Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s
Chapter 576 - Chapter 576 【576】There was a car accident ahead

Chapter 576: [(576)] There was a car accident ahead. Chapter 576: [(576)] There was a car accident ahead. Medicine emphasizes teamwork. The role of a lone hero triumphing in every battle is simply impossible in the medical field.

Think about it: when a patient is rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, what can a single doctor do? Resuscitation requires the collaborative efforts of many people from different departments.

In the past, her role as a pathologist was to support others, unlike now when she is learning to be a surgeon, she is actually becoming the primary physician for patients. The primary physician is responsible for leading the entire medical team treating the patient. When help is needed from other departments, one must ask for assistance.

When should one seek help from others, and when should one not? Is it merely a medical issue?

Experienced mentors had made preliminary judgments through their observations over the days: she didn’t ask for help when it was crucial, while Li Qi’an was quite the opposite, always seeking assistance and completely lacking the ability to act independently.

Of course, because they were novices, they needed to accumulate experience. Just a few days ago, Teacher Xiao Sun was similarly reprimanded by Teacher Shixu about this matter.

Li Qi’an’s frequent requests for help could annoy a teacher. Her reluctance to ask for it, on the other hand, could cause teachers to worry. In comparison, the teachers were more concerned about her issues than Li Qi’an’s. After all, there were plenty of students like Li Qi’an in clinical practice who were a bit slow to act. She, however, belonged to an extremely rare kind.

Pointed out by her mentor, Xie Wanying reflected: If it hadn’t been for Senior Brother Huang that night, she would have been unlikely to call Senior Cao. And if Senior Brother Huang hadn’t come to check in, she wouldn’t have thought to call the head of the inpatient department on her own. Maybe she would have discussed it with Teacher Sun, but certainly, Teacher Sun was not as capable as Senior Cao. Whether Teacher Sun would then turn to the backup team or not, she wasn’t sure.

After organizing her thoughts, she roughly felt a bit embarrassed about troubling her teachers and seniors. In such situations, she hesitated. So she always thought that maybe she could try to solve the problem herself first.

“You succeeded, so naturally there’s nothing else to say. But if you had not succeeded, would you have asked for help? Or would you have needed to try several more times before asking for help?” Ren Chongda’s gaze sharply pierced her as he spoke.

“Teacher Ren, I know where I went wrong,” Xie Wanying said soberly.

“Don’t feel embarrassed about anything. Not to mention, if we become colleagues in the future, you’ll be asking your colleagues for help, and they’ll be asking you for help some day. Mutual assistance is what should be done, as a doctor’s only purpose is to save lives. Right now, you’re just a medical student, and there’s nothing wrong with openly seeking help from your teachers. Your teachers themselves need to seek help from others, let alone you.”

Xie Wanying nodded as she listened to the instructor’s teachings.

The taxi they were sitting in suddenly braked.

Ren Chongda and Xie Wanying, who were talking, suddenly realized something had gone wrong. Ren Chongda turned back to ask the driver, “What happened, brother?”

“There’s been a car accident up ahead, causing a bit of a traffic jam. Didn’t you see? There’s only one lane left, and the traffic from both directions is blocking each other,” the taxi driver said.

A car accident!

Ren Chongda immediately opened the car door.

“What are you doing, getting out of the car?” asked the driver as he saw them disembark.

“Here’s the fare for the ride; we are doctors, we’re going to check the situation,” Ren Chongda said as he took out his wallet and drew a bill for the driver.

“You’re doctors! You should have said so earlier. There’s no need for that.” The driver refused to take Ren Chongda’s money, “Go save people quickly. Do you need me to come with you?” Saying this, the driver also got out of the car ready to help.

There are always kind-hearted people around; they just lack someone to lead on the scene. Ordinary people without professional knowledge fear that in attempting to save others, they might actually harm the victims instead.

Now that they knew doctors had arrived, they followed behind the doctors to lend a hand.
