Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 451 - 377: How Should a Leader Lead? (Part 2)

Chapter 451: Chapter 377: How Should a Leader Lead? (Part 2)

So naturally, Liu Meng spent her rare free time relaxing with friends and colleagues.

"Okay."

Zhao Heng nodded without hesitation.

After leaving the Deputy Director’s office, Liu Meng returned to the doctor’s office.

As soon as Liu Meng came in, several visiting and training doctors nervously asked her, "Sister Meng, did the Director say he would go?"

As soon as Ruan Liuzheng became Zhao Heng’s mentoring student, she started following him to consultations and was busy communicating with the operating room and such. This made some visiting and training doctors a bit envious, so they were thinking if there was any way to get closer to Zhao Heng.

If you can’t get the meat, at least you can drink some soup, right?

This was the truest thought of the visiting and training doctors at the moment.

"The Director not only wants to go but he’s also paying."

Liu Meng smiled and said.

"That’s so nice?"

A visiting female doctor said somewhat doubtfully.

Previously, she also had a training session, but the department head of her training didn’t even want to have a meal with them, let alone speak a few extra words to them. It was all about assigning tasks for them to do.

"Alright, I’ll send the address to the group later, everyone be there at six thirty sharp."

Liu Meng ignored the visiting female doctor’s doubts and instead smiled as she spoke to the others.

As soon as Liu Meng finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room became lively, especially for the interns, who didn’t expect to be included in the invitation.

If there’s anyone with the least voice and lowest status in the department, it’s the interns. They are called upon by senior doctors at will, and they also need to stay patient and learn, otherwise, what will they rely on for a living in the future?

So, being able to encounter a Director like Zhao Heng is considered extremely lucky.

Soon, time reached 5:20 PM, and seeing it was almost time to clock out, Zhao Heng said to Ruan Liuzheng, who was still sitting and writing medical records, "Dr. Ruan, you can finish your work for the day."

"Director, I’ll clock out once I finish writing this bit."

Ruan Liuzheng said.

"Okay."

Zhao Heng just nodded and then walked out of the doctor’s office.

"Zhengzheng, what’s your first-day impression of following the Director?"

As soon as Zhao Heng left, Liu Meng asked Ruan Liuzheng.

"It was an eye-opening experience."

Ruan Liuzheng spoke earnestly. Just the hospital-wide consultations alone, she wouldn’t know when she’d get to see such things if not for Zhao Heng.

Listening to these directors discuss medical cases gave her a bit of insight for deeper learning.

After all, these director doctors don’t waste words; what they say is substantial and valuable, comprising years of their hard-earned experience.

It’s best to remember as much as possible; you never know when it might come in handy.

After all, medicine is still a science of experience, and accumulating experience is very important. If relying entirely on oneself to accumulate it, besides the time it takes, the trial and error costs alone are unbearable.

So, following a good teacher and listening to them exchange with other excellent teachers can greatly shorten this experience accumulation process.

At least in the earlier stages, you can directly use the experience of the teacher.

"Oh? It seems like you’ve gained a lot only on your first day."

Liu Meng smiled and said.

"What can I say? Doctors at the director level, they’re like living in a different world from us."

Ruan Liuzheng remarked with some emotion.

She finally understood why some people say that doctors at the director level have terrifyingly extensive connections.

Often important people and their relatives come for treatment, and with more exposure over time, the social network naturally becomes very broad.

"That’s why you have to work even harder."

Liu Meng said.

With her promotion to attending physician imminent, she’s been feeling quite good lately.

As for becoming a deputy director or chief physician after that, it’s not something one can achieve just by accumulating seniority; it depends on personal ability and opportunities.

Usually, those with strong abilities and opportunities are already in their thirties, like Liu Ziang.

But Zhao Heng is truly an exception and not included in the discussion.

"By the way, you know about tonight’s gathering, right?"

Liu Meng asked again.

"A gathering?"

Ruan Liuzheng was a little surprised.

How come there’s a gathering all of a sudden?

Could today be some kind of holiday?

"Yes, the Director invited everyone to relax a little bit, we’ll all go together later."

Liu Meng said.

"How did the Director suddenly decide to let everyone relax?"

