A visit to the Anesthesiology Departnt prompted Liu Banxia to do so serious reflection.
He believed he had done well in managent, making everyone happy during the New Year festival and efficiently coordinating whenever there were issues in various departnts. But what was the reality? What he knew was just the surface. He hadn't truly delved into each departnt to understand their real difficulties.
Just as Wang Lei joked at lunch, a must-have skill for anesthesiologists is a large bladder. Sotis, continuous surgeries were indeed a tough battle for any ordinary person.
Moreover, a high resistance to fatigue was also crucial. For them, working consecutive shifts was all too common. Yes, they earned more, but they were essentially battling with their lives on the line.
Previously, he had been sowhat aware of the hardships anesthesiologists faced, yet he had never imagined it would be to such an extent. Perhaps this also stemd from the unique way the Ergency Center operated. After all, the fact that the Ergency Center's operating room was open to the inpatient departnts inadvertently increased their workload. His work still wasn't ticulous enough. At this rate, he really wasn't ready for bigger responsibilities.
As Liu Banxia was still pondering, Wang Huan walked in.
"You're back? Xu Hui told you wanted to see ?"
"Yes, I have sothing important to discuss," Liu Banxia responded earnestly.
He had been so imrsed in his own thoughts that he had nearly forgotten the crucial task of persuading Wang Huan today.
"Well, spit it out. Why do I feel a chill run down my spine? You haven't dug a pit for to fall into, have you?" Wang Huan asked suspiciously.
"Of course not. It's a good thing, a great thing, really," Liu Banxia said.
"Right now, we're essentially waiting for you to show your loyalty. Let's see what kind of contribution you're willing to make to our Ergency Center. Are you saying that's not important?"
"Can we just get straight to the point?" Wang Huan asked, his patience wearing thin.
"Fecal microbiota transplantation. We're looking forward to your participation," Liu Banxia said.
"'I've waited for you all morning, and this is what you want to tell ? No, thanks. Go ask Xu Hui,' Wang Huan said, shaking his head vehently."
"'Oh, I already did. Brother Hui agreed. Not only him but Wang Chao too,' Liu Banxia said, his tone dripping with 'sincerity.'"
"'Then why are you bothering ? If you have both of them, that should be enough. I'm already exhausted with my daily patient load. Where would I find the ti for this?' Wang Huan retorted."
"'But they're both worried they can't handle it alone. Both Wang Chao and Brother Hui feel that their ability to manage potential risks is too low with just the two of them. They need soone else to back them up,' Liu Banxia explained."
"Wang Chao is a general surgeon. Although he currently doesn't get many opportunities to perform major surgeries independently, he definitely will in the future. A single surgery might take four to five hours, or even seven to eight hours, right?"
Wang Huan nodded; he was well aware of this. He wasn't a newcor to the hospital. There was never a precise tifra for how long a surgery might take. A more complex lesion site could easily double the projected surgery ti.
"As for Brother Hui, he can indeed devote his energy to this. After all, even if we're starting a bit late with the fecal microbiota transplantation project, we can still catch up to the international research progress."
"But Brother Hui also has reservations. Wang Chao initiated this. If Brother Hui just jumps in, he's worried it'll look like he's snatching credit. In other words, he's a bit hesitant."
"'So, I'm supposed to be the one to brazenly snatch the credit?' Wang Huan asked, unsure whether to laugh or cry."
He was sowhat baffled by Liu Banxia. He knew he was being persuaded, but did Liu Banxia really have to use this kind of reasoning? He didn't have such thick skin as to be indifferent to what others might say.
"'You see, that's the problem,' Liu Banxia said with a shrug. 'We all know that idle talk can be fearso, so we hesitate when making decisions, even if we know it's the right thing to do.'"
"I can already foresee a terrible outco. Because you're unwilling to join, and Brother Hui is even more reserved, Wang Chao will be left to struggle alone. He clearly wouldn't be able to cope and would have to hand over the project."
"Once handed over, the hospital will definitely assign it to an inpatient departnt. By then, our Ergency Center will end up with nothing—a total loss."
"Please don't think I'm trying to trick you. After all, Wang Chao has already tried it, and the results were quite promising. This will give many people confidence. Considering its potential value, it's a good project, wouldn't you agree?"
Wang Huan frowned. He found himself listening with an attention he hadn't expected.
"Otherwise, why would I say it's ti for you to step up for the Ergency Center? Can you just stand by and watch such a good project slip into soone else's hands?" Liu Banxia pressed on.
"That's the gist of it, and that's the situation. Whether you can put the collective good above personal convenience, for the sake of our Ergency Center, is entirely up to you."
