When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Zhang Youfu was generally in a good mood, thinking that after five years when Li Baoshan retired and Chen Cang became one of his major generals, he felt everything was worth it.

As for Chen Cang doing emergency for a lifetime?

This was basically unrealistic.

Which surgeon wouldn’t have any aspirations, what future is there in emergency?

People move to live, trees move to die, what’s the point of staying put? Thinking this, Zhang Youfu hummed a tune as he returned to his department. Oh right, Duan Bo said there should be a few inpatients today.

Just as he got off the elevator, he happened to see Duan Bo. Zhang Youfu smiled a spring-like smile, “Xiao Duan, haven’t left yet? Come to my office.” When Duan Bo saw Zhang Youfu, to be honest, he was full of trepidation and unease.

Still, he braced himself and followed Zhang Youfu into the office, “Director, is the surgery finished?”

Zhang Youfu nodded, “Hmm, sit down. The patients we took in today, who did you assign them to? Give Xiao Zhou a few more, we should give the newbies more chances to train.”

Duan Bo: Train my ass, not a single one, go home and train with pork!

Thinking this, Duan Bo felt his heart sink. Well, might as well tell the truth…

Duan Bo sighed, “Director, I had already arranged it with the patients, but… when I called them at noon, they all refused me, unwilling to undergo surgery in our department.”

When Zhang Youfu heard this, he was momentarily stunned, “Why?”

Duan Bo shook his head, “I don’t know…”

Zhang Youfu was momentarily stunned again, “Alright…it’s fine, this isn’t such a big deal. After all, it has happened before…”

But Duan Bo said, “Yesterday while we were offering free consultations in the lobby, I saw emergency doing the same, promoting laparoscopic surgery just like us, and when I was leaving work yesterday, I saw those patients heading towards emergency. 1 bet nine out of ten they went there for surgery!” At these words, Zhang Youfu was momentarily stunned again, the more you talk the angrier I get!

The patients running off is their own business, but the way you say it, what does it make it seem like? Emergency has stolen our patients!

Isn’t that infuriating?

You’re a free consultation doctor, you couldn’t keep the patients, letting emergency’s free consultation doctor snatch them away, aren’t you incredibly foolish?

Surgical diseases you let emergency snatch away, where’s your pride??? Thinking this, he looked at Duan Bo with a face full of disappointment: “Dr. Duan, you’ve been a doctor for more than a decade, a senior attending physician soon to be Deputy Director. Can’t we even recruit patients better than emergency?”

“I really am…sigh! I don’t know what to say to you! You’ve disappointed me too much.”

The more Zhang Youfu thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. This dog-headed military advisor, wasn’t everything fine at the beginning? How could things get messy these past few days?

“Moreover, that kind of surgery is our specialty. Even an outsider would choose general surgery, right? Even without your free consultation, I think they would come to our department for surgery, right? Could emergency be slandering our surgery? You might as well not offer free consultations at all!” Thinking this, Zhang Youfu was so angry he couldn’t take it.

Indeed, without comparison, there’s no gap…

Lucky for Duan Bo, his detailed and passionate explanations had decisively driven the patients away after the comparison!

Zhang Youfu looked at Duan Bo, the more he saw, the more disappointed he got, the more he regretted ever deciding to promote this guy.

Alas…

How good is Xiao Chen for our department?

I can still cultivate him more.

Thinking this, Zhang Youfu felt a bit of regret, but he’d still have to mention this at tomorrow’s hospital meeting. After all, Li Baoshan couldn’t be stealing our patients!

This isn’t an emergency patient…

The hospital meeting was held as scheduled the next day.

After the hospital leaders announced some attention items and work guidance.

It was time for “Speak up if there’s a matter, disperse if there’s none.” But just at that moment, both Zhang Youfu and Li Baoshan stood up simultaneously.

The scene became momentarily awkward!

Li Baoshan laughed awkwardly, “Director Zhang, you go first!”

Zhang Youfu nodded gravely, “I have a matter I wish to ask the leaders to judge.”

