Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 319 Preliminary Preparations (Subscription Request)

After watching Tang Chengqian leave, Zhou Yanqing reported to his master the entire conversation with Professor Tang Chengqian.

Master Tan Zhongyu didn't say much, so Zhou Yanqing didn't care about it anymore...

Saturday, May 29th.

Saturday is the weekend and should be a day of rest, but such a day of rest has nothing to do with Zhou Yanqing.

Emergency Department, Trauma Center Lounge.

After Zhou Yanqing finished the emergency surgery, he came inside to rest and have lunch.

On the upper bunk, Gong Zhenyu and Tan Wei were snoring loudly, probably because they were exhausted after getting off work.

Lin Yuxuan and Yan Huanyu were on standby duty, sitting around the table with Zhou Yanqing to prepare dishes.

Lin Yuxuan, who had just arrived, looked more tired than Yan Huanyu, and was taciturn. He lowered his head and just focused on eating. He no longer had the smile on his face that Zhou Yanqing had seen him before.

Trauma centers are very stressful.

"Yanqing, let me show you a piece of data, the trauma center rescue data table for May." Yan Huanyu sent a table to Zhou Yanqing on WeChat.

"Why are you showing it to me? Are you trying to use moral blackmail on me?" Zhou Yanqing rolled his eyes at him.

Brother, you are an orthopedic surgeon at least, right?

In this world, some are rich while others are poor, some laugh while others cry.

"You take a look first..." Yan Huanyu said.

Zhou Yanqing just glanced at it when he heard it.

The death toll has increased from __- to nearly ——_.

What I mean is that before, when Zhou Yanqing and the director Professor Lin Changhong each guarded for one day or the first and second half of a day, they could almost avoid the deaths of most emergency patients.

The first aid efficiency is quite high.

After Zhou Yanqing left, no one could replace Zhou Yanqing's position, so the "manpower" that Zhou Yanqing had when he was there could not be filled.

Unless Professor Lin Changhong's duty hours are extended to double the previous time.

This is no joke.

Zhou Yanqing himself knows very well how effective the national-level hemostasis technique is in emergency trauma first aid.

But this does not affect Zhou Yanqing's current mentality.

Everyone’s social role is different. Zhou Yanqing was first a hand surgeon.

And, on a broader level, it is relatively easier to train a top-notch emergency physician than a hand surgeon.

In an emergency trauma center, you only need to have sufficient knowledge of hemostasis and incision to be able to handle it well, but in hand surgery, this is just the basics...

It’s not that hand surgery is more advanced than trauma centers, but that the social responsibilities they bear are different.

The trauma center saves lives and the specialists treat illnesses.

"Brother Yan, what do you want to say?" Zhou Yanqing asked back. Zhou Yanqing was in a very calm mood.

Even if Yan Huanyu scolded him, he didn't care.

If his family is wealthy and he can work in the medical field from the beginning and focus on curing diseases and saving lives without any worries, Zhou Yanqing can consider staying in the trauma center.

But everyone's family circumstances are different. If Zhou Yanqing wants to gain a foothold in Shashi, he has to be self-reliant.

"Nothing, Yanqing, I just want to say that it's better when you are around."

Yan Huanyu glanced at the silent Lin Yuxuan.

Then he said, "Yanqing, I also want to go back to junior college."

After Lin Yuxuan came, there was a sharp contrast with when Zhou Yanqing was here, so it is possible that Professor Lin Changhong was too weird.

"But I haven't completed enough work yet, so I can only get by by working longer hours," said Yan Huanyu.

Zhou Yanqing's sudden departure made Professor Lin Changhong realize that it would be very difficult for him to gain a foothold and retain a group of capable people since he had just arrived at Xiangya Hospital.

So Professor Lin Changhong set down the rules.

Once you come here, just stay here honestly and properly. Either you make outstanding contributions and save many very difficult and complicated cases, otherwise just be honest.

A trauma center can be a place where you can get promoted, but you have to have the right attitude.

Perhaps in order to motivate his subordinates to work hard, Lin Changhong established a workload system, which comprehensively counts everyone's contribution to the rescue, allowing you to return to the specialist department ahead of schedule, thereby stimulating everyone's enthusiasm.

"This is good. There is hope if you work hard." Zhou Yanqing smiled, feeling very calm.

"Professor Lin recruited two PhDs and one Master's degree this time, they are all pretty good..." Yan Huanyu said.

……

After leaving the trauma center, Zhou Yanqing looked back.

I'm not conflicted, I just miss this more fulfilling, day and night life, but I don't envy it, nor do I want to look back and immerse myself in it.

If Zhou Yanqing's choice was wrong, then most doctors in other specialties will be morally condemned and judged, not just Zhou Yanqing alone.

