top student at medical school

Tian Yao's expression shifted several times before settling into a calm: "Master, my aptitude is limited. After graduation, I will most likely return to my hometown."

"With a doctoral degree, it's not difficult to get into a provincial hospital. The competition in Yunnan Province is not as fierce as in Hubei Province."

Tian Yao was well aware that if Fang Ziye was really willing to mentor him, feeding him a few major papers would allow him to achieve rapid advancement, making it easy for him to get into Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

But the consequence of doing so is that others will question the authenticity of Tian Yao's "achievements" in the future. Tian Yao knows very well what his own qualifications are.

Fang Ziye never did that; he only provided sufficient resources and guidance, telling you to produce as much as your abilities allow.

Fang Ziye did not favor Feng Junfeng; he only favored Hu Qingyuan.

Fang Ziye was very strict with the others, including Hu Qingyuan's girlfriend, Li Qixi. Li Qixi had to go through a nearly five-month probationary period before she could enter the laboratory!
Fang Ziye asked, "Master has given you quite a few opportunities, hasn't he? And laid a solid foundation for you, hasn't he?"

Tian Yao quickly shook his head, then, after imprinting some memories into his mind, replied, "Master, your kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain; I truly am not fortunate enough to have received such a blessing!"

What kind of foundation can you get by following Fang Ziye?
You've arrived! First, learn how to write an article.

Alright, two papers from the first-tier journal were produced so smoothly.

Now you know how to write an article, right? The money's here. Go do the research. You don't need to apply for grants; I'll cover the funding. The research direction is here; you can work on it yourselves. Feel free to ask me anything you don't understand...

In clinical practice, the surgical procedures are here, and your master has already written down how to practice each step. There are also instructional videos and senior students who can teach you.

If you still can't learn it after all this, and can't beat your classmates at completing "Mount Tai Pressing Down," then you really have no way out.

I can give you research results, and I can copy articles, but I can't give you technical expertise.

Feng Junfeng glanced at Tian Yao, then at Fang Ziye, and whispered, "Master, Tian Yao has actually tried his best. He's just not good enough for the orthopedics department?"

"Don't speak!" Fang Ziye interrupted Feng Junfeng's plea.

“I can keep him in the hospital, and I can let him learn a lot of surgeries from me, but what will happen to him in the future?”

"Including you, Feng Junfeng, it's the same. You have to learn all those clinical techniques one by one. We're sending you to do research, not to use research to treat diseases, but to let you know how to do it if you want to produce some technologies that are more beneficial to patients in the future."

"Why do scientific research? Which scientific research methods can improve the treatment of patients? Treating patients is the ultimate goal of scientific research."

"Not everyone is capable of improving treatment techniques and treatment plans."

“You haven’t even fully established yourself yet. You’re still quite far from being hospitalized. It’s just that, as expected, you can be hospitalized.”

"But you also need to pray that no amateur gigolos come to apply!"

"Otherwise, your master, I also learned from your grandmaster, Professor Deng Yong."

Professor Deng Yong's signature technique: 'Sacrificing Disciples as Sacrifice to the Dao'!
Fang Ziye's graduate advisor, Yuan Weihong, was the one whom Deng Yong killed so that he could stay in the hospital.

Feng Junfeng and Tian Yao were trembling with fear and felt like they were sitting on pins and needles after being criticized by Fang Ziye!

Of course, as the saying goes, actions speak louder than words, Fang Ziye added, "Of course, I am your master after all, so I am your master."

“I will be ready to help you out at any time. Apart from clinical procedures, you don’t need to care about how much research output your fellow PhD students have.”

"You can have as much as he has, or even more."

"But the specific level of skill depends on your individual abilities, which is something your master can't help with," Fang Ziye said with a sigh.

They can have as many articles as their peers, and even more.

This means that the two of them don't need to worry about research output; they can just focus on learning surgical techniques and practicing basic skills to prepare for becoming chief residents in the future.

If you can't outrun someone with two legs who can't even walk on one leg, then you deserve it!

"Thank you, Master!" Tian Yao and Feng Junfeng nodded in thanks at the same time.

Fang Ziye added, "However, you must understand the roles that Master assigned to you. Hu Qingyuan can follow me to do clinical research and develop new surgical techniques. That's why he can be so carefree."

“You can’t do this. If you don’t spend more time solidifying your basic skills, you won’t even be able to get past the threshold.”

"Judging from Hu Qingyuan's basic skills and theoretical accumulation, he will be able to cross the threshold in about a year, so he has the leisure to think about becoming a clinical doctor who is research-oriented, teaching-oriented, and professional."

"For you, the most important thing is to just focus on becoming a clinician."

