Chapter 978: Chapter 387: Department Director Dispute, Fulfilling Director Hu’s Last Wish (2)

Zhou Can agreed readily.

The candidate for the department director was already arranged by Director Hu Kan before his death. The only regret is that he suddenly passed away, without even having time to hand over responsibilities.

Director Hu knew his health was not good, but he didn’t hand over the position of director of Cardiothoracic Surgery. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but he was concerned that it would affect the entire department’s operations and reputation.

It’s similar to how a change in legal representative for a listed company can significantly impact its stock.

There have been rumors externally about Director Hu Kan’s health issues, even attacking Tuya’s Cardiothoracic Surgery’s declining medical skills. Unfortunately, there was temporarily no strong successor in the Cardiothoracic Surgery department.

In such a complicated situation, everyone from Tuya Hospital’s senior management to Director Hu Kan hoped to stabilize the situation.

Thus, Director Hu had no choice but to hold on and continue serving as the department director.

Secretly, he evaluated the eligible senior doctors and associate senior doctors in the department who could succeed him. He finally chose Director Xue Yan to take over.

Unfortunately, after choosing someone qualified, he didn’t get the chance to transition before unexpectedly passing away, leaving behind controversy.

"I need to go out for a bit, you two help out in Dr. Xu’s operating room first!"

Zhou Can arranged tasks with Qiao Yu and Luo Shishen and then went to the operating room outside.

Dr. Xu was currently stitching up a leg injury on a patient.

"Teacher, there’s an urgent matter in the Cardiothoracic Surgery department. I need to step out for a moment."

"Are you participating in surgery or a meeting?"

Dr. Xu continued to focus on stitching the wound, without even looking up.

"A meeting!"

Zhou Can replied honestly.

He was very aware that after years of laying low to bide his time, Dr. Xu had become a shrewd figure.

The establishment of inpatient wards in the Emergency Department this time was a masterpiece collaborated between him and Director Lou.

"Go ahead! Try to handle only what you should."

Dr. Xu gave him some advice.

As Zhou Can’s teacher, he not only provided him comprehensive guidance in medical skills, but also considered and planned for him on handling crises and interpersonal relations.

"Understood!"

Zhou Can nodded and walked out briskly.

He first changed into his white coat in the changing room, then rushed to the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department.

Tuya Hospital was actually quite large.

From the Emergency Department to the Surgery Building was a relatively short distance.

However, it still required a seven or eight-minute walk.

...

Soon, Zhou Can arrived at the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department.

Upon arrival, he clearly felt that some personnel in the department were scattered. Both nurses and doctors seemed to have had their work attitude affected.

The Cardiothoracic Surgery Department was already in a precarious state, and the poor work status of medical staff only added fuel to the fire.

Zhou Can saw this and felt anxious.

Everything was because a department head had not been selected yet, leaving no one to issue orders, resulting in a lack of cohesion.

He reached the meeting room and heard intense arguing from inside even before entering.

After knocking, he went in.

All the middle and senior-level personnel of the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department were present.

Director Xie from Surgery, Vice Director Ye overseeing medical affairs, and Vice Dean Bai handling administrative affairs were astonishingly all seated there.

The participation of both vice directors indicated the importance of this meeting.

"Dr. Zhou, you’ve come at just the right time. You’re one of the two significant successors of Director Hu Kan. Please give your opinion on the candidate for department director!"

Vice Director Ye’s eyes lit up slightly upon seeing Zhou Can enter.

He directly pushed Zhou Can to the forefront.

These vice directors, each having extraordinary means, often presented a gentle exterior but were fierce at heart.

When dealing with hospital affairs, they often demonstrated different handling strategies. For minor issues, they typically addressed them gently. For major matters, the more serious the issue, the harsher and more ruthless their tactics became.

"Thank you, Vice Director Ye, for giving me the chance to speak!"

Zhou Can’s gaze turned toward the three superiors seated at the most critical positions.

Director Xie appeared to have much more gray hair, making him seem significantly older as well.

Vice Dean Bai, however, retained his usual charisma.

All three major figures were acquainted with Zhou Can, and seeing them did not intimidate him greatly.

To be honest, there were very few bottom-level doctors like him who were so formidable in the entire hospital.

For ordinary residents or resident doctors, knowing the department head was already quite an achievement. They simply couldn’t reach the level of dealing with vice directors.

Hospital leadership is always the top-level existence in any hospital.

They belong to the minority at the pinnacle of the pyramid.

"Just as I was coming in, I heard Director Hee having the biggest debate about selecting the department director. Allow me to take this opportunity to share Director Hu’s views before he passed away."

Zhou Can walked to the front, with a serious expression and eyes scanning the room.

Although his gaze wasn’t sharp, nor did it contain any edge, it held an inherent warmth and respect for those in the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department.

He was familiar with nearly everyone there.

Whenever he met them, they would generally exchange a few warm words, at least a greeting.

"Director Hu’s biggest wish during his lifetime was to guide the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department through this crisis, and then once again head towards a new era of prosperity. Did you know, even on the night before his passing, he urged me to do everything in my power to help Cardiothoracic Surgery fend off impending crises. You’ve watched me grow; almost everyone here is my senior, and you’ve all provided me with, in various capacities, help and guidance during work. I have always held deep feelings for the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department."

Zhou Can first played the emotional card, gaining recognition from most people.
