Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 72 Private Life! (Subscription Request)
Zhou Yanqing nodded when he heard this.

Hand surgery can be said to have originated from the replantation of severed fingers, and the world's first limb replantation was performed at the Sixth Hospital of Shanghai by Academician Chen from China.

Although Dr. Chen has passed away, as long as hand surgery exists, Dr. Chen will be an unavoidable milestone and deserves to be admired and thanked by all hand surgeons and patients with amputated limbs.

Simply calling him a master of the nation is not enough to describe Mr. Chen’s contribution. If we must describe him, he is “the father of limb replantation in the world.”

"Of course, I'm not telling you a little bit about Mr. Chen's story just to encourage you to be ambitious and learn from him. It's definitely difficult for us to learn such innovations."

"However, we must have an innovative spirit and provide patients with better treatment technologies. Apart from learning, the only thing we can do is to innovate," Professor Tan Zhongyu said in a resounding voice.

Yu Yue had already opened his own teacup and Professor Tan Zhongyu's teacup, and took a disposable water cup for Zhou Yanqing and started putting tea leaves in it.

Occasionally he glanced at Zhou Yanqing and added with a smile, "Master, it's hard to say what Yanqing's potential is in other areas, but if we let him do animal experiments, he will definitely be a good hand."

"Our animal experiments in hand surgery are also very similar to clinical operations."

Tan Zhongyu nodded: "Yes, scientific research can be roughly divided into two categories, one is basic scientific research, and the other is clinical scientific research."

“Basic scientific research can be divided into two parts: cell-based experiments and animal experiments.”

"In our hand surgery, the cell-based experiments are very difficult and basically involve topics related to promoting nerve and blood vessel healing. It is difficult to improve, so relatively speaking, there are more topics related to animal experiments."

"You can gradually understand it when the time comes..."

"Our group's basic experiments are still following the trend, focusing on research on bone tumors and bone inflammatory cells."

"There's nothing we can do about it. As a student, you always have to think about graduation requirements, and it's necessary to get research funding to publish some papers."

"But for us hand surgeons, the most important thing is to improve our skills first and then do some animal experiments, such as replantation of multiple limbs and long-distance vascular bridging..."

"Yanqing, your current scientific research accumulation is considered a weak link, right?" Tan Zhongyu began to analyze Zhou Yanqing himself.

"Yes, Master, I have published too few articles, only one monograph. So, if I want to study for a doctorate, I can only go through a special channel." Zhou Yanqing did not say that the teacher had too little research funding.

As soon as I got a new teacher, I started talking about the shortcomings of my previous teacher, which were character issues.

Even the truth cannot be told.

"That won't work. If you only have one paper and the impact factor is not high, you will have no competitiveness at all." Tan Zhongyu shook his head decisively.

A monograph is the type of article with the highest value.

In addition to classification, SCI also has the more hardcore concept of impact factor.

The higher the impact factor, the better.

Of course, to discuss the impact factor, we must first be in the first zone. Otherwise, the impact factor is also a relatively superficial indicator...

After Professor Tan Zhongyu talked to Zhou Yanqing about his tasks during his doctoral studies, he personally led the team to make rounds without waiting for Liu Qingshan and Ning Zhu to arrive.

After taking the junior doctors for a round of inspection, Professor Tan Zhongyu left.

When leaving the department, I happened to meet Ning Zhu who was leading the ward rounds. Ning Zhu looked at the time on his watch nervously.

Then, he quickly followed and explained to Professor Tan Zhongyu.

Zhou Yanqing's ward management task was not heavy, and there were only one or two medical orders that needed to be revised.

Only two medical records need to be added to the shelf, and it can be completed in less than twenty minutes.

The rest of the time, when there are no new patients, I can only read books and literature...

About 9:10.

Ning Zhu entered the office, approached Zhou Yanqing and asked, "When did Professor Tan come to the department?"

"It was around 7:50 in the morning. When Master saw a few people arriving, he led them to check on the ward. Even Lin Hua hadn't arrived yet, but Master said it didn't matter."

"I felt it was too late to send a message at that time, so I didn't report it to you, Brother Zhu."

"We just finished our ward check and you came, Brother Zhu." Zhou Yanqing explained quickly.

Ning Zhu leaned against the oval red lacquer desk and said, "Professor Tan really values ​​you. He came to the department today and brought you to the small bedroom, right?"

Zhou Yanqing: “…”

What kind of tiger and wolf words are these?

"Brother Zhu, if there are any small debridements and sutures today, could you send a few to the department?" Zhou Yanqing was bored at the moment, so he took the initiative to ask.

If you want to activate the Practice Makes Perfect medal by reading books, it is estimated that it will take 15,000 quarters of an hour, which is 2,500 hours.

It will take at least seven or eight months to see any progress.

It is too difficult to improve theory.

"Sure, I'll send you a few depending on the situation." Ning Zhu said he didn't care.

Ning Zhu no longer cares about such minor operations. It is best to send small wounds directly to the department for Zhou Yanqing to treat.

