Turning over the card is how the emperor chooses which concubine to sleep with at night.
In this context, it means that after gaining the favor of the attending physician, you might be personally mentored by them.
Following the attending physician, you will definitely learn more advanced knowledge.
"Zhou Can, your mentor is the attending physician Hu Yiba."
Zhou Can was the first to be announced.
Everyone noticed that this resident named Zhou Can received special training and treatment compared to everyone else.
A few residents who came with Zhou Can from the General Surgery Department were okay since they knew Zhou Can's abilities and talents were far superior to those of an average resident; thus, his treatment was not surprising.
Those who didn't know him were already cursing in their hearts.
Damn, who is this connected person trying to show off here?
Normally, how could a resident receive special attention from the Vice Director? For many residents, they had not even seen whether the Vice Director was thin or fat, male or female.
"Jin Mingxi, your mentor is Yuan Kun. Chen Hao, your mentor is Luo Sanzhang..."
Different from other department residents, here it seems the mentoring is on a one-on-one basis.
Everyone felt much more mentally balanced.
Having one-on-one mentoring from a resident doctor is also very good.
Only one level below Zhou Can.
Soon, all mentors were assigned. Except for Zhou Can, who was mentored by an attending physician himself, all others were mentored by resident doctors.
"See this duty roster? You can find your mentors on it; if your mentor is not currently working, you can familiarize yourself with the regulations in the office, or just go home and sleep, adjusting your working hours to match your mentor's."
Without a mentor, it's doubtful anyone could even enter the doors of the Intensive Care Unit.
Zhou Can checked the schedule of attending physician Hu Yiba, morning shift from eight to four in the afternoon.
The scheduling here is very similar to that of the Emergency Department.
It's also a 24-hour rotation.
"Everyone got it? Those assigned to the morning shift, I'll take you to the ICU. Remember, after entering, first wash your hands, then change into an isolation gown. It's a sterile area inside, you generally can't just go in and out as you please. If you need to use the restroom or drink water, take care of it now. Those assigned to the evening or night shift can go home and rest, come back when it's time."
Many assigned to the morning shift quickly went to use the restroom or grab a drink.
Zhou Can quietly counted, including himself, there were nine people on the morning shift.
After he returned from the restroom, some residents had already left.
The person in charge of these residents was still patiently waiting for them.
"Is everyone here? Follow me!"
At the command, everyone followed him out of the doctor's office.
"In there, there are several wards, if a senior doctor calls you to assist a patient's resuscitation, you must execute it immediately. Even if they ask you to clean a patient's excrement, sputum, do not hesitate. Once inside, the first thing you need to put aside is your squeamishness. Also, in there, you almost see death every day, you must learn to control your emotions. Crying inside is not allowed, no matter how tough it is, you have to hold it in."
This was probably aimed at the two female doctors.
Male doctors, seeing death, at most retch or feel upset, seldom cry.
Female doctors, with their rich emotional cells, can burst into tears at any sad moment.
The person in charge led them to the hall outside, where the wall covered with dark gold porcelain tiles bore the black characters for Intensive Care Medicine Department.
Below it hung a sign for the nutritional infusion demonstration ward.
The spacious automated metal door was tightly closed, and next to the door on the wall hung a conspicuous reminder sign.
"If we do not answer your doorbell promptly, please understand; we are busy with a resuscitation. Please use the side door of the family waiting area!"
It was already known that the ICU has several doors for access.
Medical staff usually use this main entrance. Family visits require an application, usually entering from the side door.
There isn't someone on duty there around the clock.
If family members have items for the patient, or have prepared a nutritional meal and want the nurse to feed the patient, they can pass them to the nurse on duty here.
However, it must be mentioned, while the family's desire for the patient to eat well and recover faster is understandable.
In reality, much of the food given is not necessarily fed to the patients.
It's simply accepted to avoid medical disputes.
Sometimes the patients actually can't eat anything.
For example, patients preparing for surgery, or those with a tracheotomy, or others who need to fast, cannot eat.
There's no need to ask where the received food went.
If you must know, it's either thrown away or fed to the patient.
Just to clarify, the ICU does not require family members to stay; everything is managed by doctors, nurses, and professional caregivers.
Besides the main entrance and the family member access side door, there is another well-known door, referred to as the mortuary door.
Deceased patients are not transported out through the main entrance.
One reason is that it doesn't look good, and the other is to prevent the possible spread of pathogens.
There is a special back door designated for transporting bodies.
