Chapter 42

Everyone who wants to become a doctor has to go through the process from intern to resident and then to specialist, and this process is composed of countless days and nights of internship.

Interns are the bottom staff in the hospital. In the first year, they are transferred to various departments and stay in each department for a while. Only in the second year will they have the opportunity to become residents and carry out specialized internships.

Usually, interns are teams of several people, led by an attending doctor and a senior resident in charge, who start work at 7 a.m. every day.

The attending doctor of Shiyuan's group is a neurosurgery doctor named Mo Shaokang. Dr. Mo is a Chinese American. He settled in the United States with his parents when he was a child. He is over 30 years old, but he is already a well-known neurosurgeon.

After entering the hospital every day, change into work clothes. The first thing is to look at all the diagnosis and laboratory results of the patient in charge, as well as the patient's reaction to the treatment adopted, and then conduct a round with the team members. During the ward round, discuss with the patient about future diagnostic tests and treatment recommendations. Sometimes, we have to talk to the patient's personal doctor to get some information. After that, you may need to know more about some patients, carry out the doctor's orders and so on.

Usually, the morning passes without realizing the passage of time.

And the hospital's noon break is also very short, interns have to discuss some medical conditions together, lunch time is also in such a hurry.

In the afternoon, new patients from triage come. Interns need to receive new patients, write medical records, do physical examination for patients, and write hospital admission forms. In the evening there will be a shift, and then you can go home. However, you can't really rest after you go home. You must read some relevant materials.

In the whole internship years, there will be a night shift every 2-4 nights. On duty, almost can not rest, not only to monitor their own group of patients, but also other groups, and even new patients. Although it's hard to work at night shift and some people think it's unnecessary for some people, many people think that the more experience they have in treating patients, the better their medical skills will be. Therefore, it has become a tradition to work night shift because more patients can be contacted.

At the end of her first year's internship, she passed the third step of USMLE examination, successfully transferred to a resident doctor, and chose neurosurgery as her future major.

Somehow, Shiyuan thinks that Dr. Mo, who tutors herself, is particularly concerned about herself. Not only will she be given more opportunities to take charge of the cases, but also she will be allowed to learn from her side when she is performing the operation. Later, she will be guided to do some simple operations. For this, she was very grateful to him, thinking that he did so because everyone was Chinese.

Shiyuan adores Mo Shaokang's medical skills, not only his diagnosis of the disease, but also his exquisite surgical skills. Every time she finished the operation with him, she would close her eyes after returning home, carefully recall every detail, let the whole operation process be shown in her mind, and at the same time, she imagined his hands as her own and demonstrated the operation in the air. If she has any questions, she will check the information on the Internet and ask him for advice. And Mo Shaokang is also very appreciative of her, always very patient to explain to her.

After about two or three months, Mo Shaokang occasionally invited her to have dinner and coffee during the break time, but she did not refuse. And the content of their chat, also from the beginning of professional issues, slowly turned to the individual. The common cultural background and professional pursuit make them have many common languages.

"I've always been curious, why did you choose neurosurgery from medical school? There are few female doctors in this department! " Once he asked her.

She looked at him and was silent for a moment before she said, "when I was seven, my parents had a traffic accident. Mom, she, she couldn't be saved on the spot. However, my father still had vital signs. After he was sent to the hospital, the doctor said that there was congestion in his corpus callosum. The medical level at that time could not guarantee that the patient could survive after craniotomy

Her voice was quiet, so was the expression on her face. She did not cry.

"My aunt and I would have been in the hospital for five hours. All I remember was Dad's forehead covered with ice, and he was sleeping in the hospital bed like that Her voice was slightly nasal, but still very quiet.

"I can't remember anything else, but from then on, I wanted to be a doctor. I think that if I can make great efforts to be a good doctor and have excellent medical skills, patients like my father will live, and no one will lose their relatives like me. " With that, she lowered her head and put her hands on both sides of the coffee cup.

Mo Shaokang did not speak any more, just quietly looking at her sitting opposite.

At this time, there was a song in the coffee shop. It was Mariah Carey's cover song "against stalloids.".

Her hand slowly clenched the cup, but her eyes were always in the cup.

“···causewe'vesharedthelaughterandthepain,a ndevensharedthetears.You 'retheonlyonewhoreallyknewmeatall····”When Mariah sang here, Shiyuan suddenly felt that her eyes were a little fuzzy, and she quickly turned away from her face and wiped away the tears that did not flow out. At this time, Wang Zixuan's figure appears in her brain.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned your sadness. I'm sorry!" Mo Shaokang apologized quickly.

She squeezed out a smile and said, "it's OK, it's just that the music is so sad. Dr. Mo, I'm sorry. I told you these things. I'm sorry! "

But he gave a gentle smile and said, "we do everything with an original intention, especially when it comes to major decisions about our lives. Just, you will give yourself a lot of pressure. Your career is just beginning. Don't force yourself too much. "

She nodded, and he went on to say, "you are very gifted, as long as you try your best, you can be perfect!"

"Thank you, I know it!" She also politely smiles back.
