Chapter 73: 【73】Add one more chapter
The two senior sisters smiled at Xie Wanying, “Welco back!”
Before Xie Wanying could react, the senior sisters had already pulled her into the dormitory.
A small folding table was set up in the middle of the dormitory, with McDonald’s hamburgers, fried chicken wings, and more. It goes without saying how expensive McDonald’s was at that ti.
“Don’t think it’s just for you to eat, we’re going to eat too,” said the senior sisters, imdiately dissipating the junior sister’s awkwardness.
The three sat down.
Confronted by her senior sisters, Xie Wanying was sowhat shy, not daring to speak up, and she sneakily observed the two seniors.
One seed older, with a quiet deanor, her hair braided into a thick plait, and a delicate and pretty face. The other appeared younger, obviously fond of laughing, with bright eyes when she smiled, and a round face like a big, rosy red apple, extrely cute.
As for cuteness, both senior sisters thought the junior sister was adorable, giggling and talking to each other:
“Thinking back to our freshman year, we were the sa, not daring to speak to anyone.”
“It’s because there are so few of us. After all these years, a girls’ dormitory just can’t stay full.”
“The junior sister is called Xie Wanying, right?” asked the one with the round face, turning to her.
Xie Wanying nodded and asked, “Yes, may I know how to address you two senior sisters?”
“I’m He Xiangyu, currently in clinical practice, from the ’93 batch. I’m specializing in pathology. She’s specializing in anesthesiology, from the ’92 batch, Lau Jingyun. You can call second senior sister, and her first senior sister, since right now there are only the three of us female students studying. Of course, there are senior sisters who have graduated and found jobs. But ultimately, there are fewer, especially those in clinical practice. There’s no way around it, the Guoxie Eight-Year Program admits fewer female students for clinical practice. Many female doctors in clinical practice didn’t co out of the eight-year program,” said the second senior sister, He Xiangyu.
This could only an one thing: everyone knew that female doctors weren’t really welcod in clinical practice.
“They say internal dicine hires more won. But our senior fellow student Li, who graduated last year and stayed in gastroenterology—she never gets to do endoscopy. They say the chief always thinks won lack the practical skills, timid and shrinking, saying won are better suited for dispensing dication and doing basic research. When your own chief disdains the female doctors he hired, what can you say?” He Xiangyu said, spreading her hands, “Not to ntion surgery, aside from so-called obstetrics and gynecology, no other surgical departnt wants a female doctor.”
“Mmm.” Lau Jingyun, the less talkative first senior sister, couldn’t help but nod vigorously upon hearing this, as she, specializing in anesthesiology, felt the sa way, given that anesthesiology also requires significant practical clinical skills.
But anesthesiology was certainly much better than clinical surgery, as it didn’t involve outright rejection of female doctors.
It’s not just female doctors who have it tough in the country; discrimination against won in employnt has always existed in all professions.
“I heard they don’t even like to hire won in the finance departnt,” whispered He Xiangyu. “They say it’s a hassle dealing with won taking maternity leave and having to go ho to care for children.”
So, with the Guoxie Eight-Year Program being such a prestigious label, the market demand has led to hesitancy and selectiveness when it cos to admitting female students.
“You’re studying surgery?”
Both senior sisters suddenly looked at her.
Xie Wanying replied, “Yes.”
“You’re amazing.”
The direct praise from the two senior sisters caught Xie Wanying off guard: “Not really.”
“We heard about it; you just started school and brought Instructor Ren two silk banners, all praising you for saving people,” the senior sisters said, winking and smiling at her.
