My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 438: Chapter 432: Knowing How to Perform

Not long after, the answers of the other interns came in. Wei Jiani became slightly anxious, her pen moving quickly across the page. She didn’t want to be the last one to turn her answer in. Her lengthy and elaborate response was packed with professional terminology, explaining the disease’s formation, its current state, and the potential outcomes. Even the chosen treatment method and the prescribed medications were detailed meticulously. Director Zhu handed all the answers to the other doctors who carefully pored over the last two – one from Tang Yuxin and one from Wei Jiani.

Wei Jiani’s answer filled an entire page, while Tang Yuxin’s response was brief, consisting only of a few strokes and a simple two-word conclusion.

On Tang Yuyu’s answer, she wrote “no disease” followed by a parenthetical note to the director that there was no need for needles as the patient wasn’t sick. The director’s annotation stated, “This is to make it more realistic; after all, it’s just a nutritional injection, consider it as a dietary supplement.”

The collected responses from the interns found their way back to Director Zhu. He added his comments and returned the papers to everyone. Tang Yuxin picked up her own, unsure of how she felt about it.

And how about everyone else? What did they think?

It wasn’t until lunch when Tang Yuxin overheard others discussing their feedback, “The Director said I have a solid foundation and encouraged me to keep up the good work.”

“Dr. Chen praised my unique insights and urged me to keep going.”

“The Director complimented my handwriting…”

One by one, they shared their feedback, yet none mentioned anything about the diagnosis. Wei Jiani, still maintaining her superior demeanor, reached into her pocket. The note from the Director complimented her meticulous work, though she chose to ignore the latter part of his feedback.

“Yuxin, what comment did the Director give you?” Li Jia quickly asked Tang Yuxin, presuming that Director Zhu, who had personally mentored Yuxin, would give her a stellar review.

“Nothing much,” Tang Yuxin replied, taking a spoonful of soup.

What she really wanted to know was whether these people had figured out what was wrong with the patient while they focused solely on their performance. They were no longer students and did not need others’ approval.

Their success would be determined by their patients’ recovery, not by unique insights, a strong foundation, or nice handwriting. Those were merely compliments from instructors, not acknowledgments from one doctor to another.

These didn’t influence a patient’s approval as well. She recalled her own time as an intern when she was not like this. Even though she wanted to showcase her capabilities, she needed to be exceptionally observant and sincerely care about her patients as everyone else was superbly skilled. It was because of her dedication toward the patients that she stood out amongst thirty odd interns and ended up being offered a permanent position in the hospital, not the one performing the best, the most attractive, or having the highest grades, but her, a regular intern.

She understood that today’s sudden drill was not on behalf of others, but Director Zhu trying to probe their abilities. Now that he had a fair idea, there would probably be no changes in the current team at the hospital. She wondered who would stay.

Leaving all that aside, whether it was them, the intern doctors, or the regular practicing doctors, shifts were mandatory. By the second week, it was their turn for the midnight shift. Tang Yuxin couldn’t sleep, actually, she couldn’t afford to, considering the irresponsible duty doctors.

“I’ll step out to fetch something,” a nighttime doctor informed a nurse. He glanced at his wristwatch, “will be back in about ten minutes. If anything comes up, call me.”

The nurse nodded, checking her watch. It was two o’clock in the morning, and they had just checked the patients; everything was under control.

As soon as the doctor left for his dormitory, he was unaware that the locking mechanism on the door had turned, effectively locking him inside his room. If Tang Yuxin were there, she would have known that these dormitories were specifically designed for permanent doctors and had all necessary amenities- albeit in a smaller space.

It included a kitchen and a bathroom with shower facilities.

The doctor was about to leave when he felt a stomach ache. He quickly rushed to the bathroom and kept track of time. Approximately ten minutes had passed, and he should leave. However, as soon as he pulled up his trousers, he heard a thud. He looked down and saw his mobile phone had dropped in the toilet. Luckily, the toilet had been flushed, or he wouldn’t dare retrieve his phone.

He picked up the phone, rinsed it under water, oblivious to the fact that mobile phones should never be washed with water.

When he dried his phone with a towel, it refused to turn on.

He shook his phone, examined it incredulously for a while. The device was expensive, costing him nearly six months of his salary, and now it was gone.

No, the moment his shift ends, he’d take it to a repair shop. There’s a chance it could be fixed.

He gathered his things, attempted to open the door, but the door was locked. He pulled at the door disbelievingly, but it remained closed.

He began to knock on the door. Unfortunately, the building was newly built, with only a few occupants. Moreover, it was late into the night, and everyone was most likely fast asleep. His knocking echoed into the small space, the sound reaching no one. Only the cicadas could be heard, chirping into the summer night

Cicadas, cicadas…

Accompanied by an occasional cool breeze.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Wei Jiani walked in just as a nurse was preparing to administer medicine to a patient.

“I’ll do it,” she moved towards the nurse, taking over the task.

“Okay,” the nurse relinquished her duties, “be careful,” she said before leaving to tend to other patients.

Although Wei Jiani’s personality was not the best, it was undeniable that she knew how to win people’s hearts. By manipulating petty profits, she managed to curry favor with others, constantly raising her visibility. If there was an opportunity to boost her presence, one would certainly find her there.
