Shea Thorne quietly walked to the door; the office did not have the confrontation she expected, but was instead silent without a sound.
Peeking cautiously through the glass window of the office door, she saw Milo Sinclair sitting in an office chair, surrounded by many medical students, led by Jonah Bell and Zoe Wymond. The people she saw in the morning were within the group, along with a few she did not recognize.
It seemed like all the students were gathered this time, not a single one missed.
Inside it was quiet, Milo Sinclair flipped through everyone's reports, slowly and seriously, one page at a time.
Each person was tense, anxiously thinking whether there were flaws in their report, fearing he might find any evidence and call them out.
However, Milo Sinclair finished reading all the reports without saying a word to anyone, just neatly putting the report away, taking off the gold-rimmed glasses from his face, rubbing the bridge of his nose, and softly asked, "What do you do when a patient suddenly has angina?"
This question came suddenly, catching everyone off guard.
"Jonah Bell, tell me what causes it?" Seeing everyone silent, Milo Sinclair called out: "This is basic knowledge from National Medical University, don't tell me you've forgotten."
Jonah Bell shook his head, anxious about why he became the target: "Mostly due to insufficient coronary artery blood supply, acutely temporary ischemia, and hypoxia of the myocardium, leading to a clinical syndrome primarily manifested as episodic chest pain or chest discomfort."
Milo Sinclair asked again: "Zoe Wymond, what are the symptoms during an attack?"
"Paroxysmal, oppressive pain in the precordial area, which can be accompanied by other symptoms. Pain is mainly located behind the sternum, radiating to the precordial area and left upper limb, often occurring during physical or emotional stress, each episode lasting 3-5 minutes, can happen several times a day or once in several days."
"Anything else?"
"These symptoms are mostly seen in men, with most cases occurring over the age of forty." Zoe Wymond, increasingly anxious, did not know why he was asking her these basic questions.
"Good, well said."
Milo Sinclair praised and appreciated, standing up in front of a group of students. He returned from abroad after completing the "Tricia Six" elite program, invited by National Medical University to teach and lead outstanding students involved in "Tricia Six," aiming for widespread adoption domestically.
However, today, he saw his failure.
The low pressure made students unable to relax, even after Milo Sinclair's praise they were still on edge.
"Entering National Medical University, studying medicine for five years, emerging among thousands of people to have the opportunity to join this program, but today, I saw a group of doctors gathered together, driving away a patient." Milo Sinclair feeling quite heavy, looked at the people behind him. Some followed him to the public lecture this morning, while others appeared in the video.
"Saying you are quacks, even demeans the word 'quack'!"
These words fell, and the students present in the morning knew what had happened, Milo Sinclair knew.
"Master, it wasn't like you saw, that girl this morning is Miles Crawford's neighbor. Today she sneaked in, we just wanted..." Zoe Wymond, bolder, tried to come out and explain.
"Whose relationship is it, I don't want to know! Jenson Hall has no entry restrictions, how come you say sneaked in?!" Milo Sinclair immediately interrupted her: "You are with my first batch of students, others are already out there independently practicing, you are still here calling ambulances, what have you read over these years?!"
"According to your statement, a robber sneaked in today, you can just slash his neck, send him to meet God?!" Zoe Wymond was defeated by his questioning, wanted to retort but dared not say more, Milo Sinclair was furious.
Today, regardless of Shea Thorne's relationship with him, he would be angry: "National Medical University is filled with doctors, how rare a case is a young girl with angina? You can scan with your eyes alone to detect she's faking?! So capable, why not go to radiology to scan?!"
"Others come in, sneaky, whose friend has a ticket entry?! Unable to provide emergency care observation for sudden illness, proudly claiming to have a future as a doctor?! Lost all professional conduct of a doctor, what future can you speak of?!"
The video matter, outsiders watching may feel Shea Thorne is asking for trouble, deserved to be sticking herself.
But National Medical University has been talking about his students' failure to rescue, meant his reputation is disgraced throughout National Medical University; Senior Aldridge found him also concerning this matter. In the video, Shea Thorne was visibly unable to hold on, Zoe Wymond still says ordinary people can't rescue!
