Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 33: Too good to be true! (Please save and read)

In the afternoon, 4:43.

Guo Congyu changed into a set of looser wide-leg shorts, and as he walked to the training room with Zhou Yanqing, he looked at the 'King of Pressure' who gave him the nickname of 'Dang Ge' with fear, and said in a desperate tone: "Brother Qing, with your grades and level, you were rejected for the retest at Jishuitan?"

Zhou Yanqing nodded: "Well, when I went for the retest, my suture skills were not good enough to suture the tendon."

"But even if we can suture the tendon, it's useless!"

"If you want to pursue a doctorate through a purely professional special channel, the standards are too high. Top universities like Jishuitan need experts who are exceptionally good at both scientific research and clinical practice."

“The weight of scientific research will be even higher.”

Guo Congyu was a little puzzled: "That's not right. The hand surgery department of Huashan Hospital is on par with Jishuitan Hospital. Even Master Duan can rush through the special professional passage of Huashan Hospital. Brother Qing, you can't rush through Jishuitan now?"

Zhou Yanqing speculated and analyzed: "It is because the levels of the two are comparable that the assessment requirements for Jishuitan are higher."

"After all, if you want to widen the gap or reach new heights, scientific research is the shortcut."

"If I remember correctly, it was Mr. Chen who established Huashan Hospital's leading position in hand surgery!"

The world's first case of severed finger replantation was carried out in collaboration between Academician Chen and Academician Zhang.

Later, Academician Chen was transferred to Huashan Hospital, where he made the hand surgery department of Huashan Hospital the best in the country.

Even the hand surgery department of Jishuitan Hospital was built and developed based on Mr. Chen’s research.

A good doctor can bring hope to many patients who come to see him.

A good scientific research giant can bring good news to a series of patients.

"Oh..." Guo Congyu sighed.

He understood the principles, but it was these principles that forced an ordinary master's degree holder like him to run around in disarray with no clue.

"Brother Qing, what are your plans for the future?"

Zhou Yanqing smiled and said, "What else can we do? We can walk and look around, and then we can go if we find a feasible way..."

It would be best if he could study for a Ph.D., but if he couldn't, he could stay in the hospital, or at worst he could return to his hometown in the county. This was Zhou Yanqing's plan from the beginning.

If you fail in your first attempt to get a doctorate, you can always try again. Man proposes, God disposes...

"Senior brothers, don't do this. If you do this, I will be very panicked." Junior brother Tang Wenquan could no longer maintain his calmness. His whole face wrinkled like a bitter gourd and his tone was panicked.

He will eventually face the same pressure as his two senior brothers, and it will be at this time next year.

Even someone as talented as Zhou Yanqing felt that his future was uncertain, and Tang Wenquan couldn't help feeling confused.

Zhou Yanqing and Guo Congyu each looked at Tang Wenquan, then patted his shoulders on both sides to encourage him, and quickened their pace.

……

Monday, September 23rd.

8:35 AM.

After Zhou Yanqing pushed open the door of the outpatient clinic, Gong Yi was talking to a patient, so Zhou Yanqing gently closed the door again.

The patient turned around to look at the person who came, and after noticing that he was wearing a white coat, he looked at Gong Yi.

Gong Yi handed the printed electronic medical record to the patient and said, "You have a tendon ganglion cyst. The cyst is not big at the moment. There is only a popping sound when flexing and extending, but no symptoms. Take medicine and observe for a period of time. If the subsequent compression affects your life or the pain is unbearable, it depends on the situation whether you need a small operation..."

"It would be best if the cyst could go away on its own with medication." "Okay, thank you, doctor." The patient was a young man in his thirties, who nodded while holding up the small medical record.

Zhou Yanqing approached and explained: "There is a QR code in the upper left corner of the medical record. You can pay directly after scanning it. If you need to apply for unified planning, search for our hospital on Alipay, and the medical fee will also be listed on it."

“Alipay will do, right?” Upon hearing this, the young man swiped the screen of his phone to look for the app.

"Yes, just click on the search page, search for our hospital, and then click on outpatient payment... Whether medical insurance can be used for settlement is reviewed by the medical insurance department..." Zhou Yanqing stood by and gave a few instructions.

After the young man left, Zhou Yanqing stood up and explained to the teacher: "Master, Director Dong delayed the handover a little bit today. So I came a little late."

Monday is outpatient day. Usually, Zhou Yanqing would come directly after handing over his shift and making rounds. He would not change the medical instructions or dressings for the patients, but leave it to his junior fellow student Fan Ziwei to handle.

"Director Dong mentioned the recruitment during the handover, right?" Gong Yi put his hands on his chest, took a wide step, and leaned against the yellow lacquered wooden chair, as if he had expected it.

Zhou Yanqing immediately understood and narrowed his eyes: "Thank you, Master, for your support..."

At the handover ceremony, Director Dong specifically mentioned the third batch of recruitment that will be carried out in October. Combined with what Master Duan Qilin talked about privately with him last week, Zhou Yanqing knew that this must have been the result of the efforts of his teacher Gong Yi.

If he is not very good, then there is nothing wrong with Dong Congyue appointing Duan Qilin, who graduated from a prestigious university.

But if Zhou Yanqing and Duan Qilin were to compete with each other, it would be impossible for Dong Congyue to have the final say.

"The master leads you to the door, but the practice depends on yourself. The master's door can only be regarded as a platform at most. The ability is your own."

"Master can't help you if you go outside, but in this academy, it is within our ability to fight for a fair chance for you."

"You are not as sensible as your senior brothers. They know not to let your master quarrel with others."

"Just you, you only know how to cause trouble for the master..." Gong Yi said in the most joking tone, expressing his inner joy.

Seeing Zhou Yanqing blink twice, Gong Yi stopped joking: "I asked you to submit your resume to the county hospital as a backup before. That was the plan at that time."

"Now you can compete for our hospital's guaranteed salary."

“Don’t let others’ factors make you feel compassionate and retreat.”

"Looking for a job is a free activity. It depends on one's ability. It's a competition of ability, not a competition of misery!" Gong Yi gave instructions.

Zhou Yanqing nodded, his emotions very stable: "Master, if you are talented, you should help the world. If you are poor, you should just take care of yourself. What qualifications do I have to sympathize with others?"

"And Master, even if my professional ability can reach the level of Senior Brother Duan Qilin, I still can't compare to him in terms of the number of articles."

"It's still a bit difficult to get an offer from our school!"

Zhou Yanqing is now also learning to use words like "beyond the syllabus" and "violations".

Gong Yi frowned, nodded slightly, waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it for now, let's see the outpatients first."

Zhou Yanqing immediately went out to lead the next patient into the clinic. After bringing the patient in, she began to ask questions and write the electronic medical record: "Auntie, where do you feel uncomfortable? How long have you been feeling uncomfortable?"

Gong Yi sat opposite Zhou Yanqing, squinting his eyes and looking at the serious Zhou Yanqing, his mind becoming a little complicated.

Gong Yi originally thought that he could easily pave the way for Zhou Yanqing's future, and it would be best for him to pursue a doctorate.

But now that Zhou Yanqing has really reached this point, Gong Yi is a little reluctant to send this child out to pursue his career.

Everyone loves excellent people...