Ruan Liuzheng still asked with some doubt. In her view, Zhao Heng seemed not to care much about anything other than work, so how did this gathering come about suddenly?

"The Director is also a young person, maybe he’s feeling the pressure lately."

Liu Meng said nonchalantly.

"I didn’t notice the Director showing any signs of pressure."

Ruan Liuzheng slightly shook her head, remembering Zhao Heng’s calm and dignified manner during the hospital-wide consultation, she didn’t feel that Zhao Heng was under any pressure.

On the other hand, Zhao Heng arrived at the operating room lounge.

Walking into the lounge, Zhao Heng sat down and waited for Xu Man Ni to come out.

Just then, Xu Wenqiang came out after changing and saw Zhao Heng, so he smiled and asked, "Waiting for Man Ni?"

"Yes."

Zhao Heng nodded.

"Is the tea good?"

Xu Wenqiang asked.

"It’s...it’s okay."

Zhao Heng didn’t actually drink the tea; for him, the coffee machine that Liu Ziang gifted still had its newness, wasn’t freshly ground coffee more aromatic?

"Alright, after you finish, come get some more from me, I won’t disturb you young folks anymore."

Xu Wenqiang smiled and then left.

Soon, Xu Man Ni came out after changing.

"What are your plans for the evening?"

Having finished work early, Xu Man Ni wanted to spend some quality time with Zhao Heng.

"Well, there’s a department gathering tonight."

Zhao Heng said.

"Your ward? Who’s going?"

Xu Man Ni was a bit surprised. This kind of gathering was not something Zhao Heng was in the habit of attending.

"Everyone who can make it will go; it’s like a get-to-know-each-other thing."

Zhao Heng said.

"If everyone’s going, and if Zhenzhen is going, I’ll join too."

Xu Man Ni said casually while holding onto Zhao Heng’s arm affectionately.

Tian Zhen is now the head nurse of Zhao Heng’s ward, so she’s quite aware of Zhao Heng’s activities.

As for the student Zhao Heng recently took on, Xu Man Ni didn’t pay any attention, and neither did Tian Zhen take it seriously.

After all, it’s just a lucky visiting doctor.

"What made you suddenly think of having a gathering?"

Xu Man Ni asked again with some curiosity.

"Director Xu told me a lot today..."

Zhao Heng said.

"He’s sharing all his experiences, right?"

Xu Man Ni smiled charmingly.

Middle-aged men do love to play the teacher role, especially after forty, it seems.

"So you’re inviting the department for a gathering?"

It just dawned on Xu Man Ni.

"Something like that."

Zhao Heng nodded.

"You’re really quick to follow advice."

Xu Man Ni smiled.

She found it amusing how Zhao Heng, who would comply when an elder spoke, was interesting in his own way.

"But indeed, inviting for food, drink, and entertainment is the fastest way to build relationships. Why else would business deals often take place over dinner or in a karaoke venue?"

After a pause, Xu Man Ni objectively acknowledged, affirming Zhao Heng’s actions.

"Have you booked the place?"

Xu Man Ni asked again.

"I’ve let Dr. Liu handle it; after all, I’m a Deputy Director, I can’t be doing everything myself, right?"

Zhao Heng said casually.

"Of course, you seem to be adapting quite well."

Xu Man Ni said, her eyes brightening.

How to say, when someone suddenly rises to a high position, usually two situations arise: one is becoming overly arrogant, looking down on everyone, and the other is becoming overly cautious, afraid of making mistakes. This is typical small-mindedness that can’t change overnight.

"That obstetrics patient, Uncle just talked to me about it, do you have confidence?"

After a pause, Xu Man Ni asked with concern.

With the family member of Department Number One, there was probably no doctor at Eastern Hospital who wouldn’t feel nervous.

"Saying I am 100% confident would be unrealistic, but with Director Huang and I working together, we have about an 80% chance."

Zhao Heng thought for a moment and said.

Don’t underestimate 80%, sometimes in clinical settings with critical patients, having a 30% or 40% chance is already worth the risk.

This 80% was Zhao Heng being conservative.

After all, with his and Director Huang Jincheng’s skills, if neither of them can manage it, it’s unlikely any other doctor nationwide could.
