Chapter 1070: 【1070】Specialist Outpatient Clinic

It is said that Teacher Tan does not like to join such bustling scenes, and besides, General Surgery Department Two has many experts and does not need him to take action.

Senior Tao is different, his outpatient clinic visits are generally in place of Associate Director Xue when he is unavailable. However, Tao Zhijie himself is quite famous and is qualified to run a specialized clinic, except he is relatively young.

Many of the common folks who come to Guoxie for treatment suffer from difficult and severe diseases. Before registering, they would inquire about which doctor is good, and do not insist on seeing a specialist. The locals are even more aware of what a specialist clinic entails and would not casually seek a specialist’s appointment.

It cannot be said that patients who opt for a specialist’s appointment are not lacking in money, rather, they are patients with relatively less access to information who, in the absence of better knowledge, think that seeing a specialist is the best option. It’s like buying the most expensive goods when shopping isn’t wrong.

After checking the wards, Tao Zhijie finished giving work instructions to the doctors in his group and took everyone down to the outpatient clinic.

Xie Wanying followed behind Senior Tao and Senior He.

Compared to Teacher Tan’s swift pace, teachers from the Hepatobiliary Surgery department walked much slower, not needing to rush. Mainly because Senior Tao often appeared to have everything under control.

Upon reaching the specialized outpatient clinic, the clinic environment was similar to other clinics, only it had an additional specialist sign.

Whether there are many patients depends on which specialist is on duty. Some specialists might notify their regular patients that this week they can only see a doctor by booking a specialist appointment, thus there are still very many patients.

This time Tao Zhijie’s clinic appointment was not of that nature, having not notified the patients beforehand and was temporarily replacing Associate Director Xue. The patients were new, and there were no regular patients rushing to ask the doctor for additional appointments. The number of patients was relatively less.

Considering these factors, when Tao Zhijie arrived, as he expected, there were not as many patients as during his regular outpatient sessions.

The entrance was not crowded, and new patients were unfamiliar with him as a doctor. It was the first encounter for both doctors and patients, and no one came up to greet the doctor as if meeting an old friend.

A row of patients waiting was seated on long benches in the hallway. Possibly knowing that the room was occupied by a highly respected specialist, the order was somewhat more organized than in regular clinics.

The doctor entered the clinic. The nurse had arranged the patient records neatly on the desk.

Tao Zhijie sat down, ready to see the patients.

Xie Wanying, not having been ordered to assist with writing the medical records, simply watched as Senior Tao picked up a patient’s file and prepared to write it himself.

Every teacher has a different teaching style. Like Teacher Tan who dislikes taking notes, Senior Tao loves to take notes, making his own notes and meeting records, never letting others write for him. Perhaps in Senior Tao’s view, this small task does not train medical students in any significant way. Writing, for a high-achieving student accustomed to scoring high on exams, is too easy. It is better for medical students to focus their energy on other things rather than being assigned these miscellaneous tasks by their teachers.

On the contrary, if he often makes records himself, it not only allows him to have a better understanding of the current patient’s conditions, but also enables him to document his medical experiences constantly. Through history, doctors’ medical case records have been incredibly valuable.

Students are learning and progressing every day, and teachers need to learn every day as well.

Having moved a stool next to Senior Tao’s desk, Xie Wanying glanced briefly at the patient’s records, ready for on-site learning. Wait, as she glanced at the records, the corner of Senior Tao’s eyes caught her face.
