Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 322 Qi Lin Enters the Academy (Subscription Request)

"Our department has achieved fruitful results at this mid-year academic conference on hand surgery."

On Monday, June 6, during the morning handover, Tan Zhongyu began to read a document with great energy.

"At the conference, our department gave six academic reports and served as the plenary host for two branch sessions."

"Two of our PhD students have been successfully selected to give academic presentations in the Youth Academic Presentation Hall."

"At the same time, the organizer invited our department to perform a live surgery for teaching purposes. The live surgery went smoothly without any problems."

"Professor Teng Qinghe, the chairman of the Hand Surgery Branch, highly praised the teaching surgeries performed by our department, and at the conference, our department proposed the concept of functional rehabilitation in hand surgery for the first time."

"This concept is independent of functional reconstruction, but also superior to it. At the conference, it was recognized by many colleagues, including but not limited to experts from Huashan Hospital and Jishuitan Hospital, who privately discussed with me the cutting-edge progress of this surgical concept..."

"All of the above are the result of the joint efforts of all the brothers and sisters, teachers and classmates in our department. Let us applaud ourselves for our efforts." After Tan Zhongyu finished speaking, he led the team to applaud and affirm themselves.

Having achieved something, you naturally have to enjoy it.

Moreover, the research and development of this surgical procedure has indeed brought real benefits to patients and has been recognized by patients.

Although he was bragging about himself in the department, others still gave him face.

There is no other reason, because before, although other colleagues also gave face to Xiangya Hospital, it was just face.

This time, I earned the face myself.

In addition to your superb surgical skills that no one can find fault with, when some of the concepts you put forward are recognized by others, they will only think you are awesome.

You can do functional rehabilitation when some teaching hospitals are not yet performing the same functional reconstruction surgery.

Other people's goals are from 0.5-0.7, but your goal is directly increased from 0.5 to 1.1, exceeding 1, the currently recognized maximum value. That's awesome.

The applause started and then died down.

Tan Zhongyu continued: "Based on this academic conference, our department's first attempt must make one thing clearer."

"To be original, to conduct research and development, and to make breakthroughs is the hard truth to enhance the comprehensive influence of our discipline and truly improve the comprehensive level of our discipline."

"The live broadcast of functional reconstruction surgery is our follow-up and has been recognized by our peers. Proposing the concept of functional rehabilitation surgery is a leadership and a direction for us to recognize our peers in the future!~"

“It’s a different concept.”

"Of course, scientific research cannot be divorced from reality, and cannot be like rootless duckweed..."

"We must base ourselves on the present, proceed from reality, take one step at a time, and work hard and down-to-earth."

"Here, let me analyze a few points in more detail."

"First of all, it is a matter of consolidating basic skills and basic concepts. All clinical procedures are derived from basic skills and basic concepts."

"Especially in hand surgery, we emphasize the importance of heavy sword without edge. There are no fancy operation techniques, only solid and steady suturing, step by step, to make every point perfect."

"The same is true for surgery. We need to master the most basic principles, and then work on them more solidly and more maturely to put our ideas into practice. This is our goal."

"This time we went to attend an academic conference held by someone else, a mid-year academic conference in Anshi, Shaanxi Province."

"Next time, our hospital will join hands with other hospitals in our province to actively invite other hospitals to attend the conference and visit our hospital. We will take the initiative to teach them functional rehabilitation techniques."

"This is the current hot operating direction..." Tan Zhongyu said a long string of words in a resounding voice.

After Tan Zhongyu finished speaking, Professor Du Zhonghua, who usually doesn't talk much, also spoke up: "In fact, what Director Tan said is very straightforward."

“We go to the conference and we walk out with something.”

"We host conferences because people come here with the desire to learn."

“This is a good thing, and it’s the path we’ve taken before.”

"Don't just focus on the appearance of Tan Zhongyu and Zhou Yanqing this time. You should know that last year and the year before last, Tan Zhongyu and Zhou Yanqing traveled to various places to study."

"Why should we learn? Because others are better than us."

“Why should others come to us to learn?”

"We need to analyze this issue clearly." Du Zhonghua said.

When Du Zhonghua said this, he saw Tan Zhongyu looking at him honestly, so he said, "If there is nothing else, let's go first and get busy with the things in the group."

“This is fundamental.”

Du Zhonghua was the first to stand up, and Tan Zhongyu followed.

However, the two did not lead the team to make rounds, but Tan Zhongyu was taken into the director's office by Du Zhonghua.

Professor Ding Xiao led his team to make rounds, while he himself still had to go to the outpatient clinic.