Fang Ziye clarified the roles of the two students.

Feng Junfeng is a master's student in this department. He used to be Fang Ziye's junior. He expressed his desire to pursue a doctorate under Fang Ziye a long time ago, but Fang Ziye did not agree at first.

It was Feng Junfeng who won over Fang Ziye through his own efforts.

Currently, Feng Junfeng continues to win over Fang Ziye with his technical skills through his own efforts, but Tian Yao is still lacking in experience.

Not all students are able to adapt to working with Fang Ziye on new technologies.

If they also spend a lot of time dealing with spinal cord injuries, the only result will be that the two of them leave Zhongnan Hospital in disgrace.

If you can't even stay in the hospital, don't even think about getting promoted quickly.

“Yes, Master!” Feng Junfeng said, bowing his head and speaking in a low voice.

Tian Yao, on the other hand, bury his head in the sand and didn't say anything more...

After all, they can see all kinds of geniuses here with Fang Ziye, because Fang Ziye is an insurmountable mountain that all medical geniuses cannot cross!
The treatment of thoracic spinal cord injury differs slightly from that of lumbar spinal cord injury.

However, the general concept is similar, but the bridging electrodes and electrode embedding methods required for thoracic spinal cord injuries need to be more sophisticated.

Multiple spinal cord injuries require as many as seven or eight bridging electrodes, which cannot be fully addressed by simple puncture techniques and instruments.

Of course, it can also be done with a puncture device, but that requires more detailed theoretical calculations and location selection!

"Ziye, you should do it..." After exposing the thoracic spinal cord, Tang Yi immediately backed down and took a few steps back.

Medicine is difficult.

The lumbar spine and the thoracic spine are quite different.

Surgery on the ulnar and radial sides of the hand is completely different!
Fang Ziye joked, "If you're being so polite, Teacher Tang, then I won't be polite either."

Tang Yi knew Fang Ziye was joking, rolled his eyes, and retorted without hesitation, "You arrogant bastard!"

Associate Professor Liang Duo, an anesthesiologist who has now become a full-time anesthesiologist for orthopedic surgeries, exclaimed nervously after hearing this: "Professor Tang, didn't you say you wouldn't casually reveal this nickname?"

It's obvious that the title "King of Pretentiousness" was given to Fang Ziye by Liang Duo.

As Fang Ziye dissected the spinal cord, he turned his head and asked, "Professor Liang, do you have a lot of opinions about me?" "No, no!" Liang Duo quickly stood at attention and shook his head vigorously.

The reason he became a full-time orthopedic anesthesiologist was at Fang Ziye's request, not because he made himself a full-time orthopedic anesthesiologist.

Nowadays, with orthopedics, there are many research topics, especially spinal cord injury. This is an anesthesia and monitoring experience that other anesthesiologists do not have, and sharing it will make for a brilliant article.

"So you have a problem with our orthopedics department? I need to talk to Professor Liao Pei and ask him to switch to another one."

"Teacher Tang, do you think we should choose a pretty girl or an even prettier one? I remember the anesthesiology department..." Fang Ziye naturally used his 'team leader' charisma to prematurely shift the atmosphere of the operating room into the gossip circle.

Simply performing surgery is so boring. If you're confident in the surgery and it goes smoothly, are you going to be joking around or reciting scriptures?

"Professor Fang, how dare you, a son-in-law of anesthesiologist, pick on beautiful women? Are you trying to rebel?" the scrub nurse immediately began to nitpick.

Tang Yi immediately coughed: "Hey, Wang Ya, even if you're not good-looking, there's no need for you to say it out loud, is there?"

"Professor Fang personally chose you!"

"Head Nurse, do you have any male nurses in your nursing department?"

"I've always thought Wang Yatai was too spoiled!!! She's not suitable to be a specialist nurse in our orthopedics department." Tang Yi was a veteran in orthopedics, and he was quite adept at teasing nurses.

The battleground for this topic suddenly shifted from anesthesiologists to nurses, quite naturally.

The nurse named Wang Ya was stunned. She never expected that her casual remark would make her the target of everyone's criticism.

The head nurse of the orthopedic ward, who was on duty, looked up, smiled, and remained silent.

Wang Ya quickly explained, "Director Fang, I... I didn't mean that. I'm not delicate, I'm quite rough... It's just that Professor Liang has a problem with you and has given you a lot of nicknames..."

Wang Ya immediately betrayed Fang Ziye: "For example, the King of Pretenders, the BT version, the Son of Versions, and the one who says you are the toughest steel pipe."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye tilted his head and coughed, "Don't talk nonsense like that."

"My daughter Tingzhu might misunderstand if she hears this!"

