Chapter 2583: Such a Pleasant Surprise

It’s not very likely, because this type of surgery has historical records in China, and surely there’s been a line of mentors passing it down the generations.

"Right side incision surgery." Pan Shihua flipped open his notebook to check historical material, "In our country, the first modern one should have been done at Guo Zhi Hospital."

"Did he go to Guo Zhi to further his studies?" Wei Shangquan wondered, perhaps this Immortal Brother is also a "traitor" who studied at Guo Zhi before betraying his mentor to work at Shou’er.

Perhaps their guesses were too absurd. Walking in front of them, Duan Sanbao, like an ostrich, couldn’t help but turn back to clarify for his Boss cousin, saying, "He’s a student of Guodu, graduated from Guodu, interned and worked at Guodu, hasn’t been anywhere else."

"How many teaching and affiliated hospitals does Guodu have?" Wei Shangquan asked.

For some reason, Duan Sanbao didn’t continue answering them, but instead ran ahead like Tang Seng riding a white horse.

"This guy definitely has some secret he’s hiding." Wei Shangquan raised his hand and pointed at the ostrich Tang Seng’s back running away.

A group of classmates chatted as they walked back to the doctor’s office, following the teacher’s rounds requirements to give medical orders and write patient records. On their first day back at the department, their group wasn’t scheduled for any surgeries.

It’s not that there were no patients needing surgery; quite the contrary, surgeries were all scheduled in advance. Like in a major hospital, there were countless surgeries in each department, and the operating rooms could only be allocated fairly by department, inevitably leading to a shortage for the cardiothoracic department, whose surgeries take relatively longer. Unless it’s a very urgent emergency surgery, routine surgeries within the department have to be done one group at a time.

Even without surgery, doctors are just as busy. Meetings, research, outpatient visits, consultations—one task after another, performance evaluation indicators one after another, hospitals are the least nurturing of lazy persons.

In the afternoon, they need to return to school for a meeting, and taking the opportunity, Cao Zhao darted his eyes around before saying to a few students: "In the afternoon, I’ll take you to visit the lab."

So delightful.

Speaking of, Guodu Medical University is not too far from Shou’er, about a fifteen-minute bus ride, with a direct bus reaching there. Duan Sanbao would be responsible for leading them in the afternoon.

Such a nationally renowned medical university, Xie Wanying and her peers had been curious about it for a long time. Now with the chance to take a peek, they suddenly remembered another major event: Guodu’s sports meet.

"Oh no, I completely forgot about this affair." Wei Shangquan lamented to his classmates, "Have any of you been practicing running at the track yet?"

"Weren’t you not signing up for the race?" Pan Shihua recalled he didn’t.

"I’m doing high jump, isn’t it?"

"The high jump is mine." Dai Nanhui chimed in, not giving others the chance to snatch his event.

It seems Wei Shangquan truly couldn’t remember what he’s supposed to do.

"You are doing long jump." Xie Wanying, with her good memory, kindly reminded.

"Right, I’m doing long jump, but I’ve forgotten how to jump." At this juncture, Wei Shangquan flashed his pearly whites in laughter, simply finding joy amidst hardship.

"We’re here." Led by Duan Sanbao, they arrived at the entrance of Guodu Medical University.

The large sign saying "Guodu Medical University" is beautiful and imposing, while some newly built teaching buildings inside are just as attractive. As for student dormitories, they’re undergoing upgrades and replacements, with some conditions still being a bit rough.

Passing by the school’s standard sports field, the newly laid green grass and track look pretty nice. Quite a few students were practicing on the field, seemingly preparing for the school sports meet.
