"Senior Brother Fang, I just woke up. I slept for a long time..."

When Fang Ziye returned to the door of his rented room, it was already past eleven o'clock. He had a cup of iced coffee in his right hand, clearly intending to use it to stay awake while writing his article.

After removing the key and opening the rather old-fashioned security door, I temporarily placed the coffee in the entryway.

I replied with a voice message: "Oh, I just got back from the lab too. Have you chosen a place to stay yet?"

As she walked back, she changed into a pair of slippers and dragged them towards Fang Ziye's study, which he had tidied up a bit.

The apartments in the community are mostly two-bedroom, one-living room units. The two bedrooms are of different sizes and are similar to children's rooms, with a small bed and a small desk.

Fang Ziye used this place as a study before, but his collection of books was not as extensive as Luo Tingzhu's "study". However, Fang Ziye directly climbed the wall through the router to get the network cable, and the door between the study and the living room was never closed.

Studying abroad doesn't offer the same level of accommodation as studying in China, especially for temporary students like Luo Tingzhu who are enrolled for a year. If you're hoping for a private dorm room, you might as well forget about it.

You can either rent a place outside, live with a family, or find a senior student studying abroad.

"I should rent an apartment myself; I'm not used to living with other people."

“But I need to get a bank card and credit card first. I don’t know if there will still be a chance to get some freebies,” Luo Tingzhu replied.

In the United States, most transactions are made using credit cards. And after obtaining a credit card, it is generally not a points system commonly used in China, but a cashback system. It is clear that Luo Tingzhu did some research before going abroad.

The United States is generally a multinational society, especially universities. Even if you share a room nearby, you might hear about roommates with all sorts of strange habits from the older students. Luo Tingzhu was horrified by such things, so she decided to live alone.

Fang Ziye hesitated for a moment before saying, "I asked Associate Professor Hong Zili to inquire about rental information near the school. It seems he eventually found a reasonably priced apartment through a Chinese friend there. You can ask him if you need it."

Fang Ziye sent the screenshots and their contact information, including a phone number and an email address.

Luo Tingzhu looked at the price, which was a couple hundred dollars less than the market price she knew. She was slightly taken aback before replying with a voice message: "Senior Brother Fang, Professor Hong has such connections?"

"Professor Hong has been abroad, so he probably knows quite a few people. Moreover, Professor Hong went abroad at a relatively young age, and the people he knows who are still in the United States are all doing quite well now."

"The safety of the property and the landlord is guaranteed. I also asked my master, and he..." Fang Ziye explained calmly.

Finally, he said, "Of course, if you have better resources, you can decline, and I'll have Professor Hong contact you again."

"My senior sister said I'm very lucky, so there's absolutely no need to refuse..." This time, Luo Tingzhu replied in text.

"Okay, go get your bank card first. I still need to organize some data and process it with Prism." Fang Ziye didn't dwell on it too much. He would process the data for a while and then wash up and go to bed.

"Thank you, senior brother." After a full five minutes, Luo Tingzhu finally returned with a somewhat complicated voice.

After listening, Fang Ziye didn't reply, but instead looked out the window.

Night had fallen, but thousands of miles away in the United States, the sky was clear and blue. The world is indeed vast…

The next day, July 3st.

When Fang Ziye arrived at the department's duty room fully equipped again, he didn't find anything particularly wrong. He just noticed that the beautiful figure who used to come to the office at 7:20 every morning to review discharge medical records in Professor Deng Yong's group was no longer there. Instead, it was Senior Brother Yan Zhiming who took his place.

The others are still around, such as his classmate Li Yuanpei. Like Fang Ziye, Li Yuanpei has faded out of the role of managing patients and is starting to move towards becoming a junior resident who reviews medical records.

Fang Ziye and Li Yuanpei both officially entered the standardized training program in August three years ago. Therefore, after the program ended in April of this year, their 33-month standardized residency training came to a close.