Everyone listening couldn’t help but laugh.

During this period, there had been minor friction between the surgery and emergency departments each week, which became a hot topic of conversation during leisure time. Seeing Zhang Youfu had some new gossip today, everyone perked up their ears.

Tan Liguo frowned slightly but remained silent.

Qin Xiaoyuan smiled inwardly but kept a straight face, “What happened?” Zhang Youfu said, “Yesterday, our department held a free clinic in the outpatient hall and admitted a few inpatients. They had already agreed to be hospitalized, but the emergency department took them to their ward for surgery instead.”

I think Director Li should give us an explanation for this matter. After all, this kind of patient snatching is really despicable!”

As soon as everyone heard this, it was about snatching patients again?

Upon hearing this, Li Baoshan stood up proactively, without any avoidance, and apologized directly, “This incident is the responsibility of our emergency department. I apologize to Director Zhang.”

At those words!

Everyone was stunned.

What’s going on?

Li Baoshan, known for his sternness, was actually apologizing?

Even Zhang Youfu was caught off guard. Apologizing? That’s not usually your style, Li Baoshan!

What do you mean by apologizing?

Does apologizing mean you won’t return my patients?

Thinking this, Zhang Youfu’s rage made his head spin.

Li Baoshan, you sly and cunning thing, accusing me of being scheming, but who is really the mastermind!

You old fox.

Zhang Youfu, with aching kidneys from frustration, said, “Director Li speaks lightly, huh? Is it all settled with just an apology?”

Li Baoshan sighed, “Actually, what I was about to address is related to this very issue.”

Upon saying this, Li Baoshan took out a USB drive and turned to the dean, “May 1 ask for a few minutes of everyone’s time to introduce something quite extraordinary?”

With these words, Li Baoshan’s statement piqued everyone’s curiosity.

What could it be?

Even Zhang Youfu was staring at Li Baoshan, secretly preparing his defenses, worried that the old fox had some trick up his sleeve.

After being outsmarted twice before, Comrade Youfu was understandably jittery.

Li Baoshan approached the large TV in the conference room, inserted the USB drive, and opened a PowerPoint presentation.

He addressed the audience, “Next, I will present a research project concerning an improved technique in laparoscopic surgery!”

At this revelation, everyone perked up immediately!

Zhang Youfu concentrated intently on the PPT cover page.

Li Baoshan continued,

“This project mainly revolves around improvements in laparoscopic surgical techniques. I take some of your valuable time in this setting to talk about it because I believe this project holds significant research value and meaning. Our Second Provincial Hospital has always been a bit behind in scientific research, which is our Achilles’ heel. I even believe that through this project, we could boost the competitiveness of our institution!”

“For a long time, the Provincial People’s Hospital, the First University Hospital, and the City People’s Hospital have all collaborated with universities, and they ’ also undertake postgraduate training and standardized resident training. Meanwhile, we only started recruiting standardized residents this year, with the earliest batch not arriving until October. Their strength in research translates into advancements in clinical skills!”

Our lack of research capabilities is something we need to improve and enhance!”

Feeling that the atmosphere was ready, Li Baoshan declared, “Please look, the title of this project is ‘Chen’s Clinical Investigation and Analysis of Minimally Invasive Wounds in Laparoscopic Surgery.”‘

“Alright, let me show you a few pictures first!”

“This is why our emergency department was able to ‘snatch’ patients from Director Zhang’s department! In fact, it wasn’t really ‘snatching’; the patients themselves preferred to have their surgery in our department, and you’ll see why right here!”

At these words, everyone was baffled.

Patients voluntarily chose to have surgery in the emergency department?

How is that possible!

Zhang Youfu was especially disbelieving!

How can this be?

Are you trying to tell me I don’t have any education, Li Baoshan?

However, when Li Baoshan displayed the photos, everyone was shocked!

Because these could indeed lure patients away.

Zhang Youfu was dumbfounded. How… how can this be?

These photos…

Must have been retouched with Photoshop!
