Chapter 15: Lectures
"Where's Ye Lan?"
Early in the morning of Saturday, Tian Lu and Feng Lin stood at the gate of the girls' dormitory and waited for a while, but they only saw Liu Linlin coming downstairs and couldn't help but ask strangely.
Liu Linlin stuck out her tongue and said, "Lan Lan asked me to tell you, she won't go today." Someone called her late yesterday and said she was going to a lecture, so she left early in the morning. β
"Lectures?
Feng Lin frowned and asked.
Lingnan Medical College has an old brand, a great reputation, and a deep heritage, so there are many external experts such as so-called visiting professors and special professors, and there are various lectures for students almost every week. Of course, most of the lectures are high-end and aimed at the graduate level and above, but there are a few that are aimed at undergraduates, and some are quite worth listening to.
However, if Ye Lan can give up her own proposed trip to Dangmu Lake, this lecture seems unusual!
"Hmmγγγγγγ β
Liu Linlin tilted her head and tried to recall: "It seems to be a usme or usle or something, anyway, it is a lecture on how to get a medical practitioner certificate in the United States, Lan Lan said that she was interested in this a long time ago, so she wanted to listen to it, so she won't go today." β
"It's usmle, right?"
Feng Lin's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.
"Yes, yes, it's this usmle!" As soon as she heard her boyfriend say her full name, Liu Linlin slapped her forehead and immediately affirmed.
"Where's this lecture?"
Feng Lin was also immediately interested, and said decisively: "Why don't we go and listen to it, I heard that this exam is very popular now, and many people in our school don't look for jobs or take the postgraduate examination every year, so they ******** go to take this exam." β
is related to her boyfriend's future, Liu Linlin naturally will not object, but Tian Lu hesitated in his heart, and he didn't want to go. He had just passed such a difficult exam, and he really didn't want to spend a little more energy, and he just wanted to relax and relax in the past two days.
Seeing Tian Lu's expression, Feng Lin, who was familiar with his friend's temperament, immediately gave Liu Linlin a look, and then turned his head and persuaded: "Tian Lu, go and listen, we are already in our third year, and we have to consider the way out in the future at this time next year, whether you have the heart to take the test or not, it always doesn't hurt to know more about a road." β
After getting her boyfriend's signal, Liu Linlin also nodded and said, "Yes, Tian Lu, I want to hear Feng Lin say this, let's go together!"
Under the vigorous efforts of Feng Lin and Liu Linlin, Tian Lu had no choice but to agree, and the three of them put their things back in the dormitory and hurried to the small hall of the school. When I arrived, I was shocked to find that this so-called USMLE lecture was so popular, that the small auditorium that could accommodate more than 300 people was actually full, and even the aisles were full of students who came to listen to the lecture!
When Tian Lu and the three of them arrived, there was almost no open space to stand, but fortunately, Feng Lin was tall and strong, and after squeezing for a while with a thick skin, the three of them successfully stood next to the emergency exit on one side.
It didn't take long for the lecture to begin.
After the host exchanged a few words of greetings and introduced the identity and achievements of the speaker, a young woman in a professional suit walked briskly onto the podium amid warm applause.
This woman is less than thirty years old, with a medium stature and a relatively average appearance, but what makes Tian Lu's eyes shine is a temperament that naturally exudes from the other party: it is an extremely confident and extremely capable temperament, which has a very fresh feeling compared with the immaturity of the female classmates he usually comes into contact with. From the introduction of the host, Tian Lu knew that this woman's name was Fang Hua, and she was also a graduate of Lingnan Medical College, but she directly took the medical licensing examination in the United States after graduation, and is now doing pediatric residency training in a hospital in Houston.
"Hello everyone, I'm Fang Hua, your 91-level senior sister, I'm glad that so many junior brothers and sisters have come to listen to my lecture on usmle today, I think since you have come to listen to the lecture, you must have a preliminary understanding of usmle, so I won't talk nonsense, let's go straight to the point." β
This senior sister named Fang Hua doesn't have the habit of ordinary people coming up to talk nonsense first, and it directly even makes Tian Lu a little unbearable: others know it, but he doesn't quite understand it!
Knowing that Tian Lu had always been unconcerned about these things, Feng Lin immediately leaned into his ear and whispered: "USMLE is the medical practitioner exam in the United States, but it is different from our country, it is divided into several steps, and I heard that it is very difficult. β
"First of all, I would like to remind everyone that the USMLE exam is very difficult, at least for Chinese medical students, and there are absolutely few people who can successfully pass it every year! β
The first sentence caused an uproar in the small auditorium, but it was obvious that Fang Hua did not mean to stop, but continued to say loudly: " And if you are interested in taking the USMLE, I think you must have at least the following three conditions: first, you must work hard, which I think everyone understands, you are a foreigner, if you want to go to the United States to become a doctor, you naturally have to pay more time and energy; second, you must be determined, in order to prepare for the exam, I spent three years, and among the people I know, it took at least about two years; third, to have money, my opinion is to prepare 200,000 yuan first, which is the basic cost!"
