Chapter 18 — On my first day as Director, I was kicked out of the cafeteria by the resident doctor

Chapter 23 On the third day after Phuong Tri Vien's surgical rights were restored, he performed a highly difficult artificial joint replacement surgery. The entire process lasted four and a half hours, without a single mistake. As the news spread, the young doctors of the Department of Bones and Joints, who had always been gloomy, became visibly more excited. Tham Ba Quan secretly said to Han Man privately: "This surgery of Director Phuong, the surgery is even more beautiful than before." People are sometimes like that. Falling painfully, or breaking apart, or becoming harder than before. Phuong Tri Vien belongs to the latter group. On Thursday afternoon, something even bigger happened. I received an official notification from the Provincial Health Committee. Hai Thanh People's Hospital No. 1 has entered the list of candidates for this year's Provincial Medical Center. This means that, if it passes the appraisal round, Hai Thanh Hospital 1's administrative rank, budget norms, and scientific research capacity certification will all be raised to a new level. Han Man ran in holding the notice, his face full of excitement.

"Director Co, this is a big deal. Last year, Hai Thanh Hospital 1 also applied once but did not win. This year being on the nomination list is already a breakthrough."

“When will the appraisal take place?”

"On the 20th of next month. The province will send a group of experts to survey the reality."

“What areas to survey?”

"Medical qualifications, scientific research achievements, management capacity, talented team, and social influence. Comprehensive scoring on these five criteria."

I looked at the list of appraisal council members listed on the notice. First name: Tran Trieu Hanh. The leader of the inspection team has come again. This time he didn't come to check for mistakes, but to grade.

"Han Man, from today, a special working group will be established, the entire hospital will prepare around the assessment standards. All Department Heads must participate, no one must be missing."

“Does Headmaster Phuong also count?”

"Now he is no longer the Chairman, but he is the surgical nucleus of the Department of Bones and Joints. The surgical data section is indispensable for him."

That afternoon, a hospital-wide deployment meeting was held. During the meeting, I announced the news of being on the nomination list. The reaction of the whole hall was enthusiastic beyond imagination. The eyes of many people have changed from "see what the Director is planning to do" to "this is an opportunity". Dean Ton proactively sought me out after the meeting.

"Director Co, Department of General Surgery can contribute anything to this evaluation, please arrange it."

The Dean of the Faculty of Code also expressed his attitude.

“The Department of Urology will use all its efforts to coordinate.”

Even the Dean of the Department of Money, who had always been indifferent, spoke up.

“The Department of Cardiothoracic and Thoracic Surgery's minimally invasive surgery data is very outstanding. If I need to come forward and report, I can prepare.”

The wind has changed direction. When a larger target emerges, previous infighting automatically takes a backseat. But there was one person who didn't show up at the implementation meeting. Liu Meihua. She asked for leave. The reason is that the body is not healthy. Han Man added: "The results of her medical examination just came out last week, there are no illnesses at all." I'm not investigating this matter. Liu My Hoa didn't come, there was her reason ta. Although I did not pursue her contact with the journalist last time, she understood in her heart that I was holding a screenshot of that recording. She is watching. Let's see if I can win a spot at the Provincial Health Center this time. If I get it, she will follow suit. If I don't get it, she will be the next one to challenge me. That is hospital management. There is never a time when you do the right thing and everything is auspicious. You must win. Only after winning does it count.
