Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 156 Identity Change (Subscription Request)

Chen Yu's relatives are rich and generous.

Zhou Yanqing was sure of this after counting the red envelopes.

However, Zhou Yanqing did not ponder for long.

After the New Year, when I arrived in the county town, whether it was with Chen Yu or old classmates, I always had to make an appointment.

Tonight, Chen Yu made an appointment with her high school classmates to have a barbecue, and Zhou Yanqing also had another appointment.

"Zhou Yanqing, have you finished your side? I've arrived and sent you the place." Pang Junfeng sent a message.

Pang Junfeng was Zhou Yanqing's high school classmate and one of Zhou Yanqing's best friends. He also studied medicine.

Two years ago, my mother told me that one of her classmates went to work at the town hospital, and that person was Pang Junfeng.

"I'll be right there, wait a moment." Zhou Yanqing replied as he took out the hotel room card.

"It's just you and me today, right?" Zhou Yanqing asked.

"Then who else could it be? If Han Fei doesn't come, who else can we invite? It would be awkward even if he comes." Pang Junfeng responded directly.

Zhou Yanqing had two good friends in high school, Pang Junfeng and Han Fei.

Han Fei has already started a family and currently has a son and a daughter. I heard that after graduating from a second-tier university, he went out to work for a while, and now he has returned home to run a small business with his family.

Pang Junfeng called Han Fei, but Han Fei was still busy visiting his father-in-law, so he was not available today.

Pang Junfeng is the same age as Zhou Yanqing. He had a girlfriend, but now no one knows where his girlfriend is.

After Zhou Yanqing closed the door, he thought carefully about what Pang Junfeng said and felt that it made sense.

If they weren't close friends, it would indeed make the situation more awkward.

When Zhou Yanqing took a taxi to the mutton hotpot restaurant that Pang Junfeng had sent the message about, he saw the bespectacled Pang Junfeng at first sight.

He is of medium height, about 1.75 meters, slightly shorter than Zhou Yanqing.

But he used to be skinny, but now his figure has become fat and his handsome face also looks a little chubby as he gained weight.

Zhou Yanqing didn't dare to recognize him at first, and circled around Pang Junfeng: "Fuck, are you sure you are Fengzi?"

Pang Junfeng smiled back awkwardly and touched his belly: "You've gained some weight, but your appearance hasn't changed, right?"

"Zhou Yanqing, you haven't changed much. You still look very young, but your skin doesn't seem to be as good as before."

Zhou Yanqing sat down with Pang Junfeng and said, "If you stay up late every day, do you still care about your skin?"

"Have you ordered? Two or three pounds? I can tell you very clearly that I didn't eat enough tonight."

When with Pang Junfeng, Zhou Yanqing was in a completely relaxed state of mind, even though they hadn't seen each other for so many years.

"Boss, add another pound." Pang Junfeng shouted directly.

Then he said, "Zhou Yanqing, then you can order some more vegetarian dishes."

The mutton hotpot here is neither the kind of shabu-shabu mutton nor the soup pot of mutton with skin, but a flavored hotpot made from mutton balls.

It suits Zhou Yanqing's taste very well.

"Just order any side dishes."

Zhou Yanqing drew a picture of enoki mushrooms and a bowl of radish, then handed the menu to Pang Junfeng: "Fengzi, why are you so fat? How good is your life over there?"

Pang Junfeng also sketched a kelp seedling that he liked to eat, and then shook his head and said, "MD, I drink and eat every day in the town, and I basically have no time to rest."

"Guess how much it costs for four people to have a meal there?"

"Twenty-five per person, with free meals, and we can have hotpot every day. People in our department eat there almost every day."

"I don't drink at noon, but I have to drink a little in the afternoon. The key is that the director also does this..."

"I've been there for two years, and I've only had one serious study meeting. The rest of the time, I was either chatting nonsense or eating," Pang Junfeng complained helplessly.

"Aren't there many patients?" Zhou Yanqing asked.

"How many patients? Our director would like to pick up a few people from the street to be hospitalized. Nowadays, anyone with a little financial ability will go to the county hospital."

"The obstetrics department of our hospital has been demolished. Currently, only the basic departments of surgery, internal medicine, gynecology and pediatrics are left. The surgery department can only perform two operations."

"One was for appendicitis, and the other was for a cholecystectomy. All the broken bones were sent directly to the county."

"Our director wanted to do it, but after trying it a few times before, he didn't dare to try it again easily..."

