Chapter 395: Reconciliation, the First Expansion of the Emergency Department
After receiving guidance from Dr. Xu, Zhou Can felt somewhat relieved.
The teacher's surgical skills are so strong that even he has caused deaths. Zhou Can's case was just a missed diagnosis this time, which is really nothing.
"Teacher, I know what to do from now on."
After Zhou Can thought for a moment, his eyes gradually brightened up again, and his confidence to seek bravely returned.
This was also directly reflected in his subsequent work.
After the ward rounds, he came to the emergency operating room and was hardly affected at all.
Complete each operation with full concentration.
Qiao Yu is a very excellent and competent surgical nurse who has multiple roles. She is responsible for the work of three roles: hand-washing nurse, circulating nurse and instrument nurse.
Not only do they need to accurately and timely supply the instruments and supplies needed during the operation, but they also need to closely observe the changes in the patient's condition and ensure smooth infusion and blood transfusion. Occasionally, they also need to anticipate possible accidents in advance, make emergency preparations, and cooperate with Zhou Can to rescue the patient.
After the operation, she also needs to count the number of gauze, pads, stitches and other items and keep records.
Next, we need to understand the condition of the next surgical patient, the surgical plan, and then prepare the corresponding equipment, medicines, and consumables.
Luo Shishen is a young man with many shortcomings. He is also a rookie and can't share much of the work.
Sometimes you have to get into trouble and make small mistakes from time to time.
Zhou Can miraculously discovered that every time he wanted to curse someone, he could suppress his anger and never cursed him once.
Under Zhou Can's training, Luo Shishen's progress was quite obvious.
Gradually, the auxiliary work during surgery, such as retractors, detoxification, and operation of the aspirator for sucking blood and pus, has been done better and better.
If you want to reach a qualified level, it will probably take a long period of training and exercise.
There is no way, this is the condition of the emergency department.
It would be nice to have an intern to help out.
You can't be picky anymore.
One thing is worth affirming, that is, he always completed the tasks assigned to Luo Shishen without compromise. Another thing is that he has a strong self-esteem. For example, his bad habit of asking questions without hesitation has improved a lot after Zhou Can reprimanded him.
At least Zhou Can is no longer used as a popular science book.
Other things, for example, he thought Qiao Yu spoke for him and had a good impression of him, so he tried to ask for Qiao Yu's contact information and show his affection. After being rejected, he didn't say a word to Qiao Yu in the first two days.
Maybe he figured it out later, and now he is able to cooperate with the normal work without getting upset.
He never bothered Qiao Yu again in private.
These behaviors are somewhat courageous and make people look up to them.
If he really had so many bad habits and refused to change, Zhou Can would have asked Dr. Xu to replace him long ago.
…
After get off work, Zhou Can took the initiative to call Director Tang Fei of the Pediatrics Department.
"Director Tang, how did you deal with that patient in the end?"
"After our hospital patiently explained and presented evidence, the family said they would not pursue the matter any further. We specially invited an orthopedic specialist to reinforce the child's shoulder joint with a plaster cast, and will take an X-ray after a while to see the situation. I don't think there will be any major problems. Children have a strong healing ability, and as long as they rest for about a month, the fracture line should be completely closed."
The child had a fracture and crack in his right shoulder glenoid, which must have been caused by falling from the car.
It's just that the area is hidden, and the joint was dislocated when the X-ray was taken, so I never thought that the glenoid cavity would be fractured.
Zhou Can is responsible for this matter, but it is far from being a fault.
The fact that the family members were able to forgive Zhou Can shows that they were reasonable. Otherwise, if they were some difficult or greedy family members, they might not let go and ask the hospital to pay a sum of money.
Medical disputes are nothing new.
The resolution of this matter is quite good.
"I'm sorry for causing trouble to you and the hospital this time! I will be more careful in the future to avoid accidents." Zhou Can breathed a sigh of relief and made a promise to Director Tang Fei.
You must have an attitude when doing wrong things.
If you are wrong, you are wrong. There is no reason to explain it.
"Don't have any psychological burden, just learn from the lesson. Goodbye." Director Tang Fei comforted him and hung up the phone.
Zhou Can felt deeply touched by the protection and tolerance shown to him by the pediatric department and the hospital.
He remembered the information he got from Lao Qin yesterday and decided to call and report the matter to the hospital leaders.
When it comes to competition from other hospitals, finding Xueyan, the new director of cardiothoracic surgery, won't help much.
Because what she can do is to ensure the stable operation of the department, improve the quality of medical care and the level of treatment as much as possible.
This matter needs to be reported to the hospital-level leadership.
It is a strategic issue.
