This doctor is already middle-aged, and he's only just started practicing medicine.

Chapter 265 Shield!
Dai Linfang said with a smile, "Are you going to handle logistics for Brother Lu?"

"Stop joking. This joke isn't funny," Lu Cheng warned sternly.

Lu Cheng was genuinely a little angry.

Dai Linfang can be a little unruly within the research group, and Lu Cheng can turn a blind eye to that. But if it affects his clinical work, it will affect Lu Cheng's lifeline, and Lu Cheng will never allow it.

"Brother Lu, do you want the truth or a lie?" Dai Linfang knew that if he didn't tell the truth, Lu Cheng wouldn't let it go.

“Listen to everyone!” Lu Cheng said.

"The lie is that I came here to experience the clinical environment. After all, I also come from a clinical background. Anything outside of clinical practice is abstract, detached from reality, and doesn't have much meaning for patients."

"The truth is, I came to the emergency room so that I could help you, Brother Lu, solve some unnecessary troubles," Dai Linfang said.

"Unnecessary trouble?" Lu Cheng asked.

Dai Linfang's lips curled into a wicked grin: "Brother Lu, you don't think that when you're on duty in the emergency surgery department, dominating everyone and fully demonstrating your absolute abilities is a good thing for everyone, do you?"

Lu Cheng remained silent for a moment after hearing this, but did not reply. Instead, he walked from the doorway to the lower bunk of the lounge.

Dai Linfang continued to reopen old wounds: "Brother Lu, to put it bluntly, with your abilities, you would be a trump card in a higher-level teaching hospital, the best manpower available."

"But this isn't the case here."

"You get people into the operating room, and the surgeons take them away. The emergency department gets the good label, but the specialists get the bad label."

"Once or twice is fine, but ten or twenty times might affect other people's reputation and word-of-mouth."

"To put it more bluntly, you've disrupted the inherent balance of the state hospital's emergency system. When one link exceeds the overall capacity here, it makes some people appear incompetent!"

"The mortality rate at the start of the season is getting higher and higher, what are you going to do with them?"

Are others getting promoted?

"If you can't get promoted, how can you still get by, Brother Lu?"

Whether it's emergency surgery or any other type of surgery, the mortality rate at the start of the procedure certainly can't be anything extraordinary!

The benchmarking of the state people's hospital is not only based on the past and present, but also on comparison with other prefecture-level city hospitals.

Superiors only look at the final figures.

How many surgeries were performed, and what was the mortality rate?

If it were the same disease, in other prefecture-level city hospitals, twenty ventilators were used, and only five patients died.

Fifteen people died here? That's definitely an exaggeration.

The problem is that, according to the usual standards, many patients with the same disease would not be able to get into the operating room.

"Brother Dai, what do you want to say?" Lu Cheng scratched his head.

Although he already knew the answer, he still wanted to hear Dai Linfang say something different.

"What are you talking about? Either you're being targeted, and you made a mistake, so they took away all your privileges."

“Either we transfer you to another position, or we won’t let you have such a wide impact,” Dai Linfang said bluntly.

"Because if I were a surgeon, I would know that some patients are beyond my capabilities, and I wouldn't like to see them come into my operating room!"

"When someone demands something I can't do, I'll go crazy!"

Lu Cheng understood Dai Linfang's meaning and retorted, "Then what's the use of you coming?"

Dai Linfang said, "Isn't this just having another helper? Now that I'm here, at least I have the right to legitimately know what you've been doing, Brother Lu."

"If someone tries to trip you up, I can still lend you a hand when it matters."

"Of course, I can take care of some of the smaller, more delicate things for you in advance."

“You don’t need to thank me. I’m doing this just so you can focus more on your research.” Dai Linfang raised his chin with a touch of arrogance.

"Brother Dai, if you keep doing this, I suggest you grow a big beard and go develop your career in Chengdu," Lu Cheng said irritably.

Dai Linfang immediately straightened his expression: "I come from a surgical background, and I haven't been in the surgical system for a long time. I'm really itching to get back to work."

"Yes, my current staff position is being transferred to the State People's Hospital."

Lu Cheng was stunned: "Are you crazy?!"

"Brother Dai, didn't you know I was leaving?"

Dai Linfang nodded and said, "I know. You go your way, I'll stay here and develop my career."

"Xiangzhou is quite an interesting place."

Lu Cheng walked straight out and closed the door behind him: "You definitely have something wrong with your head. My mother told me not to play with idiots."

Dai Linfang was indeed seriously ill, which is why he was thinking of transferring his medical records from Zhongnan Hospital to the State People's Hospital.

Dai Linfang followed him out of the lounge and said, "Brother Lu, don't get so agitated."

