My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 453 - 205 Tu Ya’s Reform, Treatment of Esophageal Cardia Dilation
Chapter 453: Chapter 205 Tu Ya’s Reform, Treatment of Esophageal Cardia Dilation
Zhou Can secretly wondered, wasn’t Du Leng mixing with Wu Baihe in Neurosurgery?
Why did he switch to General Surgery?
"Without any need for introduction, many of you have already recognized the accomplished young doctor beside me. His name is Du Leng, a graduate of Johns Hopkins University with a doctoral degree. After honing his skills in our Neurosurgery for a year, he is now ready to develop his career in General Surgery. Let’s welcome Dr. Du with a warm round of applause."
Xia Huai’an, the head of the department, led the applause.
The room soon filled with enthusiastic applause.
Zhou Can kept wondering, although the growth cycle in Neurosurgery might be a bit longer, it promised a brighter future than General Surgery. Has Du Leng lost his mind, or what’s going on?
"Please take good care of me in the future! Thank you, everyone!"
After the applause subsided, Du Leng bowed and expressed his gratitude to the crowd.
His courteous demeanor greatly endeared him to everyone.
"Today’s early meeting was called for two reasons: first, to welcome the super talent Dr. Du to our General Surgery team and second, to announce that starting from today, for strategic development purposes, the hospital will integrate General Surgery, Digestive Surgery, and Liver and Gallbladder Surgery. These departments will be divided into multiple medical teams to compete in clinical trials. The top-performing teams will have the opportunity to gain qualifications for the construction of sub-departments."
This news greatly boosted the spirits of the General Surgery doctors.
In recent years, Tuya has been striving for excellence, reforming internal departments, management systems, and the introduction of talents.
To put it plainly, Digestive Surgery is a branch that split from General Surgery specializing in gastrointestinal surgeries.
Liver and Gallbladder Surgery is also a sub-department.
Currently, these two spin-off departments are not faring too well.
The structure of General Surgery also urgently needs optimization.
Hence the need for this reintegration and the construction of sub-departments.
It’s all for the sake of enhancing the competitiveness of the departments.
To truly turn Tuya Hospital into a top-tier hospital with comprehensive strength.
Rather than being mediocre in all aspects as it is now.
Dean Zhu of Tuya, the current dean, is ambitious and is determined to fulfill the grand vision of the previous deans—to build Tuya Hospital into a leading domestic top-tier tertiary hospital.
The reform of the talent structure has begun to show results, with many departments having already replaced staff with new blood, mainly holding postgraduate qualifications or higher.
Those with lower academic qualifications and average medical skills have either retired.
Or they have been transferred to the second or third affiliated hospitals.
Tuya General Hospital has achieved a young and highly educated talent pool.
With this foundation, the next step is to optimize the departments.
For prudence, key departments will maintain the status quo, and General Surgery, which has been underperforming, will be the first experimental department to undergo reform.
This reform actually began seven years ago.
A branch of Digestive Surgery was spun out from General Surgery to specialize in gastrointestinal diseases. Then, three years ago, Liver and Gallbladder Surgery split off.
The results of the experiments were somewhat underwhelming.
This showed that this approach was not advisable.
Not only did the reform not create strong departments, but it also significantly weakened the strength of General Surgery.
The hospital’s current reform plan should have learned from the valuable experiences of the previous two attempts at reform.
Du Leng certainly smelt an opportunity and chose to join General Surgery at this critical juncture, participating in the competition among various teams. He aims to use this departmental reform as a stepping stone to rise quickly.
Normally, even as a doctor with a doctoral degree from overseas, it would be difficult to become a leading figure in a department without seven or eight years.
Because there are not a few doctors with doctoral degrees at Tuya Hospital.
Even if many of them are domestically trained, there is no distinction in academic level between domestic and overseas doctoral degrees.
If there are any differences, they are caused by employers who favor foreign talent over domestic.
At the national policy level, there is no difference between the two.
"Dr. Du, you are free to choose from all medical teams within our department, including the Digestive Surgery and Liver and Gallbladder Surgery teams. Here is an introduction to all team leaders and members of each team."
In General Surgery, including the branched-out Digestive and Liver and Gallbladder Surgeries, there are roughly around 130 doctors.
This doesn’t include those in standardized training or internships.
There are nearly thirty attending physicians and twenty-nine associate chief physicians, with the rest being staff and resident doctors.
It is evident from this that attending and associate chief physicians make up nearly half of the staff.
It’s not that high-ranking titles are easily obtained, but rather that those who stay are at the high or associate high level. Staff doctors, resident doctors, standardized trainees, interns, and visiting scholars are the main workforce. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
If these people cannot advance for a long time or feel that their prospects are bleak, they might switch to other units.
There are also a significant number who change careers or transition into administrative roles.
Being a doctor is truly not something everyone can withstand.
The pressure is immense, the work schedule irregular, and the risks extremely high. Even if you are making a baby with your spouse at night, if you receive a hospital call for an emergency, you must immediately get dressed and rush over, not delaying even a minute.
Because every second counts when saving a patient.
There are countless unseen risks during surgeries, diagnoses, and treatments, a single misstep, and you could be the source of deep regret.
For example, Dr. Xu is the best example.
A single mistake in surgery took him from being a top-tier surgeon to an unknown attending physician in the Emergency Department.
