Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 198 A heavy burden! (Subscribe)
"Director Lei!" Huang Xianming walked to the balcony of his home at this moment, looked back at his son, and his voice became more cautious.

At Huang Xianming's age, his professional title has been promoted and his income has gradually become considerable. What he wants to see most is stability in the department, rather than seeking breakthroughs and taking risks!

It’s not that he is afraid of the responsibility being placed on him. Tan Zhongyu is the leader, and if anything happens to the patients in the group, Tan Zhongyu is the first to take the blame.

But if something happened to Tan Zhongyu and he was transferred out, if Huang Xianming wanted to hold up this group, he felt that he would have to use all his strength!

At present, Huang Xianming's hair is still quite lush.

Huang Xianming is not saying that he does not want to move into a team leadership position, but he believes that the improvement of his own abilities should be done step by step!
Huang Xianming is only 38 years old and has plenty of time.

There are so many professors in Xiangya Hospital. Which one of them was not promoted to professor or chief physician at the age of 43, 44 or even 45?

There are still six or seven years left, and Huang Xianming feels that he can hone his skills and then lead a team steadily and integrate his skills and theories into maturity.

But if this time comes earlier, Huang Xianming will be under great pressure!
The medical field is vast and long. When you are in Xiangya Hospital, you must be responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of common diseases in the Hand Surgery Department of Xiangya Hospital, and you cannot just sit back and relax like in a prefecture-level city hospital.

You will starve to death!
"Huang Xianming, you say!" Lei Zhong's voice was a little tired.

"Director Lei, I just saw a message from Director Tan saying that he will be performing functional reconstruction surgery in the department in the near future."

"Director Lei, I have known Teacher Tan since I started my graduate studies at the age of 24. So far, I have been with him for fourteen years."

"I personally think..." Huang Xianming repeated his thoughts.

Now, the only one who can persuade Tan Zhongyu is Lei Zhong!
One person cannot have the final say in the department, and one person cannot have the final say in the group.

Lei Zhong heard this and his tone became more thoughtful: "You mean to say that Tan Zhongyu is currently forcing himself to do a difficult operation instead of letting it happen naturally?"

"Huang Xianming, you must be responsible for your words!~"

Huang Xianming asked directly: "Director Lei, do you think I am a person who likes to complain?"

"Director Tan is one of my mentors."

Lei Zhong fell silent.

No matter how stupid Huang Xianming is, he would never "report" his superior.

After fourteen years of living together, although Tan Zhongyu and Huang Xianming were not master and disciple in name, they were master and disciple in reality!
After fourteen years of raising a dog, it’s time for it to become familiar to you.

"Go on and tell me what you think!" Lei Zhong said.

Lei Zhong is the dean of the hospital and the chief director of the orthopedics department. He is planning to step down as the chief director of the orthopedics department and Tan Zhongyu is one of his candidates.

Therefore, in Lei Zhong's perspective, he also has to consider whether Tan Zhongyu is willing to give it a try for this thing!
"Director Lei, if Teacher Tan was in our department, moving forward step by step, I would definitely have nothing to say!~"

"I will highly respect Director Tan's choice."

"But Director Lei, I'm not being too self-deprecating. Nowadays, there are only a few hospitals that can maturely carry out peripheral nerve treatment."

"Let's not talk about the hospitals in Kyoto and Shanghai for now. They are just West China Hospital, Central China Union Hospital, Hebei Provincial Third Hospital, and the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University."

“Many other places are moving in that direction.”

"Director Lei, I haven't seen how far Teacher Tan has pushed in this direction yet. If it's delayed for another two or three years, I will definitely not say anything more."

"But you should know how long it takes to prepare if you want to directly engage in the industry's top clinical disease treatment!" Huang Xianming said.

"I don't care about people."

"Okay! I'll call and ask." Lei Zhong agreed.

Huang Xianming is not a fool. If he were a fool, Tan Zhongyu would have kicked him out long ago. How could he have stayed by his side?

Naturally, he could not be compared with people like Zhou Yanqing, but he was able to stay in the same class not because of his family connections, but because he stood out among many graduates that year and was able to stay in the hospital.

Therefore, Huang Xianming’s pertinent suggestion is that Lei Zhong must be taken into consideration!

