My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1585 - 644: One Hero Needs Three Helpers, Director Lou’s Struggle_2

Dean Gao’s gaze swept over the crowd below.

Vice Dean Qin, Director Liu Shiqiu from the Hospital Infection Control Office, and Zhou Can stood up.

All eyes were on these three.

Being named and criticized in a meeting is certainly not a good thing.

"How are the three of you conducting your work? Poor leadership, lack of oversight, frequent accidents, are you only enforcing the law for the sake of enforcing it? I am hereby officially suspending your leadership roles in the Quality Control Office. After this meeting, conduct a thorough self-examination and submit your report to my office within three days."

So ruthless.

Bear in mind, Vice Dean Qin is a hospital-level leader.

To criticize so harshly in public is quite damaging to one’s reputation.

However, this is how the system works. The dean is like the class leader of the leadership team, with absolute authority.

Although Vice Dean Qin is only half a rank below Dean Gao, he had no strength to resist being pushed down.

"The daily leadership of the first team of the Quality Control Office will be temporarily taken over by my special assistant, Han Cheng." Dean Gao was openly establishing authority by leveraging Vice Dean Qin’s position and promoting his confidants.

His methods were very seasoned.

His intention was very clear: I’m even willing to handle hospital-level leaders, so you better behave. Whoever dares to oppose me should weigh their actions carefully.

"Dean Gao, suspending all three at the same time might not be conducive to the stability of our work. I can’t speak for the others, but Deputy Team Leader Zhou Can has always been very diligent and steadfast in his work. In terms of the first team’s operations and technical appraisals, he is definitely a key player."

Vice Dean Bai was one of the deputy directors of the Quality Control Office.

No one expected him to be the first to stand up and speak for Zhou Can.

This was quite a significant pressure.

After all, anyone could see that Dean Gao was setting his authority as the new official.

"I also believe that Deputy Director Zhou Can has done an excellent job. The feedback from various clinical departments, patients, and their families has all been very positive."

Vice Director Ye watched Zhou Can develop from the very start.

Seeing Dean Gao suppress Zhou Can, he also stepped up to speak out.

No one could tell whether Zhou Can was just collateral damage or if Dean Gao intended to suppress Vice Dean Qin, Zhou Can, and Director Liu Shiqiu from the beginning.

It was like in ancient times, when the emperor wanted to punish a minister—if the minister had loyal friends, they would stand up to plead on his behalf at critical moments.

Never underestimate such support.

Having someone plead for mercy at a critical moment could result in a lighter punishment rather than execution.

Without anyone speaking on their behalf, one could only be dragged away by guards wielding blades, crying out, "Your Majesty, I’m innocent, I’m innocent..." and then face execution or imprisonment.

Once things are set in motion, it’s very difficult to reverse them.

Dean Gao gave Vice Dean Bai and Vice Director Ye a surprised glance, finally decided not to insist on his original plan, and used Zhou Can’s case as an excuse to step back.

"Oh, it seems Deputy Director Zhou Can’s reputation is quite good! I’ve only been here for a short while, and may not fully understand some details. Given that two vice deans have confirmed Zhou Can’s commendable work, I conclude that it couldn’t be too poor. Therefore, Zhou Can will maintain his current position without the need for suspension or a written review."

Dean Gao’s primary aim was likely to remove Vice Dean Qin.

"Thank you to the hospital leadership for acknowledging my work. I will certainly continue to diligently fulfill my responsibilities."

After expressing thanks, Zhou Can sat down.

No one pleaded for Vice Dean Qin and Director Liu Shiqiu, so after standing there with defeated expressions, they too took their seats.

But anyone could imagine that their lives would be hard from now on.

"Now, let’s discuss the second matter, which is a task left unfinished by the former dean and entrusted to me to complete. Our Tuya Hospital, after development, has joined the ranks of top-rated hospitals in the province, even achieving a good ranking nationwide. To meet future competition and challenges, the leadership team also needs to keep pace with the times and make structural adjustments.

