Chapter 159: 【159】The Unexpected Character

“Not entirely,” Doctor Lin clarified to Doctor Yang. “At the accident scene right now, Doctor Jiang must have had no choice, under circumstances where there was no other option—”

Mid-sentence, Doctor Lin suddenly realized that someone had come up behind Doctor Yang. The figure surprised him, causing him to interrupt the topic and ask Doctor Yang, “Is he on duty today too?”

Without turning around, Doctor Yang knew whom Doctor Lin was asking about and replied, “He’s covering the shift for our chief today on the third line. He hasn’t left the hospital.”

Taking the opportunity, Fu Xinheng, who was behind Doctor Yang, stepped forward, seizing on what Doctor Lin had just mentioned, “You said last night there was a trainee performing resuscitation on a cardiac patient?”

“Yes,” Doctor Lin admitted, aware that their cardiology department was stuck with blame because of Zhang Xiaohui, and he sighed.

Remembering the expressions of the group at President Wu’s house the previous night, Fu Xinheng continued to question Doctor Lin, “What’s the name?”

“Are you asking for her name?” Doctor Lin was reluctant to answer.

The emergency nurse, not having any reservations, answered for Doctor Lin, “It’s Dr. Xie, Xie Wanying.”

“Xie Wanying.” Fu Xinheng repeated the three words as if committing the name to memory in a second.

“What’s Old Jiang saying now? He just made that phone call? He wants me to wait for them in the emergency room?” Doctor Yang glanced at his watch and asked, “How long will it take for them to get back to our hospital?”

Doctor Lin and the emergency nurse recalled, “It’s been almost an hour and a half since Doctor Jiang and the others left.”

“About an hour for the trip back?” Doctor Yang intended to say, “Darn,” then added, “I’ll head back upstairs first, call me if there’s anything.”

“He told you to wait here, and you’re going back upstairs?” Doctor Lin questioned him.

That was also true. If something happened on the way—Doctor Yang thought hard with a headache: “Old Jiang is too laid back, has water in his brain. How could two students, no matter how capable, possibly handle a cardiac patient on the scene?”

“Exactly, exactly, that student Zhao Zhaowei is no good,” suddenly, thump, thump, thump, a female doctor in her thirties rushed over, forcefully inserting herself into the conversation between Doctor Lin and the others.

It turned out that this was Doctor Kim, from neurology, on emergency duty that night. As Zhao Zhaowei’s clinical trainee supervisor, she was terribly worried upon hearing about such a significant incident.

If a student encountered any problems, the clinical supervisor bore direct responsibility.

“I just had him observe in neurology, never allowed him to operate, feeling he wasn’t up to it,” Doctor Kim confessed truthfully. Based on her and her colleagues’ two-day observation, Zhao Zhaowei wasn’t at a level where he could carry out practical operations; he couldn’t even relate many textbook concepts to clinical practice.

A group of people looked doubtfully at Doctor Lin.

Having just provided guidance to Zhao Zhaowei, Doctor Lin knew Doctor Kim’s words were accurate, “Zhao Zhaowei is not up to it, but Xie Wanying is different.”

The emergency nurse raised both hands in agreement with Doctor Lin, “Exactly, exactly, Dr. Xie is different!”

Since Doctor Lin and the emergency nurse had said so, Doctor Yang, Doctor Kim, and Fu Xinheng could only—wait. In fact, that was all they could do now. Because Xie Wanying and the others were already on their way, rushing over here.

“It’d be best if there were no issues on the road,” Doctor Yang said.

Doctor Kim nodded, “Right, let’s hope, as we all wish, that they have a safe journey!”

Fu Xinheng stood by the emergency room phone.

Doctor Lin gave Doctor Yang a look, asking: What is this third-liner doing in the hospital?
