Chapter 1437: Chapter 573: Adults Only Care About Interests—Don’t Mess With Nurses (2)
"The second issue, after joint discussion and consultation by the department leadership, is the unanimous decision to appoint Zhou Can as the deputy leader of the Emergency Department’s operating room. Zhou Can’s outstanding contributions to the Emergency Department over the years are evident to all. Breaking some limitations, promoting him exceptionally to the deputy leader position is indeed what everyone hopes for. Let’s congratulate him together."
Dr. Xu is genuinely pleased with the promotion of his beloved student.
Warm applause fills the meeting room.
Zhou Can quickly stands up, bows to those around him, expressing his gratitude.
This is a gesture of courtesy and the humble attitude one should have.
"Dr. Zhou’s academic qualifications are relatively low, his title is currently only that of a Resident Doctor, and his experience is not long enough. Isn’t promoting him directly to deputy leader undermining the current talent promotion system? Won’t everyone feel it’s unfair?"
As the applause stops, an irate voice speaks up.
The voice is quite jarring to hear.
Zhou Can turns his head to see it’s the attending physician, Fu Chachun, from the operating room, raising objections at this critical moment.
Laying out three of Zhou Can’s shortcomings in one breath, this is blatant denigration of Zhou Can.
Deliberately guiding public opinion to create controversy around Zhou Can’s promotion.
The oldest in terms of experience in the Emergency Department’s operating room are Dr. Xu and Fu Chachun. When Zhou Can first joined for training in the Emergency Department, Fu Chachun was already an attending physician.
And he’s still an attending physician now.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to be promoted to associate chief physician, but his attempts to advance to this level have repeatedly failed.
For associate chief physician promotion, the academic qualifications may not be strictly controlled, but there are stringent requirements for publications. Don’t be surprised that Du Leng publishes more than ten SCI-level medical papers a year; some of his papers are simultaneously included in the national core medical journals.
That’s because he truly possesses such high theoretical knowledge.
Many doctors who lack theoretical knowledge consider it luck to publish one SCI paper a year. If the impact factor is higher, that’s just pure fortune.
As the saying goes, those who can’t do it find it difficult, those who can find it easy.
If you ask Du Leng to perform some complex surgeries, he might go crazy on the spot. Similarly, asking the likes of Fu Chachun to write papers is just killing them.
Fu Chachun’s multiple attempts to become an associate chief have all ended in failure; seeing his age increase, the only hope he’s left with is to have some title before retiring.
The Emergency Department’s operating room used to be small-scale, so no additional deputy leaders were appointed.
It was directly managed by Dr. Xu alone.
Now the team is expanding, and it is indeed necessary to choose a deputy leader to assist Dr. Xu in better completing various operating room tasks.
There are quite a few eligible candidates for this position.
Dr. Cui, a newly promoted attending two years ago, is a competent contender. There’s also Dr. Tang Wannian, who transferred to the Emergency Department’s operating room less than a year ago; he is a genuinely senior attending physician with a master’s degree. Among the middle-aged doctors over forty, a master’s degree is quite a highlight.
Lastly, there’s Dr. Fu Chachun. He’s the oldest in terms of experience and considers himself the most hopeful for promotion.
Ultimately, Zhou Can grabbed the deputy leader position.
Dr. Cui and Dr. Tang Wannian remain relatively calm. Though inwardly disappointed, they at least accept the higher-up’s decision.
Fu Chachun, however, feels as if his ancestral grave has been dug up by Zhou Can, irate and publicly accusing the hospital of being unfair in talent promotion.
"I find the hospital’s appointment to be quite fair. As Dr. Xu mentioned earlier, more work leads to more rewards, less work leads to fewer rewards. In terms of surgery quantity and quality, Dr. Zhou is undeniably the best. Not selecting him as the deputy leader would indeed be unjust! If doctors work as hard as Dr. Zhou Can and achieve such dazzling accomplishments yet still don’t get promoted, who would be willing to keep working diligently?"
Ma Xiaolan, known as the little pepper, indeed.
Even in a meeting, when someone seeks to sabotage Zhou Can’s good fortune, she’s the first to oppose it.
