top student at medical school

During the dinner, Fang Ziye and the others were adamant that they would not drink alcohol.

Liu Haihua's face was flushed. He raised his glass apologetically and said, "Director Dou, Director Qiu, I'm very happy that my teachers are here today. They have missions to fulfill, so I'll toast you again."

Fang Ziye didn't stop him. While eating, he said, "Liu Haihua, you need to control your portion size. Don't embarrass yourself."

Director Dou Liehong was in a bad mood at the moment. Liu Haihua was trying his best to stop Fang Ziye and the others from drinking. He seemed to be drinking heavily and opening up, but it was not a good thing.

People who are good at reading are usually quite shrewd when they file a complaint.

"Haihua, Qiuhua, I think that's about enough. The important thing is to deal with Professor Fang's cases later, so we can't delay them."

"Haihua, you should also control your intake. You're closest to Professor Fang and the others. If you get sick, how will we report the cases?" Dou Liehong said with a smile, trying to comfort her.

Upon hearing this, Liu Haihua rubbed his scalp and resumed his honest and unassuming manner: "Director Dou, then I won't drink for now. I'll drink with you all tonight."

Dou Liehong really wanted to slap Liu Haihua across the face, but the situation didn't allow it.

In fact, Liu Haihua wasn't wrong. This was their daily routine. Ever since Liu Haihua came to the hospital, he was basically being taken around by Qiu Hua from the trauma surgery department every day.

While part of the intention was to show respect for Liu Haihua, the fact remains that he was constantly being fed alcohol.

Lan Tianlu casually remarked, "Haihua, with this kind of training, your alcohol tolerance is bound to increase significantly. You'll probably be able to beat Teacher Deng's class on Teacher's Day this year."

Liu Haihua was half-drunk and half-awake, and smiled slightly, "Professor Lan, I can't get through with this much alcohol."

Fang Ziye remained silent, continuing to eat and drink, before directly changing the subject: "Director Qiu, in your hospital, what are the most common surgeries you perform? Are they also fractures?"

“I’ve been to Enshi Central Hospital before, and they have a relatively high number of fracture cases.”

Qiu Hua could see the calm demeanor of Fang Ziye and the others, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to explain.

Liu Haihua's method of complaining was very subtle. Not a single word was said that was bad about the department. Every sentence was sincere and heartfelt. But all of this made Qiu Hua really tremble with fear.

Lan Tianluo was right. Even if we don't care about the monk, we should care about the Buddha. Liu Haihua is Professor Deng Yong's student. Why are you doing this to him?

"..."

After the dinner, Qiu Hua took the opportunity to pull Liu Haihua aside.

With the hot wind blowing on his face, Liu Haihua was already sweating profusely. Qiu Hua patted Liu Haihua on the shoulder: "Haihua, if you don't want to come out in the future, remember to let me know."

"Although the technical learning in the department is done in stages, your foundation is good, so I will ask others to give you more opportunities."

Liu Haihua felt his stomach churning, but he held it in and his nostrils flared out: "No, no, Director Qiu, I'm very grateful to you for often taking me out to broaden my horizons."

"I hadn't accumulated much experience before, and my surgical techniques were very limited. Although I had some theoretical knowledge, it wasn't systematic enough. Furthermore, what I had accumulated was mostly basic skills, which had very few applications!"

"We still need Director Qiu's continued guidance."

Liu Haihua's tone was sincere.

Qiu Hua's heart tightened even more: "Teaching is what I should do, Liu Haihua. This is a prefecture-level city hospital, not like the Zhongnan Hospital where you used to work."

"Our learning here is all done in this sequential order. So..."

"I understand, Director Qiu. Let's take it slow." Liu Haihua's tone remained sincere, and his face was honest and unassuming.

He was filled with regret. He regretted not working harder back then, so he didn't have the chance to learn the techniques from Deng Yong again. Now, if you want such a clinical opportunity, you have to wait in line.

In prefecture-level city hospitals, interpersonal relationships are complex; basically, everyone has some connection with someone.

These people have long since established all sorts of connections, and whenever there is a surgery in the department that they are capable of performing, they are given priority.

As for Liu Haihua, he could only wait until others got tired of it and looked forward to the next round of techniques, and then it would be Liu Haihua's turn to learn.

Liu Haihua is Professor Deng Yong's master's student, but local officials have more power than county officials.

Finding the Party Secretary won't help, but finding the security captain will—this isn't just a joke circulating online…

"I..." Qiu Hua's scalp tingled, and he didn't even feel comfortable scolding Liu Haihua.

