During my internship in the cardiology department, every morning I would go to the meeting room to listen to the doctors report on each patient's condition. Then, every day I would follow different groups of doctors into the operating room to learn about surgeries. The doctors were very patient in explaining the principles and various processes of the surgeries to me, and they also told me about various heart diseases and treatment methods in cardiology, which was very beneficial to me.
