The next morning, Lin Miao and An Kemeng followed Lin Jie to the University Affiliated Hospital.
The two headed to Yao Henan's ward because Lin Jie had told them that the star visiting from the United States would also be staying in a luxurious ward on that floor.
Lin Jie went to the office where fourteen students were waiting, not a single one missing.
He Yimin also came, but while others were standing, she was in a wheelchair.
Lin Jie asked with concern, "He Yimin, why aren't you resting well in your ward? Why are you here?"
He Yimin declined others' assistance, stood up slowly on her own, and said softly, "Teacher, I can walk on my own now. If it weren't for the insistence of my seniors, I wouldn't need the wheelchair."
"This is your first gathering after your annual leave; how can I miss it?"
Lin Jie chuckled and said, "I wouldn't call this a lecture, just a few things to discuss. You should sit down first."
After He Yimin settled down again, Lin Jie continued, "I suppose you've all heard about how Tian Xiangyu, Guo Peng, Zeng Yang, and Yan Beichen stepped up at the northern ski resort to actively treat passengers injured in a car accident?"
Seeing everyone nodding, Lin Jie smiled and said, "The local government sent a report and letter of commendation to the Medical College and the Affiliated Hospital, suggesting appropriate honors and rewards for you."
"Teacher, as doctors, it's our duty to do these things, honors and rewards aren't necessary."
Tian Xiangyu spoke on behalf of the group and continued, "After the emergency broadcast, hundreds of ski tourists flocked to that small hospital to donate blood."
"Without this emergency blood supply, the severely injured would have been in grave danger."
"Moreover, after the accident, it was the doctors and nurses from that hospital and many residents nearby who carried the injured on stretchers and wooden boards to the hospital step by step."
"Compared to others' contributions, we only did what we could and should do."
Lin Jie nodded, saying, "It's great that you have this awareness."
"Regarding your rewards and honors, the academy and the hospital will consider and express something."
"Guo Peng, Zeng Yang, and Yan Beichen!"
Lin Jie called out three more names and said, "Compared to Tian Xiangyu, you're not yet officially doctors, and you've never led a surgery, but in this incident, you broke through yourselves and dared to take responsibility."
"You performed very well, and I'm quite pleased."
Lin Jie expressed with emotion, "I know many undesirable events happen in society, and there are often reports of being extorted for doing good deeds."
"However, we should not be deterred by potential negative outcomes. When we have the ability to save people, we should not stand by."
"Today, I'll give you a promise!"
Lin Jie solemnly said, "If you encounter a similar situation again, do not hesitate. Use what you've learned to save people without worrying about the consequences of failure."
"If anything bad happens..."
He stated emphatically, "I'll hire lawyers for you if there's a lawsuit. If you lose, I'll cover the compensation costs."
"Thank you, Teacher!"
"Teacher, you're awesome!"
Fang Huanru, Zhao Fang, and others applauded eagerly in the small office.
Lin Jie waved his hand a few times to quiet them and said with a smile, "Even though I've made you a promise, you can't impulsively rush into every situation."
"Remember, I'm talking about emergency situations only."
"Don't jump into everything, or I won't have enough assets to cover it."
Guo Peng laughed, "Teacher, you don't need to worry about that."
"We all know that your wife's assets are quite substantial..."
Lin Jie glared at him and said, "You three, I've already arranged for a psychological consultant for you."
"Afterwards, head over to the psychiatry department to find Deputy Director Yue, and he will make the specific arrangements."
Guo Peng casually said, "Teacher, we're all fine."
"This incident hasn't had any negative impact on us; there's no need for psychological intervention. It's a waste of the hospital's resources."
Lin Jie became serious and said sternly, "Whether you need psychological intervention isn't up to you or me. It's only decided after you speak with the consultant."
Seeing Lin Jie's unprecedented severity, Guo Peng, along with Zeng Yang and Yan Beichen, obediently agreed.
Lin Jie then instructed, "The separation surgery for the conjoined twins' cranial brains is tentatively scheduled for the eighteenth of the lunar calendar."
"Tian Xiangyu, during this period, you're responsible for leading Gao Yanhong, Lu Xiaoyu, Wei Hongyang, and Ma Hongmin in supervision, coordination, and service work to ensure every participant's preparation progress stays on schedule."
"Teacher, rest assured!" Tian Xiangyu promised!
