Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 180 Horror Panel (Subscription Request)
This is not the first time that Zhou Yanqing has been so stubborn.

Although Tan Zhongyu couldn't remember clearly the last time Zhou Yanqing was so stubborn, he always had this impression in his mind.

Zhou Yanqing has a delicate face and looks very simple. He is also very humble and low-key, but Tan Zhongyu seemed to be meeting Zhou Yanqing for the first time.

"Yanqing, is it true that once you have made up your mind about something, even ten oxen cannot pull you back?" Tan Zhongyu asked in a soft voice after he calmed down.

Zhou Yanqing raised his head slightly and shook his head: "Master, I don't have to do what I have decided. I will do my best to do what I think is meaningful after weighing it carefully."

How did Tan Zhongyu know that he could achieve a leap forward in his skills by undergoing intensive training in incision and debridement techniques?

It is impossible for Zhou Yanqing to explain all this to Tan Zhongyu. Isn't this obviously "bragging"?

If Tan Zhongyu thought he was not bragging, he would definitely think that he was cheating.

Therefore, it was impossible for Zhou Yanqing to explain in front of Tan Zhongyu the fundamental reason why he had to practice.

"Besides the reason you just gave, do you have anything else to say?" Tan Zhongyu did not fully agree with Zhou Yanqing's reason.

Then he continued to destroy Zhou Yanqing's excuse: "Don't tell me anything about the competition!~"

Tan Zhongyu had told Zhou Yanqing many times that Zhou Yanqing was going there to get the prize money, not to compete.

Throughout history, even the best and most qualified hand surgeons have never had the basic skills to reach that “realm” by their twenties.

It can even be said that before the age of 40, there are only a handful of people in the entire industry who can reach this level, and hand surgery has never appeared.

'National level' is not cabbage that can be easily bought in the vegetable market.

To reach this point, hard work, talent, opportunity, a teacher, and guidance are all indispensable.

"Master, I firmly believe that hard work can make up for one's shortcomings, and I believe that God will reward hard work."

Zhou Yanqing answered carefully word by word, and then thought carefully for a long time before saying:
"Master, the reason why I am appreciated by you, recognized by my fellow apprentices, and liked by some teachers is mostly due to my own efforts."

Although, once you get a panel, you can get improvement as long as you keep working on it and do one thing to the extreme.

But not everyone can endure that kind of long repetition.

For example, in suture surgery, even after hundreds of thousands of sutures, there is not much improvement. It is an extremely long process lasting up to one and a half years. Who can endure it?
However, Zhou Yanqing also believes that if anyone knows that they will definitely improve if they persist for so long, 99 percent of people will be able to persist.

"Besides, learning is not a bad thing, nor is it something shameful or embarrassing."

"Teacher, some of what you said was definitely for my own good, but not all of your instructions must be carried out completely and unconditionally."

"Especially when you told me to stop studying and take a good rest."

"Everyone has their own pace in learning, and they don't rely entirely on the teacher to lead them."

"The master can only lead you to the door, but the practice depends on yourself." Zhou Yanqing answered and analyzed the matter of arguing with Tan Zhongyu very calmly.

Upon hearing this, Tan Zhongyu took a deep breath.

Then he said: "Yanqing, you have grown up!"

"What I can say is that your entire demeanor, choices, confidence, and style of doing things have all grown."

"Of course, I also think you are too stubborn, but you can persist in this way when you go against me. I believe that even if other people disagree with you in the future, you will be able to stick to your original intention."

"The path of medicine is not fixed!~"

"Every professor and every expert has his or her own philosophy. Different philosophies will lead to different choices. The difference between these philosophies is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye."

“Only time can prove the superiority of each concept.”

"In this process, sticking to your original intention may lead to a breakthrough, or it may lead to a dead end."

"You can imagine how desperate it is when the ideal you have pursued and believed in for your whole life is denied by others. You even put your youth and everything you have into it..."

Zhou Yanqing carefully examined Tan Zhongyu's words, his mouth slightly open.

If it is really like what Master said, then people will really become extremely desperate! ~
Zhou Yanqing did not respond, and Tan Zhongyu did not ask any more questions.

He just said, "In a few days, you will represent Hunan Province to participate in the national competition. The one leading the team will not be me, but Professor Tang from the Second Hospital."

"It doesn't matter if it's Professor Tang. This is a national competition. Although we have healthy competition internally, our external attitude has always been harmonious."

