Chapter 84 Hospital Resident Trainees (2)
Ward 1 of the inpatient department, duty room.
The four resident trainees took some time to eat dinner, and then each of them slumped in their chairs with their own drinks for a short rest.
Bai Ye, wanting to find out more, casually brought up a topic, "Ding Yue, did Teacher Yao say when the department rotations will start?"
"Don't even think about it. The departmental rotation will probably be a year from now," Ding Yue said, taking a big gulp of bitter black coffee.
Bai Ye asked in surprise, "It's so late, is there enough time?"
"There should be enough time. After all, the Sixth Hospital is an affiliated hospital of our university, and many of our teaching arrangements are based on past experience."
Kong Yuehan had already done her research on this topic and explained to the three of them: "I know a senior student who told me that the residency training is usually three years, but exceptionally outstanding students can have it extended to two and a half years. The first year is mostly spent learning medical history taking and medical record writing. This part needs to be done very strictly and in a standardized way to be considered as having passed the assessment."
"Wouldn't that mean they're not treating us like human beings, and just exploiting us to the fullest extent?" Zhang Tao understood the underlying meaning in the words.
Bai Ye then realized the true intentions hidden beneath the so-called eloquent words.
"Don't interrupt." Ding Yue nudged the person next to him, then looked at Kong Yuehan, "Continue."
Kong Yuehan nodded and said, "In the first year, in addition to recording and organizing medical records and archiving previous years, there will also be opportunities to hold outpatient clinics in the second half of the year. For some minor illnesses, we need to make advance diagnoses and communicate with patients. If there are any questions, please refer them to the attending physician immediately."
"Starting from the second year, all basic clinical procedures will be arranged, mainly focusing on the emergency department. We will learn to deal with various emergencies, including resuscitation. At the same time, the supervising teachers will arrange surgeries for us as needed. Of course, we can't actually go to the operating table, but preoperative preparation and postoperative care are all our tasks. If the teacher is willing, we might be able to practice retraction suturing after surgery."
"Next, we went to the inpatient department to learn how to manage patients independently. Each person was responsible for about ten beds and would make rounds every day to learn and observe the patients' conditions at any time. Special cases were discussed in small meetings every two weeks."
"Only in the final year will you rotate through different departments. Also, during these three years of residency training, you will continuously participate in various academic activities, including but not limited to lectures, training sessions, and assisting your supervising professors in completing research tasks..."
Kong Yuehan did conduct research and has a fairly clear understanding of the learning process for resident trainees.
Ding Yue and Zhang Tao are also good students, but they aren't as meticulous as Kong Yuehan. Now that they know the whole story, they are very grateful.
Only Bai Ye stared blankly at Kong Yuehan across the room.
"Bai Ye, what's wrong?" Kong Yuehan noticed the gaze on the other side and asked.
Bai Ye shook his head, then stood up, picked up all the takeout boxes, and said, "I'm going to throw away the trash."
As soon as I stepped out of the duty room, I collapsed.
Kong Yuehan said that every year's work was full of pressure for him.
"The quest for this instance hasn't been released yet, and we don't know how long we'll have to stay in the hospital. What if we make mistakes every day?"
After throwing away the trash, Bai Ye was filled with worry. He couldn't help it; he always felt that as a poor student, he had the potential to "treat human life like dirt."
The only saving grace is that we are currently in the writing stage, organizing and archiving medical records. Although the workload is huge and tedious, we can still manage.
As an affiliated hospital, one advantage for our resident trainees is that accommodation is not a problem.
Within the Sixth Mental Hospital campus, there are dedicated staff buildings where doctors and nurses below the deputy director level can apply for accommodation at only one-third the cost of renting outside.
As a resident trainee, you receive more preferential treatment. The dormitory accommodation fee is waived, and you only need to pay for water and electricity.
Of course, the conditions are average. Unlike other doctors and nurses who have single rooms, the rooms are like university dormitories, with four people per room.
At midnight, Bai Ye and Ding Yue went back together.
After coming down from the inpatient department, the two had to pass through two outpatient buildings and then go around the administration building to reach the staff dormitory.
The road was quite long, and the night was even darker, so the two walked and chatted.
"By the way, Bai Ye, have you finished organizing the stack of medical records that Teacher Yan gave you this afternoon?" Ding Yue asked casually.
Bai Ye shook his head, "It's still a little short, but Kong Yuehan said she'd help me type it in after she's done, and I'll treat her to three meals tomorrow."
"It has to be a classmate. With Kong Yuehan, the academic star, helping you, you won't get scolded tomorrow."
Ding Yue was filled with envy. Kong Yuehan was a top student in their medical school, consistently ranking first in her major.
It's both lucky and heartbreaking to be doing residency training with alumni like these.
Fortunately, everyone works together very efficiently and the collaboration is always pleasant. And if I make a slight mistake, Kong Yuehan will definitely help clean up the mess.
There is no doubt about this; no one doubts Kong Yuehan's abilities.
But the heartbreaking part is that of the four trainees, only two will be able to stay. Kong Yuehan will undoubtedly take one spot, and the remaining one will be chosen from among the three of them.
"Bai Ye, are you planning to stay at the Sixth Hospital?"
Although Ding Yue didn't think highly of Bai Ye and believed that the other party posed no threat, what if he was wrong?
Who knows if the underachiever will eventually turn things around and outshine Zhang Tao?
Ding Yue asked casually, and Bai Ye thought for a moment and nodded, "Of course, if there is an opportunity, staying at the Sixth Hospital is a good choice."
“I remember you seem to be a local?” Ding Yue said again.