Without hesitation, she directly countered Fu Chachun.
Her words were sharp, and her tone was extremely severe.
Although she didn’t state it directly, she made it clear to Fu Chachun: the amount of work done determines the reward.
You didn’t put much effort into your work, and now that Zhou Can is promoted, you become envious? Does that make sense?
Zhou Can remained calm and didn’t become too angry due to Fu Chachun’s attack.
He’s long understood the malice of human nature.
This promotion to deputy leader will undoubtedly touch some people’s interests.
The strong never need to consider the feelings of the weak; rather, they should make them learn to accept.
When a company president announces a decision, dare employees oppose it?
If you don’t accept it, leave.
This is the strong person’s mindset.
Even if employees know the company has many tyrannical clauses and many regulations that go against humanity, they still choose to follow them.
"You, a nurse, have no right to speak."
Fu Chachun was already irate about not getting the deputy leader position himself. And now a nurse who has worked for less than two years dares to publicly refute him in this tone, nearly exploding in anger.
People driven by anger tend to make inappropriate remarks.
Suggesting nurses have no right to speak—once these words are spoken, Fu Chachun probably wishes he could slap himself.
This would definitely incite public outrage.
Nurses in hospitals always have a lower status than doctors, a rule everyone sees but doesn’t speak of.
But now he’s openly broken this thin layer of paper, immediately angering the thirteen nurses in the operating room.
Luckily, this isn’t a full hospital-wide meeting or a meeting of the entire department.
Otherwise, it would be uncertain whether Fu Chachun could walk out of the meeting room today.
"What do you mean nurses have no right to speak? Aren’t we nurses human? Dr. Fu’s comments truly chill us nurses’ hearts."
Qiao Yu is also a staunch supporter of Zhou Can.
Seizing the opportunity, she stands up angrily to counter.
"If Dr. Fu doesn’t apologize to our nurses for these words, I’ll be the first to submit a resignation report to the hospital tomorrow. Since the hospital only needs doctors, we nurses have no reason to exist."
Jiang Wei, indeed a PhD graduate from abroad, a formidable nurse with strong capabilities, speaks with immense confidence.
The internal strength of her confidence is enough to overwhelm Fu Chachun.
Unlike ordinary nurses, she’s a top-tier talent in Tuya Hospital’s key talent pool.
Though she’s only a surgical nurse under Zhou Can, it’s because she willingly serves Zhou Can. She wouldn’t bother being a nurse for any other first-class director doctors.
"This is blatant discrimination against us nurses. Apologize, you must apologize publicly!"
Thirteen nurses begin to rise in unison against him.
Never argue with women.
Just look at the result for Fu Chachun now. Being scolded by thirteen women, he doesn’t even have a chance to respond.
Once one finishes, the next one starts; his face is now a deep shade of red.
"Dr. Fu, hurry up and apologize to them! If Director Lou comes later, the consequences could be more severe."
Dr. Xu shook his head, people can easily become blinded by benefits.
Fu Chachun’s face turns a mix of green and red, realizing he misspoke in anger, he can only stand up and reluctantly apologize to the thirteen female nurses.
"I’m sorry, I spoke inappropriately earlier and hurt the dignity of the nurses. I sincerely apologize."
"The attitude isn’t sincere at all; I think Director Niu should come and weigh in on this matter. We nurses work diligently, always contributing silently to the department, yet in Dr. Fu’s eyes, nurses don’t even have the right to speak."
Ma Xiaolan spoke rather unyieldingly.
"You..."
Being driven to such an extent by a junior nurse, Fu Chachun nearly spat blood.
He is clearly at fault now, with no way to counter.
The dignified attending physician usually doesn’t regard regular nurses highly. In his earlier anger, he spoke impulsively and without restraint.
Now being forced to publicly apologize, yet the junior nurse refuses to accept it; how could he not be angry?
"An apology should be sincere, not a perfunctory ’sorry.’ To borrow a classic online saying: If ’sorry’ was useful, what would be the need for police?" Jiang Wei attacks once more.
Her attacks are always weighty and impactful.
