Healing Doctor

Chapter 456 A Record of Daily Life (The Alliance Leader is Helpless and Adds 4 Chapters)

"Director, this is so frustrating. There are so many great materials, but they just won't let us use them," Director Fan's assistant muttered in dissatisfaction.

Indeed, the production of the third season was quite challenging compared to the first and second seasons.

Previously, regardless of their industry, they weren't particularly averse to variety shows, and even harbored the idea of ​​using them to gain fame.

We had a pleasant working relationship and each got what we needed. Although we didn't get access to the real industry secrets, we were still quite cooperative.

The medical industry, however, is an outlier, standing apart from other industries.

Whether it was Director Yang, Zhai Yuhan, or even Ji Xiang, who was most likely to benefit, they were all "on guard" against the film crew.

Just now, the scene where Ji Xiang was giving a diagnosis and the head of the ultrasound department repeatedly asked about the patient's medical history was actually Ji Xiang instructing that it be edited out.

Director Fan was also frustrated and let out a deep sigh.

"It doesn't involve the patient's privacy, why insist on editing it out? If you edit out this kind of thing, what's the point of broadcasting it?"

"Don't complain," Director Fan said. "The first episode was pretty good. Let's see if we can find any other material."

"The scene where Dr. Ji Xiang and Director Yang are arguing is the best material, but I doubt it will be allowed to air," Director Fan's assistant muttered.

Indeed, the argument scene was too intense, and even with the hospital's permission, Director Fan didn't want to include it in the final cut.

……

……

In the commentary room, the bald host said with a smile, "Teacher Shen, do you think Director Fan is right?"

Professor Shen frowned, paused for two seconds, and said in a deep voice, "Medicine has a serious nature, and it is indeed inappropriate to use pregnant women with Cri-du-chat syndrome as material for a variety show."

"Meow Syndrome? This is the first time I've heard of that." The bald host changed the subject, seeking common ground while respecting differences, to avoid arguments and an awkward silence.

Professor Shen shook his head. "Don't even mention you. This isn't my area of ​​expertise. This is the first time I've heard of it either."

"How did Dr. Ji Xiang know that?" another guest asked.

"I don't know," Professor Shen said honestly.

In his view, Ji Xiang's ability to diagnose Cri-du-chat syndrome was even more perplexing than convincing a patient with extremely low medical compliance.

The medical industry has countless branches. For example, general surgery used to be a specialty, but in many large tertiary hospitals, it has been divided into many sub-departments, such as breast and thyroid surgery, hepatobiliary surgery, and gastrointestinal surgery.

Even long ago, vascular surgery was part of general surgery, and varicose veins of the great saphenous vein were treated under general surgery.

As the saying goes, "every profession has its own secrets," and even the experts in each branch department cannot claim to be fully familiar with the rare diseases, let alone junior doctors or even resident physicians.

This question is beyond the scope of the curriculum!

however,

Ji Xiang's performance was surprising.

Seeing that Professor Shen was deep in thought, unlike his usual talkative self, the bald host continued to watch the screen and chat, trying to keep the atmosphere lively and prevent an awkward silence.

The film crew should have been resting at this point, but Director Fan was very persistent. He seemed dissatisfied with today's filming and kept following another group of interns, trying to gather footage.

After seeing Ji Xiang's clenched fists, braced on the table, leaning forward with an imposing presence, these everyday scenes seem bland and uninteresting.

But the show has to go on. No matter how boring it is, we have to find something interesting in it. Otherwise, a single outstanding intern like Ji Xiang won't be enough to carry a reality show.

In the video, three interns working in neurosurgery are busy until very late.

"Professor Shen, you doctors are really dedicated. It's so late and you're still working," a guest joked.

"That's how it was when I was working. Now they call it 'rolling up,' but back then we called it 'serving the people,'" Professor Shen said, making a joke.

The bald host asked, "Professor Shen, is it impossible to complete your work during normal working hours? Every doctor I know seems to be very busy."

"Generally speaking, it's impossible to complete," Professor Shen replied. "For example, once I went to the intensive care unit for a consultation. It was a surgery that had taken place 12 days prior, and the surgical record hadn't even been written yet."

"..."

The bald host was taken aback.

Professor Shen comes from a top-tier tertiary hospital in the country. Is that place really that unprofessional?

"Surgeons are exhausted after surgery and are indeed unwilling to write medical records. They leave it to interns and residents to write them, just to make things up as long as the patient is cured."

"What if something happens..."

"It depends on how each person handles problems," Professor Shen said. "If you try to manage every single task meticulously, you'll never be able to leave work. You'll be working 24/7, and you still won't be able to finish."

"Doctors have so much work, do nurses have it easier?" a guest asked.

"The doctors are alright, but the nurses are the worst." This guest's words touched on Mao Mao's most painful memories. He complained, "The nursing department has to do inspections every day. It's not just normal work. I work all night, and I can't leave work the next day because I have to take the nursing department's exam."

"If it were just one or two exams, that would be one thing, but the problem is that we have to take exams every day." Mao Mao's tone was calm, but the other guests knew his personality and could hear the frustration and complaints in his voice.

"By the time I got home, it was already noon. I ate a bite, lay down, and fell asleep. In the middle of the night, I kept dreaming about whether the medication in the infusion pump had been added backwards, and whether there were any problems handing over the work to the next person on shift."

"Anyway, I did it for more than half a year, and I was exhausted. Then I happened to come across a preliminary selection, so I signed up to participate."

"Hehe." Professor Shen chuckled. There aren't many people like Mao Mao who "rise to the top" after participating in a talent show.

On the screen, the three interns had changed their clothes and were walking out.

As they walked, they chatted about what they wanted to eat.

Although they were just interns who didn't perform surgery and only wrote medical records, they were already exhausted by the end of the day.

The film crew followed along, and the guests could all guess that Director Fan was unwilling to give up; he wanted to capture the most exciting moments.

If there weren't any, that would be fine. There were clearly some great moments today, but they probably can't be broadcast.

That's why he spared no expense to find material from these interns, hoping for a bit more luck, Director Fan thought to himself.

Arriving at a nearby commercial street, they found a noodle shop, and the three interns each ordered a bowl of noodles and began to eat.

One of the interns took out a notebook, held a pen, and wrote something on it.

"Spring Thunder, what are you writing?"

"What I need to do tomorrow," the intern said. "I got a scolding from the supervisor today, and tomorrow... Ugh, I'm terrified of going to work now."

The camera lens was pointed at the intern's pen when suddenly the image shook, and the lens lifted to "look" out the window.

A middle-aged man with his left hand wrapped in gauze was squatting on the ground vomiting.
