章 34: Start of Internship
編集者: Henyee Translations
"I'm reporting to the hospital tomorrow morning for my internship." Su Chen smiled and said, "I won't be able to hold your hand anymore."
Shang Xitong asked gently, "Are you sure you're not afraid that I'll leave in anger?"
"No, I'm not afraid!" said Su Chen as he chuckled.
In the city that was baked under the hot sun, there was a cool breeze. They walked on the streets while holding hands and looking at the pedestrians.
"Do you want me to tell you a secret?" said Su Chen with a smile.
"What's wrong?" Shang Xitong looked at him.
"I've been ostracized by most of my classmates since elementary school." He was playing with the school belle's hand.
"Because of what?" Shang Xitong was taken aback.
"Because I had an argument with a student in my class. This student was the son of the director." He smiled and said, "He said, 'Whoever plays with me in the future will become his enemy.'"
"What happened next?" Shang Xitong was a little curious about what happened when he was a child, so she ignored his actions.
"No one talked to me all semester, let alone play with me."
The two of them saw the bus stop by the side of the road and Su Chen brought Shang Xitong to the stone bench. "There were even many friends who were very good friends with me who gradually distanced themselves from me."
"This is too pitiful." Shang Xitong's heart started to ache.
"But it's not a big deal. I don't value such people. It's just a waste of my time to be friends with them."
Su Chen curled his lips and looked at the clear sky. "If people are too weak, life will be boring!"
Outside the People's Hospital.
Su Chen nodded and encouraged himself as he stared at the hospital in front of him.
An upperclassman who had become a doctor said, if you start working at the hospital, you should spend more time with your own department's doctors and learn how to administer medicine to patients. At first, you will doubt yourself because you see a lot of patients talking about diseases that are different from what you learn from books.
It was not because the book was wrong, nor was it because of the patient. It was because the information in the book was insufficient to support the treatment.
In the process of patient treatment, one should carefully summarize medical experience, which was the most precious clinical experience of doctors.
When ordinary students worked in the hospital, they basically did not receive any internship pay. It was already good enough if they could maintain their living standards, but they might not be able to continue.
It was not until the end of the internship and the approval of the leaders of the relevant hospitals that one's career as a doctor would begin.
And only after one returned to school and completed one's final year of study could one qualify for a physician's exam.
Next, if one was lucky enough or had connections, one could find a hospital willing to hire you.
One would need to start another round of internship. One would no longer be an intern, but a real medical intern.
The career path that one would have to face next would also be a bumpy and long road to advancement.
It was only the first step for interns to become medical interns. It was also the first step. They would also be hired as chief surgeons, resident doctors, chief surgeons, associate chief physicians, chief physicians…
It was a long and difficult path. Treating patients was part of daily work, but there were also shifts and medical documentation.
Some wards might not accept patients during their break time, and they did not need to be on duty for consultation. However, when they returned from their break, it would definitely be the time to see a large number of patients.
The number of patients one received would make one wonder if one could last until these people left. It was even hard to find time to go to the bathroom.
A large bladder was essential to being a good and qualified doctor ...
These were what the seniors taught them when they first entered the school.
Now, those people were about to reach thirty years old, but they had just become doctors.
Becoming the chief surgeon was out of the question. There were many chances to go to the operating theater, but it was very difficult to get close to the operating table.
One could imagine how difficult it was to become a doctor in a hospital. Of course, this was only applicable to local hospitals.
There were also many private clinics in China. These private hospitals focused on skills, and their salaries were higher than those of hospitals.
However, the main point was that you had skills, and you were very qualified. This way, how much money you earned every year depended on your ability…
When Su Chen saw the department director, he was a little shocked.
The department director was a chubby middle-aged man. His name was Gao Qinghua. He was easygoing and welcomed Su Chen with a smile.
There were fifty students from City H's Medical University who had come to intern, but only one person reported to the Surgery Department. This was a little strange.
When Gao Qinghua saw this, he said, "Young people are full of vigor."
Su Chen did not understand, but he could tell that his tone was not good.
But he had not graduated from university yet. Wasn't it normal to be young?
"You came here for an internship in your fourth year? You have some connections?" Gao Qinghua looked at Su Chen and smiled. "Why did you come to our department?"
As of now, only fifty students from City H's Medical University had been assigned internships.
Among these fifty students, there were definitely those who had practical experience, those with outstanding results, or those who had influential family backgrounds.
"An upperclassman told me that the surgical department is the best choice to have direct contact with surgeries and gain experience." Su Chen smiled.
"What's your upperclassman's name?" Gao Qinghua expressed his shock.
Su Chen opened his mouth and replied, "Hao Jian"
Gao Qinghua looked at Su Chen with an even more quizzical expression. "What conflict do you two have?"
"Why do you ask?" Su Chen could not understand what he meant.
Gao Qinghua looked at Su Chen with a smile and shook his head. "Hehe, it's nothing." However, he looked at Su Chen as if he was looking at a fool.
"Alright, let's not talk about anything else. Let me tell you about the situation in our department first. Firstly, we don't have many people in our department. Even if you're just an intern employee, you might have to work hard on your own because there are too many patients. If there are too few staff, it means that once we are busy, no one will care about you. How much you learn will depend on you. Our department takes a day off every month, and our daily work is more than twelve hours. Although we don't have holidays, we still receive the benefits we deserve, and our holiday salary is also three times higher. Of course, you're an intern… You know that!"
my *ss! Su Chen's face paled when he heard Gao Qinghua's words. What did he mean by saying that there were few people in the department?
With so many patients, he would have to work on the frontlines. What did this mean?
What did he mean by only resting for a day every month and working for more than twelve hours?
The most important thing was that nobody would care about him when they were busy?
Was he a demon?! Was he a vampire that sucked human blood?
