Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 140 Return to Kyoto (Subscription Request)

The first thing Zhou Yanqing did when he returned to the rental house was to deal with his accommodation order information and related information of the high-speed rail ticket.

The private training class lasts for five days, starting on Tuesday and ending on Wednesday.

That is, from January 1th to January 12th.

January 1th was a Saturday, and Zhou Yanqing booked the hotel a month in advance. He bought the high-speed rail tickets as soon as they went on sale.

After confirming the time and place, Zhou Yanqing checked the itinerary details that had just arrived in his mailbox today.

The name of this private training class is "Advanced Training Class on Peripheral Nerve Injury". It only states that the supporting institution is Jishuitan Hospital, but there is no specific professor as the lecturer.

Of course, the fact that it was not announced in advance does not mean that it is not included in the small class schedule sent to Zhou Yanqing.

They are all heavyweights.

Professor Chen Xiang is the main person in charge of the training class. Professor Chen Xiang is also the administrative director of Jishuitan Hand Surgery Hospital. He is an absolute giant in the field of hand surgery in the country.

The hospital's clinical technology, theoretical accumulation, and scientific research innovation are all at the highest level in the country.

Secondly, Professor Teng Qinghe, Professor Liu Guowei, Professor Lu Pingshan, etc. are all big names in domestic hand surgery.

'Tuesday from 10:00 am to 17:00 pm, go through the registration procedures and receive the corresponding theoretical materials.'

"Wednesday morning 09:00-11:30, New Interpretation of Regional Anatomy of Peripheral Nerves, Instructor: Professor Chen Xiang."

"Wednesday afternoon..."

After Zhou Yanqing looked at these courses arranged one by one, he felt a little moved.

The words on the screen seemed to be like sensitive ants crawling towards Zhou Yanqing, and according to his nerves, they made his entire body itch.

Zhou Yanqing was the only one in his rental house, so it was very quiet and there were no other sounds to disturb his joy and fantasy.

People who are not hand surgeons may not be able to appreciate Zhou Yanqing's fun.

But when it comes to passing down any technique or kung fu, the most frightening thing is that there is no one to teach, and the most frightening thing is that one's own knowledge is limited, and people think they are invincible.

Not all information found online can be self-taught.

Many of the things brought to this private training class are basically the accumulation and precipitation of hand surgery, and are Jishuitan Hospital’s personal understanding of cutting-edge research.

“Most medical theories and doctrines are open and transparent, but every hospital has its own research frontiers that have not yet been systematized.”

"The orthopedics and hand surgery departments of Jishuitan Hospital are the best in the country, so they have their own unique features, which outsiders cannot learn even if they want to."

After reading it, Zhou Yanqing murmured softly.

Just at this time, Chen Yu sent a message asking Zhou Yanqing if he wanted to go out for a midnight snack today.

Today is Saturday. After Zhou Yanqing goes to Kyoto, he will start his ascetic life of coexistence of "experiments and clinical practice".

Therefore, Chen Yu sent an invitation on the last weekend.

"Sure. I have some good news for you. What would you like to eat for midnight snack? Pick one?"

"If we can't choose, we will choose one by one according to the convention." Zhou Yanqing asked proactively.

In fact, the best arrangement is that Zhou Yanqing gives the options, and Zhou Yanqing will make a strategy some time before, but this time Zhou Yanqing really doesn’t have time.

"Shall we go eat steak? Is that okay?" Chen Yu asked.

Zhou Yanqing had never eaten steak with Chen Yu, but in Zhou Yanqing's memory, steak was really not to his taste.

Of course, since the last gathering, Zhou Yanqing had "ignored" Chen Yu again, and this time he couldn't refuse no matter what.

Zhou Yanqing has spent almost all of his free time in recent times running around with Professor Tan Zhongyu.

"Of course. Let me ask where the steak is better." Zhou Yanqing planned to ask Liu Wanqing and other senior brothers.

Or Brother Ning Zhu, they have all studied abroad, so they should be familiar with this dish. If there are delicious steaks in Shashi, they should know about it.

"Just sweet pepper, it's relatively affordable. The taste and texture are still good."

"There should be others as well, but they are quite expensive and not really worth it," Chen Yu suggested.

"Then just listen to you."

"I've been quite busy lately and haven't had time to take care of these things. You should have made a lot of strategies, right?" Zhou Yanqing was also happy to have some free time.

