Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 468 - 385: Night Shifts Aren’t Always Hard
At eleven thirty at night, in Liu Ziang’s office in the neurosurgery department.
The people who had just participated in the surgery were now gathered in Liu Ziang’s office for a late-night snack. To Liu Ziang, a snack was no big deal.
Looking at the table full of barbecues and seafood, along with pizza and milk tea, Zhao Heng couldn’t help but sigh. Eating these things so late, as a doctor, it’s really not at all healthy.
Speaking of which, everyone thinks doctors are guardians of health, but the job itself is the least healthy.
Not to mention the upside-down day and night schedule, even eating meals properly is hard; most times, it’s just a few rushed bites.
Zhao Heng noticed that the few male doctors were devouring the food, eating and drinking heartily, but the instrument nurse Sun Li and Ruan Liuzheng were only having small bites of salad, avoiding milk tea altogether.
As girls, they surely love to maintain their beauty, and such painstaking efforts are also to keep in shape.
"Why eat so little? Although keeping in shape is important, replenishing energy while on duty is just as important."
Zhao Heng smiled and said to Ruan Liuzheng.
"Not very hungry, so eating a little is fine."
Ruan Liuzheng shook her head slightly and said.
What’s energy compared to maintaining one’s figure?
"Dr. Ruan, at your age, you don’t need to be so careful about your figure. Besides, you’re not dating anyone, so there’s no need to keep such a good figure."
Instrument nurse Sun Li said as she took small bites of her fruit salad.
"Sister Sun, you can’t say that. Just because I’m not dating now doesn’t mean I won’t in the future."
Ruan Liuzheng retorted, unwilling to show weakness. Relationships between women can be very peculiar. Besides close ones like Ruan Liuzheng and Liu Meng, there are those like Ruan Liuzheng and Sun Li, who aren’t very familiar but still bicker upon meeting.
It can only be said that among women, especially beautiful ones, conflicts are more pronounced, especially between the young and pretty and the older ones.
Seeing someone like Sun Li in her thirties, looking at Ruan Liuzheng with her collagen-rich face, naturally wouldn’t have anything nice to say.
Hearing the exchange between these two, everyone was a bit surprised, not understanding why they suddenly seemed to be arguing.
This was indeed strange!
However, in the workplace, there’s always an undercurrent. Thinking that just doing your job well means people will like you is something only a naïve newcomer would believe.
"Dr. Ruan, I have a cousin who’s a teacher at No. 4 High School. I can introduce him to you. He’s got great qualifications, looks handsome, and most importantly, his family has already bought him a house."
Sun Li said, looking at Ruan Liuzheng with an indifferent expression.
Hearing this, Ruan Liuzheng felt uncomfortable.
Was this a veiled way of saying she couldn’t afford a house in North City?
Moreover, not only did she get the hint, but everyone else understood it clearly as well.
"For young doctors, the focus should be on their career. The most important thing is to improve professional skills. Right, senior?"
Zhao Heng, seeing the two like this, smiled slightly and said to Liu Ziang.
Although watching women fight is entertaining, the connection between the anesthesia center and the operating room is very close, so it’s best if there’s no fighting.
"Huh? Whatever you say."
Liu Ziang, leisurely sipping coffee and scrolling on his phone and nibbling on cookies, wasn’t having a late-night snack. Hearing Zhao Heng suddenly mention him, he instinctively nodded.
"Sister Sun, you see, both the teacher and Director Liu have said it. We young doctors should focus on our careers."
Ruan Liuzheng smiled and said, emphasizing the word "young."
After speaking, she glanced at Sun Li.
This open and hidden jousting left the two male resident doctors in neurosurgery dumbfounded.
Wow, these women are so formidable nowadays. How are we supposed to find girlfriends?
Soon, the late-night snack was finished, and Zhao Heng and Ruan Liuzheng left neurosurgery, heading back to the wards.
Leaving the neurosurgery department, Ruan Liuzheng suddenly said to Zhao Heng, "Teacher, should I have held back just now and not said those things to Sun Li?"
"Hold back? Why hold back? It’s not some big deal."
Hearing this, Zhao Heng smiled warmly. Although the relationship between the operating room and the anesthesia center is very close, Sun Li is just a senior nurse in the operating room. Besides, women bickering a bit is very normal.
The situation is that if Ruan Liuzheng were just an ordinary visiting doctor and not Zhao Heng’s student, she probably wouldn’t have the confidence to say such things to Sun Li.
She would definitely be more courteous to Sun Li.
Of course, this underlying influence is something even Ruan Liuzheng herself isn’t aware of.
"I thought you would say something about maintaining unity."
Ruan Liuzheng said.
Hearing Zhao Heng’s words, she felt a warmth in her heart. If it were another teacher, they certainly wouldn’t allow a visiting doctor to have such an interaction with a senior instrument nurse. You must know, in the operating room, sometimes a senior instrument nurse doesn’t even give face to a surgeon.
The hospital is such a place, where sometimes the hierarchy is clear. The more seniority one has, the more power of speech they have, and the less people dare to offend them.