If we really want to manage from the source, returning to the era of slower transportation would be the most effective measure to control trauma mortality rates.

But in this way, some non-traumatic emergency patients will not be able to get to the hospital...

After Zhou Yanqing returned to the ward, Yu Yue happily moved closer and said, "Yanqing, did you see the video I sent you?"

"Did I learn your method of suturing? At least that's what the data in the training room shows, right?"

Yu Yue was very happy.

Because the suturing method was new, he only lagged behind Ning Zhu by ten days to reach the same level, which made Yu Yue very happy.

You know, Ning Zhu is three years older than Yu Yue! ~
"Brother Yue, there's no way I was wrong. Congratulations." Zhou Yanqing replied with a smile.

To learn new suturing methods, certain basic skills are required.

After practicing with other brothers in the department, Zhou Yanqing found that if the basic skills could reach 4/5 of the specialization, he would be able to quickly master the new suturing method.

If you don't reach it, you will only get the form but not the essence.

If the basic proficiency level is higher than this, the speed will be faster.

For example, Tan Zhongyu and Huang Xianming were already able to develop new suturing methods relatively maturely in April.

Yu Yue was more talented and he became proficient earlier than the attending physician Liu Qingshan.

Because Yu Yue's basic suturing skills are already close to expert level.

"Master always said that when a monster appears in the sect, it is not only a blessing for him, but also a blessing for all of us."

“Before it was just a concept, now the concept has become reality.”

"A new suturing method. With this thing, even if I don't stay in the hospital, when I go to other hospitals to look for a job, it will be eye-catching."

"If it's functional rehabilitation surgery..." Yu Yue made a guess and then shook his head.

"I will definitely try my best to give priority to hospitalization. I don't want to think too much about it."

"The next step is to sever the blood vessels into two or three sections. I must be out of isolation within a year." Yu Yue was full of fighting spirit.

Of course he saw how Zhou Yanqing handled the entire hospitalization period with ease, and he envied her and hoped to be like Zhou Yanqing.

Even if it is just a smaller version, if the professional foundation is sufficient, then the superior will be optimistic about it. If the superior is optimistic about it, you will be promoted faster and the pace of professional advancement will also be faster.

My teacher is Tan Zhongyu. I no longer need the support of other "noble people". I just need my own abilities to make it.

……

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, another half a month has passed.

Tuesday, June 6th!

Yu Yue and Tian Chao shared a car from the high-speed rail station to Xiangya Hospital.

After getting off the car, the two rushed directly to the department and then went to the director's office to report.

Yu Yue said: "Master, the patient in Lei City has agreed to be admitted to the hospital on Thursday and have surgery on Sunday, and he has also agreed to broadcast the surgery live."

"But he has one request, which is that we can try to reduce some of the surgery fees."

Tan Zhongyu nodded when he heard this, and then looked at Tian Chao.

"The patient from Xiangzhou didn't come for surgery. He said it could barely work, so he didn't want to do it." Tian Chao said.

"Master, you also know that you can't persuade someone to have an operation."

Tan Zhongyu continued to nod: "Of course not. It's suicidal to persuade patients to undergo surgery. One thing must be clear: the rights of informed consent and informed refusal are equally important."

"The patient's choice is everything. At least that's what the current law stipulates."

"Ning Zhu just called me back and said that the patient in Liu City also agreed to the surgery and also agreed to the live broadcast of the surgery."

"This way, we have three alternative live cases."

"We have already negotiated a case, but I am afraid the patient will change his mind at the last minute."

"Yu Yue, continue to communicate with the patient in Lei City and tell him that we can waive all surgical operation fees, but the cost of consumables must be paid to the medical device company, and we have no way to waive it."

"It's like doing an operation for nothing."

"You must always communicate with the patient and tell him that he can refuse the live broadcast of the surgery at any time."

"But not on the day of surgery, which was Sunday."

"Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to report to the meeting. We should be clear about all the ugly things first. After all, this is a national academic exchange meeting. If something goes wrong in the middle of the meeting, it will show that our Xiangya Hospital is incompetent."

“So we have to make various plans.”

"What did Zhou Yanqing do?" asked Tan Zhongyu.

"Senior Brother Zhou took Senior Brother Ling to do an emergency surgery. A man came in to have a severed finger replanted." Zeng Hui said.

"Zeng Hui, how are you now? I think you can take over some of the medical record review work, right?"

"You're almost a doctor. You have to work hard on these basic skills in private." Tan Zhongyu began to ask about Zeng Hui's situation.

"Master, it should be possible. Let's start from next month. I plan to go out and play for a few days and take a break after I get my academic qualifications and degree certificates on the 20th." Zeng Hui was also quite frank.