Bai Ye's mind went blank. Was "he" a local?
I don't know, but the other person said yes, so it must be.
So he nodded, "Yes, it's local."
Ding Yue understood immediately. Bai Ye's calm and confident tone suggested that there was a connection.
I need to keep my options open and think of other ways out.
The two were not on the same wavelength, and chatted casually until they arrived at the dormitory.
The four-person room wasn't full; only Bai Ye, Ding Yue, and Zhang Tao were staying there.
Ding Yue and Zhang Tao were closer, and the two slept on the same side of the wall in two beds. Bai Ye was on the opposite side, near the window. As for the bed near the door, the three of them used it to stack books.
As a resident trainee, I also need to study every day. I didn't dare to throw away any of the textbooks I used in my eight years of university and graduate school. I brought them all here and left them in my dormitory so I can review them anytime.
Bai Ye quickly washed up, then lay down, covered her head, and went to sleep.
He was exhausted. He worked five hours in the afternoon and then six hours on duty and at night. This doesn't even include the time he had spent working all morning before that.
Being a beast of burden is hard, being a doctor is even harder.
Bai Ye fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow, quickly falling into a deep sleep.
In my sleep, I had no good dreams, but rather a series of nightmares.
In the dream, I am rapidly entering medical records, while I am surrounded by patients, each of them complaining that their records are wrong or entered incorrectly.
Even worse, some patients wanted to rewrite their medical records and tried to seize the computer.
In order to protect the medical records, Bai Ye got into a fight with the patient, which resulted in a complaint. His supervising teacher, Lin An, demanded that he write a 10,000-word self-criticism.
"ah--"
Bai Ye was startled awake. When he opened his eyes, it was already dawn.
Turning to look at the opposite side, I saw that the bed was empty; Ding Yue was not in the dormitory.
Zhang Tao's bed was perfectly intact, with the blankets and pillows still in place; he had never been back at all.
Bai Ye took out his phone, glanced at the time, and saw it was 5:02.
So I only slept for less than five hours?
"Are all resident trainees this miserable? When did Ding Yue leave? Did he go back to the duty room in the middle of the night?"
Bai Ye didn't dare to delay, so he washed his face and quickly left the dormitory.
At this hour, the hospital cafeteria is not even open.
Bai Ye bought breakfast at the hospital entrance, which was originally only for him and Kong Yuehan.
But considering that one left in the middle of the night and the other didn't come home all night, they probably hadn't eaten either, so I bought two more portions.
When they arrived at the duty room, Ding Yue was typing on the computer, while Kong Yuehan and Zhang Tao were sleeping on the table.
Bai Ye walked quietly, placing breakfast on everyone's table.
"Thanks, I'll transfer the money to you later," Ding Yue said with a smile.
Bai Ye nodded, biting into a steamed bun, and asked, "When did you leave? I had no idea."
"Around four o'clock, I realized in the middle of the night that there was a problem with my speech, so I just got up."
Bai Ye looked down and saw Ding Yue revising his speech, which their mentor Yao Cong needed for the day. Yao Cong was scheduled to give a small presentation at nine o'clock in the morning.
After reading for a while, Bai Ye didn't see anything wrong with it; it was much better than what he had written himself.
"It's already very good, do you still want to change it?"
"The final version will be sent to Teacher Yao at 7:30. If there are any problems, it can be revised again before 9:00."
"..." You can't win against it.
Bai Ye sighed inwardly, took the steamed buns and soy milk, and returned to her seat.
At 7:50 a.m., Lin An and Yao Cong arrived at work one after the other.
Zhang Tao and Ding Yue were called away by Yao Cong, who also took their PPT and speech drafts with him. Lin An also called Kong Yuehan away, seemingly to arrange something.
Only the white night remains, unnoticed by anyone.
"Because I'm a terrible student, I was given up on from the start?" Bai Ye muttered to himself.
Just as they were guessing, a familiar voice came from outside. Before they even saw the person, they knew who it was.
Bai Ye immediately stood up and respectfully greeted, "Teacher Yan."
Yan Wang, Deputy Director of Ward 1 of the Inpatient Department.
The doctor is already quite old and has retired to the second line. He doesn't have any work assigned to him in the emergency department. He only has two half-days of outpatient service per week and spends the rest of his time in the inpatient department.
Of course, the number of surgeries performed each week is quite large, and it is said that this Deputy Director Yan is a first-rate surgeon.
"Have you finished everything I asked you to do yesterday?"
Yan Wang continued to hold his teacup, taking small sips. There wasn't much tea in it, but the tea leaves were almost full.
Its concentration, absolute lethal dose.
Bai Ye nodded, opened the folder, and let the other person look at it.
Yan Wang quickly flipped through the document, his brows furrowing with each reading. "What kind of rubbish is this? It's completely non-standard. Only the last part is somewhat legible."
Bai Ye immediately felt guilty, as the last part was organized with the help of Kong Yuehan.
"Teacher Yan, I..."
"Alright, stop making excuses. Let's get back to training. Standardizing medical record writing is the most basic requirement, and it must be done."
"yes."
"Come with me, I'll take you to the operating table."
"ah?"
"What do you mean 'oh'? This is my first surgery today. You're just watching closely. You'll have to write a summary of what you've learned later."
Bai Ye was a little confused. Wasn't this kind of thing supposed to be arranged in the second year?
Did I just get incredibly lucky?
But at the same time, Bai Ye was inwardly distressed: This was a golden opportunity that Kong Yuehan and the others couldn't miss, but the problem was, I didn't know anything about it!
More importantly, he has a psychological aversion to operating rooms.
