My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1058: Chapter 417: Terrifying Medical Trouble, Visiting (Part 2)

Ma Xiaolan talked about the incident with some anger.

A sense of mourning for a fellow creature’s misfortune.

The nurse’s ordeal today could very well happen to her next time.

The Emergency Department has a notoriously low status.

The attitude of the people from the Security Department towards the medical staff in the Emergency Department has been poor, not for the first time.

"What are you discussing? Hurry up and get to work!"

Dr. Xu entered, face stern.

He wasn’t injured.

At least there were no obvious signs of injury.

"I’ll go bring in the surgical patients!"

Ma Xiaolan, knowing the situation outside had been handled, dared to go to the surgery room entrance to receive the patients.

"I already instructed Luo Shishen when I came in, he should bring in the new patients soon once he’s changed into his surgical clothes."

Changing back into surgical attire in the changing room requires waiting.

Luo Shishen’s status is the lowest, naturally, he’s last in line.

"Xiao Zhou, next time someone causes trouble, even if you can fight, try to restrain yourself. Family members who dare to make a scene are either desperate or have some background connections; we just need to protect our own. If you end up injuring someone, you’ll easily get pulled into the situation."

Dr. Xu said seriously to Zhou Can.

Ma Xiaolan was a bit taken aback, did Dr. Zhou actually injure those troublemakers?

On the outside, Zhou Can seems gentle and refined; he’s not particularly strong, at least not muscular. She had no idea Zhou Can was so formidable.

"Understood! I got angry seeing that guy trying to hit you with a chair!"

To Zhou Can, Dr. Xu is one of the people he respects the most.

If someone dares to attack Dr. Xu, he certainly won’t stand by.

He charged directly and kicked the stout middle-aged man several meters away.

"Get to work!"

Dr. Xu didn’t say anything more.

After a moment, Luo Shishen brought in new patients to the surgical room.

Everyone began to get busy.

Ma Xiaolan and Qiao Yu noticed an interesting phenomenon: Luo Shishen looked at Zhou Can with an expression of admiration like he was looking at a revered war god.

The two guessed that Zhou Can, facing those fierce medical troublemakers, was likely more impetuous than the perpetrators.

...

A little after six in the afternoon, Zhou Can’s group was done for the day.

Because there were no more surgical patients to handle outside.

Several doctors and nurses in the Emergency Department were injured, understaffing prompted a temporary report to the higher-ups, and several people from other departments were transferred over to cover shifts.

Two of the Emergency Department’s reception windows weren’t staffed by emergency doctors, so naturally, fewer patients were sent to the surgical room.

After work, coming out from the surgical room, Zhou Can saw Ye Tingting carrying prepared saline solution from the treatment room, likely ready to administer it to patients in the infusion area.

"Sister Ting, you seem so brisk today!"

Zhou Can greeted her proactively.

"How can I not be? With three nurses injured, our workload at the nurse station has greatly increased."

Ye Tingting appeared helpless.

And somewhat indignantly.

"It’s indeed hateful to beat people; those troublemakers should be criminally prosecuted and jailed." Zhou Can said this, but he knew that those people might soon be released.

It’s even possible they’d be released the same day after questioning.

These days, the cost of staging medical trouble is very low.

Invisibly, this fuels the trend of medical disturbances. The most frightening is the black industry of medical trouble. There are specialized ’medical disturbance experts’ directing behind the scenes.

The goal is to cause enough havoc that the hospital compensates.

Once the money is received, most of it ends up in the pockets of these ’medical disturbance experts’.

These experts don’t work alone; they operate as a complete team. There are even dedicated legal personnel involved, specifically to circumvent legal risks.

They are practically a cancer to the healthcare industry.

Moreover, there’s a current trend among hospital leadership and higher authorities that says the more trouble one causes, the more reason they have.

When encountering medical disturbances, the primary approach is often mediation, compensation, apology, and reconciliation.

The troublemakers seek economic compensation.

The higher-ups seek stability and peace; troublemakers seek money, and both parties achieve their goals. The only ones unlucky are the clinical departments, doctors, and nurses.

Sometimes nurses are not at fault, and everyone knows the family members or patients are being unreasonable.

