By the corridor, Niide Tomoaki stopped walking, turned his head to look behind him, and dialed Zhi Ming Fukuyama's phone.
"Uncle Fukuyama, it's me."
"Oh, it's you. Has Mr. Chi arrived?" Zhi Ming Fukuyama also spoke in the same gentle tone, "How is it going getting along with him?"
"He has arrived," Niide Tomoaki hesitated, "As for getting along... he doesn't seem to like chatting with me much."
"Oh?" Zhi Ming Fukuyama sounded a bit surprised, "Did he seem very averse?"
"No..." Niide Tomoaki recalled for a moment, "I can't tell what his attitude towards me is, he seems to always be like that, but I suggested going to the Pet Hospital with him later, and he agreed..."
"Then that's alright, it's due to his personality. If he really rejected you, he wouldn't want to have too much contact with you and would directly find a reason to refuse you," Zhi Ming Fukuyama said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, you are not a Psychologist, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Niide Tomoaki breathed a sigh of relief. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous. He felt that taking care of Patient was a Doctor's responsibility.
Moreover, the Chairman of Shinchi Group took good care of his Father in his early years. Now that the Chairman's Child has come to his Home, and is also a Patient of his Father's old classmate, then it's necessary to help.
If it were a Physical Illness, he, as a Doctor in that field, would still know what to do, but with Mental Illness, he really felt a bit at a loss.
"Then... are there any places that need special attention?"
"Just do as I said, build a closer Relationship, try to be Friend with him, but don't deliberately try to probe his thoughts. He has a strong Vigilance towards others. You just need to urge him to take Medicine on time, guide him to do some Exercise, Leisure Activities, and the like, and have some contact with people. That will be very good for him," Zhi Ming Fukuyama paused for a moment, "Oh right, if you see a Child named Conan looking for Mr. Chi, please pay attention to that Child's State for me."
"Child?" Niide Tomoaki was a bit puzzled, but still agreed, "Okay, if there's an Opportunity, I will pay attention."
"I'm really sorry to trouble you and make you worry..." Zhi Ming Fukuyama said apologetically.
"It's okay, we are Entrusted Guardian. It's our duty to communicate and Communicate with the Attending Doctor in a timely manner if there are any Problems." Niide Tomoaki said.
"Good, if Mr. Chi has any Abnormality, you can contact me at any time." Zhi Ming Fukuyama was very satisfied.
He felt that the previous Entrusted Guardians of Chi Feichei were all unreliable, even his Father was unreliable, with no Cooperation at all. It's still better to entrust it to an old classmate, who is proactive in Communication.
He really made the right choice this time!
...
After Lunch, Chi Feichei took Niide Tomoaki to see the Pet Hospital.
Shinchi Pet Hospital had not closed down, it just needed Time to update Equipment and renovate, and was temporarily stopping accepting new Pets.
A Notice Board was hung outside the Hospital. There weren't many people going in and out, making it seem somewhat deserted.
Chi Feichei first went to change into a White Coat, his Mood was a bit subtle.
He estimated that during this period, he would either be looking at White Coats, or on the way to look at White Coats, or wearing a White Coat himself...
When Niide Tomoaki came out, he hadn't changed Clothes and was still wearing a White Coat. He followed Chi Feichei on the tour, "There's even a Waiting Room dedicated to Cats..."
"Animals are very sensitive to their surrounding Environment, especially Cats. Even with their Master accompanying them, Cats will feel uncomfortable in unfamiliar Environments or Environments with other Cats and Dogs. A separate Waiting Room is to prevent Cats from being frightened by other Animals and developing a Stress Response."
Since he had agreed to take Niide Tomoaki on a tour, Chi Feichei dutifully gave introductions.
"Also considering the Environment, the Lights in the Corridor and Waiting Room are not too dazzling, and the Decoration also tries to avoid Metal Products as much as possible, using Wood instead."
"The First Floor is mainly the Lounge, Consultation Area, Waiting Room, and Pharmacy, to avoid the Scent of Disinfectant being too strong and making Animals feel Anxiety."
"The Second Floor is the Boarding Area and the area for simple treatments..."
"The Third Floor is the Doctor's Office and Rest Area..."
"The Fourth Floor is the Lab Area and Procedure Room..."
"The Fifth Floor is the Inpatient Area and Infusion Area, for admitting Animals with serious Illnesses..."