"When the time comes, just be careful not to eat anything you like. As for the rest, if you perform normally, you should be able to get a good score."

When Tan Zhongyu talked about his good grades, he even laughed at himself.

Zhou Yanqing's expedition this time is like a tiger descending from the mountain. The people blocking the way are all sheep. If nothing unexpected happens, they will all be Zhou Yanqing's stepping stones.

……

After returning home and taking a shower, Zhou Yanqing dried his hair while feeling the cool breeze from the air conditioner.

Just after taking a hot shower, a slight cool breeze blows against the skin, and the refreshing feeling seems to penetrate into the internal organs.

Zhou Yanqing was lost in thought in front of the mirror. Looking at himself in the mirror, the corners of his mouth were curved harder than AK. Zhou Yanqing once again couldn't help but focus his gaze on the panel that only he could see.

The panels have become extra luxurious nowadays——

【外科理论：外科学（专家1/15）、骨科学（专家0/15）、手外科基础理论（专家1/15）……】

The surgical theory has been slightly improved after it was last upgraded to the expert level.

At present, Zhou Yanqing can be compared with ordinary associate professors based on theory alone, and is not inferior at all.

Theory and operation are two different things.

The better the theory, the better the treatment effect will be under the same operational proficiency.

【外科诊断学：X线阅片术（专家1/15）、CT阅片术（专精0/15）、核磁阅片术（专家1/15）、医学基础查体（专精4/5）、医学检查判读（专精2/5）、医学检验学判读（专精1/5）】

In surgical diagnosis, the most commonly used X-ray and MRI reading techniques in hand surgery have already reached expert level under the nurturing of the boutique skill hall.

Among them, MRI and X-ray reading are more commonly used, so the proficiency level will be one point higher.

With the accumulation of time, Zhou Yanqing's skills in basic medical physical examination and interpretation of medical tests have been improved from proficiency to expertise. These are all slow and painstaking efforts, and he did not spend any time practicing them specifically.

Basically, Zhou Yanqing would take the initiative to learn as much as there was clinical experience, without finding additional patients to practice with.

Each specialty has its own core basic skills.

The next column is the most important one.

【外科基础操作：缝合术（国手8/25）、切开术（国手8/25）、清创术（国手8/25）、打结术（专家3/15）、止血术（专家3/15）、穿刺术（专精4/5）】

Three national players, three 8/25, it really looks too pleasing to the eye.

Incision and suturing are the core basic skills of hand surgery. Zhou Yanqing has reached such a level in these two basic skills that he can be said to be "quasi-invincible". However, it may not be just hand surgery that attaches importance to the basic skills of "incision". Zhou Yanqing's "incision" is currently ranked 29th in the country and 98th in the world.

The ranking for debridement is even lower, with Zhou Yanqing ranking 27th in the country and 101st in the world.

But even so, this ranking is very impressive.

Incision and debridement are the most important basic skills in surgery.

Hand surgery is a subspecialty that places great emphasis on suturing. The core of other specialties is not placed on suturing, and many surgeons basically feel that it is sufficient.

This is why Zhou Yanqing's ranking is very, very high.

After the basic skills were improved, a series of chain reactions occurred:

The most obvious thing is that the basic specialized operations of hand surgery have basically achieved a qualitative improvement.

【手外科专科基础操作：皮瓣缝合术（专家12/15）、肌腱缝合术（专家14/15）、神经缝合术（专家13/15）、血管缝合术（专家13/15）、皮瓣取口术（专家9/15）、病损切除术（专家9/15）……】

This is what happens when one person’s basic skills are improved, and everyone else benefits!

There are as many as a dozen basic specialized operations, reaching an expert-level proficiency of more than 5/15.

At present, with such comprehensive strength, Zhou Yanqing can claim that he is infinitely close to his teacher, and even surpasses Professor Tan Zhongyu in basic skills!

【手外科专科技能：tang法肌腱缝合术（专家12/15）、kessler缝合术（专家13/15）、断肢再植术/断指再植术（专家12/15）、神经转位术（专家1/15）、血管转位术（专家2/15）……】

"You can't find anything after wearing iron shoes, but it takes no effort to get there."

“All specialized skills are actually improved based on one’s basic skills, so basic skills are very important.”

"All surgeons start by practicing their basic skills." Zhou Yanqing murmured in a low voice, and then looked again at the medals he had earned step by step.

Each medal is very suitable for its name.

