Chapter 756 - 351: Old Wang, I Won’t Change Jobs

Chapter 756: Chapter 351: Old Wang, I Won’t Change Jobs

People who don’t get along with the leadership are definitely not liked by the leaders. Even if the leaders don’t give them a hard time, the sycophants around them will seize the opportunity.

Because this is a chance to curry favor with the leadership.

In the end, those doctors and nurses who don’t follow these unwritten rules are all pushed out.

Over time, a relatively rigid circle forms, which becomes even harder to change.

The only solution is to wait for this leader to retire or be transferred.

A foreign high-tech company boss once said that it’s not a bad thing that human life only spans a few decades. This allows for a continual renewal of leadership, promoting human development.

Li Jingsheng is just an attending physician, and an orthopedic surgeon at that. So, opposing Director Luo, an expert in neurology, might seem somewhat out of his depth.

It might even cause many present to privately think of him as young and arrogant, too brash.

At this moment, the child’s father’s phone rang.

"Hello!"

"Oh, it’s Director Wang, that’s great. My son fell last night..." The call received by the child was from Wang Weiwei.

This person is the top cardiovascular expert at the People’s Hospital.

The child’s father briefly described the situation.

"You say there are quite good cardiovascular doctors at the Second Hospital? Is it Director Jin? He’s right here."

The child’s father looked at Director Jin.

The latter also came over, ready to talk with Professor Wang.

"Are you looking for Li Jingsheng, the orthopedic surgeon? Alright, he’s right here."

Though surprised, the child’s father still looked toward Li Jingsheng.

"Professor Wang, the cardiovascular expert from the People’s Hospital, says he wants to know more about the child’s condition from you!"

He handed the phone to Li Jingsheng, and his speech became much more polite.

"Old Wang, what aspect of the child’s condition do you want to know?"

The moment Li Jingsheng took the call, his first sentence left the other doctors around startled.

The child’s parents almost stumbled in surprise as they supported each other.

Even a fool could tell from the relaxed and casual tone that Li Jingsheng knew this top professor from the People’s Hospital quite well.

What was most unbelievable was that he actually called him Old Wang.

Actually, Li Jingsheng didn’t want to call him that, thinking addressing him as Professor Wang seemed more respectful.

But Wang Weiwei wouldn’t allow it!

He called Li Jingsheng Xiaoli and wanted Li Jingsheng to call him Old Wang. If addressed as Professor Wang, he’d get unhappy.

At first, Li Jingsheng was a bit hesitant to call him that.

But later, as they worked together on research and patient rescues with Professor Luo Binggang from Beijing, they became quite familiar and started becoming more casual.

Director Jin looked at Li Jingsheng with envy, thinking this guy is simply the pinnacle of orthopedic attending physicians.

Even Dean Fu of the entire Second Hospital wouldn’t dare call Professor Wang Weiwei Old Wang.

At a level like Professor Wang Weiwei, his status is extremely high, and his temper can be a bit difficult.

If the relationship isn’t that strong, he wouldn’t even bother with you.

"Your diagnostic skills in Cardiovascular Medicine are not bad, have you already performed the diagnosis?"

Professor Wang Weiwei asked.

"Yes, I have initially diagnosed it. I think the likelihood of the heart issue being caused by encephalitis or intracranial viral infection is higher. Moreover, the child’s condition is progressing beyond expectations. Frankly, catching it early doesn’t guarantee a successful rescue, and now our opinions here are very divided, which is truly anxious."

Li Jingsheng spoke freely with Wang Weiwei.

They were friends in an apprentice-mentor relationship, with a close friendship.

Wang Weiwei is straightforward and doesn’t like beating around the bush.

The more direct the talk, the happier he is.

"Disagreement is normal. You don’t need to take the lead in such situations. If there’s a misdiagnosis, it would be easy to bear the responsibiity." Professor Wang Weiwei was savvy and definitely stood on Li Jingsheng’s side.

He also knew that Li Jingsheng’s title wasn’t high.

How much say does a newly appointed attending have?

If the child cannot be saved, it could easily be blamed on Li Jingsheng.

"In this case, hand the phone to Director Jin from Cardiology, and I’ll talk to him. It’s more appropriate for him to speak about this issue."

Wang Weiwei showed great care for Li Jingsheng.

He considered all aspects for Li Jingsheng.

"Director Jin, please take this call."

Director Jin was overjoyed to be found by Professor Wang to answer the call.

He immediately took the phone, and his stance relaxed.

This was a form of silent respect.

Wang Weiwei has very high prestige in the field of Cardiology, with solid knowledge. Moreover, his clinical skills, interventions, and diagnostics are superb.

Though Director Jin also has a decent level, comparisons between people are unnerving.

"Professor Wang, the child’s condition is complex. I would greatly appreciate your guidance."

Director Jin humbled himself.

"Alright, alright, I know what to do now."

"Goodbye!"

Director Jin waited until the other party hung up before returning the phone to the child’s father.

"Professor Wang advises us not to focus solely on the heart. He said that sending the child to the People’s Hospital would yield a similar result and suggests continuing rescue at the Second Hospital."

Director Jin obviously received instructions from Professor Wang.