The uproar in the small auditorium had turned into an uproar, a chaotic discussion, especially this last one, which suddenly made many people change their faces.
The audience was in chaos, but Fang Hua on the stage was silent, picked up the mineral water on the table and took a sip, and waited until the auditorium was a little quieter, then continued: "I know that everyone has a lot of doubts in their hearts, so now I will start with the different medical training systems in the United States and Chinaγγγγγγ β
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
The other two roommates went out to play in the morning, and when Feng Lin and the others came back, the dormitory was quiet, and several people were obviously still in the shock brought by the lecture, and they were silent one by one.
After a long time, Ye Lan was the first to break the silence and said with a smile: "How about the two of you, do you have any thoughts after listening to it?"
Liu Linlin is not a medical student, and the two in her mouth naturally refer to Feng Lin and Tian Lu. Seeing that Tian Lu was frowning and still looking thoughtful, Feng Lin took the lead in sighing: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, it turns out that the difference between us and the United States is so big!"
"It's not a difference, it's a gap!"
Regarding Feng Lin's speech, Ye Lan obviously didn't agree with it, shook her head and corrected: "Let's not talk about the level of medicine for the time being, but let's talk about the training system of medical students and residents, the gap between us and others is not small. β
With a suffocated expression, Feng Lin's face was a little unsightly, but after a little hesitation, he sighed lightly and acquiesced to Ye Lan's statement.
Tian Lu's brow furrowed even deeper.
"I think it's the way to go!"
Seeing that the two boys didn't speak, Ye Lan's eyes flashed with a look, and she said seriously: "Think about it, if you pass the exam and go to the United States as a resident, you will be able to receive the most professional training and get in touch with the most cutting-edge technology, even if you don't want to stay there in the future, it will definitely be very good to return to China for development!"
When she said these words, Ye Lan was obviously very excited, her right hand waved violently with the change in tone, and in the end, she couldn't help but stand up from her chair!
"Butγγγγγγ β
As a layman, Liu Linlin has been silent, but at this time she couldn't help but say timidly: "But the exam will take at least two years, plus four or five years of residency training, and it will take six or seven years if you want to learn it." β
"That's not a problem!"
Before Ye Lan could speak, Feng Lin waved his hand first and said, "Take me as an example, if you want to go back to Kyoto in the future and want to go to a tertiary hospital, you must at least graduate with a doctorate, and it will take six years, which is about the same." β
"The key is whether you can pass the test!"
At this time, Tian Lu finally couldn't help but speak: "You have all heard that the success rate is very low, and many people give up halfway! Besides, even if you pass in the end, what if you can't find a hospital willing to accept you for residency training? There is only a 50 percent success rate, what if you fail? Have you thought about it?"
"Why don't you have a little momentum?" Hearing Tian Lu's words, Ye Lan was a little unhappy, and said with a calm face: "You have to try everything, right? I think it's hard to accept that you say that you will definitely fail without trying!"
Ye Lan's tone was a little impulsive, and after finishing speaking, she also felt that her tone was too heavy, and she was slightly apologetic, but after seeing Tian Lu's disapproving look, a nameless fire suddenly rose in her heart, and she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, anyway, I think this matter is worth thinking about seriously, so you should think about it." β
After speaking, Ye Lan walked out directly.
Liu Linlin got up and chased out, Feng Lin glanced at Tian Lu, and said angrily: "Tian Lu, what's the matter with you?"
Frowning, Tian Lu didn't make a sound.
With a long sigh, Feng Lin shook his head and continued: "Sometimes I really have nothing to say to you, like this situation, you follow her words and say what's wrong? People are just an idea, even if you want to oppose it, at least you have to think about it seriously and then talk about it, right? Just criticize her idea for nothing, do you think it's appropriate?"
"It's been more than two years, and your relationship with her has been hanging like this, and people haven't complained about anything, but look at you, you don't talk about being lazy on weekdays, and you're always lukewarm to others, what do you think about it!"
As he spoke, Feng Lin couldn't help but feel angry, and his voice slowly rose up!
"Ye Lan is such a good girl, if you miss it, you really miss it! Think about it yourself!"
Finally, leaving a sentence, Feng Lin also got up and walked out, leaving only Tian Lu behind him, and a blank look gradually appeared on his faceγγγγγγ
