Chapter 1157: Chapter 457: Everyone Pushes a Fallen Wall, A New Look for the Hospital

Dean Zhu directly shifted all the blame to the Security Department, which clearly won’t work.

As the dean, he is the principal person responsible.

With the hospital in such chaos now, he cannot escape blame.

Many people think a dean is just a hospital leader, merely having a higher status than the doctors below. If that’s how you view it, then you’re mistaken.

Even just a county-level hospital’s dean is at least a deputy division cadre.

As for provincial top hospitals like Tuya Hospital, Dean Zhu has a notably high status.

"Director Chen, I indeed bear responsibility for this matter. Now that doctors and nurses are collectively striking, do you think we should first try to quell their anger and restore the hospital’s normal working order before discussing further?"

Facing Director Chen’s questioning, Dean Zhu was neither as humble nor as fearful as might have been imagined.

The tone was entirely conversational.

If this incident hadn’t happened, his promotion to a related administrative department likely would have placed him at a higher level than Director Chen. Even in lateral transfers, his rank would surpass Director Chen’s.

"To all doctors and nurses of Tuya Hospital, I am... Please trust me, today I will certainly provide you with a satisfactory answer. Now please select several representatives to go to the Emergency Department conference room and convey the main issues to me."

Putting his status forward, Director Chen made this promise publicly, leading to discussions and the selection of one or two representatives from each group to convene in the conference room.

At this point, more doctors and nurses arrived.

It was Pediatric’s Director Tang Fei, arriving with her personnel.

Tuya General Hospital’s major clinical departments basically include those few larger departments.

Internal Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Emergency Department, Intensive Care Medicine Department... and then some auxiliary departments, like Radiology, Pathology, Ultrasound, etc.

In terms of influence, the clinical medical departments have the most weight.

After all, these departments are the true core competency of the hospital. Any hospital’s ability to attract patients lies solely with the doctors in charge of clinical diagnostics and treatment.

Prescribing tests, prescriptions, surgeries, all rely on these first-line clinical doctors.

Now, even the Pediatrics’ medical staff have joined the protest, and Zhou Can’s influence is so immense that it has shocked several hospital leaders.

And it doesn’t stop there; following Pediatrics, medical staff from the Intensive Care Medicine Department and Anesthesiology also arrived.

Dean Zhu felt dizzy and nearly passed out.

Vice Director Ye, who knows Zhou Can the best among the vice directors, is well aware of Zhou Can’s close ties with multiple department doctors and nurses. At this point, Zhou Can has already entrenched himself firmly, deeply integrated with Tuya Hospital.

Now anyone trying to deal with Zhou Can, even though he lacks any background or connections, finds that his strength and influence are on par with those well-connected individuals.

More fear came from Vice Dean Ye and Vice Director Pang.

They couldn’t understand why a small protest from the Emergency Department had rallied such broad support from clinical departments’ medical staff.

At this moment, with so many departments’ medical staff involved in the strike and protest, it’s impossible for the hospital management to hold them responsible.

The principle of "the law does not punish the multitude" basically applies here.

If they indeed punish all medical staff who participated in the strike and protest, it’s likely Tuya Hospital would have to change dramatically or even halt operations.

The hospital’s top leadership wouldn’t allow this to happen, nor would the higher administrative branches.

So in the end, there’s only one way: not only to avoid holding everyone accountable but to also show utmost sincerity in solving everyone’s issues.

Director Mi remained arrogant, glaring at Zhou Can with extreme hostility, an expression of vicious intent to crush him.

He’d been accustomed to running rampant within Tuya Hospital and probably never suffered such losses before.

It goes to show that sabotage through praise is indeed a frightening way to harm someone.

He’s about to face serious consequences, yet blinded by hatred, he’s driven only by the desire for revenge, plotting to cripple Zhou Can.

If not for his accustomed arrogance, he might have gained some awareness.

Perhaps he would have already started seeking ways to save himself, rather than just focusing on immediate gains and losses.

...

Inside the conference room, Director Yang and Dean Zhu sat side by side, with other hospital leaders nearby.

Across the table were the representatives chosen by each department.

The Emergency Department had three participants in the meeting: Zhou Can, Nurse Leader Niu Lan, Deputy Director Han.

The chief of the Emergency Department, Director Lou, had always remained absent.

He’s indeed capable of remaining calm.

If he stepped forward, Dean Zhu could directly apply pressure. In that situation, Director Lou would be caught in a dilemma.

So by remaining hidden now, it actually benefits Zhou Can and the others.

There’s a saying: capture the leader first to defeat the gang.

Without a leader in the Emergency Department, Dean Zhu can’t capture anyone and Zhou Can can continue being ’willful’. Even if the situation escalates to alert higher-level authorities, the outcome remains manageable.

"Young man, when I arrived just now, those security guards were attacking you, why was that?"

Director Yang’s gaze locked directly on Zhou Can’s face.

"Because Director Mi wanted to disperse us forcefully without addressing the issue, I disagreed, resisted him, then he came over wanting to hit me..."

Zhou Can spoke with careful technique, trying to make his words as beneficial to himself as possible.

He indeed counted as a victim.

If Zhou Can hadn’t known self-defense today, Director Mi might have beaten his face swollen with violence long ago.

After listening to Zhou Can’s account, Director Yang seriously noted the key points in his notebook.

"Young man, what is your name?"