It is proposed to add a vice dean to each of the major departments, based on the current hospital-level leadership structure..."

This matter was finally coming to fruition.

Dean Zhu had also worked on it during his tenure, perhaps thinking about his upcoming retirement and seeking stability, but the matter remained unresolved.

Promoting a major department director to vice dean is not as simple as it appears.

Such adjustments in administrative structure involve moving people around—one role leads to another.

If a major department director becomes a vice dean, then department heads and vice directors must also be promoted accordingly.

Failing to do so would likely cause a public outcry.

Benefits should be shared, not monopolized.

Upon taking office, Dean Gao probably wanted to achieve some notable accomplishments as well. The healthcare business achievements were already impressive. Further significant gains in the short term would be almost impossible.

As a result, he had to find solutions in other areas.

The easiest place to begin was adjusting the leadership team structure.

Completing a significant task that the previous dean couldn’t finish would earn praise and approval from higher-ups. Promoting major department directors to vice deans would be a major achievement in hospital reform.

Of course, Dean Gao would not miss such ’great achievements.’

Moreover, Vice Director Ye and Vice Dean Bai’s interference in his decision earlier must have felt like a thorn in his side for someone with such a strong desire for power.

What to do about it?

Simply put, promote each major department’s director to vice dean, thereby dispersing the power of people like Vice Director Ye.

At that point, his position as the new dean would be more secure.

His power would also be greater.

After a round of discussions, the on-site vote passed with an approval rate close to 100%.

It seemed everyone was keen on promotion.

"Since over 97% agreed with this leadership structure adjustment plan, I’ll now announce the election procedure. Each major department will serve as a unit, with anonymous voting, one vote per person, to elect a vice dean for each major department. In principle, the original department head holds priority. But in the spirit of fairness, the final decision will be based on who receives the most votes."

...

Dean Gao announced a series of election rules.

"Dean Gao, your proposed adjustment to the hospital leadership structure is excellent, timely, scientific, and reasonable. I’d like to take this opportunity to make a request to you."

Director Lou stood up and lavished praise on Dean Gao.

"Please go ahead, Director Lou!"

Dean Gao’s face showed a slight smile.

Nothings flatters better than flattery itself.

Director Lou publicly complimenting Dean Gao was seen as a gesture of loyalty in the dean’s eyes.

His heart was naturally pleased.

"In recent years, our Emergency Department has achieved some modest development, with all of our operations thriving and performing well. To align with your leadership, I humbly request your approval for our Emergency Department to set up several sub-departments similar to the General Surgery Department. This would facilitate faster and more efficient doctor selection for patients seeking care, improve the quality of care and rescue success rates, and allow Emergency Department healthcare staff to focus on specific areas to enhance their professional expertise.

If under your leadership, our Emergency Department develops better, it would visibly reflect your exceptional leadership capabilities."

The flattery from Director Lou was certainly not for nothing.

He’s been wanting to do this for a long time but has been unable to get it done.

Now he’s seizing the opportunity for one final push.

After listening, Dean Gao thought for a few seconds.

His eyes brightened slightly.

"The Emergency Department is a flagship aspect of our hospital, and developing it is an unshirkable responsibility for every dean. Since Director Lou has such determination and will, I strongly support this initiative. Please draft a concrete plan and submit it to my office. Once the resolution is passed, it can be implemented."

Although Dean Gao holds a very high position, he cannot dictate every decision unilaterally.

Certain matters must still be voted on and approved by the leadership team.

This is also a necessary procedure.

Zhou Can’s face showed little reaction, but internally he sighed slightly. Director Lou’s desire to expand and improve the Emergency Department had always been strong.

Now that he and Dean Gao are united, it’s uncertain whether this will be good or bad.

They feared that bargaining with the tiger might lead to unpredictable results.
