Chapter 2568: Whose Eyes Have a Problem

Doctor Yao, not convinced: “The nurse said it’s not a patient from your group. Medical students doing anything without a teacher present is entirely wrong.”

This remark from a senior poured cold water over the hearts of the medical students present: does it mean that as long as the teacher is not present, they, as medical students, could only watch someone die without helping?

In medicine, timing is often crucial for saving lives. Not just waiting for the teacher to arrive, even the seconds and minutes it takes for the teacher to pick up the phone could mean missing the optimal time to save a patient’s life.

In such situations, you’re asking medical students to stand by and watch?

Don’t forget, medical students are studying medicine to save people. Indiscriminately determining that medical students must never intervene is a direct blow to their original intent of becoming doctors to save lives. This would leave medical students at a loss for words.

Such teaching methods are likely to be questioned by society.

A true teacher wouldn’t sentence a student to such intractable blame like Doctor Yao; they would consider the circumstances.

For instance, at Guoxie’s General Surgery Department Two, when a group of teachers educated Student Xie, they didn’t dare to convict her of wrongdoing lightly.

In fact, whether a medical student should intervene to save someone, especially at critical moments when a patient’s life is at stake, importantly depends on the medical student’s ability to gauge and control the risks involved in providing aid.

Just like when helping a stranger, the person offering help should be confident; if not, they shouldn’t proceed. But if they are confident and the patient’s condition is so critical that waiting for the teacher would lead to death, then no matter what, they must intervene, otherwise their conscience would haunt them for life.

On the other hand, maybe Doctor Yao said that out of concern for students making mistakes and spoke without thinking, due to his lack of understanding of the students present. However, before jumping to conclusions, he should at least understand the situation of the patient on-site. Therefore, Dr. Han wouldn’t be foolish enough to rush to report this person.

Dr. Han was so irritated that he wiped his brows: “Complain about what? Complain before understanding the situation? Am I stupid? At least I’m not as foolish as you are.”

How did he end up being stuck with such a person on duty at the PICU? This person must be new because he seems not to have seen him before.

After making his complaint, Doctor Yao stubbornly awaited the teachers to criticize the students, convinced of his correctness.

A group of medical students bottled up their grievances, glancing at the teachers.

Cao Zhao kept his hands in his white coat pockets, saying nothing, not in a hurry.

In fact, the person truly qualified to complain was not Doctor Yao but the patient’s attending physician.

While others spoke, Mu Yongxian, as the attending physician, first went to check his patient’s condition at the bedside. After hearing Doctor Yao report, his eyes immediately noticed the gloves on Xie Wanying’s hands, and he was clearly puzzled: “You said she performed chest compressions to the heart?”

“Yes,” Doctor Yao insisted emphatically.

“Her gloves are clean, without blood,” Mu Yongxian triple-checked that his eyesight wasn’t failing him.

Whose eyes have a problem?

“What happened to her gloves—?” Doctor Yao turned his head back abruptly, just about to continue affirming this and that.

Suddenly, everyone looked at her face, and their eyes fully suggested: Is the person on duty not thinking straight?

With clean gloves without blood, how could you claim she performed internal chest compressions on someone?

The moment Doctor Yao realized it, he almost bit his own tongue, quickly shifting the blame: “It wasn’t my claim; the nurse said it.”

Nurse Liu, hearing the blame being shifted her way, hurriedly passed it on: “I heard it from her classmate.”
