Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 215 Routine Surgery (Subscription Request)

"Xiao Shitou, I thought Professor Tan was a very serious person? I didn't expect him to be so amiable!~" After returning from dinner, Chen Yu took Zhou Yanqing's arm, his tone full of surprise and joy.

Zhou Yanqing's teacher has always existed only in "legend".

If Chen Yu was not Zhou Yanqing's girlfriend, she could only have the opportunity to meet Tan Zhongyu if she registered. How could she have the chance to have dinner with him?
For ordinary people, being a teacher in Shashi is already a certain level of professional achievement, but how many teachers are there in Shashi?

How many professors are there?
"Friendly?" Zhou Yanqing was stunned.

"If Master heard you describe him like this, I believe he would be very happy."

Are you kidding? Tan Zhongyu is so amiable?

The old professor who has been working in clinical practice for so many years may be amiable, but that's because you haven't seen what really makes him angry.

Tan Zhongyu has experienced a lot of things. He looks very elegant on weekdays, but in the outpatient clinic and clinical setting, when he quarrels with patients, he will become very dignified and will ignore you completely.

Besides, what did Tan Zhongyu do when he was at Hengda Affiliated High School?

He was disdainful of Zhou Yanqing in person, but tried to get close to him in private.

You call this affable?

Chen Yu carefully noticed Zhou Yanqing's expression and licked his lips with his tongue: "Isn't it?"

"Do you want to think about it? Maybe it's because your name is Chen Yu that Master is so kind and amiable?"

“Although some of the online comments about professors at Xiangya Hospital are too extreme, their relatively cool positioning is still very accurate.”

"It's not that they don't want to be close to the people. Just do the math yourself. Professor Tan is fifty years old this year. He has been doing outpatient work for twenty years since he started as an attending physician."

"Even if I see the outpatient clinic once a week, that's 50 patients, that's 2,600 a year, and 50,000 outpatients in 20 years!"

"Not counting the plus sign, how do you expect him to be amiable?"

"There are so many people and we've seen it so many times that we become numb to it!" Zhou Yanqing did not speak for the teacher, but just gave an explanation.

Doctors are the most ruthless. They may just kill a patient after failed rescue efforts a second ago, and then turn around and eat and drink to their heart's content, and still be talking and laughing.

Ordinary people don’t even dare to kill a chicken, but in the hands of a doctor, the scalpel can be used in many ways. The person lying on the ground is a human being, so when it comes to cutting, there will be absolutely no hesitation!
Of course, it was this kind of swift and decisive action that saved many lives.

"That's why Professor Tan is kinder to me because I'm your girlfriend." Chen Yu felt a little weird.

"How about putting it another way? I think you're great, so my master loves you and your whole life as well?" The two of them have been together for so long, Zhou Yanqing is not so straightforward anymore, so he picked out some nice words to say.

Generally speaking, it is not difficult for people who can read to say nice things. It just depends on whether they are willing to spend the time and effort to do so.

If Zhou Yanqing is extremely busy every day, he will not be able to say some interesting words in the right situation and in the right atmosphere.

I'm so tired and just want to rest. You want me to be your one-sided emotional support?

Life is like this, it can’t always be passionate, there must be times of calmness.

……

The next day, Zhou Yanqing got up twenty minutes earlier than usual because he stayed at Chen Yu's house, which was some distance away from Xiangya Hospital.

Although Zhou Yanqing no longer had to participate in ward rounds on weekends, he had an appointment with his master Tan Zhongyu. In order to focus on his research on animal experiments, Tan Zhongyu even postponed the consultation and surgery.

How dare Zhou Yanqing stand up?

The two-day weekend was not very rewarding except for being busy and tired.

However, Zhou Yanqing and Tan Zhongyu smiled at each other. Such a fulfilling day is still worth enjoying.

After leaving the animal laboratory, Zhou Yanqing took the initiative to stand behind Tan Zhongyu and massaged his shoulders: "Master, please don't come to the laboratory next week. Just come occasionally to take charge of the overall situation."

"For these small matters, I can just call a junior fellow apprentice to help."

When people get old, they no longer rely on their muscles and bones for strength.

Tan Zhongyu is already fifty years old. If he continues to work like this these days, Zhou Yanqing is really afraid that his teacher will die.

Of course Zhou Yanqing also knew that Tan Zhongyu was very much looking forward to the team developing a new suturing procedure, promoting it to the hand surgery community, and providing it for peers around the world to participate in.

This is what every aspiring surgeon wants to do.

"Alright!"

"It's true that I'm not young anymore. I really hope I could be ten years younger!" Tan Zhongyu had to admit that he was getting old.

