Apart from the faint sound of Yoshida typing on his keyboard, there was almost no other noise in the entire department.
Around four in the morning, Aki Tomoya's desk was piled high with surgical knots, and the ropes were all gone.
"Dr. Nakagawa, would you like to come and examine me?"
"You've used it all up? The department doesn't have any left. You'll have to buy more yourself next time!"
Aki Tomoya never expected Nakagawa's response to be like this.
He glanced at the other person helplessly, and at that moment he had the idea of changing his supervising doctor.
If only Sasaki Ichiru, who was in charge of arranging their affairs, were his supervising doctor.
That person looks very capable.
"I hope you can use it just as well on patients."
Dr. Nakagawa glanced at it briefly and said something that Aki Tomo couldn't tell whether it was a compliment or a joke.
Aki Tomo didn't overthink it, just glanced at the time and muttered, "Nothing's happened yet..."
"If nothing's wrong, that's the best thing."
Chapter 428 A Peaceful Night
Nakagawa replied casually.
When you're on night duty, nothing happening is the best thing.
He glanced at the clock in the office and continued, "If someone came looking for us at this time, do you think it would be a good thing?"
Late at night, the hospital's internal phone rings, or the on-duty nurses come looking for you.
That most likely means the patient has a problem.
It's not that we find it troublesome, but rather that no one wants anything to happen to the patient.
"It's not good to expect anything to happen tonight. It's best if the patients get a good night's sleep and recover safely."
Nakagawa knew what Aki Tomoya was hoping for.
He was like that back then.
When I'm on duty, I always fantasize about any emergency that might occur, and then I step in to resolve it.
But those were the days. After more than ten years as a doctor, the best thing is that the patients are safe and sound.
Seeing that Nakagawa had become a little more serious, Aki Tomoya scratched his face, then became obedient and said, "I've learned something."
“Aki-kun, it’s almost dawn. If you’re tired, you can rest. I won’t tell on you, but Dr. Yoshida might not.”
"Nakagawa, would you like me to perform surgery on you?"
"Just kidding, Dr. Yoshida, please get some rest. It's getting late, you should go home too."
I wasn't supposed to be on duty with Yoshida tonight, but since the director had some things to do before going to the academic conference in Kyoto, Yoshida had to use his rest time to take care of them.
"Anyway, I'm just staying in the hospital, what's the difference?"
Yoshida made a casual remark and then went back to doing his own thing.
Instead of provoking Yoshida, Nakagawa found some other things for Aki Tomoya to do.
Once the surgical knots are tied, it's time to read books. After reading the books, he looks at the department's previous cases. There's plenty of work for him to do.
The night passed quietly, and as the sun rose, the darkness was gradually driven away.
"Ready to make rounds."
Before they knew it, it was eight o'clock in the morning. Nakagawa asked Aki Tomoya to prepare things, such as the patient's medical records, X-rays, and various related examination reports.
It was at this time that other people in the department also came to the department one after another, including two other resident doctors from the Department of Cardiac Surgery.
Everyone is preparing for the morning rounds.
"After the room check, you can go and rest."
Nakagawa casually mentioned it to Aki Tomoya.
He also needs to go home after his rounds. Aki Tomoya also worked the night shift with him and deserves a good rest.
"Aki-kun, have you been doing this all night?"
Majima, dressed in his uniform, walked over and looked at the surgical knots on Aki Tomoya's desk with curiosity, asking...
Aki Tomoya simply tidied up a bit and replied, "A peaceful night."
After a peaceful night, Majima seemed somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, as if he was also looking forward to encountering some emergency during his night shift.
Fortunately, nothing happened last night and everything was quite peaceful.
Good morning, Aki-kun.
Good morning, Nishikino.
They had all arrived at their respective departments to prepare for the morning rounds.
The ward rounds begin at 8:30 a.m., with different roles for resident physicians, attending physicians, and chief physicians at each level.
Resident physicians, including trainees, are responsible for everything, big or small. They need to arrive at the department in advance to prepare patients' medical records and various related examination reports, and then follow the attending physician to ask questions one by one.
The attending physician will conduct focused examinations and discussions after the resident physicians report, to understand the changes in the patient's condition, verify the implementation of medical orders, the effectiveness of clinical treatment and surgery, and medical care.
Finally, the chief physician conducts a final review, focusing on the critically ill patients.
The ward rounds at a private hospital are quite different from those at a university hospital, at least they don't have that same grandeur.
After finishing his rounds, Nakagawa packed up and left the hospital, while Aki Tomoya also carried his surgical knots and prepared to rest.
“That guy Nakagawa tricked you into tying surgical knots all night, and you actually did it?”
Yoshida came out from behind and couldn't help but laugh when he saw the surgical knots that Aki Tomoya was holding.
Aki Tomo didn't say anything, and didn't take Yoshida's words to heart.
However, judging from Yoshida's direction, he seems to be going in the same direction as him. He must have stayed up all night and probably needs to rest too.
At this moment, Aki Tomoya also remembered that Yoshida himself had said in the early morning that he was staying in the hospital.
"Is Dr. Yoshida also going to rest?"
"I'm going to get something; I need to continue during the day."
He shook his head. It wasn't his turn to be on duty last night, and he wasn't supposed to get a break either.
Moreover, Yoshida didn't intend to go back to rest just like that; he still had to keep busy during the day.
He seemed to be in good spirits, so he must be used to it.
"Get some rest."
Yoshida patted Aki Tomoya on the shoulder, then quickly walked ahead.
……
Aki Tomoya didn't sleep for long in the resident physician's rest room arranged by the hospital.
He went back at 10 o'clock and woke up at around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, after his lunch break had ended.
He slept for only four hours before returning to his department.
"Aki-kun, aren't you going to rest any longer?"
When he returned to the department, he ran into Sasaki Ichiru. He glanced at Aki Tomoya and remembered that the other man should have been on duty last night and should be resting today.
"I've had enough rest, Dr. Sasaki."
His mental state is okay. Although he had been on duty all night, he recovered well after sleeping for four hours.
At the same time, Aki Tomoya looked around the department and saw that Majima and Nishikino were not there; they were probably with other doctors.
“Majima-kun and Nishikino-kun are currently with the other doctors in charge of the adult department. Um, you can come with me today. If you get tired, go back and rest.”
"Understood, Dr. Sasaki."
After confirming Aki Tomoya's mental state once again, Sasaki Ichiru nodded.
He asked Aki Tomoya to stay in the department for the time being, saying that he would come back to see him soon.
"Aki-kun, you're back?"
Yoshida looked up and glanced at Aki Tomoya. It had only been four hours since they last saw each other, and he couldn't help but sigh that youth is indeed a wonderful thing.
"As expected of a young person..."
Youth is an asset; it lasts longer and recovery is faster.
"Dr. Yoshida, you look to be in good spirits."
"Me? I'm alright, I guess. By the way, instead of following Dr. Sasaki, why don't you follow me? Think about it?"
Aki Tomo didn't say anything, but looked at the figure that had suddenly returned from the doorway.
"Dr. Yoshida, wouldn't it be better to just focus on your own work?"
Sasaki only went out for a short while, but when he came back, he saw Yoshida talking nonsense with the trainee doctor.
