Chapter 1432: Chapter 1432: Her Life Was Changed Because of Her

First and foremost when a doctor encounters a patient, they must be vigilant about diagnosing these diseases and know to rule them out.

During her internship, she primarily trained in dental medicine and lacked clinical experience in this field, which led to the misdiagnosis.

Back then, she personally asked the patient, who said it was a toothache and didn’t mention chest pain. If they had, she wouldn’t have been foolish enough to say the chest pain turned into a toothache. As it happened, this patient had a cavity. If given some time, to ascertain that it was the entire gum that hurt and not just a single tooth, she might have considered other possible causes.

But an acute patient never gives a doctor time. Death God came too quickly, and the patient’s sudden heart attack scared her into a mental shutdown like a computer going offline.

The teacher was right to scold her. Right because after the incident, she forgot how to perform emergency cardiac resuscitation. Right because she was too arrogant in her initial judgment.

Her mother kept nagging that it was Xie Wanying and their fault. Unlike her mother, she wanted to become a doctor. Though she was terrified and regretful at the time, she needed to regain her clarity. In clinical practice, you learn from your mistakes; blaming Xie Wanying wouldn’t make her a skilled physician, what mattered was learning well.

Later, instead of continuing her postgraduate studies at her alma mater, she burned the midnight oil to challenge the hardest entrance exams of Guoxie. The major difference between Guoxie’s dental department and others is that Guoxie is closely connected with other clinical departments, covering a broader scope of research. Her medical career would change dramatically from then on.

After closing the door, Lin Liqiong approached Xie Wanying and adjusted her glasses, asking softly, “When do you graduate?”

Upon hearing this, Xie Wanying confirmed that this senior sister knew her.

“In two years.”

“I hope we can meet often in the future,” Lin Liqiong said to her with deep meaning, convinced she would undoubtedly become a cardiologist. Because on that train, that beautiful cardiac resuscitation technique was clearly a preview.

“Li Qiong, serve tea to Teacher Zhang and them,” Professor Shen said to the student, himself rising from his desk to warmly welcome the colleagues.

Lin Liqiong moved to the tea table to brew tea.

Zhang Huayao, helping his mother sit in the chair, expressed gratitude to his colleague: “Thank you, Professor Shen, for sparing your precious time to see my mother’s teeth.”

“Director Zhang, you are too polite. Thank me for what? I know your mother. Teacher Lu taught classes at the medical school back then, and I was once her student.” Professor Shen winked at the mother and son, pulled out a doctor’s chair to sit down, and chatted with the patient, “Teacher Lu, have you forgotten me? When I returned to study medicine, you taught us pharmacology. Your lessons were so wonderful, a group of us students remember you well.”

Teacher Lu said shyly, “I forgot more with age.”

“That’s not the reason. It’s because you’re too outstanding, Teacher Lu, you have so many students that you can’t remember small fry like me,” Professor Shen said.

Small fry? Actually, Professor Shen was already fifty years old.

Teacher Lu chuckled warmly.

“Teacher, here, I’ll assist you to the dental chair, and let’s find out which tooth is having the issue. Director Zhang didn’t clarify much on the phone,” Professor Shen said as he personally helped the teacher up.

“He’s not in your specialty, of course, he can’t understand as you do,” Teacher Lu teased her talkative foster son, affecting the specialist’s diagnosis.