In the last month or two, Fang Ziye and Li Yuanpei still appeared in the department, hoping to have a good ending, but the tasks they were required to undertake eventually changed.

There are too many attending physicians in the group.

The two visiting doctors also need to manage beds, not to mention that, even if the first and second year master's students take over, plus Lan Tianluo, who is currently in 'social residency training', each person will only be allocated two or three beds. In reality, the number of beds managed is very, very small.

Speaking of which, Gu Yi and Wang Yuanqi, the two doctoral students who are about to enter their third year of doctoral studies, are gradually becoming flustered. This is because they have just finished the opening report of their doctoral dissertations and are now gradually fading out of clinical practice and starting to prepare for graduation.

After their published papers and graduation theses are completed, they still need to prepare for finding jobs in the future.

Gu Yi has now completely given up on the "battle" of staying in the hospital and has begun to look to other places. Wang Yuanqi, on the other hand, is trying his best to break through the training room and make some more work in the laboratory, publishing more basic articles to accumulate experience for the battle of staying in the hospital.

Therefore, although Fang Ziye returned to clinical practice and ended his part-time work, Wang Yuanqi's part-time work had already begun in early March.

Currently, the attending resident in the group is Gu Yi, that's the official position. The person responsible for signing off is Yan Zhiming, who has taken over some of Luo Tingzhu's previous duties. Li Yuanpei is helping to review the medical records on the shelf, preparing to take over Yan Zhiming's position.

Fang Ziye, on the other hand, was 'ignored'.

However, this neglect was not due to a lack of respect for Fang Ziye, but rather because Fang Ziye was valued, his position within the group was overlooked. Otherwise, how could Fang Ziye have gone to Enshi Central Hospital for training and gained six months of grassroots work experience in the last month of the thirty-three months that he should have entered the residency training rotation program?
If Fang Ziye's position in the group is irreplaceable, then that would be a problem.

It was still a normal shift handover.

Professor Han Yuanxiao has gradually become accustomed to the position of acting director. However, when he speaks, he often carries the authority of a director in front of many people, but he remains humble when facing Professor Dong Yaohui and Professor Deng Yong.

"Professor Dong, the location for the new year's COA is about to be determined. Last year, our Zhongnan Hospital's participation rate in the COA conference was not very high. Professor Dong, you must submit a paper this year to give our trauma surgery department a voice." Han Yuanxiao clasped his hands slightly.

The Department of Trauma Surgery at Zhongnan Hospital is average in Wuhan and Hubei Province, but it's hard to find a place on the national ranking of orthopedic departments.

Under such circumstances, the number of speaker positions in the trauma surgery sub-forum was already limited. In the field of trauma surgery, only he and Professor Deng Yong gave a lecture last year, and only Professor Deng Yong hosted half of the sub-forum. Then there was Yuan Weihong, who managed to get a speaker position in the young scientific research lecture.

Among the associate professors, Xie Jinyuan, Chen Fang, and Peng Long's submissions were not placed in suitable positions.

The appearance rate in COA (Catalogue of the Department of Health) to some extent reflects the department's standing nationwide. The department's appearance rate was too low last year, so perhaps only by bringing back veterans like Dong Yaohui can we get more voice from Zhongnan Hospital.

Dong Yaohui smiled and said, "I'm getting old. I can only watch these meetings now. I don't have much energy to prepare any special medical records."

Dong Yaohui is an older generation figure, an elderly man who is about to be rehired. It would be inappropriate for him to appear on the speaker's seat again. His proper role would be to sit in the audience as a special guest and chat with a group of other elderly people.

When Dong Yaohui declined, Han Yuanxiao just smiled and said, "Then Teacher Dong, please give some guidance to the young people in our department."

"I think that at last year's COA, many PhDs and even Master's students presented clinical case reports at the conference. There are also many students in our department. You should all try to collect some and submit your papers later."

"The orthopedics department at Zhongnan Hospital is such a large institution; it can't be too low-key nationwide," Han Yuanxiao suggested.

