129: Ten patients in half an hour, even hemorrhoidectomy is not that fast!

Chapter 129 Half an Hour, Ten Patients—Even Hemorrhoid Surgery Isn't This Fast!

"The Medical Affairs Department is investigating Lin Yi?"

Qiu Lixin's eyebrows shot up, but after a moment's thought, he quickly deflated.

"Damn formalism!"

"With Director Cui protecting Lin Yi, how much trouble can the Medical Affairs Department really stir up?"

"Aren't they just putting on a show to stop us from gossiping?"

It was an obvious matter, so how could it escape Qiu Lixin's discerning eye?

If the Hospital truly wanted to deal with Lin Yi, they should have acted immediately when he and Director Bai went to them.

Being wise after the event, wasn't this clearly just a show to shut them up? "Teacher, it's the Medical Administration Department of the Provincial Health Department, not the Medical Affairs Department of Central Hospital!"

"Director Cui is currently accompanying Director Ning Yumei of the Medical Administration Department, investigating in the Emergency Department."

Seeing that Director Qiu had clearly mistaken the department, Liu Chaoran emphasized and explained again.

"The Medical Administration Department? Are you sure Director Ning personally came to investigate?"

Qiu Lixin's eyes gleamed with renewed brilliance as he stared at his student, nervously reconfirming.

"Of course I'm sure, Teacher."

"When Director Ning was still a Deputy Director, she came to our department to inspect the Pancreas."

"You took me with you to do the inspection then; how could I possibly remember it wrong!"

Liu Chaoran was very certain of his statement.

He might misremember ordinary patients, but how could he misremember the Director of the Medical Administration Department?

The promotion of doctors' titles, and even the determination of medical accidents, are all closely related to this department... "I see. Then do you know why the Medical Administration Department is here to investigate Lin Yi?"

Suppressing his excitement, Qiu Lixin pressed for more information.

Only by clearly understanding the whole story could he prescribe the right remedy... "I heard the Nurses in the Emergency Department discussing that Yamamoto seems to have reported Lin Yi to the Health Department."

"Director Ning's intention is that the person involved must be severely punished, otherwise, it is very likely to cause a negative international impact."

"Refusing to treat a patient can even affect international relations? It will be hard for Lin Yi not to become famous this time!"

While explaining the reason, Liu Chaoran inexplicably mumbled something.

"What are you still standing around for? Come with me to the Emergency Department immediately."

"Remember to bring Yamamoto's medical records. As doctors, we have a responsibility to restore the truth of the patient's treatment process."

Qiu Lixin shouted excitedly, swinging his arms as he left the office.

If he couldn't put the annoying Lin Yi to death this time, he, the Department Director, might as well just crash and die.

"Should I call old Bai too?"

"Forget it, that old fellow's haughty demeanor is just asking for a beating!"

On the way to the Emergency Department, the idea of calling his teammate Bai Ji had just emerged when Qiu Lixin immediately squashed it.

Although they were also in a cooperative relationship, comrades on the same front, Qiu Lixin always felt that Bai Ji had a barrier between them, and the two could not truly confide in each other.

If he managed to get rid of Lin Yi by himself, he really wanted to see what kind of wonderful expression The Bai fellow would have then.

"Where are Director Cui and Director Ning? I have something important to discuss with them."

After searching around the Emergency Department and not seeing any trace of Director Cui and Director Ning, or even a single doctor in charge of the Emergency Department, Qiu Lixin had no choice but to stop a Nurse and ask.

"The Director is in the operating room!"

After the Nurse curtly dropped a phrase, she rolled her eyes at Director Qiu and turned to leave.

This Department Director, who often caused trouble for Dr. Lin, had already been placed on the most unfriendly blacklist by all the medical staff in the Emergency Department.

If it weren't for his position, which she, a junior Nurse, couldn't afford to offend, she wouldn't even bother to say another word to him.

"Hey!"

