"Department Director Xu is going to have surgery."
"Old Xu is leaving."
"Xu can't make it."
All kinds of rumors spread in Donghuang Regional Hospital. The associate chief physicians below him were all vigilant. They listened in all directions, and all the rumors reached their ears.
If Xu Jinyi could not make it, the battle for the department director of the General Surgery Department would start at any moment.
The doctors who were suppressed by this domineering department director had long had ideas about him.
It was a little exaggerated to say that the department director had suffered for a long time, but undercurrents had been surging in the dark for a long time.
The positions in the hospital were not like those in government agencies. Almost all the department directors in the hospital were appointed for life. If they did not make any major mistakes, they would not be changed.
Once a director was in place, until the director abdicated, the people under him would be suppressed to death. It was impossible for the associate chief physicians who did not get promoted to have the same degree of freedom as before. After all, they were definitely not as obedient as the newcomers, and no one had the patience to continue to be subservient.
If they did not get promoted, they would split. If they did not split, they would jump ship. The change of power in a hospital department had always been a purge.
"I heard it's liver cancer."
"Liver cancer is definitely not possible."
"Maybe he can come back to work for a few days?"
"It's hard to say. I don't think so. There's only so much time left. Shouldn't he go back and enjoy the rest of his life?"
The doctors discussed with each other, and their attitudes were generally pessimistic.
When it came to treating patients and saving lives, the doctors might have seen too much, and they had always been pessimistic. Although they had seen far more miracles than ordinary people, they had seen more tragedies.
"The department director is already more than fifty years old. His recovery ability is not good. If he has another surgery, he doesn't know how many days he will need to rest, and then go through chemotherapy? Even if he survives, it will be impossible for him to continue working. "
"Maybe he will use targeted drugs."
"Targeted drugs for liver cancer are not enough."
“PD-1
If that's the case, he might be able to hold on for a while longer. "
"In short, he still needs to rest for a while."
In the afternoon, the attending physicians and the resident doctors had more discussions than usual.
After all, they were not only competing for the position of associate chief physician, but also attending physicians and resident doctors who had to choose their teams. Of course, a portion of them had already chosen their team. However, in a situation where there weren't many victors, choosing a side was inevitable.
The only people who could stay out of this were housemen and interns, especially those housemen who came to the houseman training base and did not sign a contract with the hospital. They would forever be high-level laborers, and naturally, they did not need to participate in the competition between departments that fought for power and profits.
"Hey, let's go see Director Xu," someone suggested.
"Of course we have to watch it. Is it appropriate to watch it today?"
The person who made the suggestion put on an act and said, "Department Director Xu is preparing to go to the Anderson Cancer Center."
"Hey, is he going to retire?"
"Who knows?"
The group of doctors discussed among themselves, but they did not come to any conclusion. When it was time to get off work, they went out in twos and threes. Half of them met again at the Second Affiliated Hospital, and some of them secretly smiled at each other.
In the ward of the Second Affiliated Hospital.
Xu Jinyi was lying on the bed with an IV drip, talking to his relatives and friends who had come from afar.
He was in good spirits. In fact, he was even better than when he was in the hospital. However, the people around the bed all had sympathetic smiles on their faces.
"Department director." The doctors from Donghuang Regional Hospital walked in one after another.
"Oh, Xiao Li, Xiao Wang, you're all here." Xu Jinyi nodded slightly and greeted them one by one in an amiable manner.
"Sigh, how did it end up like this?" Xiao Li sighed and pulled Xu Jinyi's hand to sit down.
Xu Jinyi smiled. "Have a seat. Everyone is off work. Remember to leave the people on duty behind."
"The housemen volunteered to carry the load for a day. They want to lend you a hand. "Little Wang is speaking politely, but his mouth is full of nonsense.
Xu Jinyi nodded. "Thank you. Work hard and don't think too much. I'll have surgery and a few rounds of chemotherapy. I'll be back in two months. "
Could he come back? This thought inevitably spun in everyone's mind. The side effects of various surgeries and chemotherapy also kept appearing in front of everyone's eyes.
There was no medical treatment that was truly safe. Although the death rate from penicillin and deafness from gentamicin were small, there were still quite a lot of cases, and doctors had always remembered cases of failure.
"Did you ask Department Director Li Yuan to operate on you?" another doctor asked.
Xu Jinyi was Li Yuan's apprentice, and it was nothing new in Donghuang Regional Hospital. Since he stayed in the Second Medical Affiliated Hospital, it was easy for people to think that the chief surgeon was Li Yuan.
However, Xu Jinyi unexpectedly shook his head. "I asked Doctor Ling to operate on me."
"Which Doctor Ling?" Some doctors had actually guessed it, but they could not believe it.
"Ling Ran," Xu Jinyi answered very directly.
"Why?" This time, the group of doctors could not understand. With Xu Jinyi's status, it might be difficult for him to do other things, but if he wanted to operate on his own life, no doctor in the country would reject him.
Moreover, as a doctor, it was not a bad thing to be asked to operate on him. After all, the other party was not only paying for the freelance surgery, but also his own life.
Based on everyone's understanding, Xu Jinyi would either get the best surgeon in the country to operate on him, or he would get a doctor he trusted to operate on him. Ling Ran … Theoretically, he would not do either.
Xu Jinyi chuckled a few times. He was not interested in explaining to a few weak doctors about being particular. When he was not sick, he was too lazy to reason with young doctors. Besides, he did not have much time left, and a few weak doctors were not worth his time.
"If there's nothing else, you can go back. I've applied for a few days of sick leave. When the time comes, Associate Hospital Director Luo will come over to temporarily take charge of the department. All of you, cooperate with him." Xu Jinyi threw another bomb at them.
It was obvious that he would not relinquish his power.
A few young doctors walked out of the ward with different thoughts in their minds. The complicated changes had already exceeded their ability to predict.
"Ling Ran is operating on him in the operating theater of the Second Medical Affiliated Hospital. Do you want to watch?" A young attending physician who looked old, had less hair, heavy bags under his eyes, gloomy eyes, and slanted lips came to report the situation excitedly.
"Let's go watch."
"Of course we have to watch."
A few doctors from Donghuang Regional Hospital ran to the operating theater without another word.
When they arrived, the young attending physician with slanted lips called another classmate over, and everyone entered the operating theater smoothly.
Nowadays, most of the people in the hospital were interns and housemen. The nurses in charge could not recognize all of them, and most of them would be given scrubs if they had large white coats.
A few of them dressed neatly and tidied themselves up. Then, they looked at the surgery schedule in the corridor and went straight to Operating Theater 3, where Ling Ran was.
There were already two people watching in the operating theater.
The doctors from Donghuang Regional Hospital stood in front of them quietly. They heard the two people who came earlier chatting in low voices.
"Amazing."
"He can even save blood vessels like this."
"This suture is amazing … Old Bai, if something unexpected happens to me, you have to help me ask this person to come over."
"Sure. When is it?"
