Chapter 59

Everyone knew that the hospital had already drafted the discussion document, and the encouragement for doctors to engage in research and publish articles had become a settled matter. No matter how they looked at it, it seemed that these young, well-educated Ph.D. holders had a significant advantage. It was as if the hospital was giving them an additional high salary. Among the rewards, the incentives for SCI and EI indexed articles were the highest, followed by core journals, and ordinary journals were just for show.

Everyone was discussing the matter, but they also knew that the situation was already decided. Why make the dean have a bad impression of them? They also understood that the central hospital would not raise salaries in the short term. The benefits that originally belonged to all medical staff would now be concentrated on those who could secure projects and write articles.

Cheng Guanhua helplessly patted the discussion document on scientific research rewards, and the A4 paper rustled.

Pan Jieyun smiled and said, "Old Cheng, what do you think?"

Cheng Guanhua shook his head, "What can I think? This is a trend to let the younger generation push us old guys out of the game."

"Ah, it's the same across the country now. Papers decide everything. Catch up with Japan and South Korea, surpass Europe and America. But can the number of papers represent medical skills? There is a huge gap between our medical technology and that of Europe and America. There are also many problems in talent cultivation. Now, the hospital is pushing for comprehensive research, which is like launching a satellite and exaggerating. It's just a show." Pan Jieyun shook his head. He was an old expert in thoracic surgery and one of the best in the central hospital, but he was not very good at writing papers. This would put more pressure on him in the future.

Cheng Guanhua went straight to the emergency department, where the doctors were all in the office.

"Everyone, come over. I need to convey the new spirit of the hospital." Cheng Guanhua waved his hand to call the young doctors over.

"You've always been complaining about low salaries and few benefits, right? The hospital is preparing to give you young people some benefits." Cheng Guanhua waved the discussion document in his hand.

"Ah! Are we getting a raise? Great!" He Xiaokang thought it was about a salary increase and was very excited.

The other young doctors were not much better than He Xiaokang, and Qin Chuan felt a bit excited.

"This time, it should be at least a thousand or so, right?" Gao Zhanting said. Although a salary increase would not have a significant impact on Gao Zhanting, no one would complain about having more money.

Qin Chuan felt something was not quite right, "Director, if we're getting a raise, why do you look so serious? Could it be that the director will get less than us residents?"

"Heh, you're not easy to fool, young man. With such strong observational skills, no wonder your medical skills have improved so quickly. Qin, last time you brought glory to our hospital, and the hospital will give you some advantages in promotion. However, the hospital now has some rigid regulations for promotions. This is what I want to talk to everyone about today. Qin was right; the hospital is preparing to increase rewards, but only for a certain group of people. Who are they? Those who can write papers and improve the hospital's status. Most of the doctors in our department, except me, are very young. I hope you all focus on improving your medical skills while also writing more papers. For example, Qin, to be promoted to a mid-level position, you need at least two core journal papers. I saw you write many case summaries last time; you can submit them to medical journals." Cheng Guanhua said.

"Oh, it's about this." Everyone was disheartened, except for Wu Xiaoming, who was very excited. His medical skills were average, but he was very good at this.

"This is the discussion document on the scientific research reward plan. If you have any opinions, please submit them to me. I will consolidate and submit them. That's all. Everyone, go back to work. Qin, come to my office for a moment." Cheng Guanhua said.

Everyone looked at Qin Chuan, who had only been at the central hospital for a few months but was already the one Cheng Director called the most.

Qin Chuan went to Cheng Guanhua's office, where Cheng Guanhua casually said, "Sit down. I saw that you have been writing case analyses every day. Can you summarize some papers? Originally, with your performance, you would have been the advanced individual in our department this year. But now that the hospital has this policy, the evaluation might consider research contributions. Also, with your qualifications, you should have no problem being promoted to a mid-level position next year, but there are rigid regulations for papers. So, quickly organize a couple of your case analyses into papers."

"I haven't published papers before and don't have much experience," Qin Chuan said.

"Don't worry. First, read some papers others have written, then write one yourself. If you're not confident, give it to me to review. I can help you modify it. I can also contact some academic journals for you; I have some classmates in the editorial offices." Cheng Guanhua said.

