Chapter 153
At this moment, two people were standing outside the operating room, observing; the woman seemed to be filming inside.
A man and a woman.
The man, around forty years old, exuded an aura of authority. He likely held some minor managerial power, like a cadre.
The woman was quite young, only in her twenties.
“What are you doing?”
Tang Ling quickly went over to stop them.
The operating room does not allow random filming. Outsiders are not permitted to enter.
The fact that these two were dressed in surgical protective gear suggested that they were likely hospital staff.
“We are Mr. Zhong Hui, the leader of the Quality Control group.”
The man introduced his identity with a stern face.
Though just a group leader, he was a genuine administrative cadre responsible for overseeing the medical quality of hospital clinical departments.
“Please try not to disturb the operating doctors and nurses. If there is anything, please wait until the surgery is finished,” Dr. Xu said gravely.
The sudden inspection of the Emergency Department’s operating room by a Quality Control group leader likely had something to do with the medication error for the child yesterday.
The matter was reported by Director Lou, who didn’t know the results from the higher-ups.
He thought it wouldn’t attract much attention from above, but now it seemed that there might be trouble.
“Xiao Zhou, Dr. Lu, continue with the surgery. Don’t get distracted.”
Dr. Xu reassured them.
In the operating room, he was the boss. Even if kings came, they had to follow his arrangements.
…
Half an hour later, Zhou Can finally completed the surgery. The patient’s abdomen was closed, and there were no mistakes.
“Teacher, do you think it’s okay now?”
“Yes, it’s done very well.”
Dr. Xu nodded, then turned to the anesthesiologist.
“If there’s no problem, let’s move the patient to the recovery room so they can wake up from the anesthesia!”
After saying this, he quickly wrote medical orders for the patient and wrapped up.
At this point, they stopped calling for other surgery patients.
Because the Quality Control department’s two ‘big shots’ clearly had ill-intentions, it was necessary to ask them what their business was first.
“Mr. Zhong, you can speak now!”
Dr. Xu’s tone was still polite.
After all, he was an official.
“Is this Zhou Can?” Zhong Hui pointed at Zhou Can.
“I am!”
Zhou Can vaguely sensed something ominous.
Wasn’t yesterday’s incident already clarified? It was nurse Tian Tian’s fault, why the trouble with him?
“The Medical Department received a report from your Emergency Department yesterday about a medical accident. After careful investigation, you were among the involved doctors. Our Quality Control department received the report and came today to gather evidence and to investigate and inspect the medical quality of your Emergency Department’s operating room. We hope everyone actively cooperates.”
It truly was an inquisition.
It seemed big troubles awaited today.
This is why departments prefer to handle minor issues internally as much as possible and conceal them from the higher-ups, out of a difficult necessity.
Reporting them would severely affect department evaluations, result in fines,
and attract attention and investigations from higher authorities.
Troubles would be never-ending.
There’s a saying, “It’s not the management but the investigation that is feared.”
Everyone makes careless mistakes from time to time. Being closely investigated by higher-ups can easily lead to multiple failures and problems being found everywhere.
Eventually, the whole department would suffer.
In fact, some minor issues or procedural oversights are not really problems.
At least, they wouldn’t cause any adverse consequences.
