Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 97: Out of reach (Subscription required)

Before choosing to use this 'unique' active skill, one thing must be made sure.

For Zhou Yanqing at this stage, is theory more important or is direct clinical application more important?

The choices are actually not wide. You can either add some core basic skills of hand surgery, such as suturing techniques, or add some basic theories of hand surgery.

Zhou Yanqing himself was not sure, so he planned to consult Professor Tan Zhongyu tomorrow, or ask Brother Ning Zhu and others...

It is definitely too late today. There is no need to disturb others at this time as it is not an emergency.

In fact, if this special skill had no time limit, there would not be much difference between improving it today and improving it a month later.

Others didn’t know where Zhou Yanqing’s smile came from, they just saw Zhou Yanqing grinning foolishly in front of the operating table.

"Brother Qing, do you have any good news to share?" Lin Hua asked with a smile from the next room.

Zhou Yanqing turned his head and glanced at him, and replied directly: "Brother Hua, there is no good news. The day after tomorrow will be like purgatory."

The last time I shared good news was when Zhou Yanqing passed the assessment of the so-called "professional special channel" of Xiangya Hospital. I treated him to a meal and spent several thousand dollars.

But in the end, something unexpected happened because of a hot search.

As a result, Zhou Yanqing will have to take the assessment again in front of experts and professors from the three hospitals in the middle of this month.

Professor Tan Zhongyu has already arranged the time, which is Saturday, December 12th.

Zhou Yanqing came back from Shanghai on the first Friday of December, December 12. Today was another Friday, so tomorrow Zhou Yanqing would come to the practice room again for a more standardized assessment.

"Can we split the bill?"

"Would you like to go out for dinner together tonight? I'll get some people to give you courage. Brother Qing, you will be fine!" Lin Hua is a native of Shashi and speaks with a very Shashi accent.

"Not now, Brother Hua. We can talk about it later when there is a chance." Zhou Yanqing still refused calmly.

Don’t dare to act like a big shot.

It cost a lot to go to Shanghai. I basically invested half of the 10,000 yuan I earned last month.

I still asked my family for it.

Although I still have more than ten thousand yuan now, I can't spend this money indiscriminately. I must spend it on the right things.

Zhou Yanqing is not yet suitable for dealing with social interactions in Xiangya Hospital.

Lin Hua did not insist. He smiled and continued to practice with his head down.

After Zhou Yanqing trained two more sets of hemostasis techniques, he left the training room. After returning home, he carefully prepared some questions and planned to consult Professor Tan Zhongyu tomorrow.

Naturally, Zhou Yanqing sent a message to Professor Tan Zhongyu in advance today.

"Master, will you come to the department for rounds tomorrow? If it is convenient, I would like to ask you some questions. If it is not convenient, I can come to see you somewhere else."

……

The next day, Saturday.

Tan Zhongyu did not come to the department for rounds, but he sent a location to Zhou Yanqing.

After Zhou Yanqing arrived at the department and finished the ward rounds led by Ning Zhu, he completed his own ward management tasks and then took a taxi to the location sent by Professor Tan Zhongyu.

"Master... I..." After arriving at the place, Zhou Yanqing knocked on the door. After pushing it open, his smiling face froze and his voice stopped abruptly.

There were two middle-aged men inside whom Zhou Yanqing didn’t recognize, but their temperaments were extraordinary.

One was fat with long, half-Mediterranean hair, and the other was tall and thin with dark skin, like a banker.

"Yanqing, you are here. Let me introduce you formally." Tan Zhongyu straightened his body and introduced everyone formally one by one.

"This is Professor Tang from the Second Xiangya Hospital, and this is Professor Chen from the Third Xiangya Hospital."

Tan Zhongyu then said, "Professor Tang, Professor Chen, this is Zhou Yanqing. I hope you two can show some mercy tomorrow."

"Teacher Tang, Teacher Chen." Zhou Yanqing closed the door and continued to walk in, then leaned slightly closer to Tan Zhongyu.

Professor Tang looked amiable and smiled. He nodded to Zhou Yanqing and took out a cigarette box: "Would you like a cigarette?"

"Teacher Tang, I don't smoke." Zhou Yanqing stood still and gently waved his right hand.

Professor Chen rubbed the back of his left forearm with his right palm, leaning half-way, as if smiling: "Professor Tan, you called your students here at this time, don't you want to avoid suspicion at all? Are you going to commit a crime against the wind?"

The school is going to investigate those with connections, and you are now making him a person with connections. Isn't this playing tricks on others?

"Not really, not really, Professor Chen, you are exaggerating."

"Our chance meeting today is just an academic exchange. We all have to go upstairs to host the event or give lectures later."

"Why did you commit a crime against the law?" Tan Zhongyu smiled sweetly.

He added: "I believe that after the two professors have seen Zhou Yanqing tomorrow, they will not want such a gem to be left in the dust, and will give the most accurate comments."

Professor Chen paused in stroking and stood up.

The fact that Tan Zhongyu could say this in front of them proved that this young master was quite talented.

This is no longer an introduction, this is the beginning of showing off.

