Zhou Can did not refuse this time.
It's good to leave a way out for oneself.
Deputy Director Liu agreed to support the doctors who came to join them, while Wan Sanlao was writing the list next to him. Seeing Zhou Can being called over by Vice Director Ye, Liu has been keeping an eye on him secretly.
Glancing over from time to time.
He is deeply fond of this student, Zhou Can.
This kid is really outstanding.
With him around, he's more useful than several attending physicians. Whether it's diagnosing complex diseases, performing endoscopic surgeries, or general surgeries, Zhou Can is very skilled.
Seeing Zhou Can returning calmly, a trace of disappointment flashed in Liu's eyes.
He still can't be retained!
"Xiao Zhou, can you delay your departure for a few days? The new sub-department is sure to face many challenges. Having you here would set my mind at ease. I'm worried things might get chaotic with your sudden departure."
Deputy Director Liu's tone carried a hint of pleading.
He's quite old, and he managed to seize a life-changing opportunity just before retirement. He did not want to fall flat on his face.
Unable to keep Zhou Can in General Surgery long-term, at least having him stay a few more days would help the newly-established sub-department smoothly transition.
"No problem. I have already notified Internal Medicine, so it's okay if I go there a few days later."
Zhou Can agreed happily.
In his difficult times, Liu bravely stepped forward to help him numerous times.
Over these two months, Liu taught him all he knew.
He even dared to let Zhou Can handle crucial parts of Level 3 surgeries.
It's precisely this trust and nurturing that allowed Zhou Can's surgical skills and experience to advance significantly.
"Good, good! I'm relieved to hear that!"
Deputy Director Liu seemed to have taken a calming pill, his expression visibly more relaxed.
After nearly an hour of free combination, the recruitment for the eight sub-departments was nearing its end.
The thyroid-breast surgery department originally had only three full-time physicians, but now it has increased to twenty-nine. The lineup is quite impressive, including four attending physicians, five deputy attending physicians, and several resident and attending doctors.
With the team expanded, the next step is to assign clear roles.
Including Liu, a total of nine deputy and attending physicians. Having a large number of high-level physicians has its pros and cons.
The advantage is that the physician team can maintain a high level in both surgeries and diagnoses.
Moreover, many of these attending and deputy attending physicians are popular; as long as they are consulting, there is basically no lack of patients.
The downside is the tail wagging the dog.
Managing these people requires giving them enough respect, and everything needs to be discussed.
Mobilizing them poses certain practical difficulties.
For attending and resident doctors, just order them to work.
Overall, the pros outweigh the cons.
"Xiao Zhou, help arrange the division of labor among the department members."
Liu was somewhat headache looking at the long list.
Zhou Can has many ideas, is quick-witted, and has good management skills. He has worked in ward rounds, patient admissions, emergency and inpatient surgeries, and ward management.
His experience is quite substantial.
Helping with the arrangement can ensure it's more reasonable, making the department's work efficiency higher.
Zhou Can walked over, first carefully checked the list.
Then he and Liu began to schedule these personnel.
"In terms of outpatient consultations, it's crucial to ensure that during consultation hours, there should be at least one attending physician specialized in thyroid diseases and one in breast diseases. There are only four attending physicians in total, and since one of them is involved in research and teaching, only three can do consultations. Attending physicians are very busy, often need to attend various meetings, academic seminars, and also have teaching duties."
"So, considering that, there definitely won't be enough attending physicians. We will have to rely on deputy attending physicians. Based on the expertise of these deputy attending physicians, we can arrange a more balanced pairing. Also, the operating room needs to be considered…"
Zhou Can made several excellent suggestions.
After a round of discussion and planning, the team's personnel were finally all in place.
Consideration was given to managing beds, patient admissions, surgeries, and other aspects.
Looking at nearly thirty full-time physicians, but when actually arranging specific tasks, he still felt somewhat short-handed. Manpower was quite tight.
Fortunately, Zhou Can would stay in the thyroid-breast surgery department to help for a few days.
When the time comes, like a hero, he will rush to where he is needed.
Besides the full-time physicians, regulated trainees, interns, and fellows are mainly responsible for basic and miscellaneous tasks.
Especially managing beds, assisting surgeries, changing dressings, and such tasks, which are largely performed by these individuals.
