Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 443 - 373: Ruan Liuzheng Successfully Becomes an Assistant (Part 2)

Chapter 443: Chapter 373: Ruan Liuzheng Successfully Becomes an Assistant (Part 2)

Since I’ve got myself a little assistant, I need to put them to use.

Previously, Zhao Heng had never taken on a student, not that he disliked teaching, he just felt he was too young, not yet at the age to pass on wisdom and knowledge.

Now that he’s met Ruan Liuzheng, who is solid in skills and serious in attitude, it seems he’s willing to give it a go.

"Alright, Director."

Ruan Liuzheng immediately nodded, stood up at once, looking every bit like a little sidekick.

Zhao Heng and Ruan Liuzheng walked out of the Deputy Director’s office one after the other and went to the doctors’ office. At this moment, all the doctors were present, and when the visiting, resident, and intern doctors saw Ruan Liuzheng following Zhao Heng, obviously as a little assistant, they couldn’t help but widen their eyes.

Everyone came here together, yet how many days have passed and you’re already being directly mentored by the boss?

This made a few young doctors who were eager to perform well lose a bit of their motivation.

While you’re thinking about how to perform well in front of the boss, the person has already become the boss’s protégé. This is simply an overwhelming advantage!

"Doctor Liu, I’m going to Neuro, please keep an eye on this ward."

Zhao Heng said to Liu Meng.

"Alright, Director."

Liu Meng smiled and nodded, then looked at Ruan Liuzheng, who was following Zhao Heng with an undisguisable expression of happiness, and gave her an approving look.

After Zhao Heng and Ruan Liuzheng left, the office finally buzzed with the sound of discussions.

"Just a few days and she’s already with the boss!"

"The gap between people is too big!"

"Well, you’re just not the director’s type!"

A dozen or so doctors, each with their own opinions, but most were envious, jealous, and resentful that Ruan Liuzheng became Zhao Heng’s student so quickly.

Upon hearing these discussions, Liu Meng merely shook his head slightly, smiled, and didn’t give it much thought.

Soon, Zhao Heng and Ruan Liuzheng arrived at Neurosurgery. As soon as they entered Liu Ziang’s office, Zhao Heng saw Liu Ziang in a good mood, drinking coffee.

"Junior, is the coffee machine I gave you working well?"

Seeing Zhao Heng come in, Liu Ziang smiled and said casually.

"It’s okay."

Zhao Heng replied briefly.

"Okay is okay, my taste can’t be that bad, right?"

"By the way, are you permanently mentoring now? I’ve never seen you take on a student before."

Liu Ziang glanced at Ruan Liuzheng, who was following Zhao Heng, and couldn’t help but marvel that Zhao Heng finally blossomed like a late bloomer; previously, countless young doctors wanted to latch onto Zhao Heng’s powerful ship, but Zhao Heng had turned them all down.

Now he starts mentoring a student quietly?

However, looking at the sweet, clean, and clear-eyed Ruan Liuzheng, who always seemed to be smiling, he could also understand why someone would want to mentor such a pleasant and heartwarming student.

There’s a saying that men have no resistance to genuine sweetness.

"It’s temporary, just mentoring for now, we’ll see how it goes later."

Zhao Heng said nonchalantly, mentoring Ruan Liuzheng was a minor matter to him.

However, given his current status, what seemed a minor matter to him might not be perceived that way by others.

Just in the office earlier, Zhao Heng mentoring Ruan Liuzheng stirred quite a bit of commotion among the visiting, resident, and intern doctors.

"Director, I will work hard to become permanent."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Liuzheng promptly said.

"Xiao Ruan, I have high hopes for you. Your teacher has never taken a student before; you are the first."

Liu Ziang smiled and said to Ruan Liuzheng.

He now somewhat understood why Zhao Heng wanted to mentor Ruan Liuzheng.

"How’s the situation with the delivery guy?"

Zhao Heng asked Liu Ziang while sitting on the sofa.

"As of now, not very optimistic. Conservative treatment is the only option; there’s currently no indication for surgery."

Liu Ziang shook his head slightly and said.

"The brainstem hemorrhage is still ongoing?"

Zhao Heng asked with a frown.

"Yes, if the brainstem hemorrhage doesn’t stop, surgery is impossible."

Liu Ziang nodded.

"Then, all we can do is pray he pulls through."

Zhao Heng said.

"Junior, we have you to thank for finding Reporter Wei. When the issue with the delivery guy aired on the prime-time news a few days ago, the platform reached out to us."

Liu Ziang added.

It seems the power of the media is indeed strong.

"The influence of your Reporter Wei should not be underestimated."

After a pause, Liu Ziang expressed some admiration.

Being able to get on prime-time news, such influence is not something an ordinary female reporter can have.

"The platform compensated?"

Zhao Heng asked directly.

"Sort of, they called it humanitarian aid."

Liu Ziang chuckled slightly.

Humanitarian aid is the public rhetoric. It’s likely that after the incident broke out, similar situations that were previously suppressed also surfaced. This time, there was too much pressure causing an explosion.

Consequently, the platform’s public relations department was compelled to engage in so-called "humanitarian aid" to quell the matter.

This actually saved the delivery guy and his family a lot of hassle. Otherwise, if they had to file a lawsuit and go to court, it would be very time-consuming and exhausting.

"Junior, you should really maintain a good relationship with Reporter Wei in the coming years; we’ve suffered too much in the media and public opinion."

Liu Ziang lamented.

The medical profession is inherently simple—treating illnesses and saving lives.

But in recent years, a strange trend has emerged, stirring up medical disputes.

Speaki

ng

g of medical disputes, any doctor would detest them.

Banners, burning paper money, and even physical confrontations; any doctor who has experienced such events might think the only solution is to never be a doctor again in the next life.

As a top hospital nationwide, Eastern Hospital generally accepts patients who can’t be treated elsewhere, so when patients come in, they often have a last-resort mindset, which results in relatively fewer medical disputes at Eastern Hospital.

However, fewer disputes don’t mean less pressure in public opinion.

Many people, whose forebears were just poor villagers, now flaunt their money and status, demanding special treatment everywhere, including in hospitals.

This kind of attitude has occurred at Eastern Hospital before.

Just because a female celebrity came to check her eyes, doctors treated her like a regular patient, and this B-list actress felt slighted, leading to multiple complaints and relentless pursuits, even broadcasting the matter on Weibo.

This matter eventually concluded with the doctor involved apologizing, but this was undeniably distressing for the doctor, definitely an unwarranted disaster.

"Maintain a relationship? Unless she needs a doctor or brings someone for treatment, how can I maintain it?"

Zhao Heng said.

When it comes to maintaining relationships, he feels at a loss. It’s the thing he’s least adept at.

He always thought that with his high medical skill, people would come to him, naturally not needing to maintain any relationships on purpose.

But in reality, there are many issues that medical skills cannot solve in this world.

In the hospital, on the operating table, Zhao Heng is undoubtedly all-powerful; in this hospital, there’s no patient condition he can’t solve.

But outside the hospital, Zhao Heng still has many gaps, which will take time to fill.

"Occasionally have a get-together or a meal. If you can’t go alone, you could call me and your student along."

Liu Ziang chuckled.

"Senior, inviting you is the main purpose, right?"

After hearing this, Zhao Heng suddenly detected another meaning.

"Reporter Wei isn’t my type; I genuinely want to foster a good relationship with a formidable reporter."

Liu Ziang shook his head slightly and said.

He said this with utmost sincerity. He prefers gentle and traditional women, not these powerful and domineering women.

"Alright."

Zhao Heng nodded.
