Chapter 482 - Chapter 482 【482】 Little junior sister dont work yourself too

Chapter 482: [(482)] Little junior sister, don’t work yourself too hard. Chapter 482: [(482)] Little junior sister, don’t work yourself too hard. Xie Wanying’s face flushed “whoosh” with embarrassment, She had been seen through by her senior brother, noticing the anxiety she felt inside.

Gao Zhaocheng, who walked out from the doctors’ office, greeted his junior brother Cao Yong and together they went to see a patient who required a consultation. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to remind his junior sister, “Take care of yourself, do what you need to do, and don’t wear yourself out.”

Gao Zhaocheng also felt that she was taking teaching the students too seriously, fearing that it would exhaust her.

Teaching was only one of her tasks as an intern, the main goal was to familiarize her with the teaching process, not to be evaluated on her ability to produce outstanding students. In fact, there was no regulation that required clinical teachers to ensure all students achieved outstanding results. The clinical teaching task only required students to pass their rotation. Even the specific goals for a student’s rotation were set by the clinical teachers themselves.

Whether a student succeeded greatly was not something a teacher could completely control.

For this reason, Xie Wanying reassured her worried senior brothers with a hand wave: No, no, it won’t happen.

Soon it was time for her night shift with Teacher Sun.

During the weekend, doctors rest. Come Monday, they would discharge a large number of patients to vacate beds based on postoperative recovery, continue discharging and admitting patients on Tuesday, and by Tuesday night, the department’s beds were almost full. Moreover, they had admitted quite a few patients with severe illnesses.

During the daytime, Xie Wanying was in the operating room. By the evening, when she came down from the operating room, she heard several monitors beeping down the corridor, as if the sound stretched from one end to the other.

Sun Yubo had come down to the ward earlier than her, tapping a medical record with a pen, lamenting in his heart.

Why did he pray? Because today was the first time he took two novices on a night shift. There’s a saying in clinical practice, Yama, King of Hell, loves to target novices. It’s truly not a lie; for some reason, when newbies are on duty, an inexplicable increase of patients and critical cases would occur.

Doctor Shi Xu, on call that night, came over in his regular clothes and patted Sun Yubo on the shoulder, saying, “I’ve got plans to dine out with someone tonight, so I’ll be going out. I’ll stay in the staff dormitory tonight, you can call me if you need anything.”

“Yes,” Sun Yubo nodded.

“The beds are all full, no other patients will be coming up. Just handle the patients in the department and it’ll be fine.” Shi Xu continued to nag him, “Did you properly hand over with the doctors from the other teams?”

“I know, I know.” Sun Yubo continued nodding, understanding that the senior doctor was instructing him not to call the on-call line carelessly. Facing the department’s situation tonight wasn’t tough; he needed to demonstrate his independence as a resident doctor.

After seeing off Shi Xu, Sun Yubo turned and glanced at the two novices following him that night: students Xie Wanying and Li Qi’an.

“Let’s go and meet the daytime doctor for a handover. We need to see which critical patients in the ward need extra attention. Ask about anything you don’t understand before the attending goes off duty. Perhaps they have issues we need to be aware of tonight and will come to brief us in advance,” Sun Yubo spoke of his arrangements and plans for the night shift.

Xie Wanying and Li Qi’an took out notepads from their white coat pockets, ready to take notes.

General Surgery Department Two had a total of sixty-two fixed beds spread across five teams. Gao Zhaocheng’s team three was responsible for the most beds, totaling sixteen. Team two had eleven, team four had twelve, and team five also had eleven.

It was said that at its peak, there were five additional temporary beds. However, the department usually did not add beds; it was not feasible to admit patients indefinitely–they would be overwhelmed.