Lu Cheng said, "Your kind of thinking makes me very agitated; you're a madman."

Dai Linfang pulled Lu Cheng back and dragged him into the lounge. This time, Dai Linfang blocked the door.

"Brother Lu, you really don't know how lucky you are!"

"What kind of place do you think you are in?"

"What a treasure! It's an autonomous prefecture, and ethnic minorities get extra points on the college entrance exam!"

Dai Linfang was telling the truth. Lu Cheng's raw score on the college entrance exam was 666, and his total score was 686. The extra 20 points didn't seem to make much difference.

"People from outside are all thinking about coming to help. Have you ever thought about it? If you could raise the level of scientific research here, or achieve something, would other places be able to compare?"

Why are so many people coming to aid western Hunan?

"Why are there so many associate senior physicians in a county hospital in Xiangzhou? Are they very capable in all aspects?"

"This is the only prefecture-level administrative unit in Hunan Province that it governs itself, and it basically doesn't export any of its tax revenue."

"Even those who go abroad, more come back. Do you agree?!"

"You could say that Xiangzhou currently enjoys the best policies in the entire Hunan province," Dai Linfang said.

"So why can't I transfer my file here?"

Lu Cheng was from Xiangzhou, Hunan Province, and was a beneficiary of the policy; he had indeed never considered this issue.

“Brother Dai, you have your ideas, and I have my considerations. Neither of us needs to convince the other,” Lu Cheng quickly said.

Dai Linfang said, "Of course, I'm not trying to convince you; I'm just explaining my reasons for making this choice."

"Moreover, based on my research, the average level of scientific research in Xiangzhou is currently quite low and very weak, but the treatment and policies for doctoral students are good."

"It suits me quite well."

"As for the local customs, they are indeed fierce, but they are also genuinely simple and honest."

"At least, when I go on road trips, I sometimes find myself somewhere I haven't eaten and want to get a meal. I usually just give them a token amount of money, and in most cases, I don't give them any."

Lu Cheng agreed with this point.

Although Xiangzhou was poor, if you were starving and asked for a meal at any restaurant, they would generally not refuse you; their hospitality was genuine.

The saying "the locals are tough" is relative to conflict. They'll only fight you if there's a disagreement. If you come all this way to be polite, they'll have plenty of meat and vegetables to eat, no problem at all.

However, Lu Cheng was not Dai Linfang's parent and had no obligation to correct Dai Linfang's values ​​and choices: "Brother Dai, you don't need to tell me these things. I'm a little afraid of you. Right now, the label I have for you is like a leech, I can't get rid of it." Dai Linfang sighed: "Actually, I don't want to either, but I know I have to seize the opportunity."

"To be honest, if we went back five years, with your personality, Brother Lu, I would have stopped serving you a long time ago."

"However, some roads may look wide, but they actually get narrower and narrower as you walk on them."

"Then it's not just a simple matter of promotion or layoff; it's a matter of promotion or resignation."

"Therefore, a large part of us must be aware of potential dangers, lest we be trampled on by others."

Lu Cheng wasn't a fool, and he began to look at Dai Linfang with a meaningful gaze.

"I was just saying maybe," Dai Linfang quickly explained.

"Besides, I don't have much of a grudge against them..."

Lu Cheng didn't believe it and sneered twice.

"Okay, there must be some, but it has nothing to do with the entry requirements."

"Whether it was entering school or taking exams, I didn't encounter any major setbacks," Dai Linfang said with a touch of arrogance.

Lu Cheng was momentarily filled with emotion; the world was truly vast and chaotic.

Anything can be mixed up.

As Dai Linfang said, other people in the surgical system of the State People's Hospital did not want Lu Cheng to stay in the emergency department. Also, Professor Tan Zhongyuan led a group out to perform a fake surgery, but failed and saw the progress of other hand surgery procedures.

Now there's another one, Dai Linfang, who's annoyed by Lu Cheng.

The world keeps turning, and as long as it keeps turning, it's impossible for Lu Cheng to be completely idle and able to do what he wants in peace.

Where can you find such a good thing?
"Brother Dai, I'm really a little scared of you. How about I apologize to you and you let me go?"

"From now on, you walk your sunny path, and I'll walk my narrow bridge?" Lu Cheng immediately bowed and admitted defeat.

"Please stop bothering me."

Dai Linfang shook his head: "That's impossible."

"If I hadn't met you, and didn't know you, we might have just passed each other by. But now that I've met you, would I be stupid to ask you to leave?"

"Brother Lu, you really don't need to be so wary of me."

Lu Cheng directly exposed Dai Linfang's pretense: "On what grounds? On the grounds that we met by chance?"

"I really can't afford to offend you. I can't afford to provoke you, and I certainly can't trust you."

