Chapter 2399: Let’s See
Senior Yoo saw him like this and recalled the past, saying to him, "Back then, when Xiaobing chose to be with you, she said what she valued most was your broad-minded optimism."
Unintentionally hearing the reason why his wife liked him, Zhu Huicang’s eyes behind his glasses brightened up.
"I remember Senior Yoo was on night shift last week, another night shift this week?" Luo Jingming, who had met Senior Yoo before being at Shou’er, asked.
"The whole month is night shifts." Senior Yoo explained, "PICU here is also short-staffed, can’t even schedule the shifts properly."
It’s said that the ICU, within the few profitable departments of internal medicine, is too exhausting and not many doctors prefer it. People generally prefer less money but easier jobs, rather than selling their lives for a bit more money.
PICU is exhausting to a level that at Shou’er, unlike Guoxie where there aren’t many major pediatric surgeries, a lot of critically ill children, just like adults, are connected to many machines.
"Our hospital really doesn’t perform as many pediatric surgeries as others." After being here for almost a year, Senior Yoo had to admit her hospital’s shortcomings in this aspect, and the gap with the other hospital was too big.
As they chatted, Senior Yoo asked Cao Yong and the others, "Why are you here? Do you know someone undergoing surgery inside?"
This matter could be a long story.
Hearing them say Junior Xie Wanying was inside helping out, Senior Yoo immediately expressed, "I’ve long wanted to meet her, but never managed to, wonder what kind of luck that is."
This point Xie Wanying definitely deeply resonated with. Even from the start of her internship, Senior Kang kept mentioning Senior Yoo, this legendary figure, but until now, a week into being at Shou’er, they’ve yet to meet.
"You’ll get to see her later." The group comforted Senior Yoo, understanding her eagerness to meet the junior.
When saying later, everyone knew this later was going to be by dawn. Senior Yoo decisively went into the operating room to observe the patient and sneak a peek at the legendary junior.
Parting ways with a few junior colleagues, Senior Yoo alone pushed open the surgery room door and went in.
A few young doctors washed their hands and went on stage, suddenly finding themselves becoming the main characters.
Student Pan Shihua, his eyes showing above the surgical mask, glanced left and right, confirming whether he was placed at the wrong position: one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three—indeed, someone was not there.
Where has that person gone, why aren’t they here? Initially, he estimated he’d be in the third assistant position, now he’s in the second assistant position, the expected second assistant Student Xie has become the first assistant, and First Assistant Student Duan has become the Chief Surgeon. So the person everyone assumed was the Chief Surgeon stood next to the operating table.
What does it imply? It implies their mentor, the original Chief Surgeon, presumed this surgery wasn’t difficult, and the reputed talented practicing physician could lead the surgery with them, the two interns assisting.
Oh my. Student Pan Shihua, having been at Guoxie, had never encountered such ’aggressive’ teachers, he genuinely felt a bit frightened.
It’s impossible for there to be no such ’aggressive’ instructors at Guoxie. Xie Wanying encountered the same situation in Hepatobiliary Surgery. Back then, Senior Tao equally let her and Doctor Song do it, even attempting challenging surgeries. It’s merely that Student Pan hadn’t spent time with Doctor Song, otherwise, he might have had similar experiences.
Teachers have always been hands-off with talented medical students. Because if you have talent, what the teacher fears isn’t your lack of ability, but your lack of courage to take action.
