Tang Shu answered, "Madam Li’s pulse tended to be disorderly, at times fast, at times slow. I believe Teacher Zhang also noticed it, right?"
This patient was somewhat special, being the most severe of all the patients, thus she remembered it very clearly.
At that time, Doctor Zhang spent more time taking the pulse than the others, likely having had suspicions already.
Hearing this, Zhang Qi showed a hint of admiration, "Indeed, but at the time I wasn’t certain, which is why I had her undergo the CT scan afterward."
The other three all displayed bewildered expressions. If they had previously looked at Tang Shu as if she were a celebrity idol, it was now obvious that they were observing her as a fellow Medical University student.
Their eyes no longer held doubt but were filled with a touch more respect.
This Tang Shu, who had stirred quite a buzz on the campus forum, wasn’t merely a star after all – she had some real skills?
"Alright, let’s take a look at the next case..."
Half an hour later, as the other staff members gradually returned from their lunch breaks, the discussion in the consultant’s room was drawing to a close.
"That concludes our case discussion for today. This afternoon, I’ll take you to the emergency room in front of the Traditional Chinese Medicine building to help out."
As Doctor Zhang’s figure disappeared from the room, the other three couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.
"My gosh, Teacher Zhang is so serious, isn’t he? No wonder he’s known as a ’devil’ like our Professor Yu!"
"Yeah, didn’t even crack a smile this whole morning? That’s even harsher than our student counselor."
"Why did I have such bad luck to end up in this group? I heard that Doctor Zhang is the most serious and the hardest to score points with among the assessment tutors!"
"What else could it be? Just bad luck. Our class president had us draw lots, so there was nothing to be done!"
"I got here by drawing lots too, brother in misfortune, classmate!"
Tang Shu, who was sorting out the medical records, inconspicuously overheard the conversation of the three, as if it meant something.
So the tutor was decided by the class president?
"Finally, this morning is over. I’ve been on edge all morning, so tense it’s unbearable. I’d actually prefer to sit for another two days of written exams!"
"That classmate Tang... your observation is so meticulous. How do you manage it?"
"Yeah, I remember you took two weeks off, didn’t you? How can you keep up with the study schedule like that?"
Just think, when the two of them were discussing the condition a moment ago, the three of us were completely clueless, right?
Tang Shu smiled, "I’ve been studying with an old Chinese medicine doctor since I was young, so I guess I have some experience."
The girl showed a look of sudden realization, "So that’s how it is!"
"Classmate Tang is really amazing. But taking pulses seems to depend on talent, right? I clearly don’t have the ’root of wisdom’ ing~~~~"
"Stop dawdling, let’s hurry up and catch up with Teacher Zhang. We still have to rush to the emergency room."
Thanks to the lengthy case discussion of over an hour, the four strangers became much more familiar with one another, inadvertently narrowing the distance between them.
After organizing her notes, Tang Shu hung her pen in the upper pocket of her white coat, just like everyone else, and left the consultant’s room together with them.
As they walked and stopped along the way, the four exchanged quite a bit of personal information and useful biographies pertaining to the Traditional Chinese Medicine building.
Following the hospital’s signs through two buildings, the words "Emergency Building" suddenly came into view.
And at that moment, Tang Shu finally saw other familiar faces from her class.
