Chapter 768 The Path to Becoming a Doctor with 300 Points
"I'm going~"

The nurses in the operating room were shocked.

"They haven't been apart for over thirty years, remaining silent to each other, their memories lasting until the seas dry up and the rocks crumble!"

"Xiao Zhang, you're being too artsy," Chen Yan said disdainfully, twirling his chest hair. "Did you also think the sky was so blue when you went to western Tibet, the kind that can cleanse your soul?"

"My brain isn't malfunctioning due to lack of oxygen, Director Chen, don't you think that's romantic?" the scrub nurse said to Chen Yan while tidying up the necessary equipment.

The patient was admitted to the hospital and underwent emergency surgery after completing relevant examinations due to severe pain.

It was Chen Yan's first time seeing a stone fetus, but he only regarded the patient as someone with a foreign object in the abdominal cavity. He never expected that the scrub nurse would have so many romantic feelings, but he just felt a headache.

“If conditions allowed, who would be willing to do this?” Chen Yan said. “The sudden disappearance of pregnancy symptoms could have been detected with an ultrasound over the past thirty years, but conditions are limited. Why do we build our country? It is so that there will be fewer patients and diseases like this.”

The scrub nurse looked disgusted, finding Chen Yan's fatherly demeanor offensive and his insistence on adding value to his resume.

That's how greasy old men are; they always want to make something valuable out of everything. The scrub nurse had already sketched out a tragic story in her mind about the patient with the stone fetus.

The old man and the young boy just kept disliking each other like that.

"Where's Professor Luo? Why hasn't he come up yet?" Chen Yan asked, looking at the film.

"Director Chen, Professor Luo is changing his clothes," Liu Yiyi replied.

She had just finished anesthetizing the patient and was adjusting the ventilator. The patient had multiple age-related illnesses, and Liu Yiyi was being very cautious.

"Xiao Liu, when are you getting married?" Chen Yan asked casually.

"It might be early next year." Liu Yiyi's eyes and brows, visible behind her mask, showed a hint of happiness.

"Yeah, only you can keep that guy Chen Yong in check."

"Director Chen, why are you talking about me behind my back?" Chen Yong and Luo Hao walked in, and as soon as they passed through the airtight door, they heard Director Chen talking about them.

"You," Director Chen said with a smile, "Professor Luo, you perform this surgery, and I'll be your assistant."

"I?"

"I have not seen."

“The key is, I’ve never seen it before either. I’ll be your assistant, and we’ll discuss it together,” Luo Hao said.

"I heard that Xiao Meng found out right away." Chen Yan only said a few polite words, and when Luo Hao did not respond, he did not continue.

"Chang CM, Yu KJ, Lin JJ, Sheu MH, Chang CY. Lithopaedion case report. Chinese Medical Journal (Taipei) 2001;64(6):369-372"

“Case courtesy of Angel Romero Domínguez, Radiopaedia.org, rID: 90404”

"It's in the literature, and the overlap is extremely high. It would be hard for Xiao Meng not to know it even if she wanted to."

Luo Hao first gave the addresses of the two papers, then laughed and said, "Similar cases are actually quite common, but such complete ones are rare."

"Have you been busy lately? I've asked you to come to the surgery several times, but you haven't come." Chen Yan didn't even bother to remember the address of the paper Luo Hao mentioned. He knew that Luo Hao was just saying it casually, a habit of Peking Union Medical College graduates, who always have to show off first no matter where they go.

Although it's very solid, it's also quite annoying.

"Luo Hao, your family's Peking Union Medical College Hospital 4+4 thing has been making quite a stir lately. Any gossip?" Chen Yan looked at Luo Hao with a smile and then gave him a whack on the head.

Luo Hao was stunned.

Chen Yong simply hid to the side, watching Luo Hao's embarrassment. This bastard keeps talking about "Xiehe" and "Xiehe"—he should explain himself.

"I heard that the person is the granddaughter of the former head of your ultrasound room 912, is that right?"

Luo Hao sighed and nodded.

"You slept in every thoracic surgery department in your family hospital from top to bottom?"

"..." Luo Hao frowned and glared fiercely at Director Chen, a rare occurrence for him.

"Hahahaha." Chen Yan knew he couldn't go too far; it was already good enough to dampen Luo Hao's arrogance. "Tell me, why did you have to argue with the old American about 4+4?"

