Chapter 620: [620] Finally got it right Chapter 620: [620] Finally got it right High-level, insightful.
Xie Wanying, having her response rejected, reviewed the senior’s question again and suddenly realized where she had gone wrong.
The teachers at Beidou Third Hospital wanted her to provide “insightful” comments, which meant they were not treating her merely as a medical student, but as a peer or even as a technical expert by asking for her “high-level insights.”
It was her own failure to fully understand the teacher’s question initially, and she hadn’t expected that a teacher from an outside institution would think so highly of her. It could only be said that because she was a student of Teacher Tan, she was regarded more highly by the others.
Teacher Tan was a technical guru in the medical community; being recognized as his student implied that her academic ability was also exceptional. This was the special status and treatment that came with being the student of a medical “boss.”
“When you assessed that the patient’s bleeding suddenly worsened, was there no sign? Did you not find any significant variable indicators on the patient? If not, are you making this claim based on your feelings?” Cui Shaofeng meticulously pointed out the issues with her previous response, expressing his dissatisfaction once again.
If Xie Wanying truly could not provide the key points in her answer, it would only prove that she was just an ordinary medical student who had luckily saved someone.
The greatest hope of medical seniors is to have several more talented juniors, to invigorate the medical community and advance medical technology more swiftly, aiding the development of the entire medical profession.
Cui Shaofeng had come with such expectations when he asked her. And it was just as she thought, because she was Tan Kelin’s student.
The atmosphere on site grew tenser and the pressure increasingly heavy, like a mountain bearing down on Xie Wanying’s head.
At this point, Tan Kelin stood aside without any indication of interjecting to help his student, and thus, no one else dared to easily express their stance.
Director Seo thought to himself: He had heard that teachers from Guoxie were very strict with their students, and it was indeed true.
“So nervous!” Li Qi’an clutched Lin Hao’s clothes, not daring to watch any further.
Lin Hao turned and glared at his hand.
“Why aren’t the teacher and the senior students helping her?” Li Qi’an mumbled with a pout.
How could they help? Lin Hao knew it was impossible in Guoxie, especially with all the technical “bosses” standing around. Not one of them was as possibly softhearted as Doctor Kim; they were all well-known figures with tough dispositions.
It was better for them to take a few harsh lessons as students rather than face demoralization as practicing doctors later. That’s what the “bosses” thought.
Or perhaps the teacher and senior students didn’t think she couldn’t answer? As this thought unexpectedly flashed across Lin Hao’s mind, he started to believe it might actually be true.
The unusual silence inside the room was palpable. Cui Shaofeng could feel it–the calmness from Tan Kelin brimming not with impatience but with what seemed less like cold indifference and more like confidence. And everyone else in the room shared this sense of silence.
Did these people think she could certainly offer an extraordinary answer? Cui Shaofeng was momentarily surprised.
Xie Wanying’s voice sounded: “Teacher Cui.” Having understood the intentions of the other party, she adjusted her answer accordingly, no longer polite but direct, as she would usually communicate with her supervising teachers: “The patient had evident abnormal changes in the electrocardiogram. In the ambulance, I noticed signs of atrial fibrillation, which is why I discussed with the doctor on the ambulance to redirect to the closest Beidou Third Hospital.”
This answer? Clearly different from the previous one, backed with data. Cui Shaofeng’s eyes lit up. Indeed, not many medical students could give such a “beautiful” response. Saying that the blood pressure dropped wasn’t very precise because the patient was also receiving fluid resuscitation; by the time a significant difference in blood pressure became apparent, the patient would probably have lost their life.
