Chapter 1198: 【1198】Urgent Consultation
Clinical teachers can teach, but there are always things that can only be understood intuitively and cannot be fully articulated. These require dical students to comprehend on their own. dicine is a profession where you learn throughout your entire career—starting from dical students who learn from patients, to doctors without ntors who have no choice but to self-learn through their patients. Rotating through departnts is rely an opportunity to encounter a greater variety of diseases.
Therefore, the issue was never about her taking internal dicine’s business. It was simply about the fact that she treated the patient, and in the process, completed the learning objectives of a coursework.
Cao Yong’s words silenced everyone.
Zhu Huicang rolled his eyes toward the ceiling, pondering that if he possessed the confidence of his old classmate Cao Yong and the “robot,” perhaps he wouldn’t have rushed forward like this. What he truly feared was Xie Wanying gaining an affinity for internal dicine through studying under the internal dicine teachers and perhaps developing thoughts of switching from surgery to internal dicine. There were indeed such surgical students who existed.
However, fear is useless. How respiratory internal dicine chooses to ntor her is entirely up to the internal dicine teachers; surgery has no say in the matter. If surgical teachers are concerned about their students being poached by internal dicine, they should demonstrate their own capabilities to attract students rather than imposing expectations on them. Cao Yong’s statent was accurate.
It’s likely that in these three months of her internship in internal dicine, Zhu Huicang will be left worrying incessantly for three months. He placed a hand over his chest and glanced at his old classmate Cao Yong: Could you truly maintain your composure for the full three months?
As you’ve said, she’s highly skilled. Let’s wait and see what benefit she will bring to internal dicine next.

The following afternoon, right around the end of the workday.
A phone call from another departnt reached the respiratory internal dicine departnt.
Director Li, who had just returned from outside, imdiately convened his team of doctors to discuss the matter.
Xie Wanying followed Teacher Xin into the director’s office.
“The pediatric surgery departnt’s doctors called us. They’re hoping soone from our team can bring a bronchoscope over to help retrieve a foreign object from the bronchus of a pediatric patient,” Director Li inford the team about the urgent consultation request he had received.
The respiratory internal dicine doctors reacted to the task with surprised murmurs.
At Guoxie, unlike so hospitals where only the respiratory internal dicine departnt performs bronchoscopy, the cardiothoracic surgery departnt’s strong capabilities often ant that cases involving potential ergency operations were typically referred to cardiothoracic surgery first. This approach aid to avoid repeating efforts if the procedure failed, and to avoid offending cardiothoracic surgery.
Who was the physician who defied convention and directly called upon respiratory internal dicine? Clearly, this person had great confidence in the respiratory doctors’ skills, believing they could carry out the procedure successfully in one attempt without needing a surgeon.
But who could it be? While respiratory internal dicine should feel honored, upon hearing that the case involved a pediatric surgical patient—
“Yes, the patient is a five-year-old boy.” Director Li cleared his throat, sharing the combination of excitent, anticipation, and unease felt across the departnt.
Performing a bronchoscopy on a pediatric patient is far more challenging than on an adult. A child’s trachea is significantly smaller than that of an adult, even though bronchoscopes offer specialized pediatric attachnts suited for younger patients.
“Isn’t it usually cardiothoracic surgery? Why are they suddenly calling us now?” The group of respiratory doctors began to hesitate, speculating about the unexpected decision to involve their departnt.
