Yun Heng spoke on the side while Xu Bo typed and reprinted the prescription, then stamped and signed it.
"Go back and take the medicine according to the prescription. Come back for a follow-up visit after you finish it."
Yun Heng handed the prescription to the patient.
"Thank you, Dr. Yun."
The woman took the prescription and thanked her.
"Yun Heng, I was careless just now."
After the patient left, Xu Bo smiled dryly and said to Yun Heng, "Actually, if I had been more careful just now, I could have diagnosed this disease. You know, when I was in school, sometimes it was easier to make mistakes on difficult questions than on simple ones."
"But seeing a doctor is not like doing an exam."
This time, Yun Heng rarely gave Xu Bo a good look.
Yun Heng and Xu Bo have been roommates for eight years and have a very good relationship. Even though Yun Heng is serious and doesn't talk much, he can still talk and laugh with Xu Bo, and they often joke around.
Xu Bo said that he didn't want to be a doctor, and Yun Heng didn't force him too much. He cherished his relationship with Xu Bo.
Although friends need to remind each other, there are some things that people would be disgusted by even if their parents say them, let alone friends. Yun Heng can remind Xu Bo to make fewer mistakes in some matters, but when it comes to matters of principle, Yun Heng knows his limits.
Xu Bo was unwilling to learn, and Yun Heng didn't force him. If he talked too much, Xu Bo would get disgusted, and they might not be able to remain friends anymore.
But this time, Yun Heng was unusually serious.
"Xu Bo, you are really not suitable to be a doctor."
"It's not Yun Heng, is it that serious? I'll just be more careful next time."
Xu Bo said hurriedly.
He knew he was wrong just now, but he also felt that Yun Heng was making a big deal out of nothing.
It's inevitable for doctors to make mistakes. Just be more careful next time.
If Yun Heng was really the department director, Xu Bo would have accepted the scolding, but he and Yun Heng were friends, so when Yun Heng said that, Xu Bo felt that Yun Heng was making a big deal out of nothing.
"No."
Yun Heng shook his head. "Xu Bo, you're very talented. I admit that. You've only been with me for a few months, discussing case histories with Ren Xuedong at night. Today was your first time practicing. Your performance today was actually quite good, quite outstanding. But you're really not suited to being a doctor because you lack reverence for life."
Xu Bo was originally planning to refute, but after hearing Yun Heng's last sentence, Xu Bo shut up instantly.
"Reverence for life?"
Yun Heng's words were like a thunderclap, ringing in Xu Bo's mind.
"Treatment and saving lives is not like taking an exam. If you are careless on an exam, you will only lose a few points, or even fail the college entrance examination. But when treating a patient, any carelessness may worsen the patient's condition or even cause death. People take exams many times in their lives, and even if they fail the college entrance examination, they can still take it again, but they only live once."
Xu Bo opened his mouth. He couldn't refute Yun Heng's statement.
Yun Heng understood Xu Bo and knew his personality.
Xu Bo is talented, but he takes a playful attitude towards many things.
Because Xu Bo's family is rich, he doesn't have too many worries and he can have fun.
For Yun Heng, Ren Xuedong and even Tian Zengming, studying is the only way out, so Yun Heng and Ren Xuedong are both very hardworking. Being a doctor is not just a profession or a hobby for Yun Heng and Ren Xuedong, but also a way to support their family, so Yun Heng and Ren Xuedong are both very dedicated, and Tian Zengming is also racking his brains to find ways to curry favor with Yun Heng.
But whether it is studying or becoming a doctor, for Xu Bo it is just fun.
It would be great if he could get into university, but if he fails, can Xu Bo’s father still not recognize Xu Bo as his son?
If he can be a doctor, then be one. If he can’t, Xu Bo can go back and inherit the family property. He doesn’t care about this job.
Even just now, Xu Bo just found it interesting because he treated two patients.
In other words, Xu Bo's mentality is wrong.
Xu Bo compares curing illnesses and saving lives with answering questions in exams, which shows that he actually doesn't care that much.
In Yun Heng's opinion, such a person is not suitable to be a doctor.
Life is not a joke, how can we treat it with a playful attitude?
Yun Heng continued, "Take the patient just now for example. His tongue was pale with a white coating, and his pulse was deep, thready, and weak. These are not characteristics of lung yin deficiency. I told you last night that when making a diagnosis, you must combine the four examinations and verify each other. If you analyze it in detail, you absolutely cannot make a mistake. However, you made a mistake that you shouldn't have made. Simply based on the patient's dry cough after the fever, you judged the patient to be yin deficiency. Yes, most patients suffer from yin deficiency, but there are exceptions, and you didn't consider this exception."
"It's true that doctors make mistakes, but some mistakes are unavoidable, while others are completely avoidable. Doctors must minimize mistakes and absolutely avoid mistakes that shouldn't be made. Because the patients we treat are human beings, just like us, any carelessness on our part could lead to adverse consequences for the patients..."
"Yun Heng, I know I was wrong."
Xu Bo is not the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for him. Yun Heng has analyzed a lot about his mentality, but Xu Bo himself does not take it for granted.
Those involved in the matter are often confused, while bystanders can see things more clearly. It is often difficult for us to discover our own character flaws.
Xu Bo just subconsciously realized that he had made a mistake. It was not a big deal, after all, it was his first time seeing patients. Although Tian Zengming laughed at him, with an error rate of 30%, was 30% a high rate for a newcomer seeing patients for the first time?
Even if we can treat one out of three patients correctly, it is worth being happy about.