"That's true." Luo Hao nodded with some difficulty. "With prolonged peace, academic cliques have gradually taken shape. Director Chen, guess where the most academic cliques are?"

"Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where else could it be? From ancient times to the present, they've all been the same."

“That’s true, Bo Ning has the most academicians. I’ve been there; a friend took me to see Wen Yuan’s house.”

"Who is that?" Chen Yan asked, puzzled.

Luo Hao quickly changed the subject, "You know about the Renyin Palace Coup, right?"

"I know, Jiajing said he used menstrual blood to refine elixirs and was almost strangled to death by more than a dozen palace maids. His personality changed drastically afterward."

"Hey, that has nothing to do with it. It was all said by the Qing dynasty to smear the Ming dynasty. I heard from the boss that after the Renyin Palace Incident... Director Chen, I have a question for you."

"You said."

"When the emperor was assassinated and the empress opened the palace gates, who was the first person to enter the palace to protect him?"

“It must be the Embroidered Uniform Guard. It should be that guy surnamed Lu, who was said to be Jiajing’s childhood playmate,” Chen Yan replied.

He had long forgotten the name Lu Bing.

But it was inevitable that the Embroidered Uniform Guard would be the first to enter the palace to deal with such a catastrophic event; what else is there to ask?

"No, it was Wen Yuan, the Minister of Justice, who went to the palace first. After arriving, he immediately killed all the palace maids."

"oh?!"

That's interesting, Chen Yan thought to himself, taking a moment to pause.

How could he not understand the trickery involved?

"It's just that a royal physician saved Jiajing's life, but later, that physician died mysteriously not long after."

"?!"

Chen Yan quickly sorted out many things, but also thought of many other things.

“It’s all the same; human nature has never changed from ancient times to the present.” Luo Hao sighed. “Let’s not talk about others, just talk about me.”

"what happened to you?"

"If I have food to eat in the future, would I be willing to give these people around me porridge? You agree, right?"

Chen Yan felt envious, glanced at Chen Yong and Liu Yiyi, and nodded.

"So, that's it. There are many things that shouldn't be thought about too deeply. I'm just an ordinary person; I can't think too much, nor can I do too much."

Chen Yan laughed. Xiao Luo's mood was indeed not very high. It seemed that Principal Wang's 4+4 program was an attempt to copy the recommendation system in the United States, where one could do this or that with just a letter of recommendation.

How much less hassle is that?

"Surgery, surgery!" Luo Hao called out to Chen Yan as soon as Liu Yiyi gave him a hand signal.

The two went to wash their hands.

Chen Yan leaned close to Luo Hao's ear and whispered, "Xiao Luo, is that thing about the thoracic surgery department at Peking Union Medical College Hospital true or false?"

"Sigh." Luo Hao sighed. "Director Chen, to be honest, I don't know either."

"..."

"But she didn't do her residency training at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, so there must be something wrong. I guess it's true. I heard that Professor Dong from 912 was furious, but that was before I graduated. I was just observing from the sidelines."

"Anything else?" Chen Yan asked, intrigued.

Luo Hao shook his head. "Back then, I was just an eight-year PhD student. How could I know so much?"

Chen Yan suddenly realized how perfectly timed the events were, and a thought struck him: "Could it be that someone snatched your spot at Peking Union Medical College Hospital?!"

In an instant, all the illogical things became explained.

Luo Hao paused for a moment, then looked at Chen Yan helplessly.

"Xiao Luo, were you upset back then?" Chen Yan's hand trembled slightly, and he looked like he wanted to help Luo Hao vent his anger.

"I...no one dares to bully me," Luo Hao said helplessly.

You guessed wrong?!

"Surgery, surgery." Luo Hao finished washing his hands and came to the door of the operating room, sticking his butt out with his back to the operating room.

"I have no idea who designed this thing; it's absolutely inhumane," Luo Hao complained.

"They say the more skilled a surgeon is, the more perky their buttocks will be," Chen Yan laughed. "Xiao Luo, is that why you didn't choose surgery?"

"Sigh." Luo Hao seemed to have thought of something and sighed deeply.

Chen Yan was puzzled.

But he didn't ask. Xiao Luo seemed to have something on his mind today, but Chen Yan didn't believe that Luo Hao's low mood was due to the kind of melancholy sentimentality that surgical nurses sometimes express.

