Chapter 673: [673] That person is really capable Chapter 673: [673] That person is really capable A group of people prepared to make their rounds.
The Hepatobiliary Surgery had more than twenty additional beds compared to General Surgery Department Two, but the space was about the same, so instead of three beds per room in other departments, there were four here. The space between beds was relatively small, and even this was not sufficient. The ward was divided into two areas. Five special beds constituted a separate small-scale ICU area. Inside the isolation rooms, there were monitors similar to those in the cardiac surgery area; three were for artificial liver treatments and two were designated for liver transplant patients.
As a nationally renowned department, the number of beds was still insufficient. It was said that once the new surgical building was completed, Hepatobiliary Surgery would occupy an entire floor all to itself, allowing for a two to three-fold increase in the number of beds. Hence, since last month, the rumbling sound of foundation work could be heard through the windows of the old inpatient building next door. The new building was expected to be completed and put into use within two years. For the current phase, patients and medical staff would have to endure a little longer.
All the beds were also managed in groups, divided into seven groups in total, with Xie Wanying belonging to the second group.
The second group had eight regular beds. The number wasn’t great, but if the special beds from 01 to 05 and the beds in the two single rooms were included, the total number of beds was not small. This also meant that the second group likely handled the patients with the most severe conditions and those who could least afford to be offended. The difficulty level of the patients determined that the second group was truly the star and assault team of the Hepatobiliary Surgery.
Every medical student wanted to follow the most renowned teachers in the department. Xie Wanying knew she was lucky; in General Surgery Department Two, she had followed Da Niu, Teacher Tan, and had now moved on to Hepatobiliary Surgery to be under Senior Tao, another surgical star. It was said that all capable surgical medical students in the hospital were supposed to train under Senior Tao at some point.
Xie Wanying never dared to consider herself talented, not knowing whether the news was true or false.
As for Beidu native Song Xueling, he probably really was talented.
As they walked, He Guangyou whispered to Song Xueling privately, “Xiao Song, come to the operating room with me later. There’s a case from the last time you were here involved in the group discussion that is scheduled for surgery this morning. Teacher Tao will be the Chief Surgeon, and he said he hopes to see how your technique is. He might allow you to give it a try on the table halfway through the operation.”
“Hmm,” replied Song Xueling in a voice as indifferent as if the sky was falling, without the slightest disturbance in his emotions, calm as still water.
Talented Scholar was always rather proud; it was understandable. He Guangyou patted him on the shoulder and seeing Xie Wanying behind him, added casually, “If you want to watch, you can stand by in the operating room.”
“Yes, Teacher,” Xie Wanying responded. She must firmly seize any opportunity given by the teacher, even if it’s just to observe, and never let go.
Seeing her earnest expression, He Guangyou was taken aback: her reaction was completely different from Song Xueling’s.
Song Xueling turned around to look at her, his brown eyes, as still as a cat’s, rippled slightly, as if he couldn’t quite believe his ears.
Tao Zhijie, who was walking ahead, must have overheard her words, a look of amused interest appeared on his profile.
She was indeed a peculiar person, often not resembling a top student.
The group passed by Zhao Zhaowei’s room without entering; Tao Zhijie had visited in the morning and didn’t find it necessary to go in again. He planned to have a meeting in the afternoon to discuss before talking to the patient; he felt the patient needed time to think quietly right now.
They then proceeded to another single room, unsurprisingly occupied by a high-ranking leader who needed a private space to work during the hospital stay.
