My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1196: 472: The Third Hospital’s Ruthless Move, No. 0 Conference Room_3

Additionally, the open strategy Zhou Can had shared with Director Xue Yan previously was now being put into practice by her.

Slowly but surely, damaging gossip about the Third Hospital started spreading through online forums and urban chatter. One key incident highlighted was that of an infant battling acute heart failure. Whispers suggested the Third Hospital mishandled the procedure, practically abandoning hope, whereas the Cardiothoracic Surgery unit at Tuya Hospital fully restored the child's health.

This revelation ignited a tremendous backlash.

Beyond this one bungled operation, the Third Hospital faced a slew of additional scandals.

Those patients and relatives harmed by negligence rallied to expose the Third Hospital's hollow fame. Individuals grieving over deaths from botched surgeries or enduring lasting damage vented their outrage via online posts and footage, unveiling the shadowy practices inside the Third Hospital.

True to the adage, when walls tumble, all join in the topple; events were aligning precisely so.

Tuya Hospital had endured a comparable storm before. Thankfully, Director Xue Yan's toughness enabled her rebound. Bolstered by Tuya's support, the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department held firm.

The way of heaven balances accounts, with fortunes wheeling back around.

The spotlight of scrutiny now falls on the Third Hospital.

…

That afternoon, moments after clocking out, Zhou Can got an urgent summons from Director Lou to head straight to a conference in the hospital's Room 0.

Through his years at Tuya Hospital, Zhou Can had never encountered mention of such a location.

Tailing Director Lou silently, he refrained from probing questions during the walk.

Director Lou wore a grave look the entire time.

Before long, they approached the hospital's administrative structure, patrolled by guards nonstop. During his intern days, when Zhou Can delivered files here on a couple of instances, his mentor had insisted on showing deference to the building's sentinels.

Then, he felt confused about it.

Aren't they simply hospital watchmen? As folks say, uniformed guards occupy the bottom rung.

Later, gaining deeper insight from hospital life, he grasped the underlying depths. Even minor guard roles carried hidden layers. The protectors at the administrative edifice were mostly tied to powerful networks.

Luckily, though clueless back then, he honored the wisdom from elders.

He consistently treated the administrative guards with respect.

Presently, in Director Lou's company, this visit to the administrative building was far from Zhou Can's debut.

Owing to assorted issues, he'd frequented the place repeatedly.

Twice, he'd even sparked commotions in the hospital's offices.

Life's voyage holds endless surprises. In his intern phase, figures in the administrative building inspired his reverence. These days, his standing has elevated. Guards no longer intimidate him, nor do routine workers unsettle his poise.

Curiously, Director Lou bypassed the upper levels, steering instead via the staircase to the hallway at the administrative building's back.

This steel barrier remained sealed around the clock, overseen by specialized watchmen.

Zhou Can remained ignorant of its interior secrets.

He speculated it could house living quarters for elite figures such as the chief director. However, tales of the director residing within the premises were unheard of.

Beyond chief directors, vice directors or departmental doctors and staff seldom occupied on-site lodging.

“Hello, I’m Lou Jingshan, the head of the Emergency Department, and this is Doctor Zhou Can. We’ve received a notification to attend a meeting here.”

It was only at this point that Director Lou revealed their objective.

He displayed exceptional civility toward the sentry in the control booth.

“Please register your ID and visitation information, then store all personal belongings except your clothes in the locker,” the security handed the register to them.
