This miracle doctor just wants to be fired!

The afternoon administrative meeting didn't have anything particularly noteworthy to discuss.

The department's bed turnover, consumable usage, and next month's shift schedule, as well as the hospital's newly issued requirements for medical record quality inspection.

These things are far less stimulating than surgery, yet they take up a significant portion of clinical work time.

Halfway through the meeting, the head nurse got into an argument with several medical team leaders over insufficient nursing staff scheduling.

"Every group says they have a heavy workload, then tell me, which bed isn't? One nurse is responsible for eighteen patients on the night shift. If something goes wrong, who will be held accountable?"

Zhang Dali sat down next to her, looking down at the shift schedule. "Head Nurse, our team did admit six critically ill patients this week."

The head nurse was blunt. "Your group was the most severely affected last week, and the week before that, so are you saying that the other groups are all here for recuperation?"

Someone in the meeting room couldn't help but chuckle.

Zhang Dali raised his head. "That's not what I meant."

"So what do you mean?"

"What I mean is..." Zhang Dali paused for a few seconds, then finally gave up explaining, "Do as the head nurse says."

The head nurse was finally satisfied.

Zhou Cheng sat in the main seat, watching quietly.

He is now increasingly understanding why many department heads lose their hair faster than ordinary doctors.

Problems encountered on the operating table often have relatively clear solutions.

Administrative management is different; everyone has their reasons, and everyone has their difficulties.

We can't refuse to admit patients, nurses can't work indefinite overtime, and doctors can't stay on call forever.

Ultimately, all you can do is choose the most acceptable option from a bunch of imperfect choices.

……

Near the end of the meeting, the medical affairs office called.

"Director Zhou, have you read the email from the European Society of Interventional Cardiovascular Diseases?"

Zhou Cheng replied, "Not yet."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, clearly surprised that Zhou Cheng hadn't actually looked at it.

"They transferred it through the International Cooperation Office. The hospital leadership attaches great importance to it. They received a video of the surgery last night and believe that the treatment of this complication is very special. They hope to obtain the complete case information."

"In addition, they are holding a symposium on complex interventional complications next month and would like to invite you to share your case online."

Zhou Cheng frowned. "Where did they get the footage?"

"I don't know."

"We haven't released this information to the public."

"The hospital is investigating."

After hanging up the phone, everyone in the conference room looked at Zhou Cheng.

Zhang Dali spoke first: "It's spread overseas so quickly?"

Lin Feng subconsciously said, "I only sent it to the department."

The head nurse glanced at him. "How many people are there in total?"

"More than seventy, what's the difference between that and making it public?"

Lin Feng was speechless.

Director Zou sat in the corner, appearing quite calm. "The problem now is that if we only show the final successful cases, it's easy for people to mistakenly believe that this method can be used indiscriminately."

Zhou Cheng nodded; this was also his biggest worry.

The dissemination of technology is not a bad thing in itself. However, once a complex remedial operation is stripped of its cause and effect, leaving only the most exciting few minutes, it can easily be imitated into a fixed procedure.

Last night's success was never due to a single action!

The real key is the overall assessment of catheter morphology, force direction, vascular risk, and timing of withdrawal.

A different patient, a different location, or even just a different catheter material can lead to completely different results!

"Raymond Lam".

"exist."

"Do not send case reviews to other hospitals yet."

Lin Feng was taken aback. "What about the Second Affiliated Hospital?"

"Send the text version of the risk warning first, and we'll send the video version after we've completed the privacy and standardized explanation."

"it is good."

Zhou Cheng paused for a moment, then said, "In addition, list all the people involved last night and investigate from which link the video was leaked."

The atmosphere in the meeting room became slightly more serious.

The head nurse frowned and asked, "Did someone take a picture of the screen?"

"Possibly."

The original images in the catheterization lab are subject to access control and are unlikely to be leaked without reason. The most common scenario is that someone takes a picture with their phone during a debriefing and then forwards it to the work group.

One forward, two forwards.

By the time it reached overseas, no one knew who originally posted it.

Zhou Cheng did not pursue the matter on the spot, saying, "Let's find out the truth first and not be prejudiced."

……

After the meeting, the others left one after another.

Lin Feng stayed behind, asking, "Director Zhou, am I the one who bears the most responsibility for this?"

Zhou Cheng asked in confusion, "Why?"

Lin Feng sighed: "It was the morning meeting debriefing that I organized, and it was also the video that I showed everyone."

"Looking at the images isn't the problem." Zhou Cheng shook his head. "Case studies require images anyway. The problem is whether anyone has violated patient privacy and departmental data management regulations. Let's find out before we talk about it."

Raymond Lam still felt somewhat guilty, "If it really was taken during the morning meeting..."

"Then fix the loopholes." Zhou Cheng looked at him. "Management isn't about ensuring there are never any problems, but about knowing where the problem lies and how to avoid it next time."

"You are now the lead physician in the team. You can't always react by admitting fault every time something goes wrong. Admitting fault won't solve the problem."

Lin Feng was stunned. In the past, he thought that taking the initiative to take responsibility was a sign of maturity.

But what Zhou Cheng told him was something else entirely.

Taking responsibility does not mean taking all the blame upon yourself.

A true person in charge should first control the impact, then find the cause, and finally establish rules.

"I understand." Lin Feng nodded. "I'll go check."

……

Throughout the afternoon, new messages kept popping up in the hospital's WeChat group.

Some people are discussing last night's surgery, some are asking about the details of the procedure, and some have already started naming the remedial method.

