Red envelopes are useless. Where would you even go to give a bribe to the leadership? First of all, you need to know the leader personally to give a bribe.

From the current situation, it can be seen how tight the bed availability is at Shou’er, even worse than at Guoxie, to the point where ordinary doctors have no authority over bed assignments.

"No need for bribes," Xie Wanying confidently told her classmate. Giving bribes would harm the integrity of practicing doctors. Moreover, the hospital and doctors won’t just let a person die. At most, the child would stay in the emergency room first, waiting for a bed.

Hu Hao couldn’t accept this: "Wait for a bed? Isn’t it a lung infection? How long are you doctors planning for my son to wait?"

"He won’t be untreated."

"How will he be treated? Didn’t they say so? If the underlying issue isn’t resolved, how will his lung infection get better? He’s very fragile; he was just born. What if the infection spreads throughout his body?"

Her classmate, just as she thought, wasn’t uneducated or ignorant, with high college entrance exam scores and high intelligence, understanding much from just one sentence the doctor said. This shows why even highly educated people sometimes cause disturbances in hospitals – simple explanations from doctors can’t reassure them.

The child’s parents were making a fuss, and nearby medical staff could hear it.

Doctor Tian knew this was troublesome. Saying this child was serious but not the most critical, therefore needing to give way to other kids. Saying this child wasn’t severe still didn’t rule out becoming critical. Of course, according to doctors, it’s not too late to treat later. But parents wouldn’t accept this situation. Their own child is the most important; they can’t care about other kids’ lives.

"Can you doctors guarantee it? Can you absolutely guarantee that my son can wait?" Hu Hao asked.

No doctor would dare to give such assurance.

This is how medical resource crunches happen. When facing a near boat capsize, everyone fights to get on the lifeboat. You may sacrifice yourself by not going, but no parent would accept not letting their child get on the lifeboat.

"Do you know any leaders?" Luo Jingming could only quietly ask Doctor Tian.

Doctor Tian shrugged his shoulders. Like Luo Jingming, an ordinary doctor generally doesn’t have the ability to befriend the leadership.

The family overestimates the ordinary doctors in the hospital. Ordinary doctors are like just workers. If the leader gave every employee a green light, as soon as any employee asked, immediately gave them a bed, there wouldn’t be enough to cater to all employee connections.

An ordinary employee has only one way to become friends with the leadership. It’s the same reasoning as in other companies. Only when the hospital can’t do without you, and the leadership needs to give you face, then your words would be valued.

Doctor Tian admitted that their skills weren’t extraordinary enough for leadership to cherish them, and in fact, ninety-nine percent of hospital staff lack this ability.

The top one percent doesn’t include her, Doctor Tian.

Doctor Tian asked Luo Jingming, "Or else, you contact your leadership?"

Luo Jingming thought, saying something himself might be less effective than his junior sister.

Doctor Tian remembered her student, pointing at Dai Nanhui, "Isn’t his mother the department leader in your hospital?"

The opportunity arose. Dai Nanhui was ready, waiting for Senior Luo to instruct him to call his mom.

Luo Jingming didn’t go to him for a simple reason: if you truly care for the juniors, you can’t let them rely on connections. This would give them the wrong impression that their medical career could depend on their mother.