This was the result of his brainwashing of Liu Haihua, who became the person he envisioned. However, Liu Haihua was so "obsessed" that he was even seen by his "senior brothers" such as Fang Ziye.

Qiu Hua could foresee the consequences his hospital would face in the future.

Qiu Hua was already weighing whether or not to attend the next provincial academic conference. Clearly, Fang Ziye and the others also had a deep impression of Liu Haihua…

In the trauma surgeon's office at the hospital, desks were arranged in rows, and a red banner with white lettering hung in front of them, which read: "Welcome Professor Fang to visit our department for guidance!"
The doctors and nurses from the department sat side by side at the two rows of desks. Fang Ziye, Lan Tianluo, and others sat in the 'secondary master's' position next to Director Qiu Hua, listening attentively to the details of Liu Haihua's case report.

Qiu Hua then turned to Lin Longsheng and said, "Lin Longsheng, go and urge them again. Why hasn't that 3D-printed prosthesis come out yet? The case reports here are almost finished!"

Lin Longsheng got up and went out, then called again to urge them on.

Liu Haihua presented the medical records very meticulously and methodically. The PPT he created was also in a very standard format, the kind of simplified format that Zhongnan Hospital is accustomed to using for group meetings and exchange meetings.

There isn't much fancy content; it's just decorated with short sentences and words.

Around 2:40 PM, after Liu Haihua finished his report, Jie Han asked, "Director Qiu, you should have performed two surgeries on this case, right?"

"Looking at the patient's external scars, they don't seem like surgical scars from a previous injury."

“A surgical scar is usually quite hard and won’t heal as softly as this kind of scar.”

Qiu Hua nodded and said with a forced smile, "Professor Jie, you really have a keen eye. In fact, we discovered the abnormal blood supply in this patient's local area on the second day after the surgery."

"So we immediately disassembled it and performed blood supply reconstruction. During the operation, we confirmed that the surface blood supply was unobstructed, but we did not expect that the internal blood supply would have problems."

Will this affect the evaluations of several professors?

"This surgical history is not something we deliberately concealed. In our view, the revascularization after the initial surgery should also be classified as a first-stage surgery."

"No second surgery was performed after that."

Jie Han nodded and then shook his head slightly: "It won't affect the final evaluation, it's just that it feels a bit like a coincidence."

"If this patient's blood vessel structure was originally like this, then he should have had symptoms before."

"But when Liu Haihua was reporting the case just now, he said that the patient had no accompanying symptoms before."

"If there was a second intervention, then it makes sense."

Qiu Hua laughed sheepishly: "I'm sorry to have made the professors laugh; I've become a typical negative example."

"Given the current situation, we dare not make any further moves."

"That's why I had Lin Longsheng call several professors, hoping you could come down and help us with our difficulties."

If a patient encounters a poor postoperative prognosis at a prefecture-level city hospital, recommending them to a provincial hospital is one option, and inviting a renowned professor to come down for a consultation and perform a surgical procedure is also a common choice.

Fang Ziye tilted his head and said, "Actually, it's not that difficult to process, it's just that this shape is very rare. Let's see if we can completely recreate the 3D model of the blood vessels later?"

"If the model isn't good enough, Tianluo, go to the radiology department and collect the original imaging data; we'll take it back and work on it." "This patient's current condition still needs to be addressed."

Lan Tianlu nodded: "Yes, the pathological mechanism is actually quite simple. After the blood supply is rebuilt, an anatomically closed cavity is formed, which makes the local blood vessels form an ineffective dead space."

"This structure is a disaster for the individual patient, but if it is used properly and with valve devices, it will be very effective in treating lower limb bleeding and managing hematomas."

Jie Han chimed in, "This is actually the process of blood redistribution, but this physical shape is quite special and will indeed have some useful applications in future surgeries."

Jie Han then asked, "Director Qiu, is your department going to keep this research topic for itself?"

"If you keep it yourself, we'll have to avoid any appearance of impropriety."

The case was discovered at Xianshi People's Hospital, which has priority in conducting research on the topic.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Hua swallowed hard. "Professor Jie, our hospital's research capabilities are really limited. We may have this idea, but we don't have the ability to achieve it."

"Currently, Haihua is the best in our scientific research level."

"However, I also asked Haihua, and he said that to do such a research project, the investment required is huge, and our hospital's funds may not be able to support it."

"In our orthopedics department..."

Qiu Hua's meaning was clear: I want to do it, but I have no money and no connections.

The best outcome would be for you to do it for us...

Jie Han is now one of the leading figures in the scientific research community, and many people have wanted to work with him on research projects for a long time.

