top student at medical school

Chapter 141 Unfamiliar Upon Arrival (Please Subscribe)
"Dr. Fang, have you been back this year?"

On the high-speed train, Fang Ziye and Li Yuanhong were seated next to each other. Fang Ziye was near the aisle, while Li Yuanhong was by the window. Li Yuanhong asked Fang Ziye a question.

Li Yuanhong's words drew many people to turn their heads and look.

Although the value of a PhD has declined slightly these days, people still can't help but glance at someone who has a PhD, either to satisfy their curiosity or to see if the PhD is the kind of eccentric person they've heard about.

Fang Ziye didn't look in any other direction. He was already used to being addressed as Li Yuanhong and Dong Cheng. They not only called him Fang Ziye, but also addressed Li Yuanpei as Dr. Li.

"Brother Hong, I went home for three days during the Spring Festival this year, which should be the same as this year. Brother Hong, which neighborhood in Enshi do you live in?" Fang Ziye asked casually, while unscrewing the cap of the Oriental Leaf Oolong Tea bottle and taking a sip.

“I live quite far away, not near the hospital, and my commute to and from get off work takes a long time, but my child needs to go to school, so I have to do it myself.”

"I'll go home after I take you to the hospital today," Li Yuanhong explained.

"Oh, it's nothing, Brother Hong. You go ahead and do what you need to do," Fang Ziye quickly replied.

"By the way, Brother Hong, in our department..." Fang Ziye chatted casually, trying to keep the atmosphere from becoming too awkward.

After asking around, Fang Ziye learned that Li Yuanhong now has both a son and a daughter, forming the Chinese character for "good," which is indeed a blessing.

"Dr. Fang probably doesn't have a girlfriend yet, right? Are you considering letting one of our fellow villagers have her, or are you looking for one outside?" Li Yuanhong asked casually.

After Professor Deng Yong's prompting, Fang Ziye carefully considered for three seconds: "Brother Hong, I should be considered to have a girlfriend now."

Li Yuanhong paused for a moment, but did not move; his expression and eyes remained very subtle.

"Is that Xiao Luo? Congratulations! You're both beautiful and talented. When did you two start dating? You didn't even invite anyone over or give out wedding candy? That's not very kind of you." Li Yuanhong's tone and demeanor, as if he were very close to Fang Ziye and implying that Fang Ziye wasn't being a good brother, immediately dispelled the previous awkwardness.

"I didn't have time. I'll definitely send you wedding candy when I have time, Brother Hong. Right now, we're not all together, so it's not appropriate to invite everyone to a meal," Fang Ziye explained casually.

That's true, and it's also a way to prevent others from finding a job for me. I'm here just to learn, so please don't try to set me up on blind dates.

Fang Ziye would never have considered this direction before, but after Master Deng Yong talked to him, Fang Ziye naturally started thinking about how to deal with all these issues.

Teachers can only give you some direction; you have to rely on yourself to find the specific solutions to your problems.

"That's great, Dr. Fang, don't forget me!" Li Yuanhong said, smiling broadly again.

Li Yuanhong then inquired about Fang Ziye's hometown, mentioning that he knew someone from Ba County, but asked Fang Ziye if he had heard of that town...

Time flew by, and it was around midnight.

From Seoul to Eunseol, whether it's a traditional bullet train or a high-speed train starting with the letter G, it takes more than four hours. There are just too many tunnels and steep mountains, so the speed can't be increased.

Fang Ziye didn't have much luggage, just a suitcase and a backpack.

Li Yuanhong had even less luggage, just a backpack, and he had to return to Wuhan on Sunday.

Both were locals, but they spoke with a heavy accent, blurring the difference between "s" and "sh" in their pronunciation. This caused many unlicensed taxi drivers to turn away, knowing that these two were difficult to deal with, so they simply waited for the next one.

When they reached the roadside, Li Yuanhong even helped Fang Ziye carry the suitcase to the trunk.

Immediately afterwards, the two set off for Enshi Central Hospital.

Enshi Central Hospital is located on Wuyang Avenue in Enshi, facing the forest park.

Fang Ziye's rented apartment is in a residential complex called Hexinyuan, located diagonally across the street. (Note: All addresses in this book, including Enshi, are pseudonyms and do not correspond to real-world locations. Readers are advised to be aware of this.)
After getting off the bus, Li Yuanhong asked, "Dr. Fang, have you found a place to live? If not, I can help you contact the hospital's staff dormitory."