Dai Linfang was speechless for a moment, so he could only resort to shamelessness: "Then we can only accept reality and let time reveal true character."

"I can't give any other reason. Anyway, it's impossible for you to make me leave."

Lu Cheng and Dai Linfang did not reach an agreement, but they did not completely break down in their negotiations either.

All I can say is that we understand there's a temporary disagreement.

Lu Cheng continued his shift, while Dai Linfang went to the laboratory after leaving the emergency department.

Dai Linfang wouldn't be so noble as to suddenly appear out of nowhere. His entry into the field will end in February, and he won't officially join the class until March.

However, with this transfer at the hospital, Dai Linfang didn't have much to do, so he could report for duty ahead of schedule.

For the People's Hospital of Yuzhou, a doctoral degree like Dai Linfang's is quite rare. The hospital's official website states that doctoral degree holders can submit their resumes at any time and be hired immediately.

There are no age restrictions, and there are also talent introduction fees.

From this perspective, reading and improving one's education can truly change a person's destiny.

……

As Lu Cheng was about to leave after handing over his shift to Deng Duanmou, who was taking over the night shift, he encountered a smiling man in a white coat walking towards him.

"Is this Dr. Lu Cheng?" The man was in his thirties, only two or three years older than Lu Cheng. The name tag he wore on his chest read "Wei Zhiming, Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, State People's Hospital".

Wei Zhiming shook hands with Lu Cheng with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Brother Wei, my name is Lu Cheng." Lu Cheng introduced himself without wearing a name tag.

Wei Zhiming took off his white coat and said, "Brother Lu, you're off work too, right? Would you like to go out for something to eat together?"

“Sure!” Lu Cheng had no other plans for the day, and since it was an invitation from a colleague in his department, he accepted.

Of course, Lu Cheng had already vaguely anticipated this.

Lu Cheng and Wei Zhiming drove separately to a farmhouse restaurant. When they arrived, there were three other people inside, all of them young and from the surgical field.

One of them, whom Lu Cheng also recognized, was Min Rui, the associate chief physician of trauma surgery, with whom Lu Cheng had frequent contact.

After entering, everyone introduced themselves to each other, and finally Wei Zhiming said, "Brother Lu, we inquired and heard that you have a background in orthopedics."

"With such great skills, why didn't you consider developing your career in the orthopedics department of our hospital?"

Wei Zhiming and the others certainly wouldn't dare to directly tell Lu Cheng not to cause trouble in the emergency department, so they thought of persuading Lu Cheng to leave.

Lu Cheng replied with a smile, "I've been there before, but I was rejected."

Lu Cheng's answer surprised everyone.

Wei Zhiming rolled his eyes and immediately said, "Since you've been there, Brother Lu, that proves you still have this idea."

"Brother Min, didn't you say that Director Wu of your trauma surgery department really values ​​someone like Brother Lu? Could you put in a good word for me?"

"Brother Lu is so capable, it's really tough for him to work so hard in the emergency department."

Min Rui said, "Director Wu mentioned it, and I also invited him, but Brother Lu didn't want to come."

"Our orthopedics department is always ready to welcome patients."

"Actually, Director Xiao of the emergency department was also willing to let go."

Lu Cheng's guess came true. Dai Linfang's arrival at the emergency department today was not unfounded. He really had connections and his own 'information sources' and knew that these people would come to him.

Lu Cheng said, "Brother Min, my personal fortune is limited. I started out in the emergency department of the county hospital, so I'm used to it."

Min Rui bluntly said, "Brother Lu, let's be honest. First, going to a vocational college will only bring you benefits and no harm."

"High salary, fast promotion, and you'll have work experience in grassroots units and the emergency department. It's a high-paying and low-stress job."

"In this way, all of us brothers will have a better life. It's actually a win-win-win situation."

After Min Rui finished speaking, he explained, "It's not that Brother Lu is bad in the emergency department, it's that we are not good enough and can't withstand the pressure you put on us."

Min Rui didn't try to have it both ways; he directly talked about the pressure he and others were facing.

Being an associate chief physician is not the pinnacle at the state hospital. If everyone wants to be promoted, they must take on clinical tasks.

But when they were on duty, Lu Cheng would always send them some diseases that he couldn't handle, and their group would end up being buried with Lu Cheng.

If an associate chief physician's on-the-job mortality rate exceeds a certain threshold, he's lucky if he doesn't get criticized, let alone promoted!

Although this data is not explicitly recorded, it is a very crucial factor.

It won't affect the department or the hospital, but it will affect individuals!

Lu Cheng shrugged his shoulders and asked with a smile, "Brothers, have I understood the topic we're going to discuss today?"
