Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s
Chapter 2265: Looking for the Leader
Seeing that he didn’t answer, Luo Jingming had no time to speak. The other person was not his student. Dai Nanhui was following Teacher Tian, the on-duty pediatric emergency doctor, tonight. First, they came to the ambulance, took a stethoscope, and boarded the vehicle to check the child patient.
Hu Hao got off the vehicle to make room for the doctor, his eyes always following the child.
Dai Nanhui noticed the child’s parents with red eyes and cautiously stepped back a few steps to maintain a safe distance.
"Help move the child inside." After a preliminary examination, Luo Jingming determined that the child could be transferred off the vehicle. He poked his head out and saw Dai Nanhui standing far away, causing him to frown.
In contrast, Junior Xie Wanying, who had been punched in the face by a child patient’s family before, wasn’t this scared. Luo Jingming was speechless and said as Dai Nanhui was about to continue following him, "Go find your own teacher."
No time to take care of someone who seems unsuitable for pediatrics.
Dai Nanhui’s face turned red in a flash.
"Dr. Luo, does this child need to be hospitalized?" a nurse asked about the arrangement. The child’s condition temporarily didn’t require resuscitation and should be directly transferred to the inpatient department to await surgery.
Here comes the problem of which department to arrange a bed with.
Shou’er’s pediatric surgery is not like a general tertiary hospital unified under one pediatric surgery department; as a specialized hospital, it is finely categorized into sections. Like adult departments, it is divided into general pediatric surgery, pediatric urology, pediatric neurosurgery, pediatric cardiothoracic surgery, pediatric thoracic surgery, and other exclusive specialties.
Esophageal surgery is discussed in the adult department section. Due to the special anatomical location, it can be classified under general surgery of the digestive tract or thoracic surgery. Relatively, thoracic surgeons are more professional in dealing with organs in that area.
Logically, pediatrics should be classified the same way.
Luo Jingming has not been here long and is unfamiliar with the overall situation at Shou’er, needing to consult with colleagues at Shou’er.
Doctor Tian from the internal medicine on duty came over for this reason, a thirty-year-old female doctor, also an attending physician. Hearing Luo Jingming introduce his junior, Doctor Tian looked at Xie Wanying and asked, "A student from internal medicine?"
Senior clinicians, being those already established in the field, hope that juniors all come from their own juniors as it’s good to have someone to help with the work later on.
Luo Jingming did not need his junior to answer, bluntly denying Doctor Tian’s assumption: "She is in surgery."
"Obstetrics and gynecology?"
"In the future, she might go into pediatric surgery." Luo Jingming’s thoughts were aligned with Nie Jiamin’s; it’s almost certain that Guoxie’s famous surgical female top student would join their pediatric surgery department.
"Impressive," Doctor Tian praised.
In Shou’er, the overall number of female surgeons is not high. Luckily, compared to adult general surgery, the ratio of female doctors in Shou’er’s general pediatric surgery is not low. Unfortunately, specialties like pediatric neurosurgery, pediatric cardiac surgery, orthopedic surgery, urology, and others have no female doctors. Pediatric thoracic surgery, branched out from general surgery, has recruited many females, dealing with esophageal atresia and other diseases branched out from general surgery.
Doctor Tian explained on the spot: "In our hospital, general surgery, thoracic surgery, and neonatal surgery can all handle esophageal atresia."
"Do you have any colleagues you can introduce me to?" Dr. Luo asked.
Doctor Tian tried hard to think. It’s not that there aren’t any, it’s just that she knows too many colleagues, and it’s inappropriate to introduce anyone individually. Like in other hospitals, at Shou’er, there is competition between departments with similar business areas.
"I want a bed." Luo Jingming stated the main point.
Doctor Tian honestly told him, "No department has a bed available, unless you know the leadership."
Leadership? Not to mention at Shou’er; even at his own unit, Guoxie, Luo Jingming wasn’t friends with the leadership.
Hu Hao tugged at Student Xie’s sleeve, "Or perhaps, slip the doctor a red envelope?"
