The departnts that could admit this patient might include Gastroenterology, General Surgery Departnt One, and General Surgery Departnt Two.
Knowing so unspoken rules within the hospital, Xie Wanying couldn’t help but consider: Teacher Xin’s test for her likely wasn’t about skills. Knowing she ca out of General Surgery Departnt Two, was this an opportunity for her to win favor with the teachers there? Otherwise, the question definitely wouldn’t have directly asked which departnt to admit the patient into—it should have started by asking her about the patient’s diagnosis and then discussing treatnt strategies.
And indeed, that was the case. With a patient exhibiting such typical symptoms, making a diagnosis shouldn’t be hard for a student with her level of expertise. Xin Yanjun wasn’t one to waste words. She slightly smiled at the corner of her lips and then glanced at the student again.
As a fellow female doctor, she deeply understood how difficult it was for won to make a na for themselves in clinical practice. Won simply weren’t born with the energy and physical stamina to match male doctors. Plus, so female dical students were more introverted and reserved, struggling with interpersonal relationships. To navigate these challenges required thoughtfulness and ntal effort—it wasn’t enough to simply master technical skills. Hospitals placed a great emphasis on teamwork.
Xie Wanying was doing her best to think things through, but unfortunately, handling interpersonal relationships had never been her strong suit, either before or after her rebirth.
She wasn’t even sure about Teacher Xin’s relationship with General Surgery Departnt Two.
It’s said that so departnts had private cooperative relationships—where the agreent might be, "you take in my patient when you encounter them, and I take in yours when I encounter them."
Did Respiratory dicine and General Surgery Departnt Two have such cooperation? Or did Gastroenterology and General Surgery Departnt One share similar private collaborations?
She didn’t know anything about the private relationships between these departnts and their teachers, only aware that Teacher Xin and Doctor Li used to be classmates, and their relationship seed to be sowhat rivalrous.
Her mom’s criticism was spot-on: unlike Li Xuan, she wasn’t skilled at dealing with people. Being good with people, maintaining cordial relationships everywhere, ensured one never offended others and avoided feeling confused at monts like this.
Drawing from past colleagues’ handling experiences, Xie Wanying first asked the patient, "Have you ever been treated at our hospital before?"
This upper gastrointestinal bleeding wasn’t a sudden issue—it had a history, and the patient likely had seen a doctor before.
The patient and his son shook their heads after hearing the question.
"No, my dad sotis felt discomfort in his stomach before, but he didn’t go to the hospital for treatnt; he just bought dication from a pharmacy. We didn’t expect it to get this severe this ti."
This illustrated how the general public in the country often ignored minor illnesses until they escalated into major ones requiring hospital care.
The patient’s son asked, "Doctor, what’s my dad’s current condition?"
"You can see his pale complexion, which is caused by the upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The blood loss is significant, leading to anemia. He needs to be hospitalized for treatnt." Following her teacher’s guidance, Xie Wanying explained the patient’s condition to the family. "Do you believe hospitalization would be appropriate for the patient? Being in the hospital would allow for more systematic treatnt."
"Of course! Please arrange for my dad to be hospitalized imdiately." The patient’s son accepted the doctor’s suggestion without hesitation.
"Have you researched which doctor in our hospital you want him to see?" Xie Wanying thoughtfully asked another question, prioritizing the patient’s preferences.
"No, you doctors know better than I do which doctors are good. Doctor, please help us find a great specialist to treat my dad," the patient’s son requested.
At Guoxie, every departnt had expert doctors, whether it was Gastroenterology, General Surgery Departnt One, or General Surgery Departnt Two—none of them fell short. If transferred to surgery, it wouldn’t necessarily an an operation; if transferred to internal dicine, the patient might later be referred back to surgery. This would depend on how the patient’s condition developed. Since the patient had asked her to find a good specialist, she was most familiar with General Surgery Departnt Two and could start by connecting the patient with the teachers from there.
