Doctor: I'll Take This Case
Three people, two permanent positions.
One is a doctoral graduate trained by the department director; another is the vice president's student.
After completing three years of surgical training, Liang Jiale returned to the affiliated hospital of his alma mater. He wanted to stay, and he wanted to perform more surgeries.
On his first day at work, he realized that something was wrong with the words "vital signs stable" during the handover.
The patient was promptly sent back to the operating room, and the bleeding was brought under control. But someone wanted him to delete half a sentence from the surgical record.
That same day, Liang Jiale discovered that he could see what other people truly thought of him.
Patients might say, "I'll leave it all to the doctor," while still having concerns they were afraid to voice. His superiors might criticize him to his face, while already recognizing his ability in their hearts.
And the reputation he earned through his own efforts could win him opportunities to review cases and train in surgery.
From a flawless appendectomy to complex dissections, repairs, and reconstructions; from assisting his superiors in the operating room to having people specifically wait for him to take over.
Liang Jiale grew busier and busier, and his hand became ever steadier on the scalpel.
At first, he asked, "Professor, can I do the next one?"
Later, others asked:
"Is Liang Jiale available for this operation?"
