Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital

Upon hearing Zhao Heng's affirmative response, Mrs. Liu was very excited, and Wei Wei's mood was also agitated.

The solution provided by Zhao Heng surprised her a bit, but upon reflection, it seemed feasible. Since there was no capability to develop a cure, delaying symptoms and extending survival time would also be acceptable.

"Dr. Zhao, there are quite a few children I know with this disease. Can they all come here for treatment?"

Mrs. Liu asked excitedly.

Her excitement was understandable; ten to twenty thousand compared to ten million was significantly less, and most families could manage the cost by gritting their teeth. Even though it wasn't a cure, at least it could save lives temporarily.

This was an easy decision to weigh.

"Mrs. Liu, as you can see, I currently have only ten beds available here, so I can't accommodate so many patients. Moreover, cultivating neural stem cells is a personalized treatment that requires an individualized treatment plan for each patient."

Seeing Mrs. Liu's instant excitement, Zhao Heng had to explain.

"Dr. Zhao, with your medical skills, why does the hospital allocate so few beds to you? It's so unfair."

Mrs. Liu expressed her dissatisfaction upon hearing this.

"Mrs. Liu, I'm still relatively inexperienced, so it's quite normal."

Zhao Heng spoke with composure.

"Dr. Zhao, don't worry. I'll help coordinate this matter. A doctor like you should definitely be put to good use."

Mrs. Liu stated firmly, seemingly having made a decision in her heart.

Afterwards, Mrs. Liu chatted with Zhao Heng for a bit longer before reluctantly leaving.

After all, Zhao Heng had to work, and she couldn't take up too much of his time. Naturally, Wei Wei left together with her.

After leaving the office, Tian Zhen, feeling a bit puzzled, asked Zhao Heng, "Dr. Zhao, what were you discussing with Mrs. Liu that took so long?"

"We were just talking about matters regarding assistance."

Zhao Heng replied casually.

"It seems Mrs. Liu holds you in high regard, Dr. Zhao."

Tian Zhen remarked.

"How did you figure that out?"

Zhao Heng questioned.

"When you went for surgery, Mrs. Liu and Reporter Wei came and asked me a lot about you."

Tian Zhen explained.

"The thoughts of wealthy people can indeed be very peculiar."

Zhao Heng couldn't help but comment.

"Why do you say that?"

Tian Zhen asked curiously upon hearing Zhao Heng's comment.

"Do you know why she just spent so much time talking to me inside?"

Zhao Heng asked in return.

"How would I know? Didn't you say it was about assistance?"

Tian Zhen replied.

"It's about a new drug for treating a rare disease. Because the drug is so expensive, she thinks I can develop a cheaper version."

Zhao Heng explained.

Although this idea is noble, it seems a bit naive unless Zhao Heng truly had the ability, or else anyone would consider it a fool's dream.

"Develop a new drug? Dr. Zhao, did you agree?"

Tian Zhen asked, somewhat surprised.

"If I had the research capabilities to rival those of a large pharmaceutical group, would I still be sitting here working?"

Zhao Heng commented.

"However, I did provide a treatment method to alleviate symptoms and extend survival time."

After a pause, Zhao Heng added.

"I knew that you would definitely have a solution, Dr. Zhao."

Tian Zhen nodded in acknowledgment.

"You all have blind confidence in me. It's not like I can do everything right now."

Zhao Heng felt that being held in too high esteem or having too high expectations placed on him wasn't necessarily a good thing.

It's fine if you can achieve it, but if you can't, things could get tricky.

"Even if you can't do it now, you'll surely be able to do it in the future."

Tian Zhen still appeared very confident in Zhao Heng.

"If you say so, then let's go with that."

Zhao Heng nodded noncommittally.

"Dr. Zhao, it's lunchtime. Would you like to order takeout together?"

Tian Zhen asked.

"No, Dr. Wang will be coming to take over soon, and I have things to do in the afternoon."

Zhao Heng replied.

This Dr. Wang naturally referred to Wang Tao from the emergency department. Zhao Heng couldn't possibly stay in the ward 24/7, as he had other matters outside the hospital as well.

For now, it was just Wang Tao and Zhao Heng taking shifts.

Currently, Zhao Heng's ward had only three patients: one was an elder brother who almost had an accident with Sildenafil, and the other two were Sun Xinxin and the girl Miaomiao. All three patients' conditions were very stable now.

Wang Tao actually had the qualifications of an attending physician in the emergency department, but he hadn't been promoted further due to lack of titles. However, his expertise was solid and attitude serious, which is why Gao Jun transferred him from the emergency department to assist Zhao Heng.

"Alright."

Tian Zhen nodded.

Soon, Wang Tao arrived for his shift.

After handing over the patients' conditions to Wang Tao, Zhao Heng left the hospital.

Today was a big day for Zhao Heng. There was a school opening ceremony at two o'clock in the afternoon at Boya Medical College, which he had to attend.

Zhao Heng had previously passed Professor Huang's graduate entrance exam, and this was the opening ceremony. No matter what, Zhao Heng had to attend.

Of course, Professor Huang only had one graduate student, Zhao Heng, while the others were all Ph.D. candidates. Therefore, Zhao Heng would certainly be very notable at the event.

After leaving the hospital, Zhao Heng quickly grabbed a bite to eat and headed to Boya Medical College.

One-thirty in the afternoon.

Inside Professor Huang's office at Boya Medical College.

Zhao Heng and Professor Huang were sitting and drinking tea.

"Xiao Zhao, after graduating and working, how does it feel to step back into school? Any special feelings?"

Professor Huang asked with a kind smile.

"Feels like I'm beginning to learn again."

Zhao Heng replied.

The campus was much simpler compared to the outside world, but Zhao Heng didn't have much time to spend on campus. As for the graduate study, Professor Huang's schedule was quite flexible.

Moreover, in Professor Huang's view, Zhao Heng had mastered everything he needed. Not to mention graduate students, even Ph.D. candidates rarely reached Zhao Heng's level.

"Although you don't have to quit work to study, you will still need to fulfill certain requirements. I understand how busy you are at the hospital, but you need to plan your time allocation well."

Professor Huang advised Zhao Heng.

"Yes, I will, teacher."

Zhao Heng nodded. Now that he was a graduate student under Professor Huang, he could call him "teacher."

Since this was a legitimate graduate program, and moreover a master's and doctoral continuous learning model, it wasn't possible to completely skip out until graduation.

Certain activities, like this opening ceremony, were mandatory.