This time I am going to Kyoto to study the core direction of my career, which is a big deal no matter how you look at it.

……

To be honest, people who are not familiar with Western food will find that the atmosphere of Western food is quite good.

The light from three red candles, one high and two flat, made Chen Yu's face look red. Under the dim light, it seemed as if Chen Yu's slightly chubby face was the only thing left in the entire restaurant.

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Are you sure you want to eat it 90% done? The meat is a bit old."

"It's for eating anyway. I'm afraid it won't be cooked thoroughly and I won't be able to eat it."

"Xiao Yu, you've eaten this many times before, right?" Zhou Yanqing asked.

Chen Yu shook his head gently, then put the phone box on the table and looked Zhou Yanqing in the eye but remained calm: "No, I rarely come here. Usually, my cousin only treats me to a meal when he passes by Shashi occasionally."

"When I was studying, I didn't have so much pocket money. After I graduated from college and started working, I didn't have any friends who could accompany me to eat."

"They all went to other places. My colleagues in the unit were either busy with their own things or had ulterior motives."

Chen Yu then looked around nervously, and then lowered his voice and said, "Zhou Yanqing, I'm going to tell you a secret. Don't blame me for killing a bunch of people with one blow."

"Some of my former classmates, the male students who studied Chinese language and literature, were more or less feminine."

"Also, some of the boys who teach in primary schools are quite stubborn."

“So I don’t like to interact with them.”

"Oh!~" Zhou Yanqing could understand this mentality.

Then he laughed and said, "In fact, I also think that the girls around me who can persist in studying medicine are all terrible. If there are any disagreements in the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to win the argument with them."

Chen Yu heard this and said in a more delicate voice: "Do you still think you can win by reasoning?"

Zhou Yanqing sighed twice and then didn't continue the topic.

……

In a blink of an eye, another two days passed.

Zhou Yanqing handed over his work in the department in advance, asked for leave from his teacher and brother Ning Zhu, and then took his luggage to take the subway.

It's very early.

Zhou Yanqing ate noodles at six o'clock. The high-speed train at 8:20 is expected to arrive in the afternoon.

Time was a bit delayed, but Zhou Yanqing still reserved Sunday night to go to the movies with Chen Yu.

There were already quite a few people on the first subway, but there was still an empty seat after Zhou Yanqing got on.

After transferring to Line 2, Zhou Yanqing only had to wait to get off at the high-speed railway station, which was relatively convenient...

At 2:54 p.m. in the afternoon, Zhou Yanqing was the third person to arrive at the hand surgery department to sign in.

There were five of us, so the check-in procedure was not very complicated. "Hello, Mr. Zhou, have you booked accommodation? If not, we can recommend a hotel for you."

The two doctors in charge of signing in and printing briefs asked Zhou Yanqing very politely and did not look down on him because of his young age.

This time, something went wrong with the 'Advanced Training Course'.

It was originally a small class for attending associate chief physicians, but in the end a doctoral student emerged as a success.

And it worked.

This incident was extremely surprising even in the field of hand surgery.

A PhD can be very outstanding and have very good qualifications, but there is generally a limit.

It would be amazing if a senior could skip one or two years while studying for a doctorate.

The seniors here are also from hospitals of the same level as Jishuitan Hospital, but it would be too scary for them to get down to the level of attending physician while still a PhD student.

Medicine is an experiential discipline. The older and more experienced a doctor is, the more experience he or she has. This is the basis of a doctor's wealth and strength.

"Thank you, I have already booked it."

"You can just call me by my name Zhou Yanqing."

"After I sign and receive all the information, can I go back to the hotel and wait for class tomorrow?" Zhou Yanqing asked the two doctors.

"Sure, sure." The doctor who was in charge of signing and verifying names and identity information nodded first, then spread out the documents in his hand.

"We have a nutritious canteen here. Teacher, you can use this card to eat for free."

"Of course, teacher, you can also eat outside."

As he spoke, he grinned, with his thick lips standing out particularly prominently. With his tall and strong build, he looked like an exceptionally docile sheep at the moment.

"Okay, thank you." Zhou Yanqing took the card and left.

But Zhou Yanqing would not eat at the nutritious restaurant either.

If Zhou Yanqing was penniless now, he would definitely eat if there was free food, but Zhou Yanqing still has a little financial ability now, so of course he would choose to eat better.

……

After Zhou Yanqing left, the two brothers at the registration office started talking.

