After the pregnant woman’s vital signs stabilized, Dr. Pang did not stay to guard the pregnant woman with Deputy Director Shi and Zhou Can, but followed Director Zhang and the others to withdraw.
Later on, when a rectal cancer patient treated by Director Zhang presented complex and challenging symptoms that were difficult to diagnose, Zhou Can needed to rush over to participate in the consultation.
It was Deputy Director Shi who had asked Dr. Pang to come over.
After Dr. Pang arrived, her attitude during the handover with Zhou Can was just as cold as it is now.
She didn’t openly confront Zhou Can.
It was just an indifferent and dismissive attitude.
Although Zhou Can felt somewhat displeased, he didn’t say much.
She is a chief physician in obstetrics, and compared to Zhou Can, a young resident doctor, she certainly had more experience.
"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first."
Dr. Pang left those words behind and went straight toward the emergency room exit.
Two nurses watched, their expressions strange, but they didn’t say anything.
Nurses never get involved in conflicts between doctors.
Their status is different, and they simply can’t get involved.
"Wait! Director Shi is seeing patients in the outpatient hall, and I’m the only doctor here guarding this pregnant woman. In case of an emergency, we would be caught unprepared. Dr. Pang, if it’s not urgent, please stay and help me watch over this pregnant woman. The first six hours of fat embolism are extremely critical, and something unexpected could happen at any time."
Zhou Can had spent a few months in the Intensive Care Medicine Department and knew how fragile human life could be.
It could be gone in an instant.
"There’s also a need for my help at the outpatient area! There doesn’t seem to be anything happening here, and since Dr. Zhou is more capable of handling more responsibilities, you should be able to manage just fine."
Even though Zhou Can asked her to stay, she still refused.
And her tone was somewhat sarcastic.
Zhou Can wasn’t foolish, he knew why she had that attitude.
It was simply because the position of deputy group leader wasn’t assigned to her, and now she was assigned under a newcomer like Zhou Can whose rank was lower. Having to follow the commands of Zhou Can, who had a lower professional grade, didn’t sit well with her.
"If Dr. Pang insists on going to the outpatient area and something happens to this pregnant woman, who will bear the consequences?"
Zhou Can’s smile faded from his face.
Giving face was not being taken, then don’t blame him for pulling rank.
High EQ doesn’t mean not offending anyone.
Saving a patient requires the entire medical team to cooperate. If Dr. Pang isn’t subdued, and she acts up during the rescue, it’s not a matter to be taken lightly.
"Ha, with Dr. Zhou taking charge of the rescue here, should someone else bear the consequences? Besides, as long as doctors have fulfilled their duty in attempting a rescue, how can they be held accountable?"
Dr. Pang’s smile was forced and unamused.
"Given the condition of this pregnant woman, who is already dependent on a ventilator to sustain her life, does Dr. Pang really think a single person can handle it in case of a critical situation?"
Zhou Can stared at her and asked.
This time, his tone was no longer courteous but rather that of a superior questioning a subordinate.
It would definitely make Dr. Pang uncomfortable, but that couldn’t be helped.
Her comfort would cost Zhou Can his peace.
"If because of your absence, there is a failed rescue attempt and the hospital investigates the responsibility, who should be held accountable? That’s all I have to say. If Dr. Pang thinks her career doesn’t matter, then feel free to leave. But if you dare take half a step out of the emergency room without my permission as the deputy group leader, I’ll show you how a doctor should behave."
Zhou Can directly pressed her with stern words.
Today, he just didn’t believe in this defiance, to see if she really had the nerve?
There’s an old saying that evil cannot suppress the righteous, but it presupposes that the righteous must be brave.
Otherwise, the more compliant you are, the more the evil side will think you are easy to bully.
Dr. Pang, being threatened by a junior doctor in front of Tuya Hospital’s nurses and doctors and nurses from Xinxiang Women and Children’s Hospital, her face turned red with anger, and her gaze became extremely fierce.
Zhou Can just looked at her with an icy gaze, his expression calm.
Their gazes locked, clashing.
"Go ahead and leave if you dare, don’t hesitate!"
Zhou Can had already seen hesitation deep within her eyes.
For a woman nearing forty, a stable job was too significant. In Zhou Can’s eyes, she saw immense confidence and fearlessness.
"What can you do if I leave?"
She was still somewhat reluctant, making a last attempt to test Zhou Can’s truthfulness. Latest content published on novel-fire.net
Confronting Zhou Can openly today would certainly be embarrassing.
If she could win, she would not only vent her anger but also save her so-called face.
Thus, she was testing.
"As the deputy group leader, I require you to stay at the scene ready to assist in the rescue of this pregnant woman at any moment. If you insist on leaving, that would be disregarding a superior’s command. I will immediately report your attitude to Director Zhang, and it’s up to her how to handle it. Maybe you think you’ve got connections being a long-time member of Tuya Hospital, but that won’t be enough to save you. Even your job might be at risk."
Zhou Can spoke very straightforwardly.
He wasn’t just scaring her; he really had the ability.
A chief physician nearing forty, however strong her potential, has limits. Compared to a prodigy like Zhou Can, she truly falls short by more than just a little.
"Can’t I even go to the restroom? Haha, I was just joking with Dr. Zhou a moment ago!"
After a few seconds of internal struggle, she forced a smile on her face and gave in decisively.
Just as Zhou Can had suspected, she couldn’t afford to gamble.
And she was completely unreasonable.
"Of course, going to the restroom is fine. I know Dr. Pang was joking, and I didn’t take it seriously either."
