Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 199 The arrow is on the string! (Subscribe)
"Master, why are you calling me so late?" After Zhou Yanqing hung up the video call with Chen Yu, he received a call from Tan Zhongyu while he was still studying!
Zhou Yanqing thought that Tan Zhongyu had heard some negative news!

"This weekend, I'll go to Huashan Hospital with you!" Tan Zhongyu said.

Wasn’t it about Director Lei Zhong’s phone call?
Zhou Yanqing continued, "Master, the patient in the hospital has been to Huashan Hospital to see Professor Gu before, right?"

"If Professor Gu was sure, he might have done the left hand at that time."

Tan Zhongyu replied: “It’s not about asking for advice on specific cases, but about learning together.”

“The learning period will be shorter, so we need to save time.”

"Book your flight first!"

"Okay, Master." Since Tan Zhongyu had already made the decision, Zhou Yanqing would of course follow.

However, it was actually quite cruel of Tan Zhongyu to make such a decision.

Although Tan Zhongyu is nearly 40 or 50 years old, he still takes the initiative to go to other hospitals to learn about surgery and concepts, which is extremely rare in China.

Many professors would rather be pretentious and dull than step out!
……

Friday, January 6th.

After Tan Zhongyu and others completed three routine elective surgeries, Tan Zhongyu planned to invite Zhou Yanqing to have dinner together.

Just finished eating and headed to the airport.

However, Zhou Yanqing declined: "Master, wait for me, we will be away for several days, I need to process my cells, I will pack a lunch box for the way."

Tan Zhongyu: “…”

Can you not be so stubborn? It's already this hour, and you're still thinking about your cell experiment?

Of course, after having an in-depth chat with Zhou Yanqing, Tan Zhongyu no longer refuted Zhou Yanqing’s internal circulation!
Zhou Yanqing has his own ideas, so I can only let go and let Zhou Yanqing do things on his own.

"Then you should get up earlier so as not to miss the flight!" This was all Tan Zhongyu could say.

"Okay, Master!" Zhou Yanqing replied and ran away.

After Zhou Yanqing returned to the laboratory, the first thing he did was not to eat. He didn't even pack his lunch first. Instead, he disinfected the experimental equipment he was going to use today.

Then he found an academic doctoral student and said, "Brother Lu, I'm sorry to bother you for the two days of the weekend. I have something to do in Shanghai."

"And we have to start the follow-up of this experiment. It would be inconvenient to freeze it halfway through!"

Lu Yungui is tall and thin, with slightly dark skin. He is only one year older than Zhou Yanqing and in the same class as Ling Qiyuan. He is an academic doctor.

Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Yanqing, please send me the operations you want to do."

"My fellow students used to say that you were awesome, but you were mostly in clinical practice at that time, so they didn't know you very well."

"Now it seems that you will really bring bad influence to our entire group, not just the clinical group!"

Tan Zhongyu’s master’s and doctoral students are divided into two batches, professional and academic.

The academic group and the professional group don’t have much contact, but they all know each other!
"Brother Lu, thank you for your hard work! Let's have dinner together when we have the chance." Zhou Yanqing was not being modest anymore.

"I'll send you the experimental steps later."

What Senior Brother Lu needs to do is actually to take care of the cells. If there are any that have grown fully, they should be subcultured. If there are any that have not grown fully, the culture medium should be changed on Sunday.

Tumor cells grow very fast. Although they will not all die if the culture medium is not changed within three days, it is a waste if they die.

……

After Zhou Yanqing came out of the laboratory, he took a taxi to the airport and successfully met Tan Zhongyu in the waiting room.

Zhou Yanqing was still holding the KFC meal in his hand at this moment.

Tan Zhongyu looked at his watch, then looked at Zhou Yanqing's expression, and couldn't help scolding: "You don't even eat on time, but you have to have a snack at the last minute."

"Sometimes Master doesn't know what you are busy with. You are much busier than me."

Zhou Yanqing smiled back and called out "Master". After making sure that Tan Zhongyu didn't want any more food, he quickly put a hamburger and two pieces of original chicken into his stomach.

In the evening, after the two landed in Shanghai, they checked directly into the hotel.

Professor Tan Zhongyu soon received a call from another professor from Huashan Hospital, who wanted to host a welcoming party for the two of them.

Tan Zhongyu agreed...

That night, Zhou Yanqing was led by two professors to appreciate the scenery of the Magic City.

