After the holiday, the doctors needed to review the conditions of every patient they were responsible for and arrange their treatment plans.
At the same time, a large number of medical students flooded in, ready to be divided into groups for clinical rotations.
In front of the doctors’ office, there was a group of bewildered medical students.
When they spotted Xie Wanying, who seemed to be familiar to them, they waved for her to come over and join them.
Xie Wanying took a step but heard someone calling her.
“Wanying, come over here.”
It was Senior Brother Huang who called her. She quickly turned back to find her Senior Brother.
As she walked up to Huang Zhilei, he reminded her, “Don’t wander around. Stick close to me, okay?”
Junior sisters like her were easily taken advantage of. Huang Zhilei was now being especially vigilant.
Xie Wanying nodded.
Checking his watch, Huang Zhilei said, “Let’s first move the medical records to Cao Senior Brother’s office, and then we’ll go to the department’s office for the handover.”
The patients’ medical records were placed on the medical record cart at the nurse’s station.
During each handover and ward round, the various teams of doctors needed the medical records, so they would go there to collect the patients’ records.
When Xie Wanying and her senior brother went over, they saw that many records had been taken from the cart.
“Senior Brother Cao is in charge of the third team of patients. There are a total of eleven beds,”
Huang Zhilei said as he gathered the medical records, taking some himself and letting his junior colleague hold the rest.
These medical records were quite heavy because they were protected by metal clipboards.
Arriving at Senior Brother Cao’s office, they found it crowded with about seventeen or eighteen people.
Most of them were medical students who were going to be interns, along with Senior Brothers Cao and Huang.
There was only one attending physician, Senior Brother Huang.
At that moment, Xie Wanying realised something.
People had often told her that neurosurgery was the easiest to stay in because it was in high demand.
Was that true?
Looking at Senior Brother Cao, who usually had a cheerful smile, his expression now seemed quite solemn.
He was flipping through the medical records brought by Huang Zhilei while putting on his white coat. He said to the others, “Let’s go, it’s time for the meeting.”
Everyone obeyed and moved to the department’s office.
The department’s office was even more chaotic, with its narrow space and the doorway already crowded with medical students.
Huang Zhilei, in charge of clearing a path, shouted, “Make way, don’t crowd the entrance.”
The medical students stood aside to clear a path, while the doctors from the department, including the deputy director and department head, stood in the middle around the office desk.
Others either stood behind the hospital doctors or were pushed to the outside, listening to the handover as if they had antennas on their heads.
Looking around at the densely packed crowd, Xie Wanying glanced at the small whiteboard hanging in the department’s office.
This time, there were finally some notes on it. The previous time she visited, it was blank, likely due to the collective holiday break.
From the information on the whiteboard to the visible nameplates of the doctors, Xie Wanying counted.
It seemed that the situation in the neurosurgery department was roughly as follows: there were a total of five teams of doctors, each responsible for around ten beds.
There were four associate professors, including her Senior Brother Cao, the director she had met before, Associate Director Liu, and a professor named Zhuang.
There was one full professor, Director Chen. Retired doctors were not counted. Each associate professor and the full professor supervised one group of medical students, perfectly matching the situation.
There were seven attending physicians, including her Senior Brother Huang.
However, there were at least fifteen or sixteen resident physicians.
This showed that the neurosurgery department had been actively recruiting personnel.
The reason became clear to Xie Wanying when she recalled the tidbit her senior sisters had mentioned before: once the new surgical building was completed, the neurosurgery department would establish a new division.
In other words, the neurosurgery department would be divided into two sections, hence the need to train enough doctors in advance.
