Chapter 262 - 262 Considerations of the Teachers

Chapter 262: Considerations of the Teachers Chapter 262: Considerations of the Teachers “Dr. Tan, Dr. Xie had already come by to check this morning,” the family member stressed the previous request.

After all, having a doctor show early concern for a patient and their family is crucial, as families also need comforting. Who cares whether the doctor is just an intern or a trainee? Even though they are just trainees, the family member knows that they understand more about the patient’s issues than the family does and that they can reach the senior doctors faster than a family member could.

Hearing what the family member said, it was clear that this family of the patient in bed 3 had been in the hospital for a long time and had become savvy, knowing some of the ins and outs of the hospital.

The corners of the mouths of the three in-house doctors turned up subtly.

One was 28 years old, the other 21. Why did the 21-year-old understand the patient’s family nuances better than the 28-year-old? It could only be that each individual’s thoughts differ.

Tan Kelin put his stethoscope back into his white coat pocket and said to the family member of bed 3, “I’ll get back to you later.”

“Thank you, Dr. Tan. Sometimes it’s really painful for us when we can’t find a doctor,” the family member revealed their inner feelings.

Luo Yanfen stood outside the door, sticking her head in to argue with the family member, “Haven’t I told you? You can tell the nurse, and the nurse will let me know to come over. I’ve never said you shouldn’t look for me.”

“The nurse said they called you and told you, but sometimes we wait all day and still don’t see you come by,” the family member complained when she retorted, “We thought our ward didn’t have a doctor anymore.”

“How could that be possible!”

In any case, the family of the patient harbored a lot of resentment. On the other hand, a certain medical student felt extremely wronged by the family’s accusation.

Before, there were no such complaints from families, so why were there now? Because now there was something to compare against.

Not every medical student thinks they need to be responsible for patients. Some medical students think that their internship is for learning skills, and issues of patient responsibility should be handled by the department doctors and are not their concern.

Finishing the tasks assigned by the teacher was enough; anything more was unnecessary. Even if they put in their best effort, they wouldn’t be able to retain their jobs. Guoxie couldn’t even keep their own undergraduates trained, let alone these outsiders joining. They came here to learn skills and use the internship hospital as a stepping stone, with no financial incentive to serve the patients to the best of their ability. So, they left soon after finishing their tasks, not keen to communicate more with patients and their families.

Because of this attitude, even checking whether the patients had eaten something before surgery in the morning had to be confirmed by the in-house doctors themselves, unless there were students whom the teachers trusted a lot.

After checking the patients in his group and leaving the ward, Tan Kelin had a profound expression on his face.

Luo Yanfen, trailing at the very end, observed his expression carefully and said, “Teacher Tan, there’s been a misunderstanding between me and the family. I’ll clear it up.”

“Put her in charge of bed 3,” Liu Chengran stated directly.

Switching an intern to handle the bed was an easy solution to a family’s request, so why not give in to prevent the family from complaining? That’s certainly what the in-house doctors must have been thinking.

“I—” Luo Yanfen’s lips trembled with frustration, unable to understand how her hard work led to this outcome, as the family member from bed 3 seemed ungrateful.

Noticing her expression, Tan Kelin spoke up, “Let Xie Wanying also take care of bed 7.”

What? The male Ph.D. student, Li Wenhao, who was in charge of bed 7, was taken aback. What’s going on? There had been no complaints about bed 7, right?

Luo Yanfen felt a bit of balance returning to her heart.

“She’s here, so you’ll need to hand over some of your beds to her. Otherwise, how will she complete her rotation?” Sun Yubo said to the three of them.

Xie Wanying stood by, knowing that she shouldn’t speak at this moment, as the teachers were trying their best for her sake.

Interpersonal relationships within the department are very important; it’s essential to strive for the greatest possible harmony.
