Chapter 10 — After I Left the ICU, the Whole Emergency System Went Downhill
No need to go to each department for support every time there is an emergency. No need to wait until something happens to know who is worth trusting. But when the thing I wanted most was actually placed in front of me, I didn't immediately reach out to receive it. Luong Hoai Xuyen saw the hesitation in my eyes.
“If you have any requests, just say so.”
I calmly replied:
“First, appoint Manh Tri Vi as the person in charge of nursing.”
“Second, reassess the entire ICU.”
"Those who blamed, claimed credit or deliberately concealed risks last night will be transferred from the key emergency department."
“Third, the Intensive Care Center must operate independently.”
“The administrative sector must not overstep its authority to interfere with clinical professional decisions.”
Luong Hoai Xuyen pondered for a moment.
“This can be discussed.”
“It's not a matter of discussion.”
I raised my head and looked straight at him.
“That is a prerequisite.”
Luong Hoai Xuyen looked at me for a long time. Finally nodded. I picked up the pen. The news quickly spread throughout the hospital. Not long after, several doctors in the department came one after another. People who had messaged in the group that Giang Nhiem was young, enthusiastic and promising were now standing outside the office door with red faces.
“Director On, we were confused before.”
“Don't accept us.”
The person next to him immediately chimed in:
“That's right.”
“We were also deceived by Giang Nhiem.”
“I really didn't know that those things were all my achievements.”
I looked at them.
“You don't know.”
"So can you arbitrarily say that I am too strong, the costs are too high, and I take a position that doesn't give young people a chance?"
The others immediately bowed their heads lower.
“Director On.”
“We will definitely listen to you in the future.”
I pushed the evaluation board in front of them.
“Don't listen to me from now on.”
“Listen to the rules.”
“Listen according to your ability.”
“Listen to the patient's indicators.”
Several people simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. I keep saying:
“The key emergency services will be selected again from the beginning.”
“Those who do not pass the assessment will move on to a rotation in the regular treatment area.”
The expressions of several people immediately changed.
“Director On.”
“Is that too strict?”
I looked straight at him.
“Last night when the patient's heart stopped beating for the fourth time.”
“Do you think Giang Nhiem is too strict?”
The whole office immediately fell silent. Zhou Yubai had been standing there for a long time. Wait until everyone has dispersed before he enters. Still holding the divorce agreement in hand. There is an appointment confirmation stamp above.
“Can we talk one more time?”
I didn't raise my head.
"Let's go to the Medical Department to talk about work."
“If you talk about divorce, go to the Civil Affairs Department.”
His voice was hoarse.
“I know I was wrong.”
I finished signing the final document. Only then did I raise my head to look at him. Dark circles under the eyes are very obvious. The chin is full of stubble. His whole body was so tired that he no longer looked like the cold, calm Chairman Chu of yesteryear. But I no longer had any emotions in my heart. Struggle coming late is never synonymous with sincerity.
“Zhou Yubai.”
"Your mistake was not because you didn't see Giang Nhiem clearly."
I closed the pen cap.
“It's because you see me so clearly.”
He was stunned.
“You know I will be patient endure.”
“Know I always put the patient first.”
"Know that I won't bring marriage to the table to win or lose."
“So time after time, you pushed me back.”
I stood up. Return the agreement to him.
“But now I can't hold back anymore.”
Three days later. The results of treatment of Giang Nhiem were officially announced. Because of violating regulations in accessing documents. Impersonating someone else to submit a reform proposal. At the same time, serious errors were made in clinical treatment. Her status as an intensive care specialist in the hospital was revoked. Transferred from the clinical level. Tan Tranh was dismissed from his position. Chu Du Bach still holds the position of Head of the Cardiology Department. But the project to expand the center was canceled. At the same time, within three years, you are not allowed to apply for any management position. Together with Manh Tri Vi and a group of re-selected personnel. Moved to the newly established Intensive Care Center. The day the center officially came into operation. The first ambulance blared its siren and rushed straight to the door. Manh Tri Vi turned his head to look at me.
“Director On.”
“Everything is ready.”
I wear gloves. Raise your hand to push the emergency room door open. Inside was brightly lit. The sound of the monitor sounded regularly and clearly. I walked in. I am no longer anyone's wife. It is also not a resource that others can freely exchange. Behind the door is the patient. In front of the door is the future. And behind me is the past that has ended. I am On Tung. It is the last door on the front line of fighting for life.