"Everything is ready, it's right across the street."

"Brother Hong, I'll take the luggage upstairs. I'll go familiarize myself with the place first; I only looked up the relevant information online beforehand. You can go back first if you want," Fang Ziye said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll call the doctor on duty. He's on the sixteenth floor of the Western Medicine Department, in the Trauma Surgery Center." Li Yuanhong was a little embarrassed.

Treatment centers are usually large teaching hospitals that use such flashy names. Enshi Central Hospital is indeed a large teaching hospital, but the trauma department of Zhongnan Hospital is still called Trauma Surgery and doesn't dare to use the name Treatment Center.

Li Yuanhong was indeed a little embarrassed, but this was a decision made by the hospital and the orthopedic department leaders, and it was not something that a nobody like him could influence.

Li Yuanhong had brought his family with him and hadn't been back for long, so Fang Ziye naturally felt embarrassed to ask Li Yuanhong to take him to the department to meet people again, since most people were resting at this time.

It's the weekend, after all.

Moreover, Fang Ziye is just a student, and he doesn't have such airs that he needs someone to pick him up.

Li Yuanhong made a phone call, but no one answered.

This made Li Yuanhong a little uneasy, so after hitting him again, he chased after him.

"Dr. Fang, let me give you a ride. I called but no one answered. I don't know where Zhang Jinchuan is." Li Yuanhong muttered.

Fang Ziye knew Zhang Jinchuan; he was a doctor in Director Hong's group at the Trauma Center. He was newly promoted, having graduated with a master's degree from Three Gorges University. He had only been in the department for two years and planned to take the intermediate professional title exam for attending physician this year.

“It’s okay, Brother Hong. Didn’t you promise to pick up your child from the training class?” Fang Ziye explained.

The hospital didn't seem to be very crowded on the weekend, but the emergency room was packed with people, and there were doctors in white coats coming and going, busy all the time.

"Never mind, I'll have my wife go."

“Dr. Fang, you’ve come all this way to Enshi, and you’re going to the department all by yourself? I’m still worried. What if the security guards stop you at the door? That would be so embarrassing.” Li Yuanhong is from here and knows that the security guards here are all a bit hot-tempered.

If things go wrong, they might refuse to let Fang Ziye in, and the on-duty doctor inside might not even know what's going on and kick Fang Ziye out. Even if Fang Ziye isn't so bad-tempered as to just walk away, this matter is still a thorn in his side.

Fang Ziye's trip down from Zhongnan Hospital this time was specially arranged by the old director.

Naturally, the old director that Li Yuanhong knew was not Li Guohua, but the old director of Enshi Central Hospital.

The two pressed the elevator buttons all the way. Fang Ziye's suitcase was a bit conspicuous, but there was no way around it; he had to carry it, so it took up quite a bit of space.

Although it was a bit crowded, Fang Ziye seemed kind and looked like a student. The few people who were annoyed smiled at Fang Ziye, afraid that he might be nervous.

The sixteenth floor houses two departments: a trauma treatment center and a spinal treatment center.

Fang Ziye learned from the official website that the Trauma Surgery Treatment Center was formerly the Spinal Minimally Invasive Surgery Department after the secondary sub-department of Orthopedics in 09, and was merged into Joint Surgery and Spinal Surgery in 2010.

Therefore, the trauma treatment center at Enshi Central Hospital is more accurately described as a hybrid of minimally invasive spinal surgery and joint surgery, rather than a purely trauma surgery center.

In Enzhou, if you want to find a good trauma surgeon, you have to go to another top-tier tertiary hospital, Enzhou Minzu Hospital, or a third-tier Class B hospital, Enzhou People's Hospital.

Fang Ziye had no idea what the story was behind it.

However, the furnishings of the Western medicine department are not particularly new, but they have been renovated once, so they are not particularly old either.

After Li Yuanhong led Fang Ziye down the elevator, he said to the security guard at the door, "Brother Lu, this is Dr. Fang. He is a teacher from Zhongnan Hospital in Wuhan who came here to mentor us. If he is inconvenient in the future and doesn't have a name tag, please take care of him."

