Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 445 - 374: The Workplace Is a Microcosm of Society

Chapter 445: Chapter 374: The Workplace Is a Microcosm of Society

This huge gap, originating from talent, cannot be bridged by personal effort alone.

In contrast, the medical profession, as long as you work diligently, and immerse yourself in a specialized field for over a decade, even if not exceptionally successful, at least you will be an expert in the local area.

"When do I have time to find a student..."

Zhao Heng said casually, as he certainly didn’t have the time to select a suitable student.

"Having a student like that around every day would brighten my mood, unlike the graduate students I’m mentoring; it’s simply indescribable."

Liu Ziang said with a bit of a sigh.

He has been a deputy director for quite a while, and naturally, he has to mentor graduate students.

Compared to other mentors who treat their graduate students like long-term laborers, Liu Ziang is quite good to his. Although he is strict, and the pressure under him is considerable, every year many medical students still aspire to apply for a graduate position under him.

Zhao Heng and Liu Ziang chatted for a while, and Zhao Heng left the neurosurgery department with Ruan Liuzheng.

Following behind Zhao Heng, Ruan Liuzheng felt that this teacher, Zhao Heng, was very different from other teachers.

"Do you like children?"

Zhao Heng asked casually while walking.

Earlier, he saw how Ruan Liuzheng comforted the two children, having a bit of that angelic grace that a "white coat angel" should have.

"Everyone likes cute children, don’t they?"

Ruan Liuzheng smiled gently and said.

"Then in the future, the communication regarding pediatric patients in the center will be up to you."

Zhao Heng said.

Speaking of children, they are completely different from adults.

One could say that spontaneous diseases in children are either minor issues like colds, fevers, diarrhea, which can be solved at home,

or sudden malignant tumors, or sudden genetic diseases.

In other words, in the case of children, there really is only a distinction between "minor illness" and "major illness."

In Zhao Heng’s ward, many complex conditions will definitely be treated, including children among these patients.

Many children with malignant tumors have similar experiences—sudden illness, misdiagnoses repeatedly, constant transfers between hospitals, until finally confirmed as a malignant tumor, and by this time, some children with tumors have already reached the late stages, making treatment results very unfavorable.

This is also related to the general public’s perception; many people think, "Kids are growing, how serious can it be?"

For example, while interning in the oncology department, Zhao Heng encountered a child with congenital kidney disease, which had progressed to renal failure by the time they were brought in.

The child initially told their parents, "My back hurts," but the parents didn’t take it seriously, saying things like, "Kids don’t have a back," and so the illness was delayed.

"A pediatric patient? Director, isn’t that what pediatrics handles?"

Ruan Liuzheng asked with some curiosity.

"Children are the future, after all."

Zhao Heng didn’t say much more, just sighed with such a sentiment.

Looking at the delivery man’s children earlier, he felt quite touched.

It also made him increasingly aware of how impactful the things he could do were.

Behind every patient, there is a family and relatives; whether a patient improves is related to whether a family can function normally.

After returning to the ward, Zhao Heng continued to review the unfinished data.

Meanwhile, Ruan Liuzheng returned to the doctor’s office.

As soon as Ruan Liuzheng entered, Liu Meng pulled her over and said with a smile, "Zhengzheng, what was it like to go for a consultation with the director for the first time?"

"What could it feel like? I just went to see a patient and then discussed the condition with Director Liu, that’s all."

Ruan Liuzheng felt that the group of visiting, training, and internship doctors in the office showed looks of both envy and jealousy toward her when she entered.

The thought of "I could replace her!"

This was probably the strongest thought in the minds of the visiting, training, and internship doctors who cast envious eyes on Ruan Liuzheng.

"Did the director say anything to you?"

Liu Meng asked again. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"He just asked if I liked kids, and said that if the center needs someone to communicate with young patients in the future, he would let me do it."

Ruan Liuzheng recounted everything truthfully.

