Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s-Chapter 1966: Irrelevant

"Go to Guo Zhi Hospital to check on the patient." Because he had some personal matters to attend to at home, Du Haiwei assigned Doctor Zuoliang to check on Aunt Min. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Yes, Teacher Du." Zuo Liang acknowledged. This patient was somewhat special; it was an unexpected incident at their hospital, and subsequent matters needed to be handled well. The doctor shouldn’t be cold and indifferent, leading to complaints from the patient and their family. Everyone wanted to know what caused the patient’s sudden illness at that time.

As Xie Wanying walked out of the office, she followed behind Doctor Zuoliang and said, "Teacher, may I accompany you to see the patient?"

"Of course." Zuo Liang said, remembering her good relationship with this patient. Having her there to comfort the patient would be better.

With the teacher’s permission, after work, Xie Wanying went to the locker room to change clothes and was ready to go downstairs to catch a ride with the teacher. As she reached the entrance of the ward, someone hurriedly approaching almost collided head-on with her.

"Hey, watch where you’re going! Didn’t you see anyone?" The voice from the opposite side took the initiative to blame her.

Xie Wanying recognized the familiar voice and glanced at the person’s face.

At the same time, as she looked up and met her gaze, Shen Xifei was startled when recognizing her face, covered her mouth, and muttered, "What are you doing here?"

"I’m interning here."

Shen Xifei scanned her casual attire, maintaining a certain level of wariness about her words, and asked, "Are you off work?"

"Yes."

Shen Xifei stepped aside, eager for her to leave quickly.

Xie Wanying, pressed for time, brushed past her and continued on her way.

Watching her back as she left, Shen Xifei hurriedly ran into the ward, approached the nurses’ station, and asked, "Excuse me, is Teacher Hu here?"

"I haven’t seen him." The nurse glanced around the ward and didn’t see Doctor Hu, telling her, "You should ask Doctor Su. She is part of Doctor Hu’s team and might know where he is."

Following the nurse’s instructions, Shen Xifei went to find Doctor Su, who was overheard complaining to others about her heavy workload as she approached.

"I’m exhausted, so busy that I’m about to collapse. I don’t know when our team can get another person." Doctor Su looked utterly drained, like she had crawled out from a deep pond, and spoke with a weak tone.

"Is your team really short on people?" A doctor conversing with her asked.

"We always have one or two fewer people than other teams. Doctor Hu is very strict, and not everyone likes being in her team." Doctor Su’s words seemed inconsistent with other people’s impressions of Doctor Hu.

Originally, it was thought that Doctor Hu’s way of speaking to patients was not great and that she was a rather lax doctor. There’s a stereotype that doctors who are not strict with themselves are harsher on patients, which is a misconception about doctors.

The reality is that a doctor’s attitude toward patients has nothing to do with their personal technical skills.

Some doctors may be cold toward patients, yet their medical skills are highly praiseworthy. Conversely, some doctors seem gentle and considerate but unfortunately can’t cure the patient’s illness. Patients are most troubled by wanting to find a doctor who is both technically proficient and compassionate toward patients.

It’s simply that there aren’t that many perfect things in the world.

Some top-notch medical professionals have an average attitude toward patients because of their understanding of medicine. Patients don’t understand this, often assuming the doctor harbors some form of resentment toward them.

It has already been said that, in general, doctors only have personal feelings toward their circle of friends and family. There are no significant emotional and interest entanglements with patients. Doctors treat patients by fighting against the disease, not the patient themselves, so patients need not overthink this aspect.
