Chapter 666: Chapter 276: The Patient Who Frantically Drinks Water, The Embarrassment of Kissing up to the Wrong Person_3
This is purely making conversation for the sake of talking.
How could it not be a thrilling ordeal when two department heads from Pediatrics and Obstetrics abandon their specialist clinic sessions to participate in a rescue that lasted for more than two hours?
Yang Chan seemed to have little desire to engage in much conversation with Du Leng.
She merely responded with a faint “Mhm.” Follow current novᴇls on n0velfire.net
Director Zhang didn’t intervene in such matters of personal affection.
And couldn’t intervene anyway.
Although Yang Chan is her disciple and supposed to be led by Director Zhang at the hospital, that was strictly in terms of work. When it comes to personal feelings, even the mighty Emperor couldn’t compel her.
“I heard from the nurses at Xinxiang Women and Children’s Hospital in the cafeteria that a child patient was close to death. It was Director Zhang who, with a young doctor, actively carried out the rescue, saving the child’s life. After hearing about it, I had great admiration for that young doctor. I knew it must be you.”
Du Leng tried his best to praise her.
Complimenting a girl on her beauty, gentleness, kindness, intelligence, etc., is an easy way to get closer to them.
Wooing girls is something Du Leng is especially skilled at.
She cast a faint glance at Zhou Can, who was studying on his phone not too far away.
Compared to Du Leng’s boastfulness and showiness, Zhou Can’s performance in every aspect was particularly pragmatic.
There’s nothing worse than comparison.
As a result, her impression of Du Leng deteriorated further, while her opinion of Zhou Can improved.
“Not you? That’s impossible! Director Zhang only brought you, a young doctor… Ah, could it be him?”
Suddenly, Du Leng realized that Zhang Bihua had specifically asked Deputy Director Shi to bring along Zhou Can.
If the young doctor who helped to save the child wasn’t Yang Chan, then it was very likely Zhou Can.
Initially intending to praise Yang Chan to get closer to her, he ended up praising a potential romantic rival. Du Leng probably wanted to die.
“Dr. Du guessed correctly, the young doctor who made great contributions is indeed Zhou Can.”
Yang Chan revealed a somewhat sly smile and called out to Zhou Can.
Zhou Can looked up and turned toward Yang Chan when he heard her.
“Dr. Du has heard about your great contribution in rescuing the child and said he greatly admires you. He’d like to exchange some ideas with you.”
This beautiful woman Yang Chan was too bad.
Knowing full well what Du Leng was up to, she’s now calling Zhou Can over, Du Leng’s heart must feel as if he had eaten a dead fly.
More importantly, this dead fly was intentionally consumed by himself.
“Dr. Du, you flatter me, I’m just a junior intern, my skills and knowledge are not even one ten-thousandth of yours. Of course, I am always open to discussions.”
Zhou Can didn’t have a good impression of Du Leng, finding him somewhat sinister and hypocritical.
But to say that there was any deep-seated animosity between him and Du Leng, there truly wasn’t.
In any case, promotions and competing for hospital training resources are all about merit.
As for Du Leng’s jealousy, that’s his own issue.
It wouldn’t cause any real harm to Zhou Can.
“Cough cough cough… I have to continue with my clinic this afternoon, and some of the patients from this morning still haven’t had their ailments diagnosed. I need to look up some information. I’m afraid I won’t have time to exchange ideas with Dr. Zhou today, we’ll find another time.”
For Du Leng to seek an exchange with Zhou Can now would undoubtedly be like gift-wrapping his face for Zhou Can to add to his reputation.
He would never do such a thing as providing a stepping stone for a potential romantic rival.
Zhou Can didn’t want to waste time with him anyway and continued to read.
Reading medical books online with a smartphone is quite convenient. However, holding a physical book feels better, especially for some of the larger anatomical diagrams where mobile phone screens are too small, necessitating enlargement to see finer details clearly.
This really affects the reading experience.
Gao Jian looked deeply at Zhou Can when he heard he had made a significant contribution in the morning’s child rescue operation. The two had been competing since passing the residency exam.
However, it seemed that the gap between him and Zhou Can was growing.
Zhou Can’s reputation at Tuya General Hospital was now on par with Du Leng, and even surpassed him in the eyes of many department heads.
Gao Jian also kept his head down and worked hard to catch up.
Unfortunately, Zhou Can was too exceptional, leaving him far behind.
This made him feel somewhat defeated.
Everyone is human; Zhou Can’s initial starting point was even below his, yet now he was so outstanding, it was envious.
They rested in the conference room for about half an hour, and at one o’clock in the afternoon, they returned to the outpatient hall to continue seeing patients.
Since it was the first day that such large specialist outpatient services were set up outside the main hospital, there were many areas where experience was lacking.
This required Director Zhang to continuously summarize and call meetings in the evening for improvements.
Take, for example, the unexpected emergency of the child patient in the morning needing resuscitation after the on-duty specialists were pulled away; this way, the patients in the outpatient area could not be managed.
The patients’ experience was certainly going to be particularly bad.
They had just settled into the outpatient hall when a patient came with their medical records.
“Dr. Du, please take another look at my wife. Here are the urine and blood test results.”
A middle-aged man pulling a somewhat vacant-looking middle-aged woman approached Du Leng’s consultation desk.
Zhou Can had a hunch this woman might be the patient who drank over ten thousand milliliters of cold water a day and had a consciousness disturbance.
Diagnosing such complex and challenging diseases was Zhou Can’s favorite.
It not only earned 100 Experience Points as a reward but also genuinely relieved the patient’s sufferings. Why wouldn’t he do it?
