Chapter 358 - Chapter 358 358 So there really are no internship

Chapter 358: [358] So there really are no internship opportunities at all? Chapter 358: [358] So there really are no internship opportunities at all? “Zhou Junpeng, tonight Dr. Tan invited us to dinner, specifically reserving the large private room with the big round table. Do you want to share a table with us? Are you offering to treat us in place of Dr. Tan?” Sun Yubo stood up to explain to the other party.

“So it’s Dr. Tan treating you to dinner? Even better,” Zhou Junpeng smiled thinly at Tan Kelin seated in the middle, “Last time Teacher Tan borrowed a place from our Teacher Fu, and it was agreed we’d eat together sometime.”

Hearing this, Tan Kelin raised an aloof eyebrow: “Has your Teacher Fu arrived?”

“Yes, the six of us, including staff from other hospitals here for an exchange. We just finished a meeting in our department, and Teacher Fu suggested eating here. We didn’t expect to find the private rooms fully booked upon arrival. They are usually not full outside of weekends,” Zhou Junpeng clarified the situation.

“This is because our Dr. Tan had the foresight to book the room in advance.” Sun Yubo emphasized, seeing no reason to be imposed upon in this way.

“Yes, thanks to Teacher Tan’s foresight,” Zhou Junpeng spoke swiftly to express his gratitude, “I’ll call Teacher Fu and the others over.” Having said this, he turned and quickly went to summon his people.

“The nerve of you! Our Dr. Tan hasn’t agreed yet,” Sun Yubo called after his retreating figure a couple of times, unable to bring him back and left with no choice.

Tan Kelin put down the menu he was holding and instructed Liu Chengran, “Go call the waiter over and arrange some additional tableware.”

Being colleagues from the same hospital, favors owed or not, one certainly had to agree.

And so the group felt somewhat anxious: they were suddenly going to share a table with the cardiothoracic surgery folks? They only remembered there was a ‘Robot’ Teacher Fu in cardiothoracic surgery, reputed to be quite a formidable person. Because of this, Luo Yanfen whispered in Xie Wanying’s ear, “Isn’t it said that people from cardiothoracic surgery are difficult to get along with?”

If we’re talking about which department’s people are difficult to get along with, General Surgery Department Two with its universally icy demeanor is even more notorious. Xie Wanying thought about it; she had met a number of the teachers herself and never felt any of them were difficult to deal with. Maintaining professional boundaries, apprentices should just do their jobs well, and what could the teachers do?

“Have you ever been to cardiothoracic surgery?” Seeing her expressionless reaction, Luo Yanfen curiously asked her.

“No, have you?”

“No. Cardiothoracic is one of the two major specialties within surgery, where students in general surgery rotations don’t get the chance to participate. It’s like neurosurgery; we don’t have that opportunity either,” Luo Yanfen said, “I wonder if you will have the chance to rotate there in the future.”

She wouldn’t even have the chance to do a rotation in cardiothoracic surgery? The thought, which had never crossed Xie Wanying’s mind, made her somewhat anxious as she asked, “How would one get the opportunity to rotate there?”

“Do you want to go to cardiothoracic surgery?” Luo Yanfen sensed something in her tone and was surprised. Considering her brave, she asked, “Do you want to go there to work on extracorporeal circulation?”

Cardiothoracic surgery does hire extracorporeal circulation physicians, but not those wielding the scalpel.

Xie Wanying really wanted to say no, that she only wanted to wield the scalpel, yet she cautiously chose her words, daring not to claim arrogantly, “I just want to learn.”

Hearing her say that, Luo Yanfen thought it made sense. Female doctors had difficulty staying in top-tier tertiary general surgery departments, let alone in cardiothoracic surgery, and said, “Everyone wants to learn, I do too. I am a doctoral student from another place and my situation is different from yours. You don’t have to be too disheartened.”

While they were talking, the people from cardiothoracic surgery arrived. A group of six, to Xie Wanying’s surprise, both Teacher Fu and Teacher Zhu were present.
