Chapter 19: 0018 Trauma Emergency Center

Yesterday’s battle shot him to fame.

“Hello, Senior Brother!”

In the corridor, whenever the young doctors see Yang Ping, they would respectfully greet him.

If Yang Ping decides to change a patient’s medication by himself, pushing the medical cart, and a resident doctor sees him, they immediately rush over: “Senior Brother, I’ll do it, I’ll do it, you rest.”

Director Han, who had apparently taken a round from the administrative building, returned and saw Yang Ping coming out of the ward. He gestured for Yang Ping to come to his office.

He made a cup of tea and handed it to Yang Ping, who was astonished and immediately held it with both hands, “Director, please don’t bother.”

Director Han sat down and said, “There’s some good news, do you want to know in advance?”

“What news?” Yang Ping wondered what Director Han was implying.

He lightly and rhythmically tapped his fingers on the office desk, humming what sounded like Beijing opera.

What kind of news would make this man in his fifties as excited as a child?

After humming a piece from the opera “Shajia Bang”, Director Han took a sip of his Longjing tea and said: “Our hospital is preparing to establish a Trauma Emergency Center. Dean Xia just spoke with me. This center will be led by our Orthopedics department, and involve the neurosurgery, chest surgery, general surgery, urological surgery, ICU, and Rehabilitation departments.”

“Trauma Emergency Center?”

“Yes, it is a big system, interdisciplinary, specifically for large-scale, complex, serious, and critical trauma patients, such as traffic accidents, high falls, major safety accidents, like amputations, multiple complex fractures, severe open wounds, life-threatening pelvic fractures, and so on. In order to improve the efficiency and success rate of treatment, the patient will have a dedicated channel, process, team, and ward as soon as they arrive at the hospital. They will be quickly sent to the operating room for surgery and will get the best care and treatment post-surgery.”

“Our surgical team will be the heart of the Trauma Orthopedics department, especially my group and Tian Yuan’s. The ICU will establish a Trauma ICU. The chest, general and urological surgeries will be responsible for setting up a chest and abdominal trauma surgical group. The neurosurgery will be responsible for establishing a cranio-cerebral trauma surgical group. The Trauma Emergency Center has not been established due to various reasons. I have repeatedly urged Dean Xia, and this time the hospital board has finally made up their minds.”

“The emergency department will admit patients, specialist departments will be responsible for the surgery, ICU will then take over post-surgery, when stable, the patients will be transferred back to the general ward, and finally, they will go to the Rehabilitation department for rehabilitation training. In addition to our regular work, we will also be in charge of these trauma surgeries. I’ve already adjusted your position to attending physician. For now, you can perform finger amputation replant surgeries. As for other responsibilities, I’ll figure it out slowly. For the time being, you’ll only focus on finger replant surgeries. I want to break into this field through finger replantation surgeries. Speaking of which, Song Zimo brought Zhang Lin to his team, so we need to find someone to assist you. Who would be suitable?”

Yang Ping quietly listened. He made up his mind to seize this opportunity. It was a rare one. Once he could show his advantage in limb replantation, he could possibly develop in the field of trauma orthopedic surgery, or else he’d remain where he was.

“What do you think? Do you have any requests? Just name them.” Director Han was very forthright.

Yang Ping thought of Little Five, and immediately said: “Director, I have a request. I have a former colleague who is a resident doctor. He was my partner for many years. Now, he is in the emergency department. Can he be transferred to our department?”

“What’s his name?” asked Director Han.

“Lu Xiaowu, his surgical skills are not bad, he used to assist me in surgeries. He’s quick-witted, has strong communication skills, and is efficient.” Yang Ping replied.

“Hey, Old Xiong, it’s Han Jiangong. We talked about establishing a Trauma Emergency Center together, right? Well, here’s the thing, I want to pull one of your people to our side, Lu Xiaowu, from your Emergency department.” Director Han immediately made a call.

Director Xiong, whose real name is Xiong Sihai, graduated from the military medical academy. With his robust body, he’s one of the three “tough guys” in Sanbo Hospital, standing 1.92 meters tall. After twenty years of weight-lifting, he’s full of muscles and quite imposing in every aspect.

Speaking of Sanbo’s three tough guys, one of them is Dean Xia Changjiang, who stands at 1.88 meters and has a background in general surgery. He’s an imposing figure who moves like a walking iron tower.

Then there’s Cai Junsheng from the Pediatrics department, also 1.88 meters tall, with sturdy limbs. Such a physique, and he’s working in pediatrics. It’s surprising that children don’t burst into tears when they see him.

