medical treatment

After Yu Zhiming asked the two surgeons questions to find fault with their operations, it was time for lunch.

When he returned to the third basement floor of Zhizhen Building, he saw Shen Qi, Duan Yi and others wearing fashionable clothes made by the Zhou family. They were so conspicuous walking around that it was unbearable to look at them.

Yu Zhiming greeted Zhou Hao who was recording the modified parts and was about to go back to the office for lunch, but was stopped by a young woman.

"Doctor Yu, do you still remember me?"

Yu Zhiming looked at the well-dressed woman in her early twenties who came with Zhou Hao, and nodded, "Of course I remember, Wang Ru, who used to work at the Baixian Pavilion Hotel."

Wang Ru said with a smile on her face: "Doctor Yu, I haven't thanked you formally yet. You changed my life."

As she spoke, she bowed to Yu Zhiming.

Her action reminded Yu Zhiming of the dinner with teacher Qi Yue at Baixiange nearly a year ago. It was the waitress Wang Ru who asked them to save her colleague.

Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "I am unworthy of your thanks. You should thank yourself for your kindness and courage, Zhou Mo for giving you the job, and Boss Zhou for teaching you the skills."

Wang Ru chuckled and said, "If I hadn't known your abilities and your willingness to help, I wouldn't have had the courage to ask for help at that time."

Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "Keep being kind and keep working hard."

After saying that, he walked into the soundproof office and saw that Zhou Mo had already set up lunch.

Today's lunch was brought by Shen Qi, and there are grilled lamb chops, braised lamb with skin, and stir-fried lamb. The vegetarian dish is a plate of refreshing cold vegetarian mixed vegetables, and the soup is lamb soup.

Yu Zhiming sat down at the coffee table and asked, "How is Wang Ru doing in your studio?"

Zhou Mo introduced her: "She is very good, hardworking and studious, and has a lively eye. My mother likes her very much."

She chuckled again and said, "She has said more than once that we changed her life."

"She said she didn't even finish high school and thought she would either be a waitress or work on an assembly line in a factory. She never expected she could make beautiful clothes."

Zhou Mo suddenly sighed: "I think everyone has a stage and career that best suits them, but only a few are lucky enough to find the best match."

"Hey, Doctor Yu, do you think being a doctor is the most suitable profession for you to display your abilities?"

Yu Zhiming thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure about that. I haven't tried other professions."

"From the current situation, I am doing a good job as a doctor. Although it is hard work, I have gained a lot."

Zhou Mo said: "With your perseverance and character, Dr. Yu, I firmly believe that you will achieve outstanding results even if you start in other industries."

She smiled and said, “Many online novels have stories about an ordinary person who travels to another world or ancient times, and then conquers all the way and eventually becomes a hegemon.”

"If this really happens, he probably won't survive more than three episodes. How could an ordinary person's mentality and thinking mode be able to do anything just by changing the environment?"

Yu Zhiming laughed and said, "So, online novels always give the protagonist a cheat code that others can't have."

Zhou Mo said with a smile: "Doctor Yu, your hearing is super sensitive. Is it a gift from God?"

Yu Zhiming said happily: "Maybe it is..."

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Yue finished his diagnosis and treatment and returned to the seventh floor. He was surprised to find his eldest son waiting outside the director's office.

"Why are you here? Are you just stopping by for something, or are you here to see me specifically about something?"

As Qi Yue asked, he carefully looked at his son's expression, but his face was tense and he couldn't tell any information.

"I came to see you for something." Xiang Tao replied and followed Qi Yue into the office.

Qi Yue personally made a cup of tea for Xiang Tao and took him to sit on the sofa in the reception area.

"There's a consultation in fifteen minutes. If you don't have enough time, we can talk over dinner."

Xiang Tao hesitated for a moment and said, "Fifteen minutes is enough to make things clear." He picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip, but realized the tea was too hot, so he put the cup back.

After another moment of silence, Xiang Tao said, "Dad, after thinking it over, I want to become an internist."

What? Become a physician?
After Qi Yue confirmed that he had not heard wrongly, his head suddenly swelled up.

It is also allowed for surgeons to switch to being internists, but this requires an exam and approval.

However, as medical care becomes increasingly segmented, especially in large hospitals with standardized management and sufficient staff, it is rare for doctors to switch from surgery to internal medicine, unless they have just joined the workforce or have worked for a few years.

"Become an internist?"

"Do you think this is just a game, something that can be accomplished with just a touch of lips?"

"You are now the attending physician of the general surgery department of Tiantan Hospital and have been involved in surgery for five or six years."

Xiang Tao looked at his excited father and explained, "I chose surgery out of spite. Because you are an internist, I thought that I could make a name for myself in surgery without your help and influence."

"A few years later..."

Xiang Tao sighed and said, "I finally realized that I still like working in internal medicine more. I am not very talented in surgery. If I work hard for decades, maybe I can finally retire as a chief physician."

"I want to change back while I'm still young and have time."

He looked into Qi Yue's eyes with bright eyes and said, "In the past few years, I have been studying books on gastroenterology. The surgical work in the past few years has given me a detailed understanding of the physiological structure of lesions in the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver and other parts."

"I think that with this foundation, it will only take me two or three years to succeed in gastroenterology."

"You think, you think..."

Qi Yue angrily said, "Xiang Tao, you are already an adult in your thirties, why are you still so childish?"

"Many internists have worked for decades without making any name for themselves, and you actually dream of achieving success in just two or three years."

"Who gave you the courage?"

Xiang Tao frowned and asked, "Dad, are you so pessimistic about my career in internal medicine?"

Qi Yue took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said: "Surgeons can gradually improve and hone their surgical skills through one operation after another. As long as they are willing to endure hardships, they can still become chief physicians."

"But Internal Medicine..."

After a pause, Qi Yue said, "I value the doctor's spirit and intelligence more. Success cannot be achieved through hard work alone."

"In the internal medicine department, we can see that some young doctors quickly come to the fore and make brilliant achievements, but many doctors work hard their entire lives but cannot even cross the threshold of associate chief physician."

Xiang Tao's face turned ugly.

"Dad, do you think I'm not smart enough to be a physician?"

Qi Yue was silent for a moment, then said, "I have trained more than a dozen chief physicians in internal medicine, so I think I have good vision."

"Let me put it this way. The qualifications and abilities you have shown do not meet my guidance standards."

Xiang Tao was stunned and blurted out, "I can't even meet your standards to be accepted by you, so how can I be accepted by Yu Zhiming?"

Qi Yue understood instantly.

"The reason you want to become a physician is because you want to learn from Zhiming..."
