top student at medical school

Jie Han and Lan Tianluo are no longer the complete newbies they once were. After experiencing the training of chief resident, they have matured considerably.

Both in terms of mindset and skills, they are capable of standing on their own.

Admittedly, due to his limited operational skills, Jie Han is not yet able to perform ultra-high-end surgeries such as spinal cord injury on his own. He can be involved in earlier functional reconstruction and rehabilitation procedures. Because his learning time is similar to that of others, his proficiency is such that at any level of academic conference in the country, people would respectfully call him Professor Jie Han.

The situation has changed. Fang Ziye is now much like Professor Deng Yong was back then. He is the team leader and the ward director, and can be considered to have a "one-man show." As associate professors, the two of them have the right to "revise" Fang Ziye's decisions!

"Are you all so averse to this disease?" Fang Ziye's expression was calm; he wasn't angry, but rather chuckled.

The team has a considerable number of members; it can be described as a top-tier team.

Professor Tang Yi oversaw the overall situation while Fang Ziye was "relaxed" and served as a backup technical backbone in the team. In addition, Associate Chief Physician Li Nuo and Associate Professor Qin Geluo filled in any gaps, and Attending Physician and Associate Professor Lan Tianluo and Associate Professor Jie Han also managed the progress of clinical research projects.

There is also Song Yi, an attending physician and associate professor, who is in charge of basic research and, together with Li Yuanpei, leads the basic research group.

Furthermore, there are 'geniuses' like Hu Qingyuan and Li Qixi who get things done. This team structure is far more impressive than Deng Yong's back then.

Long ago, Deng Yong's clinical team consisted of Associate Professor Xie Jinyuan and Attending Physician Yuan Weihong, while the basic research team had at most one other associate professor from another surgical department. This structure was already considered high-end at Zhongnan Hospital.

But the current Fang Ziye's place is no less luxurious than the structure of Professor Duan Hong's group at Tongji Hospital, and may even be slightly better.

In both scientific research and clinical practice, competence is paramount.

Of course, this kind of respect for ability is absolutely about strength. If you only have a little bit of ability and are just a half-baked amateur, no one will care about you.

But if you have real strength and absolutely hardcore scientific research output, even those with super-strong connections will avoid you.

The main reason is that there's no need for these people to clash with you. Even if they want to leverage their 'connections,' they won't go against someone like you.

Because truly hardcore researchers represent a hospital, a university, or even a research community in China, competing with their peers worldwide. Therefore, such talent is extremely scarce, and any university with even a modicum of ambition will protect such individuals with utmost care…

"Brother, it's not that I'm averse to the disease, it's the patient group!"

"Senior brother, just tell me, how many children do we have to send off during our research project? At least seventy or eighty, right?" Jie Han counted on his fingers.

"This isn't just seven or eight, it's seventy or eighty."

"Senior, we're not in oncology or pediatrics, why would we get involved in this kind of thing?"

"You can't ignore a research project you've started, and you can't ignore it either..."

“I’m not mentally unstable. If you insist on doing this project, I will apply for recusal in advance.”

Lan Tianluo also sighed and said, "I guess Liao Jia and Brother Nie don't care about this. I can't stand seeing this kind of scene, so I applied to be excused in advance."

Hearing Jie Han and Lan Tianlu say the same thing, Fang Ziye became conflicted and joked, "Are you two avoiding the issue because you don't want to see a doctor?"

"According to the joke, you want there to be no poor people within a 30-mile radius, so your approach is to drive away all the poor people, which is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause, right?"

Lan Tianluo said, "Senior brother, I know that this is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. But I was never a pediatrician or an oncologist to begin with. These things are for people of 'high moral character' to do. I'm just an ordinary person, I can't do it."

Lan Tianluo's thoughts at this moment were similar to those of Fang Ziye back then.

The initial purpose of developing the miniature circulatory device was solely for limb-sparing surgery. Fang Ziye paid no attention to or participated in any consideration of its benefits for organ transplantation.

I would never participate, even if you killed me.

At that time, Fang Ziye no longer needed to improve organ transplantation to enhance his academic and professional status, so he just stubbornly persisted.

However, at this moment, Fang Ziye had a kind of realistic boomerang: "I can be stubborn, but when others are stubborn, I also think you guys are annoying."

"Then let's put this topic on hold for now. Actually, I'm also very curious about the initial causes of the rapid progression of childhood tumors," Fang Ziye readily agreed.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

After Jie Han turned on the remote control, Liu Huanglong, who was not good-looking, walked in from outside, carrying two bottles of wine and a bag of crayfish.