There was still a group of people left in the doctor's office looking at each other.

Ning Zhu asked, "Brother Ming, should we go to check on the ward first or wait for the teacher?"

"Wait a moment, Director Tan is in a good mood today, and he will probably lead the ward rounds." Huang Xianming didn't want to disturb Tan Zhongyu's interest.

Liu Qingshan handed over the betel nut box at the right time, took one for himself and gave one to Ning Zhu.

"Duan Qilin, do you want to eat?" Liu Qingshan shook his head in front of Duan Qilin.

Duan Qilin looked very honest at this moment!
Today marks the beginning of a new week after he completed his resignation procedures. He went home to pack his luggage and then rushed here from Heng City. Today is the day he joins the department as an apprentice.

He hesitated for a moment, took one and put it in his mouth. He remained silent at first, then quietly retreated to the back of the crowd and began to look at his superiors and fellow disciples.

As he had just arrived, he did not dare to act presumptuously and just paid more attention to Zhou Yanqing.

At this moment, Tian Chao's eyes were sweeping back and forth on Duan Qilin's body, with a sense of urgency and pressure.

Duan Qilin was one year older than him. Although he later went to work in a municipal hospital, his talent was still there and he must have made progress.

Tian Chao didn't know whether Duan Qilin's coming to the department would squeeze out his current "status".

"Yanqing, you and Qi Lin are very familiar with each other, right?" Ning Zhu asked casually while chewing betel nut.

Zhou Yanqing smiled and nodded when he heard this: "Brother Qi Lin and I met before when we were at the First Affiliated High School of Hengda University."

"That's great. Qi Lin should join your class as soon as he arrives." Ning Zhu didn't want to leave this new 'junior brother' unattended, and felt that the team was not enthusiastic about him.

"Thank you, Brother Zhu." Duan Qilin often heard Ning Zhu while chatting with Zhou Yanqing, so he also knew Ning Zhu.

……

After Tan Zhongyu arrived at the office, he first glanced at Duan Qilin with aloofness, then waved his hand and said, "Let's start the ward rounds. Duan Qilin, you stay with me..."

Tan Zhongyu led the team into the ward in charge of the group, and the first thing he said was: "Duan Qilin, come up and give this patient a detailed physical examination and X-ray."

This "welcome ceremony" for entering the department was similar to the one Zhou Yanqing had just entered the department, except that Duan Qilin was his student, so the method was relatively violent. Duan Qilin was not very nervous. He put on his examination gloves and stood at the right hand side of the patient...

"Duan Qilin, tell me about the current research progress of this tendon transfer surgery." When he reached the fifth bed during the ward rounds, Tan Zhongyu started again.

"Duan Qilin..."

……

After finishing the ward rounds, the time was approaching half past nine. This was one of the few "long rounds" in hand surgery that lasted for an hour and fifteen minutes!
After the ward rounds, Duan Qilin felt like he was about to collapse.

Trembling with fear, he followed Zhou Yanqing to the chief resident's office and wiped the sweat off his forehead with two pieces of paper: "Teacher, why are you so fierce? I just got here and he beat me up!~"

Zhou Yanqing heard this and said nonchalantly: "Brother Qi Lin, you used to be from Sun Yat-sen University, and you came to our hospital to get a doctorate through the professional channel, and then went to Huashan Hospital. Why do you think that is?"

Duan Qilin wouldn't have forgotten about this after working for more than three years, right?
Tan Zhongyu is a professor at Xiangya Hospital, the chief director of the Department of Hand Surgery, and the chairman of the Hunan Hand Surgery Branch. He is no small fry.

Even if he goes to a top hospital like Huashan Hospital, he will at least be a professor in charge of a group, and Huashan Hospital will also assign him a team to lead him.

"Teacher, are you so vindictive?" Duan Qilin said with a grin.

As luck would have it, at this moment Tan Zhongyu had just opened the door of the resident office, heard these words, and then simply closed the door again.

Zhou Yanqing was also a little at a loss. Duan Qilin was stunned at the time, but he was only stunned for three seconds and then hurriedly chased after him.

When Zhou Yanqing saw Duan Qilin again, it was almost lunch time two hours later.

Duan Qilin was dejected and his face was a little pale.

Zhou Yanqing didn't receive a call for emergency consultation surgery in the morning for the first time in a long time, so he was in the resident office thinking about the surgery to be performed tomorrow.

One functional rehabilitation, one nerve transposition and one skin flap transplant.

