Chapter 671: [(671)] The test of the doctor’s wisdom now Chapter 671: [(671)] The test of the doctor’s wisdom now “How many people from her class are interning like she is?” Indeed, even the Hepatobiliary Surgery, which wasn’t short of people, was quietly inquiring about the whereabouts of Xie Wanying’s classmates.
“She was the first to switch departments. The others should be in the process of being arranged. However, not everyone in their class can start clinical internships early like she did. There seem to be five medical students and five surgical students, making a total of ten people who started internships early. Some continue their internships in General Surgery, some in Gastroenterology.” An insider revealed.
“Nonsense. How could there be many? This is an early internship, only the very outstanding are approved. The number from their class is a historic breakthrough. There are very few from other classes. Therefore, Ren Chongda is now making a big name for himself at the medical college; he’s their class advisor.”
“Ren Chongda, is it? I see, I see.”
The seniors chuckled. Mentioning the name of the Anatomy Room Chief, there was no one who didn’t know, so nobody found it strange that Xie Wanying’s class achieved such results.
It was customary for the night shift staff to start the handover. Director Tang, just like Director Shen from General Surgery Department Two, belonged to the strict faction. Hearing the commotion from the wards this morning, Director Tang began to lecture, “Not eating due to a temper tantrum, the doctors felt all clinical indicators were good and didn’t intervene. How long do you want him to lie in the hospital bed? Why didn’t you involve Psychology? Why didn’t you have Nutrition take a look? Even if he were Old Zhao’s grandson, he has no right to lie here on the hospital bed and act wilfully!”
The atmosphere at the handover meeting immediately became morose. Including those nurses who had been elated by bonuses received that morning, their joy disappeared in an instant, fearing they might face fines and deductions next month.
Director Tang named the nursing team, “Didn’t you inform the doctor? After informing, if the doctor had no measures or if the measures were insufficient, what did you do? Why didn’t you follow up with the doctor? Should the patient’s family be left to discipline him? If his family were capable, would they need to bring him to the hospital for help?”
“Director Tang, you’re right. As soon as the handover meeting is over, our nursing team will immediately have a meeting to review and summarize the lessons,” the head nurse agreed, acknowledging the need for reflection.
Even though the head nurse said this, the question of who ultimately bore the responsibility lingered.
In the office, everyone’s gaze stealthily shifted to Tao Zhijie.
To say the patient was unconscious, but, evidently, the patient was emotional, the doctor must find ways to resolve it. Without regard to all else, using all sorts of methods, it really tested a doctor’s wisdom.
Tao Zhijie spoke up, his voice very calm, “Last week I was away on a business trip and not in the department. I only learned the specifics this morning upon visiting the ward. Although the bedside doctor had reported some issues regarding the patient to me, I couldn’t make a decision without seeing the patient myself in the hospital. Old Zhao didn’t call to press me, possibly he agrees with the patient’s current conservative treatment. Seeing the patient’s reaction today, there’s a discrepancy between the patient’s expectations and the doctor’s. Therefore, our medical team needs to revise his treatment plan.”
His serene tone, like a stream of clear water into the taut atmosphere of the office, changed the ambiance of the meeting.
Leaders can show their authority, but those working under them must always keep their reasoning sharp and online.
Senior Tao was super calm, just like Teacher Tan and Senior Cao. Xie Wanying learned that on the clinical front, her star senior colleagues towered over others with their emotional and intellectual prowess.
