16 -16 Overt Conflict and Covert Struggle
Shangjing Hospital was able to become one of the best hospitals in Huaxia, not just because of its superb medical equipment and a large group of outstanding doctors, but also because of its so-called “Medical Seminar” system.
Held every three months, the seminar would summarize the quarter’s work and discuss medical issues related to that period.
Of course, as in any hospital, where there are people, there is strife, and factional struggles within Shangjing Hospital were all too common.
Thus, the quarterly medical seminars also became the perfect opportunity for factions to suppress one another.
Most doctors, influenced by the prevailing culture, were not clean; taking kickbacks, accepting red envelopes, bullying newcomers—corrupt practices were very common.
Nangong Yun, who had returned from studying abroad, detested such behaviors, but despite her desire for change, she was powerless.
She had published some well-known papers and her medical expertise was considerable, but her seniority was lacking and she didn’t have the kind of decisive influence.
If not for some power wielded by Nangong Yun’s father, she, who viewed evil as a sworn enemy, would have likely been ousted from Shangjing Hospital long ago.
So, Nangong Yun was weak; this was something Xiao Yifei only realized when he attended the Medical Seminar as an official doctor for the first time.
This seminar was not attended by Director Fang Yuan who, along with other senior hospital officials, was on an inspection trip in the United States, leaving Ning Yun and two other deputy directors seated at the leadership table.
