Chapter 407: The oath of love, a man without public morality
After leaving Cao Zheng's house, Zhou Can felt somewhat depressed.
As long as his girlfriend's illness is not cured, it will be a worry for him.
Su Qianqian regarded him as her only support in the world. As her fiancé, he had the obligation and responsibility to help her cure her illness and make her the happiest woman in the world.
However, the two main ingredients were too difficult to find. Over the past six months, he had tried many methods but had not achieved much success.
Some things are hard to buy even if you have a lot of money.
Because there is no stock in the market.
"I don't know when I can buy the seven-colored toad and purple-backed octagonal lotus. It's not a good idea to just wait like this. I have to call Chen Guoli, an old Chinese doctor, tomorrow to think of other ways."
Zhou Can was thinking while driving.
When he got home, Su Qianqian was sitting on the sofa waiting for him. When she saw him coming back, she happily stood up to greet him and helped him pick up his things, acting like a gentle and virtuous wife.
"The bag is very heavy, don't lift it, let me do it!" Zhou Can didn't let her lift heavy objects.
"What are these two bags of what?"
Su Qianqian waited until Zhou Can entered the room and closed the door.
"Today, I went to a Sichuan restaurant with my colleagues and met two Tibetans. No one was buying their medicinal herbs, so I bought some."
These two bags of medicine cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Zhou Can hasn’t figured out how to deal with it yet.
"Oh, yes. This is a gift from an important leader when he visited me. He said it was a wild ginseng, just right for nourishing your body."
Zhou Can took out a long box from his arms.
To be honest, the packaging is not that great.
He gave some cordyceps and deer antlers to Cao Zhengguo, and when he said goodbye, Cao Zhengguo casually took out a small rectangular box from the drawer and gave it to him. He said it was a wild ginseng, and it was a gift to Zhou Can.
From the gift Cao Zhengguo gave him in return, it can be seen that he did not treat Zhou Can as a subordinate.
Instead, he was treated as a friend or an important guest of similar level.
"Thank you, dear! But you work so hard every day, you should take care of it together. Otherwise, I will cut some now, soak it in water, and we can each drink a glass."
As she spoke, she was already walking towards the kitchen with the box.
Ginseng is an expensive supplement and a very nutritious food.
Therefore, experienced people will choose to take the tonic in multiple doses rather than eating a whole ginseng in one go.
If you supplement too much, you may suffer from nosebleeds at the very least, or even suffer serious damage and sudden death.
Generally, wealthy families, when they buy real good ginseng, usually slice it, take a small amount and soak it in water or mix it with other medicinal materials, and take a small amount at a time, divided into multiple times, as a long-term tonic to nourish the body.
This is basically how the kings, nobles, landlords and wealthy people in ancient times ate.
"Wow, this wild ginseng is so big! The quality is also very good. The price must be quite expensive." Su Qianqian exclaimed and ran out with the wild ginseng to show Zhou Can.
After Zhou Can took it, he looked at it carefully under the light with a serious expression.
"The last time I bought you a wild ginseng, it cost more than 160,000 yuan, and it was not even half the size of this one, and its quality was far inferior to this one. Mr. Cao gave me such a valuable gift in return, so I have to pay it back next time."
The items have already been received, so returning them is definitely not an option.
The medicinal herbs Zhou Can gave to Cao Zhengguo were worth only two or three thousand at most. He didn't dare to give too expensive gifts when he first visited Cao Zhengguo, otherwise people would think he was offering bribes.
Especially these retired senior officials are extremely sensitive.
When I received the box of wild ginseng, I thought it was very ordinary, even cheap. I never expected that the ginseng inside was of such high quality.
Could it be that other people gave Cao Zhengguo too many gifts, and after receiving them, he never even looked at them?
Cao Zhengguo thought it was just an ordinary wild ginseng, so he gave it to himself as a gift?
It is possible.
Zhou Can's mind was working rapidly.
"It's okay, just slice it and soak it in water first! I'll just send him a message to remind him."
If you accept a valuable gift from someone and then pretend nothing happened, that is a very unethical behavior.
Even if you don't return the gift, you can still mention it and tell the other person that you are grateful for their kindness and that you are taking advantage of them. That's fine too!
"Mr. Cao, thank you for your precious wild ginseng! I am overwhelmed to accept such a valuable item."
"This is red ginseng, which can nourish the kidneys and replenish qi and blood. It is useless for me to keep it, but maybe it can alleviate your girlfriend's condition." Cao Zhengguo replied with a message and stated the deep meaning of giving the wild ginseng.
Zhou Can couldn't help but feel even more grateful.
"Thank you for your generous gift! Hosh!"
As expected, they knew everything. I accepted it and would think of a way to give back later.
Human relationships are supposed to be like this, with give and take, and only then can they last forever.
