top student at medical school

It's certainly hard to let go of the parts of the disease I've locked into that I'm specializing in, but the sense of pride and accomplishment comes from doing it myself.

How brutal that was!
In other words, that is it.

"Why should such a simple malignant bone tumor, a garbage disease, be allowed into my department? I can't be bothered with it!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye chuckled and said, "Professor Du, congratulations!"

"This is a very happy occasion."

"Congratulations, Professor Fang!" Du Yingshan emphasized the words "Professor Fang" not to mock Fang Ziye, but to reiterate solemnly:
"Professor Fang, our generation can be said to have fulfilled part of the mission of our time."

"The treatment of bone tumors has reached a plateau and bottleneck since the 1980s, which was a few years after I was born."

"However, in our hands, it has undergone a major transformation in terms of treatment methods and effects."

"Professor Fang, please don't laugh at me. Although my contribution to this research is quite limited, I have witnessed this reform and change firsthand, which makes my life worthwhile and all these years in this field worthwhile!"

"Even if I achieve nothing in the future, I can still say that I have lived a life without regrets." Du Yingshan was probably in his office, his voice slightly hoarse, with a self-satisfied 'intoxication'!
"Teacher Du, look at what you're saying, how could I possibly laugh at you?"

“We did the project together.” Fang Ziye didn’t make empty promises or platitudes about his own contribution.

The increase in efficacy of minimally invasive treatment for this disease is absolutely positively correlated with itself, but Fang Ziye would not consider Du Yingshan and others insignificant.

"However, I may not have the chance to witness such an exciting scene, as I have some things to take care of recently."

"Professor Du, you are the absolute backbone of our hospital's orthopedics department, and Professor Hu Pingdong is the soul and core of our hospital's orthopedics department. It is the most important thing for you two to pay your respects."

Having secured the greatest benefits, Fang Ziye no longer insisted on maximizing every advantage in the minor details.

Putting everything else aside, the progress award that came with this project was his own, while the medals awarded by the state would only be given to him, not to Du Yingshan.

Of course, there's no academician conference this year, so we'll have to wait until next year to collect it; it's just that there's been inside information coming in...

"Okay, Professor Fang, you still have many important things to do."

"Moreover, Professor Fang, you deserve the most credit for our bone tumor group becoming a bone tumor academic branch!" Du Yingshan brought back the sentiments of many professors from the newly established bone tumor branch.

"Professor Du, although our orthopedics department is divided into subgroups, we have never separated. As for the so-called 'first merit' or 'second merit', it is all a matter within our orthopedics department."

"There is something I hope Professor Du will take note of."

"In other words, after a very long period of thought, I still feel that our understanding of orthopedic anatomical structures may be too limited."

"I believe that the muscles in our orthopedics department may also be a type of exocrine or endocrine organ, which secretes something that enters the bloodstream throughout the body."

“This secretion should be present in higher concentrations in soft tissue tumors, so I hope Professor Du can help with your future research…” Fang Ziye said, halfway through his sentence.

Interrupted by Du Yingshan's stern voice: "Professor Fang, Fang Ziye, you shouldn't have told me about this kind of topic!!"

"I'm not!"

Du Yingshan originally wanted to say that he wasn't a dumping ground for trash, but that didn't seem appropriate.

Was the research topic Fang Ziye gave him rubbish?
This is a crucial topic that others would beg for on their knees but could never obtain!
If it were confirmed that some muscles in orthopedics are secretory organs, what would that mean?
This will overturn basic medical understanding of muscles, requiring the creation of a new discipline to redefine and deconstruct muscle function!

Many subsequent orthopedic surgeries will be optimized and reorganized based on this fundamental theory.

“Teacher Du!” Fang Ziye took a deep breath before replying.

"Please don't be angry if I say something."

"I am Fang Ziye, an orthopedic surgeon at Zhongnan Hospital. Right? I am from our orthopedic department."

"I really can't handle this!"

"So actually, it's Professor Du who's helping me!! I've had this thought for a long time!!"

Fang Ziye's somewhat audacious words silenced Du Yingshan.

If Fang Ziye didn't have his previous record, Du Yingshan would have criticized him so harshly that even Fang Ziye's own mother wouldn't recognize him.

