Chapter 14 — Return to Xiangnan Military Region

Chu Tri Luat did not come to bother, but still sent people to regularly bring milk and fruits. The items were piled up in the room, so she immediately shared them with her colleagues at the medical station. The two little nurses expressed their utmost admiration: "Captain Chu really pampers his lover, much better than Captain Tong!" "That's right, I see that it was fate that Dr. Mai saved the chief." On the day of the exam, Mai Tu Khanh woke up very early. Because this skills competition also includes the participation of the military region's medical station, the leadership decided to hold it at the training ground. On the field, a temporary competition stage was set up, with a prominent red banner with white letters hanging: "The 5th Xiangnan Military Region Medical Skills Competition." The grandstand area was filled with soldiers from all units, and in the front row was a jury consisting of hospital leaders, discussing scoring criteria in low voices. In addition to a few doctors, there were also nurses selected for the exam — including Tu San. Coincidentally, Mai Tu Khanh and Tu San won the same exam question. Two soldiers carrying a stretcher ran up to the stage. The "wounded soldier" held his right leg and groaned: "I slipped down the mountainside, I couldn't move my leg..." Tu San immediately put on gloves and squatted down to check. While pressing on the swollen knee, she gently asked: "Does this hurt?" Seeing the soldiers nodding, she immediately used a brace to stabilize the knee: "The initial diagnosis is a dislocated knee, it needs to be taken to the emergency room immediately!" There was applause below, the leader nodded with satisfaction. But Mai Tu Khanh frowned. She suddenly knelt on the other side of the stretcher, her hand lightly brushing over the faint scar on the soldier's lower leg: "Comrade, half a year ago there was a broken bone here, right?" The soldier was stunned: "How do you know? At that time, he fell while training, but now it's healed..." "The old wound had not healed completely, but the periosteum was weak. This time he fell, reflexively using his right leg to support it, causing the old bone to crack again. The real pain comes from here." Having finished speaking, she took off the splint. Tu San just fixed and lifted the soldier's ankle in a commotion: "Please bend your knee slowly. That's right, does this hurt?" The soldier widened his eyes: "Whoa! Just now it only hurt the knee, now the ankle hurts more!" Tu San turned pale and shouted: "Why are you removing my bandage? If it causes a delay, are you responsible?" But Mai Tu Khanh quickly fixed the splint on the ankle, then turned to the leader on stage: "The knee is swollen." is an inflammatory reaction due to an old injury, while the real injury is a fracture of the ankle bone. If you intentionally adjust the knee joint, it will cause secondary damage." A completely different answer caused the old director to immediately step onto the stage to check. A moment later, he took off his gloves and nodded in approval: "Accurate diagnosis! Comrade Mai even discovered the patient's old wound!" The whole school exclaimed in admiration when... Tong Dinh Nien suddenly stood up. "No way! I have proof, Mai Tu Khanh cheated!" Immediately, the faces of the leaders on stage darkened. Chu An Quoc slammed the tea cup on the table and said sternly: "Tong Dinh Nien, the leaders have been watching from the beginning until now. Where did Dr. Mai cheat? If you have evidence, present it! Don't spit blood on people!" Cheating is a serious ethical issue in the military. Under the pressure of the leader, Tong Dinh Nien's back broke out in cold sweat. But thinking about Mai Tu Khanh staying in the military region and marrying Chu Tri Luat will definitely cause trouble for him... He gritted his teeth: "Chief Chu, I know she once saved you, so you will defend her." "But Mai Tu Khanh is from my hometown, only has a second-level diploma. How can she pass the military medical exam and then enter the Tuong Nam military region? There must be some wrongdoing!" Having said that, he glanced at Tu San. Understanding the meaning of the reminder, Tu San immediately pretended to be unjust and whispered to the soldiers: "Comrade, you are still in the military region, you must have gone to the medical station to see Dr. Mai, right? So?

Doctor Mai knew in advance about your old injury..." Those seemingly gentle words unintentionally sowed doubts about Mai Tu Khanh's prior knowledge of the patient's information. At this time, the unknown soldiers began to whisper... Faced with the same slander as before, this time Mai Tu Khanh could no longer bear it: "I did not cheat. I became a military doctor purely by my own ability. If the leaders have doubts, they can check at any time." Even with that said, the faces of the leaders were not much better. Especially Chu An Quoc's face - his face was extremely unsightly. Even if there was an investigation, it would still take time. In the meantime, if Mai Tu Khanh's matter became noisy, it would be very difficult to handle. Tong Dinh Nien thought that she was still stubbornly trying to resist, so he added fuel to the fire: "Moreover, Mai Tu Khanh came here with her body." temporary military medical department. Shouldn't you be officially admitted if you're accepted? Why is it temporary?" At this time, the old dean who was still standing on the stage suddenly spoke up and asked Mai Tu Khanh: "Doctor Mai, when you finish your exams, surely there will be more than one military region that will invite you to work as a military doctor? Who wrote the letter of recommendation for you?" Mai Tu Khanh calmly replied: "I was the valedictorian of the military medical exam that year. In addition to Tuong Nam, Hoa Bac and Giang Hu were also invited. The person who wrote the letter of introduction to me was the main examiner — Deputy Director of the North China Military Region Hospital, Ms. Trieu Nhu Binh.
