Come on, Dr. Wu

Chapter 324: New department opened, rare case seen again

And the head nurse.

Although it is not popular to have the final say nowadays, if a department director cannot fully control the department, how can the department run smoothly? After all, Wu Xiaofu has only been in the First Affiliated Hospital for too short a time, and there are not many nurses available.

Especially nurses who are both capable and trustworthy.

However, this matter undoubtedly needs to be resolved as soon as possible. Wu Xiaofu has also dealt with Rong Qiao. He will be the one to choose the head nurse. No matter who it is, the hospital will firmly insist on it. However, the head nurse has a heavy responsibility. Even if she doesn't choose those old nurses who have been serving as head nurses for several years, she has to be a nurse with rich experience.

The hospital campus has been registered, but the specific department that officially admits patients still has to be decided by Wu Xiaofu.

Wu Xiaofu plans to officially accept patients again in three days, which happens to be Wu Xiaofu's next outpatient day.

For such a big event, Wu Xiaofu naturally had to gather everyone together to celebrate in the evening.

It’s still these people in the group, as well as Yu Shifu and Duan Hao.

Finally, there is a special person, Lu Xiaoyue.

"Xiao Fu, I'm telling you, this is the last time you're trying to poach people from your old employer, Director Zhang, Peng Xia, and now Xiao Yue. Next time you do this, you'll have to pay."

After a few drinks, Duan Hao jokingly warned Wu Xiaofu, "Yes, Wu Xiaofu called Lu Xiaoyue over for a very clear purpose, which was to make Lu Xiaoyue the head nurse of the new department."

Although he has been working for a year, there are actually only a limited number of nurses that Wu Xiaofu can trust.

Lu Xiaoyue is undoubtedly the best among them.

When he first arrived at the First Affiliated Hospital, especially in the emergency department, Lu Xiaoyue, as a nurse, helped Wu Xiaofu a lot. Wu Xiaofu fully believed in Lu Xiaoyue's professional ability and emotional intelligence.

Lu Xiaoyue is actually only 29 years old this year, but she has been working in the First Affiliated Hospital for six years.

I have been staying here since I graduated from college for six years. Not only do I have rich work experience, but I also work in the emergency department, which is a particularly torturous and tiring department. As everyone knows, among these departments in the hospital, the most tiring department, besides the critical care department, is the emergency department.

Overtime work is a common occurrence, and when on duty at night, you basically cannot rest the whole night. It is simply incomparable to other departments. Although other departments are also busy, they can always sleep for two or three hours at night. Working in the emergency department for a long time can easily make you exhausted.

Therefore, in the emergency department, there are basically very few nurses who can stay for a particularly long time.

After six years, I am considered a veteran in the emergency department.

So when Wu Xiaofu said that Lu Xiaoyue should be the head nurse, the nursing department thought about it and agreed. Although Rong Qiao had already made a recommendation, if the head nurse chosen by Wu Xiaofu was not qualified for the position of head nurse, the nursing department would still have to persuade her.

As for Lu Xiaoyue, apart from being young, the nursing department found nothing wrong with her resume.

Rong Qiao agreed, the nursing department agreed, and Lu Xiaoyue agreed, so the matter was settled.

Naturally, Lu Xiaoyue was only grateful to Wu Xiaofu.

You know, the youngest head nurse in the First Affiliated Hospital of Donghai is over 35 years old, not to mention those who are under 30 years old. It is absolutely rare. As we all know, the nursing industry is basically a job for the young.

When you enter the hospital, you will find that most of the nurses are under 40 years old. Nurses over 40 years old hardly account for 10% of the nurses, and those over 50 years old are even less likely to do so. Unless they can become the head nurse or join the nursing department, otherwise, these nurses will gradually disappear from the industry and be replaced by young nurses in the industry.

Lu Xiaoyue had originally planned to work hard for a few years. It would be best if she could become the head nurse when she was around 35 years old, and she could continue working. But if she saw no hope by then, she would have no choice but to retire.

After all, after the age of 35, you may not have the energy to keep going.

The workload for nurses is very intense, especially for emergency department nurses. Even if they want to work hard, they lose energy after the age of 35, and forcing themselves to work hard will only increase the chances of accidents.

As for what nurses do after they stop working, there are various options, such as being a full-time housewife, opening a small shop, etc. Wu Xiaofu doesn't know much about it.

When Wu Xiaofu found Lu Xiaoyue, she was confused. As a 29-year-old head nurse, Wu Xiaofu wanted her to save ten years of detours.

Her first reaction at that time was that Wu Xiaofu was joking with her, but she soon realized that Wu Xiaofu was serious, because Wu Xiaofu really had the power. There was no need to hesitate. She had to agree.

Without further ado, Lu Xiaoyue agreed.

