Chapter 185: [185] The senior brother beca solemn
After the vacation ended, the doctors needed to review the situation of each patient in their care and arrange treatnt plans.
At the sa ti, a large number of dical students flooded in, ready to form groups and undergo ntorship. At the office door of the doctors, in the middle of the corridor, stood a group of bemused dical students. Seeing Xie Wanying, they seed to recognize her and waved her over to join them.
As Xie Wanying took a step forward, she heard soone call out.
“Yingying, co here.”
It was Senior Brother Huang calling. She quickly turned around to find Senior Brother.
When she reached Huang Zhilei, he cautioned her, “Don’t wander off; stick close to , alright?”
Little junior sister was too naive, always at risk of being led astray. Huang Zhilei was on high alert now.
Xie Wanying nodded.
Glancing at his watch, Huang Zhilei said, “Let’s move the dical records to Senior Cao’s office first, then go to the departntal office for the handover eting.”
The patients’ dical records were kept on the record cart at the nurses’ station. Before each shift change and round, the doctors’ teams would go there to collect the relevant patients’ dical records.
When Xie Wanying followed Senior Brother over, she saw that the records on the cart had already been partially taken.
“Senior Cao is in charge of the third group of patients. There are a total of eleven beds,” Huang Zhilei said as he pulled out the records and stacked them up, carrying so himself and letting his junior sister carry so to get a feel for it.
Her arms were heavy with several volus of dical records, since these cases were filed within tal binders for protection.
Upon arriving at Senior Cao’s office, they found it cramd with as many as seventeen or eighteen people. Most were interns assigned to the group, along with resident physicians who would follow Senior Cao and Senior Brother Huang. There was only one attending physician, her Senior Brother Huang.
In that instant, Xie Wanying realized sothing. She had often heard that neurosurgery had the easiest retention because it was the most understaffed; was it true?
Looking at Senior Cao, a man who normally radiated a carefree and jovial deanor, his expression now was quite solemn. While flipping through the dical records Huang Zhilei had brought over, he put on his white coat and said to the others, “Let’s go, ti for the eting.”
Everyone obeyed the command and moved to the departntal office.
The departntal office was even more daunting, a narrow space with dical students already crowding the doorway. Huang Zhilei, leading the way, shouted, “Make way, don’t crowd the door.”
The dical students ford two lines to open a path, allowing the departnt’s doctors, associate directors, and directors to enter and gather around the central desk. The other people either stood behind the ho doctors or were squeezed out altogether, compelled to listen to the handover as if antennas were mounted on their heads.
Surveying the crowded room, Xie Wanying then looked at the small whiteboard in the departntal office, which finally had so information written on it. The last ti she ca, it was blank, probably because of the collective Spring Festival vacation.
From the information on the whiteboard to the visible doctor naplates, Xie Wanying counted internally. It seed that the staffing situation in the neurosurgery departnt was approximately as follows: there were five doctor groups, each responsible for around ten beds. There were four senior associates, including her Senior Cao, Director Lv whom she had t before, Associate Director Liu, and a Professor surnad Zhuang. There was one senior director, Director Chen. Retired doctors were not counted. Each senior associate and the senior director were in charge of one team of doctors, just enough.
There were seven attending physicians, including her Senior Brother Huang. However, there were at least fifteen or sixteen residents.
It was evident that the neurosurgery departnt was continuously recruiting. The reason, Xie Wanying recalled from the little tidbits previously shared by her senior sisters, was that once the new surgical building was finished, neurosurgery was planning to establish a separate division. That ant neurosurgery would effectively be split into two sections, so there was a need to train enough doctors in advance.