Now when he performs surgery, he no longer relies on physical strength, but on technology, completing the key parts and leaving the rest to his subordinates.

A busy day in the animal testing laboratory is more tiring than doing surgery for a week straight.

"Master, let me take you back. Tomorrow, after we finish checking the ward, we will go outside to perform surgery and relax." Zhou Yanqing said.

"Okay." Tan Zhongyu didn't want to say anything else at this moment.

I am really tired.

The surgery days in the group are Tuesday and Friday, but Tan Zhongyu is awesome enough that if a consultation surgery is wanted, he can choose any hospital in the province.

For example, tomorrow, Tan Zhongyu will go to the Eighth Hospital for a consultation surgery, and then go to Boya Hospital for a consultation surgery, both in the Star District.

Zhou Yanqing also followed decisively. He was still short of more than ten machines for his daily task of transposition. If he could do one more, he could complete it earlier and refresh the new daily task.

"Yanqing, how is your notebook going?"

"Although it is not difficult to apply for provincial-level projects, you still need to be careful." Tan Zhongyu asked in the co-pilot seat.

"Master, I showed it to Brother Ning Zhu, and he said I didn't want to show it to him anymore." Zhou Yanqing showed himself in a joking manner.

Why did Ning Zhu say not to show it to him? Wasn't it because Zhou Yanqing's writing was already of a high enough standard?

"Yeah!" Tan Zhongyu nodded.

Then he asked, "Yanqing, do you plan to stay in the group for this series of topics, or do you plan to take them with you?"

While waiting for the traffic light, Zhou Yanqing tilted his head, somewhat confused by what was said.

Tan Zhongyu continued to explain: "If you stay in the research group, you can give some to your juniors and let them build some small channels."

"If you want to go out and teach students yourself and continue to go deeper, then do more yourself."

Tan Zhongyu's voice was very calm, but to Zhou Yanqing, it sounded different.

"Master, I'm still young, and I don't even know when I started teaching students."

"I'm willing to stay." Zhou Yanqing said.

What Tan Zhongyu meant by leaving was not leaving Xiangya Hospital, but setting up his own business.

Tan Zhongyu's tone sounded as if he was talking about a previous separation.

Zhou Yanqing knew that this day would come sooner or later, but he didn't want it to come so soon.

Brother Ning Zhu is still in the research group, why did Tan Zhongyu say this to him?

"I thought you wanted to start your own business sooner?"

“I’ve been struggling with that.”

"Teamwork is the core competitiveness. One person? After all, the energy is limited." Tan Zhongyu then breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Yanqing also breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Tan Zhongyu was going to force him to split the family property!
……

Both operations on Monday were performed by Zhou Yanqing.

In the past, Zhou Yanqing had gone to the hospital alone for surgery under Tan Zhongyu's instructions, so this time, Zhou Yanqing did not feel any discomfort.

Although, the orthopedic doctors from Shaxi Eighth Hospital and Boya Hospital were a little nervous when they saw Tan Zhongyu go on stage, they stood in the assistant seat.

But with Tan Zhongyu present, they didn't dare to say anything more.

After the operation, Zhou Yanqing’s mobile phone address book had several more phone numbers of directors.

And also sent a message of condolence:
"Hello, Dr. Zhou. I am Dong Cheng from the Eighth Hospital. I hope we can have more opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Dong Cheng is the director of the Second Orthopedic Department of Shashi Eighth Hospital. Shashi Eighth Hospital currently has two wards, Ward One focuses on trauma and Ward Two focuses on hand surgery.

Zhou Yanqing replied: "Please feel free to give me some advice, Director Dong."

"I don't deserve your advice. Dr. Zhou, your level is much higher than mine. When you were the main surgeon today, I was still grumbling in my heart."

"But I thought Professor Tan Zhongyu would not do anything reckless. I didn't expect this to open my eyes."

"Dr. Zhou, you should teach more."

"Keep in touch in the future!~"

Unlike the Eighth Shaxi Hospital, Boya Hospital is a private tertiary hospital that does not perform surgery but only admits patients.

As soon as they admitted a patient, they would invite professors from various hospitals in Shashi to perform the surgery. In fact, the surgeries they could perform were only comparable to those performed in a county-level hospital.

"Hello, Dr. Zhou, I'm Tao Yuanbin from Boya Hospital!"

"You are Professor Tan Zhongyu's best student and favorite disciple, and your skills are very good. I hope you can come to our hospital for consultation and surgery more often in the future. The price is negotiable."

It's so mercenary!

