When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: We became assistants to Chen Cang???

Translator: 549690339

On Monday afternoon, news spread rapidly throughout the hospital!

“Did you know? The thoracic surgery department was canceled today, and Shi Qi was transferred to the breast surgery department as the deputy director,” Qin Yue said, walking up to Chen Cang with excitement as if she had just heard major news.

Chen Cang, who was in the middle of writing medical records, was also slightly taken aback!

So soon?

It was just one day, and thoracic surgery had been canceled just like that.

At this time, Wang Qian, one of the three main staff members on duty in the emergency department that afternoon, also joined in: “Serves him right! That Shi Qi, doesn’t know crap. Let me tell you, when I’m out dining with my classmates, I feel embarrassed to even mention that our hospital has a thoracic department.”

“Last time, there was a patient with an empyema, and I ordered a consultation. Shi Qi, full of arrogance, simply refused to come. Only after I issued an emergency consultation did he leisurely show up, and what did he say when he arrived? He said this patient wasn’t from their department and told me to request a consultation with a pulmonologist. I really don’t know how that guy became the head of thoracic surgery.”

Chen Cang also nodded; indeed, Shi Qi was really just a straw bag, widely known throughout the hospital.

However, returning to his specialty was a good thing, after all. Thoracic surgery was a critical and severe illness department. For someone from breast surgery to manage thoracic surgery was simply ridiculous, wasn’t it?

The surgical development at the provincial second hospital had always been lackluster, with many departments being only for show, established for the sake of maintaining the hospital’s tertiary status.

After all, to retain the qualifications of a tertiary hospital, you must have a large number of departments, each with its detailed divisions. To be honest, over the years, the provincial second hospital had indeed spent much unnecessary money and taken many detours.

The development of surgery was still somewhat lagging. Not to mention on a national level, even within Dongyang province, it couldn’t be considered anything remarkable.

But these were not issues for these small fry to be concerned about.

At this moment, Wang Yong hurried into the room and said anxiously, seeing the three of them there, “There’s going to be big news today!”

The three of them looked up in unison: “What do you mean?”

Wang Yong said mysteriously, “The director was just about to start surgery when the dean called for a meeting. Apparently, all the leaders from above have arrived, and it seems to be related to our emergency department!”

Inside the hospital conference room, Shi Qi sat there, today’s “main character.”

This might be the last time he would be attending a meeting here. The title of Director Shi might soon change to Deputy Director Shi.

The main topic of today’s meeting was the ownership of the original thoracic surgery operating rooms, as well as who would take possession of the vacant Operating Room No. 8.

Everyone wanted it!

An operating room was just like hospital beds to the departments, a strategic resource.

Having more beds meant that the performance of the department would significantly improve, and for any surgical department, having another operating room was a development opportunity. They would no longer have to rely on others to schedule surgeries and could even perform many new surgeries.

Zhang Youfu spoke with a grim face, “I think the operating room should be given to a department that needs it more. Our general surgery department is now preparing to set up a hepato-biliary group. This operating room, if given to us, could better develop our hospital’s surgery and make an important contribution to improving the level and influence of the provincial second hospital’s surgery.”

“As for emergency medicine, it’s a pre-hospital coordination department. All of our departments can coordinate and treat patients. It’s completely unnecessary to give an operating room to the emergency department. Since emergency surgery can’t be carried out independently by the ER anyway, giving them an operating room is just… a waste, right?”

After Zhang Youfu finished speaking, nobody made a sound!

Li Baoshan didn’t bother to say much or defend himself, knowing that arguing was pointless.

Because the decision was made by the leadership, and already documented in an official red-heading document. This meeting was to announce the result, not for discussion, so any argument he put up would be meaningless.

Contrastingly, Tan Liguo calmly said, “I think this is a good attempt. As an important department, we should indeed offer more help to the emergency department. All of our departments should coordinate and support the emergency department to do well in this work.”

Zhang Youfu was momentarily taken aback, his eyes lifting to stare at Tan Liguo, and upon seeing the other’s expression, he fell silent too.

Honestly, the changes this time had been swift and forceful, with all the news coming down within a day. Not to mention Zhang Youfu, even Tan Liguo was unprepared.

Zhang Youfu glanced at Tan Liguo thoughtfully, naturally understanding what he meant—coordinate and ensure the emergency work is done well.

This ‘coordination’ was bound to have many stories.

The next morning, during the emergency department’s handover, Li Baoshan held the hospital’s red-tape document and said to everyone.

“We’re going to have a meeting today, everybody please take a seat.”

During the handover, the emergency department was accustomed to everyone standing—firstly, because there were not enough seats, and secondly, to stay alert.

Li Baoshan said, “Starting today, our emergency department will have its own operating rooms. Operating rooms eight and nine will belong to us, so we can independently schedule surgeries. Head nurse, you need to pay attention to the scheduling and coordination of surgeries, work with the operating room nurses, and do a good job with this…”

Having two additional operating rooms meant that the division of labor within the department would have to be completely reorganized.

Everyone was wondering if their jobs would change significantly?

Wouldn’t it be great if… 1 could have an operating room of my own?

Li Baoshan continued, “Going forward, there will be some shifts in our work too, let me explain.”

“Director An will now be in charge of emergency hand surgery and operate room eight. We’ll get hand surgery up and running as soon as possible. Wang Qian will take over Director An’s previous responsibilities, begin managing patients independently. Chen Bingsheng, you will be responsible for our operating room nine, dealing with the common surgeries in emergency, and Chen Cang, you will take over Chen Bingsheng’s previous work, to manage patients independently.”

As this arrangement was announced, everyone below began to feel envious.

There were still several temp and contract workers in the emergency surgery department, and they were also used to assisting with various tasks.

Who could have expected that Chen Cang would now be managing patients in the hospital independently? One couldn’t help but feel envious and reflective.

“Shi Na, your job remains the same, but from now on you will be responsible for the secondary support of all hospitalized patients in the emergency surgery, assisting team leaders Chen Cang and Wang Qian. Wang Qian, Chen Cang, if you have any questions in the future, consult Shi Na.”

The moment Shi Na heard this, her eyes lit up!

Without a doubt, Shi Na has essentially been promoted, having nearly become an ‘acting director’ through this indirect elevation.

The department’s performance and bonuses are distributed based on a coefficient, the more patients you have under you, the higher your income. And now, she is directly responsible for three groups of people—how could she not be excited?

Meanwhile, Qin Yue was dumbfounded!

What about me?

What about me?

Wang Qian has turned around to become the host, and even Chen Cang is now managing patients independently. What about myself?

Am I still just doing odd jobs?

Wang Yong too was staring with wide eyes; so many people have been mentioned, but what about him?

Li Baoshan continued, “Chen Cang, you focus more on surgeries, and leave the ward affairs to Wang Yong. Wang Yong, from now on you’ll assist Chen Cang in managing patients.”

“Qin Yue, as for you, you will no longer take care of the ward, but instead support Director An, Chen Bingsheng, and Chen Cang with surgeries, and also take care of data statistics. Your main job will be to adjust surgery data and work on the department’s research projects.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Yue and Wang Yong looked at each other in dismay! We’ve become Chen Cang’s assistants???
