Chapter 145: Chapter 144 Dai Zhengguo: I've invited a genius physician!
Gu Yu had planned to take a nice nap that afternoon, then head out in the evening to discuss renting an apartment outside of school with the campus authorities.
Now that everyone had money, there really was no need to squeeze into dorm rooms.
Besides, as Ideal Paradise kept doing better and he had to work out of town more often, it definitely became less convenient to still live in a dormitory.
After washing his face and comfortably lying in bed, Gu Yu opened NetEase Cloud Music, ready to play some instrumental music to help him sleep.
But before he even got halfway through Canon in D, he received a voice call on Fetion.
He sat up with a start, unlocked his phone, and found that it was a call from Dai Zhengguo.
Leaning against the pillow, he casually answered:
"Hello? Mr. Dai."
Having not heard Gu Yu's voice in a while, Dai Zhengguo seemed a bit surprised and said with a smile, "Hey, Yu? Are you free tomorrow? I need a favor from you."
"I have a pyothorax case study tomorrow and I'm short an assistant!"
Gu Yu thought about it; tomorrow was Wednesday, and he didn't have any plans.
So he quickly agreed to Dai Zhengguo's invitation.
Since he had stood Mr. Dai up once before, it was only right, both emotionally and logically, to help him out with this small favor now.
Pyothorax, a common thoracic disease.
As a Chief Physician, unless it was a pyothorax with complicated etiology, teaching Mr. Dai's postgraduate students shouldn't be a problem.
Still, he asked tentatively:
"Mr. Dai... are you really asking me to instruct your postgrads?"
He couldn't help but think of Qin Wanwan and Huo Xiaoyi, the female postgraduates who had wanted to dissect him for research purposes.
Both of them should be Mr. Dai's postgrads.
He wouldn't really have to teach those two, would he?
He still felt a bit traumatized to this day! He just couldn't understand Qin Wanwan's thought processes.
Dai Zhengguo: "Would I be teasing you if it wasn't true? With your level as a Chief Physician, teaching a few postgraduates should be a breeze. Don't be so modest with me."
Gu Yu: "Ah... okay, I was just asking."
"This pyothorax case study you mentioned, it's not going to use me as a guinea pig, right? I have to make sure!"
Teaching was teaching, but he didn't want to end up as a cadaver instructor!
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.
Then Dai Zhengguo's irritated voice came through: "You're a Chief Physician now, you shouldn't be ignorant of the rules of medical teaching, right? How could we conduct such a case study on a healthy person!"
Gu Yu: "Uh... just asking!"
Gu Yu could almost picture Mr. Dai rolling his eyes at him.
And that's exactly what was happening.
Dai Zhengguo was sitting in his office sipping tea when Gu Yu's comment made him spit the tea all over his desk.
As he frantically wiped his desk with a tissue, he rolled his eyes at Gu Yu's Fetion profile on the screen.
How did this kid come to believe he'd be used as a teaching case?
His thought processes were truly bizarre!
What he didn't know was that Gu Yu now considered female medical students to be in the category of people absolutely not to mess with.
"So, you agreed, right? Tomorrow morning at half-past nine, be on time at Lab C307 in the Medical College experimental building to find me!"
Gu Yu: "Yeah! Sure! I definitely won't be late!"
With Gu Yu's agreement, Dai Zhengguo was finally satisfied and hung up the voice call.
Meanwhile, outside the office, a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a skull necklace around his neck, and a hip-hop robe walked in.
If Gu Yu were there, he would certainly recognize that this was Wu Huan, the guy who stole his elder brother's girlfriend!
"Mr. Dai, I've delivered everything you asked me to take to the teaching building."
Wu Huan approached Dai Zhengguo and reported that he had completed the task previously assigned to him.
"Hmm! Good!"
"And, Wu Huan, as a professional in the medical field, you should pay more attention to your dress. Walking around all flashy like that can make people question your professionalism!"
Dai Zhengguo frowned as he looked at Wu Huan in his flamboyant hip-hop outfit, feeling quite uncomfortable.
Although Wu Huan had not formally started practicing medicine yet, he had been learning under Mr. Dai, and when he was out and about, he represented Mr. Dai Zhengguo's reputation.
Dressed in such a manner, it was easy for outsiders to pick on this and question the quality of Mr. Dai Zhengguo's teaching!
Although there is no significant relationship between medical skills and one's attire, most people still tend to judge a book by its cover.
That's why, even when he's not at the hospital, he's dressed in a white lab coat.
The image of medical personnel is really important!
Think about it, who would you feel more reassured by when receiving medical care? A doctor in a white coat with a stethoscope around their neck, or a doctor wearing exaggerated earrings and a skull necklace with a hip-hop look?
Not to mention clothing, most patients automatically assume doctors with less hair are more skilled!
They would also be less guarded against the doctor's treatment plan.
"Hmm… Mr. Dai, I got it, I just came back from the hip-hop club, I'll change my clothes as soon as I return."
Wu Huan responded perfunctorily.
Although he was prideful and conceited, he behaved humbly in front of Dai Zhengguo.
Professor Dai is a nationally renowned top surgeon!
Being able to learn from Dai Zhengguo is a dream coveted by countless surgical medical students!
If one could become a student of Dai Zhengguo, it was as if they had one foot already in the door of Modu's top-tier hospitals!
Wu Huan particularly cherished the opportunity to learn from Dai Zhengguo.
This was also the reason for his arrogance!
Because Dai Zhengguo was his mentor!
"Good, as long as you're aware," Mr. Dai nodded, Wu Huan might have been headstrong, but he listened to him well.
He was also quite serious when it came to learning medical skills, something Mr. Dai always paid attention to.
As long as their character wasn't bad, he was willing to continue teaching them.
"Mr. Dai, then may I go?"
Wu Huan shuffled his feet slightly, appearing somewhat impatient.
"What's the rush?"
Mr. Dai gave him a glance. Being impatient didn't suit studying medicine.
"Hehe, Mr. Dai, I've recently got myself a girlfriend, I'm in a hurry to spend time with her!"
Wu Huan chuckled, his face revealing a hint of slyness.
"Fine, off you go! But don't be late for the clinical teaching tomorrow morning, I've invited a genius physician to come and give you personal guidance!"
Mr. Dai waved his hand dismissively.
He wasn't willing to meddle in his student's private affairs, as long as they took their studies seriously.
Wu Huan paused for a moment, "A genius physician?"
He suddenly remembered the last teaching session.
At that time, Mr. Dai also mentioned that he had invited this genius physician, but the latter had something come up at the last minute and did not show up.
The genius physician Mr. Dai referred to was a Chief Physician under twenty-two years old, skilled in level three (sub-director level) thoracic surgeries.
How could this be possible!!?
That was Wu Huan's first reaction; such an achievement seemed utterly unattainable!
A chief physician at twenty-one?
That would mean practicing medicine at fourteen or fifteen, right? Clearly, that's impossible.
So he always regarded this so-called genius physician as a fictional character made up by Mr. Dai on the spur of the moment.
Inventing such a genius just to motivate them to study harder!
And yet today, Mr. Dai brought up this genius physician again.
Wu Huan still thought it was made up, so he didn't take it to heart and casually answered, "Oh! Haha, then I'll definitely have to meet this genius physician tomorrow!"
Mr. Dai smiled confidently, "I believe he will certainly give you a harsh reality check."
Every time Mr. Dai thought of Gu Yu, he could only marvel that there truly was no limit to the talents of some people in this world!
