Chapter 1436: Chapter 573: Adults Only Have Interests—Don’t Mess with Nurses
Don’t underestimate the position of deputy leader; for Zhou Can, it’s a leap in progress.
Sometimes, what seems like a small step is actually a giant leap in life.
No matter how excellent Zhou Can was before, he was still just a ’foot soldier.’ Now, taking on the role of deputy leader in the emergency operating room is like being promoted to ’officer.’
There is an essential difference in status between officers and foot soldiers.
Officers have jurisdiction and some privileges, while foot soldiers’ duty is to obey orders.
In the operating room, when Jiang Wei and others learned that Zhou Can was appointed as the deputy leader, everyone was greatly encouraged and genuinely happy for Zhou Can.
Zhou Can is their leader, the actual chief surgeon of this surgical team.
Their fate and future are closely tied to Zhou Can.
Now that they see Zhou Can being promoted, they can also enjoy the benefits, so they are genuinely happy at heart.
This combination of shared interests and emotional bonds makes them Zhou Can’s most steadfast comrades.
After getting off work in the evening, Dr. Xu notified all doctors and nurses in the operating room to gather in the conference room for a short meeting.
Everyone came, whether they were on duty or not.
The emergency department operating room has grown and developed significantly; it now has twenty-two surgical doctors, six ward doctors, and thirteen surgical nurses.
This is already quite a substantial surgical team.
The surgical nursing team has only thirteen people, and Zhou Can’s team takes up three spots.
However, no one has any objections.
Because Zhou Can’s team has consistently accounted for about 60% of the emergency department’s total surgeries. In the past two months, Zhou Can has consciously adjusted, performing fewer surgeries, but revenue hasn’t decreased.
Now, most of the surgeries he performs are Level 3 surgeries.
Level 1 and Level 2 surgeries, unless they are particularly complex, he generally assigns to others.
His surgical competence is already at the Director Level; it would be beneath him to compete for tasks with interns, resident doctors in training, fellows, or resident doctors.
"Thank you to everyone for attending the meeting on time. I know your time is precious, so I’ll be brief. We have two main announcements today."
Dr. Xu rarely organizes meetings for the operating room staff.
Previously, there were only a few people, and anything that needed saying could be communicated verbally during work.
Now that there are more people, meetings have become the easiest way to communicate.
Additionally, with more staff, procedures and a sense of ceremony are important.
Verbal communication can sometimes come off as casual.
It’s difficult to reflect the rigor and standards of a large hospital.
Using meetings to convey important directives from higher-ups, announce departmental decisions, and significant appointments presents an aura of invisible authority, making it feel sacred and irrevocable.
"First, our emergency department operating room is thriving, with performance continually rising, thanks to everyone’s joint efforts and hard work. The hospital is currently rapidly advancing reforms on multiple levels. We should all raise our consciousness, continue to learn and improve professional standards. Safety awareness and service awareness also need strengthening. According to the latest directives from the department leadership, we will continue enforcing an elimination system: more work, more pay; less work, less pay. Those whose professional standards consistently fall short will face the risk of being dismissed."
The emergency department, from its humble beginnings, with Zhou Can at the core of work, through everyone’s collective efforts, is now taking shape, finally looking like an emergency department.
"Moreover, the department may enhance personal specialty skills in the future. For example, if someone excels at diagnosis, they will primarily conduct consultations. As long as the qualifications are adequate, even training doctors can participate in consultations. If surgical ability is strong, focus on surgeries and reduce consultations, just like Zhou Can, who only does consultations for half a day each week. Of course, he’s special, and you can’t compare yourselves to him. Doing consultations only half a day a week is a privilege for chief physicians."
This last sentence made everyone laugh.
Zhou Can indeed enjoys special treatment in many respects.
Rules are made by humans, and the hospital’s management is not foolish; when encountering special talents, they certainly loosen restrictions appropriately.
It is indeed the emphasis and development on talent by Tuya Hospital’s management that has led to Zhou Can’s current success.
Actually, he is just one example of many talents in Tuya Hospital.
Many have also received similar development, though perhaps not to the same extent.
For instance, at the beginning, the hospital provided top-notch resources to develop PhD graduate Du Leng.
Initially, the resources allocated for Du Leng far exceeded those given to Zhou Can. But due to Du Leng’s lack of diligence, the hospital gradually marginalized him, while continually increasing resources for Zhou Can, an undergraduate.
Now, Du Leng finds it hard to compete with Zhou Can.
Back then, both entered the hospital at the same time; Du Leng was as dazzling as a star in the sky, and Zhou Can was as humble as dust on the ground.
Zhou Can’s personal experience shows that Tuya Hospital is quite commendable in nurturing and selecting talent.
It’s worth noting that even now, Zhou Can’s education level is still only an undergraduate degree.
Once the hospital’s leadership identified him as promising, they didn’t arbitrarily hinder his upward path. Instead, they intensified support and resources, which is the wisdom of the leadership.
