Chapter 111: I Prefer It
The entire conference room was silent as if the air had frozen. No one had expected this answer!
Sadly, the emergency department was a department that 90% of doctors were extremely unwilling to choose.
What was the reason?
The work was risky and the labor intensity was high. It was at the forefront of the storm.
Another reason was that the emergency department was often in contact with more family members, who came from more varied backgrounds, as compared to the family members of the patients in the inpatient department. Furthermore, the emergency department was especially unsafe, and also most prone to medical disputes.
Therefore, it was very normal that fewer and fewer people were willing to go to the emergency department.
It was no wonder that everyone was so surprised after Jiang Tingxu finished talking.
The deputy hospital director’s eyebrows twitched a few times, and he even took a deep breath:
“Dr Jiang, could you tell us what made you choose the emergency department?”
Jiang Tingxu’s ability had already been displayed in front of the entire hospital. She could go to any department as long as she wanted to. The director of the orthopaedics department had even personally invited her just now!
Emergency department? Why was it the emergency department?
“I… prefer it.”
Cough.
Everyone was shocked by this reply.
However, Jiang Tingxu spoke again:
“Director, my inclination is clear. Please approve it!”
Since she had already said that, she might as well make it clear on the spot.
Otherwise, she would have to go through a lot of trouble in the future.
The director seemed to sigh a few times in succession. After all, no matter how much manpower the orthopaedics department lacked, it was definitely not as tight as the emergency department.
For the emergency department, no matter how many doctors there were, it was often not enough!
She had already clearly stated that she wanted to stay in the emergency department. Normally, everyone would be very happy about something like that. So how could they deny her that now!
The hospital director picked up the teacup in front of him and took two sips. Finally, he regained the calmness that a leader should have:
“Since that’s the case, and Dr Jiang is determined to stay in the emergency department voluntarily, it’s settled then!”
“Thank you, director!”
Jiang Tingxu was naturally very happy in her heart. However, in the next moment, she accidentally caught a glimpse of Aunt Wen from the corner of her eye and her expression instantly froze.
Damn it!
She hadn’t even mentioned this in advance. Was Aunt Wen angry?
However, no matter how she looked at it, she couldn’t see any signs of anger on Aunt Wen’s face. She still maintained her serious face as usual.
Ahem, otherwise, how did the title of ‘Miejue Shitai’ come about?
At this moment, Jiang Tingxu was like a child who had made a mistake. Her gaze towards Wen Jie was filled with guilt.
Fortunately, this matter had come to an end and the weekly ranking meeting had officially begun.
Jiang Tingxu had actually been called over by the hospital director to let everyone take a look at her. Since everyone had already taken a look, there was nothing more to say.
In the boring and long meeting that followed, Jiang Tingxu could only listen. She did not have the opportunity or the right to speak at all.
“Last week, we treated a total of twelve patients with severe illnesses at the thoracic department. Currently, eight of them are already out of danger. Three of them are still under observation in the ICU, and one of them failed to be resuscitated. I’m very sorry!”
The director frowned and immediately waved his hand:
“‘Only those with virtues which are Buddha-like, and talents like that of immortals should become doctors.’
“Although we often use this sentence to encourage ourselves, reality does not allow it. Doctors are also human beings, not gods. It is enough to do your best!”
Hearing what the hospital director said, everyone was stunned.
After all, family members often have exceedingly high expectations of them, some of which were impossible to achieve.
In the face of cruel reality, the family members were sometimes not the only ones who were sad, the doctor might have been just as sad.
