Chapter 1109 The unbearable past

Yang Ping's wedding made the world's medical community excited for many days, and also made a romantic love fairy tale spread in the capital of Nandu. The numerous world medical leaders, Mannstein's song, beautiful fireworks and drone performances, and overwhelming congratulations at the wedding left a deep impression on everyone.

Now, the excitement has passed, and doctors and scholars from all over the world have returned to their home countries. They have returned to their posts with fruitful exchanges and started their own work.

Yang Ping also started to live a normal life. In fact, normal life is the life he and Xiao Su like. It is quiet and they can freely do what they like without anyone to disturb them. The real happiness is the days as plain as water, not the gorgeous fireworks.

The child is still young, so Xiao Su decided to take care of the child full-time for a period of time. She also used her spare time to exercise. Xiao Su has the habit of fitness, so she maintains a perfect figure.

Yang Ping used to like running, and he kept this habit. But now he also learns fitness from Xiao Su. No matter how busy he is, he will take time out for fitness. The body is the capital of revolution. Only with a good body can you do what you like better and enjoy life.

When I arrived at the department in the morning, I met Xiaowu who was coming back from the ophthalmology department. There was a special patient in the ophthalmology department who was undergoing emergency surgery. Xiaowu was asked to check and provide some technical guidance. Yang Ping asked, "What patient in the ophthalmology department would like us to consult?"

Normally, the ophthalmology department rarely consults the surgical institute, and we only see them a few times throughout the year. What kind of disease is this?

Xiaowu said: The patient was pierced in the eye by glass fibers, and needed to remove those "thin needles" that could not be seen by the naked eye under a microscope. The ophthalmologist admitted the patient to the hospital for emergency surgery. As a result, when he looked at the patient on the operating table, my goodness, there were dozens of "thin needles" of different lengths in the eyeball. These "thin needles" are difficult to see with the naked eye, because the diameter of a single glass fiber is equivalent to 1/20-1/5 of a hair. The ophthalmologist knew that our doctors were very skilled in operating under a microscope, so they asked us to send a doctor to help them remove those "thin needles" that could only be seen under a microscope. I happened to come early, and the hospitalized patient went to the emergency department and did not come back, so I had time to go and take a look.

There is another thing. Yang Ping is very familiar with fiberglass. He encounters it many times in daily life, such as umbrella handles, mosquito net poles, fishing rods, etc. I just don't know how this patient let so much fiberglass prick his eyes.

Although glass fiber is scary, it is better than asbestos. The same microstructure is similar to "thin needles" or "thin filaments". If the glass fiber is inhaled into the lungs, it can be dissolved by the human body after a few months if the number is not large. Asbestos can hide in the body for up to 15 years, especially when inhaled into the lungs, it will stay in the lungs for a long time, and will continue to irritate and damage lung tissue. This chronic damage may cause lung cell mutations and eventually develop into lung cancer. Therefore, it is a substance identified as a Class I carcinogen by the World Health Organization (WHO). Many countries around the world have now banned asbestos, and my country has also banned it, but this terrible thing is still used in a few places in rural my country.

Glass fiber is slightly better. E glass and "475" glass fiber are on the list of Class 2B carcinogens, and continuous glass fiber is on the list of Class 3 carcinogens, so compared to asbestos, its harm is relatively less severe.

"How is it, have you helped them deal with it?" Yang Ping asked. Xiao Wu said confidently: "It was a piece of cake. All the fine needles were pulled out, not a single one was left, and there was no residue. Now the whole hospital knows that any doctor in our institute has the ability to operate laparoscopy and microscopes better than doctors in other departments, so if there are difficult cases in this area, they will consult us. Last time, a female patient in the gynecology emergency department accidentally got several live loaches in her uterus while swimming in the wild, and she asked Zhang Lin to take them out. Zhang Lin grabbed them accurately and caught several."

In fact, surgery is something that is easier to learn when you are younger. The First Affiliated Hospital of Nandu and Sanbo Hospital now adopt the master-apprentice system. The hospital has clear regulations that if the surgical skills of the apprentice trained by the master within the prescribed period do not meet the standards, the master's surgical qualifications will be revoked directly, and the apprentice will be replaced by a new master. Only after the apprentice has learned and met the standards can the former master regain his surgical qualifications. This system eliminates the situation where masters are unwilling to impart technology.

