Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 178 Mission Handover (Subscription Request)

"Have you been preparing for today's surprise in the past few days?" Tan Zhongyu turned around and asked in front of an office door.

However, maybe Tan Zhongyu’s key had not been used for a long time, or maybe the key was not easy to use, so he couldn’t open it after trying twice.

Tan Zhongyu then lifted the door handle with his left hand, and the lock opened with a click.

Tan Zhongyu complained, "I told the logistics department a long time ago that the door lock should be changed, but no action has been taken!"

"Now the logistics department is also doing nothing every day."

After Zhou Yanqing followed Tan Zhongyu into the room, there were two connected offices.

The furnishings were relatively simple, with only two chairs and a tea table in the middle.

Zhou Yanqing replied successively: "Master, I have spent more time in the practice room in the past few days, but not for today, I just wanted to practice."

"I'm lucky, so I've made some progress."

Zhou Yanqing followed Tan Zhongyu in and looked around for a while: "Master, is this office a secret base?"

Tan Zhongyu casually turned on the air conditioner and lit a cigarette: "Sometimes the lounge downstairs is full, so I come here to sleep for a while!"

“Basically, we’re the only ones who’ve come in.”

The "few of us" that Tan Zhongyu mentioned must be referring to the big bosses of the specialized departments. Ordinary associate professors certainly do not have the authority to enter here.

It's still morning and everyone's energy is at its peak, so naturally there are no outsiders.

"Sit down!"

"It won't be long, so let's not make tea for now." While taking out an ashtray from the drawer, Tan Zhongyu motioned Zhou Yanqing to sit down opposite him.

After Zhou Yanqing pulled out the stool, he still took three tissues from the table and wiped the surface of the chair.

It was all black dust.

"It must have been a long time since anyone has come in to clean the office. Ordinary cleaners can't enter the office here."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

Tan Zhongyu didn't want to say some things too bluntly, and continued to look Zhou Yanqing up and down. The more he looked, the more he liked him.

After all, this is his beloved disciple.

"I remember when I saw you two years ago, you were still in the First Affiliated School of Hengda University. You were still childish at that time."

"I didn't expect that after only two years, you have changed so much!~" Tan Zhongyu actually began to express emotion and reminisce about the past.

Zhou Yanqing also recalled the past as Tan Zhongyu said: "Master, you were really bad back then."

“I really thought I was a wimp at that time!~”

At that time, Tan Zhongyu's indifference to Zhou Yanqing really made Zhou Yanqing a little nervous.

"What about now?" asked Tan Zhongyu.

Zhou Yanqing smiled and then swallowed.

Zhou Yanqing was a little thirsty. There was drinking water in the operating room, but his master took him directly into the alley, so Zhou Yanqing didn't have the chance to drink it at all.

"You should have been as confident as you are now. Who told you that you don't have a comprehensive understanding of yourself?"

Tan Zhongyu smiled awkwardly for a while, then explained: "But I can't blame you entirely. Confidence is not only related to yourself, but also has a lot to do with the atmosphere."

"Cognition depends on the platform. Your teachers, your classmates, and your experiences will all give you different perceptions."

"If you look back on your experience at Huashan Hospital now, do you find yourself funny?"

Zhou Yanqing nodded when he heard this: "If I were the interviewer now, I would also think that the new junior fellow or my future students are pretending to be noble."

"Either they are too shy or too old-fashioned in their thinking."

"You were given the power but you didn't use it. To put it bluntly, you are just sitting there doing nothing!"

Throughout one's life, one will always think back on the past.

Fortunately, Zhou Yanqing did not fall into that cycle of self-doubt for long.

Whether you are a doctor or a student, you need to have a certain degree of responsibility and autonomy.

There are some positions that you can choose not to do, but you have to leave.

"There will be different mentalities at different times."

"I believe your mentality now is completely different from before."

Tan Zhongyu took another deep puff and leaned his back against the chair, looking relaxed: "Thanks to you, I can now calm down."

"I can finally put aside all the bragging I did in front of others because of what happened to you."

"It's just that this time happened too fast. I thought it would take at least one or two years."

Tan Zhongyu looked at the ceiling, feeling very relaxed.

Zhou Yanqing didn't know what Tan Zhongyu had promised to others, but he knew that Tan Zhongyu had fought for his own treatment and might have even signed a military order.

