Chapter 2 — Steal My Dean's Chair? The Director personally handled it
“Just submit it.”
Chu Ninh was impatient:
“Doctor Tham, are you really going to let her do whatever she wants?”
“If she wants power, let her sign.”
Manh Khai Minh looked at me.
“You want to let her take responsibility for herself?”
"If you want to sit on the Dean's chair, you should understand that the Dean position is not just for wearing a white blouse and taking pictures."
In the afternoon, Phuong Nha returned three copies of my treatment plan. She threw them directly on the desk.
“Rewrite.”
I didn't raise my head.
“Too conservative.”
“What indicators show that this option is too conservative?”
She stopped.
“My eyes know it.”
In the office, several other doctors all stopped writing at the same time. I put down the pen.
“Dean Phuong.”
“Patients are not objects on display for you to show off your abilities.”
Phuong Nha immediately raised her voice:
“Tham Nghien Thu, don't think that just because you've had a few surgeries, you can ignore anyone.”
I looked at her.
“First let me see that you really have a patient in your eyes.”
Phuong Nha's face turned red.
“I will report your attitude to Vice Principal Phuong.”
Just as she turned to leave, Chu Ninh handed over a payment invoice.
"The family of patient in bed number 18 wants to meet the Head of the Department to ask about treatment plans."
Phuong Nha immediately stood up straight.
“Let them in.”
The people who entered were the son and daughter-in-law of patient bed number 18. The son asked:
“Who is the Dean?”
Phuong Nha immediately stepped forward. The daughter-in-law glanced at me.
“But it has always been Dr. Tham in charge.”
Phuong Nha smiled:
"Doctor Tham has experience, but currently all work in the department is coordinated by me."
The boy frowned.
“So who decides my father's treatment plan?”
Phuong Nha picked up my medical records.
“I will readjust.”
I spoke up:
“The current plan has been discussed and agreed upon with the patient's family.”
Phuong Nha immediately interrupted:
“Now I am the Dean.”
I looked towards the patient's family.
"If you want to change, please clearly state all the risks that arise and sign the confirmation right here."
The daughter-in-law immediately asked:
“What risk?”
Phuong Nha's hand trembled.
“Doctor Tham, are you scaring the patient's family?”
I calmly replied:
“I just ask you to be responsible for what you say.”
The boy's face immediately darkened.
“Dean Phuong, can you tell me directly why the treatment plan had to be changed?”
Phuong Nha flipped through a few pages of the medical record.
“Because I think that would be more appropriate.”
“Where is it suitable?”
She couldn't answer. Manh Khai Minh stood next to him and spoke:
“Dean Phuong, the patient's family asked very clearly.”
Chu Ninh also continued:
"The patient has only been stable since last night. If you want to change the treatment plan, the nursing side also needs an official written explanation."
Phuong Nha turned to look at me.
“Everyone colludes, right?”
I stood up.
“No one colluded.”
“It's just that everyone understands one thing very clearly.”
“This place is a hospital.”
“It's not the place for you to practice being a Dean.”
Finally, the patient's family asked to keep the original treatment plan. Phuong Nha tried to suppress her anger and signed the confirmation. Before stepping out Leaving the office, she said in a low voice:
“Tham Nghien Thu, don't be too quick to be complacent.”
“I am not pleased at all.”
“I just feel lucky that the patient was able to avoid a dangerous incident.”
The next day, all kinds of rumors began to spread in the hospital's internal chat groups. Some people said that I did not accept the appointment decision, so I openly opposed the new Dean. Some people say I create factions and force patients' families to take my side. Some people even say I use patient safety as a bargaining chip. Chu Ninh showed me his phone.
"Doctor Tham, it's definitely Phuong Nha's side spreading the news."
I glanced at the screen. The person who distributed the message is Hua Man, an employee of the Propaganda Department. She is Phuong Nha's college classmate. Chu Ninh was so angry that he was shaking.
“They are really too much.”
“How many people are in that group?”
“More than a hundred people.”
Chu Ninh was stunned.
“Enough of what?”
“Enough to make them think they won.”
Ten o'clock in the morning. Hua Man brought a camera to the department.
“Dean Phuong, the hospital is conducting a seminar on the core young staff, and wanted to take some photos while working.”
Phuong Nha immediately adjusted her blouse.
“Just in case, I'm going to visit the hospital room.”
She stopped in front of the door of hospital room number 18, deliberately standing still.
“Doctor Tham, please come along too.”
I followed. The patient's son is in the hospital room. Phuong Nha turned towards the camera, smiled and said:
“As the person in charge of the department, I always emphasize management according to standards.”
Hua Man laughed in agreement.
“Dean Phuong is both young and very decisive.”
At that moment, the patient's son suddenly spoke up:
“You are the one who wanted to change my father's treatment regimen yesterday, right?”
The camera in Hua Man's hand immediately stopped. The smile on Phuong Nha's face stiffened for a moment.
“Perhaps the patient's family misunderstood.”
The patient's daughter-in-law also just walked over.
“We did not misunderstand.”
“Yesterday you said you wanted to change, but when we asked why, you couldn't explain a single sentence.”
Soon, people gathered in the hallway to watch. Hua Man quickly lowered the camera.
“Patient's family members, please don't be too excited.”
The patient's son pointed towards me.
“We only trust Dr. Tham.”
Phuong Nha tried to suppress her anger.
“This is a hospital, not a market.”
“It's not true that whoever you want to treat will be treated by that person.”
I spoke up:
“Then follow the rules.”
“The patient's doctor has not recommended any changes.”
“The patient's family has not agreed to the change.”
“The treatment team has not completed the consultation.”
“The dean cannot deny everything with just one sentence.”
Manh Khai Minh walked out of the office.
“I can testify.”
Chu Ninh also stood up.
“The nursing staff still has all the records.”
Hua Man reminded in a low voice:
“Phuong Nha, stop taking pictures.”
Phuong Nha stared at me.
“Tham Nghien Thu, did you do it on purpose?”
I calmly replied:
“If you want to take specialized photos, I will coordinate.”
“It's just that in front of the camera, the truth will also enter the frame.”
Among the interns watching, someone couldn't help but laugh. Phuong Nha's face immediately turned pale. Not long after, Phuong Thanh Hai was in a hurry Gold came running. He first reassured the patient's family, then called me alone into a small conference room. The door just closed. His expression immediately changed.
“Tham Nghien Thu, what do you want to do?”
"Work."
Phuong Nha's eyes were red.
“Uncle, she deliberately aimed at you.”
