Chapter 664 - Chapter 664 【664】Which department is poor and exhausting

Chapter 664: [(664)] Which department is poor and exhausting? Chapter 664: [(664)] Which department is poor and exhausting? Medical professionals, like those in other industries, need to eat. It’s only natural to want to make a living, and there’s no need to be ashamed. Therefore, in addition to their desired field of study, how much income each department brings in for its staff is a point of focus for medical graduates deciding which department to join.

The simplest example would be the Neurology Department, which is rumored to have poor income and low benefits, thus it has been quickly crossed off the list of potential departments by many medical students. While hospitals are picking out medical students, medical students are equally picky about the hospitals.

“Everyone says our ninth floor is the most badass, having the highest revenue split of any two departments in the hospital.”

Neurosurgery and Hepatobiliary Surgery are the wealthiest, and Xie Wanying couldn’t help but start a mental calculation of little cash signs.

“Which department is the most tiring and least profitable, guess?”

A group of nurses got excited talking about money, completely oblivious to someone’s arrival.

Xie Wanying was also a bit curious and perked up her ears to listen.

“Emergency, I know they’re exhausted in the ER and they don’t see much money. A classmate of mine works there, and she’s always complaining to me about how tired she is and how little money she makes.”

“Emergency departments are okay, I think. I’ve always heard the income level for the ER is mid-range.”

“Neurology doesn’t make much money, but they’re not tired, they don’t have much heavy work to do. The really serious patients are either transferred to Neurosurgery or to ICU.”

“Surgery departments generally don’t lack money.”

“Isn’t Pediatric Surgery quite low on funds?”

“Pediatric Surgery doesn’t have many patients, so where would the money come from?”

“You get what you pay for. I really can’t think of a department that’s both tiring and unprofitable like you guys mentioned.”

“That’s why you can’t guess, it’s Cardiothoracic Surgery.”

Xie Wanying was shocked: What, Cardiothoracic Surgery is poor and exhausting?

“That’s true for Cardiology as well. Their patients are critically ill and in urgent need, with heart disease and all. But I’ve heard their bonuses aren’t as high as Ward Five.”

“Placing stents is much more troublesome than the endoscopies in Ward Five.”

“What’s the deal with Cardiothoracic Surgery? Don’t they have a lot of patients?”

“From what they say within their department, they always get deducted for equipment expenses, and who knows how long that will continue.”

In recent years, Cardiothoracic Surgery has been focusing on the cardiac specialty area and has introduced new equipment, which cost the hospital a hefty sum. This amount is gradually deducted from the department’s bonuses over time.

“We in Hepatobiliary Surgery are luckier. Firstly, the equipment didn’t cost as much as theirs, and secondly, we bought ours early.”

“Dr. Tao insisted we buy it early. Back then, there were some in the department who opposed it, but he proved to be right. Now, we’re good, the bonuses are rolling in.”

“Has Dr. Tao arrived yet?”

“Yes, he’s in the office. He was away on a business trip and just got back today, arrived quite early.”

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Tao Zhijie stepped out of the doctors’ office. A group of nurses noticed him come out, and then turned to see the two people standing by the nurse station.

Xie Wanying mentally cringed, oops, so engrossed in the money talk she hadn’t realized she let Senior Cao stand and listen in too.

“Dr. Cao!” The nurses from Hepatobiliary Surgery realized it was Cao Yong and each drew a sharp breath.

The nurse sisters here are afraid of Senior Cao? Xie Wanying was a bit surprised by this scene. Understanding the fears of the nurses when it came to the ill-tempered Teacher Tan made sense, but the gentlemanly Senior Cao was usually well-liked.

“Did you two bump into each other on the way here?” Tao Zhijie, with hands in the pockets of his white coat, looked at them with a smile in his eyes.

“Yes, we met on the stairs. Senior Cao said he wanted to come and see my classmate,” Xie Wanying quickly answered her senior’s question.