Lin Jie looked at Song Licheng and the others, reminding them, "Song Licheng, Zeng Yang, Zhao Fang, your graduation theses should be finalized by early March."
"Teacher, we will do our best," Song Licheng stated on behalf of the three.
Lin Jie nodded and said, "Fang Huanru, Huo Guangheng, He Yimin, stay behind, the rest of you can leave."
After the others had left, he said to Fang Huanru and Huo Guangheng, "Around noon, a patient from the United States will arrive at Binhai International Airport."
"The two of you go and pick them up."
"Remember, the patient's identity is somewhat special, try to keep it confidential. Once you meet the patient, head directly to the luxury ward of the inpatient building using the special elevator in Zone 3 underground parking lot."
Fang Huanru's eyes lit up, and she eagerly asked, "Teacher, last time it was an American football star, who is it this time?"
"It's said to be a movie star; specifically, I don't know, they came to treat facial nerve damage."
Lin Jie explained briefly and cautioned, "Keep it confidential, foreigners value their privacy highly."
"Huo Guangheng, Slophel will accompany the patient, you know this person, so contact and liaise with him once at the airport."
Huo Guangheng nodded lightly.
When only He Yimin was left in the office, Lin Jie poured her a glass of water and said softly, "I heard you spend a lot of time every day answering questions and solving problems for those little ones."
"You've even been looking at medical records for them, doing remote diagnoses?"
He Yimin took a sip of water and smiled softly, "Lying in bed all day gets a bit boring, so I talk to them more when I'm free."
"Teacher, these youngsters are quite good, and the questions they ask are quite profound."
Lin Jie snorted, saying, "A bunch of kids who haven't even graduated high school—what deep questions can they ask!"
"Many of the selected youngsters have some family background; if not parents, then close relatives are doctors or work in healthcare-related fields."
"He Yimin, you might be engaging with their family members from afar."
He Yimin's eyes turned, then she chuckled and said, "Teacher, your reminder made me realize, there really is such a possibility."
"I was just wondering how their level could allow them to ask such high-level questions."
"And those medical records they inquire about?"
Lin Jie snorted, "Either they purposely pulled out certain medical records to test you, or they're presenting real medical records, making you a free consultant for their diagnosis."
He Yimin said somewhat embarrassedly, "Teacher, you're really perceptive. How did you find out? Am I too slow to react since so many days passed without me noticing?"
"It's not that you're slow to react, you just weren't thinking in that direction."
Lin Jie explained, "I realized it when Xue Linlin complained to me."
"A few days ago, she called me in despair, saying she increasingly couldn't understand her classmates' questions, let alone your responses. She started to doubt her own learning abilities and medical talent."
"I know a bit about Xue Linlin's level, and her complaints made me sense something strange."
"Then I borrowed Kemeng's account, logged into your WeChat group, and found out that the issues you were discussing were truly beyond my expectations."
"Thinking about how parents online often help kindergarteners and primary schoolers with their homework, I suspected this situation might be somewhat similar."
Lin Jie said sternly, "He Yimin, tell them that you'll assess their knowledge based on the caliber of their questions, and there will be a test after the semester begins."
"Also, communicate my basic requirements to them: diligence and self-discipline."
Lin Jie, with a hint of menace in his tone, said, "There are thirty spots, which is quite many; I don't mind cutting half of them, or even more..."
He Yimin quietly stuck out her tongue and replied, "Teacher, I'll remind and caution them."
She also defended them, saying, "Actually, it's not entirely their fault. Maybe my guidance in the group was a bit misguided, causing some misunderstanding that led to parental involvement."
"The reality in our country is that families always try their best to make their children perform better to gain more attention and resources."
Lin Jie criticized, "He Yimin, you don't need to defend them."
"You must understand that the stricter you are with them, the better. Medicine cannot tolerate any falsehood; any falsity may someday cost a life."
"Being strict with them is being responsible for them, and also responsible for their future patients."
He Yimin lowered her head and said, "Teacher, I understand my mistake, I'll certainly treat them strictly."
Lin Jie's tone softened, "This isn't originally your job..."
He Yimin raised her head, quickly saying, "Teacher, even though it isn't my job, since I've accepted it, I should do it well. This is my fault; teacher, I will definitely correct it, please don't let anyone else take over."
After a moment of silence, Lin Jie said, "Since you insist, alright then, continue to guide them."
"However, remember, spend at most half an hour on them each day, and don't let it interfere with your own matters..."
