Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 289 Adding burden?! (Subscribe)
"Teacher Lei, Teacher Li." Zhou Yanqing changed his address after being brought into the 'small office' by the two men.

Professors in teaching hospitals prefer to be called teacher, especially by the more talented students.

"Director Lei, Dr. Zhou's work at the Trauma Center has been going very smoothly. He is vigorous and decisive, and he always gets things done when they are needed."

"Never dragging your feet, this is not just my personal evaluation, but everyone says so." Li Xiangming said cautiously.

Lei Zhong looked at Zhou Yanqing and smiled: "Director Li, now you don't think I am biased for our orthopedics department, do you?"

"In this trauma center, Dr. Zhou in our department plays an important role and really needs help." Lei Zhong stood on the moral high ground.

I assigned more staff to Zhou Yanqing not because of my personal idea nor because I am partial to orthopedics, but because Zhou Yanqing can fill the position that other specialists cannot.

If we orthopedic people are not given priority for promotion, who will be given priority?
Li Xiangming also understood this, but he still said, "Dean Lei, that's right. I think Dr. Zhou is a good candidate for our emergency department."

"With him here, our emergency department's surgical work will be much easier to carry out. Dean Lei, can you consider keeping Dr. Zhou in our emergency department?"

"He's doing a good job, isn't he?"

"Right? Doctor Zhou... our work in the emergency department is very meaningful..." Li Xiangming also wanted to kidnap Zhou Yanqing.

Zhou Yanqing said, "Director Li, what you said is true, but I still think our hand surgery is more interesting."

"Here? It's almost rusted." Zhou Yanqing said bluntly.

How much technical content can be reflected in the operations of the emergency department?

In surgery, one hemostasis procedure is enough to complete the task, and at most one incision can be added to quickly expose the wound.

Other skills, such as limb replantation and functional reconstruction, will be left to gather dust.

Lei Zhong laughed and said, "See, Director Li, I'm not being partial. It's really Dr. Zhou. He has other uses in our orthopedics department."

“Of course, life is above all else, but the quality of life that hand surgery can bring to patients is sometimes even higher than the continuation of life.”

"Yanqing can perform some surgeries that other doctors in our hand surgery department cannot perform!"

Li Xiangming defended himself: "To live a better life, we must first ensure that we are alive. It would be great if we could save more lives..."

This is the difference between the concepts of the emergency department and the specialist department.

Lei Zhong looked at Zhou Yanqing again, and Zhou Yanqing smiled and replied: "Director Li, in fact, many people can replace me now, as long as they can practice hemostasis and incision techniques well."

"Some routine rescues are not difficult."

"And if there is no specialist assistance, for example, if you encounter aortic dissection, heart rupture, etc., even the best emergency rescue will be of no use."

"In our hand surgery department, we have received no less than fifty patients who had limb replantations from the trauma center this month."

What Zhou Yanqing is best at is not really first aid, but his skills in hemostasis and incision are high enough, so he stands out among short people.

Curing diseases and saving lives is the mission of the hospital, and it is something that everyone should do together. We cannot rely on Zhou Yanqing alone.

The realization of personal ambitions still depends on individuals to perform more difficult and more fulfilling operations.

It's just these words, you can think but you can't say them.

"Yanqing, do you really want to have surgery?" Lei Zhong asked.

Zhou Yanqing nodded.

It would be unsurgery for a surgeon not to perform surgery.

Zhou Yanqing felt like he was a large patient transfer station. This month, apart from practicing hemostasis, incision, and film reading, he did nothing else. Of course, he also saved at least a dozen lives.

"Director Li, this is what I think."

"Look, in some trauma surgery cases in our hospital, some patients died even after reaching the operating room because specialists rushed them to the emergency operating room."

"Do you think it's possible for our emergency operating room to have a permanent surgical team like the one at the emergency trauma center?"

"With the attending physician as the core and the chief resident in charge, building a more standardized surgical emergency treatment system, can this reduce the mortality rate of surgical emergency trauma patients?" Lei Zhong asked.

Li Xiangming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded decisively: "Dean Lei, this is certainly good, but who will do it? Who will take the lead?"

"How should surgical tasks be allocated between the different specialties? Will there be disagreements at that time?"

"What you are talking about is very similar to the emergency mechanism in foreign countries, where consultation and surgery coexist!~"

"Although it can greatly improve efficiency, it also has its own problems." Li Xiangming first affirmed, and then denied.

"Director Li, this is a route I'm planning for the development of your emergency department. You should be the one to submit a plan for its implementation."

"If you think it's not possible, then let's put it on hold."

"If you think it's feasible, you can design a plan!"

"As for the person in charge, many people can give it a try." Lei Zhong said, with his hands behind his back.

"If our hospital wants to develop, and develop rapidly and with high quality, we must innovate in the system."

"Perhaps, the current system of separation of emergency departments and specialties is not the best." Lei Zhong said with some hesitation.

Li Xiangming instantly understood that Lei Zhong was a man with ideas and ambitions.

As the dean, he is willing to make some new breakthroughs for the development of the hospital.

Fine-tuning some systems in the emergency department is his first step forward.

Even if I cannot bring Xiangya back to its peak, I can still improve the overall strength of Xiangya Hospital.

"President Lei, you don't think Xiao Zhou can take on this important task, do you?" Li Xiangming swallowed and asked.

What Lei Zhong said was to establish an emergency major surgery department.

In the future, if the trauma center is well managed, it will become a comprehensive trauma center, completely separating the emergency department from the specialty department!
"Why can't it be Xiao Zhou?"

"Director Li, I know Xiao Zhou better than you do, and my understanding of surgery is deeper than yours."

"So, I think Xiao Zhou is a pretty good core candidate." Lei Zhong did not avoid Zhou Yanqing.

When Zhou Yanqing heard this, his brows immediately frowned.

I didn't refuse, I was just thinking about it.

No way? I'm already so busy that I can't do academic research or recruit top talents. Dean Lei, you want to add more burdens to me. What about my money?
As for making money, every job is good.

But there is only so much money that can be earned in a formal medical field, and Zhou Yanqing's family is not well off. With Lei Zhong's arrangement, Zhou Yanqing is almost isolated from the introduction of top talents, right?

"Director Lei, I'll think about it again and come up with a plan for you at the meeting." Li Xiangming was not a man who would keep quiet.

If this development can really continue, he will be able to walk with his neck tilted in front of his colleagues in the emergency department in China.
