above staff in the cardiothoracic surgery department are here.
Director Xie of the Department of Surgery, Vice President Ye who is in charge of medical affairs, and Vice President Bai Ziran who is in charge of administrative affairs were all present.
The participation of two vice presidents also shows the importance of this meeting.
"Doctor Zhou, you've come at the right time. You are one of Director Hu Kan's two important successors. Please give your opinion on the selection of department director!"
When Vice President Ye saw Zhou Can coming in, his eyes lit up slightly.
Zhou Can was pushed directly to the front line.
Each of these vice presidents is extremely capable and has a kind face but a ruthless heart.
When dealing with various matters in the hospital, they often show different ways of handling them. For small matters, they usually handle them gently. For big matters, the more serious the matter, the more ruthless the means.
"Thank you, Dean Ye, for giving me this opportunity to speak!"
Zhou Can looked at the three super bosses sitting in the most important positions.
Director Xie's hair seemed to have turned a lot whiter, and he looked much older.
Vice President Bai is still as charming as ever.
The three super bosses had dealt with Zhou Can before and were familiar with him. When they met, Zhou Can did not show much fear.
To be honest, there are not many junior doctors as good as him in the entire hospital.
For ordinary trainees and residents, it is already very good to know the director of the department. It is impossible to get in touch with super bosses at the level of vice president.
The hospital leaders are the top figures in any hospital.
Belong to the minority at the top of the pyramid.
"When I came in just now, I heard that Director He was the most controversial about the department director issue. I would like to take this opportunity to talk about Director Hu's views before he died."
Zhou Can walked to the front with a serious expression, scanning the entire audience.
His eyes were not sharp, nor were they sharp in any way. Instead, he showed a heartfelt kindness towards the cardiothoracic surgeons.
He knew almost everyone present.
When we meet each other in normal times, we will basically exchange a few warm pleasantries or at least say hello.
"Director Hu's greatest wish was to help the cardiothoracic surgery department get through this crisis and then prosper again. Did you know that even on the night before Director Hu's death, he was still telling me to do my best to help the cardiothoracic surgery department resist the crises that are lurking on all sides. I have grown up under your watch. Almost all of you here are my predecessors, who have helped and supported me in various ways at work. I have always had a deep affection for the cardiothoracic surgery department."
Zhou Can first played the emotional card to win the approval of most people.
Everyone must feel that he is one of their own and that he is someone who truly cares about cardiothoracic surgery. Only then will what he says next be recognized and accepted by everyone.
Otherwise, people will just think he is farting.
"Don't talk about useless things. Just state Director Hu's views when he was alive."
Deputy Director He is in his fifties, which is an age when he is extremely cunning.
He noticed that when everyone looked at Zhou Can, their gazes became soft and kind, and he immediately felt something was wrong.
"Director Hu was sitting in the car the night before yesterday when I sent him home. He told me and Director Xueyan a lot, 'Xueyan, after I die, you will be the director of the department.' Director Xueyan was worried about her lack of experience and refused to accept the position. Director Hu was so angry that he kept scolding her, saying that Director Xueyan was the most suitable candidate for the director of the cardiothoracic surgery department and that only if she took the position would it be most beneficial to the development of the cardiothoracic surgery department. If she didn't agree, Director Hu would die with regrets."
"Finally, Director Xueyan agreed. She also promised Director Hu that she would devote everything to the development of cardiothoracic surgery and do her best to lead the department to new glory."
As soon as Zhou Can finished speaking, the whole audience burst into heated discussions.
This is Director Hu’s last wish, equivalent to the will of an ancient emperor, and is quite authoritative.
Whether it was Director Hu's concern and worry about the fate of cardiothoracic surgery before his death, or Director Xueyan's firm commitment, both deeply touched the hearts of the medical staff present.
As members of the cardiothoracic surgery department, I believe they can feel the great love and the responsibility and mission of the department director.
"Hmph, to be frank, there were only you and Xueyan present. Who knows if it's true?"
Director He became anxious.
If Zhou Can continues to be so sentimental, there will be no way to elect the department director!
Just give it to Xueyan.
The more anxious you are, the more chaotic you will tend to be, and this chaos will lead to huge loopholes.
No wonder Director Hu refused to give up his position as director to Director He during his lifetime. This person is really incompetent.
They lack the necessary overall perspective and magnanimity, and only focus on immediate interests.
"Director He, this is a good question. If it was only Director Xueyan and I who were present, it is possible that we colluded. At least that is what you think. At that time, Director Hu Kan's son drove to pick him up, and Director Hu's son also happened to be sitting in the main driver's seat of the car. If necessary, you can ask Director Hu's son for confirmation. After all, this was Director Hu's last wish before his death. If I lied, or if others questioned Director Hu's last words, it would be a blasphemy to Director Hu. I believe Director Hu's soul will not rest in peace."
Hit the snake at its most vulnerable part.
Zhou Can's words hit the nail on the head, hitting Deputy Director He right in the sore spot.
The doubt was raised by Deputy Director He. Now as long as the will is confirmed to be true, Deputy Director He will have nothing to say.
If you continue to argue, that would be the behavior of a fickle and mean person.
Even without Zhou Can saying anything, everyone would first despise Deputy Director He from the bottom of their hearts.
Not to mention being the department director, even the position of deputy department director will be unstable.
Zhou Can now understood why the emperors of ancient times liked to combine divine power with imperial power.
Although he is an atheist and does not believe in ghosts and gods, the dead are the greatest. The fact that Director Hu's soul cannot rest in peace can cause great damage.
In the eyes of everyone in the cardiothoracic surgery department, Director Hu Kan is like a god and is deeply respected and loved by everyone.
Deputy Director He questioned Director Hu's last words, causing Director Hu's soul to rest in peace. This shows that he wants to become everyone's enemy.
Although no one said anything, the way they looked at Deputy Director He was no longer friendly and kind, but rather unfamiliar.
The people's hearts are like water, flowing like smoke.
Some of Deputy Director He's reckless words and deeds were ultimately severely damaged by Zhou Can's verbal attack.
Deputy Director He was so angry and furious when his image was ruined like this that his face turned black.
But he just couldn't refute it.
Zhou Can did not mention anyone by name, nor did he attack him directly.
Zhou Can has taken swearing without using any dirty words to the extreme.
