Chapter 39: Los Angeles
"It's so comfortable in this weather!"
After a hard day's work, being able to sit down and drink a cup of coffee before the sun goes down and feel a moment of mild sunshine makes Tian Lu feel extremely happy in his heart. The intense study plan made him want to tighten a string all the time, so every day after half an hour of apprenticeship, he completely put everything behind and completely relaxed.
In Los Angeles in March, the temperature is between the teens and twenties, which is the favorite temperature of Tian Lu.
Lei Kang looked at Tian Lu with a look of great enjoyment, and shook his head helplessly: "I said, you are too leisurely, right? I am going to take the step2CS exam next week, are you really so sure?"
"No problem, senior brother, don't worry. β
Looking up at Lei Kang, Tian Lu said with a smile: "First of all, there is definitely no problem with speaking, I am now living in your house, you should know this, right? Second, the consultation should be fine, I have been here for two months, and the first month is mainly to follow the American doctor for a month of outpatient training, I think it should not be a big problem! As for the final part of medical knowledge, do you think there may be a problem?"
Lei Kang was speechless for Tian Lu's understated answer for a while, as if he had asked a stupid question.
Indeed, for the demonic little junior brother in front of him, this question is indeed very stupid!
When Tian Lu mentioned in the chat a few years ago that he was going to come to Los Angeles for an internship, Lei Kang was indeed taken aback. It's not that I'm surprised that Tian Lu is apprenticed, in fact, this is what he first suggested to Tian Lu. To Lei Kang's surprise, Tian Lu chose the UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center in Los Angeles!
This is the hospital where Lei Kang works now!
For Tian Lu, the little junior brother, Lei Kang was extremely impressed, although he had never met since the last time, he had always maintained close contact, so after learning the news, Lei Kang was also very excited, and Tian Lu invited him to live in his house before he came. Living together every day, and driving Tian Lu to work every day, two months later, Lei Kang's understanding of this little junior brother is getting deeper and deeper, and he is now absolutely sure that this little junior brother will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future!
Not to mention anything else, just talking about diligence, even if there was a period of darkness back then, but after seeing Tian Lu's hard work, Lei Kang still shook his head desperately, sighing to himself.
In the two months since he came to Los Angeles, no matter how kind Lei Kang invited, Tian Lu never went out except for a visit to the most famous Hollywood sign with him. Every day is a straight line between the hospital and the home, I don't watch TV or anything, and I stay in the house all day to read books.
It's a joke for such a person to not pass the exam!
"Hey, Tian, is this a friend from your homeland?"
When Lei Kang was thinking about it, a beautiful female voice suddenly sounded beside him, and he quickly came back to his senses and looked up, and his heart suddenly beat wildly!
Two bright blondes stood at the table of the two, and asked Tian Lu with a smile.
The two white girls are both in their twenties, tall and curvy, and the most commendable thing is that the skin of both girls is quite delicate, and there is no roughness of ordinary Caucasian people at all.
"Two beautiful ladies, although I am also from Tian's motherland, but now I am a nephrologist in this hospital, I am very happy to meet them!" Without waiting for Tian Lu to answer, he pointed to the hospital building not far behind him, Lei Kang quickly stood up and smiled.
Quite surprised glanced at Lei Kang, and after getting Tian Lu's nod to confirm, the two girls smiled generously and said, "I'm sorry, we haven't seen you, so we didn't recognize you." β
Of course, Lei Kang even said that it didn't matter, and he warmly invited the two girls to sit down together, behaving like a polite gentleman.
Only Tian Lu secretly shook his head in his heart: Senior Brother Lei's pervert nature raised his head again in an instant.
The girls politely declined Lei Kang's invitation, but turned to Tian Lu and said, "Tian, we have a party this weekend, can you come?"
The bright smile and expectant gaze suddenly made Lei Kang's heart beat wildly, and his throat couldn't help but feel dry, and he couldn't wait to open his mouth and say the last sentence immediately: "Go!
Ignoring Lei Kang's slightly pleading gaze, Tian Lu hesitated slightly, and an apologetic expression appeared on his face: "I'm sorry, two, I've already made arrangements for the weekend, so I'm afraid there's really no way to participate, so, I wish you all a pleasant ride!"
Lei Kang's heart was suddenly in a hurry!
He has been in the United States for many years, he knows that Americans are party creatures, and looking at the quality of the two people in front of him, there must be a lot of beauties at the party, but he wants to meet a few beautiful girls, so he immediately coughed, and persuaded seriously: "Tian Lu, no matter how busy you are with your studies, you still need to relax when necessary! If you are afraid that you will not find a place, I will accompany you to go with you then." β
Lei Kang's careful thinking was suddenly obvious in Tian Lu's eyes.
Immediately shook his head, Tian Lu said angrily: "Senior brother, forgot that I am going to take the step2CS exam next week?
As soon as Tian Lu said this, Lei Kang opened his mouth and stammered, and at the same time, he suddenly hated in his heart!
"This kid, it's so bad!"
He had just sworn that there would be no problem, but now he looked extremely worried, as if the weekend time was extremely important for him to prepare for the exam!
As soon as they heard that Tian Lu was going to prepare for the step2CS exam, the two beauties were immediately disappointed, but as peers, of course they understood the importance of the exam, so they smiled and encouraged a few words, and then said goodbye and left. However, after leaving a few steps, a blonde beauty suddenly turned around, blinked her eyes and said, "Tian, I have to say, you are very handsome this morning as usual!"