Today, Lu Xiaoyue has completed the relevant formalities. Although Area F will not start enrolling patients for another three days, Lu Xiaoyue has already started the previous work, such as arranging places for other nurses.

The ratio of medical staff to nursing staff in each department of the First Affiliated Hospital is generally about one to two to three.

That is to say, for every doctor, there are two or three nurses.

In the initial setup of area F, there are three groups of doctors, with twelve formal members, four in each group, and the rest are trainees, commissioned students, graduate students and the like. With a dozen or more, it will be almost enough.

As for the nurses, Wu Xiaofu and Lu Xiaoyue discussed it and felt that thirty to thirty-six would be the most suitable number.

It is divided into six shifts, with five to six people in each shift. This ratio is much better than that of other departments, and the nurses do not have to be as tired as in other departments. Of course, it is also because of Wu Xiaofu in Area F. Most of the patients recruited are likely to be seriously ill. With more nurses, the possibility of problems is less.

It’s not that we don’t want to hire more people, but hiring more people will lead to many problems.

One is whether the hospital gives quotas. After all, the hospital pays the salaries. If you recruit more people, the hospital will have to spend more. This is subject to professional risk control. Another reason is that if too many people are recruited, the performance of the department will be diluted. Therefore, it is best to control the number of people within a reasonable range, whether it is doctors or nurses.

According to Wu Xiaofu's estimation, the current number is just right.

Lu Xiaoyue will ask for six to ten experienced nurses from the existing departments of the hospital, so that she can ensure that there will be one or two experienced nurses in charge of each of the six teams. This way, if some rare or difficult problems arise, there will be no panic and they can solve them calmly.

Then some temporary nurses will be transferred to become regular nurses of the department.

This is about a dozen or so.

Many people have come here recently just for this matter. After all, many of these temporary nurses are arranged by certain connections in the hospital. Of course, it would be best if they could be converted into full-time nurses. Such opportunities are rare. Generally, they have to wait for an old nurse to leave before they can be converted. Now, more than a dozen can be arranged at one time, which makes them jealous.

Therefore, when people with various connections came to him, they all knew that Wu Xiaofu was the one who made the decision. So, whether they were those in a higher position or those who were familiar with him, they basically sent messages or gave gifts. Wu Xiaofu didn't care and let Lu Xiaoyue examine his ability and character and then directly select him.

The next step is to recruit some new people. This is necessary. A team has a very important hierarchical structure. Although new people may not be as skilled at work, they represent youth and positivity. They are more willing to work than old people and will work harder. Some of the work that old people are unwilling to do can be handed over to them.

The rest can be filled by them.

In this way, the problem of nurses can be solved. However, this part requires passing the recent recruitment examination. The hospital thought of this problem when expanding the campus, so the recruitment of both nurses and doctors was scheduled for a week later.

In other words, one week later, these medical staff will officially join Wu Xiaofu's team.

"Brother, when Director Zhang came to the hepatobiliary surgery department, I was still working in the emergency department. I don't want to take the blame for this."

Zhang Xuewen was in particularly high spirits today. Perhaps it was because he had finally gotten his wish of becoming the deputy director of a department after years of waiting. In the future, he might even go further and become a department director, which made Zhang Xuewen even more excited.

Others might think that Wu Xiaofu is young, and if he becomes the department director, he will hold the position for a long time and will have no chance to come to the fore. However, Zhang Xuewen knows that with Wu Xiaofu's ability to make breakthroughs, it is hard to say when he will be promoted from department director to a position that is more suitable for him.

Everyone also congratulated Zhang Xuewen, especially Duan Hao. To be honest, he felt very sorry for Zhang Xuewen before, but even Duan Hao was often powerless to do anything about such things. Now that he saw Zhang Xuewen get what he wanted and have better development, Duan Hao was naturally very happy for him.

As for Lu Xiaoyue, Duan Hao was just joking. Wu Xiaofu wanted to open another stall, and as his senior brother, he would be very willing to give it to ten people, let alone one.

In fact, there are a lot of people who want to be the head nurse of area F, and many have sent their messages in the past few days. Unfortunately, Wu Xiaofu has no intention of doing that at all. The head nurse is the housekeeper of the department, and it would be strange for him to use those whose background he doesn't know well.

Eating and singing, everyone was in a very good mood that night.

However, after the boom, it was time to work in full swing. The department was newly opened and there was a lot of work to do. Even if Wu Xiaofu assigned most of the work to other departments, he still had many things to consider and decide.

For example, if the department is short of something, it is necessary to contact other administrative departments to report and purchase it.

Or personnel arrangements require his signature.

Or some safety facilities within the department that require signatures and approval, etc.

