This miracle doctor just wants to be fired!

Zhou Cheng rested comfortably for a day and felt much more energetic afterward.

When I opened my eyes, the aches and fatigue in my body had almost completely subsided, and my mind was very clear. I no longer had that drowsy feeling from before.

He sat leaning against the headboard for a while, then couldn't help but sigh again.

There's no way around it; things aren't like they were when I was younger.

Staying up late is too exhausting. It's okay once or twice, but if it happens too often, your body really can't take it.

……

After getting up and washing up, Zhou Cheng changed into clean clothes.

The breakfast stalls at the entrance of the residential area have been set up, with steam rising from the steamers and the aroma of soy milk wafting far and wide.

Zhou Cheng ordered a cup of hot soy milk, two fried dough sticks, and a tea egg.

The boss quickly packed it up.

As Zhou Cheng walked, he unwrapped a fried dough stick and took a bite. It was crispy, salty, and fragrant. He also drank some hot soy milk, which warmed his stomach.

At the hospital entrance, he ran into Cheng Fang, Zhang Lei's wife, who was riding an electric bike to the hospital. When she saw him, she quickly braked and stopped.

"Good morning, Dr. Zhou! Thank you so much! My husband, Lao Zhang, will be able to move to a regular ward today. The doctor said he's recovering very well, and all his indicators are normal."

"Of course." Zhou Cheng smiled. "Teacher Zhang's good recovery is also due to his own cooperation and timely quitting of smoking. With proper care afterward, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Cheng Fang nodded repeatedly, insisting on stuffing a bag of apples from the bicycle basket into his hands.

Zhou Cheng declined for a long time, saying he didn't want it no matter what, and urged her to hurry up and go to work so she wouldn't be late. Only then did he ride away on his bike, repeatedly saying before he left that he wanted to treat her to a meal.

At 7:40, Zhou Cheng arrived at the emergency department.

As I was changing into my white coat, nurse Lin Ling poked her head in and said with a smile, "Brother Zhou, you're finally back! You've had a couple of days off, and the department is so much less busy. By the way, a new batch of resident trainees and graduate students are arriving today, and you're definitely a star in our department now."

Zhou Cheng was stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant.

Lin Ling smiled, said nothing more, and turned to go to the nurses' station to get busy.

Without thinking much about it, he went to the nurses' station to get the nighttime lab results for the two patients.

Electrolytes and kidney function were all within the normal range, and there were no postoperative complications, which made me feel more at ease.

At 8:00 AM sharp, the department held its early shift handover.

The night shift nurses and doctors reported in turn on the details of the patients' admissions and changes in their conditions.

Director Chen Ming outlined the key tasks for the day.

It's worth mentioning that Chen Xi and Li Yang's batch of students left, and the new rotating students are reporting for duty today.

After the shift ended, everyone went about their own business. Li Degang was the teaching secretary for the emergency department, so he took a dozen or so students into the office.

There are three-year resident trainees and professional master's students in clinical medicine. They have all just finished their rotations in the previous department and are reporting to the emergency department.

Each of them wore a slightly reserved expression, along with a hint of curiosity about the new department.

Li Degang first asked everyone to find empty seats and took out the registration forms.

One by one, the information was checked: name, school, rotation cycle, and departments previously rotated to. It took almost twenty minutes to register more than a dozen people.

After registering, Li Degang cleared his throat.

"Let me first explain the rules and regulations of the emergency department, including working hours, shift handover requirements, medical record writing standards, emergency resuscitation procedures, and precautions for doctor-patient communication..."

The speech lasted for about ten minutes, covering the most basic and essential rules.

After explaining all this, Li Degang took out the assignment sheet he had prepared beforehand, ready to assign mentors to everyone.

There are six fixed teaching instructors in the emergency department. In addition to Zhou Cheng, there are five other doctors. According to the hospital's regulations, each teaching instructor can take on a maximum of two students, which is just enough to divide the twelve students.

In the past, when students were assigned, Li Degang would directly assign them according to the list, and the students never had any objections.

After all, everyone knows that the emergency department is busy, open 24 hours a day, with many critical and severe cases. Writing medical records, rushing to rescue patients, working night shifts, and working non-stop are the norm.

Most people come here for rotations just to go through the motions; no one actively chooses their mentor, and no one is eager to be assigned to the busiest mentor.

But today was different. Li De had only read the beginning, and hadn't even started reading the assignment list, when a girl wearing black-rimmed glasses raised her hand and whispered, "Teacher Li, may I ask if we can choose our own mentors?"

Li Degang was stunned for a moment. He had been working as an emergency department teaching secretary for five or six years, and this was the first time he had ever encountered a student taking the initiative to ask if they could choose a teaching teacher.

He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Usually, the departments assign students together. So, is there a teacher you'd like to work with?"

The girl nodded immediately, her tone firm: "I want to follow Teacher Zhou Cheng."

As soon as these words were spoken, the students below erupted in a cacophony of voices, all chiming in with their own opinions.

"I also want to follow Teacher Zhou Cheng!"

"Teacher Li, I also came to the emergency department because of Teacher Zhou Cheng!"

"Could I also study under Teacher Zhou Cheng? I don't mind being busy!"

Suddenly, eight out of the twelve students raised their hands, saying they wanted to follow Zhou Cheng.

The remaining four who hadn't raised their hands were also asking each other questions, their eyes clearly showing that they were also considering something.

Li Degang was completely dumbfounded.

He had been a secretary for so many years and had never encountered anything like this before.

In the past, students who came to the emergency department were afraid of being assigned to busy supervising teachers.

They wished they could find the most relaxed job, one where they didn't have to write medical records or run around to emergency rooms every day. But now, everyone is scrambling to work with Zhou Cheng.

He quickly raised his hand to quiet everyone down, and said with a helpless expression, "Stop arguing, one person at a time. Why do you all want to follow Teacher Zhou Cheng?"

"Professor Zhou Cheng usually has to take care of patients in the emergency ward and also go to the catheterization lab to perform interventional surgeries. He is one of the busiest teaching instructors in our department. If you follow him, you won't have a moment of free time."

The first girl to raise her hand was Zhao Xiao, a third-year resident trainee who had previously rotated with Chen Xi in the gastroenterology department.

She immediately said, "Teacher Li, we're not afraid of being busy. Senior Sister Chen Xi told us in the residency training group that we can learn real skills by following Teacher Zhou Cheng."

A young man named Wang Hao, who was a master's student specializing in cardiovascular medicine, chimed in, "Yes, Professor Li, I've heard about Professor Zhou Cheng for a long time. The surgery he performed a few days ago was all over the hospital; even Director Wu from the cardiology department watched the whole thing. I'm a graduate student specializing in emergency cardiovascular medicine, and I came to the emergency department specifically because of Professor Zhou Cheng."

Other students chimed in, saying they had heard it from Chen Xi and Li Yang, who had graduated earlier.

Zhou Cheng is a dedicated teacher who doesn't hold back his knowledge or exploit his students, so you can really learn something from him. That's why I had already decided that I must follow Zhou Cheng when I come to the emergency department.
