101: The more gallbladder patients there are, the faster they die in the emergency department!

Chapter 101: The More gallbladder Patients the Emergency Department Receives, the Faster It Dies!

“Hmph!” Wang Gang, lying on the Hospital bed, glared.

Pointing at Director Qiu’s nose, he began to lecture him.

“I respect you by calling you Director, but without that respect, you’re nothing!”

“I came to your Hospital to see a doctor, not to be treated badly.”

“What’s going on, doctor? Once a patient is admitted to your Central Hospital, they don’t even have the right to choose, is that it?”

“What a joke…”

In Wang Gang’s view, these doctors were spoiled by patients, one by one.

There was clearly a better option that could preserve his gallbladder, but now they wouldn’t even allow him to transfer departments. They really thought of themselves as leaders, wanting to control everything… “I’m telling you clearly, Mr. Qiu, today you absolutely must transfer me to another department!”

“Otherwise, I’ll report you to the Health Bureau! Can doctors even restrict a patient’s personal freedom?”

Wang Gang knew clearly that he had already fallen out with the Director of General Surgery.

Even if he were discharged immediately, it would be impossible for him to have surgery under this doctor.

What if the other party did something bad to him? Would his latter half of life still be good… “How dare I restrict a patient’s personal freedom!”

Director Qiu thought, 'This isn't good.' He had been too hasty just now, and his words had caused the patient to misunderstand.

He immediately corrected his attitude and carefully began to explain to the patient.

If this matter really escalated to the Health Bureau, he would be at fault first… “Mr. Wang, I didn’t mean that, you misunderstood.”

“Everyone knows that the General Surgery Department at Central Hospital performing gallbladder surgery is definitely the department with the highest technical skill in all of Long Province.”

“The Emergency Department, in the field of gallbladder, cannot possibly be as professional as our General Surgery.”

“Out of a sense of responsibility to the patient, I firmly disagreed with you transferring to the Emergency Department for treatment.”

After finally managing to smooth over his words,

Director Qiu then looked into the patient’s eyes and said with utmost sincerity,

“If you absolutely insist on preserving your gallbladder, it’s not that I can’t do it here.”

“However, the cost and postoperative complications will be higher than a gallbladder removal surgery…”

To maximize the retention of the patient, Qiu Lixin had to compromise with him.

Although it had been some years since he had performed an open gallbladder stone removal surgery,

he still believed he could handle the operation; it would just be a bit more troublesome.

“Forget it! It’s better if neither of us forces the issue.”

“To be honest, I absolutely will not stay in the General Surgery Department for any surgery!”

Wang Gang resolutely rejected the other party’s proposal, looking at Director Qiu with even a hint of disdain.

What the hell were they doing earlier!

Ever since Wang Gang was admitted to the General Surgery Department ward, the other party had never once mentioned the possibility of preserving his gallbladder.

Instead, he repeatedly emphasized that this type of illness required a complete removal of the gallbladder, spouting nonsense like ‘everyone does it this way’!

Good heavens!

It wasn’t until he explicitly stated his intention to transfer departments, and the other party felt they wouldn’t earn his money,

that they went back on their word and told him that preserving the gallbladder wasn’t impossible!

What kind of talk was this!

Every minute Wang Gang stayed in the General Surgery Department ward was an insult to his intelligence… “Alright then, I hope you don’t regret your decision.”

“I’ll have someone process your transfer paperwork immediately.”

After coldly dropping these words, Director Qiu left the ward with a dark expression.

He had figured it out: the patient, influenced by someone, was acting like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.

Persisting in trying to retain him would only make him more embarrassed!

The department’s performance and bonuses were indeed crucial, but Qiu Lixin hadn't stooped so low as to grovel and resort to unscrupulous means for an ordinary patient… “This is definitely Zhong Xibei’s doing. A perfectly fine patient is stubbornly insisting on transferring to the Emergency Department as if he’s courting death; it would be truly ghostly if no one was behind this!”

“To increase benefits for his own department, Zhong Xibei really resorts to unscrupulous means!”

“But you, damn it, targeting my General Surgery Department, do you really think I, Qiu Lixin, am easy to bully…?”

Back in his office, Director Qiu pondered, and the more he did, the more suspicious it seemed.

Combined with the scene of Yang Dong being forcibly transferred to the Emergency Department, he became even more certain that Zhong Xibei was behind all of this.

The Emergency Department’s despicable method of competition also made Director Qiu determined.

Three days later, using Yang Dong’s matter as leverage, he would definitely ruin the Emergency Department… “Director, it’s bad, Director…”

“Many patients waiting for gallbladder surgery are now clamoring to transfer to the Emergency Department for their operations.”

“They’re also saying that our General Surgery is a black-hearted department, and anyone who has gallbladder surgery here is the biggest fool…”

Director Qiu’s emotions had just calmed down for a moment, and he was about to lie down for a short nap.

However, his subordinate directors and attending physicians successively ran into his office, delivering one bad piece of news after another.

“Damn you, Zhong Xibei, this is trying to dig up my General Surgery Department’s ancestral grave…”

Qiu Lixin cursed loudly, lifted his leg, and was about to head out, preparing to confront the Emergency Department for an explanation.

Poaching one or two patients from his General Surgery Department wouldn’t cause significant damage, and he could endure it and seek revenge in a few days.

But now, in just a short while, almost half of the gallbladder patients were determined to transfer to the Emergency Department.

If these people were really lost, the General Surgery Department would be left with nothing this month.

If this trend wasn't immediately stopped, causing a chain reaction and leading to more General Surgery patients leaving, the General Surgery Department would eventually become a department in name only… “Director, Director, calm down.”

“Going to fight with the Emergency Department now won’t solve the main problem.”

“After all, these patients are actively requesting to transfer to the Emergency Department; we don’t hold the initiative…”

The doctors in the General Surgery Department quickly stopped their Department Director, who looked as if he wanted to kill someone.

With Director Qiu’s bloodshot eyes and cannibalistic demeanor, going to the Emergency Department like this would surely escalate the situation!

“Damn it…”

After being persuaded by his subordinates, Director Qiu, whose mind instantly cleared, cursed once more, then sullenly sat back down on the sofa.

What the subordinate doctor said was not wrong; before finding evidence that the Emergency Department had incited these patients, rashly confronting them would only put himself at a disadvantage.

Zhong Xibei, who was always shameless, could completely deny everything!

“What should I do? Just swallow this indignation…?”

Qiu Lixin slammed his fist hard on the armrest of the leather sofa, his face flushed with anger, and his mind raced, considering the best solution.

Being tough with patients and forcing them to stay in the General Surgery Department was definitely unrealistic.

Wang Gang’s example was right there; it might even hurt General Surgery more!

But to just give these people up, Qiu Lixin could not swallow this indignation no matter what.

These patients were the most important source of performance and bonuses for General Surgery; this was tantamount to digging into his flesh… “Director, I do have a good idea that can perfectly resolve this matter.”

“The more gallbladder patients the Emergency Department receives, the faster they will die…”

An attending physician from General Surgery, after receiving approval from Director Qiu,

began to explain his idea in detail, little by little…
