Chapter 868: Chapter 412: As Expected, a Serious Illness Elevates Status

The General Surgery department is still the strongest department in the Second Hospital.

As the department head and one of the top chief physicians in General Surgery, Director Bi’s status goes without saying.

Many people don’t understand why a department head holds such a high position and has so much power.

The president, vice-presidents, administrative assistants, and office directors, although their positions are high, mostly belong to administrative roles. With the current medical reform, many large hospitals’ vice-presidents are no longer purely administrative roles.

They are also held by some excellent clinical doctors and nurses.

The medical personnel who can reach this level are outstanding talents, belonging to that small group who excel in the industry.

If one day the Second Hospital becomes big, then Director Bi will also take on a vice-president role.

For now, his actual power isn’t less than that of a vice-president.

He has great decision-making power over the department’s medication, equipment, personnel appointments, and medical development plans.

Female pharmaceutical representatives don’t hesitate to exchange their bodies for business, but they don’t bribe ordinary chief physicians; they target someone like Director Bi. Ordinary doctors at most get some extra commission, not worth their sacrifice.

However, there are exceptions to everything.

If a chief physician leads a team independently and that medical team is very powerful, that’s a different story.

Because over 40% of the department’s medication might be used by that medical team.

If they aren’t well served, and don’t use your medications, even a department head can’t help it.

Colleagues are theoretically equals.

Not to mention reaching the level of a team-leading chief physician, even an associate chief physician will be treated with courtesy by the department head.

A department is more like a small kingdom.

A department head needs the support of colleagues to stabilize their throne.

Regular junior doctors have limited say and impact.

Reaching the level of an associate chief physician usually gives you a bit of standing.

As many people say, now they finally can do something.

Director Bi being so compliant to a junior attending doctor surprised his subordinates quite a bit. But everyone also knew Li Jingsheng’s prowess, and naturally, they accepted it.

They all wanted to see what medicine Li Jingsheng was selling in his gourd.

"Director Bi, can you give me a smile?"

After contemplating Director Bi seriously for a moment, Li Jingsheng made another request.

Others’ faces twitched; what exactly did Li Jingsheng want to do?

Directing Director Bi in front of so many people, is that really okay?

But in their minds, the supreme Director Bi actually squeezed out a smile according to his wishes.

For those in leadership, especially after being in high positions for long, smiles gradually disappear.

Or they become a symbol, rather than an emotion.

Director Bi usually bears such great pressure at work that he’s rarely seen smiling. He always has a serious face.

No leader would be frivolous.

"The smile is too stiff, can it be a bit more natural?"

Li Jingsheng took another step further to make a request.

Director Bi tried hard to make his smile more natural. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t smile well, and it looked worse.

"It seems you need to smile more often!"

Li Jingsheng commented informally.

"Can you try swallowing your saliva?"

He made another strange request.

Director Bi swallowed his saliva as requested.

But it looked quite laborious.

Director Bi himself seemed somewhat surprised by this.

"Director Bi, should I go get you some food first?"

A medical student under him asked for instruction.

Because he didn’t know how long Li Jingsheng would take to deal with Director Bi, and it was already a bit late.

He was worried the food at the window would be sold out.

Especially the better dishes, which were very easy to run out of.

"Better not get food for Director Bi now; he probably can’t eat at the moment."

Li Jingsheng directly made the decision for Director Bi.

In the hospital, one must listen to the doctor.

At this moment, in his eyes, Director Bi was just another patient of his.

"I suggest you measure your blood pressure right now and get a cranial CT scan."

Li Jingsheng said very seriously.

"Oh no, I was in such a hurry to the hospital for rounds this morning that I forgot to take my antihypertensive medication."

Director Bi’s face slightly changed upon hearing this.

His heart was flustered, and his facial color change was very noticeable, with a frightening hint of dark red.

"Don’t get excited, don’t get excited. Make sure you remain calm. Stay calm, breathe naturally. Hurry and get a transfer bed, and bring a blood pressure monitor. Then use the green channel to have the imaging room quickly perform a cranial CT scan for Director Bi."

Li Jingsheng held Director Bi firmly.

The person who was just fine suddenly fell ill.

This left all the doctors dumbfounded.

Even Ou Qinglan was gazing at her boyfriend with starry eyes. She was too admiring of her boyfriend’s medical skills.

This kind of skill is truly not something an ordinary person can possess.

"Hurry, go push a transfer bed!"

Two young medical students, seeing that the teacher’s condition was not good, knew that even if they were dumb, this was a chance to prove themselves and show their loyalty.

They immediately rushed to find a transfer bed.

In the inpatient department, outside the operating room, and at the outpatient clinic, transfer beds are relatively easy to find.

Wheelchairs are also generally easy to find.

The hospital itself would provide some to facilitate patient movement.

Sometimes, after some patients recover or no longer need them, wheelchairs left at the hospital will be placed by healthcare workers in places like the outpatient stairwell for the convenience of other patients.
