I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

Page 377

At the end of March, he successfully graduated from the University of Tokyo.

"I've graduated..."

Looking around, I saw that most people were immersed in the graduation atmosphere.

Graduation means stepping onto another stage.

Six years in the medical school have opened the door to the medical field.

The shadow of the white tower was faintly visible, but Aki Tomoya still had a long way to go before he could get there.

"In another month, I'll be going to become a medical resident. Sigh!"

As Aki Tomoya spoke, he sighed.

After being a student, one must become a member of society.

As a doctor in a white coat, Aki Tomoya felt a strong sense of responsibility.

But we need to finish the medical training first.

"You only realize how good it was to be a student when you start working."

The father, who had been through it all, patted Aki Tomoya on the shoulder.

When I was in school, I thought the outside world was better.

Once they're outside the school, they start to miss their school days.

Student days are definitely one of the best times in a person's life.

I decided to get into the University of Tokyo when I was in my second year of high school, and now I have successfully graduated from the University of Tokyo, achieving one stage of my goal.

"What's so great about studying? Graduate school is so tough, sigh..."

Kudo Sayaka sighed upon hearing this.

Although she was also a popular fiction writer, her graduate school courses were anything but easy, and she was almost losing her hair.

"Stop trying to pull this on."

Aki Tomoya smiled and reached out to pat her head.

No matter how tough graduate school is, at least you're still on campus.

His time studying medicine probably wasn't much better than his clinical internship.

However, at least unlike other medical trainees, they don't have to be hospitalized and rotate through various departments, so this is somewhat convenient.

Being able to join the Department of Cardiac Surgery directly from the beginning saved a lot of valuable time.

Furthermore, as Professor Yano said, there are many of his own people there who graduated from the University of Tokyo.

At that moment, Majima walked over again and asked him, "Our next meeting won't be at the hospital, will it?"

The graduation ceremony has ended, but most people are still lingering on campus, wanting to create some precious memories.

After graduating from their medical school, the application process for medical training is completed, and they are required to go to the hospital within a month.

If we hadn't been in contact before that, we probably wouldn't have met again until we arrived at the hospital.

"Don't run away! Before I enter the sea of ​​suffering, you have to make it up to me!"

Takagi suddenly jumped up from behind Majima and hugged Majima's neck from behind.

Only Takagi would describe the place he's going to as a sea of ​​suffering.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. This guy didn't like the atmosphere of the university hospital, and he would have to "fight alongside" Suzutani afterward. For him, it was truly a sea of ​​suffering.

Takagi still has to pay a price for her dream of becoming a neurosurgeon.

"Shall we prepare a farewell feast for you?"

Aki Tomoya asked tentatively.

Seeing Takagi about to head to the sea of ​​suffering, Aki Tomoya could only express his sympathy; he had no way to save him from this predicament.

"Do you really think I'm going there to die?!"

Takagi grinned.

"Was that a farewell party?"

Majima, who was standing to the side, changed his wording.

If this isn't a farewell drink, then let's just call it a parting drink.

However, if the group were to break up, it would be Takagi who leaves the team, while Aki Tomoya and Majima will continue to team up.

So, they might as well find a day to send Takagi away in a pleasant manner.

"Don't say that. I'm still waiting for you at the university hospital. By the way, can you tell me now which hospital you're going to?"

After being pulled away by Majima, Kudo Sayaka considerately accompanied Aki Tomoya's parents to walk around the area, leaving them and their friends there to chat.

At this point, Takagi asked them again which hospital they were going to work as trainees.

Since everyone has already decided where to go, there's no need to keep it a secret anymore, right?

"Kanto General Hospital is located in Taitung Ward."

Aki Tomoya also mentioned the name of the hospital.

The place is in Taitung District, right next to Wenjing District, not too far.

It's a large hospital with excellent benefits, and most importantly, the head of cardiac surgery there is a former chief professor affiliated with the University of Tokyo.

"It's quite close. I thought you guys would have to go much farther, but it's not that far at all!"

Takagi heard that the place was in Taitung Ward, and it seemed that everyone was not too far apart.

After university, everyone goes their separate ways, and even the best of friends will eventually drift apart due to a lack of contact.

The University of Tokyo Affiliated Hospital is located in Bunkyo Ward, right next to the university, while the Kanto General Hospital that Aki Tomoya and Mashima are going to is in Taito Ward, which is not far away either.

Thinking about it this way, they're not that far apart, so they can keep in touch often in the future.

"You want to come see us? Don't forget, you have to finish your hospital rotations first before you'll have time."

Even though their workplaces aren't far apart, it wouldn't be easy for Takagi to visit them when he has free time.

The initial training period is equivalent to that of a resident physician in China, where patients still need to rotate through different departments before formally choosing a department and becoming a specialist physician.

Takagi, who is going to the university hospital, naturally needs to follow the rules and get through the initial stages.

However, Aki Tomoya, Mashima, and Takagi were different. They enjoyed some conveniences. Although they were still officially resident trainees, they joined the Department of Cardiac Surgery faster and more directly than other trainees.

Of course, neither Aki Tomoya nor Majima would reveal this, to avoid it getting out.

Whatever benefits it brings, it's best to keep it to ourselves; there's no need to publicize it.

There's no need to tell Takagi about this, lest he feel resentful.

Furthermore, Aki Tomoya and Mashima also hoped that he would behave properly at the university hospital.

If he offended a professor or something, his medical career in Tokyo would be affected.

Of course, if Takagi returns to Kansai and accepts his father's arrangements, these issues will no longer be a problem.

However, Takagi was stubborn and refused to go back. He wanted to make a name for himself in Tokyo or the Kanto region before returning to his hometown to inherit the family hospital.

"Let's not talk about that. Let's talk about something else. How about we celebrate, have a graduation party or something?"

"To Ginza?"

Upon hearing this, Aki Tomoya subconsciously asked.

"good idea!"

Takagi snapped his fingers excitedly, just as Aki Tomoya had said exactly what he wanted to hear.

"Let's go to Ginza then."

Takagi has been talking about Ginza for years, and now that he's graduated, he'll go for a visit.

Chapter 421 Medical training

The application for medical training came through in April, and Aki Tomoya is scheduled to report to the hospital at the end of the month.

Professor Yano also informed him that everything was arranged and told him to keep up the good work.

Because he is nominally still a resident medical trainee, Aki Tomoya spends most of his time at the hospital.

In the early stages of medical training, similar to resident physicians in China, patients cannot leave the hospital 24 hours a day.

However, since it is a private hospital, the management is relatively more relaxed, and since it is Professor Yano's arrangement, there is no need to actually rotate through different departments, which is more convenient for the cardiac surgery department.

Upon learning that Aki Tomo was also going to the hospital, Kudo Sayaka was quite unwilling, as it meant separating him from her.

However, that's how rules and regulations are. Even though Aki Tomoya has already gained a lot of convenience, it's still best to follow the rules in some matters.

Even if you're so reluctant to let me go, there's nothing I can do. I still hope you can come and see me when you have time.

Aki Tomoya looked at Kudo Sayaka's reluctant expression and felt quite helpless.

Being a doctor is not easy, especially at the beginning, during medical training. You can't leave the hospital 24 hours a day and you have to be available to the ward at any time.
