Chapter 412 - 412 412 Teachers and students should be considerate of

Chapter 412: [412] Teachers and students should be considerate of each other Chapter 412: [412] Teachers and students should be considerate of each other Director Jiang had a prestigious position but was very kind. He sat down with them for a lengthy, earnest conversation, saying to the two of them, “I was a bit worried about you both, but now that I’ve walked over here and listened to you talk, I can rest reassured.”

Could it be that a school teacher was actually worried about her? Lau Jingyun finally felt a warmth in her heart.

Director Jiang’s hand patted the shoulders of the students reassuringly. Then, looking at the student Xie Wanying, who seemed not to need comforting, he asked, “How do you feel about being criticized by a teacher, are you unhappy?”

Unhappy about what? If the teachers scold someone it’s only because they are scared and upset. If Xie Wanying were in their shoes, she figured she would probably have exploded too. Besides, the teachers never verbally abused them, they were just anxious at most.

When Lau Jingyun heard her junior sister say that, she thought it made sense: even when Senior Brother Huang was anxious with her, it was out of concern.

When Director Jiang saw that there were medical students who could understand the concerns of clinical teachers, he was quite surprised.

Being a teacher at a medical college, the most common complaint they received from students was that clinical teachers were not considerate enough. Then, these medical students, upon becoming clinical teachers themselves, might one day realize they were no different from their former teachers, scolding students impulsively.

Medicine is not like other professions; it involves life-and-death situations. Clinical novices often make mistakes carelessly, and even the teachers can overlook things. Scolding is necessary because they fear the students won’t remember the lessons. Without the experience, the students wouldn’t know that it could truly result in death.

By the time someone dies, it’s already too late for regrets.

“Each matter on its own merit. Tonight the three of you saved a lot of people. You deserve to be commended,” Director Jiang encouraged them.

“We hadn’t thought about being commended,” Xie Wanying and Lau Jingyun honestly replied, thrilled to have been able to save people. Commendations didn’t matter. As doctors, there was only one goal: to be able to save people.

Director Jiang smiled and patted their shoulders again.

Footsteps thudded down the stairwell, the two of them racing to the operating room door. They pushed the emergency bell and knocked. The door to the operating room opened, and someone called out, “Doctor Zhu!”

“How is it, has Doctor Fu arrived yet?” Zhu Huicang asked as he changed out of his leather shoes into operating room slippers, his coat already tossed into the hands of his old classmate, Ren Chongda.

“Doctor Fu has arrived. Just now, washing up.”

“Okay, I’m going in.” Waving to his old classmate, Zhu Huicang hurried into the operating room.

Ren Chongda, holding his coat, stood outside for a while, taking deep breaths, certainly anxious without any good news. After a while, he turned to find a chair to sit and wait when he noticed the school leaders and students seated nearby.

“Director Jiang!” Surprised, Ren Chongda rushed over to the leader, not having expected the leader to come in person. Noticing the two students running from the Observation Room to here, his eyes widened, “You two!”

“Enough, no more lecturing, Teacher Ren. Let them wait here. We need to understand the students’ feelings,” Director Jiang said, reminding him of his role as a counselor.

“Director Jiang, you don’t know what these kids are like, ah—” Ren Chongda started to vent his grievances as a teacher.

“Teacher Ren, come, sit down, calm down,” Director Jiang said, pulling him down to a seat before speaking further.

Ren Chongda exhaled, trying to calm down, then inquired of the leader, “Why did you come, Director Jiang?”

“The student involved, He Xiangyu’s counselor Teacher Lin, went out of town for an exchange and won’t be back so soon. After contacting her by phone, I came over from home to take her place since I live nearby, just a few steps away. Teacher Lin has informed her family. Her parents are very busy, on a business trip. They won’t be able to return until tomorrow. Everyone must be very worried now,” Director Jiang explained the situation.