"Thank you, Brother Zhu." Zhou Yanqing suddenly remembered, "I ordered the braised rice noodle today. It won't be clumping now, right?"

As he spoke, Zhou Yanqing looked at his phone.

Generally, the boss of the noodle delivery company will send a message after delivery to avoid changing the taste, firstly to indicate that the food has been delivered, and secondly to remind people to pay. "No, no, Brother Zhu, the boss is still downstairs and will come up in a while."

“It’s a bit slow today.”

Ning Zhu's chin spun left and right, his eyes rolled around a few times, and then he asked cautiously, "Yanqing, are you willing to come with me to do some private work?"

"That is, to perform blood vessel suture on a group of mice for animal testing."

Zhou Yanqing's eyes flashed when he heard this: "Brother Zhu, what do you mean by private work?"

When Zhou Yanqing heard that it was an animal experiment, he naturally became interested, as he was almost running out of scientific research results.

In the morning, Tan Zhongyu told Zhou Yanqing that if Zhou Yanqing could not make up for his scientific research accumulation, it would be impossible for Tan Zhongyu to keep Zhou Yanqing.

You need a certain number of articles, as well as a few relatively high-scoring articles, for example, you must have at least one article with a score of 8, 9, or 10.

"Private work means that a biological company has accepted an animal experiment project from an unknown research group, but their own company cannot find an expert in the operation, so they will entrust us to do the work."

"It's paid, one hour, this amount." Ning Zhu pointed with a finger.

"One hundred?" Zhou Yanqing's eyes lit up.

One hundred yuan an hour is definitely a relatively high salary in China.

Ning Zhu said, "You are sending the informer away. One hundred an hour. I might as well take a good rest. If he doesn't have a thousand, he can find someone else to do it himself."

"There are only a few people in the whole Hunan Province who can do this kind of work and have spare time. Who would casually lower the wages? Don't you think so?"

"Once you get past the door of hand surgery, you won't find this kind of technology in other specialties."

Zhou Yanqing looked at Ning Zhu who was driving up the "sewing price" and felt like he was looking at a brothel owner.

But when I think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong.

This is business, it takes two to three. Just don't look for me.

"Brother Zhu, can I do it?" Zhou Yanqing has no real understanding of the pricing of his suture skills.

"It will definitely work!"

"I've already asked you to go, and you're still worried that you won't be able to take the call."

"Let me tell you, even Brother Liu Qingshan can't take this job. Associate professors definitely don't want to work for others just for money."

Ning Zhu pointed at himself and Zhou Yanqing and said, "At our age, it's not shameful to sell our skills and physical strength for a little money, right?"

"That's definitely not shameful!" Zhou Yanqing nodded.

I don't know if suturing the mouse will be counted as the number of operations, if it is counted.

While earning money, you can also get free practice supplies and improve your skills, killing three birds with one stone.

"Right, let's put it this way then."

"When you are free, I will let you contact the other party."

"But be careful of one thing. Don't contact the other party and don't bypass me to take private work. You don't know the ins and outs of this. If you get cheated, Professor Tan will give me trouble."

Ning Zhu said, reminding seriously: "If something goes wrong, it will be difficult for Professor Tan to clean up the mess. I will definitely not lie to you. You can also ask Associate Professor Huang Xianming or other superiors."

"I didn't treat you as a coolie. I took the agency fee myself."

Zhou Yanqing said: "Brother Zhu, how could I possibly think that? You are worrying too much."

Zhou Yanqing never thought about it in this way. Why would Ning Zhu want to trick himself?
"Okay then, it's settled."

"You stay on duty first. If there is any need for debridement and suture, I will bring it to you later..."

……

Ning Zhu was a man of his word. Zhou Yanqing had only been reading the literature for less than forty minutes when an emergency patient walked into the hand surgery department.

At the nurses' station, he shouted, "Doctor, nurse, the doctor from the emergency department asked me to come to the department for stitching, and said there is a doctor here who can stitch me up."

The nurse nodded when she heard this: "Yes, yes, you were called to the department by Doctor Ning, right?"

"Please wait a moment. I'll go call the doctor on duty. Please sit down first!" The nurses at Xiangya Hospital are quite professional.

About ten minutes later, Zhou Yanqing had just finished signing the interview and was leading the patient to the door of the operating room. Unexpectedly, Tian Chao arrived at the door of the operating room and said with a forced smile, "Brother Zhou, I'm here to help you."

"By the way, let me watch your operation."

After that, Tian Chao explained to the patient: "I am Brother Zhou's junior, so I came in to take a look and learn. I am also a graduate student of this hospital."

Tian Chao's explanation actually made the patient feel much more comfortable.

Since it was just a wound on his hand, the patient lay down and nodded: "Okay, then you can take a look."

Seeing that the patient had agreed, Zhou Yanqing had no reason to refuse. After putting on gloves, he began to skillfully unwrap the temporary gauze bandage for the patient and rinsed it...
