top student at medical school

Chapter 197 It's difficult to reach the other shore! (Please subscribe)

Surgical time does not necessarily indicate the quality of surgical technique. However, when the level of surgical skill is guaranteed, a shorter surgical time does indicate a high level of proficiency in operation and technique.

Professor Duan Hong is either an orthopedic surgeon or a trauma surgeon, and he knows that the most time-consuming part of fracture surgery is reduction. However, Professor Deng Yong's team seems to handle this aspect with ease.

It is obvious that Fang Ziye was behind this before Deng Yong took office.

He and his student Wu Xuanqi only discovered this trickery near the end of the surgery, and Wu Xuanqi was also skilled in manual reduction.

By this analogy, Fang Ziye's current technique for repositioning becomes somewhat noteworthy.

It seems that what my student Wu Xuanqi told me about, the things Fang Ziye had been working on, really did make some breakthrough progress.

The operation is over.

Deng Yong did not reply to Duan Hong's words, but said to Director Wu Guonan, "Director Wu, the surgery is over. The rest is up to you."

"The patient's fracture has been treated very well. Basically, after the anesthesia wears off, he will be able to get out of bed with crutches right away. Professor Duan has already cleaned and sutured the wound and sutured the blood vessels on the other side of the lower limb, and a filter has also been put on. I estimate that getting out of bed will not be a problem either."

"If the bleeding is effectively stopped, no additional drainage is needed."

Duan Hong nodded, knowing that Deng Yong didn't want to talk to him about Fang Ziye right now.

He and Deng Yong were only there for consultation and surgery. Once the surgery was done, that was it. Why bother with anything else? Just hand it over to Wu Guonan.

Wu Guonan glanced at Xue Tao, who immediately reported the situation in the operating room to Shen Dong, Liu Chaodong, and others who were guarding outside.

Then, in full view of everyone, the patient Pang Hong was moved to a patient transfer bed. It could be seen that Pang Hong's expression was indifferent, his eyes were empty, and his face was expressionless. He just stared straight at the ceiling.

He was wheeled out of the operating room without putting up any resistance.

Only as he was leaving the operating room did he turn back to look at Deng Yong and the others inside: "Thank you, professors, for going to all this trouble for me."

He uttered a single sentence and was then pushed out.

……

Professor Feng and Nie Mingxian from the Department of Anesthesiology were responsible for Pang Hong's vital signs. Therefore, they would escort him all the way to the prison hospital or medical room in the prison before returning, striving to ensure that no accidents would occur at any stage. They wanted to get him into prison alive.

After Pang Hong left, Professor Duan Hong, who had taken off his sterile surgical gown and cap, touched his sparse hair and said with a simple-minded look, "What's the deal with this Pang Hong?"

"It was as if he had foreseen all of this."

"Who can say for sure? Let's go to the locker room first."

"Professor Deng, Professor Duan, thank you both for your hard work. We have arranged a simple meal, but you must eat before you leave." Wu Guonan had already instructed Wang Zhongxing to go up and complete the handover procedures for discharge and transfer.

Xue Tao personally attended to the patient's bedside, while Mao Mao was responsible for the cleanup in the operating room. However, Fang Ziye, who was in the team, was Professor Deng Yong's student, so arrangements still had to be made to ensure Professor Deng Yong's reception.

Deng Yong and Duan Hong didn't stand on ceremony either.

Although the surgery wasn't major, the two of them really traveled quite a distance.
A group of people surrounded the two professors and walked towards the operating room. They first went to the sink, washed their hands, and then planned to go down to the changing room!
At this moment, Xue Tao, Nie Mingxian, and the others were stunned at the entrance of the operating room. After a brief negotiation with Shen Dong, who came to meet them from the police, everyone was completely petrified!

Pang Hong, we'll hold off on transferring him to another prison for now!
Instead, they need to go back to their ward first.

Nie Mingxian asked in confusion, "This needs to be sent back to the ward? Did I hear that right, Officer Shen?"