"The Sixth Floor, Operating Room, Sterilization Room, and Post-operative Observation Room..."
Chi Feichei took Niide Tomoaki from the First Floor to the Sixth Floor, toured most of the Places, and then returned to the Office on the Third Floor.
"Hmm... compared to a human Hospital, it seems to focus more on space. There are many separated Rooms, and each Room is not too big, but overall, it's much bigger than I imagined," Niide Tomoaki said, his expression still somewhat strange after sitting down, "Do you also help with Paternity Tests?"
ECG Machine and Glucometer aside, he also saw a Room in the Lab Area on the Fourth Floor that looked very much like a Laboratory. The Equipment inside, even general Human Hospitals would have difficulty seeing, and among them was Equipment for DNA Tests.
"If the Pet Owner has a need."
Chi Feichei poured a cup of Water for Niide Tomoaki.
Those Equipment were what he proposed to set up, for the convenience of his own Research.
For example, last time he did a Blood Test for Feimo, if there was this Equipment, then there would be no need to trouble Haibara Ai.
"Thank you," Niide Tomoaki took the Water cup, "I heard before that you are still short of many Veterinarians?"
"The shortage is very large," Chi Feichei didn't hide it, poured himself a cup of Water as well, and sat down beside him, "Animals don't understand Cooperation as much as people do, so the Medical Staff needed is much more. And Doctors can easily be scratched or bitten by Animals if they are not careful. Graduates are more willing to go to Places like Breeding Farms to do Disease Control work."
"Will you consider raising the Salary?" Niide Tomoaki asked.
"It's already been raised," Chi Feichei said, "But I estimate we still won't be able to recruit enough people in the short term."
"No matter what kind of Doctor, it's not easy." Niide Tomoaki sighed.
Chi Feichei nodded. Otherwise, how could there be the saying 'advise people to study Medicine, and heaven will strike you with lightning'?
Besides the huge amount of Things to memorize and learn, even after Graduation, it's not necessarily comfortable.
He and Niide Tomoaki were still alright, considered as two guys who had opened a cheat.
He had his Home's Condition. Although he was still an Intern Doctor and couldn't formally diagnose or perform Surgery yet, he had his own Office, could arrange his own Time, and could enter and exit the Operating Room to Record.
And Niide Tomoaki helping at Home was also a way to get through the Internship period. With his Father by his side, whether it was the degree of comfort or the Things he learned, it was all stronger than a general Graduate. When he went to Aomori Hospital, with the Internship experience from Niide Hospital, he could become a formal Doctor.
"By the way," Niide Tomoaki asked, "Since there isn't enough manpower, do you feel very tired working here?"
"No," Chi Feichei said, "If there's Surgery, I just follow along to Record the Things I need, and occasionally go to the Consultation Area to take a look."
"What about the matters at Shinchi Group?" Niide Tomoaki asked again.
"Nothing to do with me," Chi Feichei observed Niide Tomoaki, looking at Niide Tomoaki's focus, it seemed he really was treating him a bit like a Patient, "I'm just an Advisor, I just need to give a suggestion if there's something or nothing."
Niide Tomoaki was stared at by Chi Feichei, and felt a bit sweaty in his heart. He turned his head and saw the Bookcase on the side, "You really have a lot of Books here..."
Chi Feichei also turned his head to glance at it, "Brought over from Home, it's more convenient to read Books."
"There are really many kinds," Niide Tomoaki leaned over to take a look. He also saw Books on Psychology and Detective Novels, and even Mechanics, Potted Plants, Cookbooks, and so on, "Hmm? Are you also interested in Human Clinical Medicine and Anatomy?"
"I want to understand the Musculoskeletal System a bit." Chi Feichei said.
"If it's just to understand a bit, I might be able to help," Niide Tomoaki thought for a moment, feeling that Chi Feichei was actually not that difficult to get along with. At least they had medical topics to talk about. He turned his head and smiled, "Do you want to go to the School to borrow Teaching Aids? Later when we are at Home, we can exchange ideas a bit. It might not be easy for you to borrow an Anatomical Model, but I just Graduated not long ago and still know the Teacher who manages the Models..."
Chi Feichei also became interested. Having someone explain it would definitely be better than studying Books by himself. He stood up and said, "No need to borrow, let's buy one."