"But even so, having an appendectomy removed is like celebrating Chinese New Year."

Zhou Yanqing had thought that working in a township hospital would be very time-consuming, but he did not expect it to be this exhausting.

Then he asked, "So you don't have any patients in your department normally?"

"Yes, we provide intravenous drips for minor injuries. Patients from large hospitals who are worried after being discharged come to our department for intravenous drips."

“Patients who are discharged from big hospitals come to us to change their dressings.”

"Also, let's try conservative treatment for kidney stones..."

"Oh, no, some people found out it was a cyst after having a biopsy done in a big hospital."

"Some people come to our hospital for surgery occasionally, and I only perform two or three surgeries on them." Pang Junfeng said after shaking his head and complaining.

"Don't talk about me."

"What about you?"

"I heard that you have obtained a doctorate?" Pang Junfeng's face was full of envy.

After the decision is made, the difference has already been revealed, and it is useless to regret it now.

At the beginning, Pang Junfeng did not choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination for the second time, but went directly for regular training. In fact, he should have considered the current results early on.

"Yes, I'm a PhD student and I go to the lab every day."

"I didn't perform many surgeries. During my doctoral studies, the most important thing was to do scientific research and improve my basic scientific research level." Zhou Yanqing shared his key points.

For others, professional skills are equally important.

However, Zhou Yanqing’s current professional skills are almost enough to make him an associate professor.

If we only talk about professional skills, Zhou Yanqing can lie down in Xiangya Hospital.

"Scientific research, what a high-end word." Pang Junfeng twisted the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Yanqing immediately said, "Don't be sarcastic, I'm just complaining to you. If I have to be cautious when talking to you, then I will have to hold back everything in the future."

Pang Junfeng nodded and motioned Zhou Yanqing to continue.

"It's actually quite tiring. I've forgotten how long it's been since I had a good night's sleep."

"Sometimes I feel like I can't roll anymore, but everyone around me is rolling, so I can only be forced to roll." Zhou Yanqing sighed softly.

Pang Junfeng grinned: "Who can be blamed for this?"

"Wanting to lie down but not daring to do so, only mediocre people will cause trouble for themselves."

Pang Junfeng's tone was carefree, but his eyes were actually filled with envy. Zhou Yanqing felt tired now, but Pang Junfeng had no such opportunity at all.

The two then talked about Han Fei. Zhou Yanqing and Pang Junfeng both envied and complained about Han Fei, thinking that Han Fei got married too early and had a family at such a young age.

It’s not convenient to go out and play.

However, deep down, Chinese people prefer to have a warmer family and have one or two children...

"Fengzi, can you pass the exam to get into the county? Do you have a chance?" Zhou Yanqing asked while raising his beer glass.

Pang Junfeng nodded and shook his head: "There is a chance to be transferred, but this is a game that only powerful people can play, me?"

"I guess I'll just have to live out my retirement in this town for the rest of my life."

"I won't starve to death, but everything else will be out of my reach."

Pang Junfeng was still drunk, his entire face and neck were red. "Are you talking about when we just graduated from high school?"

"I seem to have forgotten what I said at that time. Anyway, I always felt that I must go out and make a name for myself in the future."

"But now, only Yanqing can do this. We."

"Most of them are forced to do so because of life. They still have to keep their jobs and not slack off."

People do not have so many opportunities to choose in their lifetime. One choice can shape your entire life.

"The taste of this mutton restaurant is pretty good, right?" Pang Junfeng asked, and suddenly stood up.

He looked at the door a few times and confirmed the identity of the person who came. Then he looked at Zhou Yanqing hesitantly and made a decisive decision.

"Yanqing, an acquaintance of mine came. Please sit for a while. I'll go over to say hello..." Pang Junfeng then pushed his glasses and walked towards the door without waiting for Zhou Yanqing's reply.

I tried hard to introduce myself to someone in the crowd with a smile: "Director Xu, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."

The visitor also knew Pang Junfeng, but it seemed that he only had an impression of him and didn't have much memory: "Oh, come over to eat, are you eating here too?"

“This one tastes pretty good.”

Pang Junfeng said: "Yes, Director Xu, my classmates and I come here often, almost every time we meet."

Pang Junfeng said this while pointing towards Zhou Yanqing.

The person who came casually glanced in the direction Pang Junfeng pointed, and after a quick glance, he quickly turned back.

