Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 216: Successfully robbing money (Subscription required)
Tuesday, September 9, 15: p.m.

After leaving the one-day "Surgery Observation Deck", Fan Yunsong left Xiangya Hospital.

Fan Yunsong was only here for exchanges and was not an employee of Xiangya Hospital. His surgery day was also staggered with that of the Second Hospital, so his time was relatively free.

In addition to watching the surgery at Xiangya Hospital on the surgery day, you can also attend the surgery day at the Second Hospital as usual.

Professor Tang Chengqiang's surgery days are Wednesday and Thursday.

Geological Home Community near the Second Hospital, Building 1802, Unit , .

After Fan Yunsong knocked on the door, Tang Chengqiang opened it from the inside.

"Yunsong, come in and sit down."

"There will be two separate surgeries tomorrow, and you may need to take one of them." Tang Chengqiang directly stated the arrangements for tomorrow's surgery.

The surgery for Wednesday will be scheduled on Tuesday.

"Okay, Director Tang." Fan Yunsong skillfully put on his black rubber slippers that were missing a corner and followed Tang Chengqiang inside.

The houses in the community all have four bedrooms and a living room with an indoor area of ​​about 100 square meters. The living room is not very large. This is one of the residences that Tang Chengqiang bought near the hospital for convenience of work.

I only rest here occasionally, so there is no worldly atmosphere.

"Professor Tang, aren't you going home for dinner today?" Fan Yunsong hadn't eaten yet, and was slightly surprised when he saw the takeaway on Tang Chengqiang's table.

"If you're hungry, let's eat together. It's okay as long as you don't mind that I've already eaten." Tang Chengqiang said casually.

"You came here directly after the operation and haven't eaten yet. What do we surgeons have to complain about?" Fan Yunsong directly picked up a pair of disposable chopsticks and opened a fully packaged box of rice.

He took two bites of the food on the table and continued, "Director Tang, I have heard and confirmed that Professor Tan and Zhou Yanqing are really developing a new suturing procedure."

“It just started recently.”

No wind, no wave.

When Fan Yunsong mentioned this before, Tang Chengqiang knew that this must be true.

Tang Chengqiang frowned upon hearing this: "Director Tan is planning something extraordinary!"

"Although today's scientific research is becoming more and more specialized and there are indeed more research directions, it is becoming increasingly difficult to make some substantial breakthroughs."

"New surgical procedures and new suturing methods are areas that have been trodden on countless times by other predecessors."

"I don't know what Director Tan is thinking."

After Tang Chengqiang finished speaking, he added: "However, Zhou Yanqing's basic skills have indeed reached the stage where he can develop basic specialized techniques on his own."

It is not so easy to create new techniques. First of all, you must have strong basic skills to ensure that you can easily solve any unexpected situations.

Some things are similar to starting a business. If you don’t have strong financial support, a small accident may prevent you from recovering and you may end up in huge debt.

"Director Tang, what if Director Tan really develops it?"

"What should we do then?" After hearing this, Fan Yunsong lost his appetite.

If Fan Yunsong worked at the Provincial Hospital, he wouldn't have to think about such things at all.

Tan Zhongyu has developed a new technique, all you have to do is learn it.

But after all, Fan Yunsong works in the Second Hospital, which is a sister unit of Xiangya Hospital.

In principle, the Second Hospital's requirement for the Department of Hand Surgery is to "defeat" the Xiangya Hospital.

It's not the kind that uses conspiracy or tricks, but the kind that firmly suppresses the opponent in terms of comprehensive strength.

But I’m sorry, this has always been Xiangya Hospital’s goal for the province.

Get to the front!

"What should we do? Is it useful to be anxious?" Tang Chengqiang opened the cigarette box and threw a cigarette to Fan Yunsong.

After lighting it with a click, he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "Two ideas, one is to retreat and avoid the table, the other is to find another way."

"Backing off is definitely not an option, and neither is looking for another way!"

"Even if it's Yan Qing or our top hand surgeon, the chance of creating a new surgical procedure is only 10%."

"What I'm talking about is creating new, truly meaningful techniques, not just minor innovations."

"Many people will delay in this regard, which has both advantages and disadvantages."

"We don't have such conditions, so we have to turn to other diseases. When you start to work as an outpatient, you will know that there are too many frustrations in clinical practice."

Fan Yunsong nodded: "Human power is limited."

“Maybe you won’t be able to appreciate this until you sit in the outpatient clinic.”

Whether it is the Second Hospital, Huashan Hospital, or top hospitals like Jishuitan Hospital, they all said this in the outpatient clinic: your disease cannot be cured and there is no way to treat it now.