"Zhou's Repositioning Method".

"Reverse looping tension reduction technique".

"Multi-device collaborative catheter unlocking technology."

The names are getting more and more formal!

Lin Feng looked around and couldn't help but say, "Director Zhou, they're already preparing to name the technology."

Zhou Cheng shook his head: "Tell them not to name it yet."

Lin Feng was taken aback. "Why?"

"There's only one case," Zhou Cheng said. "Whether it's a replicable method or an accidental success under specific conditions, we don't know yet. Even if we want to name it, we can't rush it."

Lin Feng nodded. Just then, his phone rang again.

It was a message from a technician in the catheterization lab: "Team Leader Lin, I think I know how the video got leaked."

Lin Feng immediately put down his chopsticks. "Who sent this?"

The other party replied quickly, "It wasn't someone from our department. Last night, when the surgery was almost over, a doctor from the cardiac surgery department came in for a consultation, and it seems like he took a picture of the screen with his phone."

Lin Feng frowned. He had indeed notified the cardiac surgery department to be on standby when the situation was at its most critical last night.

Two cardiac surgeons also entered the catheterization lab for assessment during the procedure. At that time, everyone was focused on the operating table, and no one noticed whether they were taking pictures.

"Is there any evidence?"

"It should be visible on the surveillance footage."

Lin Feng handed the phone to Zhou Cheng.

After reading it, Zhou Cheng frowned: "Check the surveillance footage first."

Raymond Lam nodded: "I'll go now."

……

The surveillance footage was quickly retrieved.

Last night, during the final stage of the surgery, there was indeed a young doctor in cardiac surgery scrubs standing at the back.

He looked at the screen for a while, then took out his phone and took a picture for about twenty seconds.

The contents of the phone are not visible in the image, but the actions are very clear.

Raymond Lam was a little angry, "Why are you still filming a video at a time like this?"

"Let's contact the head of cardiac surgery first," Zhou Cheng said. "Let's see what he says."

After the call was made, the head of cardiac surgery arrived quickly.

After reviewing the surveillance footage, his expression turned grim. "Director Zhou, this is our department's new postdoctoral fellow. He went for a consultation with the on-call team last night. I'm calling him over now."

Ten minutes later, the young doctor hurriedly entered the monitoring room.

He was young, wore glasses, and appeared visibly nervous as soon as he entered.

"Director Zhou, Director Lin."

"Did you film the video last night?" the head of cardiac surgery asked directly.

The young doctor paused for a moment before replying, "Yes."

"Who did you send it to?"

"I only sent it to my advisor."

"Where is my mentor?"

"Germany."

The room fell silent immediately, and the path of how the incident spread became clear!

The young doctor quickly explained, "My mentor has been doing research on complex interventional complications and surgical salvage. I thought this treatment was particularly rare, so I took a short video and sent it to him."

"I didn't send it to any groups or post it on my WeChat Moments."

"What about the patient information?" Zhou Cheng asked.

"There was no name or hospital number in the video."

"The examination number is in the upper right corner of the image."

The young doctor's face paled; he clearly hadn't noticed this. "I'm sorry, I was only thinking about consulting my mentor at the time, I didn't think that much about it."

The head of cardiac surgery's face darkened. "Was this something you didn't consider? Surgical images are the patient's medical records. What right did you have to take them without permission? This is a legal offense!"

The young doctor lowered his head and offered no explanation.

"Take out your phone."

He handed over his phone; the sending records were still there.

The video was indeed only sent to one person, and the European Society of Interventional Cardiology (EICC) subsequently obtained the images, most likely from his supervisor.

"Contact your supervisor immediately, explain that the video source is unauthorized, and demand that it be stopped from being disseminated and deleted," Zhou Cheng said.

The young doctor nodded quickly, "I'll contact them right now."

"In addition, write a statement explaining the situation."

"Yes."

The head of cardiac surgery looked at Zhou Cheng and said, "Director Zhou, I will handle this matter seriously."

Zhou Cheng didn't make a fuss about it, and nodded: "First, control the spread. The purpose of this is to prevent it from happening again, not simply to punish a particular person."

The young doctor looked up, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He had been prepared for a public announcement.

Zhou Cheng simply asked, "Why did you want to film last night?"

"Because..." The young doctor hesitated for a moment, "This is the first time I've seen this situation. The cardiac surgery department was already prepared to open the chest. I thought interventional resuscitation was impossible. But when you used the distal loop to change the direction of force, I found it incredible, so I wanted to have my mentor take a look."

Zhou Cheng nodded: "There's nothing wrong with curiosity, and there's nothing wrong with academic exchange, but any exchange must be based on respect for patients and adherence to rules. No matter how important the technology is, it cannot supersede patient privacy."

The young doctor nodded solemnly: "I've got it."

This incident ultimately did not cause much of a stir in the department.

After the source of the images was identified, the hospital's International Cooperation Office formally explained the situation to the European Society of Interventional Cardiovascular Diseases.

The other party quickly replied, stating that they had suspended internal dissemination and were willing to wait for the hospital to provide formal, complete, and desensitized case information.

What was originally an awkward surprise turned into a proper academic invitation.

However, Zhou Cheng did not immediately agree to the online sharing session next month.

He asked Lin Feng to continue refining the case review, and also requested the radiology department, catheterization lab, and cardiac surgery department to supplement the risk analysis from different perspectives.

For three consecutive days, Lin Feng spent almost all his time in the office.

During the day, I make rounds and perform surgeries; at night, I revise reports.
