Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s
Chapter 2263: A Major Distinctive Feature
The ambulance traveled for nearly an hour and arrived at its destination.
Fortunately, no other accidents occurred on the way, and everyone on board accompanying the child could finally breathe a sigh of relief. In a big city, transporting critically ill patients often depends half on luck.
In the deep night, the Shou’er building was brightly lit. Their emergency department operates twenty-four hours, with the night clinic open until ten, making it much busier than other top-tier hospitals.
Even with the diversion of visits to the clinic at this time, Shou’er’s emergency department remains crowded. Therefore, similar to Guoxie, they must apply a strategy here where nurses at the triage desk assess the patient’s condition; those with less severe issues are directed to outpatient services, appearing ruthless but making way for critically ill patients. A distinctive policy in Shou’er’s emergency is that newborn patients can be seen regardless of their condition’s severity.
The pediatric hospital’s approach clearly highlights the fragility of newborns, like glass, where the slightest disturbance might shatter them.
Xie Wanying got off first, taking the medical records inside to find Senior Luo; otherwise, they might not admit the child.
The hospital resounded with the cries of children, a prominent feature. Patients visiting the pediatric emergency after holiday periods were no different from adults; indulging during the holidays upsets their regular routines, ending up with acute illnesses and heading to the hospital.
The suffering of a child during an acute condition upsets parents deeply. This leads to a place filled with cries and scolding voices, more chaotic than other top-tier emergency hospitals.
An adult with a fragile psyche could quite possibly find their ears deafened in such an environment.
Second Brother Cao noted that the first challenge in pediatrics lies here. One must maintain a calm mindset, remaining unaffected by the constant crying. One should neither become irritable and angry nor excessively empathetic or sorrowful upon hearing cries.
How many people can achieve this?
As Xie Wanying weaved through the crowd looking for Senior Luo, she unintentionally spotted a young doctor standing aside in a daze. In a flash, she thought she might have mistaken. Looking again more carefully, the person seemed to be someone she knew.
Someone called, "Dr. Luo."
Turning back, Xie Wanying found Senior Luo.
Luo Jingming was standing in front of the nurse’s station writing medical orders. As he wrote, he found his fountain pen out of ink. Shaking it to squeeze out a little more ink to finish writing.
"Senior Brother."
Upon hearing the voice and turning around, he saw a red Hero fountain pen handed to him. Luo Jingming guessed who it was and couldn’t help but lift the corners of his otherwise stern lips into a hint of a smile. Taking her pen, he asked, "When did you arrive?"
"Just got here. The child and family are on the ambulance," Xie Wanying replied.
"Alright, wait until I finish writing, and I’ll go with you to see the child." Luo Jingming took her pen, quickly finished writing the last two lines of medical orders, handed the medical records to the nurse to execute, and then followed the junior sister to the entrance.
Halfway, Luo Jingming called out to the dazed person, "Doctor Dai, stop zoning out and get to your work."
Indeed, she hadn’t mistaken—it was Director Dai’s son, Dai Nanhui, doing his internship at Shou’er.
Having an ICU director mother is different; an internship plan can be arranged like a personal customization. Such arrangements have both pros and cons. Xie Wanying recalled that the class leader and Zhao Zhaowei, who were also children of doctors, did not have this privilege. Zhao Zhaowei explained, "My grandfather said there’s no need for private favors to find me a teacher, too much pressure. We’re young; without much experience of setbacks, it’s easy to explode like a pressure cooker."