However, Fang Ziye's achievements are verifiable. Du Yingshan also worked with Fang Ziye on clinical research projects. How fast did Fang Ziye's projects progress? How wide were their scopes?
Many things had already appeared, but Fang Ziye still managed to exploit the loopholes.

"Ah, Fang Ziye, Fang Ziye!~"

I don't know what to say to you.

"Your appearance is a blessing for orthopedics, but a misfortune for others in the orthopedics profession!!"

"To be born in the same generation as you is the worst luck imaginable." Du Yingshan used the harshest words to give Fang Ziye the highest praise.

"Thank you for the compliment, Teacher Du."

Fang Ziye said, "Professor Du, I needed to accumulate experience in the past, so there were some things I had to fight for, because I needed to establish myself so that I could do more."

"It's not that I'm narrow-minded, but I know there are some things I must be able to say out loud."

"To say these words requires confidence, accumulation, prior resource preparation, certain human support, and a certain amount of ward resources as a foundation."

"Otherwise, it's just a powerless cry, talking to yourself."

"Professor Du, I hope you won't be angry. I may not have been mature enough in my work style last year, but I've always known that. That's why I'm explaining to you now that I had to argue with you about the necessity of the trauma surgery ward back then."

"I need it. I need it as one of the foundations and backgrounds to speak, to talk to you, to talk to patients, to talk to the world, and to talk to the disease!"

Du Yingshan felt like punching someone because Fang Ziye was such a damn good talker.

But upon closer reflection, it seems that Fang Ziye wasn't just bragging.

After returning to Zhongnan Hospital, Fang Ziye remained quiet for two or three months without making any major moves. Then, he immediately launched a surgical treatment for spinal cord injury-related paralysis.

Now, he casually gave me a super basic big topic idea. Such generosity is something that only someone with absolute strength and qualifications would be willing to give!
"Ugh……"

Du Yingshan sighed and spoke his true thoughts, setting aside his dignity as the "head" of the orthopedics department: "Ziye, whether you want to hold the orthopedics department hostage or want to shit on our heads, it doesn't matter."

"Or rather, you want our orthopedics department to be unable to hold our heads high in front of your trauma surgery department in the future, and to be forever limited by you."

"But I still want to do what you told me about. First, I can't bear to part with it; second, it's important enough; and third, I want to do it myself."

Fang Ziye understood what Du Yingshan meant after hearing this.

Subspecialties within orthopedics publicly claim to be related.

However, there can only be one eldest brother. If he is not the head of trauma surgery or orthopedics, he must be someone from another subspecialty.

This subtle competition can affect the allocation of resources.

But Fang Ziye smiled and said, "Professor Du, do you really think I'm trying to put the orthopedics department down?" "Am I trying to use a carrot-and-stick approach?"

"Not really."

"I'm just trying to think about things from my teacher's perspective."

“I can’t handle his level of administration, but I feel I have the experience to think about things related to the development of orthopedics, so I did it.”

"Actually, this is not my job; it is something that my teacher, Professor Deng Yong, should consider."

"Another point!~"

"No matter who takes the lead, as long as the pie is big enough and the development is healthy enough, we can definitely get along harmoniously, at least in our generation!"

"That's just my personal understanding."

"Professor Du, I have surgery later, so I won't chat any longer."

"I can't attend the handover ceremony for the minimally invasive surgery for orthopedic tumors, so I'll leave that to Professor Du and the others." Fang Ziye interrupted the conversation.

Du Yingshan didn't reply for a long time, but he didn't hang up either.

"Okay!" Two minutes later, Du Yingshan finally said this.

Then Du Yingshan said, "Fang Ziye, although I don't know the limits of your abilities, I don't think we can discuss these things in private."

"If you need, I can send some people from our department to you, to Zeng Duoqin, to take your orders."

"You don't need to worry about these students' graduation. As long as you sincerely guide them along the way, that's enough."

"Of course, I will also come over often to check on their studies."

What Fang Ziye was talking about sounded very fantastical, and it was definitely not based on any prior research.

Du Yingshan had no experience in starting a completely new project from scratch.

In the entire field of orthopedics, Fang Ziye is arguably the only person with such experience.

Even if Du Yingshan had to do manual labor, he still had to go with Fang Ziye to sort out the loose ends first.

Such a loose thread cannot be untangled simply by Fang Ziye mentioning it.