"Who are you?! You can't rescue? What kind of ordinary person are you, standing here disgracing with a skin!" Thinking about the video, Milo Sinclair was even angrier; his students became the subject of gossip in the institute just one morning.
No wonder Shea Thorne asked him, if a former girlfriend fell before him, what he would do, and pulled out deep hatred and resentment, realizing she almost fainted here from pain.
"I'm not..." Zoe Wymond did not expect to be scolded like this, wanted to open her mouth to explain but couldn't speak.
Miles Crawford couldn't watch it anymore, stood up and said: "Master, this is all because of me, Senior Sister just wanted to drive her away for me, blame me if you must."
"Blame you? It's your turn to play hero here? Where were you when it's your turn to rescue?!"
What is blame? Essentially, it's not believing Milo Sinclair is troublesome, rather not admitting he himself is wrong, this recognition shattered Miles Crawford's years of outstanding facade.
He always distinguished between public and private, advocated feelings of willing to endure.
Previously, there was always rumors saying Miles Crawford deliberately dangling his female neighbor, letting her work hard for him, yet tangled with Zoe Wymond at school, wanting to enjoy the benefits of having both; Milo Sinclair never took it seriously, nor thought to intervene in others' private lives.
But now personal life affected his professional aspect, Milo Sinclair looked at Miles Crawford, then looked at Zoe Wymond being protected behind him, a few students present behind him looking down not daring to speak recklessly, probably understood the reason within.
Not unwilling to rescue, but Zoe Wymond the senior sister declared "Ordinary people can't rescue, call an ambulance" so none dared to move.
"You are my first batch of students, only you are still in the laboratory with classmates. Go and see what the other two are doing." Milo Sinclair unreservedly told Zoe Wymond: "One is practicing at The Sinclair Group, outstanding thesis grades, another teaching at National Medical University, pursuing a doctorate this year and teaching while continuing studies."
"Master, I'm sorry..." Zoe Wymond felt somewhat reproachful toward Miles Crawford for meddling, now this situation was caused by the trouble with Ariana Thorne he stirred, yet ultimately she was reprimanded by the master.
To this, Miles Crawford felt quite apologetic looking at Zoe Wymond, wanted to convey his apology, seemingly both blamed Ariana Thorne.
Milo Sinclair shook his head: "At first, your grades were the best, the institute most looked forward to you, but now you've only learned to compete jealously, making me very disappointed."
The male-to-female ratio in medical studies was severe; the institute most anticipated Zoe Wymond also had the intention of supporting female studies, Milo Sinclair with a stern face, told Zoe Wymond: "In terms of seniority, you are here the longest, but Jonah Bell is the one who always becomes teaching assistant. If you truly reflect, you should know the reason."
Everyone in the laboratory knew what Milo Sinclair meant; Zoe Wymond had the longest tenure, but Jonah Bell was the fastest progressing.
The same start line, Miles Crawford and Zoe Wymond entangled, Jonah Bell next month will present a research report before institute leadership, expectedly can teach new undergraduates course next semester to earn living subsidies.
Zoe Wymond getting overtaken, yet still behaving domineeringly here.
"National Medical University seniority ranks not by duration, whoever came longest is the biggest, but by competency and medical ethics." Milo Sinclair looked at Zoe Wymond, picked her report out from the pile, throwing it in front of Miles Crawford, saying: "Go play hero elsewhere, in front of me hero saving beauty, only makes me question your professional ethics as a doctor."
Besides the report thrown in front of Miles Crawford, the remaining reports were all thrown into the trash bin, Milo Sinclair looked at everyone present, saying: "Today write a self-description about being a doctor for me, if unable to meet the standard, dare write pleasantries, I will apply for mentor change for you."
"Before writing, think about the first lesson you took entering National Medical University."
Every student entering National Medical University, before becoming a doctor, must undergo this lesson—the Hippocratic Oath.
He does not want such students, it utterly disgraces the threshold he maintained over these years as a doctor.