"Alright." Qin Chuan naturally agreed without hesitation.

Qin Chuan returned to the emergency department and pulled up the cases he had handled since he started working. He had organized all the treatment methods and lessons learned very meticulously. In fact, Qin Chuan had planned to do this before, but he thought it would be a few years before he had the chance to apply for a promotion. However, because of the recent incident, he had such a good opportunity so soon.

Writing clinical papers is not difficult. Of course, publishing in better journals is challenging. It's particularly hard to publish high-level articles in the emergency department. Without the "Genius Doctor System," Qin Chuan might not have been able to write meaningful papers. However, the basic rescue techniques he learned from the "Genius Doctor System" included some extremely effective methods for saving lives. Qin Chuan planned to spread these rescue techniques in his papers to save more lives in the future.

"Hey, brat, as soon as the director spoke, you got to work, didn't you?" Gao Zhanting walked behind Qin Chuan and saw him organizing cases, knowing what he was up to.

"Who can I fight with, but not with money, right?" Qin Chuan smiled.

"True. Alright, when you publish the paper, put my name on it," Gao Zhanting said.

"No problem. But, is there any benefit for me?" Qin Chuan smiled.

"Brat, you want to put my name on it and still ask for benefits? Is that how a brother acts? Fine, I'll pay the publication fee," Gao Zhanting said.

"How much is the publication fee? You're such a rich lady!" He Xiaokang teased.

"Get lost. With your skills, putting my name on it might even affect my reputation," Gao Zhanting said, not giving He Xiaokang any face.

He Xiaokang, with a playful smile, naturally didn't take it to heart, "We were once close, don't be so unfriendly, right?"

Gao Zhanting laughed, "You should say that to Fang Ping."

"Sister, I'm afraid of you. You're my sister." This was He Xiaokang's weak point, and Gao Zhanting had hit it, leaving He Xiaokang begging for mercy.

"Brat, with your attitude, you dare to challenge me?" Gao Zhanting laughed.

Wu Xiaoming, in the emergency department, was completely encouraged. No one spoke to him all day. Cheng Guanhua also didn't like him much, but he couldn't do anything because of Deputy Director Zheng. However, occupying a position without doing any work was a thorn in the side of the emergency department.

Wu Xiaoming was extremely excited today, thinking that his good days had finally arrived. He had obtained many cases in the emergency department recently. With a bit of organization, they could become papers. He was a bit jealous of Qin Chuan, who had a lot of first-hand data. If these data were in his hands, he could definitely publish a few good papers. He couldn't understand why Qin Chuan, who spent a lot of time organizing cases and writing insights, kept them to himself.

Wu Xiaoming had tried several times to access Qin Chuan's computer, but it was password-protected. Wu Xiaoming was not a computer expert and had no way to access Qin Chuan's computer.

Wu Xiaoming finished organizing a paper that day. After reviewing it, he thought it was fine and submitted it to a medical journal with less influence. Although he wanted to submit it to a better journal, he knew the quality of his paper. It would be good enough to be accepted. Although the reward was not much, it was better than nothing, and these papers could be used for promotion.

Qin Chuan copied the organized data to a USB drive, planning to take it home to continue writing. These were real situations he had encountered, so he had a lot to write about. With the clever methods he learned from the "Genius Doctor System," the quality of his paper immediately improved.

"It's time to go home. Why aren't you preparing to leave? Your wife Lingling might be waiting." Gao Zhanting reminded Qin Chuan, who was still busy.

Qin Chuan looked at the time and realized it was past the end of his shift, "Oh, it's not easy to focus on work. I didn't notice the time. Well, I'll go home and work on it."

Qin Chuan put the USB drive in his pocket, turned off his computer, and organized the materials on his desk before getting up to leave.

Sure enough, Jiang Lingling was already waiting and walked over to the department, waving at Qin Chuan as soon as she saw him.

"Doctor Qin, where are you planning to go for the National Day holiday?" Jiang Lingling asked, clearly hoping to spend the holiday with Qin Chuan.

However, Qin Chuan didn't understand her intention and honestly told her, "During the National Day, my university classmates are planning to gather in Xingsha. I might go to Xingsha. It's still early, and I don't know if I'll have the time off."

Jiang Lingling had to hide her hopes again.