"'HEH, you think I'll fall for your tricks just because you put it that way?' Wang Huan said with a cold laugh. 'You make it sound so tragic, as if I'm deeply wronged, and expect to fall into your trap? That's not enough.'"
"If that were really the case, you wouldn't be beating around the bush so much. At the very least, Wang Chao would have to co and discuss this too. So, tell , are there any other reasons? If not, let's just get back to our own work."
Liu Banxia's mouth fell open for a mont before he raised a thumb. "'Just as expected from a veteran of the martial world. Actually, I do have a personal stake in this. Hero, sit down. Let's discuss this at length, shall we?'"
Wang Huan ignored him but sat down nonetheless.
"'Currently, my promotion to deputy director is a bit uncertain due to external competition,' Liu Banxia said. 'Rumor has it that an externally hired attending plastic surgeon, a chief physician-level expert, is going to compete with for the deputy director position.'"
Hearing this, Wang Huan also grew serious.
Having worked in this system for so many years, Wang Huan naturally understood how significantly this promotion to deputy director, at Liu Banxia's age, would broaden his future prospects.
"So, I was wondering if I needed so more achievents. In terms of seniority and professional title, we can't compete with him. The only thing we can rely on is the support and contributions of our brothers."
"If this project really cos to fruition, it would be like a new initiative established during my tenure. The dal of rit will be half yours, but surely there's a small spot for on it too."
"Results from the teaching and training program aren't that easy to achieve, and the impact might not be significant. If I don't have any outstanding achievents, I'll be too embarrassed to even compete."
"Banxia, are you pulling my leg? Is this situation for real?" Wang Huan asked.
Liu Banxia nodded. "How could I joke about sothing like this? The Ergency Center is thriving now, so everyone wants a piece of the pie. They don't want to see it monopolized by Chief Director Chen and Director Zhou."
"The top leader is Chief Director Chen, and our direct supervisor is Director Zhou. Old Chen has both the seniority and the professional title to compete for this deputy director position. The only one who could possibly disrupt that is , right?"
"Wang Chao ntioned this to yesterday; otherwise, I wouldn't be pushing this so urgently. Actually, you know ; I wasn't initially that keen on becoming deputy director. I knew I was far from qualified."
"But now the situation has evolved to this point. Our Ergency Center seems to be doing well, but it's still vulnerable and can't withstand any major disturbances."
"Regardless of who cos in, whether intentionally or not, they will inevitably propose their own ideas and strive for their own achievents. And their approach will inevitably not align completely with Director Zhou's vision."
"You must be very familiar with Director Zhou's personality and work ethic by now. A newcor might not necessarily cause trouble, but more people will join in the future."
Wang Huan pinched the bridge of his nose. He hadn't expected such a complication; he'd assud Liu Banxia's promotion to deputy director was a sure thing. Liu Banxia had the ability and was clearly favored by the Chief Director—wasn't it practically a done deal? If this was true, then this "nail" wasn't going to be hamred in so easily. No wonder the plastic surgeon hadn't been assigned yet; this was the real reason!
"'You really know how to put soone in a bind,' Wang Huan said, giving Liu Banxia a look."
"'HEH, the way I see it,' Liu Banxia said with a chuckle, 'for you three, it's killing three birds with one stone. For and you three, it's achieving two goals at once.'"
"Brother Hui and I also discussed this. This project might not achieve major breakthroughs, but so minor successes are guaranteed. It won't be thankless work; there will be so rewards, won't there?"
"'It's just so tiring. We were hoping another person would be assigned so we could get more rest. And now, just when we saw a glimr of that hope, we have to dedicate our ti to this instead,' Wang Huan said helplessly."
"'Indeed, it is. And that's why this is your contribution, as I said from the start,' Liu Banxia nodded. 'But I won't force you. After all, our work is exhausting, and you still need to balance your job and family life.'"
"'Since you've put it that way, how can I refuse? You're such a scher. No wonder the kids call you the Great Demon King. Treat to a good dinner tonight, and you have to help with the preparations,' Wang Huan declared before turning and walking back to his consultation room, hands clasped behind his back."
Liu Banxia pumped his fist. He had finally succeeded in winning them over one by one.
Although he partly wanted to claim so credit for himself, his primary motivation was genuinely to keep this project within the Ergency Center. This project might earn him so points, but not a significant amount. If he had been the one to initiate it, that would have carried more weight. Still, this was a load off his mind. Now he could fully focus on the teaching program and the upcoming competition for deputy director. The several heavy burdens on his shoulders suddenly felt much lighter. Indeed, tasks only seem daunting before you start; procrastination is the real enemy.