"Director Qiu, it will be very difficult for you to host this event."

"How about this, since Director Qiu wants to do it, we'll let you do it first, and we'll see the details in six months."

"If Director Qiu and your team can do it, we'll take what's available. If not, we'll see if we can catch up on the schedule."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Hua's eyes flickered slightly.

Just as he was about to speak, Lin Longsheng walked in from outside, holding up a newly printed white blood vessel model: "Professor Fang, Professor Lan, the printing material used in our prefecture-level city is this kind of most primitive one."

"Without arteriovenous labeling, the conditions were really limited..."

Fang Ziye immediately stood up: "It's alright, we can tell where the arteries and veins are by looking at their specific structures..."

Then, Fang Ziye took over a three-dimensional structure printed with blood vessels.

The content is intricate and complex, as rough as a cat with its fur standing on end; it's difficult to make sense of the basic logic...

But no matter how difficult it is, we have to take it one step at a time.

Fang Ziye placed it on his desk and examined it carefully.

Everyone stopped listening to the sound of breathing.

A short while later, Qiu Hua called the nursing team out of the office and had the on-duty doctor go to the rest room as well, leaving only six people in the doctor's office.

Apart from Fang Ziye and the other two, there were only Qiu Hua, Lin Longsheng, and Liu Haihua.

"No coincidence is too good to be true; the wonders of nature are truly subtle."

"If I'm not mistaken, some of the nutrient-producing blood vessels in here have cleverly protected the most critical segments, sacrificing their tails to survive."

“If there were more blood on the table, we wouldn’t need to sacrifice pawns to save the king; if there were less blood on the table, everyone would starve to death… It’s amazing…” Fang Ziye murmured to himself.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Hua felt much more at ease: "Professor Fang, so you mean that what we discovered unintentionally can actually become a research project?"

"It's worth studying in depth," Fang Ziye said, without trying to sound profound.

Qiu Hua then nudged Liu Haihua.

Liu Haihua pretended not to know. After Qiu Hua continued to touch it, Liu Haihua sighed and said with regret, "Professor Fang, it's a pity that our hospital doesn't have a research atmosphere. Otherwise, I would definitely try to get involved in such a good research project."

Qiu Hua was stunned, and a huge "Holy crap" came to his mind.

The gu I raised has backfired.

Liu Haihua's words directly eliminated any possibility of the research project being left behind.

You guys never do research projects, so why don't you do a stupid one?

Moreover, he no longer dared to target Liu Haihua.

This case is, after all, related to Liu Haihua. Fang Ziye and others will keep a close eye on Liu Haihua's situation. They hope that they can lock Liu Haihua out of the contract.

So, is it still possible to survive in the world of trauma surgery?

Where do the expert teams organized to determine medical disputes and medical accidents in prefecture-level city hospitals come from?
Sometimes, when these top experts are a little too strict in their accident assessments, Qiu Hua and his colleagues are at a loss.

"Director Qiu, what's your opinion?" Fang Ziye asked.

“This surgery is relatively simple to handle. Professor Lan stayed here and finished it in a few hours.”

"If you want this model, you can keep it. If you don't need it, we'll take it back and have a look."

Qiu Hua hesitated for a moment, but finally sighed and said, "Professor Fang, you should take it."

"Jade artifacts belong to those of virtue."

Qiu Hua considered many possibilities. Even if he took this model to professors in other teaching hospitals, he would still find it difficult to avoid Fang Ziye.

On the contrary, it might leave your crotch covered in poop.

It is only natural to do what you can do yourself, but if you can't do it yourself and instead try to profit from it, then the scientific research world is not a professional field, much less a place for personal connections within the Immortal City.

Even top professors in the scientific community need to be extremely cautious...

Without anyone's endorsement, if you do a shoddy job on a research project and then share it, you'll only be ridiculed.

"Thank you so much, Director Qiu. On behalf of all the members of our research group, I would like to thank Director Qiu for his generosity."

"Tianluo, you stay here to perform the surgery. Jiehan and I will head back first." Fang Ziye didn't look at Liu Haihua, but Lan Tianluo certainly understood what he meant.

Liu Haihua was not a direct junior brother of Lan Tianluo and others, but Fang Ziye and Deng Yong had a master-disciple relationship. Liu Haihua was Fang Ziye's junior brother. When Fang Ziye left Han City for En City, Liu Haihua informed Fang Ziye many times.

Over time, feelings developed between us.

While we can't change Liu Haihua's fate, we can at least make sure he's comfortable in the city-level hospital.

This is what Fang Ziye almost became back then...
