Chapter 228: 【228】The rookie who is treated like a burden

Xie Wanying was also taken aback: was she really going to be mentored by a department head?

Tan Kelin didn’t care about their surprise or offer any explanation, truly embodying the aloof spirit of General Surgery Department Two. His face slightly lowered, revealing a slender profile, he focused solely on the reports without looking at anyone.

Xie Wanying stood by without saying a word. An anxious student at this moment would surely be eager to ask their new teacher, “Teacher, what should I do today?”

But no, she wasn’t one of those rookies fresh into clinical practice; she knew the teacher’s mind wasn’t on her at the moment, and she would wait until the teacher remembered her. Clinical teachers aren’t there solely to educate students in medical school; teaching is their side job, their main job is to treat and save lives, and their first thought is always about the patient.

“First, listen to the handover.” Tan Kelin stood up after putting down the medical records and turned towards the handover meeting, his posture straightening.

Xie Wanying and Dr. Xiao Sun stood behind him.

The handover meeting of General Surgery Department Two had already started, with the night shift nurses and doctors reporting the handover content. Today, the chief director wasn’t there, so the deputy director looked at his watch and said, “If there’s nothing else, everyone is free to go.”

The group dispersed quickly, the handover meeting having concluded in less than ten minutes.

General Surgery Department Two’s young and daring approach didn’t follow the traditions of General Surgery Department One, which, according to rumors, never concluded its daily handover meetings in less than half an hour.

It wasn’t clear whether traditional ways were better than breaking with tradition, which is why the hospital leaders were so wise to compare these two contrasting departments.

As the students stood around looking lost after the handover, the doctors from the department got busy with their own tasks.

Tan Kelin, with Dr. Xiao Sun, was the first to cut through the crowd and quickly walked down the corridor after leaving the doctor’s office, probably heading straight to the operating room.

It was only upon hearing the thudding footsteps following them that the two remembered there was another person there.

Tan Kelin left first, exiting the ward area. Sun Yubo stayed behind at the door and stopped the novice student, Xie Wanying, saying, “Since it’s your first day, get familiar with the environment on your own, go see the patients from Teacher Tan’s team, and come back in the afternoon for the rounds.”

“Yes, teacher,” Xie Wanying replied, stopping in her tracks.

She watched as the two teachers left, leaving her behind as if she were a lonely orphan.

No worries, she had been assigned a task by the teacher, and Xie Wanying happily went to look for the patients’ medical records, then with the records in hand, to see the patients on the ward.

How fortunate a doctor is to be able to see patients, she thought, utterly unlike other medical students who would feel disheartened without a teacher’s guidance.

She was conducting her rounds alone when the counselor came to inspect.

Seeing her wandering in the ward by herself, Ren Chongda scratched his head. He knew there would surely be problems on the first day. Rookie students just entering clinical practice would inevitably face difficulties, especially if they weren’t accompanied by someone they knew well.

The more skilled the teacher, the less likely they were to take on students, a trait that was particularly noticeable in surgery. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many so-called PhDs who, despite being mentored by a Da Niu, end up being unable to even perform a simple appendectomy when they get to clinical practice.

When Xie Wanying noticed the counselor had arrived, she walked over to the door.

Ren Chongda asked her, “Have you confirmed who your mentor is?”

“Teacher Tan said I’m part of their team.”

Hearing her response, Ren Chongda blinked in surprise.

Tan Kelin, from General Surgery Department Two, was unknown to those outside, but he graduated from Beidu and was one of the important middle-aged backbones among the Beidu faction at Guoxie.

Ren Chongda didn’t quite understand why the hospital had arranged for his student to be in General Surgery Department Two; generally, the hospital’s medical education department preferred to place their promising medical school students in General Surgery Department One. Like Huang Zhilei, he was assigned to General Surgery Department One initially.
