Chapter 480: Nurse sister complained to her. Chapter 480: Nurse sister complained to her. Watching her retreating figure, Li Qi’an stood there stupidly for a while before he slowly began to move his feet.
Xie Wanying made it sound easy, but he didn’t feel it was. Since he arrived at General Surgery Department Two, he had never done this task. He was cautious by nature, and without anyone teaching him, he didn’t trust himself to do it well. Weren’t electronic medical orders supposed to be very important?
On weekdays, he only interacted with his classmates during class. Xie Wanying understood that the class’s academic performance was not bad and that she could be reassured about Li Qi’an.
After spending the whole morning busying in the operating room with the teachers and returning to the ward at noon, she was surrounded by the nurse sisters.
“Is Doctor Li your classmate?”
“Yes, sister,” Xie Wanying answered.
The sisters bombarded her with complaints:
“Listen, the orders he entered are a mess; you’d better review them on the computer yourself before handing them to us.”
“We told him to change them, but he hasn’t, and now he’s disappeared.”
“Didn’t you tell him how to do it?”
Xie Wanying was momentarily confused before she realized the nurse sisters were dissatisfied with her classmate.
It was strange, she had spent only half an hour at General Surgery Department Two to learn the electronic medical orders well. Why couldn’t Li Qi’an manage it after a whole morning? He had been interning at General Surgery Department Two for several days now.
Back in the doctor’s office, she opened the computer and checked the electronic medical order errors pointed out by the nurses. Xie Wanying couldn’t understand her classmate’s situation at first and knew she needed to ask him.
She pulled out her phone and called Li Qi’an.
“Yingying, have you left the operating table? I’m eating with Zhao Zhaowei in the cafeteria. I packed a meal box for you and left it at the nurse’s station. Did you see it?” Li Qi’an on the other end didn’t mention anything about the electronic medical orders.
Xie Wanying had no choice but to get straight to the point and ask him, “The nurses said you entered the wrong orders and didn’t correct them.”
“No,” Li Qi’an denied, “I changed them several times after they told me. Because you were in the operating room, Yingying, I couldn’t call you to tell you right away.”
“You can score over ninety percent, even a hundred, on tests; can’t you understand what they are telling you to change?” Xie Wanying questioned.
“Yingying, exams are exams, work is work. You can memorize answers for exams. Anyway, I’m not sure what’s going on with them. They say I’m wrong, I ask what’s the mistake, they get impatient after a couple of words. I ask again, and they tell me to ask you later, saying they don’t have time,” Li Qi’an shared his side of the situation.
The nurse sisters were busy and had to mentor their junior nurses; they had no time to train doctors’ medical students. Additionally, they had to check and administer the orders within a set timeframe. They must send back incorrect orders for the doctors to revise; they couldn’t waste their time helping medical students with electronic medical orders.
Understanding the situation, Xie Wanying realized she had been too naive.
In fact, Li Qi’an’s learning style might have always been different from hers. Li Qi’an was accustomed to cramming, whereas Xie Wanying disliked cramming, preferring to read the tidbits of information tucked away in various books. Li Qi’an might be used to referencing templates and rote learning, but she, Xie Wanying, was not; she preferred to develop her own system.
“You finish your meal first,” Xie Wanying kept her thinking clear; she couldn’t let the conflict between her classmate and the nurse sisters escalate, or it could become uncontrollable.
“I’ll come up after I’ve eaten and talk to you,” Li Qi’an nodded, “Do you need me to come back and help you with anything afterwards?”
“No need; we can discuss it this afternoon,” Xie Wanying said, “Thank you for getting the meal for me.”
“Don’t mention it,” Li Qi’an hung up the phone cheerfully.
