Top Neurosurgeon's Departure Prompts Former Hospital to Deploy Veteran Team

A prominent neurosurgeon, Li Weiyu, has departed from the Li Ho Medical Foundation in Dajia after his contract was not renewed, signaling a shift in local medical expertise. Li, a well-regarded figure in neurosurgery for the Taichung coastal region, is set to join Asia University Hospital's Fengyuan branch as the deputy superintendent of the spine department. His departure after 30 years at the familiar Li Ho Medical Foundation has caused a stir among patients in the Dajia and Yuanli areas, many of whom have expressed their reluctance to see him go on social media. In response to Li's departure, the Li Ho Medical Foundation has announced a strategic move to bolster its neurosurgical services. The hospital stated it will be bringing in a specialized team from the Department of Neurosurgery at Taichung Veterans General Hospital to provide consultations. This team includes prominent figures such as Dr. Zou Xikai, deputy director of the neurosurgery center and head of the neurosurgery department at Taichung Veterans General Hospital, alongside other department-level specialists. The hospital emphasized its commitment to continuing to care for the neurological health of the coastal community, assuring patients that they will still have access to high-level medical care.

I am very reluctant to leave this familiar workplace after 30 years.
