Chapter 854 - 854 854 How tough it is to snatch her away

Chapter 854: [854] How tough it is to snatch her away Chapter 854: [854] How tough it is to snatch her away To her surprise, Song Xueling lowered his eyebrows and didn’t react.

Xie Wanying was puzzled.

The other doctors looked at the two of them, understanding what Tao Zhijie meant. Both of these doctors were on par with each other, and both had the potential to become bosses in the future. How could they become a mutually dependent pair at this time? If they were to pair up, they needed to maintain their independence.

Doctors with strength and potential would certainly be entrusted with important tasks by the hospital. They needed to be team leaders, mentor students, and foster successors. Thus, they must be able to stand on their own and be ambitious. The medical profession operates on a mentorship system. Medical students and practicing doctors are restricted by the requirements for graduation and licensing exams, necessitating sufficient internship periods. Therefore, an excellent doctor must independently mentor and carry the burden of their profession.

Tao Zhijie was just shy of criticizing openly.

If you, Song Xueling, appreciate her talent, you could take her under your wing, but you can’t let her lead you by the nose as the First Assistant during surgery like this morning. It’s chaotic.

You are someone who will be a leader in the future, and a leader must make decisions alone.

She is still an undergraduate and doesn’t understand during her internship, but you have graduated and have had discussions with President Wu and other hospital leaders. You should know better. When you joined this hospital, surely the leadership talked to you about becoming a key figure here. Because everyone knows you’re not just an ordinary doctor.

Unless you don’t want to be a leader? But think about what the future holds if you don’t want to be one. On the clinical side, how many attending physicians never make it to associate senior positions? Many who reach associate senior status are just in name and lack real power. Sometimes, for a doctor, not having a say is very frustrating. It’s akin to your own academic opinions being hard to get accepted by others.

Where is the greatest sense of professional achievement for doctors? Is it in curing one patient, several patients, or thousands of patients? The greatest sense of professional achievement for a doctor lies in promoting and advancing one’s own successful treatment plans, achieving breakthroughs in medical research, and aligning with the ancient saying of “suspending the pot to help the world and universally relieving the suffering of all beings.”

Without leading, where will you get the advantage to compete with others for patients, performance, and funding? Just as Guoxie is determined to become the leading hospital in the nation.

A trace of unprecedented silence crossed the downcast brows and eyes of Song Xueling.

Qiu Ruiyun could see that this junior fellow alumnus was struggling fiercely inside, thinking: he’s just a newbie who has graduated, capable but not yet fully aware of reality.

Now Song Xueling had begun to consider the practical problems. How difficult would it be to take her under his wing? Considering that several of their teachers struggle to suppress her with their own abilities, fighting fiercely in secret. He certainly didn’t have the power at this stage to be so bold.

Perhaps one day he might, but definitely not now. He needed time.

Seeing that this person was reflecting, Tao Zhijie’s smiling eyes returned to his junior sister. In the end, this morning’s events made him realize that it was time to start fostering a sense of independence in the newcomers. Song Xueling needed it, and so did she.

“Yingying, you’ve seen the intern exams this afternoon, pick one to be your student,” said Tao Zhijie.

It turned out that Senior Tao wasn’t simply asking her to help Senior Qiu out of kindness. Xie Wanying belatedly realized in surprise: Senior Tao was too kind.

Which teacher wouldn’t want to pick the best new intern to mentor, making their job easier? Although she was tasked with guiding interns, such a good opportunity seemed destined not to befall someone who was also an intern.

“Senior Tao, this—”

“If I tell you to choose, you choose. You can pick anyone,” Tao Zhijie said with a gentle voice that carried an undeniable assertiveness.

“Geng Lingfei,” Xie Wanying decided, choosing her fellow townsman first.
