Chapter 380: Chapter 380: Honey, I Donât Want to Struggle Anymore!
â`
Tao Zi was invited to participate in this surgery, which was also an exchange event organized by Dongda First Hospital, aimed at promoting mutual exchange and fulfilling a role of joint advancement.
For this surgery, both the director and deputy director of the cardiovascular surgery department of Dongda First Hospital attended, and more than a dozen people gathered in the operating room for this surgical exchange.
Of course, such a scene was one Chen Cang would not have the chance to see.
Chen Cang naturally did not qualify to observe the procedure on site. It wasnât just him, even Ge Huai didnât qualify, along with three other junior doctorsâthey all honestly sat in the department, watching the live video feed. While it was quite clear, it lacked the atmosphere of being there in person.
Ge Huai sighed, âAlas, Director Tao Zi is also a big shot in the cardiovascular surgery field in Dongyang Province! Itâs a pity we canât watch his surgery up close.â
A colleague nearby nodded, âThatâs true. When Iâd just started working, I participated in a surgery with Director Tao, and it was very enlightening for me at the time!â
Another colleague sighed, âAh! If only I were a vice-senior, in our hospital, itâs somewhat embarrassing to not have that title.â
This statement made all three sigh in unison!
Chen Cang rolled his eyes in frustration.
âIâm just a resident doctor, okay? Canât you be a little sympathetic to the feelings of a humble resident doctor?â
The cardiovascular surgery department at Dongda First Hospital is a national key department. Itâs very difficult to get in!
Now theyâre only hiring people with a PhD!
As for the national medical systemâs regulations, to become a vice-senior, which is a deputy director level, you only need two years with a PhD to be eligible for the deputy director physician exam. However, all three sitting here have passed the vice-senior exam but the hospital has not employed them at that level!
What does that mean?
It means youâve already passed the national exam for the vice-senior title, but the hospital doesnât have enough positions internally, so they wonât hire you as a senior attending physician; youâre still just an attending physician.
Thatâs what a professional title is.
Beyond that, a hospital has not only professional titles but also administrative positions, like Shi Qi.
When Shi Qi was setting up the thoracic surgery department, he was the chief of thoracic surgery, but he wasnât a chief physician.
The head of a department and a chief physician are two entirely different concepts.
Compared with them, Jing Ran is the real winner in lifeâjust over thirty, a deputy director physician, and deputy chief of thoracic surgery, he has both an administrative position and a professional title.
Chen Cangâ¦
Letâs not talk about it, itâs better left unsaid!
After all, I survive on my good looks; professional titles are useless to me.
Besides, my father-in-law is the Dean. Doesnât that obviously mean Iâm destined to be the future head of the department?
Maybe⦠even the Dean himself!
Thinking this, Chen Cang could not help but feel a little smug.
He longed to post on social media, âWhatâs it like having a powerful father-in-law?â
With the thought, Chen Cang picked up his phone and couldnât resist sending a message to his girlfriend, noted as âRich Lady Qinâ in his contacts:
âWifey, I donât want to struggle anymore!â
Soon, the response came back: âClean yourself up and wait for me in Kempinski 802 tonight.â
Chen Cang was amused by Qin Yueâs reply; this girl was too cheeky!
â¦
â¦
The truth was, it wasnât that Li Baoshan and the others didnât promote Chen Cang, but professional titles are something that just canât be promoted at will. There are hard national standards. If you havenât reached the required years, the state wonât allow you to take the exam, and without the exam, you canât obtain a professional title.
Perhaps some might ask if there are any exceptions?
Letâs put it this way, since the 1990s, not a single person in the whole country has been given an accelerated promotion of their professional title!
Because thereâs no such regulation in the healthcare system.
Of course, while you canât be promoted in title, you can be promoted in position!
Thinking about when he became the deputy head of the emergency department as a resident doctor, about when Chen Bingsheng, the boss, called him âDirector Chen.â
Chen Cang felt elatedâ¦
This feeling was something to be greatly anticipated.
