【228】The rookie who is treated like a burden

Xie Wanying was also taken aback: was she really going to be mentored by a department head?

Tan Kelin didn't care about their surprise or offer any explanation, truly embodying the aloof spirit of General Surgery Department Two. His face slightly lowered, revealing a slender profile, he focused solely on the reports without looking at anyone.

Xie Wanying stood by without saying a word. An anxious student at this moment would surely be eager to ask their new teacher, "Teacher, what should I do today?"

But no, she wasn't one of those rookies fresh into clinical practice; she knew the teacher's mind wasn't on her at the moment, and she would wait until the teacher remembered her. Clinical teachers aren't there solely to educate students in medical school; teaching is their side job, their main job is to treat and save lives, and their first thought is always about the patient.
