Chapter 274 Internship Begins

The two of them lived peacefully like this, while Yunxia and Baiye were very sweet. When Grandpa Bai learned that his eldest grandson had snagged a beautiful and well-behaved young girlfriend, he was overjoyed. He spent a month just choosing a gift for their first meeting, finally settling on a bracelet that was popular with young girls but also had a dignified feel.

Yunxia accepted generously and often brought Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai along with Jiang An to keep him company.

More than two years have passed in the blink of an eye. After their senior year, the medical students will face a year-long internship.

In the large conference room of Anhe Hospital, more than 100 fifth-year students were waiting for their assignments. The hospital director spoke briefly for ten minutes before leaving in a hurry. Each department head held a list, read out a name, and a student came out. This student would then intern in their department for a year.

Li Xinxin was originally assigned to Anhe Hospital, but she didn't want to come because she was afraid of running into the people who had participated in the surgery. So she took the initiative to apply to go to a different hospital.

Anhe Hospital is the best comprehensive hospital in Jiangcheng. She left, giving up a spot. It is said that many students from well-off families gave gifts and used connections to try and get that spot.

Li Hongxia, who is gentle and conscientious, was assigned to the rehabilitation department, which is somewhat related to her major. Yunxia was lucky to be assigned to the traditional Chinese medicine department. She thought that her knowledge would be useful, but she didn't expect that after arriving at the department, she would spend her days either cutting plasters or on her way to get plasters.

The director seemed to have sensed her thoughts, and during the lunch break, he talked to her a lot. For example, he said that traditional Chinese medicine is the most complex and values ​​seniority the most. He also said that all medicines have some degree of toxicity, not to mention that a single medicine packet contains more than a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs. Western medicine is simpler, focusing on only one type of medicine at a time, and it does not dare to prescribe strong medicines to patients, which leads to some patients with more serious conditions having to prolong their treatment cycle.

Traditional Chinese medicine, on the other hand, allows for timely adjustments to medication based on patient feedback and data obtained from physical examinations!

Yunxia had wanted to talk to the director for a long time, so she came prepared. She took out a stack of report cards from her bag and respectfully handed them to the director. "Director He, I'd like to go into the outpatient clinic. I'll stand next to you, without making a sound, and I won't disturb you or the patients. Please feel free to give me any odd jobs. I know it's a bit presumptuous and naive for an intern who's only been here for less than a month to make such a request, but..."

"These are my transcripts from my four years of university. I came to Anhe Hospital to increase my practical knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, not to improve my speed in cutting plasters and preparing medicines a year from now. Director, in a year, I will be entering the workforce and facing real patients. If I don't have the relevant experience, that would be irresponsible to my patients."

Director He has been a doctor for many years and has supervised countless interns. There are also countless students who have voluntarily applied to join the outpatient department, but the only one whose reasons are both reassuring and make perfect sense is hers.

After glancing at the transcript, I noticed that the student was excellent in every subject, had good lab grades, and received scholarships every year, with one still being applied for this year. After some thought, I frowned and said, "If you come to the outpatient clinic, other interns will also be clamoring to come. It will be chaos. I will create an evaluation plan. The top three will be able to intern at the outpatient clinic for three months. After three months, whether you can stay at the outpatient clinic will depend on your own abilities."

Having a chance is always better than having no chance at all!

"Okay, Director, I feel much more at ease with your words. So, how long will this consideration period last?"

"It's quite clever. It will last for two months. As for the assessment content, I need to go back and discuss it with the doctors on duty."

Yunxia was very satisfied with the reply. She smiled obediently and lowered her head to devour the chicken leg.

After lunch, while taking a nap back in the dorm, I was mocked again by this sarcastic person. This person is just like Yangmei, unable to bear seeing others do well. But there is one good thing about him: apart from venting his anger, he doesn't actually do anything to harm others.

"Hey, so someone went to the director to pull some strings and came back. Everyone be prepared, maybe in a few days, he'll be heading straight to the outpatient clinic, all that nauseating smell of plaster gone."

"Wang Hong, don't be sarcastic. Ask yourself honestly, don't you want to work in the outpatient department? The director has given an answer: everyone has a chance, but there will be an assessment, and it will be a fair competition."

Upon hearing this, the dormitory erupted in excitement. Unable to contain their excitement any longer, they surrounded the girl, frantically asking about the assessment content. Wang Hong, however, was furious. In her opinion, only Yun Xia could rival her, and why were the others getting involved? It was as if anyone could go to the outpatient clinic.

"Sorry, I only know there will be an assessment, but I know nothing about what it will entail. Please don't tell anyone!"

Since the matter concerned their own interests, everyone kept their mouths shut. For the next three days, the interns in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine were all on high alert, working meticulously and treating family members or patients who came to pick up medicine with exceptionally good manners!

Unfortunately, less than a week later, some people couldn't hold on any longer. After another half month, there was still no sign of the assessment. The bolder interns went to see Director He in a group, only to be told that there was no assessment at all. Yunxia instantly became the target of everyone's criticism.

"Yunxia, ​​I considered you a friend, and you dared to lie to me. The director said there was no such thing as an assessment. I think you just tried to get into the clinic through connections and came up with a trick to fool us."

Yunxia: ...

Don't you understand hidden assessment methods?

Furthermore, being meticulous in one's work, having a serious attitude, and checking the medicine package five times are all hospital regulations and professional ethics, aren't they?

How come, in their mouths, the motivation for doing these things has become completing the assessment?

Just as she was about to retort, Wang Hong spoke first, "What? Did Yunxia hold a knife to your throats and force you to do... your professional duties? Heh, with your patience, I don't even bother to comment. So what? If there's an assessment, you do your job seriously; if there's no assessment, you just do it perfunctorily. Is it shameful to handle medicine and cut plasters? After all, we're all top students, and we're interning at Anhe Hospital. Is it embarrassing to do these menial tasks? Yunxia had the guts to ask the director to transfer her to the outpatient department because whether it's cutting plasters, dispensing medicine, or comforting patients, she's second in the department. Of course, I'm first."

"You guys... deserve to be scolded. If you dare to do this again, I'll go to the director and tell him everything about your behavior. I'll write it all down in your internship reports. It'll affect your future prospects, hehe. Now, let them go right now!"

Wang Hong was known for her outspokenness and was the troublemaker in the dormitory. When she spoke, no one dared to disobey her. As a result, Yun Xia, who was surrounded by the crowd, was able to be rescued.

"My advice to everyone is to do your job well first, and then consider entering the clinic!"

After everyone left, the girl drank a glass of water, took a breath, and turned to thank Wang Hong.
