Chapter 283: Terrified Directors, Young Woman with a Stomachache
Doctors with multidisciplinary resuscitation experience are hard to come by.
Basically, in all major hospitals, the only physicians with this capability are found in the Emergency Department and the Intensive Care Medicine Department.
Even within the Emergency Department, many major hospitals have subdivided into various subspecialties to this day. This has led to an increasing scarcity of doctors proficient in whole-department resuscitation.
"Who is Director Zhang referring to? Among the doctors present, it seems there isn't such a person, right?" Director Jiang looked around, causing several directors and deputy chief physicians to get goosebumps.
Everyone is an old comrade with a clear understanding of each other's capabilities and areas of expertise.
The higher the level of an expert, the narrower their field of specialization.
To become an expert, one must first choose one or two areas to focus on. The concept of a generalist expert simply does not exist in this world.
Jack of all trades, master of none.
Those who seem to know a little bit about everything can never become experts. They're just a panacea.
"Indeed, among us directors, there is no one like that, but within the younger generation, isn't Dr. Zhou Can a multidisciplinary talent?" Zhang Bihua revealed the ace up her sleeve.
Upon hearing this, the other doctors reacted even more vehemently.
Several of them were visibly shocked, swiftly speaking out to dissuade her.
"Director Zhang, this is absolutely not possible! Dr. Zhou is indeed excellent, but he is still in the residency phase and lacks the ability to stand on his own. Rescuing critically ill patients is like dancing on the edge of a knife; if you appoint him as the group leader, it will not only endanger him but also all of us."
Director Jiang was terrified.
He had thought Director Zhang was a very steady person, but he didn't expect her to treat the matter so frivolously. Establishing a crisis management team was one thing, but boldly suggesting that a green youngster be put in charge was simply reckless.
"I'm also against this proposal. No matter how excellent the young doctors are, they have limited adaptability to emergencies and psychological endurance. Their clinical resuscitation experience is even more pitiful. This is not a game; once something goes wrong, it could cost a life, and Tu Ya's reputation could be ruined overnight."
Another chief physician voiced his opposition.
"We cannot overly elevate Dr. Zhou simply because he achieved great success in rescuing the child with bronchitis. I don't object to having him join the crisis management team and participate in rescues; the young man does possess certain capabilities and level. But appointing him as the group leader is too risky. Please consider this carefully, Director Zhang."
Director Dai from Pediatrics also spoke up.
Zhou Can saved that sick child, which effectively saved her reputation as well; she felt grateful to him.
If she didn't find Zhang Bihua's proposal utterly absurd, she would never have raised objections.
Faced with everyone's opposition, Director Zhang dared not make an arbitrary decision.
She pondered for a moment before coming up with a compromise.
"Then let's do this: since the crisis management team has just been established and indeed faces many unknown risks and uncertainties, it's wise to be cautious about the choice of team leader. The suggestions just mentioned are all good. To prevent risks, let Director Shi serve as the team leader of the crisis management team tomorrow. Zhou Can will be the deputy team leader. Then we'll add another attending physician to the team; Dr. Pang, you have completed specialized training in the Emergency and Intensive Care Medicine Department and have resuscitation experience; you will temporarily join as a team member."
Zhang Bihua spontaneously designated a temporary team leader and an attending physician-level team member for the crisis management team.
"Agreed!"
Dr. Pang is a female doctor around thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, with rather ordinary looks, but she has an excellent figure. Her skin is also very fair, and with her charming wavy shoulder-length hair, she looks quite appealing to men.
The temperament of a doctor is never too poor.
Especially those from major hospitals.
Such young doctors have at least a bachelor's degree. Nothing else being said, the transformation undergone during four years of university life is sufficient to transform them completely, metamorphosing into a butterfly.
"We also need to pick two more nurses, preferably one surgical nurse."
Having determined the doctor candidates, Director Zhang then proceeded to select nurses for the crisis management team.
Generally, a team with three doctors and two nurses is fully staffed.
"Chen Qingling, you are our exclusive surgical instrument nurse in obstetrics. Starting tomorrow, your primary job will be to be ready at all times to participate in all emergency actions of the crisis team. Ji You, you have worked in Intensive Care Medicine and have ample experience in assisting resuscitations; you will join the crisis team as well."
In one fell swoop, two very outstanding nurses were chosen for the crisis management team.
With this, the group was now fully assembled.
All that remained was for a sudden crisis to test its rescue capabilities.
"From tomorrow on, any patient you admit who is in a critical condition, you must provide immediate rescue or handling. Consulting specialists can continue their rotations unaffected."
Zhang Bihua said to the five members.
This arrangement was indeed quite good.
With the crisis management team, it meant that the consulting specialists no longer had worries behind them.
"If anyone has any good suggestions, they can bring them up now. In summary, we must do everything possible to ensure the successful completion of this expert consultation activity, or at least achieve the expected results."
Then, one after another, they brought up many more suggestions for improvement.
For instance, when encountering difficult cases for consultation, everyone unanimously agreed that they could be discussed on the spot. By bringing together everyone's knowledge and expertise, they could identify the patient's diagnosis on-site as much as possible.
