Chapter 150 Nominal Doctor
Xu Jin entered the dean's office. The dean adjusted his glasses and asked her, "Dr. Xu, General He recommended a doctor. Are you aware of this?"
Xu Jin looked surprised. "Grandpa He recommended a doctor? I didn't know that."
The He family came to our door to say that their patriarch wanted to stay at the hospital. The hospital director was overjoyed, after all, General He's status meant that his words could almost determine whether the hospital would become the site of a military hospital.
The hospital director was somewhat disappointed. "You really don't know? The doctor recommended by General He is a young woman who is only in her early twenties, just like the one you recommended before who studied traditional Chinese medicine. Right now, our huge hospital can't find a single doctor who can treat General He. Now, we've been outdone by a young woman. If word gets out... it won't sound good."
Now you realize it doesn't sound good?
Xu Jin is a genius among her peers, but she is still quite young and prefers to look at seniority. The hospital doctors, and even the hospital director, think that either the older the better, or those who have returned from studying abroad are more capable.
Her previous recommendation of Jiang Ning failed because the hospital director and department head learned that she was young and studied traditional Chinese medicine, which made her completely incompatible with their hospital. The director rejected her without even looking at the letter of introduction.
Xu Jin asked, "So, Dean, why did you call me here?"
"Dr. Xu," the hospital director said with a smile, "I know you have some neighborly ties with General He. Do you know the doctor recommended by General He? What is her background?"
Xu Jin thought for a moment, then grinned and said, "Oh, I don't know either."
The dean's face fell. "How come you know nothing about this?"
He sighed; it was a completely pointless question.
Xu Jin said, "Dean, since Grandpa He recommended this doctor, why don't you just keep him here?"
The dean said, "Of course we should keep them. I need to think about how to keep them."
Xu Jin frowned. "Why don't you just hire them as a doctor at the hospital?"
The hospital director tapped on the table. "Is our hospital a vegetable market? Can just anyone be recommended and become a doctor? All doctors in our hospital must pass an assessment before they can join."
Xu Jin asked impatiently, "Why doesn't Chen Man need to take an assessment?"
The dean snorted, "They are highly skilled personnel brought back by the country, and they have such a powerful special drug as a stepping stone. Do they still need to be assessed?"
Xu Jin suddenly felt like she had been blind to have ended up in this hospital.
She asked, "The doctor was personally recommended by Grandpa He's family. Isn't the hospital director considering letting her become a doctor at the hospital?"
The hospital director said, "General He has only specified that the doctor they recommend must be in charge of the treatment. I will issue a certificate for that doctor to be a nominal doctor so that she can stay in the hospital temporarily. If she can really cure General He's illness, it will prove that she is indeed a promising talent. At that time, I can also make an exception and let her stay to work in the hospital."
As soon as he finished speaking, he thought it was feasible. All General He needed was a doctor who could treat him openly and honestly in the hospital. He could just issue a certificate.
It's already quite an achievement to become a nominal doctor at their hospital without passing the hospital's assessment.
As soon as he finished speaking, the dean immediately took out paper and pen to write a personal statement.
The hospital can't just accept anyone. If anyone recommends someone, it's fine if the recommendation is a capable person, but what if it's a useless one and ruins the reputation of the entire hospital?
Now is a crucial time for their hospital to be selected as the site for the Capital Military Region Hospital, and the hospital cannot afford to make any mistakes.
However, General He's words should not be ignored.
Xu Jin's face was now expressionless as she said calmly, "Dean, if you want both, be careful you don't choke to death."
After saying that, Xu Jin turned and left.
Her tone was so calm, but she was about to explode.
What exception? These words make it sound like Jiang Ning should be grateful if they can keep her here. If it weren't for the fact that she could treat Shen Mo, Jiang Ning would never have considered becoming a doctor at the hospital.
The dean sensed something was off about Xu Jin's words, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
What does "wanting both" mean? His thoughts and intentions are all for the future of the hospital!
Xu Jin left in a huff.
The next day was the second round of treatment for Grandpa He. As soon as Grandpa He appeared, even the hospital director came out to greet him.
Upon learning that General He was coming to stay at the hospital, the hospital director had prepared the best ward early in the morning. The director greeted General He upstairs, but then realized that the old man did not follow him upstairs at all. General He gestured to his son to carry him up to the third floor.
The moment the dean saw Old Master He, he kept glancing behind him, but he didn't see anyone except He Tingdong.
Didn't they say that Mr. He had a doctor he recommended? Where is he?
Seeing them heading towards the third floor, the hospital director quickly said, "General, your ward is on the fifth floor."
“I’m not going to the fifth floor,” said Grandpa He.
As they spoke, they arrived at the door of a hospital room.
The hospital director knew who was in this ward; it was a soldier who had recently been injured in a mission.
Although the dean was puzzled, he still opened the door himself.
Upon entering the ward, Shen Mo was peeling an apple for Jiang Ning with a knife.
"Comrade Shen, you shouldn't keep your shoulder raised for too long." The dean was shocked when he saw this and quickly went over to take the apple from Shen Mo's hand.
But Shen Mo dodged it.
He frowned and glanced at the dean. This was something he had prepared for his wife, and it was also a task she had given him.
Even if the injury on his shoulder hasn't healed yet, he still has to finish the tasks his wife gives him.
Moreover, his wife said that this would help him improve his endurance.
Because he had been resting for too long due to his shoulder injury, he couldn't stay in the hospital any longer, but the hospital wouldn't let him leave. The military region also sent a message, hoping that his shoulder injury could be treated until there were no sequelae.
If the final physical examination results are not up to standard, then retirement will be forced.
Shen Mo had peeled the apple into a long strip, but the peel broke because the dean reached out to snatch it, which made Shen Mo a little angry.
Finally, he turned to look at Jiang Ning, his dark eyes seeming to flicker with grievance.
His eyes seemed to say, "Wife, look, it's not that I don't want to complete the task."
Jiang Ning's task was to ensure the peel didn't break, but it did.
Jiang Ning found it somewhat amusing. The persona he had presented as a cold and aloof Yama during their first meeting had completely veered off course in her eyes.
She reached out and took the apple that Shen Mo had peeled, took a bite with her rosy lips, and considered the task done.
Shen Mo's mood improved when he saw that Jiang Ning was satisfied.
The dean knew that Shen Mo's identity was special, which is why he gave him such special treatment. Normally, he would never pay attention to what a patient was doing.
The other person didn't seem to want to pay him any attention, so the dean awkwardly withdrew his hand.
Shen Mo then noticed Grandpa He and He Tingdong standing to the side. He greeted them, "Grandpa He, Uncle He."