Thousands of trials and tribulations are the beginning, practice makes perfect, a hundred thousand skills make one famous, fifty years old makes one a leader, that is a local lord! ~
It is no exaggeration to say that if Zhou Yanqing leaves Xiangya Hospital and goes to Shashi First Hospital or Shashi Central Hospital to re-establish a hand surgery department, it may be comparable to the hand surgery department of Xiangya Hospital within 20 years!
Of course, this is just a possibility, not an absolute one. The main thing is that the students’ qualifications must be up to par.

Zhou Yanqing himself can definitely be far ahead.

"Xiao Shitou, are you back from slaughtering pigs?" Chen Yu teased while chatting.

Chen Yu, who was writing the outline of the character with a smile as beautiful as a flower, looked a little annoyed.

Zhou Yanqing didn't spend his weekend with her, but went to the slaughterhouse to slice meat for fun...

For this purpose, Zhou Yanqing also went for a physical examination and provided a health report.

"Well, the pig-killer is back."

"I have no choice. I was forced to do this by my master. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to go anywhere. It would be too much of a waste."

Zhou Yanqing said frankly: "It's okay after you get off work, I can play with you, but I think the time you spend at work is too much."

"I took a month off before, and it felt like ants crawling all over me."

Zhou Yanqing felt that he was a scumbag. He felt that he had a lot of skills but couldn't use them, so his hands would itch. He was like someone who was addicted to performing surgery.

I just want to have something to do every day, I love doing surgery!
"You guys are going to compete in the next few days, right? Have you confirmed the time?"

"I have applied for the invigilation for the college entrance examination, so you can let me off for the high school entrance examination. I have three days off, and I'm going to Chengdu to eat hot pot and cheer you on." Chen Yu took the initiative to suggest.

"But I didn't buy a ticket for the same flight as you. I only bought a ticket for the high-speed train, and I will have to sit for a long time." Chen Yu put down the pen, and his voice sounded a little pitiful.

Teachers’ high school entrance exam holidays are not fixed.

Chen Yu only dared to arrange a "vacation" after he was sure that he would not have to be an invigilator. Otherwise, he would have to go to work.

"No way, there are no plane tickets left?"

“It’s more expensive, right?”

"Let me check for you." Zhou Yanqing still didn't believe it. It was just a ticket for June 18th, how could it be sold out?

Zhou Yanqing took a look and found that the cheap tickets for that day were really sold out, and the prices were now between fifteen hundred and twenty-five thousand.

"Buy one. It takes too long to get there by high-speed rail," Zhou Yanqing suggested.

"I bought it for you."

Chen Yu stretched out his hand to stop him, "No, Little Stone, I think it's too wasteful."

"A second-class seat is only over 400 yuan and only takes seven hours. I can also pick you up at the airport when the time comes."

"However, I think you will definitely be with the team by then, so I'll wait for you at the hotel..."

"Can we eat hot pot during your competition?"

China's Sichuan hotpot and Yushi hotpot are relatively famous.

People in Hunan province like hot pot very much, so you don't have to worry about not being able to adapt to the taste when you go to these two places to eat hot pot.

"Our teacher doesn't recommend it, but I think it should be okay. At worst I can just eat the clear soup pot." Zhou Yanqing nodded and agreed.

“Are you really not going to buy a plane ticket?”

Zhou Yanqing felt a little sorry for Chen Yu sitting on the train alone for seven hours.

It’s not that Chen Yu can’t afford the money.

"No, no, I've already made a guide. With the difference in the airfare, I can have several hotpot meals."

"That's totally unnecessary!~"

"I want to be a special forces soldier." Chen Yu was quite confident.

……

A few days passed in a flash, and soon it was June 18th.

Ning Zhu from Xiangya Hospital was the chief resident and gave up the competition, so the contestants who participated in the competition were Zhou Yanqing, Yu Yue, and Liu Wanqing.

Originally, Xiangya Hospital had one youth quota, ranked fourth.

But Zhou Yanqing forcibly took up one spot, and with Ning Zhu, there would definitely be two people participating in the competition, so it would be embarrassing for him to take up three more seats.

Liu Wanqing happened to be ranked fifth in the postgraduate track!
When they set out, Zhou Yanqing and his companions were full of energy and felt that the road ahead was promising...

This time, both Yu Yue and Liu Wanqing wanted to see their junior fellow apprentice Zhou Yanqing stand out and dominate the hand surgery field!