Modern medicine is indeed becoming more and more advanced, and many diseases that were previously considered difficult to treat now have better solutions.

But with the advancement of technology and the sophistication of inspection methods, more and more problems are being inspected more carefully.

Even in hand surgery, where flap transplantation is a very mature field, there are still many areas that can be explored.

Today’s skin flap transplantation is actually still in its early stages. After skin flap transplantation, problems such as bulging skin at the transplanted site, ugly appearance, weakened sensation, and nerve pain have not actually been solved!
Everyone wants to solve it, but no one has found a suitable solution.

The skin and soft tissue defects have certainly been solved, which is an improvement, but it is not yet a complete improvement.

No one knows how the next step will proceed.

"Director Tang, do you mean that Zhou Yanqing and Director Tan may end up with nothing?" Fan Yunsong asked.

Fan Yunsong's choice of words was more cautious, including the word "maybe".

"Of course it's possible, and it's more likely, at least from a statistical point of view."

“But it is not ruled out that they get just the right inspiration and can really make a breakthrough.”

"Ugh…"

"Sometimes if you don't make progress fast enough, outsiders will think you are a sinner." Tang Chengqiang sighed, put the cigarette holder back into his mouth, took a deep breath and said nothing.

Fan Yunsong was really a little hungry, so he ate for nearly half a minute. After swallowing, he said, "Director Tang, I actually hope that Director Tan and the others can succeed."

"In this way, even if we don't get the best development benefits, we will definitely be in the first tier."

Xiangya Hospital is located in Hunan Province. The Second Hospital and Xiangya Hospital are sister hospitals, and broken bones are connected as tendons.

If there really is any new surgical procedure, other hospitals in Hunan Province will be able to get fresh soup instead of leftovers from other places.

"I hope so. Nowadays, it is very difficult for hand surgery to make a big step forward, no matter which hospital it is in."

“Small steps forward don’t mean much.”

"We still need talents. I don't know when we can meet a talent like Zhou Yanqing to bring some changes to the department." Tang Chengqiang sighed again.

How great would it be if Zhou Yanqing was in the Second Hospital?

However, this is just wishful thinking after all. If Tan Zhongyu had met Zhou Yanqing first, Zhou Yanqing would not have come to the Second Hospital.

Good talents are hard to come by...

After the surgery.

Tan Zhongyu stopped Zhou Yanqing, wearing a blue surgical cap, and rubbed his hair: "Yanqing, do you have any new insights into your functional reconstruction technique?"

"I see that your proficiency today seems to have improved a bit compared to last time."

Tan Zhongyu's tone and eyes were weird, but Zhou Yanqing couldn't see Tan Zhongyu's expression, otherwise he would have discovered that the three monsters were one. Zhou Yanqing glanced at the function reconstruction on his panel and found that it had reached the specialization 4/5, and was only 1 level away from the expert level.

Expecting that it wouldn't take long to break through, he nodded gently: "Master, I have gained something."

Tan Zhongyu immediately rolled his eyes: "You call this a casual gain? You call this a regular gain!"

"Oh my god." Tan Zhongyu even used internet slang. He really didn't know how to complain.

He and Zhou Yanqing barely started from the same starting line, how long has it been? In less than a few months, Zhou Yanqing has left him far behind.

During this period, Zhou Yanqing also specifically learned model design for animal experiments.

If it weren't for the delay, Zhou Yanqing's current level of proficiency would be unimaginable.

This speed is a bit scary.

Tan Zhongyu even felt that Zhou Yanqing's current level might be comparable to those professors at Jishuitan.

Functional reconstruction surgery is currently in its very early stages and everyone is just beginning to carry it out. However, the threshold for implementation is very high and 99% of doctors cannot even get an admission ticket.

"In that case, I think the live broadcast of the surgery may have a different effect." Tan Zhongyu's eyes suddenly rolled and he changed the subject.

"Should? No way?" Zhou Yanqing himself wasn't sure.

Zhou Yanqing originally thought that the improvement of his functional reconstruction skills would have to be done one machine at a time.

But I didn't expect that each time I operated one, the number of operations would be hundreds.

I have only built less than ten machines, but I have already activated several medals, which has caused my experience points to increase rapidly.

Now, it will soon be possible to reach the expert level.

However, the definition of the realistic level of this new surgical procedure, functional reconstruction, is currently particularly unclear.

There is no definition of who is doing well and who is not.

It’s still at the stage where being able to do something is awesome.

"Whether it will happen or not, I don't know, let's wait and see."

