Chapter 453: [(453)] Must eat Chapter 453: [(453)] Must eat Several teachers were having lunch in Tan Kelin’s office when Liu Chengran and Shi Xu had a chat.
“Did Doctor Pan have a complication?”
“What happened? I heard he called Tao Zhijie over?”
The incident of Tao Zhijie going to support Doctor Pan in General Surgery Department Two quickly spread through the operating theaters. Everyone was curious about whether there was any private deal between Doctor Pan and Tao Zhijie.
Because at that time, stoppage of the patient’s bleeding was managed by General Surgery Department Two’s ace, and Tao Zhijie’s personal intervention wasn’t necessitated at all.
Shi Xu stayed in his own operating room and hadn’t gone over, so he wasn’t sure about the specifics. He shook his head and gestured subtly towards Tan Kelin to Liu Chengran.
Sun Yubo whispered, “Student Xiao Xie followed them.”
A thought suddenly crossed Liu Chengran’s mind: Could it be that Tao Zhijie went there to check on Student Xiao Xie?
Impossible, overthinking it. Although Xie Wanying has some innate talent, which the teachers are very aware of. But Tao Zhijie’s team is full of formidable people. There are more young doctors with talent than just Student Xie Wanying. There are also many young doctors with good eyes. Tao Zhijie himself has a good eye.
Tan Kelin, who finished his meal first, sat behind his desk during his free time, flipping through Student Xiao Xie’s notebook.
Whatever Tao Zhijie was thinking was none of his concern. In any case, now that this student was under his charge, he was determined to nurture her properly.
After finishing lunch, they immediately had to prepare for the afternoon’s surgery on time. Sun Yubo drank some tea to cleanse the palate and thought, “I wonder if they had a proper meal.”
After the teachers finished their operations, the four interns were exhausted.
The department knew they were delayed from the operating room and had already ordered box lunches for them, which were placed on the desktop in the doctor’s office.
Luo Yanfen opened the lid of her box lunch and had no appetite at all.
Exhausted, completely spent.
Li Wenhao, sitting next to her, was only concerned with drinking water. Zhang Zhongqiang took a bite of rice, chewing as if it tasted bland, mainly because today’s elderly lady’s intestinal surgery was too disgusting, and the mere thought of it left him tasteless.
After assisting the nurses with patient monitoring in the ward and recording vital signs, Xie Wanying was the last to walk back.
She pulled out a chair to sit down, opened the lid of her lunch box, and began eating with a pair of single-use chopsticks, bite by bite.
The other three watched her eating.
Xie Wanying ate neither too fast nor too slow. Her face couldn’t exactly be described as enjoying the meal, but there was a sense of discipline that each bite of food must be eaten.
After watching for a while, Luo Yanfen adjusted her attitude and buried her head to eat seriously.
As a doctor, there’s no room for being capricious about not eating. Not eating could mean facing a code blue later on–patients might not die, but a doctor fainting from hypoglycemia isn’t a joke; it’s a disqualification from being a doctor.
Especially for a surgeon, maintaining optimal physical energy at all times is incredibly important.
Li Wenhao had drunk too much water and felt bloated; with his hand touching just below the xiphoid process, he couldn’t eat anymore.
Zhang Zhongqiang, watching these two girls struggle to eat, found himself unable to finish his food and asked them, “Do you think this food is tasty?”
“It’s tasty,” Xie Wanying answered decisively.
Luo Yanfen nodded, “Tasty.”
“I can’t stand them,” said Li Wenhao as he stood up to step outside for air. At the office door, he encountered Sun Yubo and called out, “Teacher Sun.”
“Have you all eaten?” Sun Yubo asked them.
“We have, Teacher,” said Xie Wanying, finishing her soup.
