After the fuss, Chen Cang returned to the doctors' office, sat down, and poured himself a glass of water.
When he was an intern, Chen Cang was fastidious, thinking the office was unclean. He wouldn't eat in the doctors' office and refused to bring a cup to the hospital.
To keep his girlfriend's innocence, he washed his hands dozens of tis a day until they were almost raw.
But over ti, life cured him of these finicky habits.
Sotis he thought the greatest scalpel was ti, the butcher's knife.
He took a sip of water and composed himself.
A man ca over, pulled up a chair close to Chen Cang, and after sitting down, smiled and gave a thumbs up, saying,
"Doctor Chen, I admire you!"
Chen Cang turned around, saw the man, and smiled, "Doctor He, are you on duty today?"
He Zhengzhi smiled, "What duty? Overti!"
"I just heard Yang Hongi talking about you, Doctor Chen, saying you're really tough! I'm impressed!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Cang couldn't help but smile, "I was anxious at the ti. You know how it is in the ergency departnt; the last thing we need during a rescue is soone nagging endlessly. Besides, you're a nurse from another team, criticizing my dication protocol—like I'd put up with that?"
"If I listened to you and the patient had an issue afterward, would you be responsible like you're implying?"
Chen Cang was also a bit agitated and couldn't help but voice his frustration.
Ergency work is inherently a race against death. What's needed is unity between dical staff, racing against the clock, with the doctor as the keystone.
He Zhengzhi nodded and sighed regretfully, "Exactly, we're here to learn and improve, not to be mistreated!"
"Normally, the senior doctors don't say much, but you, a nurse, criticize all the ti."
"If it were in my departnt, I would've cursed them out already."
He Zhengzhi's words made Chen Cang smile. He was a few years older than Chen Cang, about thirty-three or thirty-four, an ergency surgeon from Behe Province People's Hospital, and he was going to take the exam for associate senior position that year.
The hospital valued him greatly, saying that after a year of advanced studies, once he passed the associate senior level, they'd hire him.
Chen Cang smiled, "You've had it tough!"
He Zhengzhi chuckled bitterly, "Tell about it. Why did I end up in group four? But my supervisor is nice to and always takes along for surgeries."
He Zhengzhi was acting as the attending physician now, not responsible for external ergency aid, but mainly involved in observing surgeries and taking care of hospitalized patients.
There were quite a few visiting doctors in the departnt, plus intern doctors, residency program students, master and Ph.D. students—adding it all up, they outnumbered the doctors by double.
This is the capital, after all!
Don't think coming here for advanced studies is easy. The majority from county or city hospitals usually only go up to provincial hospitals for further study.
And now, provincial hospital doctors coming for advanced studies often have to manage their own affairs, contacting hospitals on their own.
Could you even manage to get into hospitals like Xiehe by yourself?
Clearly not very realistic.
So, when coming out for advanced studies, everyone keeps a low profile. Opportunities are hard to co by, so if you have to swallow so pride, so be it. The studies usually last about half a year, so it's not too long.
We're all adults, who hasn't learned to endure life's lessons?
However, Chen Cang's arrival brought a glimr of hope to these people.
After all, in just over half a month, he had been granted prescription authority, surgery rights, and shifts... and most importantly, compensation.
How is that any different from being employed?
It's basically the sa as being on contract!
So, Chen Cang instantly beca the focus of the group.
This gave everyone hope that as long as you're capable, Director Yu wouldn't care whether you're a visiting doctor or not!
He Zhengzhi smiled, "Forget it, just endure it; it'll pass. If it wasn't for not wanting to disrupt normal work, I'd have kicked up a fuss by now. Alright, I'm off to do so dressing changes, Doctor Chen, you're busy."
Chen Cang nodded with a smile.
Adults understand each other without words. Getting into the hospital was already a favor; nobody wanted to start trouble.
After He Zhengzhi left, Chen Cang thought about what Ma Yuehui had said today, and his mind beca active.
This year couldn't be wasted.
Clinical practice must not be neglected!
Nor could research fall by the wayside!
With the capital's ergency center as a platform, it was easy to conduct research and produce results.
With his high level of research skills and excellent data analysis, it would be a waste not to make full use of them.
And more importantly!
There was research funding!
The 2 million in research funds from Group Leader Ma—as he said, what difference did it make from his own?
Moreover, it was expiring in August, so it was ti to get busy.
But before that, he needed to get the project brief from Group Leader Ma to see if there were any specific rules to heed to avoid rejection later on.
When it was nearly ti to get off work, Ma Yuehui ca back.
Chen Cang eagerly went to him, "Group Leader Ma, can you show the task book you submitted for the subject? I want to see what I can do."
Ma Yuehui cheerfully replied, "I have a photo; I'll send it directly to your WeChat."
...
...
Chen Cang purposely lagged an hour after getting off work, then went to check on the man's condition. Seeing that he had fully recovered and was sitting up in bed, filming himself with a cara, it seed he was recording a video.
"Hello everyone, I'm your friend Pot Kid; it's an honor to say once again, we et!"
"This eting really wasn't easy, only with the help of dical personnel did I get dragged back from death's doorstep!"
"This episode was supposed to feature a video of eating pufferfish, but things went south, putting even my life at risk."
"I didn't want to share sothing so embarrassing, but... I think I should speak up as a reminder and warning for everyone."
Watching the man speak, Chen Cang also let out a sigh of relief. Perhaps such statents and dissemination would have a positive impact.
Seeing Chen Cang, the man grinned, "Doctor Chen!"
Chen Cang nodded with a smile, "Recording a video?"
The man nodded awkwardly, "Yes, thank you, Doctor Chen, I'm much better now."
Chen Cang shook his head, "No worries, you should be able to be discharged after observation tomorrow."
"By the way, based on this case, I might write a paper and have it published in a journal."
Upon hearing this, the man's eyes brightened, "Doctor Chen, you must tell when it's out. I'll add it to my video—no one will doubt its authenticity..."
"Don't worry, I won't use it to purposely chase viral trends."
"All earnings from the video will go to charity!"
"I've suddenly realized that our value lies not only in entertainnt but also in guiding and spreading so healthy ssages..."
Having survived such an ordeal, the man seed to have understood many things.
Chen Cang smiled and said nothing more, "Get so rest."
With that, he got up and left.