"Honey, when I cut this ginseng open, the inside is red. Do you think it has gone bad because it has been stored for too long?"
Su Qianqian said in the kitchen.
"Mr. Cao said this is red ginseng, and it's for you to nourish your body."
After Zhou Can finished speaking, he realized that he had let the cat out of the bag.
Given her intelligence, she probably couldn't hide the fact that her kidney disease was taking a turn for the worse.
"I'm going to take a shower first!"
Zhou Can made an excuse and went into the bathroom with his bathrobe.
When he came out, Su Qianqian had already prepared ginseng soup for him.
"Drink it while it's hot! The red ginseng seems to have a stronger aroma, and the ginseng soup made from it is especially delicious."
Su Qianqian handed him the cup.
Many people cannot distinguish between blood ginseng, ginseng and red ginseng.
Blood ginseng is also known as danshen, red danshen, red root, red robe, etc., but no one calls it red ginseng because it does not deserve it.
Needless to say, some old and high-quality ginseng can cost up to millions per stem.
After being processed and artificially treated, good ginseng is called red ginseng. It has stronger medicinal effects than ginseng and is more expensive.
Zhou Can didn't want to drink it at first and wanted to save it for her.
But seeing her concerned look, he finally took it and drank it.
It doesn't taste like much, just bitter with a hint of sweetness and a strong earthy smell. Almost all ginsengs taste like this.
The difference between this red ginseng soup and ordinary ginseng soup is that the soup made from this red ginseng is thicker. After drinking it, your mouth will become salivating and you will feel refreshed.
After Zhou Can finished drinking, Su Qianqian hugged him and leaned on his shoulder.
"Tell me the truth, has my condition worsened again?"
Sure enough, she is such a smart woman that she can deduce anything from the slightest clue.
"The situation is fine, just a little bit different. I plan to take you to see Dr. Chen Guoli tomorrow to consult."
Zhou Can knew he couldn't hide it, so he just told it.
"I felt it as soon as you came back. At that time, I was wondering why you suddenly bought two large bags of Chinese medicinal herbs. Later, I guessed that you might be trying to help me find the two main herbs. Dear, thank you for always loving me and pampering me."
She hugged Zhou Can tighter.
"Isn't this what I should do? You are the other half of my life. Being good to you is being good to myself." Zhou Can gently stroked her hair.
He could feel Su Qianqian's trust and dependence on him.
It also strengthened my determination to do everything possible to cure her.
…
The next day, Zhou Can rushed to the hospital to work without mentioning anything.
Now that I have become the main force in the emergency department's operating room, I can no longer take leave easily.
It is actually quite difficult for doctors and nurses in clinical departments to take leave.
Many people's vacations have been delayed for more than 20 days, and the higher-ups have been dragging their feet with various excuses and simply not giving them vacations. On the one hand, the hospital is indeed very busy, and on the other hand, the people in the administrative department are just like that.
He likes to use all the power in his hands to make things difficult for the hard-working medical staff in the clinical departments.
Department heads sometimes go even further in this regard.
Zhou Can just has a special status and outstanding potential, so he cannot feel the cruelty and darkness.
In addition, the atmosphere in Tuya's emergency department is quite good, and Director Lou is also working hard to make the department stronger. He rarely does things that exploit department members.
Compared with other departments, the emergency department is already much weaker. If the department director continues to make things difficult and exploit the medical staff, they will all run away.
After all, we are all highly educated people. If we are really unhappy, we might as well change jobs in another hospital.
Tuya Hospital has a high status in the medical community, and the medical staff who leave are well recognized by the outside world. The positions they get are naturally not too bad.
Another busy day.
Zhou Can felt very pleased to see patients suffering from illnesses being relieved of their pain after surgery, which gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
The entire surgical team was obviously more united after last night's dinner.
If yesterday's unity was just superficial, today's unity is the harmony that comes from the heart.
Ma Xiaolan didn't actually have a smile on her face yesterday.
She laughed a lot today.
Her work enthusiasm was also significantly higher, and she was much more enthusiastic even when sending patients into the operating room.
After get off work, Dr. Xu announced, "All of you surgical nurses, please work overtime and take inventory of the items in the equipment warehouse. I went in and took a look today. Some of the sutures were empty, and some were placed in a mess. Two packages of urinary catheters were opened, but not used. This can only be reported as property damage. If anyone is found to have no sense of public morality and waste the department's consumables, their salary will be deducted by 50 yuan each time, and the items will be compensated at the price. Repeat offenders will be criticized within the department."
Every department has problems of one kind or another.
This requires adequate management by senior doctors.
Although Dr. Xu is only an attending physician, his ability is there. He was once one of the top chief physicians in the Department of Surgery. Now that he has fallen on hard times, he is still the boss of the operating room in the emergency department.
The entire emergency operating room is under his charge.