There was nothing to hide about it.

"Senior, our ward doesn’t have any pediatric patients right now, does it?"

Ruan Liuzheng asked again, a bit puzzled.

"Better to be prepared. Illness doesn’t discriminate by age, right?"

Liu Meng said.

The ward is quickly becoming the center for complex cases at Eastern Hospital. Everyone’s most surprising observation was that, regardless of the type of patient, Zhao Heng’s level in this regard was no less than that of directors in those types of departments.

At times, Liu Meng even thought that gathering all the directors of Eastern Hospital would probably achieve the same effect as Zhao Heng seeing patients.

So now, the ward can be described as open to everyone, accepting patients that other hospitals, and even other departments of Eastern Hospital, couldn’t manage.

"Senior, I see that Director and Director Liu seem to have a good relationship..."

Ruan Liuzheng said enviously.

The way Zhao Heng was in Director Liu Ziang’s office was the kind of state she had always dreamed of achieving.

Being very capable herself, and having friends who are also very capable, that was the state Ruan Liuzheng most wanted to achieve.

"They are both geniuses; geniuses tend to get along well."

Liu Meng said nonchalantly.

Just as Ruan Liuzheng and Liu Meng were chatting happily, Tian Zhen came in from outside.

"Nurse Chief."

As soon as Tian Zhen entered, Ruan Liuzheng greeted her.

Not long ago, Tian Zhen officially became the Nurse Chief of the center.

"Dr. Ruan, the Director asked you to join him for a consultation."

Tian Zhen told Ruan Liuzheng, after which she examined her from head to toe.

Usually, such message-conveying tasks would be given to one of her trainee nurses.

But Tian Zhen just wanted to see what kind of person could earn Zhao Heng’s favor.

"I know."

"Nurse Chief, is there something on my face?"

Feeling that Tian Zhen was constantly staring at her, Ruan Liuzheng couldn’t help but ask somewhat puzzled.

"Nothing, go quickly, don’t keep the director waiting."

Tian Zhen shook her head slightly and said.

After Ruan Liuzheng left, Liu Meng said to Tian Zhen, "Nurse Chief, you must be curious too why the Director chose such a student, right?"

"A bit, a good personality is certainly a plus, but a good personality can’t be eaten like a meal."

Tian Zhen said ambiguously.

Since Zhao Heng became a deputy director, naturally, many people wanted to board this great ship early, and the most direct way was to have Zhao Heng mentor a student.

As the Nurse Chief, naturally, there had been requests entrusted to Tian Zhen as well.

However, the person she introduced to Zhao Heng was rejected and then assigned to other departments.

Now, suddenly, a newcomer like Ruan Liuzheng became Zhao Heng’s student, which made Tian Zhen feel a bit unsettled.

In her view, the male student she introduced before was tall and sturdy, seemingly capable of enduring hard work, the type that hospital directors generally liked to have as students who could toil.

Why was Zhao Heng’s rejection so direct?

"Nurse Chief, Dr. Ruan naturally has her own strengths."

Liu Meng said with a smile.

The reason Tian Zhen became Nurse Chief was because she had been with Zhao Heng for a longer time, and with the newly established center, Zhao Heng recommended her slightly to Gao Jun and the hospital, and Tian Zhen became Nurse Chief naturally.

The speed at which she became Nurse Chief was faster than Xu Man Ni.

But, of course, the Nurse Chief in the operating room is two tiers higher than those in other departments and can’t be compared across the board.

"I’m just worried that the Director might be blinded."

Tian Zhen said, feeling a bit unsettled.

Although if she really had to criticize Ruan Liuzheng, there wasn’t much to criticize; as Liu Meng mentioned, Ruan Liuzheng was impeccable in all aspects and did have the qualifications to be Zhao Heng’s student and have Zhao Heng personally mentor her.

Yet Tian Zhen still felt like something was stuck in her throat, not quite going down smoothly.