This skin flap transplant was performed by Tan Zhongyu specifically for Yu Yue to practice, and he basically performs one or two cases a month.

Before this, Tan Zhongyu had specially found some simple cases for Zhou Yanqing, and he did not just favor Zhou Yanqing alone.

Before Zhou Yanqing could even open his mouth, Duan Qilin said, "Crazy, crazy..."

"Why are there so many people in our group? Brother Ning Zhu, Yu Yue, and Tian Chao."

"And Zeng Hui, who is in the same class as me, is currently..." Duan Qilin's voice sounded a little fearful.

Zhou Yanqing then realized that Duan Qilin was dragged to the training room by Tan Zhongyu for training, and Duan Qilin was hit by his fellow brothers in the group.

Zhou Yanqing thought carefully after hearing this: "Brother Qi Lin, you should be similar to Tian Chao, right?"

"Tian Chao is one year older than you?"

Duan Qilin's voice became rough: "I am two years older than him!~"

From Zhou Yanqing's perspective, Duan Qilin's talent is definitely much better than Tian Chao's, and even better than Senior Brother Yu Yue's.

Therefore, Duan Qilin has made some progress in his three years at Hengda Affiliated School, but he cannot catch up with Zhou Yanqing who has been "coaching" Tian Chao for two years, so that Tian Chao has now caught up with Duan Qilin who has made three years of progress.

But Duan Qilin himself seemed unable to accept this result.

Zhou Yanqing put his hands behind his chest and said, "Brother Qi Lin, what do you want to say?"

Duan Qilin raised his eyebrows, but soon became timid again, because the person standing in front of him was a year younger than him.

When Zhou Yanqing was in his third year of master's degree, Duan Qilin had passed the doctoral examinations of both Huashan Hospital and Xiangya Hospital, and had both been confirmed to pursue a doctorate, but he had to return to Hengda First Affiliated Hospital to work.

Now Zhou Yanqing's second year of doctoral study is almost over, and three years have passed since he graduated with a master's degree.

"Alas, the world is unpredictable, things and people no longer exist." Duan Qilin said with deep emotion.

Duan Qilin realized that he might fall behind his peers after he started working, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big that people who were two years younger than him could catch up with him.

Zhou Yanqing could understand Duan Qilin, so he said, "It's okay, Brother Qilin, you can catch up soon."

"What level of basic suturing skills have you reached now?"

"We can barely suture blood vessels in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hengda University, but Tian Chao's vascular sutures have an immediate vascular patency rate of 86 percent." Duan Qilin looked cautious.

The fact that he can routinely suture blood vessels in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hengda University proves that the immediate patency rate can reach over 90%. In fact, his basic skills in suturing are still better than Tian Chao's.

But Duan Qilin still couldn't accept this result. He was still quite arrogant in his heart.

"That's fine too?"

"Better than Senior Brother Ling Qiyuan." Zhou Yanqing said.

Ling Qiyuan is in the same class as Duan Qilin, one year older than Zhou Yanqing.

But Duan Qilin didn't seem to feel any pleasure; "Yanqing, call me later, I want to be quiet, I'll go lie down in the lounge for a while."

"Master said that this summer, Tian Chao should go to the training room by himself first, and let me follow you for a while to see the results."

"If I make average progress, I'll have to go play in the gym."

Duan Qilin closed the door, but after about ten seconds, he opened it again: "I have already ordered lunch, Yanqing."

……

Zhou Yanqing smiled when he heard this.

I was also filled with emotions.

Once upon a time, when Zhou Yanqing heard that Duan Qilin was going back to Hengda Affiliated High School to find a job, he was very panicked and was forced to take the doctoral exam.

Because, at that time, I was planning to compete with Duan Qilin, and it would not be worth it if I lost the competition.

Only three years have passed now, and the gap between Duan Qilin and himself is quite large.

Even now, Duan Qilin feels quite pressured when facing a junior like Tian Chao, who is two years younger than him.

However, Zhou Yanqing believed that Duan Qilin should be able to catch up soon.

Zhou Yanqing was too lazy to think about it. Duan Qilin still had to adjust his mentality on his own.

All coincidences are fate.

Being young is good, being young and promising is even better.

I wonder what Duan Qilin’s expression would be when he slowly realizes that what is being done in the department is more or less related to him.

However, Zhou Yanqing was not too amused by Duan Qilin's "defense breach". Now, he only wanted to develop a new type of surgical procedure, functional rehabilitation, as soon as possible, and use the data in clinical practice to publish a paper.

Using papers and data as theories, we can then form standardized procedures...
