However, the two operating rooms on the fifth and sixth floors were not enough for the orthopedics department at the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, as they were in constant demand.
The hospitalization department was also overcrowded, with inpatients needing to queue up, as well as those awaiting surgery. Some critically ill patients, unable to wait any longer, had to stay in places like corridors or dressing rooms.
The level of busyness and congestion was comparable to that of Emergency Departments in some hospitals, or even worse.
Du Heng, as the Dean of the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital, envied this scene, to the point of drooling.
But as a doctor, as a person, he was not willing to see such overcrowding.
Du Heng stepped out of the crowd and walked up the stairs.
The stairway was quiet and cool, but few family members chose to use it, and it had become a place for caregivers to catch their breath.