This time, Zhou Yanqing realized that a meal for three people could cost more than 4,000 yuan.

It turns out that the income of the big guys is hard for me to imagine.

At least, this professor in Shanghai has an annual income of at least one million.

Although Zhou Yanqing had been to Huashan Hospital before, he did not know Professor Xie Nong who was receiving him today.

However, Professor Xie Nong knew Zhou Yanqing, and he sighed and said, "Professor Tan, Yanqing is still very outstanding. He is so young, but he won the special prize in the youth track."

Tan Zhongyu actually understands sarcasm very well. If he said something at this time, it was all thanks to the magnanimity of Huashan Hospital that the atmosphere could be pushed to a climax.

But after all, I'm asking for help from others now, so it's not convenient to say so.

"Thank you, Professor. I was lucky, so I got this opportunity."

"This kid is homesick." Tan Zhongyu gave Professor Xie Nong a response.

Initially, Huashan Hospital admitted Zhou Yanqing, unlike Jishuitan Hospital, which directly eliminated Zhou Yanqing.

It was Zhou Yanqing who was unwilling to come to Huashan Hospital to study.

"I'm looking forward to Xiao Zhou's performance tomorrow. After the young guys in our department came back, they all praised Xiao Zhou a little too much." Xie Nong said.

"Why don't you thank Teacher Xie quickly? Teacher Xie is a top expert in functional reconstruction surgery."

Zhou Yanqing hurriedly did as he was told, but he felt that his teacher was not so relaxed at the moment.

Time flies, and two days have passed in a flash!

While trying hard to suppress the dizziness he felt after being stuffed with so much knowledge, Zhou Yanqing looked at Tan Zhongyu, who no longer had the energy to show off his "I'm a studious" label.

I couldn't bear it and felt a little sad.

"Master, do you want to eat something before leaving?" It's already six o'clock on Sunday!
"Forget it. If you want to eat, buy something when you get to the airport."

"I have something else to do when I get back, I'm in a hurry!"

"I won't have dinner with you tonight." Tan Zhongyu said while looking at the time.

"Also, the surgery for that patient in the department will have to be postponed for now. Let's postpone it to next Friday!"

"Let's work together to discuss this surgery," said Tan Zhongyu.

Surgery is not child's play.

An operation that has never been performed in the department is not to be taken lightly when it is performed for the first time. An operation like Bed 16, which has never been performed before, is even more so not to be taken lightly.

Zhou Yanqing nodded: "Okay, Master!"

All beginnings are hard.

For this kind of surgery, it is not a problem to prepare for a few more days or even a few more months. However, the patient is already in the hospital, and it is definitely not a good idea to delay it forever.

Zhou Yanqing was confident that he would not make his surgery worse, but the improvement of theory would be slow, so it would definitely be unscientific to keep waiting.

It would be great if there were animal test models!

"Hmm?" Zhou Yanqing's eyes suddenly lit up when he thought of this.

Yes, you can improve your proficiency through animal experimental models and continuous practice in the gym.

Although the level of my functional reconstruction skills is very low, if there is a corresponding animal test model, I can work on it for a few days and maybe I can reach the proficient level.

Do it when you think of it!

"Master, do you know where I can get an animal test model for functional reconstruction? I want to try it in advance!" Zhou Yanqing suddenly asked.

Tan Zhongyu proposed this idea last week, but most of the time, the two of them spent studying theory.

Therefore, Zhou Yanqing didn't think about it in this regard.

It is indeed too late now. If you want to cram at the last minute, the right thing to do is to improve your operating level!
"Let me ask." Tan Zhongyu did not ask Zhou Yanqing what he wanted to do.

It is very normal to practice in advance.

Tan Zhongyu acted quickly and replied to Zhou Yanqing that evening: "Yanqing, I got a batch of rabbit models."

"It will be sent directly to the animal testing laboratory of our hospital. Please receive it."

"The current price of this model is still very expensive, 1,500 yuan each!"

"Each one is enough for us to have several meals of rabbit meat." Tan Zhongyu complained.

Zhou Yanqing gritted his teeth when he heard this: "Master, how many did you get?"

"Twenty!" said Tan Zhongyu.

Well, thirty thousand dollars is gone just like that.

As expected, learning new techniques not only takes time, energy, and effort, but also costs money!

Zhou Yanqing did not immediately go to the animal testing room to check things out, but continued to accompany Chen Yu for supper! !

After eating, Zhou Yanqing first sent Chen Yu home, and then hurried to the basic cell laboratory to video chat with Chen Yu.

