Chapter 984 A Doctor’s Responsibility
"Bai Xiao, this time you’ve made it onto the list for the rural medical team. I allowed your senior brother not to protest. If I really wanted to keep you, your teacher, I could have begged on my old face to keep you here.
But I feel this is an opportunity for you to grow. After thousands of hardships, you’ll remain strong, no matter which way the wind blows. You came from the grassroots, so you understand that the practical abilities you’ll gain, and the patients you’ll encounter at Ruiyin Hospital are vastly different from those in the countryside hospitals.
There may not necessarily be many critically ill patients or those needing brain or heart surgery, but there will certainly be a wide variety of patients needing care. Although they are ordinary, they are patients just the same.
I hope you understand, as a doctor, a benevolent heart is essential. To be an excellent doctor, you must have the spirit of self-sacrifice and always keep patients in your heart and be dedicated to their optimal recovery.
If professional ethics are the standards for being human, then strong skills and abundant clinical experience are the essentials a doctor must have!
An excellent doctor must have a high level of expertise. Otherwise, everything else is just empty talk.
So I hope you understand that to be an excellent doctor, you need the spirit of self-sacrifice, strong professional skills, good communication skills, and the courage to face difficulties. Moreover, you must have compassion for patients and treat medicine as a lifelong career, not merely as a profession.
This is why I want you to join the rural medical team." Dr. Xue’s words left Bai Xiao in silence.
