This miracle doctor just wants to be fired!

As soon as he sat down, Li Degang followed him into the doctor's office, holding a schedule in his hand.

He walked to Zhou Cheng's desk and placed the work schedule on it.

"Xiao Zhou, for the next few days, you don't need to go anywhere else. You'll be in charge of the emergency ward shifts."

"The number of patients in the ward has been high lately, and a doctor from the emergency surgery department just resigned, so we are really short-staffed. You just happened to be back, so you can fill this vacancy for now."

"Keep a close eye on things, and communicate with me or other teachers promptly if you encounter any difficulties."

Zhou Cheng nodded: "Okay, Teacher Li, I understand."

Compared to the outpatient department, which faces a constant stream of first-time patients, the emergency ward has fewer patients, but the work is more complicated and there is a greater risk of unexpected disputes.

However, Zhou Cheng noticed that Li Degang mentioned that a colleague from the emergency surgery department had resigned.

Will the sudden resignation of someone affect the number of people to be recruited for the emergency department this year?

However, the person who recently resigned was a surgeon, and he is currently under the emergency internal medicine department, so it shouldn't have a significant impact.

I'll have to ask when I have time.

At this point, Li Degang added, "Also, there's something else I need to tell you. Starting today, I'll be assigning you two mentors, Chen Xi and Li Yang, who were previously assisting you in your outpatient clinic."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Cheng was slightly taken aback.

He remembered the department's rules: most of the teaching tasks in the emergency department were assigned to regular physicians.

Newcomers like him, who are still in their probationary period, usually learn from senior physicians and have no teaching qualifications whatsoever.

Not only him, but also his two fellow probationary doctors, Fang Hang and Zhao Rui, who joined at the same time, were not assigned to mentor any students.

Seemingly sensing his confusion, Li Degang took the initiative to explain: "As you know, according to departmental practice, probationary doctors are indeed not assigned mentors."

"But the emergency ward has been too busy lately. Every full-time doctor has a lot of patients on their hands and a heavy teaching load, so they simply can't spare the time."

"Chen Xi and Li Yang have worked with you before and are quite familiar with your diagnostic approach and teaching style. They also took the initiative to tell me that they wanted to continue learning from you."

Li Degang paused for a moment, then said, "Moreover, in this clarification video, these two students clearly explained how seriously you taught them. The department leaders also felt that you have solid professional skills and a responsible teaching attitude, so it's perfectly fine to let you teach them."

"So this is a special case, and we've made an exception and assigned you a teaching task. Please put in a lot of effort to help them get in touch with clinical cases and accumulate practical experience."

Before Zhou Cheng could respond, two clear greetings came from the office doorway: "Hello, Teacher Zhou! Hello, Teacher Li!"

Looking up, he saw Chen Xi and Li Yang, both dressed in neat white coats. They had obviously learned about the mentoring arrangements and had come to find him.

"You two are here." Li Degang nodded to the two students. "From now on, follow Teacher Zhou closely, ask questions, and do your best."

"Okay," Chen Xi and Li Yang replied in unison.

Seeing this, Li Degang smiled and patted Zhou Cheng on the shoulder: "I've brought the person to you. The follow-up training work is up to you. I have other things to do, so you two coordinate first."

After saying that, he turned and left the doctor's office.

Zhou Cheng stood up and looked at the two students at the door.

Previously, when they were in the emergency room, Zhou Cheng had his own selfish reasons for letting the two of them do the work themselves, in addition to the teaching task.

Some patients dislike students seeing doctors, which increases the risk of complaints.

However, this behavior was over-interpreted by the two students...

However, when they are smeared by public opinion and suspended from their posts pending investigation, they will take the initiative to stand up and clarify their situation in front of the camera without reservation.

This courage and sincerity warmed Zhou Cheng's heart.

Even though his mind was filled with thoughts of "being fired and receiving 20 million," he couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill towards the two students.

"Junior brothers and sisters, please come and sit down." Zhou Cheng pointed to two chairs opposite the desk.

The two quickly stepped forward, sat up slightly, their eyes showing a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

Seeing their reserved demeanor, Zhou Cheng smiled and said, "I've already seen the clarification video online. Thank you for standing up and speaking up for me in front of the camera."

He paused for a moment, then said, "I know that it takes a lot of courage to appear on camera to testify for me when public opinion online is overwhelmingly against you. After all, you are just students and there is no need for you to get involved in this kind of controversy. I am really grateful that you did this."

Upon hearing Zhou Cheng's gratitude, Chen Xi and Li Yang exchanged a glance, their initial awkwardness instantly dissipating, replaced by a hint of embarrassment.

Chen Xi spoke first, "Senior brother, you don't need to thank us. We just did what we were supposed to do, telling the truth of what happened that day."

Li Yang, standing beside him, nodded in agreement: "Yes, senior brother, although we only studied with you for one morning, we learned not only about diagnosis and treatment, but also your patience towards patients and your rigorous attitude towards medicine."

Hearing what the two were saying, Zhou Cheng felt a little guilty.

He looked at the two students in front of him, whose eyes were clear yet slightly naive, and nodded gently, saying, "No matter what, the fact that you were willing to stand up and testify for me has already helped me a lot. The online public opinion has been quite turbulent lately, and even the Health Commission has intervened. I originally thought I would most likely be fired by the hospital this time, but thanks to you, the public opinion has been reversed."

"Senior brother, you're too kind," Li Yang and Chen Xi quickly waved their hands.

Zhou Cheng smiled and didn't dwell on the topic any further.

"Alright, that's enough with the thanks. Now let's talk about the mentorship. Professor Li should have already told you all about it. Starting today, you'll be working with me in the emergency ward."

He pushed the duty roster in front of the two of them and pointed to the shift schedule.

"Patients in the emergency room have more complex conditions than those in outpatient clinics, and their conditions can change rapidly. When you're with me, listen carefully, observe closely, and take notes. Don't hesitate to ask questions if you encounter anything you don't understand. I will try my best to expose you to different cases so you can gain more clinical experience. Do you have any questions?"

Chen Xi and Li Yang immediately straightened up and answered in unison, "No question, senior brother! We will learn diligently from you!"

Their voices were full of excitement; being able to continue learning from teachers they respected was undoubtedly a happy thing for them.

Zhou Cheng nodded, looking at the two with satisfaction.

"Okay, let's go to the wards now and familiarize ourselves with the patients' conditions today. Let's understand each patient's basic condition and the key points of treatment. Please take notes."

After saying that, Zhou Cheng took the lead and walked out of the office.

Chen Xi and Li Yang quickly followed.
