Chapter 1224: 【1224】Snatching someone in person
This person accused her of scheming before—why not say that he himself was the one scheming?
Xin Yanjun gave a cold snort: "If you’ve got such remarks, go say them to the hospital leadership. Why are you telling me?"
"Should we ask her directly? I’m heading out later to pick up a car accident patient who likely has traumatic hemothorax. You can ask her whether she wants to come with me to check the situation and learn how to handle cases like this," Li Chengyuan said, drawing the corner of his mouth into a suggestive smirk as he glanced toward the corner where Xie Wanying was standing.
Whatever others might think of him didn’t matter; he could sense that she had an interest in thoracic surgery.
A medical student with a passion for thoracic surgery—extremely talented. As someone experienced in thoracic surgery, why not try to recruit her? If someone already hinted at liking your specialty, wouldn’t it make sense for you as a teacher to actively show interest in return? Or do you just want to let someone else swoop in?
Take Song Xueling, the Beidu Talented Scholar, for example. If no one wooed him, would he have really abandoned Beidu and come to compete within the ranks of Guoxie? Was that President Wu’s arrangement? Who knows? But before this, when Cao Yong was abroad for his advanced studies, he had guided Song Xueling through a tough phase in his doctoral dissertation via email. Nobody outside the circle knows about this.
Cao Yong truly had skills—showing just a hint was enough to mesmerize the Beidu Talented Scholar. That’s why the moment you figure out a student’s specialty interests, you, as a specialist senior physician, have to step up. High-end talent is needed everywhere in clinical practice, no?
Upon hearing his words, Xin Yanjun immediately understood his intention—to use the rare opportunity of an emergency case to lure the student. She took a sharp breath, her face slightly pale, and warned him, "She’s currently studying internal medicine with me, which is critical to her entire medical education journey. Don’t disrupt her proper study plan. Doing this won’t benefit her."
"If she wants to learn internal medicine, she can learn from me. Emergency internal medicine is my forte; I’ve done rotations."
"You, a surgeon, dare to claim expertise in internal medicine?" Xin Yanjun retorted combatively.
"I wouldn’t dare say I’m an expert in internal medicine, but if this medical student spends such a short time learning internal medicine with you, what she learns will inevitably be superficial. Instead, why not let her dive into surgery from the start and study thoroughly under me? After all, she’s going to specialize in surgery anyway," Li Chengyuan said lazily, though his words sounded well-reasoned.
Xin Yanjun planted both hands firmly on the desk, wishing she could yell at him to get out.
From outside, the sounds of the ambulance preparing to leave and the accompanying nurse getting ready could be heard. Taking the hint, Li Chengyuan eased up, waving at Xie Wanying before leaving: "You can come find me in the surgical clinic. If there’s any case you’re curious about, I’ll show you if I’ve got it."
Unable to bear it any longer, Xin Yanjun muttered, "Get lost already." Then, turning, she looked at the student.
Xie Wanying stepped forward to express her stance to Teacher Xin: "I’m here to study internal medicine."
She wouldn’t drift between specialties or teachers recklessly—this much Teacher Xin could absolutely rest assured about.
Meeting the resolute gaze in her eyes, Xin Yanjun nodded in satisfaction and patted her shoulder to show encouragement: Keeping your composure is a good trait. Don’t let one or two expressions of interest from other teachers unsettle you and make you impulsively switch allegiances.
The arrangement by the medical school and hospital for students to study different specialties in phases is designed to help them systematically connect textbook knowledge to clinical practice. The human brain requires repetition and consolidation during learning to truly form understanding. If you mess around—studying one specialty today, another tomorrow, or letting your internal medicine training stray toward surgery—it’s easy to imagine what kind of muddled results you’ll end up with.
