Chapter 1180: [1180] Reasons for Shallow Breathing

Cao Yong knew how he performed in Hepatobiliary Surgery and probably planned to give him a bit of a wake-up call first.

Young doctors lack experience, and the greatest fear of senior doctors is that they’ll grow overconfident without a solid foundation. If something goes wrong, their entire medical career could be destroyed.

Compared to this Beidu Great Talented Scholar, their equally gifted junior female apprentice didn’t give them such cause for concern.

"Heading to the Respiratory Department next?" Cao Yong turned his head to speak to Xie Wanying, and his serious face immediately softened into a smile with dimples.

She was rotating through the specialties one by one, which meant she would soon be coming to his field, Neurosurgery.

"Yes." Xie Wanying replied to Senior Cao, wondering in her heart what kind of situation awaited her during this internal medicine internship. According to medical training regulations, whether one studies surgery or internal medicine, you have to rotate through surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology—there’s a deep purpose behind this. Now, she was about to experience her first non-surgical department. When she previously studied laboratory sciences, she hadn’t rotated through clinical departments like this. Everything was starting from scratch for her.

"She’s going to rotate in internal medicine, but why did they arrange for her to go to the Respiratory Department?" He Guangyou grumbled, voicing a question on many people’s minds.

He only saw Cao Yong and Tao Zhijie remain unbothered, each eating their food as if they hadn’t heard him speak. Clearly, the two of them knew something but weren’t willing to say it.

What’s there to worry about? Guoxie is a teaching hospital designated by the nation to train medical students and has accumulated years of valuable experience in this area.

It’s not always ideal to assign students to the best teachers in every specialty. For a surgical student like her, rotating in internal medicine, why would the great teachers of internal medicine expend effort teaching someone who’s determined to pursue surgery? The attention of such masters is naturally focused on nurturing internal medicine students who will continue their legacy.

Departments like Cardiology and Gastroenterology have many reputed experts, but they aren’t likely to pay much attention to her.

On the contrary, in a less prominent department like Respiratory Medicine, bringing in a medical student like Xie Wanying is akin to introducing a catalyst. It might stimulate the potential of the Respiratory Department. They were bound to value her there.

Even so, Respiratory Medicine, being part of Guoxie’s internal medicine team, still maintained a strong technical foundation. Finding a department that values students was far better than sending students to overburdened major departments to compete for attention.

The person who approved her internship plan was probably none other than Old Naughty Boy, President Wu, which would explain the clever decision to assign her to Respiratory Medicine.

That said, if it weren’t for her, Old Naughty Boy likely wouldn’t have personally bothered to arrange this. It’s not that her talents were so extraordinary, but rather that she possessed a quality more valuable than talent. Look at her classmates—each of them would inquire ahead of time about which department they’d be assigned to for their internships, and if it wasn’t a department they liked, they’d voice complaints. Xie Wanying, however, seemed unconcerned about such matters.

This kind of medical student who completely trusts their teachers is a favorite among educators. As a result, President Wu enjoyed concealing his identity around her, preferring to be known only as Teacher Wu.

As Cao Yong and Tao Zhijie thought about this, they glanced at her again. As expected, she didn’t latch onto He Guangyou’s words and ask follow-up questions.

Before long, her bowl was piled high with dishes served by her senior brothers, looking like a little mountain.

Saying goodbye to Senior Tao didn’t mean they’d never meet again. Just like Teacher Tan, she would continue to interact with the teachers of Hepatobiliary Surgery in the future and would frequently cross paths with Senior Tao again.

The dinner tonight was relaxed and cheerful, with no signs of the sadness usually associated with goodbyes.

The next day, she went to the Respiratory Department.

The Respiratory Department was located on the fourth floor of the inpatient building, sharing the same level as the Gastroenterology Department and Nephrology Department. Among them, the Gastroenterology Department, as Guoxie’s second-largest internal medicine specialty, had a larger area and more beds. The Respiratory and Nephrology Departments, on the other hand, could only be described as squeezed into the corners, with roughly the same number of beds.
