Chapter 1019: Shrimp Head

“The concept of a training camp is not too bad. We can apply offensive and defensive measures whenever we like. It’s a pretty good idea. We can do it once first. We can hold a selection process and give rewards during the camp.” Huo Congjun read the proposal given by Zuo Cidian and nodded nonstop. “The planning is quite thoughtful as well. Since the Emergency Medical Center has expanded, it is necessary to increase the number of in-service training doctors and medical interns we have. Coincidently, we have a hostel too. That can save up quite some costs…”

“I discussed the details with Doctor Qi Zao.” Zuo Cidian did not want to argue in such a place. He also had no intention of suppressing Qi Zao despite the fact that she was just a medical intern.

“Oh,” Huo Congjun replied, and he noticed the lady who stood behind Zuo Cidian. He smiled and said, “Young Qi, you’re still a medical intern, right? You’re from Yun Hua University School of Medicine?”

“Yes. I’m from the same university as Doctor Ling,” Qi Zao said and immediately explained, “I’m not a fangirl of Doctor Ling, but I’m proud of Doctor Ling.”

“Okay, very good. Good sentiments.” Huo Congjun was happy with the medical intern, Qi Zao.

In the hospital, department directors usually treated doctors below the rank of resident doctor pretty well. Perhaps it was because their social distance was just too far apart. Hence, as long as they were fond of the newcomers, they would not be too fierce to them.

Even if Huo Congjun wanted to scold someone, he would scold the doctors who were attending physicians or associate chief physicians.

However, when Qi Zao saw Huo Congjun’s face, she was still so nervous that her body became stiff.

“If you’re in charge of the training camp, do you think you can handle it?” Huo Congjun’s gaze fell on Zuo Cidian again.

Zuo Cidian’s face was slightly wrinkled, chubby, dry, dark, and had large pores scattered all over his face. Regardless of whichever angle he stood, he looked like a laborer, and other people would be unable to control themselves from giving him work.

Zuo Cidian was used to it, and he was even well prepared for it. When he heard Huo Congjun’s words, he immediately said, “No problem, but the cost of the training camp is high…”

“That’s nothing!” Huo Congjun waved and looked at Qi Zao again. He said, “Our ICU has extra money left from its initial budget. I’ll inform the hospital administration. It shouldn’t be any problem to give you some money for your expenditures.”

“That’s great.” Zuo Cidian could not help but smile. He was more excited than fearful, as he was in charge of such a huge project. For Zuo Cidian, this might be a chance for him to overtake others. Or rather, if he did this project successfully, this might redefine his life.

At the same time, this might redefine the hospital structure of Changxi Province.

Huo Congjun thought about the same problem. He patted Zuo Cidian with a steady hand and said, “Let’s shut the door to talk about this. The hospital relies very much on medical interns and in-service training doctors, and it’s especially so after our ICU is built. There’s an even higher demand for them after that. However, after we recruit them, our own attitude toward them is very important as well. Doctors, even those in-service training doctors might be a bit arrogant…”

Zuo Cidian said demurely, “I understand. Before we decide on which in-service training doctors come in, I’ll treat them as politely as I treat the relatives I visit during the new year.”

“What happens after they join?” Qi Zao, who lacked working experience, asked curiously.

Zuo Cidian smiled faintly. “Of course we’ll treat them as politely as we do to our relatives during the Chinese new year visitation. And by that, I mean we’ll treat them as politely as we do to them AFTER the new year.”

…..

Ren Qi was a bit lost and looked around the operating theater.

Work in the Emergency Department was the most unfulfilling work in the hospital. This department needed to bear great pressure, and it needed to face the most prominent doctor-patient conflicts. Most importantly, this department was the most neglected department of the hospital, despite the fact that this department needed to handle many dirty and messy scenarios.

