Chapter 158 104: Making Another Move. The Most Helpless Thing in the World is called Accommodation
"Mr. Zhong, isn't that an exaggeration? It was merely a skin suture."
Vice Director Ye looked towards Zhong Hui.
"Dr. Xu, do you think Zhou Can was just suturing skin?"
Zhong Hui showed Dr. Xu the captured images.
"Oh— you mean this? At that time, I was beside Xiao Zhou teaching him how to perform an appendectomy. What's the problem with that?" Dr. Xu's face remained calm, completely dismissing the concern.
He is definitely a seasoned veteran.
Seems like he's never been afraid of anyone.
Whether it's facing Director Xie or Mr. Zhong, Dr. Xu always maintained this defiant, fearless attitude.
It's only when a patient is in danger that he shows signs of anxiety.
"A trainee taking on high-risk steps in a Level 2 surgery, and you ask if there's a problem? What kind of attending physician are you? Haven't you learned about the surgical grading and access system? Haven't you memorized the surgical safety regulations?"
Zhong Hui indeed had the knack for leadership.
The skill of imposing blame was unmatched.
"Mr. Zhong, you were a surgeon before, right? If senior doctors didn't allow you to participate, only to stand and watch, you probably wouldn't be able to perform a Level 1 surgery until retirement."
Dr. Xu retorted sharply.
Turning Zhong Hui green with anger.
He was actually mediocre in medical practice, which led him to administrative departments.
Dr. Xu just casually made an example.
But it struck a nerve in Mr. Zhong.
"Newcomers definitely need proper training. Dr. Xu boldly training newcomers is commendable. However, safety must be considered during their training. High-risk procedures must follow protocols; haste makes waste."
Vice Director Ye provided guidance.
Although tactfully said, it basically told Dr. Xu that Zhou Can is not yet ready to take on the high-risk parts of Level 2 surgeries.
"I won't let him perform the medium and high-risk parts of a Level 2 surgery next time."
Dr. Xu could only express his stance publicly.
This issue was already edging on violation, and since Mr. Zhong had brought it up, and Vice Director Ye had given his advice, Dr. Xu couldn't afford not to respond.
"Right, that's much better!"
Vice Director Ye nodded with satisfaction.
At this point, the meeting could essentially be concluded.
But Mr. Zhong, having not yet achieved his goal, was not about to give up.
"Dean Ye, there's one more issue to report. We've recently found a significant drop in the surgical satisfaction in the Emergency Department. After in-depth investigations, we initially suspect it's related to the fact that two trainee doctors have performed numerous Level 1 surgeries. With their limited capabilities and experience, you can imagine the quality of surgeries they completed."
He had done his homework in an effort to reclaim surgeries for the department.
For a top-tier hospital like Tu Ya, medical quality is synonymous with its lifeline, so it's tightly controlled.
Surgery satisfaction levels are barely managed in many small hospitals.
They can't handle it.
Complicating matters, if surgeons have their pay docked or are over-demanded, they might simply switch jobs.
After all, training skilled surgeons is difficult and time-consuming.
This causes a significant shortage of surgeons in smaller hospitals.
They must be treated with utmost respect.
Even many ophthalmologists and orthopedists in small hospitals have annual pre-tax incomes over 300,000 yuan.
That's a high income.
Many department heads in county hospitals earn about 20,000 yuan as official income.
Exceptional specialists in certain departments are excluded.
Small hospitals have only one requirement for surgeons: avoid accidents. Big hospitals, however, demand post-surgery recovery to meet high standards. For example, suturing a patient's face demands good healing with no unsightly scars left behind. Or when removing an appendix, it must solve the problem thoroughly without introducing other complications.
"Do you have relevant statistics?"
Dean Ye, upon hearing this, frowned slightly, his expression turning serious.
Tu Ya's growth and strength rely on its reputation and illustrious doctors.
A severe decline in surgery quality is a grave issue.
"Yes!"
Mr. Zhong signaled his female assistant slightly.
She immediately brought out several statistical reports already printed, respectfully handing them to Dean Ye.
"These are the surgical volumes and follow-up surveys of the Emergency Department from the last three months. Please have a look."
Dean Ye took them and carefully compared the data from the past three months.
"The volume of surgeries has indeed increased quite a bit, but the satisfaction has indeed dropped considerably!"
After reviewing, Dean Ye handed the reports to Director Lou.
"I've seen Xiao Zhou and Jin Mingxi's surgical capabilities, they shouldn't be this way!" Dr. Xu frowned deeply, puzzled.
Jin Mingxi had his independent surgery privileges suspended recently, but his surgical skills are quite good.
The quality of his work is high.
Not to mention Zhou Can, Dr. Xu even felt that the quality of Zhou Can's surgeries could rank in the top three in the Emergency Department surgery room.
"Dean Ye, I suggest revoking the surgical privileges of trainee doctors Zhou Can and Jin Mingxi in the Emergency Department. The Emergency Department should not encroach on surgeries that should be performed by specialized clinics. Each to their own specialty, the Emergency Department is only suited for emergency surgeries."
Zhong Hui had made so much preparation, even involving Dean Ye, to stop the Emergency Department from snatching surgeries intended for specialized clinics.