But when Brother Lu saw Li Yuanhong, he paused for a moment and said, "Dr. Li, you're back?"

"Oh, you're back just in time. The department was in an uproar today."

"I don't know what happened, but the car overturned on the highway. No one died, but there are a lot of patients with fractures and dislocations. Director Zhang, Director Hong, and even Director Qiu have all gone to the emergency room. You should go quickly."

After Lu Ge finished speaking, he looked at Fang Ziye and said, "Dr. Fang, can you also go and help?"

Brother Lu was in his forties or fifties. After he finished speaking, he carefully memorized Fang Ziye's appearance.

He knew about the Central South Hospital affiliated with Seoul National University. This was the Eun-si Clinical College of the Medical School of Seoul National University; he'd heard about it so many times he was sick of it.

Doctors are a rarity in hospitals, and Zhang Mingcan, the department director, dreams of having a doctor work in the department...

Fang Ziye didn't reply, but just looked at Li Yuanhong. Li Yuanhong's expression was extremely conflicted. Actually, he was a trainee, and his personnel file was in another city, so he wasn't on duty. He had finally managed to get a month's leave and come back to visit his family after exchanging shifts with others, but he was being conscripted by his department. From his family's perspective, Li Yuanhong felt that he shouldn't have come.

But when he encountered this situation, Li Yuanhong also faced difficulties.

"Come on, Xiao Fang, I'll take you to the break room to sit for a while, then I'll change my work clothes. You don't need to move. Your place of practice isn't at our hospital."

“It’s good that no one dies in such a large emergency, but with so many injured patients, accidents are inevitable…” Li Yuanhong led Fang Ziye inside, while Brother Lu guarded the door even more strictly, as if watching to see who was about to barge in.

The two went straight to the nurses' station.

The nurses' station was extremely busy. Not only were the seats across from them full of people, but even the rectangular reception area of ​​the nurses' station was lined up with trolleys and wheelchairs.

The scene looked somewhat chaotic.

Inside, there was only one person in a white coat being attacked by a group of people. Suddenly, he roared, "Stop arguing! Will arguing solve anything? First come, first served, there's an absolute order. I can only do it one at a time. Everyone's in pain!"

Seeing this, Li Yuanhong very maturely did not linger, but left first to put on his white coat.

When there are many people around, work clothes are the primary identifier!

Upon arriving at the lounge, Li Yuanhong immediately put on his white coat, which also contained a mask that had been opened at some point. He ignored it, put it on, and walked out.

Before leaving, he instructed, "Ziye, you can rest here. If we haven't returned in fifteen minutes, you can go back first."

"You don't need to worry about things in the department for now."

Fang Ziye nodded.

Hospitals have their own rules and procedures, but Fang Ziye still explained, "Brother Hong, the reason I didn't go to the operating room in the last few days was because I changed my place of practice, so I couldn't practice in the departments of Zhongnan Hospital. Even the medical orders were written by my junior colleagues."

"This is where I'm currently practicing. Feel free to call me if you need anything."

Fang Ziye was very dedicated to accumulating knowledge points. When he arrived at Enshi Central Hospital, where there were many patients, how could Fang Ziye let the procedures waste his time?

Speaking of this, Fang Ziye even asked an acquaintance for help. Just yesterday afternoon, Fang Ziye saw through his platform that his application for a temporary change of practice location had been approved. Currently, his practice location has been transferred to Enshi Central Hospital in the physician practice management system interface.

I just haven't gotten my green certificate stamped yet.

But that's okay, we can just cover it up again later. As long as it's displayed in the system, we can just cover it up again in no time.

"It's okay, I'll call you if anything happens. You can rest for a bit." Li Yuanhong quickly joined the battle.

Fang Ziye then sat down and put his backpack on the bed.

She sent a message to Luo Tingzhu, who was still awake and working late into the night in the lab: "Just arrived at the hospital and the department, and there was a major car accident. It seems that no one has lost vital signs yet, but there are quite a few injured people."

Fang Ziye didn't use the word "death," which made it seem a little more tactful.

However, Luo Tingzhu did not reply immediately. Two minutes later, she secretly replied, "Huh? Is it like the scene in the TV series? I'm doing an experiment. I'll talk to you when I get back."