After saying that, the two beauties walked away with a smile all the way.
Reluctantly watched the two beauties swaying away, Lei turned his head violently, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, it seemed that he wanted to pounce on Tian Lu, and asked viciously: "What's wrong with your kid? The invitation of the beautiful woman is also refused? Even if you are not interested in such a high-quality resource, you must consider senior brother and me!"
Tian Lu suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. Before coming to Los Angeles, Tian Lu never imagined that the mature and steady senior brother Lei Kang in his impression was actually a typical playboy in reality! Every weekend, he would bring a different woman home for the night, which made Tian Lu feel very incredible.
Tian Lu shook his left hand with a smile and didn't say much.
Lei Kang noticed Tian Lu's movements, and suddenly collapsed on the chair like a deflated ball, and sighed weakly: "I really don't understand, you're just in your early twenties, aren't you? Why are you engaged so early? And you wear rings everywhere, for fear that people don't know!"
Tian Lu smiled and didn't speak, but anyone who saw the expression on his face knew that he must be very happy and sweet in his heart at this time.
Seeing Tian Lu's expression, Lei Kang's heart suddenly felt a chill, and he quickly changed the topic and said, "What are these two beauties doing?
"Both of them are seniors in the College of Medicine, and we were both in general surgery during this time, so we knew each other. As for thinking I'm handsomeγγγγγγ β
Tian Lu thought for a moment, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe it's because I refuted Professor Carter at a preoperative case analysis meeting in the morning." β
"You've offended even Professor Carter?"
Lei Kang's eyes widened, his mouth widened, and he couldn't help but lament: "Do your own calculations, have you offended several doctors in the two months you have been here?" And this time you are also the director of the Department of General Surgery, Professor Carter, you don't want his letter of recommendation?"
Tian Lu smiled dumbly: "Senior brother, how can this be regarded as an offense? Just like the patient this morning, I just reminded him that in the latest surgical journal published last month, there are German studies that show that it is more reasonable to first treat conservatively and then observe the indications for surgery, is it not offended? Besides, Professor Carter did cancel the operation after seeing that journal!"
The conditions of hospitals in the United States are really good, and the leading professional journals in the world are basically subscribed and placed in the conference room for everyone to consult, and Tian Lu in order to avoid too advanced research from the mouth, so he has paid great attention to the reading of journals since his college days to understand the latest research progress in each specialty. Anyway, for Tian Lu, who has translation and input functions, it only takes an hour to finish reading a journal.
In response to Tian Lu Yizheng's rebuttal, Lei Kang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he shook his head helplessly, and said weakly: "I hope so, don't be like the Indian last time, give you small shoes to wear afterwards." β
The Indians that Lei Kang mentioned were not long after Tian Lu arrived at general surgery for internship.
Every morning at 7:30 a.m., the Department of General Surgery is a half-hour teaching time, and the attending physician is responsible for lecturing the residents or interns. The lecture that day was given by an Indian who was talking about pancreatic cancer. Because he is a trainee and has not yet obtained the qualification for residency training, Tian Lu only has the right to listen and watch for five months, and cannot do anything, so he pays special attention to learning clinical experience. When hearing about the pathophysiology, Tian Lu discovered a mistake in the main treatment. Of course, Tian Lu's first reaction was not to bring it up, but to check whether this mistake was a future research result or an existing knowledge point, and saved the foreign appearance.
After confirming that it was the knowledge that was already known, Tian Lu raised his hand after the lecture and raised the mistake.
The Indian doctor was obviously very confident in himself, and casually dismissed Tian Lu's statement, and after Tian Lu persevered in explaining the source and reason of the problem, the attending physician suddenly went crazy inexplicably!
Maybe it was because he was in a bad mood that day, or maybe he lost face by a midshipman's refutation, the Indian chief did not refute the content of the lecture, but questioned Tian Lu's qualifications, in a word, a trainee from China, who has not even graduated from university, is not qualified to question an attending physician who has undergone five years of residency training!
This irresponsible rhetoric immediately aroused the disgust of the students and residents, and after Professor Carter arrived to figure out what had happened, he naturally reprimanded the attending physician severely.
At this moment, Tian Lu can be regarded as having a grudge against the Indian ruler. Although he is a trainee, that person can't do anything with Tian Lu, but the usual cynicism and deliberately sending Tian Lu to do some trivial things are inevitable.
After complaining for a while, seeing that Tian Lu looked disapproving, Lei Kang had no choice but to give up persuasion and drive Tian Lu back home. Like the kind of houses that often appear in American dramas and movies, Lei Kang's home is a small two-story building in the suburbs, with a green space in front of the building, a garage for two cars, and a total of four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom.
Tian Lu lives on the second floor, the room is not big, about 20 square meters, the decoration is very simple, the things in the house are a wardrobe, a bookcase and a bed. The bed is naturally very simple, and there are only two or three sets of suits in the wardrobe, which Tian Lu specially purchased for the apprenticeship, but the bookcase is full of professional books that Tian Lu borrowed from the hospital or Lei Kang.
After explaining that Tian Lu got down to eat takeout at seven o'clock, Lei Kang went back to the house, and Tian Lu took out a book of neuropathology from the bookcase, flipped to the position of the bookmark, and lay on the bed to read it.