Zhou Can opened the phone book, found the number of Vice President Ye who was in charge of medical affairs, and called him directly.
It was my first time calling the vice president, and I was a little nervous.
After a few rings, the call was connected.
"Xiao Zhou, this is the first time you've called me in three years, right? What's the matter?"
Vice President Ye actually saved his phone number, which made Zhou Can flattered.
"Hello, President Ye. I have something to share with you! I have received reliable information that the Third Hospital has recruited a famous cardiac surgery expert from Japan. I think they will make an official announcement in the next few days."
Zhou Can stated the information straight to the point.
This piece of information was actually of no use to him, but it was definitely useful to Tuya Hospital.
The competition among major hospitals is like a war without the smoke of gunpowder.
It is very important to know the actions of other competing hospitals in advance.
"Thank you for providing me with such important information. I recently returned to the emergency department and started working officially. Is everything going well?"
After Vice President Ye received the news, he did not ask any further questions.
Instead, he changed the subject and showed concern for Zhou Can's work.
"Thank you for your concern. Everything is going well. But I still have a lot to improve. Whether it's experience or medical skills, I need to accumulate and improve them in practice."
After Zhou Can led the team to perform surgery alone, he really felt that it is only in one’s prime that one realizes how difficult it is to start a business.
He is basically capable of performing common and common level tertiary surgeries.
He clearly felt his lack of ability in performing surgeries on patients with complex conditions or extremely difficult lesions.
"Learning never stops! It's great that you can be humble and keep working hard. When doing any work, you must not expect to achieve it all in one go. You must take one step at a time to walk steadily and go far."
Vice President Ye speaks with great eloquence.
Hearing Zhou Can's repeated agreement, the two chatted briefly and ended the call.
In the following days, Zhou Can worked hard every day, studied, and practiced the quick knife techniques and steady knife techniques.
The impact of Director Hu Kan's death on him is gradually fading.
Time is the best healing medicine and can dilute everything.
Zhou Can can perform 20 to 30 surgeries every day in the emergency department. Only on Wednesdays will the number of surgeries be lower.
Basically, two level three surgeries are performed every day which has become an unshakable habit.
This is the special care he received from the emergency department.
The department will help him select suitable surgical patients and then retain them. It seems like an insignificant thing, but it requires the joint efforts of doctors and nurses to do a good job of taking care of patients.
…
Before I knew it, more than a month had passed.
Zhou Can's surgical skills are steadily improving, and his diagnosis and treatment experience is becoming more and more rich.
The Third Hospital had not officially announced the high-paid cardiac surgery expert it had hired from Japan. Zhou Can couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Was this reliable?
Is there anything wrong with the information provided by Lao Qin?
He reported the matter to Vice President Ye. If it had not happened, what would Vice President Ye think of him?
People will definitely think that Xiao Zhou is a young man with a thick tongue and is not reliable in doing things.
I don't know where this fake news came from, but I still believed it.
This will definitely have a negative impact on Zhou Can's personal reputation.
Recently, the Provincial People's Hospital has been making frequent efforts in the field of cardiothoracic surgery, and the promotion of various academic papers and high-difficulty classic disease cases has been ongoing.
In addition, Xinxiang Maternity and Child Health Hospital is unexpectedly powerful, like a unicorn that suddenly appears.
It has made great strides in the fields of surgical operations, oncology, and critical care. The number of surgeries and the number of critically ill patients rescued have more than doubled compared to last month.
News about cancer patients who have their tumors removed and then receive radiotherapy and chemotherapy and are able to recover and be discharged from the hospital are also frequently reported in the media.
Even appeared on TV news twice.
Its targeted drug precision treatment and immunotherapy are also being promoted in a high-profile manner. It has poached many well-known expert teams in the industry.
Just three words: awesome.
Early in the morning, the emergency department held its weekly meeting as usual.
At this time, Zhou Can had become the number one surgeon in the emergency department, and his popularity even surpassed that of Dr. Xu.
Last month, his surgical team alone completed 821 operations, including 58 level 3 operations. This is an amazing achievement.
And to date, he has maintained the miraculous record of zero surgical failures.
This respect is quite similar to the glory of Director Hu Kan in the past.
In addition, he had obtained the certificate of completion of the regular training not long ago, and his examination results were excellent. There was actually no suspense about this matter, it just required a period of waiting.
The hospital's personnel department signed a formal employment contract with him.
After more than three years of hard work, he finally succeeded and became a formal resident doctor at Tuya Hospital. He was certified and officially a contract worker.
As for wanting to go further and get a place in the department, you still need to work hard and wait for the opportunity.
If this trend continues, it will be only a matter of time before we compete for a position in the establishment system.