Once on the operating table, Luo Hao's mood improved significantly. He almost instantly entered a state of "flow" and began the surgery with a serious and focused attitude.

The surgery was quick and went very smoothly.

Although the stone fetus had been inside his abdomen for over thirty years and was severely adhered and calcified, it was still no big deal for Luo Hao and Chen Yan when they joined forces.

In less than an hour, the stone core had been removed.

Rinse with warm saline solution, check the location of the bleeding for any active bleeding, and a sound is heard.

As the saying goes, a man is a boy until he dies.

"Chen Yong, answer this phone for me," Luo Hao said.

Chen Yong took his phone out of Luo Hao's pants pocket. "It's Director Qian."

Luo Hao's face instantly fell, which Chen Yan saw clearly.

"Little Conch Shell, about that patient with the stone fetus you mentioned, let's have the surgery done remotely. I'll organize people to watch the surgery from here," Director Qian said cheerfully.

Even through the phone, Chen Yan could hear Director Qian's enthusiastic energy.

A shooting star flashed through Chen Yan's mind—so that's how it is!

Luo Hao couldn't resist the urge and just went ahead and performed the surgery!
So he had been worried about Director Qian, and now that person had called and come to his door.

"Director Qian, the stone implant has just been removed."

"Oh, get ready over there. When will the equipment from Panggezhuang arrive? I've already spoken to Director Ye, so everything... wait, what did you say?" Director Qian was still talking to himself when he suddenly paused.

Then Chen Yan heard Director Qian cursing Luo Hao.

For a full five minutes, Director Qian was still acting aggressively.

"Director Qian, the patient is in abdominal pain and can't wait any longer," Luo Hao explained.

"Bullshit! We've been waiting for over thirty years for a stone fetus, and you're telling me we can't even wait a few hours at the hospital?" Director Qian started cursing Luo Hao again.

Chen Yan chuckled as he rinsed the wound with warm saline solution, not in a hurry to end the surgery. He had rarely seen Luo Hao suffer a setback, and today he had truly witnessed it firsthand.

Another five minutes later.

"Director Qian, didn't you already have a stone fetus?" Luo Hao said helplessly.

"I was all ready to try out your new remote surgery equipment, and you're telling me you've already finished it?!"

The mute tone automatically sounded in Chen Yan's ear, and after an unknown amount of time, Chen Yong finally hung up the phone.

"Luo Hao, really, if you don't want Director Qian to do it, then don't tell him," Chen Yong laughed.

“The boss isn’t home, is he? Of all the people who went with the boss to perform the stone fetus surgery back then, only Director Qian is left. I can’t just blindly perform the surgery without asking him.” Luo Hao was also quite helpless. “Remote surgery? Didn’t Director Qian do it before?” Chen Yan focused on the key point.

Luo Hao explained the progress of remote surgical equipment, especially the external 4K large screen, which amazed Chen Yan.

"Xiao Luo, is technology advancing this fast these days?" Chen Yan asked a question that Luo Hao had heard countless times before.

"Director Chen," Luo Hao smiled, "you know about Tieba, right?"

"I know, I used to go there often, and it's still there."

"The moderator of the Chemistry forum was a rich man, the kind who had his own lab at home." Luo Hao completely ignored the question about whether Huang had a relationship or not, and instead said directly, "Later, he was doing experiments at home when he got blown up."

"Fuck me!"

"There's another explosion, right? The bishop is making a thermobaric bomb by hand."

"!!!"

"!!!"

"!!!"

The operating room was quiet.

"It's not uncommon to see people on Tieba teaching how to make fish and electromagnetic guns. Apparently, electromagnetic guns are classified and have been banned by the government."

"Uh……"

"With nine years of compulsory education, as long as you follow it in a mediocre way, you can put the knowledge taught in online forums into practice. If you have strong hands-on skills, you can even make it yourself. It just depends on how strong your hands-on skills are... but chemistry is an example."

"how?"

"The everyday items sold in the supermarket could be used to make explosives based on knowledge from chemistry forums, so it's best to be cautious."

Chen Yan was skeptical.

"I used to browse a forum called 'NoFap'," the anesthesiologist said. "Watching live streams of self-castration was fucking exciting."

Does quitting pornography have to be this thorough?

"Who knew, I stopped going after that, it was too scary."

