Great doctors start with pediatrics

Isn't he tired?

Staring blankly at Laurent's radiant face, Zhang Lianren and his two classmates, the fat and the thin, saw no trace of fatigue on his face; on the contrary, he was full of energy.

You wouldn't guess she'd had a long day; she looked happy and radiant. Anyone who didn't know her would think surgery was a very pleasant job.

Although Laurent didn't do much work, and the suturing technique sped up his work, judging from his appearance, the three of them wished they could just lock Laurent up in the operating room.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

Finally, Zhang Lianren spoke up: "We'll continue the surgery tomorrow. You should all get some rest tonight."

"Laurent, just follow Director Zuo's arrangements."

Laurent nodded: "Okay."

Actually, he would prefer to stay in the operating room.

No one will come to "test your medical knowledge," and there won't be any unexpected situations. You can steadily become stronger, which is tens of thousands of times more comfortable than going to the clinic!

But he was just a resident trainee and didn't have the right to choose.

Just then, my phone also sent a WeChat message.

"Laurent, I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the inpatient department."

The operating room in the pediatric urology department is not far from the inpatient department.

Laurent walked over quickly and saw Zuo Zhenxing standing in the same spot, pacing back and forth.

Seeing this, Laurent pretended to jog over and asked, "Teacher Zuo, how is it?"

"Was that child alright?"

Upon seeing Laurent approach, Zuo Zhenxing was about to speak first, but upon hearing Laurent's words, he subconsciously replied, "Fortunately, it was discovered early, and nothing serious happened."

"That's good."

Laurent nodded, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a male doctor who looked two or three years older than him standing next to Zuo Zhenxing.

"Hello, are you Luo?"

Seeing Laurent looking at him, the middle-aged male doctor said, "I am Jiang Nanguo, and I am also the director of pediatric surgery. You can call me Teacher Jiang."

The head of pediatric surgery!

Although pediatric surgery may sound like an adjunct to pediatrics, it is actually a separate department, established in opposition to pediatric internal medicine, which is the traditional impression of pediatrics. Therefore, the director is a real director!

He wasn't a department head like Zuo Zhenxing, whose title included a "deputy" prefix.

"Hello, Teacher Jiang."

Luo Lang greeted him politely, but offered no further compliments.

Not to mention that the original owner was this kind of personality, it is rare for a child from an orphanage to have the opportunity to learn to please and flatter. Even now, Luo Lang needs to maintain the original owner's persona.

A student who learns so many flattering techniques might seem to have ulterior motives.

"I heard everything from Lao Zuo. It was Luo who discovered the child's condition today?"

Jiang Nanguo said enthusiastically, "You have really done our department a great favor. If that child had been allowed to leave the hospital, who knows what kind of trouble would have ensued."

Besides, even a child's life might not be saved.

"I was wondering what you looked like, how you could discover this hidden illness at such a young age. Now that I'm taking you to a matchmaking event at the hospital, you'll definitely be fought over by all the nurses."

"Your academic foundation must be very solid! Keep up the good work!"

Jiang Nanguo spoke with a heavy heart at the end, but from his attitude and gaze, it was clear that he held Laurent in high regard.

Zuo Zhenxing snorted: "Learning foundation? The description of the diagnosis he was reading back then, I've never seen any doctor who still needs to rely on diagnosis in the clinic."

"By the way, Luo Lang," Zuo Zhenxing seemed to remember something, "How was your experience learning from Zhang Lianren today? What did you think of his surgical skills?"

Laurent thought for a moment: "It's alright."

"Among young doctors, his suturing skills are the best. Even if you don't understand the other parts, you can still see the intricacies in his suturing."

Luo Lang nodded.

Judging from his masterful suturing skills, Zhang Lianren's level is indeed quite good.

"You should learn from him properly, instead of being completely ignorant of professional knowledge. Today you at least saw how a professional doctor performs surgery. If you want to continue being a doctor, then you need to adopt the right attitude and learn."

"Although you were right in the end, things can't always turn out the same way. You need to work on your medical knowledge as soon as possible."

Zuo Zhenxing's words sounded like an instruction, or perhaps a reminder.

Luo Lang felt a bit conflicted listening to this.

There's no need to be bad to yourself; just remind yourself to study harder.

To be honest, her attitude wasn't as good as when she said she had missed a diagnosis during the day.

"Ouch."

Jiangnan Guo spoke up: "Old Luo, why are you saying all this? I think this child is very good. If you think you can't take care of the child, let me take care of him."

When I encounter a difficult problem, I immediately start looking up academic papers, let alone a student.

"Isn't it enough for a doctor to help patients discover and alleviate their ailments?"

"I'm telling you, you should be more patient with your students."

"Yes, yes, yes." Zuo Zhenxing glared at Jiang Nanguo and looked at Luo Lang: "But you did quite well this time. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. I've already assumed that you didn't study properly in your undergraduate years, so it's not too late to start now."

"If things are going well with Zhang Lianren, I have an emergency surgery tomorrow, so you can stay for another day."

Zuo Zhenxing is, after all, a big shot who leads a team on his own. He needs to go to many prefecture-level cities and counties for surgeries that are difficult to handle and hard to transfer patients.

Luo Lang nodded in understanding: "Okay."

The place to grind levels is back.

Upon hearing Luo Lang's words, Zuo Zhenxing greeted him and disappeared into the night.

"Haha, Luo."

However, Jiangnan Guo did not leave: "Don't you find your teacher a bit unpredictable?"

"Yes." Luo Lang was also puzzled by this.

To say that Zuo Zhenxing is not a good teacher is, at least in his opinion, Zuo Zhenxing has been responsible so far, but to say that he is a good teacher would be a bit too harsh.

"There's nothing wrong with saying this," Jiang Nanguo explained. "He's strict with his students, but he's just as strict with himself."

Actually, the missed diagnosis wasn't his fault, but he still blamed himself. He and his wife had a child who died in the emergency room due to a missed diagnosis at another hospital, and his wife still hasn't recovered from the blow.

Therefore, even at his level, he still pays attention to details and does everything himself.

"So my feelings towards you are more complicated. I feel that as a student you should have a higher level of ability, and I also feel that you deserve praise for being able to make the diagnosis."

Jiang Nanguo said, "He told me privately that he wanted to mentor you, so I just want to say that, child, although it's not your obligation, I hope you can understand him a little."

"If you have any other questions, just tell me. When the time is right, you can come and work for my team. My skills are a whole million times better than your teacher's."

As he spoke, Zhang Lianren made a hand gesture.

Just a little bit, that's all.

"But right now, it's important for you to focus on your studies."
