Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s-Chapter 1990: Be Professional

At the Shou’er Capital Maternal and Child Health Hospital, she might have met some people but wasn’t close enough to have their contact information, let alone be very familiar with anyone. Her circle of classmates was mostly in Beidu. The most famous neonatal department in Beidu was at Beidu Third Hospital, and other affiliated hospitals were not quite up to the mark.

"Let’s go to Guoxie, Teacher Hu." Xie Wanying decisively suggested.

Doctor Hu remained calm and asked her, "Have you interned at the Guoxie Pediatrics Department?"

"No." Xie Wanying admitted, "But I know Professor Nie from Guoxie Pediatrics."

"You know Professor Nie? How well do you know him, and how well does he know you? Do you have his phone number? Would he answer your call?" Doctor Hu seriously questioned her.

This evening’s rescue couldn’t be approached carelessly. It seemed Doctor Hu might have heard some impressions about Nie Jiamin from people in the circle: he was a pediatric authority.

Claiming to be very familiar with a prominent teacher from a specific department only to have the teacher not recognize you when you call is an occasional but regular occurrence. Some medical students are overly arrogant, believing they’re highly regarded by their teachers. Meanwhile, some teachers are too modest, leading to misunderstandings by students. Doctor Hu understood why these outcomes occurred because it often happened with Du Haiwei.

Shen Xifei looked at Xie Wanying with a disdainful glance after hearing these words.

It wasn’t just Doctor Hu from another hospital who was skeptical of Student Xie’s words; as a fellow student at Guoxie, Shen also thought Xie Wanying was bragging.

At Guoxie, she knew best that Professor Nie from the Pediatrics Department was a returned overseas expert specially hired by President Wu, hailing from abroad, speaking gently in a gentlemanly manner, making people mistakenly think he’s easy to talk to. In reality, as a boss, he’s very aloof.

Nie Jiamin never discussed medical issues with medical students and rarely communicated with resident doctors. He only communicated with attending doctors and above. Mainly because the general level of domestic doctors couldn’t understand a word from an expert of such caliber from abroad. Nie Jiamin was not fluent in Mandarin and often slipped into strings of English, leaving medical students with less proficiency in English or knowledge completely baffled.

The language barrier was one aspect. On the other hand, as a returned overseas expert arriving at the hospital, he held a higher status, acting only upon the president’s cues, while others had no say.

This Xie Wanying really thought she had big connections. Shen Xifei internally decided to wait and watch Xie make a fool of herself. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Doctor Shen, could you lend a hand?" Xie Wanying asked her.

Reluctantly, Shen Xifei used her other hand to help hold the child.

Xie Wanying took out her phone, quickly found Teacher Nie’s number, and dialed it.

Perhaps her interactions with Teacher Nie were more frequent, leading to a different impression of him than what Shen and others had.

She was confident about whether Teacher Nie could come back to the hospital to help.

Teacher Nie was a very professional teacher, demonstrated by how much he valued every child patient.

A teacher with such professional integrity would undoubtedly do anything to save a life.

Yes, a professional teacher would not ignore human life. However, explaining the situation clearly to persuade such a professional teacher to return to the hospital was not simple.

Consider how often young frontline doctors on duty in hospitals get scolded when calling for backup from second and third-line doctors. The reason being that reports are not professional enough.

Why should the teacher return to the hospital?

If the patient no longer had the value of being saved, what would be the point of the teacher returning, wasting effort?