"Can blood vessels be sutured in an uninhabited area?" asked Professor Chen.

The no-man's land is the area of ​​hand surgery, where the blood vessels are very thin. The reconnection of the severed coccygeal artery simulates the suturing of blood vessels in this area.

Tan Zhongyu did not respond, but looked at Zhou Yanqing.

Zhou Yanqing thought about it carefully and said, "I have done simple sutures before, but I have never dared to do complicated ones."

Professor Tang's hand holding the cigarette butt froze in mid-air, and he didn't exhale the smoke for ten seconds. Professor Chen's high-standard joke directly made him stand there in embarrassment.

Professor Tang straightened up, smoke coming out of his nostrils, and said, "Are you a master's or a doctor?"

Can you get to this point after graduating from a master's degree?
Many PhD graduates cannot reach this stage. Professor Chen is just trying to make things difficult for others.

The standards of special channels for hand surgery have been improved, and only Xiangya Hospital has achieved the highest improvement. The other two hospitals will not improve to such a high level.

"Teacher Tang, I am in my third year of master's degree and will graduate in June." Zhou Yanqing replied politely.

"Have you ever thought about applying for intra-school transfer... We are in the Second Affiliated School..."

When Professor Tang was halfway through his speech, Professor Tan Zhongyu's voice covered Professor Tang's: "Yanqing, go out and wait for me!~"

"I'll be out in a moment."

Zhou Yanqing left in an orderly manner.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yanqing heard the angry voice of Tan Zhongyu inside.

"Shame on you!~"

"Do you still have any shame?"

Professor Tan Zhongyu is honest and trustworthy. He came out after saying two sentences. He even adjusted his tie when he came out!
He restrained his expression and smiled at Zhou Yanqing: "Ignore them, they are all shameless. You can learn this from them in the future."

"The thicker the skin, the better."

The corner of Zhou Yanqing's mouth twitched slightly.

"What do you want from me? Let's go upstairs. I have a suite upstairs..." Tan Zhongyu motioned Zhou Yanqing to follow.

Zhou Yanqing then expressed his thoughts.

Mainly I want to ask whether my current focus is on operational or theoretical improvement.

Unexpectedly, Professor Tan Zhongyu said without hesitation: "Of course it is operation. If the theory is too good, it is easy to just talk about it on paper."

“Theory is the idea, and operation is the expression.”

“It is very painful to have good ideas but not be able to express them.”

“If you can express everything, without so many thoughts, you’ll feel more relaxed.”

"Yanqing, remember this first. The route you are taking is different from others. Just use your strength to defeat Baihui."

"We should do research and theoretical work slowly, through clinical research, grasp our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, and don't think we know everything."

Zhou Yanqing understood it.

Other people’s paths may not be suitable for you.

The three years of master's degree that I missed and the scientific research articles that I missed are difficult to make up for. If I follow the old path of others, it will be very difficult to catch up.

Then we can only overtake others by taking advantage of our own strengths.

"Okay, Master, I understand." Zhou Yanqing nodded.

As they were talking, the two had already arrived at Professor Tan Zhongyu's hotel suite.

"Yanqing, congratulations on passing the doctoral assessment of Huashan Hospital. I won't ask you how you choose. Whatever you choose makes sense. I wish you all the best."

"I have had many students in the past who received multiple offers, and I respect every choice."

"But, what I want to say is that you are the student with the strongest professional talent I have ever seen. I want to fight for it."

"You can go ask that Duan Lin."

"Senior Brother Duan Qilin." Zhou Yanqing added.

"Yes, it's Duan Qilin. I have never taken the initiative to look for him!~" said Tan Zhongyu.

Zhou Yanqing: “…”

With this comparison, how do you want me to answer? If I really answer, does that mean I am better than Duan Qilin?
A little while later, Tan Zhongyu privately designed a route for Zhou Yanqing to overtake others, which was to use his professional skills to directly step into more cutting-edge clinical topics.

For example, the new flap design.

The premise is that Zhou Yanqing's incision and hemostasis techniques must keep up. Otherwise, when Tan Zhongyu gives Zhou Yanqing a chance, it will be difficult to explain to Huang Xianming.

Zhou Yanqing happily said yes, and silently allocated ten experience points to suturing.

I increased it by 2 points immediately, and the rest may be increased tomorrow. On average, it is about points a day.

However, when Zhou Yanqing returned to the hospital and went to the training room, he practiced suturing the water-floating foam board seriously for a day, and his experience in suturing increased by 1 point.

After reading it, Zhou Yanqing's smile was harder to suppress than AK.

"Yanqing, why do you always sew up the water-floating foam board? If you want to practice suturing, shouldn't you go next door?" Liu Wanqing suggested after approaching.

"Brother Liu, this is economical and can be sold in large quantities!" Zhou Yanqing looked up and answered simply.

It would be nice to practice tail-cut suturing, but it would cost a lot of money.

At my own practice speed, seven or eight mice were not enough for me to build, more than a thousand.

I sewed the water-floating foam board myself here, the total price is 6 yuan.

It’s all about the stitches and sutures, the foam board is provided free of charge!