“Yes, you heard me right. All of our other colleagues in the police force have already gone out on duty. Two more murders have occurred in Enshi today. This man named Pang Hong…” Shen Dong hesitated before continuing.

"How about we discuss this further once we get to the ward?" Shen Dong suggested, as if the operating room entrance wasn't the place to talk.

Duan Hong and Deng Yong, though filled with doubt, had no time to deal with the matter.

"It's quite interesting," Deng Yong said, neither confirming nor denying it.

Duan Hong nodded: "Indeed, there are many doubts. If you look into it closely, it's definitely a good story."

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Logically speaking, in a case like Pang Hong's, there's no way he could simply refuse surgery or delay the process; there must be something else going on.

If you intend to kill an ordinary person, no one will reason with you, right?

Wu Guonan sent a message to Xue Tao, then went down to the locker room to meet Duan Hong and Professor Deng Yong!

However, less than ten minutes later, just as Duan Hong and Professor Deng Yong reached the underground parking lot and got into their car to depart, Wu Guonan, the driver, received a call from Xue Tao.

Then, Wu Guonan felt a chill run down his spine. After Fang Ziye sat in the passenger seat and closed the car door, Wu Guonan turned on the speakerphone!
Inside, Xue Tao's voice trembled slightly...

Pang Hong was a remarkable talent. At the age of thirty-three, he became the associate chief physician of infectious disease surgery and led his own team in the department.

Infectious disease surgery admits patients with infections. After debridement, these patients are prone to recurrence of infections, drug-resistant infections, and even multiple infections. This is all quite normal.

However, Pang Hong was quite arrogant, believing that his skills were good and his debridement was also quite good. According to the description in the literature, there should not be such a high probability and large-scale postoperative infection in patients.

Pang Hong's speculation stems from his confidence in his surgical skills and medication.

However, reality proved him wrong time and time again.

He investigated many issues, such as whether the medicine was ineffective or whether the dosage was incorrect. He consulted with colleagues in the pharmacy department, various functional departments, and other hospitals.

They all use similar drugs, from the same manufacturers, and the dosages are all the same.

However, Pang Hong's own patients had an exceptionally high infection rate.

Then, during one of his surgeries, Pang Hong accepted a small steel plate from the medical device company, saying he wanted to take it back as a souvenir. Later, he deliberately damaged a few screws...

You should know that unusual drug-resistant bacteria, or rather, uncommon drug-resistant bacteria, are not found everywhere, especially in the operating room. Even if you put them off the operating table, they should not be present routinely.

Pang Hong secretly sent the samples for testing several times, and the results all revealed something was wrong.

Pang Hongcai then realized that he had been used.

They used their positions in infectious disease surgery to become a tool for selling the company's sensitive and expensive antibiotics.

Pang Hong remained arrogant, so he reported the matter to the hospital's purchasing office, thinking that would be the end of it.

Unexpectedly, the medical device manufacturer contacted him the next day.

The negotiations didn't go well!
Furthermore, Pang Hong even received a public reprimand from within the hospital.

At this point, Pang Hong realized that the medical device company in Enshi was actually a monopoly, backed by a powerful capital giant. Moreover, the company's owner was a big shot, operating in Shanghai and contributing tens of millions of yuan in taxes to Enshi every year!
Therefore, Pang Hong was left with only two paths.

One option is to resign and go back to normal life; the other is to pretend you knew nothing about it. The company has also promised never to do such a thing again.

So, Pang Hong believed it with some skepticism. No one was willing to gamble with their future, and there was nowhere else to go if they left halfway. Pang Hong felt that it was enough to repent and let it go.

But later, Pang Hong discovered that nobody took this kind of thing seriously.

Therefore, after Pang Hong found the evidence a second time, he filed a complaint directly.

However, it is a well-established listed company with very strong public relations, so even if you try to investigate, you will find nothing.

The evidence Pang Hong collected himself couldn't be considered objective evidence, but Pang Hong knew there was definitely something fishy going on. He wanted to file a complaint and even considered exposing it...

However, the result is self-evident!

