"Monitor, I have a question for you." Xie Wanying leaned in and asked.
It was rare for the class’s top female student to seek advice from others, and everyone perked up their ears to hear what she had to say.
"What issue, go ahead."
Monitor’s steady voice drifted over.
Xie Wanying boldly asked, "Monitor, you’re very knowledgeable about neurosurgery. Do you know Director Zhai from Fangze Hospital’s neurosurgery departnt?"
Monitor Yue’s focus was on neurosurgery, so he surely knew more about the neurosurgical community than other classmates.
Indeed, Yue Wentong effortlessly answered her, "Fangze’s neurosurgery is well-known, with a large number of patients and nine wards. Director Zhai Yunsheng is a renowned neurosurgery expert in the country, specializing in intracranial tumors, especially the most challenging glioma treatnt and surgery. At Fangze, he’s the best at treating gliomas, recognized nationwide. He serves as the director in the second ward."
In simple terms, this person is a top expert in the neurosurgical circle.
Other students who hadn’t been to Fangze were surprised to hear this introduction from the Monitor. Li Qi’an asked, "Monitor, how does it compare to our Guoxie?"
If ranking hospitals by their neurosurgical comprehensive technical capabilities, which includes the overall average technical level of doctors and the hardware and software facilities, it’s evident from where the public prefers to seek treatnt.
Fangze, like Beidou Third Hospital, specializes in a leading departnt aiming to create the nation’s number one neurosurgery center, nearly becoming a specialized hospital like Guo Zhi Hospital. All financial resources are concentrated in a single departnt, which shows results, and it’s obvious Guoxie’s neurosurgery can’t compete with it.
Guoxie focuses on comprehensive skills across all departnts, not on singular departntal strengths.
"You should understand that doctors and hospitals are not quite the sa." Yue Wentong earnestly advised his classmates.
No matter how good a hospital is, there are differences in the skill level among doctors. Moreover, regardless of a doctor’s technical prowess, if they’re unwilling to perform a surgery for a patient, their skills don’t really matter.
There are frequent reports of special cases in the news where patients go to the most renowned hospitals for treatnt only to find their doctors unwilling to perform the surgery, forcing them to seek a doctor willing to operate at a lesser hospital.
It’s understandable for a dical student to want to work in the most advanced hospital environnt, but the key thing to discern is whether or not a doctor can and will save a patient, which is a personal matter rather than related to the hospital.
If a doctor is determined to save soone, can the hospital stop them? The law never prohibits anyone from saving lives. Having experienced the painful ordeal of seeking treatnt when his mother was ill, Yue Wentong despises those doctors who use hospital rules as an excuse not to save lives.
He doesn’t know the true situation inside Fangze, as he has never been there. But he knows Senior Cao is impressive in the field and is aware Senior Cao is an excellent and charismatic doctor, and he just wants to learn from Senior Cao.
The other students understood the Monitor’s words. What they didn’t understand was, Li Qi’an asked, "Yingying, why did you suddenly ask the Monitor about Fangze?"
"Here’s what happened," Geng Yongzhe helped explain for Student Xie, "Tonight, when Yingying and I were escorting the patient to Fangze, we t Director Zhai. He recognized us as students from Guoxie. Yingying and I haven’t t him before and don’t know how he identified us. Do you know, Monitor?"
"Director Zhai knows you?" Yue Wentong was puzzled by their account, "Director Zhai, being a neurosurgical expert, might have visited Guoxie for academic exchanges with Senior Cao and others, but as for how he recognized you—"