Moreover, Wu Xiaofu is about to leave Area D now, and many things need to be handed over. Some patients originally came to him for surgery, and he certainly cannot abandon them. After everything in the department is ready, he has to arrange for Lu Xiaoyue to take these patients first.

Then there is no need for some patients in area D who have already completed surgery to go to other departments, and they can be directly handed over to their attending physicians.

The last thing was to pack up the office supplies. The people in the department were reluctant to see Wu Xiaofu and the others leave. Well, they really couldn't bear to let them go.

District D is in a precarious situation today.

Zuo Hui was deeply involved in a lawsuit, and that group had no energy to work anymore, and there were fewer surgeries. With Wu Xiaofu's departure, more than half of the workload in Area D was gone. Upon closer inspection, it was actually Maoqi's group that was the most stable.

However, this is all temporary.

The hospital cannot fail to consider these issues. Later, it will select an experienced director from areas abc to lead the team in area D to fill Wu Xiaofu's vacancy. As a hepatobiliary surgery ward, the hospital does not allow the gap between area D and other wards to be too big.

Of course, these are not issues that Wu Xiaofu needs to consider. His main problem now is how to develop his new ward.

The transferred patients occupied five beds.

On Friday, Wu Xiaofu came early to announce that the ward was officially open. Everyone was very excited. The nurses selected by Lu Xiaoyue also arrived. There were twenty-two nurses in total, plus Lu Xiaoyue, the head nurse, making a total of twenty-three.

The benefits of being a head nurse are naturally huge. As the housekeeper of the department, not only will you have greater power, but you will also not have to be on duty anymore, you will earn more, and you will have more room for promotion. Today, Lu Xiaoyue is undoubtedly very proud of herself.

At Wu Xiaofu's command, everyone started working.

They knew that today would not be too busy. After all, today was Wu Xiaofu's outpatient clinic. Everyone believed in Wu Xiaofu's ability to admit patients. After all, there was precedent.

Sure enough, in just three hours, Wu Xiaofu treated ten cancer patients for the department.

All of a sudden, the ward became busy. Everyone felt their scalps tingling when they saw the speed at which patients were admitted. They felt that at this rate, most of the ward would be filled up today.

When Wu Xiaofu is now accepting patients, he basically only accepts seriously ill patients or those with difficult cases. For those with lighter cases, such as gallbladder problems, he directly arranges them for daytime clinics and invites Feng Lingling and others to come. However, he is now famous after all, and most of the patients who come to him are seriously ill or those with difficult cases.

However, what Wu Xiaofu remembered most on that day was the patient he saw near the end of his get off work day.

Master Wang is 55 years old and a native of Shudu. He came to Donghai to work a few years ago and has been there for ten years. Last month, his father passed away in his hometown, so Master Wang rushed back to his hometown to attend the funeral and stayed there for a while.

After taking care of his father's funeral, Master Wang rushed back to Donghai to continue working. But not long after, he began to have symptoms of loss of appetite and fatigue. At first, he thought it was because he had eaten too much oily and meaty food during this period, so he didn't take it seriously.

Just take some medicine and get through it. This is what Master Wang did before. As a worker, he doesn't have to eat regularly. He is lucky to be able to eat raw, cold and hard food. This kind of situation often occurs. Just take some medicine and get through it. Master Wang has experience. But this time seems to be different.

Later, Master Wang began to experience mild abdominal pain and diarrhea.

Abdominal pain and diarrhea are actually just common symptoms. Master Wang’s symptoms are not very serious. Master Wang’s first reaction is the same as most people, no, the same as that of doctors: Maybe he has an upset stomach.

However, after taking the medicine, the abdominal pain and diarrhea not only continued, but even showed signs of worsening. Something was wrong.

Finally, after suffering from abdominal pain and diarrhea, as well as chills and fever for three consecutive days, he could no longer bear it and came to the hospital for treatment.

Wu Xiaofu was recommended by the emergency department. Master Wang did not register because the person who saw Master Wang was Duan Fei. Master Wang had a CT scan in his hand. Duan Fei knew at a glance that this was not something he could solve, so he quickly called Wu Xiaofu.

Wu Xiaofu first took a look at Master Wang's CT scan on the computer, and that was why he asked Master Wang to come over. Yes, he was also very interested in this case, and he had never seen such a case before.

The CT scan showed that most of Master Wang's liver had been "hollowed out". The CT scan on the computer showed that Master Wang's liver had turned into a large pus ball. After measurement, it was found to be about the same size as a watermelon, at 19cmx18cmx12cm.

What a concept!
To be honest, when Wu Xiaofu saw this CT scan for the first time, his eyes widened.

The course of the disease was so short, the onset was so acute, the disease progressed so quickly, and the symptoms and signs were so serious, many thoughts flashed through Wu Xiaofu's mind in an instant.