"Oh, you've already started drinking?"

“Then my arrival is just in time…” Professor Liu Huanglong very proactively squeezed in.

"Teacher Liu, Teacher Liu." Jie Han, Lan Tianluo, Fang Ziye and the others quickly and enthusiastically offered their help.

Liu Huanglong said, "After rushing home, I found that the food wasn't ready yet. My wife took our son to my maternal grandparents' house. I heard that you have a secluded tea room here, so I came over to join you..."

"Want to grab something together?"

Liu Huanglong was no longer the 'genius associate chief physician' he once was. He was the top neurosurgeon below the level of chief physician. Now in his forties, he is one of the most well-known neurosurgeons in the country. He is also the vice chairman of the Hubei Provincial Hand Surgery Association and the vice chairman of the National Hand Surgery Association, which means he has replaced Fang Ziye.

They were living a very comfortable life!

Fang Ziye glanced at Lan Tianluo: "Tianluo, who's in the second-tier class today?"

The first-line team is led by the chief resident, who is a newly promoted calligrapher from Professor Dai's team at Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital. He is the extraterrestrial who took down Feng Junfeng.

Hospital staff are always on the front line in the wards, while attending physicians are on the second line.

Currently, the team consists of Jie Han, Lan Tianluo, and Song Yi, who take turns working together.

“It just so happens to be Yi Ge’s second-tier class, senior brother, we can make it happen,” Jie Han said.

“Not on duty? That’s perfect, let’s get started…” Liu Huanglong quickly called out.

Fang Ziye and Jie Han each sent a message to Luo Tingzhu and Huang Shan, and the two of them came over shortly afterward.

You can skip the alcohol, but you can't miss the plump and delicious crayfish of early summer.

Liu Huanglong was wealthy and bought a lot of lobsters. They weren't the kind of braised lobsters sold by weight, but rather spicy lobsters and stir-fried lobsters, totaling more than three hundred. If it weren't for Liu Huanglong's robust physique, he might not have been able to carry them all up in one trip...

Wearing gloves, Fang Ziye said with a smile midway through the meal, "Teacher Liu, if there's another good opportunity like this next time, remember to let us know so we can go down and help."

"It must weigh at least sixty or seventy pounds..."

"Eat, eat, eat..."

Liu Huanglong then asked, "Ladies, if you've finished eating, could you please excuse me for a moment? I'd like to have a cigarette."

Upon hearing this, Jie Han immediately took off his mask and gave Liu Huanglong a cigarette, then lit one for himself.

Jie Han didn't used to smoke, but during his stay as a resident, he couldn't resist the pressure and started smoking. Now, Jie Han is a 'subordinate' that many of his superiors in the department prefer.

Neither Fang Ziye nor Lan Tianluo smoked, so I had much less time to interact with them.

Luo Tingzhu and Huang Shan were already full; they only came to try the food. After each eating about thirty pieces, their stomachs were full.

Luo Tingzhu then said, "Huang Shan, let's go. Let me see the poems you've written, and you can teach me a bit while you're at it." Huang Shan is a law student, and the law department belongs to the Chinese literature department. The humanities department at Han City University is quite strong nationwide.

Historical evidence shows that it wasn't something that could be eradicated by a few unorthodox methods. The two men left one after the other, and now Luo Tingzhu has gradually picked up her love for reading again...

……

"Ziye, the research on nerve implantation has also been completed three or four months ago."

"Although I've recently come up with some new research topics, none of them seem very interesting. They're mostly just about improving tendon and nerve suturing techniques."

"Do you have any better ideas?" Liu Huanglong asked directly.

A wisp of smoke rose, and Liu Huanglong's slightly fawning smile was faintly visible through the dizziness in his eyes. He grinned, as if he had undergone a hundred cosmetic surgeries.

Fang Ziye laughed and said, "Teacher Liu, are you treating me like a cow?"

"Is it really that easy to come up with a research topic?"

“I haven’t had any particularly good ideas lately. I was originally planning to work on pediatric oncology, but both of you brothers rejected me.” Fang Ziye casually pointed to Lan Tianluo and Jie Han.

Liu Huanglong instinctively said, "That's a good refusal!"

"Let me tell you, there's a pediatrics department and an obstetrics department. These two departments... well, it's hard to explain... You can get your fill of gossip here, and it's also a good place to calm your mind."

In pediatrics, you sometimes encounter children who don't know where their mothers are or who their fathers are.

In obstetrics, mothers often don't know who the father is, and they're unsure what the child's surname will be. There are countless cases of older men marrying younger women, or younger women marrying older women.