Even if Director Lou comes, we have to respect his opinion.
For example, if a nurse has a problem, Director Lou has to discuss it with Head Nurse Niu Lan before he can deal with it.
Nurses are under the management of the Nursing Department and also the department.
It sounds a bit complicated, but it actually has something to do with hierarchical management.
The chief nurse is the vice president in charge of nursing.
It doesn't have to be a woman, sometimes it can be a man.
Under the deputy dean of nursing is the director of the nursing department, who is the person with real power. The deputy dean seldom manages specific affairs, but the director manages a wide range of matters and is also quite detailed.
Under the director is the head nurse of the department.
The head nurse of this department is not of low status, and is considered the boss of all the nurses in the department. Niu Lan is the head nurse of the emergency department, so even Director Lou has to respect her.
There are several ordinary head nurses under Niu Lan.
Some larger departments may have two head nurses, which is very flexible, depending on the arrangements made by the hospital leaders and the operational needs of the department.
Then the Nursing Management Committee established by nurses can also manage the nurses.
In most cases, the heads of the committees have strong backgrounds.
In fact, it is no secret that many young and beautiful head nurses have unclear relationships with hospital leaders. Some even give birth to illegitimate children for the dean.
It is understandable that these people have the dean behind them and are extremely powerful in the hospital .
From the above power structure, we can see that the hospital is a pure kingdom with strict hierarchy. Each level controls the next level, and under normal circumstances, the director is the most powerful person in the hospital.
However, when the dean arrived at the Health and Family Planning Bureau, or even went to the city for meetings, he had to act like a grandson.
After all, power is a good thing.
The emergency operating room of Tuya Hospital does not have many staff and the management is relatively simple.
Currently, there is only one operating room, but in reality it is divided into three operating rooms, with three operating tables performing surgeries at the same time. There are definitely a lot more people than before.
With so many people around, it's inevitable that some people will become unconscious.
Dr. Xu doesn't usually get angry easily, but when he does, he can be quite scary.
The catheters are all placed in sealed bags and kept sterile.
Someone actually opened the bag and didn't throw it away, and there were more than one bag. This behavior is quite bad because the damage fee will be directly deducted from the department.
The department will deduct points from the performance of the emergency department's operating room.
It was equivalent to taking the hard-earned money of everyone in the emergency department's operating room and squandering it. No wonder Dr. Xu had a gloomy face.
Two catheters don't cost much, but this behavior is disgusting.
Before leaving, Dr. Xu looked at Ma Xiaolan meaningfully.
Because Ma Xiaolan had just come to the emergency department the day before yesterday and her performance was not good, the common consumables and instruments in the operating room were placed in a mess. Qiao Yu even quarreled with her about this.
Given this criminal record, it is understandable that Dr. Xu suspected that she did it.
It’s like if someone has stolen something before, and when people lose something, the first person they suspect is this person.
"Doctor Zhou, please believe me, this has nothing to do with me."
Ma Xiaolan didn't dare to argue with Dr. Xu.
I can only find Zhou Can to tell the situation.
"It's okay, as long as you haven't done it, you don't have to take it to heart. Although Doctor Xu is strict, he will never wrongly accuse others." Zhou Can knew his teacher's character well.
Comforting Ma Xiaolan in a gentle voice.
"Qiao Yu, Xiao Lan, you have to work overtime. I will order a meal for the two of you. You can eat after you are done."
The cost of ordering meals is usually paid out of pocket.
Zhou Can tried his best to take care of his subordinates in small things to make them feel warm.
It is also more conducive to the unity of the surgical team.
"Boss, you can't be partial, order one for me too!"
Luo Shishen said sourly beside him.
"Go away, you're not working overtime!"
Zhou Can accepted the title of boss.
He refused to be the master. He was the leader of the surgery team.
Despite being scolded, Luo Shishen showed a happy smile.
Zhou Can was too lazy to expose his little tricks. But it was a good change that this young man was no longer as reserved and self-respecting as before.
It is also an inevitable experience for every rookie in the workplace.
Being thin-skinned, unable to open their mouths, afraid of being rejected, feeling extremely disappointed after being rejected, and being overly cautious when dealing with colleagues are all common problems for most newcomers in the workplace.
After being tempered, society, the best university, can teach them how to adapt.
Eventually, they will mature little by little.
Many students think that society is evil, but in fact it is just that adults are fighting for their own interests in order to survive and get what they need. The reason why they think that society is dark and evil is that there is a small number of people who do not follow the rules and do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
Zhou Can ordered meals for his two nurses, went to the office to check the surgical records and medical instructions, and corrected any problems he found before leaving get off work.
As for writing medical records and medical history, now that Luo Shishen is here, these are things he, an intern, should do.
Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps.
Zhou Can also learned to delegate some work to his subordinates.
