Chapter 902 - 902 902 Being looked down on

Chapter 902: [902] Being looked down on Chapter 902: [902] Being looked down on Layer upon layer of people, definitely more than just the doctors from the county hospital, included many students learning there as well.

This scene, overly “lively,” Teacher Nie probably disliked.

Just as she thought this, Xie Wanying turned her head again and saw Nie Jiamin standing there with a frown.

With both hands under his chin, Nie Jiamin’s deep-sea-like facial expression revealed that every pore of his body at this moment was unwilling to speak.

Nobody felt comfortable being watched like a monkey.

These people weren’t here to learn. Learning was not like this; it should be clear and appropriate to the situation.

In the critical rescue of a sick child, the doctors definitely had no time to give lessons to anyone. It was questionable whether bystanders could understand, let alone see clearly what was going on. What could they possibly learn? Moreover, the upcoming medical treatment required a clean environment and fewer people to avoid cross-infection, and quietness allowed the doctors space to think. Those studying medicine should understand this even more.

No wonder Teacher Nie was so furious inside.

In fact, according to standard practice, the surplus people on the scene must be driven out. Whether an intern or a doctor from the hospital, anyone not related to the patient’s rescue had to make room.

Xie Wanying recalled that such situations were not unheard of at Guoxie. At such times, the senior nurses at Guoxie would step forward and unapologetically drive these people away.

Clearly, nurses here did not dare to ask doctors to leave.

The nurse on night duty at the county hospital looked very young, probably just graduated from vocational school, unlike the senior nurses at Guoxie who all had at least a bachelor’s degree to start with. This showed that the further down the hierarchy, the lower the status of nurses was compared to tertiary hospitals. Recognizing the value of nurses often required higher educational backing. Lower educational levels among nurses easily led to feelings of inferiority among their colleagues.

In the absence of the senior nurses from Guoxie, Xie Wanying had to take action herself to clear space for Teacher Nie to save the patient.

“Please make way, everyone. The on-duty doctors, please stay; everyone else, please step out,” Xie Wanying turned and addressed her fellow teachers and students with a tender call, “We need a sterile environment for the procedures that will happen here shortly, so we can’t have too many people around.”

Only then did the crowd layering around Nie Jiamin seem to become aware of her presence: Who was this person?

Judging from Xie Wanying’s young appearance, they could easily tell she wasn’t an expert, just a student. So why should they listen to a student? What right did a student have to tell them to leave when they absolutely had to?

No one moved a step, all coldly listening to her calling out alone.

In the field of medicine, hierarchy matters, and a low-ranking medical student couldn’t possibly command the higher-ranking doctors to come and go as she pleased.

After shouting a couple of times and realizing this, Xie Wanying took a breath and adjusted her approach.

She hadn’t encountered such a situation before and needed to think about how to handle it.

“Yingying,” Nie Jiamin called her.

“Teacher Nie?” Xie Wanying was surprised that Teacher Nie suddenly addressed her with her nickname, just like Senior Tao and the others had.

Nie Jiamin, who called out her Chinese nickname, seemed unaware of this detail, his expression somewhat solemn as he pointed behind himself: “Stand behind me.”

Not clear on the teacher’s intention, but Xie Wanying obeyed, moving a couple of steps to stand behind her teacher.

Nie Jiamin slowly turned around, his elegant face confronting the dozens of onlookers.