April is the month when the location and organizer of COA will be confirmed, but in fact, you should start preparing things to share before then.

Many people can understand this. Han Yuanxiao, as a newly appointed director, wants to achieve results and wants the trauma surgery department to speak out publicly, which is understandable.

However, both Dong Yaohui and Deng Yong have their own tasks. Deng Yong will certainly not shirk his responsibilities, but an old professor like Dong Yaohui rarely appears in the speaker's seat, because even if he does, it's just showing up to save face, so it's better not to appear at all.

……

The junior doctor doesn't need to worry about the pressure from the big shots.

What is Zhongnan Hospital's standing in Wuhan and Hubei Province? What is its overall influence nationwide? How many times has it spoken in COA? And how does it rank in the overall strength rankings?

Fang Ziye and others only knew that the orthopedics department of Zhongnan Hospital was currently top-tier in Hubei Province, and that was enough.

These high-end things are completely beyond their reach. Today, Fang Ziye did not hand over the patients under his care, nor did he take them back from his junior colleagues. Instead, he simply familiarized himself with the relevant examination results of the patients under his care, preparing to report the cases at any time.

"Today isn't a surgery day, so how about we do a teaching round beforehand?" Professor Deng Yong suggested.

Is the intern here?

"Teacher Deng, we're all here."

One girl and two boys timidly raised their hands.

They were three undergraduate students who were interning with Jie Han, Zhu Yunwen, and Gong Ziming. They raised their hands in the crowd, looking rather silly.

This group of interns arrived at the clinic one after another after the written exams for master's programs. There was also a freshman who was just two months into his clinical internship in the second semester of his senior year...

“Then let’s do a teaching ward round,” Professor Deng Yong said confidently, seeing that most of the group members had arrived.

Yuan Weihong's expression changed slightly, and he turned to explain, "Teacher Deng, I have a teaching class at nine o'clock, so I have to leave first."

Teaching tasks cannot be delayed.

Even if Professor Deng Yong has a class at eight o'clock, you can't participate in the handover or anything like that, you can only teach large lectures to undergraduates. That's what a teaching hospital is like.

Teaching is a very important task.

Deng Yong understood, and with a slight wave of his hand, he let Yuan Weihong leave...

Of course, the teaching ward rounds were relatively slow, taking a full hour and a half to check the dozen or so beds that would normally take only ten minutes.

During this period, Deng Yong mainly asked interns, visiting doctors, and a few others like Dong Wenqiang and Gu Yi to give their opinions, and did not arrest Li Yuanpei and Fang Ziye.

Deng Yong knew that although these two students would check in at the department every day, they were just going through the motions, saying that they were there. Everyone had their own things to do and no one had time to participate in the clinical tasks he was supposed to be involved in.

Naturally, Fang Ziye also felt that he could relax a bit. If he were actually asked questions, he would have to rack his brains to squeeze out all his knowledge reserves, leaving him with nothing, and he might even be seen as a Teletubby by Professor Deng Yong. Why bother?

After handing over his shift, Fang Ziye once again reverted to his previous clinical demeanor.

I inspected all the patients in the department, then reviewed the literature, comparing the patients' diagnoses and postoperative medications one by one, and comparing them with some of the more widely accepted meta-analysis articles or review articles.

What are the differences between the data from these reviews and clinical practice? Would using other drugs be better?
However, it was noticed that Fang Ziye did not leave immediately after the ward rounds today.

Lan Tianluo and Jie Han were not surprised at all, and quickly took advantage of the opportunity to make full use of their senior brother Fang Ziye.

In particular, Jie Han had accumulated over seventy questions over two or three months, of varying lengths, which kept Fang Ziye talking until his mouth was dry before he could barely manage to get through it.

"Thank you, senior brother." Jie Han closed the notebook with satisfaction and thanked Fang Ziye again.

"You've asked so many questions, and you haven't even offered me a drink of water?" Fang Ziye looked at Jie Han, feeling a bit numb.

