Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s

Xuanwu, as a top-tier hospital, is just as busy at night with emergency cases. The internal medicine doctor was not present, so the triage nurse casually called a surgeon over to check on the patient.

Stroke cases can be treated by both the surgical and medical departments.

A young man wearing a white coat and glasses approached. His name tag read Xiao Yang, he was a surgeon at Xuanwu.

As Xie Wanying was unsure if he remembered her, Xiao Yang immediately recognized her and said, "Dr. Xie, right?"

Xin Yanjun looked back at the student, and the class monitor Yue Wentong looked at his classmates: Do you know him?

Xie Wanying nodded: We met at an academic exchange seminar in Hepatobiliary Surgery.

"Who is she?" The nurse at Xuanwu asked Xiao Yang, "Is she his girlfriend?"

What girlfriend? The people present felt confused.

"Isn't he the nephew of our director?" The nurse whispered in Xiao Yang's ear, subtly pointing in the direction of Yue Wentong.

Yue Wentong's face turned more solemn, clearly displeased about his identity being mentioned.

The director's nephew might sound prestigious, but most of the time it's used sarcastically. It was always grating to his ears, much like it was to Zhao Zhaowei, who hated people bringing it up, insinuating he had connections to get ahead.

He indeed had an uncle who was the director here, his uncle was called Li Suiming, older than his mother by over ten years, now in his fifties. Li Suiming had his own children and grandchildren, his son was also a doctor. Yet people liked to fixate on him, ignoring whether his uncle's children went through backdoors, only talking about him. It might be because none of his cousins pursued clinical surgery.

In the medical circle, surgeons are more renowned than physicians and other types of doctors, with a higher status. Before moving into management, Li Suiming worked in surgery for many years and had intended to raise his son as a surgeon, but it didn't work out.

Becoming a surgeon is not easy; at least, hands-on skills shouldn't fall short of expectations. The elder cousin's practical skills were lacking, and so, inexplicably, outsiders considered him, a surgical student at Guoxie, as his uncle's successor.

The problem is that top-tier hospitals domestically are public. Hospitals are not family businesses; there's no inheritance of the director's position. No matter how capable he is, he couldn't inherit his uncle's director role. Hence, those who mentioned it clearly just loved to gossip.

After hearing the nurse, Xiao Yang adjusted his glasses, looking at Yue Wentong with a glance full of meaning: Oh, so he is the director's nephew.

Being a relative of a famous doctor doesn't necessarily yield better circumstances than being the daughter of a truck driver. Xie Wanying understood the distress of her class monitor and Student Zhao. She was doubted for having poor genes, while her monitor and Student Zhao were considered as genetic mutations supposedly capable of cutting corners.

No matter the background, medical students must rely on their own efforts to change others' perceptions.

"What's the matter with the patient?" Xiao Yang asked those who had come.

The patient's family arrived in a taxi and handed previous medical records to the doctor, introducing themselves, "My dad has been hospitalized at your hospital several times, we're familiar with your neurology doctors and nurses."

"Alright, I'll have someone call their department to check if there's a bed available for you. If not, we'll see if we can temporarily add a bed for you."