Otherwise, everyone could just randomly guess the research topic!
"Teacher Du, that's for sure. Whether it's senior or junior students who come, as long as they want to learn, I will do my best to teach them."

“However, we might not be able to dedicate that much time to it,” Fang Ziye said.

Du Yingshan said, "Of course, Ziye, I can't possibly send a bunch of brainless idiots to your place to learn. They have good learning abilities, you just need to give them a few pointers at crucial moments."

……

When Fang Ziye entered the operating room, Tang Yi and the others had already arrived.

However, apart from two or three people gathered on the stage to disinfect and lay out towels, everyone else huddled together, chatting amongst themselves.

"Wow, our hospital's orthopedics department is really making a strong push! How did it jump to fifth place all of a sudden?"

"Our trauma surgery department is only ranked fourteenth in the country." These were the words of Qin Geluo, tinged with indignation.
"What are you talking about?" Fang Ziye, having overheard a few words, craned his neck in curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Hu Qingyuan and the others quickly turned around.

Tang Yi spoke first: "Ziye, the Fudan University version of the comprehensive ranking of specialized departments has been released again. Our orthopedics department has been ranked in three sub-specialties."

"Trauma, orthopedics, bone tumors."

"Our hospital's orthopedics department ranks 21st overall, trauma is 14th, and the bone disease department has made the biggest leap, soaring directly to fifth place."

"Ahead of us are only Jishuitan Hospital, Kyoto Third Hospital, Huashan Hospital, and Shanghai Sixth Hospital."

"Are other bone tumor specialists, such as those at West China Hospital and the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, surpassed by our hospital?" Tang Yi was completely baffled.

Fang Ziye listened, took Hu Qingyuan's phone and glanced at it, and found that the specific rankings were indeed similar to what Tang Yi had said.

Even self-media accounts on WeChat have specifically commented on the reasons why the Department of Orthopedics at Zhongnan Hospital suddenly soared in the rankings.

There's a particularly interesting sentence in it.

The significance of important scientific research projects lies in their ability to deliver a devastating blow to others, allowing them to achieve meteoric rises!
Fang Ziye handed the phone to Tang Yi: "Teacher Tang, this is good news. It proves that Teacher Du and the others have done a good job leading the team."

"Besides, it also proves that Xiao Fang, all my hard work last year wasn't in vain..."

Fang Ziye was not overly modest.

If something that can broadly disrupt the industry can't boost a ranking, then the words "overall strength ranking" can be dropped.

Just like how the Department of Orthopedics at Shanghai No. 6 Hospital has been outstanding ever since it independently developed finger replantation technology.

For example, after Academician Chen Zhongwei transferred from Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital to Huashan Hospital, he helped Huashan Hospital achieve its leading position in the comprehensive field of hand surgery in China for decades!

"You kid, at least you're not being modest anymore, otherwise I wouldn't know how to talk to you." Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, then let out a long sigh of relief.

"Teacher Tang, did I just speak too boldly?" Fang Ziye deliberately acted cute.

Hearing Fang Ziye's adorable question, everyone laughed.

Even Hu Qingyuan laughed.

"So what if you're high-profile? So what if you're high-profile? I'll be high-profile too if I see this ranking!"

"Our Zhongnan Hospital is really amazing, isn't it?"

Tang Yi said, "Take our trauma surgery department for example. Isn't Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Hubei Province right behind us?"

"The only one at the top is Tongji Trauma Surgery."

"How many more years can he keep jumping?"

Although the words were unpleasant, no one thought Tang Yi's words were wrong.

Tongji Hospital's trauma surgery department is indeed excellent, but with Fang Ziye there, and Fang Ziye is a specialist in trauma surgery, one day he will lead the trauma surgery department to be even better than Tongji Hospital!
Moreover, Tongji Hospital's overall ranking in trauma surgery has actually risen; otherwise, it wouldn't be in the top ten!
It was also because of the limb-sparing surgery that the majority of the work was done by Fang Ziye's team, but Professor Duan Hong and others also benefited from other advantages. In addition, with Fang Ziye's support, they achieved the good results they have today.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye said rather inhumanely, "Professor Tang, what if I end up having the trauma surgery department of Tongji Hospital putting me in a difficult position?"

Tang Yi's eyes widened like a bull's: "Then your teacher will chop you up!" (End of Chapter)
