Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

What is a military doctor?

"All doctors, medical soldiers, sanitary workers and any other military personnel involved in medical services can be called military doctors. A military doctor is a soldier first and a doctor second, or you could say a soldier who supports with medical skills. We are very different from the cultural civil servants of the art troupe who sing and dance, and also different from the civil servants working in military offices." This is not something Guo Xiuying said, but the words of Wang Sanbao, a senior member within the medical corps.

Feng Qingxue is proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, and she is, of course, skilled in emergency care, treatment of wounds, and bone setting. However, she is well aware that surgical operations, including those on the battlefield, are her weak points — she has no experience whatsoever.

So, as soon as her job was settled, she asked for training.

Guo Xiuying highly valued her and specially arranged for Wang Sanbao, a veteran military doctor with over thirty years of experience, to mentor her.

Mentorship here refers to guidance and instruction.

Wang Sanbao is a typical heroic figure among military medical staff. He often shuttles through gunfire, has witnessed the bloodshed on the battlefield, saved many casualties, and watched many comrades never return to their hometowns. His mental health was affected after his first major battle, and it took a long time for him to recover. Ultimately, he decided never to marry.