Director Lou naturally took the C position in the leadership seat of the conference room. His face was full of joy and rosy.
The vigorous development of the department made him, the department director, very happy.
"Good morning, colleagues! First of all, I want to announce a good news. Thanks to everyone's joint efforts, the performance of our emergency department increased by 270% last month. I am very pleased and surprised to have achieved such a remarkable result. I hope everyone can unite and work together to continue to maintain it. Due to the rapid development of our department's business, the staff is seriously insufficient."
The performance has tripled, which is really amazing.
I believe that everyone’s salary has also risen and changed significantly.
It is very tiring, but seeing the skyrocketing wages, the medical staff have the motivation to continue their efforts.
"Many doctors and nurses worked overtime without complaint and silently worked together for the prosperity of the department. I saw all of this and was deeply moved. Last week, I applied to the hospital for additional doctors and nurses. The hospital was very supportive and gave our department full support, adding two formal residents and three formal nurses. The number of interns and trainees increased by four."
Director Lou announced another good news.
A total of nine new medical staff were added, which undoubtedly injected strong fresh blood and power into the emergency department.
It can greatly alleviate the shortage of manpower.
"Everyone welcomes the new colleagues. Please introduce yourselves to the nine new colleagues."
As soon as Director Lou finished speaking, everyone applauded.
The nine people sitting in the back row stood up and introduced themselves one by one.
"Hello, colleagues and leaders. My name is Zheng Xuecheng. I am a resident transferred from the pancreatic surgery department of general surgery. I am good at all kinds of first and second level surgeries in the field of general pancreatic surgery. Please take care of me in the future."
After saying this, he bowed to everyone.
"Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Shuangshuang, a female resident physician from the Department of Endocrinology. I hope you, seniors and colleagues, will take good care of me."
Female medical residents are a scarce resource.
The young male doctors in the emergency department couldn't help but focus their eyes on her.
His appearance is not outstanding, he has an ordinary face, a medium build, and is estimated to be about 1.6 meters tall.
Quite young, probably around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
Zhou Can's eyes flickered slightly, but there was no expression on his face.
As expected, the two full-time residents assigned to the emergency department were both eliminated from other departments.
There is no way. The status of the emergency department, which specializes in collecting junk, cannot be improved significantly in one or two months.
It was not easy for the hospital to generously allocate nine medical staff to it this time.
It is definitely a huge improvement for the emergency department.
After the two resident doctors finished their introduction, it was the turn of three regular nurses. One of them was surprisingly familiar to Zhou Can, and it was none other than Ye Tingting's cousin.
That night, Zhou Can was taken out for a meal.
After getting to know her, he felt that Ye Tingting's cousin was smart and had good professional knowledge, so he agreed to find an opportunity to transfer her to the emergency department.
Zhou Can didn't actually put in any effort to help her turn around this time.
It was all Ye Tingting who was behind this.
Zhou Can had no way of knowing whether he had contacted Director Lou and Head Nurse Niu Lan privately.
It is not difficult for a formal nurse to enter the emergency department as long as the hospital provides a quota. Many nurses are unwilling to enter the emergency department at all.
Basically, as long as you have worked in Tuya for a period of time, you know what the emergency department is like.
When looking for a job, everyone wants to find a good job and will consider income and development opportunities. The emergency department is notoriously "poor" and "small", and medical staff with a little ability avoid it.
Ye Tingting asked Zhou Can for help not to transfer her cousin to the emergency department, but to find an opportunity for her cousin to undergo surgery with Zhou Can.
She is optimistic about Zhou Can's development potential.
I have to say that Ye Tingting is a woman with good taste.
Zhou Can has just established a surgical team, so the threshold for recruiting people is relatively low. When Zhou Can's surgical team becomes strong, it will be difficult to get in.
"Zheng Xuecheng, you will be temporarily assigned to work in the emergency operating room. Occasionally, you may need to work overtime and sit in front for consultations."
Director Lou and nine other new employees introduced themselves and began to assign specific work positions.
"Jiang Shuangshuang, you will be assigned to the emergency inpatient room and work with Dr. Lin Ping to manage the inpatients. If there is anything, you should listen to Dr. Lin Ping's advice."
This one sentence established Dr. Lin Ping's dominant position.
The management of the inpatient ward has been carried out by Lin Ping and an intern .
As Zhou Can steadily performs about 30 surgeries on patients every day, most of them can leave after treatment, while a few need to be hospitalized.
Even if there are only three hospitalized patients a day, it is already amazing.
Because many patients may not be able to be discharged from the hospital within three days.
Adding a formal resident to help manage the inpatient ward can greatly relieve the pressure on Dr. Lin Ping.