"Yanqing, you are really my lucky star, and also the lucky star of our department!"

"MD, I'm going to see Director Lei again. This time, even if we have a quarrel and fight with the Finance Department, I will still ask for some performance rewards from you." After making this decision, Tan Zhongyu left in a hurry.

Zhou Yanqing was stunned, as if his master was the student, quite immature.

Zhou Yanqing hurriedly ran up: "Master, Master."

"No, not really."

"The money I get now is quite comfortable, better than most of the new employees! ~"

New employees at Xiangya Hospital only earn more than 10,000 yuan a month. They don’t perform their own surgeries, nor do they have the opportunity to be the lead surgeon. They are divided based on their public performance.

The income is actually not high. Only when you reach the stage of attending physician or associate professor, can you perform surgery yourself and get more stand fees, and the cost of surgery will be high.

Tan Zhongyu turned around and said, "Quarrel and fight are just two terms."

"Did I really use a carrying pole or a table to hit someone?"

"I'm going to ask for some treatment for you," said Tan Zhongyu.

"Don't worry about this kind of thing. There is no such thing as working for free in this world. If you want to work for free, you should work for me. Why should you work for free in a hospital?"

Tan Zhongyu was the first to speak up for Zhou Yanqing.

Zhou Yanqing: “…”

Master, should I say that you love me or should I say that you exploit me?
……

Zhou Yanqing had no way of caring about what Tan Zhongyu had already decided.

After Zhou Yanqing left the hospital, he headed straight towards Chen Yu's community.

The two are still in the honeymoon period and have a close relationship. After get off work, Chen Yu went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and now she is making braised spareribs for Zhou Yanqing at home.

Of course Zhou Yanqing had to go and help. He planned to go to the laboratory after dinner or just leave today's task to his junior.

Tan Zhongyu called at lunchtime.

Chen Yu was no longer surprised. Zhou Yanqing's master talked to Zhou Yanqing more frequently than Zhou Yanqing's fellow apprentices. The two seemed like friends and would call each other whenever they had time.

"Master, have you eaten?" Zhou Yanqing asked.

"I just finished drinking and asked you for 0.4 performance points. You are so stingy!~"

"At least a newcomer gets 0.75!" Tan Zhongyu cursed.

Zhou Yanqing immediately said, "Thank you, Master?"

"Do you want me to pick you up?"

"No need, I just had a few beers."

"Tomorrow, we will go to the hospital for an orthopedic surgery. Please get ready and we will go there after we finish the ward rounds." Tan Zhongyu told him about the other arrangements.

"Okay, thank you Master!" Zhou Yanqing accepted the teacher's feeding with peace of mind.

In terms of the relationship between master and apprentice, Zhou Yanqing is hardworking, filial, outstanding, team-oriented, and caring towards his fellow apprentices.

This is the duty of an apprentice. Today's society does not require Zhou Yanqing to kneel at the door of Tan Zhongyu to listen to his teachings.

After this, Tan Zhongyu hung up the phone.

Of course, Chen Yu on the opposite side still had his brain frozen.

He raised his head in astonishment, looked around for a while, and then said, "Little Stone, is your master really fierce?"

"You haven't even started working yet, but you really got the performance bonus?"

Just now Tan Zhongyu said that those who have just joined the company have a performance coefficient of 0.75, but brother, that is someone else's job. Others come here to work, and of course the purpose of working is to earn money.

Zhou Yanqing is just a student, not an employee of our institute. There is no law that requires him to receive performance bonuses? ? ?

If you go to labor arbitration, others will just think that you are crazy. When you are a student, do you want to get more than your superiors?
This is Xiangya Hospital, a hospital directly under the National Health Commission, not a small workshop. Tan Zhongyu actually managed to make this deal.

This is simply a miracle, Tan Zhongyu's firepower is really strong.

“I wasn’t actually looking forward to it!”

"I don't think there has ever been such a precedent in the hospital. If Dean Lei wasn't from our orthopedics department, my master would definitely not have been able to reach an agreement."

"It's great to have a master, and it's even better to have a fierce master!" Zhou Yanqing smiled happily.

"Xiao Shitou, does that mean your monthly income will be higher than mine in the future?"

Chen Yu immediately covered his face and said, "Being a teacher is so poor."

Zhou Yanqing quickly thought about it: "So Teacher Chen and the great writer Chen can still suppress me."

"Really? Beauty, can I interview you?" Zhou Yanqing used chopsticks as a microphone to express his inner joy.

Being a PhD student and getting performance rewards from the hospital is just stealing money!

And I got it.
