I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

I wonder if his temper, which he had suppressed for many years in Kyoto, will be worn down by this white tower.

But he is not composed at all now.

"Am I right?"

Aki Tomoya countered Majima's question.

The latter smiled helplessly: "I really hope that guy doesn't overthink it."

Speaking of which, Majima's father was also a medical professor, but he was from Keio University and served as the chief professor of cardiac surgery at Johoku Medical University Hospital.

He, like Suzuya, is very well-behaved here.

Of course, Majima's connections don't really work for the Todai faction.

In the Kanto region, especially in Tokyo, the affiliated university hospitals of the University of Tokyo, Jundai University, and Keio University are mostly in competition with each other.

"However, I think that the reason why Takagi-kun's father didn't bring this guy back and ignored him all these years is probably because, besides the fact that the deed was done, he also guessed what would happen to Takagi-kun after he entered this place, right?"

Aki Tomoya made his own guesses.

In Kyoto, Takagi was ultimately suppressed under his father's discipline.

Now that he's in Tokyo, his true nature is gradually emerging, and his father in Kyoto can no longer come to Tokyo to continue disciplining him.

However, the rules of the university hospital are absolutely sufficient to discipline this son in place of his father.

"forgive me."

Majima looked like he was begging for mercy, and it seemed he didn't want to say anything more about Takagi.

The way Takagi walked out just now clearly showed that he was still angry.

That kind of appearance is worrying.

"Let's go check out that guy."

Not only is Majima worried, but Aki Tomoya is worried too.

He just wants his friends to be happy, but saying the same thing too many times can create resistance.

Takagi, you shouldn't hold a grudge against yourself.

As soon as they stepped outside, they saw Suzuya waiting there. Upon seeing the two of them come out, he asked with a sigh, "What's wrong, Takagi-kun?"

He didn't disturb them, but Suzuya didn't go far either. After all, they were in the same group during their clinical internship and had been rotating together for a year and a half. Before Takagi came out, he waited outside and planned to go to report together.

As a result, the person did arrive, and Takagi was the first to come out. Upon seeing him, Takagi startled him.

"It's just a bit of a shock. Isn't the university hospital called the White Tower?"

Aki Tomoya said it casually without further explanation.

As a clinical intern, Aki Tomoya is not qualified to comment on the White Tower.

But it was tiring, for example, as Takagi mentioned, they weren't allowed to use the elevator, which was something I could only complain about silently.

However, he couldn't say he hadn't expected that someone like Takagi would be taught a lesson by his seniors for being a bit unconventional.

All I can say is that Takagi might need some time to work things out.

"...Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll be rotating again next week, probably going straight to the surgery department upstairs."

I spent a month in the gastroenterology department, and then it was only natural that I would rotate to the surgery department. That makes sense.

However, the specific arrangements will depend on the medical school and the hospital.

In any case, during this year and a half of clinical internship, they have to rotate through each department, familiarize themselves with the regulations and procedures of each department and hospital...

The next rotation will begin next week, which is three days away.

"Takagi-kun is still waiting up ahead, let's go find him first."

At the same time, Suzuya provided some information about Takagi.

Takagi came out and walked straight away. Suzuya could tell that the guy didn't not want to wait for people, but rather he didn't want to see him.

Chapter 407 A Glimpse of Shadow

Takagi was furious, but he wasn't confused.

Knowing that he would be rotating to another department in a few days, he saw no need to make himself uncomfortable at this crucial moment.

Perhaps it's time to think carefully about whether something should be changed after the next rotation.

They spent a month as interns in the gastroenterology department. During that time, they handled both big and small tasks. The big tasks were not their responsibility, but the small tasks were things they had to do and had no reason to refuse.

After completing my internship in the Department of Gastroenterology, I moved on to the Department of Gastroenterology for my next rotation.

The entire Southeast University Affiliated Hospital has so many departments, large and small, that it operates like a huge and sophisticated machine.

Bearing the heavy responsibility of medical care, the pressure increases over time in university hospitals where mistakes cannot be tolerated.