……

At half past ten in the evening, Zhou Yanqing was taking notes while video chatting with Chen Yu. Next to him was an iPad he had just bought, which he used as a "screen" to look up information!
Use mobile phones to watch videos, computers to read literature, and tablets to read reviews.

Keep improving!

Zhou Yanqing did this for two reasons. One was to continue to hone his theoretical study time, activate the medal, and improve his theoretical level.

Zhou Yanqing felt that his current operating level should not be a big problem.

However, the theory and cognition have not yet reached the level to deal with top-level diseases!

Zhou Yanqing is not an old antique like Tan Zhongyu who has lived for decades. Their theoretical accumulation has been accumulated over decades.

Therefore, if you want to catch up, you must work harder.

Zhou Yanqing’s current theory is definitely not bad, but it is not enough!
Chen Yu is writing an outline. She has already started writing the beginning of an online novel and has published it on a free website, but the result is unknown.

Zhou Yanqing looked up and said, "Xiaoyu, do you want to take a break? You just finished preparing for class."

Chen Yu is a teacher and she needs to prepare lessons.

"It's okay. It's almost summer vacation. I've already finished all the new classes. Preparing for class review materials is much easier than preparing for new classes."

"I have to take this opportunity to write out the outline first. I will spend the summer writing and perfecting the outline. I will have something to write next semester."

"I feel okay, not too tired." Chen Yu was full of fighting spirit at this moment, as if he had finally found a hobby to enrich himself in his spare time.

After Zhou Yanqing finished making a note, he tilted his head and said, "Oh, then you decide for yourself. I'm mainly worried that you're too tired."

Chen Yu said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you look at yourself and calculate your daily working hours and my working hours?"

"I only have three quarters of what you have? Two thirds? One half?"

“One-half at most!”

Zhou Yanqing said, "My master recently approached me to work on a more challenging clinical project together."

"Wait a minute, our President Lei is calling, hang up first!" Zhou Yanqing said, and only hung up the phone after seeing Chen Yu nod.

"Hello, Teacher Lei." Zhou Yanqing was in a very good mood, so his tone was particularly bright.

Zhou Yanqing never called Lei Zhonglei Dean or Director Lei, but always addressed him as Teacher Lei.

"Yanqing, I just called Tan Zhongyu."

"I still feel that some of his ideas are not very mature. Tell me honestly, if you want to perform simple functional reconstruction and peripheral nerve treatment."

"How much sunk cost is needed?" Lei Zhong opened his mouth with a powerful attack.

Zhou Yanqing's smile gradually froze. He couldn't figure out where Lei Zhong got the news from, but he didn't think much about it.

If hand surgery wants to develop new surgical procedures, it must go through certain procedures.

The department director agrees, and the medical department files the authorization. This is a necessary procedure and may even have to be evaluated by the Ethics Society.

Of course, this is a surgical procedure that has been maturely performed in other hospitals, so there is no possibility that it will not pass the ethics committee's evaluation.

"Teacher Lei, I personally think there is still a great possibility."

"At least, even if we don't succeed in restoring much function for the patient, it will be better than before the operation!" Zhou Yanqing did not mention the cost of silence. With Zhou Yanqing's current basic level and the surgical proficiency of a group of experts, it is difficult to evaluate how much benefit it really brings to the patient.

But it is definitely better than before the operation, and the amount is difficult to control.

What experience did Zhou Yanqing have? When he went to Jishuitan, he only watched a few complete peripheral nerve treatment procedures and did not participate in the entire process of patient rehabilitation.

"Yanqing, this isn't just bragging, right?"

"Before doing anything, consider the worst possible scenario first!" Lei Zhong said.

Zhou Yanqing nodded: "Director Lei, at most it should be no increase or decrease!"

This is the lower limit!

Your technical proficiency can ensure the lower limit of surgical quality, because surgical proficiency can be accumulated through the number of operations.

Your cognitive level, combined with your basic proficiency, can affect the upper limit of surgical quality.

"Is this your confidence or your teacher, Director Tan's confidence?" Lei Zhong asked.

He asked Tan Zhongyu the same question, and Tan Zhongyu’s answer was, it won’t be too bad!
He is able to do a good job of post-operation and discuss matters with the patient and their family before the operation.

No treatment for those who don’t believe!
This is equivalent to everyone being a gambler together!
Tan Zhongyu did not gamble, so he had no losses. Even if he won the bet, the only benefit he would get was to learn one more technique.