It’s rumored that Cai Junsheng has an extremely gentle personality, like a girl. Imagine, a 1.88 meter-tall man with a feminine air – enough to make you wanna puke.

As for Xiong Sihai, once a bunch of medical troublemakers rushed into the emergency department. Xiong Sihai stood in the middle of the hall like a giant, his voice as loud as a bell. He roared so hard, even Zhang Fei of the Battle of Changban would be scared. The group of troublemakers trembled and scattered like birds and beasts.

Imagine a man standing 1.92 meters tall, not skinny but also tall, physically developed in every direction. Isn’t this a real-life version of Dwayne Johnson?

Xiong Sihai and Han Jiangong were very close friends, often drinking together, proclaiming their brotherhood.

“Lu Xiaowu, the new guy, Old Han, your eyes are poisonous, you poached my treasure. I’m telling you, this kid not only does his job well and quickly, but he also has a clever mind. With his talkative mouth, he can talk his way out of any situation. Now, for any difficult patients in our emergency department, he takes the lead. Where did you hear about him?” Xiong Sihai’s large hand made the Huawei Mate in his hand look like a small toy.

“Cut the crap, will you let him go or not!” Director Han cuts right to the chase.

“Bro, you poached my man and won’t even let me speak. Only you, Han Jiangong, would dare bully me like this. When should he report to your department? You owe me a drink, just to let you know.” Xiong Sihai was absolutely clear about everything.

“Tomorrow, no, right now, right now. Have him pack up his things and come over. I’ll go and talk to HR about the procedures. As for the drink, with your capacity, we better not even speak of the word ‘drink.'” Director Han banged the table.

“Don’t you get cocky, I’m busy now, I won’t talk with you any more. I’m leaving him to you, and don’t forget about the drink.” Xiong Sihai’s face turned red as he hung up the phone, his voice booming like thunder.

“Did you hear that? I got him for you. You better do a good job. Be on call 24/7. Let me know if you need to go out. Where do you live?”

“Across the street, go over the overpass.”

“Very Good. A phone call and you could be here in minutes.”

“As for the salary, rest assured, the hospital has policies. There are special channels for special talents, and I will apply to increase your salary.”

“In addition, the nurses in the operating room also need to establish a specific team. The head nurse asked me to nominate, and I think Su Yixuan is good. The girl is an undergraduate and has undergone training at Magic City Sixth Hospital and Jishuitan in Beijing. What do you think?”

Su Yixuan, perfect for the operating station, remembering her eyes, Yang Ping actually felt a bit blush.

“Yes, she was with me at the operating station last time, very proficient.” Yang Ping replied.

Director Han immediately said, “Well, let’s settle for this young lady first, I’ll think about the rest.”

Knock, knock, knock, there was a knock at the door.

Upon opening the door, a mischievous and smiling face of Lu Xiaowu stretched in, “Director Han, hello, Director Xiong asked me to report to you.”

“Just him?”

“Just him!” Yang Ping nodded his head.

Little Five surreptitiously gave Yang Ping a thumbs-up. Director Han said, “Come on in, Lu Xiaowu. I’ll tell you, Yang Ping personally recommended you. Work hard, don’t tarnish his reputation. Specific tasks will be delegated by Yang Ping to you later.”

Lu Xiaowu came in, “Director, rest assured, I will definitely work hard.”

These few days, Director Han was incredibly busy, running around with Dean Sun and Xiong Sihai.

A few days later, the plaque of the “Trauma Emergency Center” was put up at the entrance of the emergency department. Dedicated telephones and internet lines connecting the emergency department, the various departments, the ICU of Trauma and the operating room were also launched. Various rules and procedures were being implemented. Material was ready and staff were being mobilized and organized, everything was in place.

Director Han looked at the three big characters “Trauma Emergency Center” on the plaque, touching his forehead, looked left and right, and couldn’t hide his smile.

Yang Ping felt a sense of urgency, because the only thing he was very good at now was reattaching severed limbs. When the Trauma Emergency Center would open, there wouldn’t only be severed limbs to reattach. There would be all kinds of injuries, all of them critical. Fortunately, the task that Director Han assigned him for now was concentrating on severed limb reattachment.

He had to seize this time to enhance his skills in trauma orthopedics.

After all, limb reattachment was just a surgery that belonged to the department of hand surgery, and hand surgery was just a branch of trauma orthopedics.