The younger one was a fat man with fair skin, a slightly plump figure, and black-framed glasses. At this moment, his expression flickered: "Brother, I just paid special attention to this Zhou Yanqing."

"He's about our age."

"Tell me, how did Zhou Yanqing manage to get into that circle while still a PhD student?"

The circle that Fatty mentioned is a circle exclusive to his superiors, a circle that is capable of performing live surgeries, and has mastered conventional surgical techniques to perfection.

Before reaching this step, there is definitely no need to think about coming here to 'screen'.

Different things are done by people of different ages.

The senior brother was in charge of signing in. He was also thinking hard with his eyes closed. He pursed his thick lips seven or eight times before speaking: "How can I do this? I can't explain it clearly now."

"What makes the superiors in the department even more upset is that Zhou Yanqing has come to our hospital for retests many times before, but he failed every time."

"Now Zhou Yanqing is here to study in this capacity again. This is very awkward, you know?"

The fat man nodded slightly when he heard this: "Then?"

"What to do now?"

The senior brother said, "What can you do now? Others already have teachers, universities and institutions where they can study for their doctorates. No matter how outstanding they are, you can only watch them."

"It's even possible that if Zhou Yanqing introduces himself in the future and says that he was abandoned by our hospital, you will be labeled as someone who doesn't know how to identify people. You can only accept it."

"As long as Zhou Yanqing doesn't exaggerate, he has the right to tell the truth about what he encountered."

"Alas!~"

"Is Zhou Yanqing really that powerful?!"

The fat junior brother said: "So does that mean he was picked up by someone else?"

"Forget it..."

The thick-lipped senior brother said, "Forget it, let's not discuss this issue. If our superiors hear about it, we will be criticized."

"Wouldn't it be nice to just watch the show quietly?"

The fat man just dropped the topic.

……

Zhou Yanqing didn't know all this, and even if he knew what they were discussing, he wouldn't take it seriously.

I, Zhou Yanqing, came here to study without stealing or robbing, and it's not shameful at all. I'm not doing this to embarrass others or to return home in glory.

After getting the information, Zhou Yanqing immediately hid in the hotel and started reading.

Zhou Yanqing was so engrossed in watching it that he forgot to eat dinner. Finally, Chen Yu invited him to have a video call, and Zhou Yanqing remembered that he had not eaten dinner yet, so he ordered a takeaway.

"Is the information provided by Jishuitan Hospital so attractive? Can it make you forget to eat?" Chen Yu was angry and amused.

In this era, it is rare to find a nerd like Zhou Yanqing who is so dedicated to his studies that he forgets to eat and sleep.

If Zhou Yanqing wasn't pretending, then he really was a bit 'stupidly cute'.

"Many things are quite novel, so others are like Jishuitan, and Huaqing Kyoto University is like orthopedics?"

“This advanced training course is aimed at outstanding teachers, so the theoretical content provided is very rich.”

“Basically there’s no nonsense, it’s all solid stuff.”

"I can only cover one-third of the story this time. I will have to digest a lot of it slowly after I go back."

"Peripheral nerve injury belongs to..." Zhou Yanqing and Chen Yu explained slowly.

In fact, Chen Yu didn't understand anything at all, but she was happy to listen and was willing to be a quiet bystander to Zhou Yanqing's complaints.

"I'm sorry, I accidentally said too much." Zhou Yanqing smiled awkwardly and returned the subject.

“It doesn’t matter. Reviewing the old knowledge can help you learn new things. When you share things with others, you will also learn or understand something new and different.”

"I don't know much about your medicine, but if you can cure diseases that others can't, your existence itself is a kind of charm." Chen Yu tried to understand what Zhou Yanqing said in a layman's way.

"Everyone thinks so, but it is almost impossible to achieve this in this era. The research and clinical progress of many large teams are almost synchronized."

"The span of each step is not very big. Even if you develop something new, others can use it."

"So the possibility that you can cure a disease that no one else can cure is very small." Zhou Yanqing shook his head and explained.

"Then change the scope and try to cure the diseases that most people cannot cure." Chen Yu's voice was very sweet. She supported herself on the chair with her hands, sitting on the back of her hands, and looked at Zhou Yanqing sincerely.

Zhou Yanqing said yes, and then said: "Xiaoyu, you should rest first. We have clinical and theoretical classes tomorrow. I have to prepare in advance and go to bed early..."
