Chapter 1402: Taboo
“What? Miss Nangong is the miraculous doctor who cured General Nangong’s myocardial infarction using acupuncture?”
“So you’re the miraculous acupuncture physician! Hahahaha… In the future, you can observe me during surgeries and I’ll watch you do acupuncture, okay?”
Originally, the dean had asked them to meet the child entrusted to them by the old marshal. As the old marshal’s future granddaughter-in-law, all the specialists and professors were naturally willing to teach their medical skills. However, they did not expect that this young girl would be the miraculous doctor whose news of her impressive practices had already spread throughout the whole medical university. Everyone exploded animatedly.
“Miss Nangong, please come to the cardiovascular department I’m in charge of during your internship.”
“Nuannuan, you’re about the same age as my granddaughter, so I’ll call you Nuannuan, okay? Come and intern at the hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery department. I can let you be my first assistant!”
“Nuannuan, come to the nephrology department. I heard that your second uncle’s kidneys aren’t doing well, and you’re the one taking care of him. Didn’t you say that you want to operate on your second uncle personally in the future?”
If not for the fact that this VIP ward was a super large suite with several rooms—and they were in a large living room—Feng Shengxuan would definitely be cursing.
He had been in so much pain from head to toe throughout his surgery that he could hardly breathe, but the group of old fogies was still making a ruckus in his room.
“Okay, okay, don’t be so loud. Nuannuan’s Big Bro has just had surgery for his stomach cancer, so he needs to rest.” Xu Ming reminded everyone when he noticed that everyone was in high spirits.
Nuannuan was also amused by this group of old experts.
“I’ll gladly accept the kindness that all of the uncles and grandfathers offered me. I came to the military hospital for an internship not just to choose one subject throughout my internship. To be honest, I want to learn about surgeries in all departments, so please forgive me when I disturb you in the future.”
Grandpa Chi also quickly spoke up for Nuannuan, saying, “My granddaughter-in-law has a very strong memory, so she can learn everything easily. Therefore, I believe that my granddaughter-in-law will definitely do a good job supporting everyone.”
Everyone was a little confused. This was not because they looked down on Nangong Nuannuan, but because they felt that this little girl thought very little of medicine.
They were all specialists, and the same specialists were scholars who had reached the pinnacle of their field. Therefore, for these specialists, being willing to focus on a single field of study was the ultimate path.
This kind of unorthodox method might allow one to learn a little of everything, but although they seemed to know everything, their knowledge would not be enough. This was a big taboo in the medical world.
“Even if it’s easy, there are many things that we need to learn in every subject. As the saying goes, learning is a lifelong goal. Even though we’re nearly more than half a century old, we wouldn’t dare to say that we’ve managed to master all of the knowledge in the field that we specialize in.” One of the specialists still expressed his opinions, knowing that he risked displeasing the old marshal.
However, Grandpa Chi was not angry at all. He smiled and said, “Indeed, there’s no end to learning. My Nuannuan also intends to be as devoted to the field as all of you here. I’m not flattering Nuannuan here. She learns faster than the average person. Even if she intends to specialize in a particular field, she wouldn’t take too long. Perhaps everyone will think that this old man is praising his own family, but as for the specifics, you’ll find out once you interact with our little girl.”
“That’s right. That’s right. My Nuannuan’s memory is beyond that of ordinary people.”
