"It hasn't started yet!"
Dr. Zou and Tang Li answered in unison.
The attending physician usually rounds after 7:40 am. However, it is not fixed and can be arranged flexibly according to the personal schedule of the attending physician.
In principle, rounds should be done once every morning.
Because at night, only the on-call doctors handle issues.
On one hand, there is a shortage of personnel, and on the other hand, on-call doctors often have lower ranks, lacking experience and proficiency.
This may lead to situations where some patients' emergencies are not managed properly.
During the morning rounds, the attending physician can check for any omissions and prevent the risk from escalating.
"Alright, then you should quickly do the rounds. The first surgery starts promptly at 8:30 am. We might go through without a break and finish both surgeries scheduled for today. At 4 pm, I need to take three graduate students for a scientific experiment, then you will be in charge."