Luo Tingzhu probably heard the WeChat message, and then tore off her gloves midway to reply to Fang Ziye with a voice message.

Hearing this, Fang Ziye stopped bothering him and patiently started browsing the hospital's official website.

Enshi Central Hospital has three orthopedic-related specialties: spinal surgery, joint surgery, and trauma surgery, each with a fancy-sounding name like a treatment center.

Spinal surgery and joint surgery are highly specialized departments, while trauma surgery is a mixed department that deals with all kinds of diseases.

After all, everyone in Enshi knows that the trauma surgery department here has certain shortcomings in treating fractures, not as good as Minzu University Hospital and People's Hospital, so they don't come here for treatment.

If you're looking for specialized trauma center treatment, you'd probably find the number of patients in that department to be pitifully small.

That is why it is necessary to improve the capabilities of trauma surgery, and to invite doctors from higher-level hospitals to come and build a reputation here through methods such as inviting counterpart assistance, counterpart exchanges, and counterpart support.

While Fang Ziye was still pondering this, a young man rushed in, looking hurried, and immediately changed into a white coat.

But when he was buttoning his shirt, he took a closer look and discovered Fang Ziye, a stranger, who was sitting on the bed without a mask or hat.

With a hint of surprise and wariness, he asked, "Who are you? Family members aren't allowed in the doctors' break room."

Fang Ziye stood up first: "Hello, brother, my name is Fang Ziye. I came here from Zhongnan Hospital to study. I came with Dr. Li Yuanhong. Brother Yuanhong told me to rest here for a while."

Fang Ziye specifically emphasized Li Yuanhong's name.

"Oh, you must be Dr. Fang. Hello, hello." The young man on the other end of the line relaxed and quickly smiled.

“I’m a resident trainee here, and I’ve heard your name, Ye-ge, many times recently.”

"Guo Yunlei, Guo as in Guo Jing, Yun as in cloud, and Lei as in three stones. I'm here to help with the admission procedures." He made a point of introducing himself.

"The 'fang' in 'four directions' and the 'ye' in 'studies'."

"Can I help with the hospital admission procedures? It would be good for me to get familiar with the patients and the atmosphere here," Fang Ziye offered.

Admitting patients is like being on duty, and it's also a learning experience.

Unexpectedly, Guo Yunlei waved his hand and said, "No need, no need. You were specially invited by Director Zhang to do experiments, how could we dare to let you work in the department?"

"I should be able to handle this by myself. The other brothers will be here soon."

"Dr. Fang, you should rest first." Guo Yunlei said and ran out.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye's expression darkened.

I'm here to conduct experiments for Director Zhang? Who the hell told me that? How come I didn't even know that?

Could it be that Professor Li Guohua didn't explain it clearly?
If I were to do an experiment, would I be crazy to come all the way to Enshi to do it?

However, Guo Yunlei had already run away, and Li Yuanhong was busy. At this time, there were many patients outside, so Fang Ziye couldn't ask any questions.

However, Fang Ziye continued to ponder this matter.

After considering it for more than ten minutes, Fang Ziye finally smiled and said.

"Working for someone else to do experiments? That's impossible. Giving me some pointers is fine, but if you really want me to stay in the lab, then so be it!" Fang Ziye shook his head.

Before he came, he made a special trip to the training room to say goodbye to Professor Li Guohua. Professor Li Guohua told him to study hard and strive to enter the most competitive stage of trauma surgery as soon as possible.

This refers to osteotomy, currently the most popular surgical procedure and the forefront of clinical exploration in trauma surgery, to help Zhongnan Hospital expand its reach and make its own voice heard.

Following that, several more young people arrived one after another.

They were all called in temporarily, just like Guo Yunlei before them.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the department has enough staff, and there is really nothing for Fang Ziye to help with.

Moreover, Fang Ziye figured the other directors were all busy, and seeing that Luo Tingzhu had also finished her experiment, he simply pushed his box and left first.

He originally wanted to come and get to know the patients in the department, but if the current situation doesn't allow it, he'll come tomorrow or early Monday morning.

Perfect timing, Fang Ziye can also handle the article part.

In terms of writing articles, Fang Ziye was responsible for data registration, which meant converting the visualized data processed by Lan Tianluo into rigorous text.

The workload is considerable, and it's also the part that best hones descriptive skills.