There was a resident trainee who went with Zhang Lin for the consultation. He also showed off his skills on the operating table, feeling very accomplished. He also secretly talked about his highlight moment with other resident trainees. Everyone was envious and wanted to have a chance to show off their skills. After all, everyone had trained for a long time and had good skills.

Seeing that most of the interns had gathered, Zhang Lin took out a piece of paper for everyone to sign, because the first month's subsidy from the fund established by Wang Changxin to support medical students and interns would be in place soon. Everyone signed and verified their personal information and bank account numbers. If there were no problems, they would submit them. Soon they would receive the first subsidy. Although this subsidy was not much, only 6,000 yuan for the time being, it could solve the living problems of the interns. At least they would not have to worry about their lives.

Hearing these students talking about this topic, Yang Ping remembered that his life was not easy when he was studying for his master's degree and in residency. When he was a graduate student, his supervisor never guided him at all and treated him like a beast of burden. While doing heavy clinical work, he also had to help his supervisor with scientific research projects, write papers, compile monographs, and do postoperative follow-up. Anyway, his supervisor gave him everything to do and never cared whether he could bear it. He even had to pick up and drop off his supervisor's children, tutor them in homework, walk the dog, take the dog to see a doctor, etc. At that time, it was common for him to stay up until one or two in the morning, and pulling all-nighters every two or three years was commonplace. Thinking about it now, it is a miracle that he did not die suddenly and survived.

Once, he was so tired that his chest hurt. He was worried that he might die suddenly from heart problems due to overwork, so he took time out to do an electrocardiogram, which delayed giving his supervisor's dog a bath. His supervisor scolded him. He could only endure all this because he came from the countryside and had finally been admitted to graduate school. He tried not to cause trouble and make his parents worry.

Finally one day he exploded. He had stayed up all night for three days to help his supervisor revise the project proposal, but he still couldn't satisfy his supervisor. His supervisor threw the proposal in his face and scolded him. If it wasn't in front of the doctor, his supervisor would have slapped him. He couldn't bear it anymore and yelled at his supervisor: "Fuck you, I'm done. Whoever wants to do it can do it. You think you are so great, and you are just a complete idiot."

"Don't even think about graduating!" the instructor said viciously. That was the last semester for graduate students.

After cursing, he left in style, and then hid in the dormitory and cried. He knew that if he had a falling out with his tutor, his tutor would not let him graduate. There was a senior student who was like this before and did not graduate in the end. He picked up the phone and told his father everything about his experience, expressing his unwillingness to pursue a master's degree. After he finished speaking, he felt relieved. He waited for his father to scold him for being useless, but his father did not scold him. He just said calmly: "It's just a graduate student. If you don't want to study, then don't study. If you don't study, you will starve to death. At worst, you can come back and be a barefoot doctor. But we are right in this matter and cannot be bullied in vain. You have to talk to the principal. If you want to turn against him and stand up, we must have a way. We are not wrong, why should we not graduate? He is nothing. Can you solve this problem? If you can't solve it, your dad will come to talk to your principal. If the principal can't solve it, we will go to the principal's superiors. I don't believe that we can't find someone to solve the problem. Our Yang family doesn't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble, son! Stand up straight, even if the sky falls, your dad will be there, don't be afraid of anything."

That was the first time he felt his father was so domineering. With his father's words, Yang Ping immediately became much bolder. He was sure that he could bear the worst consequences of this matter. At worst, he would not graduate, which was no big deal. So he told his father, "I can handle it."

So he went to the principal to complain about this matter, and his attitude was firm. With the intervention of the principal, he not only graduated smoothly, but his supervisor also spoke to him more kindly and no longer gave him too many tasks. So until now, Yang Ping has not had much affection for his graduate supervisor. On the contrary, he felt that Director Han was his real mentor in medicine. Of course, he was also Yang Ping's doctoral supervisor.