"Director Yan, Professor Wang just mentioned that Dr. Li’s diagnostic ability is very strong. Now that the child’s condition is deteriorating rapidly, should we consider conducting a cerebrospinal fluid test immediately?"

"Yes!"

This time, Director Yan did not hesitate and couldn’t listen to Director Luo’s opinion anymore.

That old rascal is too cunning.

And his words are never consistent; one moment he supports heart problems, the next he says the possibility of a subdural hematoma is very high. When something goes wrong, he’s quicker than anyone to shift blame.

Li Jingsheng and Director Jin are more reliable.

They performed a puncture on the child to extract cerebrospinal fluid on the spot.

Subsequently, they had the lab do a serum antibody test.

Speaking of serum antibody testing, the lab at the Second Hospital actually doesn’t have this capability.

Currently, they can only send it to external hospitals for testing.

The Medical University Affiliated Hospital and the People’s Hospital are both partners.

If it’s urgent, generally the results can be out in about two hours.

Now they can only wait patiently.

The child’s rescue efforts have been ongoing, and they’ve already intubated the trachea and are administering pressurized oxygen.

The child is clearly showing signs of respiratory failure.

That’s a very bad signal.

Respiratory failure and heart failure combined almost signal impending death.

After giving his diagnostic opinion, Li Jingsheng was pulled away by Director Hua.

Director Hua is a smart person. Staying here not only delays things but also doesn’t help much. Consultations are usually like this; after giving an opinion, you leave.

In case this child doesn’t make it, staying in the emergency room offers no advantage.

"Xiaoli, not bad! You’ve even gotten so close with Professor Wang Weiwei from the People’s Hospital!"

Director Hua said with a meaningful smile.

"It’s their favor!"

Li Jingsheng never felt he was very impressive, and wouldn’t arrogantly consider himself on the same level as Professor Wang.

"Since we’re close, I’ll speak frankly. The People’s Hospital is a big platform, several levels above our Second Hospital. If you ever plan to develop over there, be sure to give me a heads up in advance. At least let me make some preparations. The Orthopedic Department very much needs you right now, and will likely rely on you even more in the future.

People strive to go higher, water flows to lower places.

Your abilities in all aspects have improved now, and I know it will be hard to retain you.

Of course, I’ll be reluctant to see you go, but if you plan to aim higher, I can’t selfishly stop you."

In the past, Director Hua was only worried about the First Hospital poaching people.

Now seeing Li Jingsheng so familiar with Professor Wang Weiwei from the People’s Hospital, and with Director Lian Tao from the People’s Hospital personally congratulating him at the opening of Li Jingsheng’s new clinic, even sending a flower basket,

This suddenly made Director Hua realize that Li Jingsheng’s relationship with the People’s Hospital is closer than imagined.

Now, as long as Li Jingsheng is willing, the People’s Hospital is surely willing to accept him.

And the treatment offered would definitely not be low.

Don’t be fooled by the abundance of top doctors at the People’s Hospital; there are also very many excellent young doctors, but talents like Li Jingsheng are hard to find even with a lantern.

If Li Jingsheng switches to the People’s Hospital, leveraging the advantages of a large platform, he could potentially become a leader in multiple departments in the future.

He might even aspire to prestigious honors like Young Elite, Outstanding Youth, Yangtze River Scholar, etc.

Judging from Li Jingsheng’s current momentum, as long as he continues to progress, being elected as an academician is just a matter of time.

He may even go global and become one of the world’s top doctors.

Currently, many extremely high-difficulty surgeries cannot be performed by a certain large domestic institution, which claims to do hundreds of thousands of surgeries a year.

But top foreign experts can perform them.

Their specialties are more finely divided.

For example, in cardiac surgery, although domestic development is good, there are still gaps in many fields compared to superpowers and several developed countries.

"Director Hua, there’s no need for you to worry about this at all. I can’t guarantee that I won’t go to the People’s Hospital or other major institutions to develop. But as long as the Second Hospital doesn’t force me out, I probably won’t leave. As for going to other major institutions for medical exchange, this can’t be avoided. I believe the hospital advocates it too. Only through exchange can one continuously improve medical skills and broaden horizons."

Li Jingsheng gave a sincere answer.

The current leadership of the Second Hospital is very friendly to him, but who knows what will happen when a new dean takes office.

For this reason, Li Jingsheng has already started preparing some backup options in secret.

By the time that day comes, he should have spread his wings.

Leaving wouldn’t be a big deal.

"Good!"

Director Hua patted him on the shoulder hard, appearing very satisfied with his response.

Li Jingsheng returned to the chiropractic clinic; realignment for patients goes without saying.

The cultivation of a few students is not neglected either.

He teaches according to their abilities, trying to cultivate their strengths as much as possible.

At around ten forty in the morning, his phone rang.

"Director Hua, what instructions do you have?"

He greeted respectfully.

"Don’t be so serious when you talk to me! You even dare to call an authority in cardiovascular medicine like Professor Wang ’Old Wang,’ can’t you talk to me more casually? I don’t look that scary, do I?"

Director Hua’s voice carried a note of happiness.

It seems there is good news.
