Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 259 - 153: An Enticing Invitation, the Small Clinic Welcomes a Frenzy (Part 2)

To be promoted to Attending Physician, once the required years of service are met, you just need to apply for the attending exam. After passing, you'll automatically be promoted to the attending title.

However, there is a quota for attendings, associate chief physicians, and chief physicians in the hospital.

Better hospitals may softly persuade some average resident doctors to leave.

Either honestly wait in line for an opportunity or resign and leave.

Except for the well-connected ones.

Some highly capable resident doctors manage to grab a formal position, and with this status, the hospital will surely give them preferential treatment.

Otherwise, if a doctor or nurse with a formal position decides to slack off, even the dean will have a headache.

There are plenty of ways for the leadership to deal with contract workers.

After being given a hard time a few times, they'll naturally leave.

The files of formally employed staff are not kept at the hospital. If they don't resign, who can fire them?

No one has that authority.

And if such a person doesn't care about their future and is determined to slack off, any leader facing them will have a headache.

Others might not dare to confront leadership, but these tough individuals aren't afraid to curse even the dean. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

People are like that, anyway, if they've decided to slack off, if they don't want promotions or a future, what can you do?

Back then, Li Jingsheng's performance at the First Hospital was rather average.

In research, academics, and clinical practice, he was just so-so.

Yet, he thought he was pretty good and very capable. But seeing that the hospital didn't even want to give him an attending offer, and with other bothersome issues, he got angry and resigned to open a clinic.

Even though his abilities were average in all aspects, his self-esteem was quite strong.

Watching his classmates one by one being promoted to attending, advancing towards associate chief, how could he not be anxious?

In administration, some peers were already deputy section chiefs, section chiefs.

Those with family support, doing pharmaceutical business, earned three to four million a year, living in villas, driving luxury cars, and switching pretty girls every few days; whenever Li Jingsheng saw them on the road, he quickly avoided them.

Afraid of being recognized by them.

Why?

Because he's not doing well while they're so outstanding, it feels embarrassing!

Who likes watching classmates flaunt their superiority in front of them?

"As long as you agree to join our Orthopedic Surgery Department, I can promise to arrange for you to receive the attending physician offer before the end of the year. By the way, have you passed the attending exam?"

Director Hua made an offer that made Li Jingsheng breathe heavily and his heart race.

Being appointed as an attending physician at a hospital is the dream of many doctors!

Although the Second Hospital is weaker than the First Hospital, it's still a top-tier hospital.

It's far stronger than any regional secondary hospital.

"I passed the attending exam, but I couldn't get the hospital's offer."

Li Jingsheng's face turned hot.

His past self indeed had a bit of a rough time.

It couldn't be helped; his abilities were limited, and he didn't have any support.

Plus, with his strong self-esteem, he was unwilling to do any flattery or sycophancy.

So, none of the good opportunities in the department ever came his way, only the dirty and tiring jobs were left for him.

It's basically the same in any unit.

Good people get bullied and suffer; it's almost a universal social phenomenon.

"No problem. As long as you agree, I guarantee you'll successfully get the attending position by the end of the year. By then, you'll be a formal attending physician."

Director Hua could see the excitement deep in Li Jingsheng's eyes.

"I can't work at the clinic for three days a week. It's not feasible, definitely not feasible."

After struggling for a moment, Li Jingsheng chose to give up.

Lest he ends up neglecting both ends.

First, he should work hard on the clinic, earn some money, and the remaining matters of title evaluation still have plenty of opportunities.

"Do you know how beneficial it is for you to hold a position at the Second Hospital?"

Director Hua continued to persuade him.

"To become a full-time hospital employee, you need to work at the hospital for at least three days a week, and that's with special treatment, special favors to get this opportunity."

This was indeed very tempting.

Other graduate students might not even get into the Second Hospital.

Yet he could directly enter a relatively good orthopedic surgery department, with only three workdays a week.

Enough to make many people envious.

Probably only those well-connected slackers wouldn't envy this.

"With this status, you can normally get promoted like a regular doctor and get your titles evaluated. Also, in South City, no place is easy to deal with, let alone Old Street of South City, which is quite fierce. Once you become a doctor at the Second Hospital, and an attending level at that, peers on that street and even in the broader South City area will respect you more. There shouldn't be any peer daring to mess with you."

Director Hua wasn't just any department head for nothing.

He was quite familiar with the environment in South City.

He even knew how brutal the Old Street of South City could be.

With someone as tough as Boss Zhao on Old Street, it's truly not easy for ordinary people to make a living in the medical field there.

Moreover, Boss Zhao isn't just fighting alone; he's intricately connected with Station Chief Qiao. If he causes trouble, who can withstand him?

Newbies often end up failing almost every time they try.

No one knows how many new clinics have closed in the past twenty years on Old Street.

If it weren't for the attribute panel, Li Jingsheng would have mostly failed as well.

"Also, I can tell from your eyes that you're an ambitious person. Having lofty ambitions is a good thing, but you must pair them with the proper status to make them a reality. There's a world of difference between a resident physician and a chief physician, just as there is between having no position and having a certain rank. And as for those special honorary titles, there's even less to say about them.