Tang Yi and the others laughed coolly.

If Wang Yaneng knew that Fang Ziye was the hardest steel pipe, then that's a huge joke.

Song Yi was in the audience when his phone rang.

"Director Fang, the consultation has started," Song Yi reported politely.

"Go ahead and do your work. Call me anytime if you need anything. We have plenty of people in the team right now..." Fang Ziye turned his head and gave Feng Junfeng a look.

Feng Junfeng immediately followed: "Brother Yi, Brother Yi, I'm right here! How could you forget? I've been working with you this month..."

Wang Ya's cheeks flushed slightly, and she explained, "Director Fang, please don't tell our head nurse, or I'll be transferred to the general surgery department."

You could say that orthopedics is the cleanest specialty within surgery.

At most, it's just blood.

ENT specialists may encounter nasal discharge, thoracic and cardiac surgeons may encounter phlegm, general surgeons may encounter bile and feces, and urologists may encounter urine odor...

Wang Ya was clearly one of the more naive new nurses, and Tang Yi felt a little guilty seeing how nervous he was.

"It was just a joke, why did you take it seriously?"

"But you'd better be more proactive, otherwise this cushy job will soon be taken by someone else."

"Currently, it's just that Director Fang is unwilling to change the staff. Actually, in private, we have plenty of male nurses in our orthopedic operating room, all of whom are strong and capable!" Tang Yi explained.

"Hmm!" Wang Ya nodded emphatically, looking somewhat simple-minded.

Fang Ziye had successfully placed the two bridging electrodes and turned to ask, "Hu Qingyuan, find today's cafeteria, and remember to find a takeout place with a physical store."

"I've recently heard that the food in the operating room is getting worse and worse. The buffet that costs 30 yuan a meal has hardly any meat. I don't know who the hospital has outsourced it to."

Lan Qin, the head nurse of the orthopedic department, immediately said, "Director Fang, I know, I know. The person who contracted the operating room cafeteria this time is a relative of Director Xiong from the Medical Affairs Department."

"If Director Fang also provides feedback, even if we can't change the contractor, the food will definitely improve!"

Lan Qin is a male nurse. He is not very tall, but he is strong and powerful.

"Really? Then I'll tag Dean Liao Jiayuan in the group later," Fang Ziye said. "I don't know if it will work."

"It will definitely work, Director Fang," Lan Qin said with certainty.

Given Fang Ziye's current standing in the new hospital area, if word got out that the food in the operating room cafeteria was bad, even the pharmaceutical sales representatives could find a way to contract out the cafeteria and have Fang Ziye cook for them full-time.

Not to mention the hospital's leaders, Fang Ziye's current status surpasses that of most of the hospital's directors and leaders. The only difference is that Fang Ziye lacks the title of academician, but he is qualified to be any other expert!

Let alone being a relative of Director Xiong Hanzhong of the Medical Affairs Department, even Director Xiong Hanzhong can be replaced, but Fang Ziye cannot be replaced. He is the face of Zhongnan Hospital's orthopedics, surgery, and research fields, and one of the most representative figures in the medical department of Wuhan University.

Seoul University now places great emphasis on the development of medical programs, with a strong focus on its clinical and basic medical colleges.

……

Fang Ziye was just joking, but unexpectedly, around 11:40 a.m., a scrub nurse returned after lunch and said, "Head Nurse, the food in the cafeteria tastes amazing today."

"There are big chicken drumsticks, and the taste is excellent. You can tell it's not the previous chef just by tasting it."

The thoracic surgery was much more difficult, and Fang Ziye could no longer finish the operation in 30 or 40 minutes. Even now, he was still struggling with where to place the last two bridging electrodes and whether it would affect the other bridging electrodes.

With his mind in turmoil, Fang Ziye turned his head slightly and asked, "Brother Lan, is it really that amazing?"

Lan Qin smiled sheepishly and said, "Director Fang, I'm sorry, but I felt that we were just trying to solve the problem of food, not to make enemies."

"As long as the problem is solved, that's good, so I sent a message to Director Xiong. Director Xiong said he would solve it immediately, but I didn't expect it to be solved so quickly."

The operating room has a meal break room where doctors from our hospital can eat, but it costs money.

The individual pays half, and the college student pays the other half; thirty yuan a meal isn't cheap!
Fang Ziye didn't hesitate. After taking out his hands, he called out, "Hu Qingyuan, push the C-arm machine and scan the patient's thoracic spine again."

When only one or two bridging electrodes are used, the operation is very simple, and there is no need to consider the mutual influence between the electrodes.

However, placing eight of them is not as simple as expected. (End of Chapter)