"Thank you, Master, for your kindness!" Zhou Yanqing looked at his teacher calmly. Apart from being moved, he didn't know what to say.

A teacher can be a casual acquaintance, or a real teacher, or even a mentor or a mentor.

Tan Zhongyu was not considered a talent scout before, and even his "techniques" were a bit tricky, but after Zhou Yanqing entered the department.

Tan Zhongyu gives money and time, and can be considered a real teacher.

From giving Zhou Yanqing time and money to go out and study, to starting to teach him personally after the New Year, step by step, the bond between Zhou Yanqing and Tan Zhongyu will only grow deeper.

What Tan Zhongyu did was something that Ning Zhu had never done before.

"Exceeded the mission!~"

After Tan Zhongyu said something inexplicable, he straightened up, put away his cigarette, and said, "Yanqing, go down and have a rest first, drink some water or something, I need to make a phone call."

"You may not be able to listen to it."

Zhou Yanqing knew that Tan Zhongyu was trying to show off, and when he was showing off, he might use swear words.

"Okay Master!"

"Then I'll send you a message later." Zhou Yanqing stood up.

Tan Zhongyu suddenly thought of something and said, "Yanqing, you should do more surgeries and go on stage more often. I will discuss with Ning Zhu and send your stage fee to him."

"But you have to pay the extra tax."

"When the time comes, you can do the math. Forget it. You'll just have to take a bigger loss. You'll get a fixed quota every month..."

"The rest of the prizes go to Ning Zhu."

Zhou Yanqing's figure was fixed, and he turned back to look at Tan Zhongyu in surprise.

In fact, economic issues are the easiest to tear apart relationships. Now Zhou Yanqing is receiving a lot of subsidies.

Tan Zhongyu also wanted to give him a platform fee, which was a benefit only doctors in this hospital could enjoy. How could a student have such a thing?

"Go!" Tan Zhongyu waved his hand, urging Zhou Yanqing to leave.

……

As soon as Zhou Yanqing left, Tan Zhongyu directly called Lei Zhong.

Lei Zhongzu's surgery is on a different day than Tan Zhongyu's, so he is free now.

"Director Tan?" Lei Zhong sounded doubtful after answering the phone.

This time, the performance of hand surgery was the most impressive, and the special prize for young doctors in the joint surgery department where Lei Zhong worked was won by the Second Hospital. Although the doctoral students of Xiangya Hospital were still excellent, they were still slightly inferior to the sweeping performance of hand surgery.

This is because Zhou Yanqing's trump card has not been used yet.

"Director Lei, I want to hand it over to you."

"I have completed everything you asked me to do before!" Tan Zhongyu said with full energy.

"Ok?"

"What did I tell you?" Lei Zhong was a little confused.

He really didn't remember any interaction with Tan Zhongyu.

Tan Zhongyu then happily lit up another cigarette and said, "Director Lei, have you forgotten about Yanqing? The academic leader."

"I'm almost done now."

"Ah? Huh? What?" Lei Zhong uttered several high-pitched syllables in succession, filled with disbelief.

When it comes to professional strength in joint surgery, Lei Zhong's professional skills are close to the top ten in the country!

This is not a joke.

It can be said that his strength is infinitely close to the national level, and who knows if he will make a complete breakthrough one day!
Previously, when Tan Zhongyu asked Lei Zhong about the treatment to be given to Zhou Yanqing, he had boasted that he would make Zhou Yanqing a national leader in the field of hand surgery.

The subconscious idea is to first develop basic skills that are "close to" the national level when he is young, and then take him out for a walk.

When Zhou Yanqing's strength matures, his fame, strength, and scientific research background will basically be sufficient, and everything will come naturally at that time.

But you? How long has it been?
Zhou Yanqing’s first year of doctoral studies hasn’t ended yet, right?

"Director Lei, this kind of thing is not something you can joke about. Yan Qing's basic skills are now at the level of a national player."

"I witnessed this with my own eyes. It can't be faked."

"If you have doubts, it doesn't matter. The National Young Doctors Competition is coming up soon, and everything will be revealed then."

"But, Director Lei, regarding the follow-up matters, do we need to make a brief handover?" Tan Zhongyu continued to ask for help.

Is this just a handover? Is this just to let you, Lei Zhong, know?

Not!
Lei Zhong, as the chief director of the orthopedics department and the dean, the orthopedics and hand surgery department has produced a super awesome figure. You have to give him treatment and resources!