"Yeah, I saw someone in the chemistry forum making corpse-dissolving liquid by hand and even doing experiments with pig's trotters, and the results were great," Luo Hao added.

A large number of ordinary people who receive education... Chen Yan's thoughts drifted to the other side of the sky.

Back then, Baidu Tieba was incredibly wild.

The mere thought of live-streaming self-castration silenced everyone; no one even felt like joking anymore.

It was better a few years ago when mobile internet was just emerging. Back then, regulations weren't strict, and you could see a lot of content.

For example, Professor Luo mentioned this live-streamed self-castration.

"And then?" the anesthesiologist murmured.

"There was no 'later'. I rarely browse Tieba, I only remember a few things," Luo Hao said. "Like the moderator of the Explosion Bar who made explosives and killed himself, like the NoFap Bar who live-streamed self-castration, and I think there was also someone in the Car Friends Bar who bought a BYD F0."

“I know!” The anesthesiologist immediately became interested. “He posted a picture of his girlfriend along with the photos, and I still have that picture saved.”

As he spoke, he took out his phone and started looking through photos.

A beautiful and charming figure appeared beside the simple BYD F0.

"You should really be sent to a 'NoFap' club." The circulating nurse glanced at you, quite admiring, but still made a sarcastic remark.

"That's not it. There are countless beautiful women online, but this one is different," the anesthesiologist said.

"What's different? She has four eyes?"

"It was posted on the forum, and everyone was amazed. Later, an Audi owner took notice and, through various details, found out the BYD owner's information and stole his girlfriend away."

"Holy crap! Is this even human?" The anesthesia nurse exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, that's it." Luo Hao smiled. "I was thinking of posting something before, since I'm still young. But then I just browsed and didn't comment. The netizens are just too scary."

"Huh?" The scrub nurse paused for a moment. "It doesn't seem like anything. I heard from Sister Li that there was a car accident more than ten years ago. The snow was heavy and the roads were slippery. A BYD F0 couldn't stop in time and ran over an old man who had fallen."

“In today’s world, this would be a major emergency. But that F0 machine was too light, and it only caused multiple rib fractures on both sides of the patient.”

Luo Hao smiled.

The BYD F0 was indeed too light. At that time, it was still in its early stages and used a low price to capture the market.

Unlike now, BYD has its own insurance company, promising to assume full responsibility if there are any problems with its automatic parking system.

More than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye; comparing the past and present feels like a dream.

The two main players at the time—BYD and Audi—are now close to being acquired.

The stone embryo was successfully removed.

Chen Yan was extremely satisfied with the surgery. After stepping off the operating table, he twirled the hair on his chest and had his doctors take a picture. This surgery would be enough to publish at least two papers.

Before Xiao Luo came, publishing a top-tier SCI paper was just a dream. It's fine to dream, but if someone takes it seriously, it's a sign of low intelligence.

But now.

Chen Yan even felt that two papers were not enough.

"Director Chen."

Luo Hao appeared beside Chen Yan at some point and spoke in a low voice.

"What's wrong, Xiao Luo? What are you up to, sneaking around like that?" Chen Yan laughed. "Could it be that that old dog Shen Zi is still thinking of throwing a graduation banquet? We won't allow it now."

"No, no, the government has repeatedly prohibited graduation banquets. What I meant was that the patient is a recipient of the Five Guarantees, so could you please help take care of him/her?"

"Hey, it's nothing, don't worry," Chen Yan said with a smile. "Even if I want to spend a little more money, she has to be able to afford it."

Luo Hao laughed, but didn't continue talking about it. Instead, he chuckled and gossiped, "My family in 912 said that the wind is even stronger in the army when you can't eat at banquets."

"Oh?"

“A while ago, two people were hospitalized together and insisted on staying in the same ward. According to their levels, they could have had private rooms.”

"!!!"

Chen Yan was taken aback.

Those who are qualified and capable of staying in a single room in 912 are truly impressive; I certainly can't.

“They were survivors of the Southern Xinjiang Assault Company back then, and they all rose to high ranks. They fought together, and came down from the mountains of corpses, so their relationship was naturally special. They’ve kept in touch for many years, but not anymore.”

"Isn't this okay?"

"Yes, they won't even let us eat at their house, let alone at a restaurant," Luo Hao gossiped.

