Chapter 152: Medicine Only Focuses on Scientific Evidence

“I’m sorry, teacher,” said Zhao Zhaowei, whose face became as red as a tomato.

“If you can’t do it, then there’s no need to force yourself. This is a hospital, the place where you can’t do everything on your own. There is nothing wrong with generously admitting if you can’t do something.”

“Yes, Teacher.” Zhao Zhaowei lowered his head.

“Have you seen the electrocardiogram? What do you think?” Dr. Lin asked.

Zhao Zhaowei felt unprecedented pressure.

Wow, the clinical teacher here is different!

After criticizing them, the clinical instructor asked them the next question directly. Unlike in the classroom, the teacher would be considerate of their mental state and give them time to collect themselves down.

The clinical medicine field was like that. Nobody was perfect and he might get criticized in actual situations, yet he must continue to save lives.

Clinicians never had time to comfort an intern, especially in emergency scenarios where patients were waiting to be saved and there was no time to relax.

This was medicine in reality, requiring doctors to keep the most alert mind at all times.

“Yes – ” Zhao Zhaowei tried hard to adjust his emotions. “It seems that his heart rhythm is irregular.”

”It seems like?”

“You said ‘It seems’, but evidence is also needed. Medicine is all about scientific evidence.”

Zhao Zhaowei felt a little like crying in his heart. He had just been on clinical clerkship for two days, and this was his third day.

At that same moment, he felt what it was like for their class monitor to be dragged into the operating room on his first day and then to be showered with blood in his face.

It was possible to assume that, as a result of the academic predominance of the only female student in their class, a number of teachers, including Dr. Lin, who was currently standing in front of them, had judged the their level to be comparable to that of Xie Wanying.

He didn’t understand how to present evidence to the teacher and how to answer to meet Dr. Lin’s requirements. Speaking of which, he was really idle in the neurosurgery department for the past two days. After all, they all knew that he was just an intern, so they let him observe everything first.

It seemed that Dr. Lin had experienced Xie Wanying’s fluent answers, and thought that he should be able to answer them because he had been taught in his class.

“Teacher, I don’t know. ” Zhao Zhaowei dared not show off this time.

“If you dont know, you should not have said the patient seem to have an irregular heartbeat, right?” Dr. Lin didn’t know whether to cry or laugh at his answer, because now was the time for teacher and student to discuss, and a student could express their thoughts.

Yet this student said he didn’t know.

Zhao Zhaowei, who had only been in clinical practice for a few days, didn’t understand those teachings. He was not like Xie Wanying who was reborn.

“Tell me, you said that the patient seems to have irregular heartbeat and that means you noticed something before saying it, right?”

In essence, Dr. Lin was a good teacher and senior, and patiently continued to guide the students to answer. Even though the student in front of him seemed to have some level issues and was much worse than Xie Wanying, he was in the same class as Xie Wanying, which surprised him.

After the teacher made a few points, Zhao Zhaowei remembered and said, “The ECG curve is irregular. There is a problem with the waveform interval.”

“Do you know what a complete ECG pattern looks like?” Dr. Lin continued to ask.

Zhao Zhaowei was once again nervous and confused, subconsciously turning his head to look at Xie Wanying.

Xie Wanying winked at him.

Seeing the two of them flirting, Dr. Lin was speechless, and this time, he asked to Xie Wanying, “Do you also like to help others cheat?”

“No, she didn’t.” Zhao Zhaowei hastily denied. How could he drag the students in his class into the muddled water, he said, “I remember, there are p waves, pr intervals, qrs waves, st segments, t waves, qt intervals, u waves.”
