Check-in at the Hospital: The First Surgery Shocked the Nation!

Chapter 481 - 351: Hands-On Mentorship, A Special Pregnant Patient

"Cough, cough~"

The Director of the Medical Education Department couldn’t hold it anymore and quickly intervened,

"Alright, alright, put your hands down, everyone. It’s good that you’re all enthusiastic."

As he spoke, everyone couldn’t help but glance at Qin Feng, who remained unfazed on the side.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, felt helpless inside. Since when did the emergency department become so popular?

It’s common knowledge among many medical students, even before they choose a major, that there’s a saying like this.

[Ophthalmology is gold, surgery is silver, driving a BMW is dentistry;

Pediatrics is noisy, obstetrics and gynecology are exhausting;

Internal medicine is ordinary, never go to the emergency department;

Otolaryngology is easy to handle, traditional Chinese medicine requires experience.]

Actually, from this, you can roughly understand the general situation of all the departments in a hospital, because it’s basically true.

The most lucrative are ophthalmology and dentistry, while surgery may not earn as much as the first two, but it still earns quite a bit, with more important prospects and status.

If you ask which department is the hardest in the hospital, pediatricians would probably clutch their heads and cry.

The plummeting number of pediatricians over the years indicates this, showing a cliff-like decline.

It’s not because children aren’t good patients, nor because they can’t be cured.

The root cause isn’t the children; it’s the parents!

Every child nowadays is priceless, and any minor bump or scrape feels unbearable to them, and falling sick in the hospital is even more distressing.

Every parent wishes their child could be cured the moment they enter the hospital.

But how is that possible?

Many times, children don’t even have the ability to cooperate and may even need parental assistance to proceed.

And some responsible doctors, for the sake of the child’s health and development, actually don’t recommend using medications with high hormones and antibiotics.

Some auxiliary medicines might help boost the child’s immunity leading to self-healing.

Yet, they get criticized as quacks!

Pediatrics, besides the emergency department, is the place most prone to doctor-patient conflicts.

...

As for the emergency department, unless you’re out of your mind or utterly desperate.

Not even a dog would come!

That’s no exaggeration, the emergency department is a massive pitfall, absolutely the end of the line.

Because emergency medicine has only one path, and that is critical care medicine.

Because you can’t learn much in emergency, it’s all sorts of miscellaneous stuff, almost covering all the basics, making it difficult to delve deeper into any particular field.

Moreover, all hospital emergency departments are unprofitable, more like a form of charity.

"Alright, alright, everyone settle down, the department heads will now take their interns away."

The Director of the Medical Education Department noticed the situation was getting out of control and hurriedly prepared to end it.

Then, starting with the first director, he got up, took out a list, and began reading names.

"Follow me when your name is called."

"Cui Shangxi, Ma Liangliang, Cao Jiayu..."

"Cardiothoracic surgery, Wang Heng, Xu Lin..."

"Neurosurgery, Su Hongwen, Liu Mei, Guo Junhai..."

Qin Feng listened to them reading out names, with some having seven or eight, others five or six. When he looked at his own list, it pitifully only had two names on it, and he quietly put it away.

He felt he probably didn’t need to read it since he was the last one.

And those interns whose names were called, some were excited, some were regretful, and some were glancing at Qin Feng with reluctance.

Everyone was from the same school, and Qin Feng was the first person directly admitted as a doctoral student by the hospital.

After all, there had never been an external doctor, an external graduate student, who could directly pursue a doctorate through the hospital.

Qin Feng had pioneered this.

In addition to that, Qin Feng’s original school’s reputation was already great. He studied under an internal medicine master, was specially hired for critical care, and within half a year was promoted to deputy director of the emergency department.

And from time to time, he would perform a super difficult level 4 surgery, shocking the hospital, becoming a sensation on the medical school’s forum.

So Qin Feng was more popular, and some junior students even switched majors to emergency medicine just to work in the emergency department at Peking Union Medical College Hospital in the future.

It’s just a bit absurd!

...

Finally, all the interns were taken away, leaving only two interns sitting in the auditorium.

One male and one female.

"Director Qin, these two are your emergency department’s now."

"Alright, thank you!"

Qin Feng got up, nodded at the Medical Education Department’s director, then looked at the two of them,

"Ji Lingyu, Gao Sheng, follow me."

Hearing their names, the two stood up and walked over to Qin Feng.

It was then that he noticed they both had outstanding looks!

Ji Lingyu, 25 years old, a doctoral candidate at Peking Union Medical College in emergency medicine, previously had a six-month internship, with some experience as a foundation.

Approximately 165cm, with a slim build, large eyes that sparkle, and features that are sweet, yet there is a coolness in her gaze, hair tied in a neat ponytail, and fair skin.

Gao Sheng, 26 years old, a doctoral candidate in clinical medicine at Peking Union Medical College, with no internship experience.

Stands at 175cm, wears rimless glasses, looking pretty sharp.

Both are high achievers, making Qin Feng a bit nervous inside.

A deputy director of a department who is a master’s candidate, leading doctoral interns, is indeed interesting.

"Director Qin."

"Mm, nice to meet you both."

Qin Feng saw the two bow and greet him, smiled and nodded, extended his hand to shake theirs,

"Let’s go then, I’ll first take you to the emergency department to familiarize you with the environment.

I’ll be your teaching director, but for daily learning, I’ll arrange for an attending physician to teach you the basics first.

The work in the emergency department is very busy, Lingyu, you have had some internship experience before, right?"

"Yes."

Ji Lingyu nodded,

"I interned for half a year in our hospital’s emergency department during my master’s."

"Oh, then you came before me, haha~"

Qin Feng couldn’t help but laugh,

"Maybe you already know them, making it quicker to get familiar, Gao Sheng, you should learn the basics from Lingyu, such as various emergency symptoms, first aid procedures, and major medical records."

"Alright, Director Qin, I’ll do my best."

Gao Sheng quickly agreed.