The idea of ​​saving money for the elderly living alone has already vanished like smoke.

"This……"

"I remember a teacher once said something about overcorrection, but I don't really understand it," Luo Hao said. "Anyway, Director Shen is unlikely to hold a graduation banquet, but Shen Yiming is certainly living up to expectations."

"Old Shen is really lucky," the circulating nurse said while she was busy. "Old Sun's child in our department only scored 300 points on the college entrance exam. Although the college entrance exam scores are low in Jiangbei Province, 300 points is still not enough to get into a bachelor's degree program, so he went to a vocational college."

“That’s because she’s stupid,” Chen Yan said, twirling a hair on his chest.

"Director Chen, it's the child's problem, okay?"

“In a hospital, this is no big deal,” Chen Yan said. “300 points. Go to the hospital, make a scene, threaten suicide, and you’ll definitely get into our medical university.”

"!!!"

"!!!"

These words stunned even Luo Hao.

However, upon closer reflection, it is indeed possible, and the possibility is not small.

"Study medicine?" The circulating nurse's eyes lit up immediately; she seemed to be having a splitting headache over her own child's school admissions.

Upon hearing Chen Yan bring up this topic, he immediately perked up and was no longer sleepy.

“A score of around 300 definitely won’t get you into medicine. Things are much stricter now. Do you think this is 30 years ago?” Chen Yan scoffed. “You should study nursing.”

"Sigh." The circulating nurse sighed, looking listless.

"What a blockhead! Go to school first, then we'll talk about other things."

"What else can I say?" The circulating nurse's eyes had lost their light.

"Join the army! Undergraduates who join the army can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan after a few years of service, and they can also choose a major."

"What else is going on?!"

"Yes." Luo Hao nodded seriously, his mood somewhat strange.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yan connected two completely unrelated things and they actually became a channel.

“Xiao Luo, you graduated from Peking Union Medical College with an eight-year program, you know what Beijing is like.” Chen Yan smiled, not thinking there was anything wrong with what he said. “300 points, that’s not low. Go back to the 'furnace' for some more training, and you’ll be fine as a grassroots doctor when you come back.”

"Yes, yes, yes," Luo Hao said with a smile.

"Director Chen, please explain it to me in detail." The circulating nurse immediately took it to heart.

Chen Yan glanced at her. "You're all 'you' when you need me, and all 'you' when you don't?"

"Director Chen, Director Chen, please don't do this." The circulating nurse was immediately flustered.

"Slow down, count first, I'll wait for you." Chen Yan was just joking.

If, in the rush, a pair of scissors were accidentally inserted into the patient's abdomen, that would be a disaster. Although Chen Yan knew there wasn't one, he still had to count and double-check.

He and Luo Hao chatted idly in the operating room. After the patient was taken off the operating room, the circulating nurse, before she could tidy up, went to ask Chen Yan for advice on related issues.

Chen Yan didn't hold back and explained to her who she should go to in the courtyard.

After all, it's an affiliated hospital of a medical university. Even if you break a bone, the tendons are still connected. Getting a nursing job with a score of 300 shouldn't be a problem.

Chen Yan laid out the plan step by step, making it crystal clear for everyone.

Luo Hao had mixed feelings, but he didn't say anything.

People who live near mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near water live off the water—that's the norm. If I were to say something inappropriate at this time, there would be no point in doing any work afterwards.

Oh well, this is just blending in with the world.

“When you’re in school, don’t forget to ask Xiao Chen for help.” Chen Yan twirled his chest hair, quite pleased with himself, and pulled Luo Hao into the conversation as well. “A few low-quality SCI papers shouldn’t be a problem. If you have a good relationship with him… you can go directly to Lao Liu.”

"!!!"

"Look, I've shown you the whole road to success. When the time comes, your child will have a few SCI papers and coming to our medical university won't be a big problem, right? And after that, you can ask any uncle or elder for help, and they'll all give you some face."

"!!!"

“You can’t help with anything more than that.” Chen Yan stood up, and the circulating nurse was moved to tears. “Director Chen, thank you, thank you.”

"There's no need to thank me. I'm just pointing you in the right direction. Whether you can actually do it depends on yourself. Don't underestimate Lao Liu. It's extremely difficult for medical school undergraduates to stay on campus."

Luo Hao saw the circulating nurse staring at him intently and fled in panic.

(End of this chapter)