After staring at Zhou Yanqing seriously, he tried to close his eyes, but was still not sure, so he patted the little brother standing next to him.

Xu Long asked: "Xiao Huangping, look over there, is that Doctor Zhou?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Huangping, who was talking to Director Jin Renhai, turned his head and immediately replied awkwardly, "Director Xu, Director Jin, Doctor Zhou is there."

Xiao Huangping was the only person who could clearly see Zhou Yanqing's entire appearance, while Xu Long could only see Zhou Yanqing's eyebrows.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked over at the same time.

Now it was Pang Junfeng's turn to stand there stupidly.

I still don't understand what happened in this scene.

However, seeing this, Zhou Yanqing also knew that he had to stand up.

No matter what, Chen Yu's uncle was able to undergo a successful operation, and Xiao Huangping and Xu Long both helped a lot.

Hengnan County is so small that encounters are very normal.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Xu." Zhou Yanqing greeted them as he walked over.

Xu Long quickly introduced Zhou Yanqing to the director of the department, Jin Renhai. Jin Renhai was the only person with a senior professional title in the department and was also the director of the orthopedics department.

The orthopedics department in Hengnan County is divided into two wards, one mainly deals with trauma, and the other mainly deals with spinal surgery and bone diseases.

After some greetings, Pang Junfeng was unable to get a word in.

Jin Renhai and other five people came for a small gathering of the department after the New Year, and they came out to have a drink together.

"Doctor Zhou, there are only two of you, how about we share a table?"

"After the last operation, I didn't have the chance to thank you properly." Director Jin Renhai was still very delicate.

Zhou Yanqing was able to dispatch an associate chief physician from the First Affiliated Hospital of Hengda University in a short period of time, and he performed the operation himself.

This requires connections, resources, and abilities.

Pang Junfeng's eyes almost popped out, and he really hoped that Zhou Yanqing would agree.

However, Zhou Yanqing still shook his head and declined in front of Pang Junfeng: "Director Jin, this is not appropriate. I am having dinner with my friends. Let's do it next time."

"Next time, I have to thank Director Jin and Director Xu for their help. Otherwise, my girlfriend's uncle's last surgery would have been delayed."

"It's impossible to recover so well now."

To put things in perspective, if Zhou Yanqing doesn't want her relationship with Pang Junfeng to deteriorate, no other factors can be involved.

"This is my friend, Pang Junfeng. We were high school classmates and close friends."

"Let's get together and have a few drinks today," Zhou Yanqing emphasized.

Jin Renhai and Xu Long both looked at Pang Junfeng again. Pang Junfeng could only nod and say, "Director Jin, Director Xu, I'm Xiao Pang. I wonder if you still remember me."

Xu Long whispered in Jin Renhai's ear about Pang Junfeng.

In addition to being the deputy director of the orthopedics department, Xu Long also holds a position in the personnel department, which is not uncommon in county hospitals.

"Then let's get together next time, Dr. Pang. If we all know each other, can you find some time to organize a meal for us?" Jin Renhai chose it almost immediately.

But at this moment, Pang Junfeng had calmed down and nodded, saying, "Director Jin, if there is a chance, I will definitely drink with you."

If Pang Junfeng didn't give Director Jin a good beating and only saw the small profit of the rope in front of him, then Pang Junfeng would lose first! ~
After everyone left, Pang Junfeng asked Zhou Yanqing what was going on.

After Zhou Yanqing explained clearly, he bit his tongue and asked softly, "Yanqing, do you think I have a chance to take the master's degree exam at Xiangya Hospital?"

Pang Junfeng is the same age as Zhou Yanqing, only twenty-seven years old, less than twenty-eight.

If he takes the master's exam tomorrow, he will graduate at 31, no older than 35, and he will still have the opportunity to change his destiny.

At that time, Pang Junfeng felt that what he wanted was not to work in the county hospital, but whether he could work in Heng City.

"As long as you have the will, there will definitely be a chance."

"It's hard to say about the rest, but I can guarantee that you will have a fair chance to compete with anyone."

"But if you want to work in Heng City, it will be relatively easier to pass the exam to get a master's degree from Hengda." Zhou Yanqing gave more pertinent advice.

If Pang Junfeng doesn't change, he will be stuck in the town.

But if he gets a master's degree, he can escape from there comfortably and have more choices!

This is the benefit of identity transfer.

Zhou Yanqing himself has also benefited from so many conveniences brought about by learning and reading.

Reading is useful.
