We had just seen off the group from the Municipal Bureau when Dean Du arrived.
"Old Li, what's going on? I heard it's because of that case last night?"
"The dean knows too!" Li Chu invited him to sit on the sofa and then made him a cup of tea.
"It's about the case from last night. Qiu Nan and I were the ones who reported it. They came over to take a new statement."
"You two reported this case?" Dean Du asked in surprise.
"It was just a coincidence. I probably ran into the suspect at the alley entrance, and then my dog, who was following closely behind, probably smelled the scent and led me to the victim's door. I could smell blood through the crack in the door, so I ran over and called the police."
"Tsk tsk, I heard more than a dozen people died, is that true?"
Li Chu didn't expect that a high-ranking dean would be so gossipy. He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Not that many, but it's not a small number either. There are six people, both old and young."
"What a beast! People like this should be executed by slow slicing if they're caught!" Dean Du cursed angrily.
Indeed, if all the victims are adults, people might sigh and shake their heads, saying that the world is going to the dogs. But if there are minors among them, then the attitude changes immediately, and no one will not condemn them.
"Old Li, I came to see you today for another matter."
"Dean, please speak!"
"Last week, our hospital committee discussed the reorganization of the various clinical departments. Do you have any suggestions? After all, you've been working at the hospital for almost thirty years, so you should know more about this."
Hospitals nowadays have a very simple departmental structure, basically the same in every hospital: surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, traditional Chinese medicine, that's it.
At most, we can add one more emergency department.
The main hospital also has an infectious disease department. Some hospitals haven't even separated out this department yet.
This creates a situation where, if you're a surgeon, you need to master many more skills, such as neurology, cardiology, thoracic surgery, and oh yes, bone surgery.
At that time, orthopedics had not yet been separated and was included in surgery.
Let's be honest, there are very few people who can master so many surgical procedures; you couldn't possibly learn them all.
The same applies to internal medicine.
General practitioners sound impressive, but in reality, they are jacks-of-all-trades, master of none.
With the rapid development of technology, this type of doctor is no longer in demand.
Li Chu thought for a moment before saying, "Dean, then let me share my thoughts."
"First, there's surgery. I mean, surgery can be divided into neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, orthopedics, and general surgery."
After listening, Dean Du nodded: "Hmm, did you discuss this with Lao Chang?"
"Old Chang? He suggested the same thing? We haven't really discussed it. That's the general idea. There's no point in going into any more detail."
"Can it be divided into even smaller categories?"
"Yes, you can. You can further divide general surgery into urology, proctology, thoracic surgery, and even hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, as well as vascular surgery."
Dean Du's mouth dropped open in astonishment.
He never imagined that a single surgical department could be divided into so many sub-departments.
At that moment, a thought flashed through his mind: how many positions and staff positions would he need to apply for?
"By the way, Dean," Li Chu suddenly thought of something and continued, "If we want to subdivide the departments, we must first separate the anesthesia and operating room from the surgery department."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Dean Du was getting a headache from all this.
"Old Li, could you lend me your pen and paper? I need to write this down. I can't remember anything you're saying."
“Okay,” Li Chu stood up, took a ballpoint pen and a stack of letter paper from his desk, and handed them to Dean Du.
"What you just said was that you wanted to separate the anesthesia and operating room first."
"This is necessary. The surgical department has been divided up. We can't possibly equip every single department with several operating rooms and anesthesiologists."
Dean Du pondered for a moment, then wrote it down on a piece of paper.
"Go on."
"I forgot to mention one more thing: trauma surgery is something we absolutely must develop."
"Yes, yes, we can't forget our primary responsibility. Lao Chang and Lao Song both said that the scale of the emergency department should continue to expand. In our daily drills and training, emergency care should be the top priority."
Emergency care at the main hospital and emergency care at the local level are two completely different concepts; they primarily deal with large-scale disasters and wars.
It's still called the Emergency Department, but it actually has the most staff of all the departments.
Then Li Chu carefully explained his ideas on dividing the departments. Dean Du took a full page of notes.
Of course, this is just his idea. Dean Du still needs to discuss it with other leaders of the institute until a solution that satisfies everyone is found. Only then will it be submitted to the General Logistics Department for approval in the name of the institute committee.
If the approval is granted, the teaching majors at the medical school will be adjusted accordingly, and the medical school's mission will be to cultivate more of the talent needed.
At the same time, medical schools also need to hire relevant professionals from outside to further meet their teaching needs.
By the time Dean Du left Li Chu's office, it was almost lunchtime. He had originally planned to go to his wife's office to wait for her to finish get off work, but when he saw the crowd of onlookers sitting there, he was so frightened that he turned around and left. He could only wander around the courtyard for a while to wait for the end of the workday.
"Woof woof..."
Li Chu, who was lost in thought, was brought back to his senses by a dog barking, and realized that he had already walked to the logistics warehouse.
Two dogs, which were tied up, were jumping and leaping as they tried to get to him.
A man in the warehouse duty room heard the commotion outside and came out. When he saw that it was him, he quickly saluted.
"Hello, Director Li."
"Good, these two little guys still remember me." Li Chu smiled and walked over to pat the two dogs on the head.
They were overjoyed; their tails were wagging so hard they could practically be used as propellers.
These two dogs are descendants of the Monkey King, and they are both two years old. The logistics director asked him for them.
He never comes to the logistics warehouse. The dog was two months old when it was brought here, and it hasn't seen him for two years now, yet it still remembers its original owner.
"Director Li, your dogs are really smart. They can remember almost anything you've seen once. Deputy Director Ding always plays with them for a while whenever he comes over."
"Huh? Aren't they having any more puppies?"
"She gave birth. She had twins last year. Director Qin took one, and Vice President Song took the other. She just had another test last week, but we don't know if she's pregnant yet. But they're already booked."
"Hehe..." Li Chu chuckled. He was happy that his dog's offspring were so popular.
