After all, Xie Wanying was the doctor who promised she wouldn’t leave her behind, so the patient trusted her more.
"These two are Doctor Dong, a cardiovascular doctor, and Doctor Li, a cardiothoracic surgeon. Both are specialists in treating heart diseases and have extensive experience in managing cardiovascular conditions, so they are providing you with professional recomndations," Xie Wanying explained to the patient in detail.
A mont ago, a group of doctors spoke a bunch of dical jargon, leaving the patient completely confused. What would happen now? After listening to Xie Wanying’s explanation, the patient let out an "Oh," as if they understood everything, and pointed to Li Chengyuan, saying, "I’ll follow his suggestion and go ahead with that test."
Doctor Dong sighed inwardly: How did I lose?
What did you just say, Xiao Dong? Xin Yanjun glared fiercely at Doctor Dong.
It might be because his suggestion didn’t save the patient money. Comprehensive and ticulous tests can be costly. But in reality, the more ambiguous a patient’s condition, the greater the need for detailed tests to rule out possibilities and make an accurate diagnosis. Only with a precise diagnosis can the clinical treatnt plan be reliably guided, and that’s the responsible attitude a doctor should have toward the patient.
Doctor Dong frowned, montarily unable to figure out where he went wrong.
A doctor thinking comprehensively and cautiously for the patient’s sake isn’t wrong. It’s just that Doctor Dong was too honest. In contrast, Doctor Li was clever and cunning. He understood that most patients prefer doctors who don’t ask for too many tests, just one or two precise ones—this strategy makes the doctor appear more skilled. Especially since this particular patient didn’t even want to undergo a single additional test.
Xin Yanjun turned her head and snorted to herself. Her classmate was truly sly, knowing exactly when to strike.
Li Chengyuan crossed his arms and let a calm smirk curl at the corner of his lips: As a doctor, how could you survive without adapting on the spot?
The doctors filled out the test requisition form, and Sister Seo arranged for soone to escort the patient for testing.
While the patient was off getting tested, the doctors returned to the nurses’ station. Since there were no patients at the mont, this was their opportunity to rest, leaving one person to wait for the test results. Besides being sleepy, after a busy night, all their stomachs were growling with hunger.
Xin Yanjun prepared to call and order so late-night snacks, then asked the intern, "What do you feel like eating?"
"My childhood friend should be delivering snacks soon," Xie Wanying replied.
Upon hearing her words, everyone instinctively glanced toward Yin Fengchun, who was standing in the corner making a phone call.
"I’ve told you this so many tis already. You need to rest properly and stop staying up all night. As for , snacks or no snacks, it doesn’t matter. Whether it’s you or soone else delivering them, it’s all the sa," he said.
"That won’t do. It’s not just you—Yingying is also working the night shift in the ER. She needs proper nutrition, too. You doctors really stay up all night, but I can sleep once I’m done here. Don’t stress out over it. Don’t overwork yourself."
"I won’t, don’t worry, I won’t burn myself out—" Yin Fengchun responded on the phone, though the icy expression on his face softened faintly, showing a shy, almost rosy smile.
Not far away, Zhang Wang noticed his expression and covered her mouth, laughing quietly.
The once-stern Frog Prince now looked like a bashful little boy with that smile. Sister Seo was overjoyed and joked to the other doctors, "Did Doctor Yin take the wrong dication tonight?"
"No, he didn’t take the wrong dication—he took a love potion," quipped Doctor Dong, the one who coined the term "Frog Prince." He analyzed seriously, "When the Frog Prince has the warmth of love, he can transform from an aloof figure into an adorable little frog."