All I can say is that I respect other people's freedom to date.

"See, senior brother, even Teacher Liu said so. You'd better listen to his advice." Jie Han held out his cigarette, with the practiced ease of Mr. Shu.

"If you really want to do research, I think it would be quite good to specialize in hand surgery."

Liu Huanglong instantly showed great admiration for Jie Han: "Yes, yes, yes, the hand surgery topic is great, basically no one dies."

Fang Ziye interrupted directly: "Then Jie Han, you go and be Professor Liu's advisor..."

Jie Han immediately deflated, but his quick wit led him to come up with an excuse: "Senior, I am a trauma surgeon, not a hand surgeon. I am not a specialist."

Liu Huanglong's eyes narrowed immediately, his short eyebrows furrowed, his small eyes shrank, and his tone became sharp: "At a time like this, you're still holding onto sectarian prejudices?"

"This is where I have to criticize you. It's understandable that your grandparents' generation had sectarian prejudices, but your master..."

Liu Huanglong suddenly found himself on the moral high ground.

Lan Tianma immediately advised, "Teacher Liu, stop scolding."

"Whether or not one has sectarian biases and whether or not one is the most professional hand surgeon are two completely different things. There is so much to learn in medicine."

"Our understanding of hand surgery is simply tendons, blood vessels, nerves, and tendons."

"Is hand surgery just about these three things? Obviously not."

"For example, the total brachial plexus avulsion injury is mostly caused by a car accident that avulses the C5-T1 nerve roots from the spinal cord, resulting in complete loss of hand function."

"Neurological treatment was ineffective."

"Neural transposition and muscle transplantation can only restore elbow flexion and rebuild grasping function."

"These are all improvements in the treatment methods for specific diseases, which are generally due to the inherent anatomical structure."

“Nerve roots and other proximal nerves have no nerve fiber source, so how can we do this… unless we can borrow the ideas from the spinal cord injury research that my senior is working on…” Lan Tianluo said.

Liu Huanglong immediately nodded: "Yes, yes!"

That's exactly what I think.

Now, the remaining difficult and complicated cases in hand surgery are not the more general functional impairments of the past, but rather very detailed local functional impairments and targeted diseases.

Fang Ziye smiled and said, "Professor Liu, I can give you my previous research proposal and experimental procedures completely."

Liu Huanglong retorted irritably, "What's the point of that?"

“I remember that two teams in Australia referenced your research proposal to conduct research on the upper intracranial spinal cord, and they killed several people… This research topic is currently a no-go zone for neurosurgery.”

"What's the use of having methods if you still need people?"

Spinal cord injury is a broad topic. Lower spinal cord injuries fall under non-intracranial paralysis, while higher spinal cord injuries, such as those originating from the medulla oblongata, remain unsolved.

Even with Fang Ziye's previous research on spinal cord injury as a supplement, it is still a disease for which there is no way to treat it.

Fang Ziye said, "Professor Liu, all I can do is give you ideas and proposals."

"My main focus going forward is to work on one or two research projects in the emergency department. I'll see if I can save a few more lives."

Liu Huanglong pleaded earnestly, "Emergency Department? Ziye, why are you meddling in this department again?"

"You're our orthopedic surgeon?"

But Liu Huanglong's advice was ineffective for a moment, because Jie Han and Lan Tianlu's eyes lit up: "The emergency department's research topic is good. Emergency department research topics are relatively simple and straightforward, and the solutions are also simple and straightforward."

One of the most fascinating disciplines in medicine is the emergency department.

Because emergency injuries are more in line with medical aesthetics, treating the disease is about saving lives.

Specialized treatments are available, but the emergency room is where lives are saved...

Although I don't know what research topic Fang Ziye is going to do, being able to go to the emergency room with Fang Ziye is definitely a pleasure, and I feel a great sense of accomplishment and achievement.

"Stop eating crayfish!"

"Spit them all out." Liu Huanglong's face instantly hardened when he saw the three little ones nod.

Jie Han, having been influenced by Yuan Weihong for several years, learned very quickly and immediately transferred two thousand yuan to Liu Huanglong.

"You son of a bitch!" Liu Huanglong watched as Jie Han transferred the money and then took the money from his phone.

Although he didn't know how Jie Han found out his phone password, Liu Huanglong was still furious.

"Teacher Liu, the rest is your delivery fee, thank you." Jie Han added a deliberately sarcastic remark, giving Liu Huanglong a particularly flirtatious wink. (End of Chapter)
