Chapter 376: [376] Being cared for by the older generation Chapter 376: [376] Being cared for by the older generation âIn any case, now that itâs been found, the most important thing is to get it treated properly.â
âWhen is the surgery planned, Director Zheng?â
âWe are arranging it for next Monday or Tuesday. Her preoperative examinations should be completed within these two days. We also want to solve this problem for her as soon as possible so that she wonât have to keep worrying about it,â Director Zheng said.
âShe was notified yesterday evening and was immediately arranged for hospitalization; she didnât come over until late last night after packing up at home. She might have felt a bit upset sleeping here alone last night. Now that you, the director and the professors, have come to see her personally, I can see her mood has improved a lot,â the head nurse added, âEven Dr. Xie came over. I heard her husband will come to stay with her after arranging for their child, so I think she will feel even better.â
Li Qiaowenâs expression had indeed become much more cheerful.
âRest well, the best doctors in our department will perform your surgery on Monday or Tuesday. Donât worry, the surgery shouldnât be too complicated,â a few senior professors said, setting the tone.
Now, the group of nurses standing outside the room were also buoyed by the good news about their colleague.
âHead nurse, stay and keep her company,â Director Zheng instructed.
âSheâs one of our own, of course weâll keep plenty of company,â the head nurse readily agreed.
After seeing the patient, the doctors left the ward.
Xie Wanying was just about to sneak back to her own department.
âDr. Xie, come, come,â Director Zheng beckoned to her.
When called by a leader, Xie Wanying had no choice but to walk over.
âThis is Professor Zhang, a senior teacher from your eight-year program,â Director Zheng introduced.
Professor Zhang was the only one among the three professors who didnât wear glasses, and his gaze was sharp.
âIf we donât count the eight-year program, you have even more seniors here, a whole row of them,â Director Zheng continued.
General Surgery Department One wasnât like General Surgery Department Two, with a large number of doctors from other medical colleges; it was the pure territory of the Guoxie Sect.
âProfessor, teachers,â Xie Wanying nodded and bowed in greeting to all the seniors.
âWhom are you learning from now?â the three senior professors asked her about her situation.
âTeacher Tan.â
Hearing her answer, the three professors started discussing among themselves:
âShe means Tan Kelin, doesnât she?â
âTan Kelin is good at laparoscopic techniques.â
âHowever, Iâve heard he is not very easy to get along with.â
âHow do you know? Have you ever spoken to him?â
âDifferent departments, but youâve seen what heâs like during the internal exchange meetings in the hospital before, havenât you?â
âHe was quite polite when he came to greet me.â
âSpeaking of which, wasnât it you who agreed to hire him when he applied to our hospital after graduation?â
âDoctor, the most important thing is the skill level. As for other things, like personality, some people are just that way. But it doesnât matter. Maybe when we get old, like us, weâll become better at chatting,â said one of the professors.
âIsnât that right, a bunch of young doctors?â The senior professors, while speaking, caught a glimpse of a group of young lads and ladies snickering.
The youngsters, freshly clad in white coats, quickly tightened their facial expressions to demonstrate a rigorous professionalism.
As a senior from the same school, Professor Zhang took a more detailed interest in Xie Wanying: âTell me, how is it going with Dr. Tan?â
âIâve learned a lot of knowledge and practical operations from Teacher Tan,â Xie Wanying honestly replied.
The senior professors, with their piercing gaze, pointed at her and said, âLook at how clever she is; she would learn well from anyone.â