Yet, once the hospital receives a complaint, they still require the nurse to apologize, docking the wages of the involved doctors and nurses.

Receiving a complaint costs 50 yuan in fine; a doctor might earn 50 yuan for an extra night shift as per the higher authority’s regulations. Yet if they receive 30 yuan, the hospital is considered considerate.

A complaint fine of 50 yuan is equivalent to deducting two night shifts’ overtime pay from the doctors and nurses.

Who wouldn’t feel distressed about this?

After feeling distressed, what’s left is disheartenment, followed by resignation.

"I won’t keep chatting with you, I have to quickly give patients their infusion. This afternoon, my legs are exhausted to the point of cramping; I hate those trouble-making medical personnel!"

Ye Tingting complained.

"Hey, wait. Wasn’t Deputy Director Han severely injured? Where is he receiving treatment?"

Zhou Can planned to go visit.

His relationship with Han Changqing is fairly good, and now that he’s seriously injured, Zhou Can visiting might enhance their bond.

Last time, when Zhou Can’s uncle was hospitalized, Deputy Director Han gave his attention.

These favors, in reality, need to be reciprocated.

Personal favors involve reciprocation and gratitude for enduring relationships.

"Director Han seems to be receiving treatment in orthopedics. His arm was fractured from the beating, it’s quite tragic." After speaking, Ye Tingting moved closer to Zhou Can, lowering her voice, "I heard Director Lou specifically went to the hospital leadership about this."

"Alright! You go ahead!"

Zhou Can nodded.

Director Lou complaining to hospital leadership about these incidents was expected.

The Emergency Department’s performance rose rapidly last month and continued to maintain a high level this month, which gave Director Lou leverage in speaking.

As the saying goes, the crying baby gets the milk.

Taking advantage of the situation, Director Lou certainly would seek some benefits from the hospital leadership.

If he could manage to secure a laminar flow surgical room, it would be fantastic.

As for filing a complaint about the Security Department’s inaction, it would likely end without any developments.

The Security Department has a host of connections; no hospital leader would easily move against the Security Department. Unless there was a severe dereliction of duty, Dean Zhu wouldn’t get angry to possibly initiate reforms.

Under normal circumstances, minor issues simply can’t shake the steadfast position of the Security Department.

After finding out Deputy Director Han’s whereabouts, Zhou Can first completed his own work. After checking the Emergency Department’s inpatient wards, he bought some fruit outside and went straight to orthopedics.

Tu Ya’s surgical department was almost entirely familiar to him.

He spent a total of three months in orthopedics.

Two months in the inpatient department.

Having been away for quite some time, it’s hard to say if they’ll still recognize him.

"Hey, busy are you?"

Zhou Can smiled and greeted the nurse behind the nurse station.

The nurse, focused on writing a nursing record, looked up at Zhou Can with a hint of puzzlement, seeming to think this handsome face looked somewhat familiar. After a few seconds, her eyes instantly brightened, and a delightful smile rapidly spread across her face.

"Dr. Zhou, we haven’t seen you for a really long time! Have you finished your residency training?"

"Haha, you still remember me! I finished my residency training long ago; I’m back working in the Emergency Department now! I wanted to ask you about a patient, Han Changqing, arm fracture, is he hospitalized here?"

Zhou Can thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being remembered even after more than two years.

"You’re asking the right person! This patient is admitted in bed number 57 in the ward. Look, it’s over there."

"Great, thank you!"

Zhou Can found that over the two-plus years, orthopedics hadn’t changed much, almost still the same as before.

Arriving at the ward, he didn’t walk far before seeing Deputy Director Han seated at bed 57.

Only a frail elderly woman was there to care for him.

She should be Deputy Director Han’s wife.

Zhou Can walked over.

"Director Han, how’s your injury?"

Zhou Can greeted him.

"Oh, Dr. Zhou, how did you come here? I’m not in bad shape, just my right arm is fractured."

Deputy Director Han was certainly having a streak of bad luck today.

He happened to be on duty at the time; hearing the commotion, as the department leader, he hurried out to intervene. The crazed family members directly assaulted him.
