Chapter 178 Inspirational Brother
The sudden change in the direction of public opinion caught the hospital leaders by surprise, and the decision to fire Zhang Lin was naturally shaken.
When Dean Xia came back, he visited Dr. Li Shan, sent a flower basket and condolence money, and told Dr. Li to take good care of his body and not be mentally burdened. This kind of thing was an accident and should not affect his confidence in practicing medicine. He showed that the hospital was her strong backing at all times. Then he reassured Li Shan that the hospital would handle Zhang Lin's matter as appropriate, and reassured her that it would be fair and would not act rashly.
Dean Xia held a special meeting and said with emotion at the meeting: "Everyone looks at the problem from different angles. There is no right or wrong. I want to say that if Zhang Lin were replaced by me, I would also be impulsive. He beat The patient's family members violate the law and hospital discipline and must be punished. However, we must deal with this matter on an individual basis and analyze the specific matters in detail. If they are dismissed, it is too serious and it is not a crime, nor is it a vicious medical malpractice. , a hasty dismissal may ruin this child's life, and it will also have a bad impact on the professional outlook of other young doctors. Public opinion is like a gust of wind. You see, yesterday it was a west wind, today it is an east wind, and yesterday it was all condemnation. The doctor who beats people is blaming the patient's family again today. Therefore, public opinion is like a blower. Wherever you put it, it will blow in that direction. But there is nothing we can do about it, and we have to ask. Public opinion bows, and so do the superior authorities, who all have difficulties. I think so, based on the principle of avoiding past mistakes and saving lives, Dr. Zhang Lin must be punished. He has made mistakes, but we must also protect our young comrades. His mistakes are not As for expelling him from our team, let's do this. There is no pressure from public opinion now, and our decision can be more sincere. How about a fine! Three months' basic salary, and then the whole hospital will be criticized."
"This is the most reasonable, I agree!" Director Han said, and several other department directors also agreed.
Dean Sun still wanted to insist: "Dean Xia, such a light punishment is equivalent to giving some kind of hint and encouragement. Everyone will be like this in the future. If you feel aggrieved, you will take action. That's okay. We can't deal with fights every day." Something?”
"Yes! If we don't kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, I'm afraid it will be difficult to manage in the future?" Another vice-dean was also dissatisfied with the decision.
Dean Xia waved his hand: "They are all medical staff, not chickens or monkeys; this is not a little grievance, it is a huge grievance; Zhang Lin's incident is an individual case, an extremely special case, and others cannot imitate it even if they want to. , after all, there are only a few people who have the courage to take action. Old Sun, aren't you talking about the pressure of public opinion? Nowadays, people call the hospital every day to ask about Zhang Lin's punishment. Pressure.”
Dean Sun still wanted to object, but he couldn't find a reason. What's the matter? Hey, forget it, forget it, but I, Old Sun, have become a different person inside and outside.
"Okay! Agreed." Dean Sun was a little discouraged. The other vice-deans saw that Dean Xia was very insistent and could not object.
Dean Xia said earnestly: "We have been discussing how to punish Zhang Lin, but we have forgotten Li Shan. She is the victim of the whole thing. We have to discuss how to protect Dr. Li's dignity and rights. This time it is Zhang Lin used extreme methods to protect Dr. Li's dignity and rights. If something like this happens in the future, will the doctor himself or his family use extreme methods to defend his rights? What should we do? Is it better to protect our own doctors and resolutely resist evil practices? Or is it to calm down the situation and completely disregard the doctor's personal dignity and interests? The victim of this incident is not Dr. Li alone, but all the doctors and nurses in the hospital are victims! Let's reflect on this issue, including myself. ”
Zhang Lin's punishment was settled like this. He was fined three months' basic salary and criticized by the whole hospital. At the same time, Dr. Li was beaten by his family members without any fault in the diagnosis and treatment process. In addition to the apology and compensation due to the family members of the beating, the hospital gave him one month of paid leave, three months of basic salary plus the average bonus of the entire hospital.
Five days passed quickly. On Saturday afternoon, Yang Ping took everyone to pick up Zhang Lin and started working normally. This incident finally passed smoothly.
——
Professor Su had been busy all morning and had just sat down in the office, ready to take a rest.
Su Nanchen took the consultation application form and asked Professor Su to sign it. Professor Su looked at it and said: "It is difficult to admit the excellence of others. Sometimes it is harder than admitting your own shortcomings, but you did it."
"His surgery is indeed beautiful. It can be said that he is better than Professor Ye and even better than Professor Robert. This patient should be operated by him. The patient is only twenty years old and has a long career. And the patient very much agrees with me. My suggestion is to ask Dr. Yang to do the surgery." Su Nanchen stood next to Professor Su.
Professor Su picked up the pen and signed his name without hesitation: "Congratulations, you have met such a good friend, you can be a lifelong mentor. When will the surgery be, let me know and I will go and have a look."
"I made an appointment with him on Thursday morning." Su Nanchen said.
"Come here, Nanchen!" Su Nanchen approached Professor Su.
Professor Su opened the patient's MRI film on the computer: "Look, for this quadruple junction injury, stability is the core of the operation. It requires not only static stability, but also dynamic stability. He is a football player and a forward. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the strength of the reconstructed ligaments. The operation is very difficult. Even at the New York Hospital for Special Surgery, the failure rate of this type of operation for professional athletes is very high.”
