Chapter 1497: Chapter 1119: Sometimes, quite offensive.

Dean Xia emerged unscathed and returned to his position, even more determined after this turmoil to carry out the reforms to completion. He used to have some reservations about the veteran department heads who were holding back progress, but now he has none at all. He plans to make significant changes to adapt the hospital’s management system to its development.

The unexpected consequences of this turmoil quickly emerged as several other hospital directors and deputy directors used for comparison at the time were removed, including one director of a top-tier hospital who was discovered to have fabricated his educational background. He somehow obtained a doctoral degree, but when his Master’s and Doctoral schools were investigated, no records of him existed. When questioned about the papers representing his academic achievements, he was speechless, having no recollection of writing them. It was later discovered that the papers were ghostwritten by a doctoral student at their hospital, with the director only signing his name, and naturally, over time, he forgot about the papers. The doctors at that hospital were stunned to realize they had been led by a fake doctor for years, explaining why his speeches were always full of empty rhetoric, as he did it out of necessity for fear of being exposed.

Initially, there was concern that Dean Xia’s incident might negatively affect the hospital’s morale, but these worries proved unwarranted. Investigations failed to uncover any issues, except for finding a small stash of expensive tea leaves in his office. However, it was established that these leaves were merely taken from Yang Ping’s office from time to time, and Dean Xia also occasionally gifted tea leaves to Yang Ping, thus it was more of an exchange rather than bribery. Both were tea enthusiasts with a good personal relationship, so gifting tea leaves was no big deal.

Ultimately, this incident didn’t harm the hospital’s morale; rather, it had a hugely positive impact. People finally saw what kind of person Dean Xia truly was. While everyone previously acknowledged his competence, they were unclear about his integrity. After all, knowing the circumstances many hospital directors were in throughout the years was common knowledge. Nobody expected that investigations would only reveal more of Dean Xia’s innocence and result in the downfall of more directors from other hospitals. For similar items, the price differences were substantial, and all government subsidies reached Sanbo Hospital, whereas doctors and nurses in other hospitals were not even aware of their existence.

Even a comedic twist occurred at the end of the investigation; several hospital directors were almost unanimously voicing support for Dean Xia, claiming such persistent investigations against a director as incorruptible as him would dishearten people, urging to stop the investigations to prevent disrupting morale. Dean Xia himself did not expect so many peers to speak on his behalf.

A new wave of reform commenced at Sanbo Hospital, as several old department heads with no ambition and only receiving salaries were replaced entirely. Young, capable, and high-quality doctors were promoted to head positions.

The Sanbo Laboratory spawned a batch of high-quality papers around the topic of tumor treatment, all published in the Chinese Journal, Medical, which allowed Chinese to obtain a certain degree of discourse power in this field. Scholars from other countries need to learn Chinese to understand these cutting-edge tumor treatment innovations, ensuring they read the original papers to prevent misunderstandings due to misinterpretation.

In fact, language does not need to be promoted; when your various capabilities reach a certain level, others will naturally come to learn from you. When the strength is not there, no amount of effort will yield significant results. Strength encompasses many aspects, with technological strength being a crucial one. If top papers in a particular industry are published in Chinese, individuals in that field won’t need promotion; they will independently opt to learn Chinese driven by benefits, since learning this language leads to profits. Nobody engages in activities unprofitable; if they do, it is temporary, rare, and passive.

Presently, over eighty percent of scientific achievements are published in English. Therefore, if one wishes to learn cutting-edge technology in any industry, learning English is unavoidable. In the medical field, high-quality journals are primarily English journals. Doctors prefer to publish their papers in English journals, so to connect with and learn the latest medical knowledge, they must learn English. Certainly, there are translated journals and monographs, but the delay is significant and translation quality is often poor, serving only the purpose of translation, without care for translation quality.

For instance, when a medical monograph is handed over to a specialized translation agency or team for translation due to the medical specialty, these agencies might seek assistance from professors within the industry for translation. Professors being busy and lacking time to translate, end up passing on the task to their graduate students, who translate hastily while having late-night instant noodles, resulting in mediocre translation quality.

On the desk lies a stack of printed Medical journals, with Yang Ping highly satisfied. Initially, Medical was temporarily managed by Tang Shun, who did an admirable job. Now, Tang Shun has stepped back from the management team, and a professional team composed entirely of top talents in the field has been established.
