Chapter 1208: [1208] New Arrangement

Xie Wanying told Teacher Nie that she hasn’t yet started her pediatric rotation, but these assignments can be prepared in advance.

Hearing her response, Nie Jiamin was very pleased and said to her directly, “Next time, I’ll bring you some English textbooks.”

There’s likely a difference between the overseas textbook editions and those used domestically, and reading more books can broaden one’s knowledge base. This was a good learning opportunity. Xie Wanying immediately thanked Teacher Nie.

Other passing doctors overheard Nie Jiamin’s words and squinted their eyes: the person from overseas in front of them was clearly even bolder than those in respiratory medicine. Without the student even being assigned to her department, she was already pulling strings to recruit her.

Xie Wanying returned to Teacher Xin’s side.

“Let’s go, it’s too late now, and the cafeteria probably doesn’t have anything decent left. I’ll take you outside to eat. Tell me what you feel like having,” Xin Yanjun said warmly, placing a hand on the student’s shoulder.

Teacher Xin was both considerate and straightforward, demonstrating the bold demeanor of a heroine.

As the teacher-student pair walked away, a group of people behind them watched Xin Yanjun’s departing figure, continuing to ponder in their minds: where did this “Bo Le Eye” of hers come from?

It should be said that since both were female doctors, Xin Yanjun was even more acutely aware of the unique challenges women faced while learning medicine. Coincidentally, the abilities Xie Wanying displayed were precisely the strengths most female doctors lacked—an exceptional talent in which she was as outstanding as anyone in the field, capable of reaching the pinnacle of her profession.

No matter the profession, when technical skills reach the top level, there’s no longer a division between male and female. For this reason, Xin Yanjun believed she could see more clearly and more quickly than male doctors the technical potential in Xie Wanying.

The teacher and student shared a meal of braised noodles outside, exchanging discussions about internal medicine as they ate.

“When it comes to internal medicine, it’s not just respiratory—you’ve got many specialties. Simply rotating through our department won’t give you exposure to everything. But that’s okay. Starting next week, I’ve been scheduled for emergency department shifts. It’s a prearranged plan by our department, and when I’m on shift, I’ll bring you along. That way, you can learn more about internal medicine,” Xin Yanjun said with a smile to Student Xie.

The subtext of Teacher Xin’s words was clear: for someone as talented as you, there’s no way they’d let you waste time idly in the internal medicine ward.

This arrangement was beyond Xie Wanying’s expectations.

She had initially thought the internal medicine ward would be quieter, giving her time to borrow some medical books and study. She hadn’t expected her mysterious supervisor in charge of her rotations to have no intention of giving her an easy ride—instead, throwing her into the deep end once again to struggle and learn how to swim.

The internal medicine emergency department could not be compared to the wards or outpatient clinics; its intensity was on par with surgery—busy from start to finish with barely any time to rest.

Teacher Xin wasn’t wrong. Working shifts in the internal medicine emergency department would provide broad exposure to cases across various specialties, offering a more comprehensive understanding and experience of internal medicine. Staying in just one department’s ward would limit what she could learn about internal medicine overall.

The same principle applied to surgery. As a surgical student, it was only a matter of time before she’d be assigned shifts in the surgical emergency department. An opportunity like this to work in internal medicine emergency was exceedingly valuable for a surgical trainee.

This internship arrangement left Xie Wanying feeling both thrilled and eager. Although the emergency department was far tougher compared to the wards, there was no doubt she’d learn much more.

That evening, she shared the news over the phone with her childhood friend. When Wu Lixuan learned she was heading to the emergency department, she brought up Yin Fengchun: “He said he’s doing night shifts in the emergency department this week. Doesn’t that mean the two of you will be working together soon? In that case, I’ll bring you both a late-night snack this evening.”