Looks like I need to speed up the charm offensive on my father-in-law.
â¦
Ge Huai couldnât help but glance at Chen Cang curiously and asked, âXiao Chen, why didnât you go apply under Director Tao initially? Director Tao is from your hospital after all. How convenient that would have been!â
Chen Cang sighed. Could he say that Teacher Meng was a hidden profession?
â`
Ge Huai saw Chen Cang sighing and immediately understood what was going on, it must have been that Director Tao didnât think much of little Chen!
With that thought, Ge Huai hurriedly consoled, âHey, little Chen, donât be upset. After all, itâs normal for Director Tao to be discerning, what with the stature of the manâon the same level as our Director Xia, of course the selection would be more challenging!â
A colleague next to them nodded as well, âThatâs right, little Chen, donât be discouraged. Besides, Director Meng is pretty good too, following Director Meng you could learn a lot.â
All three of them were busy comforting Chen Cang.
Actually, everyone thought that Chen Cang was quite goodâdiligent, ambitious, and also talented.
Seeing this, Chen Cang could only silently sigh.
Could he say that Tao Zi actually couldnât wait to snatch him away from Teacher Meng?
And dare he claim that Director Tao would also need to accept his education and nurturing?
Forget it, forget it!
Chen Cang guessed that if he spoke out, they would surely hit him.
Being too outstanding always made it easy to stir up envy!
Itâs better to keep a low profile!
Whatâs that idiom again?
Hide your light and bide your time!
Right! One must hide their light and bide their time.
At that moment, Ge Huai pointed to the screen and said, âAlright, alright, the surgery is about to start!â
â¦
â¦
Tao Zi stood in the operating room, looking around at the many chiefs and deputy chiefs of cardiac surgery, and couldnât help but smile. Today was the day to broaden your horizons!
In the past few days, Tao Zi could be described to have undergone rigorous preparation for todayâs surgery.
Chen Cangâs advice at the time was neatly written down in his notebook.
He mulled over and reflected continuously, thereby constantly improving his own skills.
He was just waiting for today!
Xia Gaofeng looked at Tao Zi, smiling slightly, âDirector Tao, youâve worked hard today!â
Tao Zi smiled back and waved his hand, âLetâs dispense with the formalities and get ready for the surgery. Show me the imaging results.â
At that moment, the medical record was handed over.
After opening it, Tao Zi examined the imaging results, then took out the X-rays and CT scans, looking over the images while pondering the question of how to make the surgical incision.
Tao Zi was a seasoned director with rich experience. After all, with experience, a single insight from Chen Cang was enough for him to deduce others. Naturally, at this moment, he thought of a lot.
A few minutes later, full of confidence, Tao Zi turned around to scrub in for the surgery!
Meanwhile, the patient was wheeled in, visibly frightened by the presence of so many esteemed doctors.
Whatâs going on?
All these doctorsâ¦
He had never seen such a spectacle!
According to the patientâs thinking, minor surgeries should be simple to deal with, butâ¦seeing more than a dozen doctors in green surgical gowns standing there was rather terrifying.
âDirector Xiaâ¦what is thisâ¦whatâs going on with all these doctors?â the patient asked, clearly anxious.
Smiling, Xia Gaofeng said, âDidnât I tell you yesterday? We invited Director Tao from the Second Provincial Hospital to perform your surgery. All these are here to learn!â
Upon hearing this, the patient finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more assured.
After the preparations, the anesthesia was successful, and the surgery began!
Xia Gaofeng couldnât help but remind, âDirector Tao, the patient now has a fairly extensive area of adhesion, so probably a better surgical field is needed! Soâ¦about the incisionâ¦â
Tao Zi smiled faintly!
Last time Chen Cang had taught him how to modify the bilateral sub-mammary incision, and he didnât expect to use it so soon!
With that in mind, Tao Zi picked up the scalpel and began to make his move!
This incision immediately made the surrounding people frown slightly.
What kind of incision is this?
ps: Hehe, everyone should rest early, see you tomorrow at noon!
