Medical students arenât supposed to stop learning other medical knowledge just because theyâve decided to specialize in surgery. The broader the range of medical expertise a doctor has, the better it is for their career and for their patients.
Cao Yong glanced sharply at his old classmateâs face and reminded him, "Werenât you once accused of writing papers for your mentors when you were interning in cardiology?"
"That, that was becauseâ" Zhu Huicang stammered, not expecting Cao Yong to remember such an old story of his.
"Cao Yong." Another person ran into the canteen, chasing after them.
Turning around and seeing it was Yu Xuexian, Zhu Huicang couldnât hold back a sigh and placed his hands on his waist, still fuming. In his current mood, he didnât want to see anyone from internal medicine. It was obvious what Yu Xuexian wanted to say.
Yu Xuexian glanced at Zhu Huicang, who was from the cardiothoracic department, seemingly sensing his frustration, and offered a suggestion, "Just look at it. I told you earlier that sheâd be best suited for our gastroenterology. At least we donât have anyone as shameless as the respiratory department."
Okay then, it seemed like everyone in internal medicine knew about the embarrassment cardiothoracic faced today.
"Do you dare say you arenât shameless?" Zhu Huicang, even angrier now, retorted, "Listen to what youâre saying. Instead of putting out the fire, youâre adding fuel to it," turning to let Yu Xuexian have it. "What did you say about her in Tao Zhijieâs office back then? It was obvious to everyone what you were plotting against her. If she went to your gastroenterology department, youâd exploit her and use her up, no doubt."
"Hey, right now itâs the respiratory department showing up your cardiothoracic team, so why get mad at me?" Yu Xuexian protested his innocence.
"Iâm just stating a fact. Not just you, even Jin Tianyu!" Zhu Huicang accused the entire internal medicine gang of having no good intentions, plotting every step to the extreme.
Speaking of cardiology, Yu Xuexian seemed thoughtful, not denying Zhu Huicangâs exposure, saying, "Cardiology is the largest internal medicine department in our hospital. If she were assigned to cardiology, we in gastroenterology would be fully convinced. I donât know who managed to send her to respiratory and let them pick up the spoils."
The Old Naughty Boy arranged it, probably to give the respiratory department a boost. Cao Yong thought.
"Humph." Zhu Huicang snorted through his nostrils, agreeing with Li Chengyuan, "Sheâs a surgical student. Sheâs going to your internal medicine department to learn internal medicine knowledge from you. How could you have the nerve to exploit her skills instead?"
"Whatâs wrong with that?" Being part of internal medicine, Yu Xuexian this time firmly stood by Xin Yanjun and the respiratory department, confidently stating, "Who says we arenât teaching her? Isnât she learning from us while showing the results of her learning? Itâs just that she learns fast and applies what she learns quickly."
This group in internal medicine is really shameless. Unable to bear it any longer, Zhu Huicang wanted to turn around and cover his face, unwilling to watch any longer. Turning back, he continued to address his old surgery classmate, Cao Yong, "Look at these internal medicine people, do you really think they can teach her well? Honestly, it might even be better if she didnât intern in internal medicine at all."
"You know very well who truly teaches her," Cao Yong earnestly stated.
The senior studentâs words had the same gravitas as the dean, the Old Naughty Boy. Zhu Huicang was momentarily stunned.
Itâs always clinical cases that can teach doctors. The purpose of medical studentsâ internships is not just to learn from clinical teachers.