"What kind of attitude is this? Does the Emergency Department have no rules anymore!"

"I must tell Zhong Xibei to thoroughly rectify the service awareness of the Emergency Department..."

Watching the Nurse's departing back, Qiu Lixin almost died of anger.

Although medical and nursing staff were managed on two separate lines, the Emergency Department indeed didn't need to defer to General Surgery.

But as the Department Director of a key department in the Hospital, he was at least a mid-to-high-level manager of the Hospital, wasn't he? Where had the basic respect from ordinary employees gone? How dare she roll her eyes at him?

"A black sheep like Lin Yi must be removed from the pure Medical Team."

"Ever since this guy came to the Central Hospital Emergency Department, the overall quality of the medical staff has significantly declined!"

The furious Director Qiu muttered a few angry words before rushing to the Emergency Department operating room.

Stating his attitude was enough; if he were to truly quibble with a mere Nurse, he, a dignified Department Director, couldn't afford to lose face.

But this score, he absolutely had to settle it with Lin Yi.

"Get out!"

"This is a critical surgical area; unauthorized personnel are not allowed!"

Nurse Yang Yu, who had just sent a patient out, saw Director Qiu of General Surgery trying to enter the operating room by taking advantage of the opening door.

She immediately blocked the operating room door and sternly reprimanded him.

"What the heck!"

Director Qiu's eyes widened, and he was a bit slow to react.

"You dare to stop me?"

"Don't you recognize Qiu Lixin, Director of General Surgery!"

Director Qiu pointed at his name tag and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Being stopped outside the operating room by a Nurse from his own Hospital, and being told so formally that unauthorized personnel were not allowed, was a complete disgrace.

Even if this Nurse was new, she couldn't be so ignorant as to be illiterate, could she?

Moreover, he felt that this young Nurse looked familiar; she absolutely couldn't not recognize him.

"Director Qiu, there's no need to shout so loudly. I'm just following the Hospital's rules and regulations."

"Without the approval of the Hospital or our Director Zhong, non-Emergency Department medical staff are not allowed to enter the Emergency Department operating room!"

"If I were to run to the General Surgery operating room now, I doubt anyone would let me in, would they?"

Yang Yu was not at all intimidated by Director Qiu's arrogance; instead, she brought out the Hospital's rules and regulations and explained coldly.

The longer she worked with Lin Yi, the more she looked down on this Department Director who always looked for trouble.

"You... how can you compare yourself to me!"

Qiu Lixin was so angry that he stammered. A mere Nurse dared to compare herself to him, a Department Director.

In the entire Central Hospital, he had never encountered such an odd situation before!

Ever since Lin Yi joined the Emergency Department, the once proper Emergency Department had become increasingly unreliable.

"Director Qiu, getting angry is useless!"

"If you want to enter our Emergency Department operating room, I advise you to make a call quickly."

"As long as Director Cui or Director Zhong approves, I will not stop you."

Yang Yu was purely enjoying the show, not minding the trouble. Both leaders were busy in the operating room, working non-stop. If this great Director could get in touch with them, that would be a miracle.

"You just wait..."

After leaving a harsh remark, Qiu Lixin hurriedly made a call.

What else could he do? After all, the Nurse was just following the rules.

It was just that these rules and regulations seemed to have never applied to the Department Directors of various departments.

However, no matter how many times he dialed, several batches of patients from the Emergency Department operating room had already been pushed out, but Director Qiu still couldn't get in touch with the people he needed to.

"Something's not right! Very not right..."

When he saw the tenth patient being pushed out of the Emergency Department operating room, Qiu Lixin finally realized that something was very wrong.

"Liu Chaoran, how many operating rooms does the Emergency Department have?"

"Five, Director. You should know that better than me!"

"Five operating rooms, and in less than half an hour, dozens of surgical patients have been pushed out. Even hemorrhoid surgery isn't this fast!"

Qiu Lixin frowned deeply, his expression becoming increasingly grave.