In addition to providing services instead of technology, Boya Hospital’s main feature is its excellent attitude towards patients.

I heard that sometimes the doctors here don’t wear white coats, but uniforms used exclusively by the hospital.

It is also an exception.

"I am still a doctor and my surgical authority is not high. I can only perform surgery following my teacher. Thank you Director Tao for your kindness!~" Zhou Yanqing responded coldly.

To be honest, Zhou Yanqing looked down on such people.

Although, Tao Yuanbin did nothing wrong and he knew his own limitations.

But a surgeon has turned himself into a service industry and medical intermediary, not by learning the technology himself, but simply by "importing" the technology.

This is contrary to Zhou Yanqing’s understanding of surgeons!
Why did Tan Zhongyu come? Because he was given a lot.

Xiangya Hospital is located in Shashi. Some wealthy people are willing to pay a high price to live in Boya and enjoy higher quality services. They ask him to perform surgery. So why not come?
One is willing to fight, the other is willing to be beaten, it's a matter of mutual consent.

Zhou Yanqing had just gotten his driver's license, and there was heavy traffic on Monday night, so Tan Zhongyu was driving.

Perhaps noticing Zhou Yanqing's expression, Tan Zhongyu explained, "Yanqing, I brought you to Boya today to let you experience the various aspects of life."

“There are many types of doctors, and there are many types of patients.”

"At the gate of our hospital, there are many patients who cannot afford treatment, but there are also many places where there are 'aristocrats' who do not regard money as money!"

"After we have seen every aspect of this world more honestly, our cognition and worldly experience will be expanded."

Zhou Yanqing nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, Master, I really didn't think of these things before."

"It's actually very easy to understand." Tan Zhongyu said meaningfully.

Zhou Yanqing thought about it carefully and then he understood.

Most of those who can work at Boya Hospital are not very skilled but want to get a very high salary. They can't stand working in public hospitals.

In fact, there is no need to be too extreme. There are many service industries in this world.

Those who are willing to treat medical services as a service industry and want to earn the money can just do so.

No one forced Zhou Yanqing to earn this money.

"Master, I will study the skills well and cherish every learning opportunity." Zhou Yanqing responded sincerely.

Tan Zhongyu looked left and right and saw that he was approaching a traffic light, so he quickly braked to slow down and then slowly started to brake.

Then he looked at Zhou Yanqing with a complicated expression: "You?"

But in the end, Tan Zhongyu was speechless.

Zhou Yanqing is very talented and works very hard, which is a good thing, but it seems a bit too much.

And this has already formed a fixed mindset in Zhou Yanqing's mind.

But what Tan Zhongyu wants to say is, you are almost invincible among your peers, brother?

Can you give others a chance to live? Can't you give some respect to those elder brothers who are older than you?

Young people have no moral principles and are determined to fight to the death!
Worthy of being the king of volumes.

"Get out of the car!" Tan Zhongyu said nothing along the way. After stopping the car at the gate of Zhou Yanqing's community, he ordered a little angrily.

"Thank you, Master!" Zhou Yanqing didn't know how he had offended his teacher, so he ran away quickly.

Looking at Zhou Yanqing's back as he ran into the community, Tan Zhongyu started laughing again.

Zhou Yanqing looks very mature and does things maturely, but in fact he is still a child in some aspects.

Children are more obedient and willing to be good kids.

There is nothing wrong with working hard, being motivated and being studious.

This student is generally good, but he doesn't know how to enjoy life.

Tan Zhongyu also hopes that Zhou Yanqing can combine work and rest. There is no need to carry everything on his shoulders. The hospital needs to develop and the department needs to improve, and there is no rush.

on Tuesday.

After the ward rounds, Tan Zhongyu announced: "Starting today, our department will gradually incorporate functional reconstruction surgeries into the regular schedule."

"In the future, we will basically have one functional reconstruction surgery every day, and the number of other surgeries will be slightly reduced."

"Huang Xianming, Liu Qingshan, when you are in the outpatient clinic, please be careful when admitting patients. Do not admit patients with soft tissue and skin defects."

"Let them go to the city hospital."

"We don't have enough bed resources in our department, so we'll try to reserve them for patients with functional disorders who can't be treated elsewhere." Tan Zhongyu made the arrangements coldly and ruthlessly.

"Okay!" The big brothers in the group gave the order, and Huang Xianming and Liu Qingshan could only nod in agreement.

Then they all looked at Zhou Yanqing at the same time, who was the culprit.

In the crowd, Fan Yunsong, who came from the Second Hospital for "exchange", listened silently to Tan Zhongyu and others showing off, not daring to interrupt.
