Orthopedic department #2 didn't have different teams for joints and spines. The medical teams simply took turns receiving patients. They would then perform the necessary surgery for the patient, without the ability to choose from them. The director and vice director would personally take care of the difficult surgeries. Meanwhile, the attending physicians took turns for the regular surgeries.
Zhang Fan and Wang Yanan still didn't have any patients of their own. It wasn't their turn to receive patients yet, so they simply read some medical textbooks while waiting in the department. The other rotation doctors were busy with changing patients' medicine, filling out paperwork, and so on. However, nobody gave any orders to Zhang Fan and Wang Yanan, which made the other rotation doctors really envious.
Near the end of today's day shift, the hospital administration department phoned Zhang Fan. ”Doctor Zhang, please come over to the administration department.” Zhang Fan didn't ask what it was about. He simply went there after telling Wang Yanan where he was going.
”Doctor Zhang, please have a seat.” The director of the administration department warmly welcomed him. When Zhang Fan arrived, he saw that Li Hui as well as several other young doctors who had just joined the hospital last year were also here.
”Thank you, Director.” Zhang Fan sat down next to Li Hui.
”Okay, everyone's here now. You're all excellent doctors who are the youngest members on staff. Today, your medical licenses have arrived at the hospital. I'm here to congratulate each and every one of you. From today onwards, you'll be real doctors with actual medical license and the ability to write prescriptions. This is a power that the government has given you, as well as a responsibility and duty. I won't say much else. Everyone, please value this power of yours as you continue working in the medical field, and seriously carry out your responsibility and duty. Also, please remember to be cautious, cautious, and once again cautious when performing your work.”
The director of the administrative department had a serious expression. The young doctors also treated this seriously. After the director was finished speaking, a member of the administrative department brought over a copy of their medical licenses to sign. Each young doctor signed their license in turn, leaving a copy of their signature behind. In their future work, this would become the original copy of their medical license that other institutions would inspect to make sure everything was valid.
Li Hui registered himself for internal medicine. Zhang Fan unhesitatingly registered himself for surgery. The young doctors who'd just obtained their medical licenses were all delighted as they left the administrative department. They had spent five years on undergraduate studies and two years on medical internship. These seven years of hard work had all been for the sake of obtaining this medical license.
Although they were just beginning their careers as doctors, they were already in the medical field. ”Hey, if this was the ancient times, we would be considered fellow disciples. Let's all eat dinner together. Although we usually see each other around, we don't know each other very well. Let's count tonight as a graduation party and get to know each other better so that we can all take care of each other,” Wang Hong, a female doctor in gynecology, suggested. She was a Communist Party member, as well as the Secretary of the Communist Youth League Committee of Chasu City Hospital. She seemed like the type skilled in politics.
Everyone else agreed. Zhang Fan didn't say anything, because Li Hui agreed for him. ”The two of us arrived one year later than everyone else, but we all count as graduating in the same year. We've long since wanted to join an organization, but never had an opportunity. Secretary Wang, your recommendation is wonderful! You're so considerate of us!” Although Wang Hong's looks were only average, she had the aura of a professional career woman. Li Hui was the type who would instantly start showing off to any able woman.
Zhang Fan could only exclaim over how he finally had his medical license. Although the exam results had been posted long ago, he still felt something about finally obtaining his license. He probably never would have come here to the border province if he'd already had a medical license back then right after graduation. That might have also resulted in him not obtaining his Medical System. Zhang Fan had now lived away from home for two years, and truly entered the working society. This helped him to swiftly mature. He probably gained more than he lost.
Wang Yanan was really envious as she looked over Zhang Fan's medical license. ”You've finally obtained your license! Hey, let me take a picture. I'm going to show it off on WeChat moments to brag to my classmates.” Wang Yanan insisted on taking a picture of Zhang Fan together with his medical license.
Later that day after the work shift was over, Li Hui obtained some perfume from who knew where, and sprayed it all over himself. The smell was so strong that it even reached the second floor from the first!
”Is this some sort of herbal lotion perfume? Even herbal lotions aren't so pungent,” Zhang Fan commented on Li Hui's smell.
”What do you know? This is cologne, a type of perfume for men! Cologne! You've never heard of it?”
”Sure, whatever you say.” Zhang Fan held his nose as he stepped away from Li Hui. Zhang Fan didn't know anything about perfume or cologne. He felt that Li Hui either have been scammed, or used way too much perfume—the smell was way too strong.
Wang Hong had reserved seats at a good restaurant named Fat Little Sheep. This was a very popular and well-known restaurant that specialized in instant-boiled and Mongolian mutton. The newly licensed doctors all met up together at the hospital entrance and went to the restaurant together.