He is definitely an "ascetic monk"!
Chen Yu was moved by Zhou Yanqing's tenacity and took the initiative to say, "Xiao Shitou, you should go back quickly. I still need to write a notice. Our school will have the final exam next week."

"What???"

"The exam is next week, and you are writing the notice now?" Zhou Yanqing was very curious.

"Yeah, don't you know? Schools nowadays are not allowed to make students' grades and rankings public, so when the time comes, just fill in the grades."

"Grades one and two are not allowed to organize final exams together!" Chen Yu explained to Zhou Yanqing.

Zhou Yanqing shook his head and said: "Then the world has really changed..."

Zhou Yanqing doesn't have children, so he doesn't pay attention to the details of these educational changes.

After hanging up the video, Zhou Yanqing first expressed his gratitude to Senior Brother Lu, and then quickly began to process his own groups of cells.

About four hours later, at two o'clock in the morning, the primary antibody incubation of WB was completed! Zhou Yanqing sent it to the incubator to incubate the secondary antibody by himself before returning home.

The secondary antibody incubation takes twenty-four hours, so I might have to stay up late tomorrow!

This is the daily life of an academic doctoral student.

Now it has become Zhou Yanqing's daily routine.

……

Thursday!

At eight o'clock in the morning, Zhou Yanqing was yawning while doing rounds, and there were bloodshot eyes. Only then did Tan Zhongyu finally notice something was wrong!
"Come with me!" Tan Zhongyu directly pulled up Zhou Yanqing, who was preparing to review and archive the discharge medical records.

"Where have you been?" Tan Zhongyu asked coldly.

Zhou Yanqing raised his eyelids with great effort: "Master, I have been in the animal testing room for the past few days and have finished operating on those twenty rabbit models!"

"The rest of the time, I'm either in the library or in the basic laboratory."

Zhou Yanqing's expression was very sincere, indicating that he was not losing his ambition due to playing around.

Tan Zhongyu said: "This is what you did."

"You're going to have surgery tomorrow. How are you going to perform that surgery tomorrow in the condition you're in today?"

Tan Zhongyu's tone was very harsh and he was also criticizing!

Zhou Yanqing heard this and said with a smile: "Master, don't worry, I can rest after I finish one more scratch experiment today. I can sleep until tomorrow morning!"

Zhou Yanqing's mouth was wide open, looking harmless.

"You stayed up late last night, and you will look at the medical records later and then go to the laboratory, right?" asked Tan Zhongyu.

Zhou Yanqing nodded.

What else can we do?
"It's great to be young!" Tan Zhongyu finally couldn't bear to curse anymore.

Zhou Yanqing is so stubborn that he is seriously ill!
"Go, get some rest! You have surgery tomorrow, so you must not let it affect your performance."

"You've been the chief resident for a while now. It's time to quit," said Tan Zhongyu.

It is almost July now, and the first-year doctoral students will arrive soon. There is also a student in the same class as Zhou Yanqing, and he is going to hand over the task to him.

Free up some of Zhou Yanqing's time. Now that he has a resume, he will have a lot more free time in the future.

"Thank you, Master!" Zhou Yanqing said with a smile.

As a result, Tan Zhongyu dismissed Zhou Yanqing's assistant as the hospital director that day and asked Lin Hua to take over Zhou Yanqing's current task.

As for the medical record review and doctor's order review that Lin Hua had previously done, Tan Zhongyu temporarily handed it back to Ling Qiyuan, who would take over after the new doctoral student arrived.

The next day, July 7st.

After fourteen hours of sleep, Zhou Yanqing finally woke up at six forty in the morning.

I went downstairs and had a bowl of rice noodles, added double codes, and instantly I felt like I was alive again!
It was already 7:20 when I slowly arrived at the department.

This time was not too late, but Zhou Yanqing discovered that Tan Zhongyu arrived earlier than him and had already brought the film of bed 16 into the office for study.

Zhou Yanqing looked up and saw that his functional reconstruction technique had reached the proficient 2/3 level. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and stepped in.

Tan Zhongyu was in a pretty good mood today. He was studying the printed films while comparing them with the films in the system.

Hearing Zhou Yanqing's voice, he put down the MRI film in his hand and said, "Yanqing, the surgery will be done today. Whether it succeeds or not, it will be today!"

"Are you confident?"

"There will be no problem in completing the operation!" Zhou Yanqing nodded.
