Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic

Chapter 498: Chapter 233: Faking an Accident, Give Me a Chance to Make Merits

This kind of medical skill competition is organized by the governing body almost every two to three years.

It greatly helps in enhancing the medical skills of the city’s hospitals.

When doing anything, there’s a fear of working behind closed doors without outside input.

If a country isolates itself, it becomes backward and vulnerable. Similarly, if hospital doctors don’t communicate with the outside world and don’t learn new techniques, they will gradually be eliminated.

The Second Hospital only excels in General Surgery.

Currently, bone setting techniques stand out and temporarily have no match in the city.

If they can achieve good rankings in the competition, it would greatly benefit the reputation of the departments and hospital.

"To be honest, we do have many excellent doctors in General Surgery, but there are very few truly outstanding young doctors. In recent years, I’ve felt it’s becoming increasingly difficult for our Second Hospital to attract real elite talent. The talents we do recruit often come with only academic qualifications but lack practical ability, making clinical practice frustrating. This indicates our hospital is on a decline!"

Director Bi’s tone was full of worry.

How can an egg remain intact under a toppled nest?

The Second Hospital is like the setting sun, declining and unstoppable.

For any hospital, talent is the core competitiveness.

But if capable young doctors are unwilling to join, the hospital’s level will definitely deteriorate.

"The dean certainly feels it too. Despite efforts to take some positive measures to remedy, the effects haven’t been good. Now medical students entering the workforce have formed two peculiar phenomena: one large group who have abilities go abroad to practice as long as they have at least a bachelor’s degree. The remaining talented individuals squeeze into the top tier hospitals. People’s Hospital, Qiaobang Hospital, recruit several resident trainees each year, akin to going to war, with applicants numbering in the thousands to tens of thousands.

They completely have the opportunity to select the best of the best.

And us? We are left picking among the leftovers, and if we happen to recruit someone with outstanding potential, it’s like finding treasure.

Now it has become a situation where the strong get stronger, and the weak get weaker, it’s tough!"

Director Hua also shook his head and sighed.

In the face of such a general trend, an individual’s strength is truly insignificant.

"Our Second Hospital is slightly better off, at least the dean is very wise and bold. For example, three years ago, he realized that academic qualifications alone couldn’t cure patients, and in recruitment, we proactively changed strategies to prioritize hiring capable and morally upright doctors and nurses. The implementation of this strategy seems to be somewhat effective now. According to statistical data, our hospital has started to surpass the First Hospital."

Director Bi’s eyes finally had a hint of a smile as he spoke about this matter.

The First Hospital is the leader among the hospitals in the region, with the deepest roots and the most profound heritage.

Now the Second Hospital has surpassed it.

This fills all the medical staff at the Second Hospital with excitement.

"The dean’s talent introduction strategy indeed shows far-sightedness. Unfortunately, there are still too few true elite talents, all taken by the top tier hospitals." Director Hua remained relatively pessimistic.

The top tier hospitals recruit only the best, and they have the advantages of funding, patient volume, and technological strength in many aspects.

Recruiting the best while already being at the top level, how can ordinary tertiary hospitals compete?

They can only be crushed, becoming increasingly inadequate.

"Director Hua, oh Director Hua, what can I say about you? Don’t always underestimate your own potential! Don’t you think this skill competition is an opportunity?"

Director Bi said.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Think about it, if the doctors we send to the competition can achieve top rankings, wouldn’t that attract elite talent to join us? At the very least, it could let other medical students know that our Second Hospital also has the ability to cultivate top-notch young doctors." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

After Director Bi’s explanation, Director Hua’s eyes lit up.

"Yes, why didn’t I think of that? It seems I was too self-conscious, feeling that our hospital is too far behind those top-tier hospitals. I didn’t dare to think about challenging them. In our Orthopedics, I dare not speak for other projects, but in bone setting, we definitely have hope of taking first place."

Director Hua said with a smile.

"See, you revealed yourself, didn’t you? No wonder I use two Ouyang Chengs to exchange for your Xiaolizi, and you still wouldn’t agree."

As the two chatted, the surgery on the other side had already been completed.

Ou Qinglan’s suturing was very slow, so while others had already finished closing the abdominal cavity, she was still not finished.

Fortunately, Li Jingsheng was standing by her side guiding her.

Tying knots was mostly done by Li Jingsheng.

The two attending specialists came over to check, and there was no problem.

"Hmm, not bad. Everyone worked hard, it’s time to get off work! Those on duty, don’t leave!"

Director Bi said to the medical staff.

Many surgeons do not specialize in performing surgeries in the operating room.

After completing the surgery on a patient they are following, doctors often need to return to the inpatient ward for duty.

Li Jingsheng doesn’t need to work overtime and never has duty shifts.

So these issues don’t exist.

He took Ou Qinglan back to the clinic to continue teaching her knotting and suturing techniques without further mention.

...

After four days of this, Li Jingsheng had already received his attending appointment at the Second Hospital.

Meanwhile, Manipulative Reduction Clinic Room 2 was under preparation, and unless there were unexpected issues, it would be ready to open next week.

This is good news for patients.

Having two Manipulative Reduction Clinic Rooms allows patients to wait for shorter periods.
