Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 507

Chapter 507: Chapter 236: Eight Bouts of Diarrhea in One Day, Steatorrhea

Whether you’re joining a formal company or a place like a hospital, being fired will become a blemish on your career.

When you look for a new job, the HR sees you were dismissed from your previous place, and the outcome is obvious.

Meng Luo is a nurse, just like a doctor, belonging to a rather unique field.

She’s been involved in a major medical malpractice case and bears some responsibility, which will certainly affect her job search.

"Can you briefly talk about the accident?"

Li Jingsheng’s clinic has just grown a little, and hiring an unreliable nurse could spell disaster.

Even a small incident could be enough to bring Sunshine Clinic down.

He must inquire thoroughly if he’s going to hire this nurse.

"Since it involves patient privacy and the reputation of both the hospital and my former department, may I speak in general terms?"

She didn’t ask with a pleading expression or tone.

Instead, she had that firm look of someone sticking to their principles.

If Li Jingsheng doesn’t agree, she might give up on applying here.

"Sure!"

Li Jingsheng nodded.

"The causes of the accident were multi-faceted: the patient’s unique constitution, our insufficient pre-surgical examination, the patient and family not informing the doctor of the truth, and when problems arose during the surgery, the main surgeon and the anesthetist tried to save the patient’s life without reporting to the higher-ups or communicating with the family, deciding independently to continue and expand the surgery, ultimately unable to save the patient’s life. Everyone involved—the anesthetist, main surgeon, circulating nurse, and the primary assistant—was severely punished. I was the scrub nurse and received a substantial penalty as well."

Talking about the incident filled her with helplessness and fear.

It was likely the most unforgettable event of her life.

"When complications arose, there was no time to report to higher-ups or communicate with the family, or get their signature, and instead, decisively save the patient first, right?"

Li Jingsheng had at least spent a few years in a major hospital, familiar with some of the doctors’ dilemmas.

Unexpected changes during surgery leave doctors with very little time.

Maybe just one or two minutes of crucial rescue time.

Following procedures could mean that before the family signs, the patient’s life signs might already be flatlined.

He’d even heard of more extreme situations where there’s only one or two seconds to think.

In emergencies, the chief surgeon must react within an extremely short timeframe.

"Pretty much, yes!"

She nodded forcefully, biting her lower lip.

"Okay, I’ve understood your basic situation. You’ve passed on professional integrity; regarding your skills and attitude, only by trying can I know. If you’re willing, you can have a trial day at our clinic today, after which I’ll decide whether to hire you."

After understanding her situation, Li Jingsheng offered her a trial opportunity.

"I’m willing, very willing!"

Upon hearing Li Jingsheng offer her a trial, she was so happy she almost jumped.