No wonder Jie Han isn't very popular with his teachers!
"Senior brother, I was thinking that since it's almost lunchtime, I'd like to invite you to lunch?"

Fang Ziye nodded, inwardly complaining, "Eating is one thing, but couldn't you at least prepare a two-yuan bottle of mineral water or get a cup?"

"Tianluo, have you finished writing the documents for your interview and signature? If you have, let's go eat!" Jie Han called out to Lan Tianluo, who was standing nearby.

Lan Tianluo nodded happily and said "okay".

If someone treats you to a meal, and you can chat and have a few beers together, this is the activity that Lan Tianluo's age group likes the most and is the happiest.

While you can learn things in the practice room, you can become less ignorant in the laboratory.

But doing these things is for growth; eating and meeting up is for life. When you can be comfortable, who wants to be an ascetic?

However, Jie Han's shout seemed to wake Li Yuanhong and Dong Cheng up, and they hurriedly nodded.

He smiled and said, "Dr. Fang, and Tianluo Xiaojie? Shall we go eat? Where are some good places to eat nearby? We can go together."

"Dong Cheng and I have been here for a long time, but we haven't had a chance to treat the three of you to a meal yet!" Li Yuanhong said with a smile, his face full of kindness.

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.

Jie Han was at a loss for what to do, so he looked to his senior brother Fang Ziye for help.

Fang Ziye smiled and said, "Brother Changhong, Brother Dongcheng, let's go together. It's perfect for the three of us brothers to learn some things from you senior brothers."

Fang Ziye had something to discuss with Li Yuanhong. Ideally, he should go alone, but since his master had just instructed him yesterday, Fang Ziye felt it would be better to bring his two junior brothers along to avoid saying or doing anything rash in the heat of the moment.

Having two junior brothers around can at least remind me.

Li Yuanhong and Dong Cheng were very happy to agree and quickly stopped what they were doing.

There were five people in the group, which were divided into two groups.

However, Li Yuanhong suggested that they each take a taxi and then meet at the destination. But the two of them didn't know the way, so they asked Lan Tianluo and Jie Han to take Dong Cheng, while he asked Fang Ziye to lead the way.

Fang Ziye did not refuse.

After confirming the location with Lan Tianluo and the others, Li Yuanhong and he got into a ride-hailing car and headed straight for Zhongbei Road.

On the way, Li Yuanhong chatted intermittently.

Fang Ziye also replied, but at that moment Fang Ziye was receiving a constant stream of messages from both Wang Yuanqi's and Qian Qiaofeng's groups.

Wang Yuanqi meant that Professor Deng Yong's experiment had some extra data, and he wanted Fang Ziye and Lan Tianluo to take a look at the article and data processing results. There was also another article with Fang Ziye's name on it, which Professor Deng Yong wanted Fang Ziye to skim through the entire article.

The message from Qian Qiaofeng said that Associate Professor Hong Zili had just received his research grant for last year's article and was about to have dinner, asking Fang Ziye if he was free to join them.

Fang Ziye replied to Li Yuanhong, "Brother Hong, let me reply."

Then she politely declined Qian Qiaofeng's invitation to dinner, and then relayed Yan Zhiming's information to her senior brother about the experimental arrangements and plans that Yan Zhiming could subsequently conduct...

"It's nothing, it's nothing!" Li Yuanhong and Fang Ziye were sitting very close to each other, and Fang Ziye didn't have a privacy screen protector on, so Li Yuanhong could see all of Fang Ziye's conversations with others.

His eyes were as red as a rabbit's.

It's true, we're all human beings, but our fates are completely different. SCI papers that I can't even buy myself are like a few cents or a pen to Fang Ziye. You use mine, I use yours.

Damn, you guys are so generous, can you give me a nomination?

Although he thought this way, Li Yuanhong would never say it out loud. He just felt that it was possible for him to get a name on the list, which would be a plus for his professional title promotion.
