Yu yan opened her eyes and stretched her hands, that was definitely the most satisfying sleep she has gotten for the past three days, she went downstairs and looked around, as usual, the hospital was once again filled with patients and of course, she wasn't surprised by the rowdiness in the emergency department.
She had been working in the hospital for seven years and she has never attended to less than twenty patients in a day. It requires lots of competition to get a job in Chen Affiliated hospital.
Most of the doctors and surgeons got their positions due to their connections but for people like her, they have to climb up to their position using their skills.
Yu yan graduated from Peking University as one of the top students, this made her qualified to become a doctor in the hospital, she is known for her speed in performing surgeries and her ability in diagnosing patients quickly. In the general surgery department, she is known to be the best surgeon following her boyfriend Chen Kai, who is the son of the CEO of Chen affiliated company.
Her best friend An Ke is a general surgeon who attended the same university with her, she could have had a higher position in the hospital using her parent's connection but like Yu Yan, she wanted to enter the hospital using her own abilities.
Yu yan heard a voice behind her and looked back, her face immediately turned downcast mixed with a surprised expression when she saw the person calling her.
"Yu Yan, come to my office now," Mrs Nanjing ordered, she was surprised to see her team leader in the hospital by that time.
She went with her team leader into the office and closed the door behind her, she was hoping that she hasn't made any mistake that would make the team leader suspend her from performing surgeries or make her work overtime.
"I was reading the log but I noticed that you performed an abdominal surgery yesterday," Mrs Nanjing said with a serious expression on her face which made Yu Yan feel uneasy.
"Yes, team leader, it was an emergency patient so I had to perform the surgery alone along with nurse Song Yi assisting me, I would have performed the surgery with An Ke as my assisting surgeon since the surgical crew were all busy but you had already suspended her from performing surgeries" Yu Yan replied
"That shouldn't be, Xiaomeng was also on a night shift yesterday, didn't she stay for her night shift, how is it possible that you were left alone to deal with the emergency patients," her team leader who was now enraged asked her, Mrs Nanjing is known for her strict rules when it comes to punctuality and attendance, so everyone under her leadership was always careful not to violate her rules.
"I don't think she was aware of that" Yu Yan said in an attempt to save Xiaomeng from the fury of their team leader.
"I understand you may leave," she said, she placed her elbow on the table in front of her and rubbed her forehead.
Yu yan was about to leave when she called her back and asked her to call Xiaomeng on her way out.
Yu yan entered into the office shared by her, An Ke, Xiaomeng and Li Chen.
"The team leader wants you in her office," Yu Yan said as she took her seat in front of her desk. Xiaomeng didn't bother to look at her when she entered, she just stood up from her seat and left the office.
She knocked on the door, then after receiving the permission to enter, she entered the office and shut the door behind her.
"Team Leader" Xiaomeng greeted but Mrs Nanjing didn't reciprocate the greeting which made Xiaomeng realize that she was probably in trouble or Yu Yan had complained about her.
"Why were you not present for the night shift yesterday," Mrs Nanjing asked with a frown on her face.
"Team leader I left a note on your table to inform you that I have an important appointment with my family yesterday so I thought you might have replaced me with someone else" Xiaomeng replied
"So, you think a note is enough to ask for an excuse are you not supposed to tell me yourself, how can you be sure that I saw the note" Mrs Nanjing said raising her voice, everyone outside the office shifted their attention to what was happening inside the office, they were wondering who had triggered the angry side of the team leader.
"I am sorry " Xiaomeng who was now in an awkward position said with her head slightly cowered.
"You may leave, " Mrs Nanjing said then she picked up some charts on the table and focused her eyes on them making Xiaomeng seem insignificant, she wasn't happy with the way the team leader treated her after all. she is someone with connections but she knew that she was lucky that she wasn't going to pursue the matter anymore which seemed like a miracle to her.
Xiaomeng went back into the office looking angry, they all looked at her knowing that she must have been scolded by the team leader.
"What was that all about," An Ke asked Yu Yan with curiosity written on her face.
"I just knew you were going to ask, she was supposed to be on a night shift yesterday but she didn't stay behind so I guess she got scolded by the team leader" Yu Yan whispered to An Ke;
"Ooh seems typical of her well I guess she is going to hold another grudge against you" An Ke whispered back
While they were still talking a nurse came in.
"Doctor Yu Yan a woman is here to see you" the nurse announced
"Did she tell you her name or the reason she wants to see me?" Yu Yan asked as she was not expecting anyone, at least not so early.
"She says she is the guardian of the patient you performed an operation on last night" the nurse replied
"ooh, I will be out in a minute " Yu Yan replied, then the nurse left the office, she organised her table and left the office.
"Who is she talking about?," Li Chen asked
"There is a woman who came in yesterday with her husband who had liver cirrhosis" An Ke answered.
"I don't think she has gone home for the past three days now, she must be feeling really tired by now".
"Like she is the only one who performs all the surgeries in this department," Xiaomeng who was now irritated by Li Chen comment said sarcastically
"We all know she is the best general surgeon in this hospital, not to talk of specialists surgeons" Li Chen replied
"She might be the best but what use is it when she will never get acknowledged" Xiaomeng replied
"We all know you have been jealous of her since you started working here since you came here using your mother's influence as one of the board of directors you wouldn't know what it is to work hard in order to achieve great things," An Ke said with mockery echoing in her voice.
Angered by An Ke words, she stormed out of the office. At the reception, Yu Yan finds the woman, she takes her into her husband's room.
"I will put you on the waiting list for a liver donor but you will do yourself a favour by making extra effort, the number of people we have on the waiting list is far too much and I don't think you husband can wait until then," Yu Yan said
"How long do we have to find a donor," she asked with worry etched on every area of her face.
"Within three months he needs liver transplant" Yu Yan replied
"Thank you, doctor," the woman said as she held both of Yu yan's hands.
They both went out of the room and yu yan escorted her to the hospital entrance, then she returned to her office.
"How did your discussion go?," Li Chen asked,
"Her husband needs a liver transplant as soon as possible without the transplant he would have to continue undergoing paracentesis until the transplant" Yu Yan replied then she sighed heavily.
"I think you should transfer the patient case to the hepatology department," Li Chen said
"I was just about to ask nurse Song to send his chart to the hepatology department" Yu Yan replied.
She looked around then she noticed that Xiaomeng was not in the office.
"Where did Xiaomeng go?" she asked.
"There was a little argument between her and An Ke" Li Chen replied then he turned to look at An Ke with an accusing glare.
"Why are you looking at me? she just got angry for no reason and left," An Ke defended knowing that Li Chen was looking at her to make her feel guilty.
"Obviously I am the one she doesn't like but the both of you argue more than we do," Yu Yan said.
"ooh, so that makes me the villain for getting into an argument with her by defending you" An Ke replied sarcastically.