If Ren Qi was given the choice to choose again, he would most likely choose to master atrial septal defect closure, which was a surgery belonging to the Cardiology Department, or knee arthroscopy of the Orthopedics Department, or even hepatectomy…

Ren Qi, once again, did not know what to do, but he did curl up the corners of his mouth with amusement…

“You over there. Why are you standing around doing nothing?” Doctor Zhou walked over leisurely.

Ren Qi knew that he could not run away when he saw it was Doctor Zhou. He obediently showed the calmness of an in-service training doctor. “Doctor Zhou, I just did a physical examination for a patient.”

“Okay, well done.” Doctor Zhou nodded.

In-service training doctors were similar to medical interns. They could be used as they pleased, but when they used them, they had to pay more attention to how they used them, and they also had to be more polite.

Ren Qi was confused by Doctor Zhou’s polite tone.

“Please follow me.” Doctor Zhou did not waste his breath. He put his hands behind him and brought Ren Qi around.

In Doctor Zhou’s experience, when someone put his hands behind his back, not only did it show that he was capable, the patients and their family members would also be calmer, and their attitude would be better as well. Afterall, if they placed their hands behind their backs, they would look like leaders.

In truth, Doctor Zhou could be considered as the leader in the emergency room, because the chief physicians and associate chief physicians usually preferred the operating theater and resuscitation room.

Ren Qi had no choice but to follow Doctor Zhou. He knew he was the next doctor to be exploited by Doctor Zhou.

Luckily, Doctor Zhou was willing to teach something. This allowed Ren Qi to slowly calm down. After all, he was not familiar with the emergency room.

The reception nurse immediately sent a patient over and said, “Doctor Zhou, the patient says that he swallowed a shrimp head whole during his breakfast… Now, his throat is not feeling well, and it’s hard for him to swallow…”

“Why eat shrimps for breakfast?” Ren Qi could not understand.

The patient looked at Ren Qi so calmly that he even looked aloof.

Ren Qi coughed, and he quickly schooled his expression to one of calmness as well.

“Doctor Ren, please give him a diagnosis,” Doctor Zhou said with the tone of an examiner, and he passed all the workload to Ren Qi.

Ren Qi hesitated for a few seconds and said, “So, is there a foreign object in his throat?”

“Yes,” Doctor Zhou replied and asked, “And?”

“And… I’m to take it out?” Ren Qi whispered.

Doctor Zhou glared at Ren Qi.

“Firstly, use a laryngeal mirror. A fiber laryngoscope is okay too…” Ren Qi thought about it and, finally, he said something useful.

Doctor Zhou nodded. “Let’s start, then.”

He moved his hands from behind his back, but he just placed them in front of him, making it clear that he did not intend to do anything.

At this moment, the family members that followed the patients rushed forward and said, “Excuse me… Doctor, I would like to say something, I hope you won’t be upset.”

The patient’s family member was a fifty-year-old man. He wore a pair of glasses and looked like an intellectual.

Doctor Zhou would not spend much of his stamina on consultation. So, he gave the patient’s family member a smile and said, “It’s okay, please go on.”

“My son just came back from the USA. You know how it is. He kept praising the USA. So, I told him that China’s medical treatment is fabulous too. I even used a fish bone as an example. In the USA, it costs a lot to take out a fish bone. But in our own country, this process only costs a few RMB, and we only need a few minutes to get it done.” Then, the man smiled and said, “Doctor, can you please give my son a lesson?”

His words were reasonable… and they also revealed that there was a story behind this entire accident…

If this happened to hardworking doctors, most of them would perform the surgery.

However, when Doctor Zhou thought about this, he said, “In our country, we can’t promise that it costs only a few RMB and takes only a few minutes to get this surgery done. We’ll check first. If we can see it using a laryngeal mirror, it’ll be a simple surgery.”

“Okay, okay.” The patient’s family member could only nod.

Doctor Zhou instructed Ren Qi to continue.

Ren Qi turned around and asked in puzzlement, “You were talking about fish bones just now, right? Did he deliberately swallow the shrimp head?”

The father said seriously, “How could it be possible? Our family just eats shrimp this way!”