"I believe there is nothing wrong with him!" Su Nanchen was very confident, and his confidence came from seeing it with his own eyes.
"Yeah!" Professor Su never doubted his son's judgment, and the person who could convince him must be extraordinary.
"It's just that Professor Guan is a little unhappy. Originally, both patients wanted to ask Professor Ye to do it, but for this patient I asked Dr. Yang."
"It doesn't matter. I've already told him. This is what I mean. We need to learn from the experiences of different people." Professor Su told Su Nanchen that there was no need to worry.
"If this operation is successful, let him perform the surgery on the Achilles tendon shortening. Both operations require extremely rich experience and superb surgical skills. The Achilles tendon shortening operation seems simple, but in fact The difficulty is very high, and they are all top-notch surgeries in the world," Professor Su suggested.
Someone knocked on the door: "Uncle Su!"
Su Nanchen turned around: "Lin Hao! Are you going to work so soon? Why don't you take a few more days off?"
Lin Hao was Su Nanchen's classmate at Xiehe University. The two went to study at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York at the same time. Su Nanchen only stayed for one year, and he stayed for three years. "Lin Hao, would you like to take a look at this patient? What new developments are there in this type of surgery at the New York Hospital for Special Surgery?" Professor Su turned the computer screen.
"Is this the football player with a quadruple knee injury?"
"Yes!"
"Shouldn't you ask Professor Ye to do this? There is no new progress in the United States at present. This kind of reconstruction surgery is not very stable in the end, and the balance is too difficult to master. Dr. Robert has done more research in this area, and Nan Chen is familiar with it. . Now there is an NBA player who has a quadruple injury and a patella. The hip joint is unstable. I was diagnosed and treated by Dr. Robert. After evaluation, he believed that the failure rate was too high and he was not sure. He has not come up with a surgical plan for a long time. This is the crown jewel of sports medicine surgery. When will it be done? I will also learn from Professor Ye. "Lin Hao is very interested. Everyone is interested in this kind of surgery."
"I'll ask Dr. Yang from Sanbo to treat this patient!" Su Nanchen said.
"Sanbo? Dr. Yang?" The hospital is not well-known, and this person is even less famous.
Is there anything I don’t know about the doctor who can perform this surgery? Lin Hao was a little surprised.
"I'll do it this Thursday morning!" Su Nanchen said.
"Professor Ye's surgery is also on Thursday morning. Why don't you ask Professor Ye to do it together? He is very busy? There is no time for two surgeries?" Lin Hao was very puzzled.
Su Nanchen couldn't explain it clearly and said, "Yes, Professor Ye is too busy."
"Isn't that true?" Lin Hao was confused.
"Nan Chen, you go back from get off work first. I have to go back later because I have something else to do." Professor Su became busy again.
Su Nanchen went to the ward to see this patient with a quadruple knee injury. He was twenty years old, a football player, a rare capable player, and the main player of the Nandu team. He was doing push-ups with his legs on the edge of the bed.
"Dr. Su!" The little brother quickly stopped doing push-ups.
"Professor Su has agreed to ask Dr. Yang to perform the surgery." Su Nanchen told him.
The little brother made a victory gesture: "Awesome!"
Professional athletes like him are generally willing to hire well-known experts like Professor Ye, but rarely agree to hire young doctors like Yang Ping.
Before Su Nanchen made this decision, he revised the draft of the plan that persuaded him several times in his mind. Unexpectedly, he agreed with just a few words.
"I really want to know that you agreed to my suggestion so readily and easily, and asked an unknown young doctor to perform the surgery instead of being obsessed with Professor Ye?" Su Nanchen also wanted to know the answer.
The little brother stretched out a finger and shook it: "You are wrong. Since he can get your recommendation, how can he not be famous? It's just that his fame is temporarily limited to a small professional circle. Between Professor Ye and him, do you choose He is so young, which shows that he is a young genius. No one will recommend a young man who is not famous enough to take on important tasks, unless the young man has extraordinary talents and excellence."
"This is the current crown surgery in sports medicine! The failure rate of the surgery is very high, no matter who does it." Su Nanchen felt that he was too optimistic.
"I fell in love with football when I was six years old, but when I was fourteen years old, I was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer. At that time, I thought the sky was falling, but it was not. Later, I went to the hospital for radiotherapy and chemotherapy until There is no recurrence now. My body was very weak after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but I changed it and returned to the competition. When I was eighteen years old, I had a car accident and suffered multiple fractures all over my body, including more than ten ribs, upper and lower limbs, and pelvis. , all had fractures. After the operation, I almost became a robot. The steel plate in the pelvis is still there. It was difficult to even walk at that time, but I firmly believed that I could return to the game. I did it again; this time multiple ligaments in the knee joint were ruptured. Many doctors say, give up. I also know that there are some things you have to give up, but it’s not time to give up yet. I believe that hard work can change everything." The younger brother said with a smile.
"You have to know that some things can be achieved without hard work!" Su Nanchen had to lower his expectations.
The little brother said: "I understand that as long as there is 1% hope, I will try my best 200%."
