Chapter 540 - Chapter 540 Hospital Internal Adjustment

Chapter 540: Hospital Internal Adjustment Chapter 540: Hospital Internal Adjustment Kang Mingzhu: Little junior sister, don’t use me as a pawn in your professional scheming.

The others were on the verge of laughing like ducks.

“Did he stay up late last night?” Yu Xuexian asked, following up with Huang Zhilei, who was with Cao Yong.

In fact, it wasn’t just her; all the other senior brothers and sisters could tell as well.

“Senior Cao was on a business trip yesterday and got back this morning,” said Huang Zhilei. “He probably didn’t rest well. He rushed to perform a surgery as soon as he returned.”

“Was it because the wind was too strong last night when you were out?” Zhu Huicang suspected that his old classmate’s throat was affected by the wind.

The Capital area was infamous for its strong winds and sand.

Listening to each of them guessing his symptoms, Cao Yong couldn’t help but laugh and cry; he came to eat, not to get diagnosed, so he involuntarily patted his little junior sister’s head.

After her senior brother patted her head, Xie Wanying got the message: she saw how much attention her concern for her senior brother in front of so many people had drawn and how “serious” the subsequent scrutiny from others was. She knew she had to be more cautious next time.

“It’s nothing serious, no sore throat. I just talked a lot yesterday, so my voice is a bit hoarse,” Cao Yong generally explained the situation to everyone to ease their worries.

“Did you go to a meeting on your business trip?” Yu Xuexian asked him.

“Yes.”

“Went to argue?” Zhu Huicang continued to tease his old classmate.

“Can we eat now?” Cao Yong squinted at him.

“Let’s eat, let’s eat,” Zhu Huicang decided to quit while he was ahead and called the waiter to serve the dishes.

Several stir-fried dishes were served steaming hot, and the soup that had been prepared behind the scenes in the kitchen was brought out, along with some rice.

Xie Wanying focused on her meal while listening to her seniors talk about hospital affairs.

“Why do I hear that Ward Six might be merging back with your Ward Five?” Zhu Huicang asked.

It had only been a few years since Ward Six split off; could the possible merger back with Ward Five be due to an adjustment in the hospital departments?

“You must understand, Ward Six was split off because the hospital wanted to establish a liver department,” Yu Xuexian, who was familiar with the ins and outs of internal medicine, said, “But the hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery department was certainly not happy about it. If a real liver department was formed, they’d lose a lot of patients and benefits. Plus, surgery in Ward Three is highly developed now, and all their key technicians wouldn’t be transferred to internal medicine. This put Ward Six in an awkward position. To build up their own reputation would take time, and patients would naturally prefer the well-established Ward Three, as they handle both internal and external treatments, eliminating the need for Ward Six. The liver department is a renowned specialty of our hospital, and President Wu wanted to expand this department, but there were too many complications involved. It’s better to just expand the bed count in Ward Three. We’ll have to wait until the surgery building is up.”

“So, are you saying that this news is reliable? If so, what will happen to the staff in Ward Six? Are they all going back to Ward Five? The main diseases they treat are similar to those in Ward Five. What will Ward Six become in the future?” Zhu Huicang fired off a series of questions.

“Why are you asking me these questions? Cao Yong is much more familiar with our hospital’s leadership than I am, he knows better,” Yu Xuexian looked towards Cao Yong.

Seeing everyone’s gaze turn to him, Cao Yong shook his head: “How would I know? I haven’t asked anyone. What do you want to do with that information anyway?”

A major departmental overhaul meant that the affected staff would need to find new paths. Presumably, those who were affected were feeling anxious. At the same time, if a new department were established, it would mean a significant opportunity for graduating medical students to stay at Guoxie, as the new department would undoubtedly be short-staffed.

“Just tell us what you know,” Zhu Huicang gave his old classmate a look.

“What I want to say is, if you’re competent, no matter how the hospital adjusts, you will definitely continue to be employed, appointed, and valued by the hospital,” Cao Yong said.
