Chapter 14 The Opportunity to Use Diagnostic Medicine Has Come

This is an examination room temporarily converted from the auditorium that can seat ten thousand at the school.

Tuya Medical College is actually a provincial medical institution that integrates both medical education and service. It includes Tuya Hospital and Tuya Medical University.

What's more interesting is that the hospital and the campus are connected.

For instance, this auditorium for ten thousand people is also frequently used by the hospital for their staff meetings.

At the moment, it is packed with interns from our institute and medical personnel from all walks of life.

Tuya is recruiting for standardized training program candidates. Anyone with at least an undergraduate degree and under 35 years of age can apply.

This includes standardized trainees in nursing, general practice, and medical technology.

The training period is 36 months.

The medical technology mentioned here does not refer to surgical techniques, but rather diagnostic departments such as the laboratory, radiology, ultrasound room, electrocardiogram room, electroencephalogram room, gastroscopy room, etc.

So why is it so coveted to get a spot in Tuya's standardized training program?

Because as long as you complete the 36 months of standardized training here and meet the standard during the final exam, you can obtain a certificate of standardized training from Tuya Hospital.

This is a certificate with significant value.

Even if you don't manage to secure a job at the hospital after the standardized training has ended, returning to your original hospital, or going to city-level or county-level hospitals, you would be highly sought after.

Some of the attending and resident physicians from second-class A and B, third-class A hospitals in county towns and prefecture-level cities often treat standardized training at Tu Ya as a kind of advanced study.

Inside the examination room, it is very quiet, with all candidates silently answering questions.

The recruitment for standardized trainees is divided into three parts: written exam, interview, and physical examination.

Right now, it is just the written exam phase.

More than half of the over seven thousand candidates will be eliminated in this written exam phase.

Among the candidates, there are both doctors in their twenties who are interns and medical personnel in their thirties from society.

Of course, there are also some whizzes like graduate and doctoral students.

If we are talking about academic qualifications, Zhou Can's undergraduate degree doesn't seem impressive.

But in terms of medical skills, heh, he might be powerful enough to crush the crowd.

"Please all candidates pause for a moment, I have an important announcement to make."

Deputy Director Hu, holding a microphone, shouted loudly.

The candidates looked up one after another towards her on the stage, and also at Zhou Can standing beside her.

Some classmates or colleagues of Zhou Can's had already recognized him.

"What happened to Brother Can?"

Several roommates were worried for him.

Class monitor Yang Chan was silently praying, "Children of wealthy families are unreliable; I just hope he hasn't caused any trouble, giving our alma mater a bad name."

Her impression of Zhou Can had never been very positive.

"Let me introduce to everyone, the young man standing beside me is named Zhou Can, also one of the candidates. This morning, as he was rushing to the examination room, he encountered a patient suffering from chest tightness and angina. After a brief questioning, when he diagnosed that the patient likely had acute coronary syndrome, and with no family members accompanying at that time"

Deputy Director Hu's voice echoed throughout the auditorium.

Her voice was expressive.

"At that time, Doctor Zhou Can faced two choices. Either abandon the patient and rush to the examination room for the standardized training test or send the patient to the Emergency Department to save their life and then be late for the exam. Even if he left the patient behind, he wouldn't have to bear any responsibility. But being late for the exam, according to the rules, would mean losing the qualification to take the test directly."

Everyone fell into brief contemplation.

Put in such a situation, what would they choose? Honestly asking themselves, most would probably prioritize their own interests first.

Especially in a decision affecting their future so substantially.

Very few people can be selfless.

Contrarily, selfishness and self-interest are human nature.

"But do you know what? Doctor Zhou Can, rather than losing his exam qualification, decisively chose to take the patient to the Emergency Department for treatment. Thanks to his professional referral, the on-duty doctor diagnosed the illness in time, winning precious time to save the patient."

The candidates were deeply moved and filled with admiration for Zhou Can.

A gentleman carries great virtue.

Those who are virtuous gain respect genuinely from the hearts of others.

"Zhou Can is just an ordinary intern at our Tuya Hospital, but he has exemplified through his actions what is meant by great love and medical ethics come first. After learning of his heroic deed just now, I was extremely shocked. After consulting with the hospital leaders, everyone unanimously believes that such conduct deserves high praise. I declare that all penalties for Zhou Can's tardiness in the exam will be waived, and he will receive full marks for medical ethics."

As soon as she finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted throughout the hall.

Full marks in medical ethics was by far the highest honor ever awarded by Tuya Hospital in the recruitment of standardized trainees.

It would become a milestone in Zhou Can's professional career.

A smile that he had never shown before appeared on his face.

"Thank you to the hospital leaders for their praise and recognition. I am not a hero, just the most ordinary medical worker. Saving lives and healing the wounded are my duty as a doctor. Thank you, everyone."

Zhou Can's words about saving lives touched every candidate present.

Indeed, treating patients is the initial intent and rightful pursuit of every medical worker.

For them, it was more like a purification of the soul.

Their spirit becomes pure and is elevated.

The hall burst into thunderous applause once more, lasting a long time.

"Zhou Can, go to your seat to take the exam. You will be allowed extra time to submit your paper."

Deputy Director Hu said to him smilingly.

"Thank you!"

Zhou Can felt as though he was treading on a path of radiant light, realizing that life could be so splendid.

A good person lives a peaceful life; the world had not let him down after all.

His seat was in the back.
