Director Rong Xuekai of the Critical Care Medicine Department at People's Hospital is undoubtedly a doctor of great capability. Though originally a barefoot doctor and now quite advanced in age, his medical skills have been honed repeatedly through practice and learning.
Talent like him can be found in major hospitals.
However, many doctors face a narrow path to advancement, and few are as fortunate as he is.
Many practical doctors find themselves stuck on the path of career progression due to lagging behind in academia and research.
From what Li Jingsheng knows, the First Hospital has several senior attending physicians like this. They may have decent skills but can't compete with young people who have a high educational background when it comes to promotions. In the end, they end up being managed by those who emphasize academics and research.