"It's good to go and relax. Our department is developing well now. We should learn to seize opportunities. Look at your senior brother Tian Chao. He was in a similar situation to you when he just graduated, but he also became one of the pillars of the group through his own efforts."

"On the contrary, your senior brother Ling Qiyuan was too pressed for time and ultimately could not make sufficient accumulation. He will have to start looking for a job after June." Tan Zhongyu also remembered Zeng Hui, a student.

This year, he accepted Zeng Hui and Du Qiao, one a professional doctor and the other an academic doctor.

The other spot was given to Professor Ding Xiao.

"Okay, Master, I'll remember it. Thank you for your guidance." Zeng Hui touched his little head, looking particularly naive and cute, with a flattering look in his eyes.

"Yu Yue, it's not that Master is criticizing you, nor is it that Master deliberately favors Zhou Yanqing."

"You should know best how I treat you, right?" Tan Zhongyu changed the subject.

Yu Yue lowered his head when he heard this: "Master, I'm sorry, you have been with me longer than Zhou Yanqing? But me?"

Yes, Tan Zhongyu had fallen in love with someone else for a while and took Zhou Yanqing around everywhere, but after Zhou Yanqing went to the trauma center, Tan Zhongyu took him away.

However, the same teacher, the same teaching method.

Zhou Yanqing flew to the sky, and he was still a disciple of Tan Zhongyu, so it cannot be said that Tan Zhongyu simply favored him.

"You are already very good. I just hope you can get your mind right. Don't be jealous, and don't belittle yourself."

"You are all the same to me. You are my students and the most glorious achievement of my past ten years."

"I used to think I had strong personal abilities and I was very happy. Now I feel that I will be happy only if I can train a group of people and make sure each of them is a master."

“Even though I can’t have students all over the world, it’s not bad to have students all over Xiangya.”

"Of course, one thing to note here is that Master cannot help you get favoritism. You have to compete for a place in the hospital yourself."

"Otherwise, I would be the most conspicuous 'school tycoon' in front of Dean Lei Zhong, and your master would not be able to withstand his blade."

"So, all I can get for you is opportunity, nothing else."

"But I can guarantee that if you are better than others, even Dean Lei Zhong cannot favor the doctor of joint surgery and keep him in the hospital and abandon you." Tan Zhongyu's words were a bit domineering.

Because Lei Zhong also accumulated his knowledge step by step. He was not born to be the dean, nor was he born superior to anyone else.

If Lei Zhong really wanted to target him, Tan Zhongyu also had a way to remove him from the position of dean.

If you don’t have some opportunities and noble people, you won’t be able to reach this position.

After everyone left, Tan Zhongyu stood up and looked out the window.

It is very hot in Shashi in June, and the sunshine is very bright, but it is a bit poisonous.

However, through a layer of windows, the central air conditioning in the office was thick and powerful, making Tan Zhongyu feel cool as spring.

I'm in a good mood...

Zhou Yanqing knew that Yu Yue and Tian Chao had gone to talk to the patient, but he didn't know the details of what Tan Zhongyu had said to them, so Zhou Yanqing continued to work hard day and night in his position as chief resident.

Better than life at the trauma center, but not much better.

Emergency rooms always exist, and they are like a time bomb...

Time flies, and nearly half a month has passed.

Tan Zhongyu and others who were supposed to attend the academic conference had all gone, but the department was still preparing for the live broadcast of the surgery.

Professor Du Zhonghua, the legal advisor, was in charge personally and took the lead in negotiating and communicating with patients, their families and the medical department in the department.

This live broadcast of the operation is not just a matter between Tan Zhongyu and Zhou Yanqing, but also a matter for hand surgery, orthopedics, and even Xiangya Hospital. It represents the face of a hospital.

Saturday, June 6th, evening.

Du Zhonghua found Qu Changle and Zhou Yanqing and instructed them, "Qu Changle, although you are an associate professor, you have to help share the emergency surgery tomorrow."

"Xiao Zhou will be the lead surgeon for the live surgery tomorrow, so he needs to get enough rest today. So from now on, I'll have to trouble you to take care of him!~"

Qu Changle obeyed respectfully and kept his bottom line: "Teacher Du, don't worry, even if I encounter something I can't handle, I can get help from other schools! ~"

Zhou Yanqing looked at Qu Changle and his master, and began to realize that he had already become a member of the department, not just Zhou Yanqing, nor did he represent just Zhou Yanqing.

After nodding seriously, Zhou Yanqing ordered some midnight snacks and coffee for Associate Professor Qu Changle, and then fell asleep without any distractions.

In the future, if other people in the department have such an opportunity and want my help, I will definitely not refuse.

This is the connection, this is the atmosphere...