But for patients who have traveled all over the country and have nowhere else to turn to, a little win in the gamble is a kind of salvation, but of course they may also lose!
This needs to be agreed upon in advance by everyone, and no one needs to gamble, so you can leave!

"This is the result of my discussion with my teacher." Zhou Yanqing replied cautiously after examining it carefully.

"That's your own opinion." Lei Zhong made the final decision.

"I've already talked to Director Tan before calling you."

Lei Zhong said this and took a deep breath: "Yanqing, I support you."

"I prefer what Dr. Wu from the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery said. What does my personal reputation matter?"

"If you want to bring good news to patients, you may have to prepare yourself for ruin. If you don't even have the courage to do so, you won't be able to move forward."

"For patients, we are the ones who heal the sick and the injured! We are their hope."

"But we are doctors. Doctors are our profession and our livelihood."

"We can't just smash our rice bowl and starve to death, you know?"

Lei Zhong's words are quite down-to-earth.

You, Zhou Yanqinghai, are far from reaching the point where you can survive without working as a doctor, so you must be cautious.

"Teacher Lei, if I back off now, it's easy. I just need to say one word."

"I move forward not for fame or anything like that, but because I really, genuinely want to do something!" Zhou Yanqing replied.

Zhou Yanqing's emotions have always been very stable.

"Then I wish you success."

“Put fame and fortune aside first, consider the reality first, consider the worst possible outcome, then think of ways to resolve the worst possible outcome, and finally consider the possible fame and fortune that may be brought.”

"This order is very, very, very, very important." Lei Zhong said several "very"s in a row.

"Your qualifications are also very important."

Zhou Yanqing nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lei. I'll remember it."

……

After hanging up the phone and reconnecting the video, a plate of cherry tomatoes was placed on Chen Yu's table.

She picked up one, removed the stem and put it in her mouth: "Is your director asking you to sign a military order?"

Chen Yu knew the whole story; Zhou Yanqing had shared it with her, so she made this guess.

"It's not a military order, but it's something that sets a bottom line for me." Zhou Yanqing shook his head.

As a big shot in orthopedics and the dean of Xiangya Hospital, Lei Zhong was able to be nominated as an academician. He has all the personal abilities, courage, and connections.

Zhou Yanqing also learned a lot from Lei Zhong's words, even though they were just a few words.

"Your director has no objection?" Chen Yu narrowed his eyes, a little surprised.

"Teacher Lei did not object, but was somewhat supportive."

“We should also thank him for his trust in us.”

Zhou Yanqing boasted at this point, "I should thank myself for not bragging and for being steady and cautious all the way."

Zhou Yanqing feels that when a person reaches a certain level, his or her name can even become a symbol.

Zhou Yanqing has always been very capable, and he has never been greedy or vain, nor has he ever caused any trouble for his superiors. He has always been labeled as hardworking and reliable.

The reason why Lei Zhong asked Zhou Yanqing again after asking Tan Zhongyu was that Zhou Yanqing also had such an impression of Lei Zhong.

This is a good thing.

It is also the power of character!
"Then your burden will be even heavier."

"The patients' expectations, the teachers' hopes, the superiors' support!~"

"Xiao Shitou, we'd better succeed. I believe in you!" Chen Yu said.

After a night of deep thinking, Chen Yu figured out some things.

Many people in this world, after taking off their various robes, are just mortal bodies.

Although Zhou Yanqing is very skilled in technology, he is not celestial. He is also quite stupid in some aspects. There is no need for him to worry about it.

"So, you are acknowledging that I will be very busy for a while?"

"Do you support it too?" Zhou Yanqing smiled and changed the topic to a more relaxed level.

Chen Yu picked up another cherry tomato and said, "I never said I didn't support you."

"Well, although, I really hope you can accompany me."

"But what you said is right. We should do things according to our age. We are still young."

“If you have never been crazy or challenged yourself when you are young, then your life has been in vain!”

“Some people say that no one can have both youth and the feeling of youth.”

“But if you don’t go crazy a few times when you are young, you will always feel regretful. Even if you get hurt, it will be a good thing when you look back on it!” Chen Yu suddenly became a bit literary.

Zhou Yanqing smiled and continued to take notes.

The success of a new technique cannot be achieved through bragging and encouragement, but through accumulation.
