Chapter: 80
Thanks to her remarkable memory, Norah quickly absorbed the information.
The Cardiac Surgery Department was bustling, with many patients awaiting surgery and the wards nearly at capacity.
When lunchtime arrived, a fellow doctor approached Norah's desk and said, "Dr. Wilson, are you familiar with where the cafeteria is? I can show you the way."
Norah, already well-acquainted with Silver Boulder Private Hospital, appreciated the gesture but technically didn't require guidance.
Nevertheless, she accepted the friendly offer from the female doctor and said, "That sounds great, thank you."
As they headed to the cafeteria, the doctor introduced herself, “I'm Jolie Austin. I've been at Silver Boulder Private Hospital for three years. What about you? Where were you before this?"
“This is actually my first position," Norah revealed.
Previously, Norah had only completed an internship at Silver Boulder Private Hospital.
Jolie was visibly impressed and replied, "That's incredible. To start your career in the Cardiac Surgery Department here is quite an achievement."
Given Silver Boulder Private Hospital's reputation for high recruitment standards, Jolie felt proud to have joined it after three years at a major hospital, viewing her own path as noteworthy.
Jolie realized that Norah's direct entry into such a prestigious department without prior work experience marked her as exceptionally talented.
Indeed, the Cardiac Surgery Department not only offered high salaries but also demanded specialized expertise from its doctors.
Norah gave a smile but remained silent. Silence was best at this moment.
Norah could only remember Baylor and Jolie on her first working day.
That afternoon, Jolie and Norah headed out with medical files to make rounds. After that, Jolie showed Norah around for a while.
“These are the patients under my care. Once you're more familiar with the policies and procedures here, Jamison will likely assign some to you."
Noticing Norah without much to do, Baylor suggested, "Dr. Wilson, you might want to look over additional case files. Jamison will evaluate our performance at the end of the month, and anyone falling short might face serious repercussions."
Baylor left the nature of the repercussions to the imagination.
Norah had a good impression of Jamison, seeing him as a committed and diligent doctor who always encouraged the team to stay focused and enhance their skills, even during a hectic schedule. He had no tolerance for laziness or neglect among the doctors!
In Norah's observation, the prospects at Silver Boulder Private Hospital's Cardiac Surgery Department seemed promising. And undoubtedly, it was a busy place.
Jolie shared, “The Cardiac Surgery Department has eight doctors. Two are away on exchange programs, three are busy with outpatient consultations, and one is currently in surgery and hasn't finished yet. Dr. Padilla and I are responsible for making rounds today."
This made Norah realize just how bustling the Cardiac Surgery Department was. They were in charge of everything, whether outpatient or inpatient care.
Norah nodded and said, "I had assumed fewer doctors were working here."
"The department is filled with highly skilled doctors. Take Baylor, for example. He may come across as soft-spoken, but his surgical skills are remarkable! Yet, when it comes to surgery, the Supernatural Doctor is in a league of her own. Her success rate in operations is a staggering 100%! It's unbelievable," Jolie said.
