"Our Guoxie Obstetrics and Gynecology Department and the Beidu Third Hospital Obstetrics and Gynecology Department are both national emergency centers for critical maternal and fetal cases. Obstetric medical disputes rank first among all departments. Once at Beidu Third Hospital, Iâm helpless, afraid that distant water wonât put out a nearby fire. Therefore, whatever you do, possibly unlike other departments, needs to be extra cautious." While saying this, Ren Chongda specifically looked at the girls in the class with a warning look, "Medical disputes are not gender-selective."
Donât assume being a female doctor gives any advantage in this regard. In reality, in medical disputes, thereâs no distinction between male and female patients, male and female family members, and even male and female doctors. In cases of doctorâs murders, the proportion of female doctors killed is comparable to that of male doctors.
Xie Wanying understood what the counselor meant and nodded. Itâs known that the obstetrics department is a hard-hit area for medical disturbances, but there are very few male practitioners, so surely much of the trouble is directed at female doctors and nurses.
"Itâs good that you understand." Ren Chongda praised the two of them for being teachable in this aspect before speaking of the difference between Beidu Third Hospital and Guoxieâs Obstetrics Department, "As for that place, the nationâs first test-tube baby was famously born there. Their reproductive technology center is a separate building, whereas our Guoxie does not have that scale for now. However, both hospitals are state-designated rescue centers for critical maternal and fetal cases."
The counselorâs words were equivalent to saying, although Guoxieâs Obstetrics Department may have some flaws in the eyes of its own people, its golden signboard is actually not inferior to Beidu Third Hospital. Only in reproductive technology is Guoxie possibly lagging far behind Beidu Third. Guoxieâs obstetrics techniques are considered conservative by industry insiders. Itâs outstanding in its established fields but not daring enough in new aggressive techniques.
The entire obstetrics sectorâs demand market has long shifted to focus on treating infertility and achieving successful pregnancies. Maternal and neonatal mortality rates during delivery have already significantly reduced. Occasionally, those rescue news reports about childbirth do not negate the trend shown by statistical data. This is due to the development of the national economy, broadly improved education levels, later and later marriage ages, leading to an increasing number of older mothers. Including some previously deemed incurable diseases now known to be treatable, causing the public to rush to hospitals, leading to a surge in demands for this type of medical care. Guoxieâs obstetrics departmentâs conservativeness is likely more related to medical disputes.
For medical students, internships mainly aim to learn things, and if thereâs an opportunity, learning in the most advanced fields is undoubtedly of the greatest benefit to the students themselves. Studying at Beidu Third Hospital should be better than at Guoxie. Consider what can be learned in the obstetrics department, recalling Song Xuelingâs graduation thesis. In fact, many incurable diseases of humans are inescapable destinies, from being a fetus it is already predestined, only humanity has no means yet to discover or resolve them. This is simultaneously the ultimate field that the entire development of medicine must involve.
After listening to the counselorâs teachings, Xie Wanying and Student Geng together left the teacherâs office. She intended to discuss with her classmates about going to Beidu Third Hospital to meet the teacher the next day, but unexpectedly, Student Geng left the office and walked away alone.
In the evening, Li Qiâan called the dormitory with goodwill to give Student Xie the inside information.
"We know you and Geng Yongzhe are going together to Beidu Third Hospital. For him, in our class heâs considered an independent and solitary person. So, Yingying, itâs not surprising that he doesnât work with you. Heâs the same with us. We originally thought his attitude towards us was because heâs a surgery student while we are internal medicine students, but according to Shihuaâs group, his personality is just like that."
