Feng Qingxue, having nothing to do, greeted her doctor and went to assist in a ward with patients.
The hospital was not crowded with people giving birth, unless their labor was complicated, so the obstetrics and gynecology department was fairly empty. However, there were many children with cold and fever in the pediatrics department, taken there by adults. Feng Qingxue assisted Dr. Zhao and learned a lot from the experience.
Town and city workers could get medical treatment for free at the hospital, but it was not necessarily the case for non-employees.
Even so, the fees for a worker's family member were still quite low.
After a busy half-day, things quieted down in the afternoon.
On Saturday afternoons, the doctors would finish their shifts early, going to work only an hour after lunch.