Aki Tomo didn't know what the atmosphere was like for ordinary patients in the university hospital. If one were to guess, some people might still vividly remember the authority of the White Tower.

But as an intern, from the perspective of what he can access, at least for now, he hasn't seen any so-called power struggles or desires for status within the hospital.

However, everyone was on high alert. In a department, the head professor was the boss, followed by associate professors, lecturers, chief physicians, and ordinary doctors, with a clear hierarchy.

The people in charge of the interns are likely to be lecturers, senior doctors, or regular doctors in the department, but certainly not professors.

Who is specifically in charge depends entirely on how busy the department is.

Normally, the lecturer is responsible for this.

However, people who work in university hospitals and also hold lecturer titles at the university generally don't have time to take care of interns if they are in busy departments.

So they would usually instruct their subordinates to carry it, and if they had time, they would also give some pointers.

In a hospital, which department isn't busy?

To be honest, there's no such thing as a hospital being busy or not busy. No matter which country you're in, medical resources are never enough.

In Japan alone, doctors are still in high demand because of the high dropout rate among medical students.

After completing their clinical internships, ordinary medical students still have to go through a training program; it's a long road to becoming a real doctor.

During this period, medical universities or medical schools have corresponding elimination systems.

The dropout rate at Dongda Lisan is not high, because the annual enrollment is only 97 people. Moreover, it is the most difficult place to get into in all of Japan, and it is the most elite group of students in Japan.

But this is only at the University of Tokyo; the overall dropout rate is about 30%.

Of those who survive the medical training program each year, about 70 percent remain.

Medical school is difficult to get into in any country, and it is even more so in Japan. They even list the admission routes for medical school separately. Some universities advertise which students have entered which prestigious universities, and they also focus on how many students are admitted to medical school each year.

Therefore, doctors still hold a high status in Japan.

During his clinical internship, Aki Tomoya spent one-third of his time learning the rules of university hospitals and two-thirds of his time practicing practical skills.

One advantage of starting my internship in the gastroenterology surgery department is that I can now work in the surgical observation room.

Whenever there is a surgery scheduled, if there is no other time, you can watch the surgery in the surgical observation room instead of just watching videos.

When people think of surgery, the first thing that comes to mind is the operating table.

It's certainly nice to be able to watch the surgery up close, but it's a pity that this is in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, where most surgeries are performed on the gastrointestinal tract.

Aki Tomoya's goal is cardiac surgery; he'd rather see cardiac surgery procedures performed.

Majima is the same as him in this respect; they are heading in the same direction.

Takagi and Suzuya are similar; these two people who get along the least both hope to work in neurosurgery in the future.

Speaking of Takagi, after leaving the gastroenterology department, Takagi became much more obedient and also stopped joking with them.

Knowing that the guy still harbored a lot of resentment, Aki Tomoya and Mashima often took care of his feelings and deliberately avoided certain topics.

But no matter where they were, he and Suzuya remained the same, never interacting and ignoring each other.

"We're going on another inspection tour today."

When they met in the department that morning, Takagi spoke in a low voice with a hint of sarcasm. The target of his sarcasm was none other than Suzuya, who had set his sights on becoming a professor ever since he entered the medical school.

Doctors make rounds, or rather, the head professor leads all the doctors and clinical trainees in the department on a round of rounds to conduct follow-up examinations on each patient.

In a national university hospital like the University of Tokyo Hospital, the Department of Gastroenterology alone is led by a chief professor, two associate professors, a lecturer, followed by nineteen general staff members including teaching assistants, and finally clinical trainees and clinical interns from the university.

During each ward round, the head professor is always accompanied by a large team of doctors.

Therefore, some people jokingly refer to it as a feudal lord's tour.

"It's the head professor making rounds."

Suzuya also corrected him in a low voice.

Ward rounds are a basic procedure in any hospital, but in university hospitals, they also signify status.

Suzuya had fantasized about being like some professors, with a large group of people following behind him every time he made his rounds.

However, in retrospect, that was just wishful thinking.

They can't even get involved in the brutal competition within university hospitals right now.

Suzuya ignored Takagi's sarcasm.