It's not okay to just make empty promises.

Lei Zhong knew that Tan Zhongyu would not lie or brag, but he also found it hard to believe that Zhou Yanqing could reach that level in such a short time.

He himself hadn't even reached that step.

Although it's just basic skills.

However, the difficulty of improving basic skills is several times that of professional skills, and if basic skills are not improved, it is impossible to improve professional operations.

Basic skills determine the lower and upper limits of your comprehensive abilities. It sounds disgusting, but this is the fact!
If a person cannot even understand addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, he cannot become a mathematician.

"Director Tan, if what you said is true, then what should be given to Yan Qing will not be reduced at all, and there is no rush."

"Director Tan, you have been working hard recently. You can take more rest."

"Since Yanqing has reached this stage, we should give him some platforms to display his abilities in the future. We can't just focus on basic skills."

"Do you have any ideas?" Lei Zhong asked.

In the orthopedics department of Xiangya Hospital, broken bones are connected to tendons. It is impossible to say that joint surgery and hand surgery are completely separated.

"Director Lei, we should continue to advance in the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries. This is a general direction."

"As for the rest, we'll talk about it after Yanqing has worked for a while."

"Director Lei, what I want to say is that no matter whether it is a provincial competition or a national competition, they are just small fights among young people after all."

“True clinical competition is eternal and is also the original intention of us as doctors.”

"So, Yanqing decided to give up participating in the provincial competition..." Tan Zhongyu explained.

"Well, okay, I understand."

"Yanqing has high professional talent and good scientific research talent. Such talents should be given priority by our orthopedics department and our hospital."

"How about this, if Yanqing doesn't graduate early, I think we can bring in the best talent."

"If he graduates early, his scientific research accumulation may not be sufficient, so he may have to be demoted to the top or middle level."

"In fact, they are all the same. Starting work early, getting paid early, and getting promoted early are definitely the most suitable for Yanqing."

"People's words are scary, and we in the orthopedics department can't go too far," Lei Zhong explained.

Zhou Yanqing is an orthopedic specialist, so Lei Zhong has to be more cautious when making promises. He would rather downgrade the standards than go too far.

"It doesn't matter. The money given to Yan Qingtou doesn't matter. Just a little bit of token of appreciation will do. But the other equipment must be sufficient!~"

"Director Lei, you should know how much potential Yan Qing will have once he starts to engage in clinical research, considering his current basic skills."

"The key point is that Yanqing is only 27 years old this year!"

"Twenty-seven years old, clinical." said Tan Zhongyu.

"I'm sure I'll know. Tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow is not possible. Tomorrow is my surgery day. Let's meet the day after tomorrow." Lei Zhong spoke very officially. It was probably because it was not very convenient to talk right now.

After Tan Zhongyu understood, he didn't say any more words. He said thank you to Director Lei and hung up the phone.

As he looked at the phone screen after the call was hung up, Tan Zhongyu's breathing began to quicken.

If Yan Qing can really reach that step in the end, the Hand Surgery Department of Xiangya Hospital can even be among the top five in the country and become a giant comparable to neurosurgery.

This is something that many of our predecessors wanted to do but failed to do.

If this can be done in the hands of Tan Zhongyu, then Tan Zhongyu and Zhou Yanqing will definitely have a significant mark in the history of hand surgery.

A thousand-mile horse often exists, but Bole does not.

Tan Zhongyu is the Bole.

Fame and fortune are secondary. Since the things you do are different, everyone’s sense of accomplishment is completely different.

Tan Zhongyu has enough strength to support Zhou Yanqing to go further.

In an instant, many things floated in Tan Zhongyu's mind——

Further study, going abroad, visiting.

Participate in international academic conferences and exchanges, and go on retreat.

Many options that could be used to increase the stakes for Zhou Yanqing do not seem to be in line with Zhou Yanqing's actual situation.

"There are still many things that can be done. Don't be in a hurry. Take your time."

"Combining work and rest, this kid should be given a short vacation for a while..." Tan Zhongyu made a decision in his mind.

However, this decision was overturned by Zhou Yanqing in person in the afternoon.

Looking at Zhou Yanqing's face, the expression was all "I want to learn" and "I want to improve".

Tan Zhongyu could only walk away cursing: "Niu Youjuan, you are really a cow."

"You'll change your name to Zhou Niuqing, right?"

Tan Zhongyu really cursed loudly and really thought so.