Not many people paid attention to this matter. Pang Hong lost the case and even faced imprisonment because no further evidence was found afterward.

Instead, just as Pang Hong was about to escape Enshi, he was arrested. Pang Hong had considered many things, but he never expected that someone from the police system would personally come to arrest him...

After all, how could an associate chief physician go so crazy and risk his future to cause trouble if he didn't have some evidence?
This could very well be another Sanlu milk scandal!
And then, five years later, that was the outcome: Pang Hong faced five years in prison.

Pang Hong's life in prison was not easy either.

Pang Hong didn't mention much about it, but after he was released from prison, people came to his door looking for him!
Pang Hong found everything in this world quite ridiculous. He didn't even dare to go home and could only stay in his "good friend's" department. No one could even imagine where Duan Hong would hide.

ICU!

Unexpectedly, and dared not, venture into such a place to seek another path.

However, Pang Hong no longer has any material evidence.

Five years have passed, and everything is gone. He is no longer the associate chief physician of infectious disease surgery. Although his title is still there, his position is gone. No hospital or infectious disease department supports him. Let alone complaining, even if he wants to see patients, no one will pay attention to him.

That day, the director of the ICU called Pang Hong, warning him to be careful, as a policeman might be admitted to the ICU. Pang Hong didn't take it seriously at first, but he discovered that the person admitted to the ICU was indeed a policeman, and after inquiring, he found out that this policeman was also a hero.

Pang Hong knew his chance had come!

The murder case must be solved!

You can’t become a Buddha without being crazy!
The murder case must be solved!

Rather than just going out and killing some random unlucky guy, taking down this Zhang Yu would cause a much bigger sensation!
All ordinary murder cases will be solved!
Especially a murder case like this?
But Pang Hong didn't want to kill anyone; he just wanted to attract attention. He had a good relationship with the head of the ICU and had been there for quite a while, so when he asked the resident trainee to remove the tubes, the trainee didn't think much of it.

Pang Hong used to be a director, an associate chief physician.

Therefore, after realizing what had happened, the resident trainee immediately reported it to the on-duty doctor...

Pang Hong felt that there was probably no danger to his life in this situation, so he could escape and take this opportunity to explain everything properly.

Later, Pang Hong deliberately lured Shen Dong, who came to arrest him, to break his own leg. He even hoped that Shen Dong would cripple him and make him need to stay in the hospital for a longer period of time, so that he would have enough time to deal with the situation.

When it comes to the murder of a hero, do you think the investigation will be thorough?

If you want to investigate further, then continue the investigation!
If they don't investigate and continue to deal with the matter perfunctorily, then Pang Hong feels he can keep this secret to himself for the rest of his life.

Useless.

An ordinary person only has one life.

The other party has a very powerful background.

If you can't win, then admit defeat. What do other people's lives or deaths have to do with you?
I've already risked everything for this, almost losing my family and my reputation. What more do you want?

However, at this moment, Pang Hong thought that if he could take advantage of his hospitalization to delay the process and get the hospital staff to call in more professors from higher-level hospitals, or even a provincial-level forensic team, that would be the best outcome.

No matter how successful a company in Enshi is, it's impossible for it to be so corrupt as to fall into the provincial-level system!
However, Pang Hong did not receive a provincial-level forensic team.

His original plan was to wait until the surgery was completed by the hospital staff or the directors of Enshi City, and then a major medical dispute would erupt.

But unexpectedly, Zhang Mingcan, who was in the know, was quite capable and directly invited a professor from the province because of this matter.

Moreover, the people in the operating room happen to be from the entire medical system!
Pang Hong wanted to make one last desperate attempt...

However, Pang Hong felt that all his plans might fall through.

Because something else happened.

It's also a murder case that must be solved, and it's similar in nature to this one. Pang Hong guessed that it might be Huang Kai from the orthopedics department, or perhaps his former junior doctor who also encountered misfortune outside and was forced into this situation...

"Didn't this Pang Hong ever think of tipping off the professors he knew, or the people in the province?" Duan Hong, who looked like a chubby guy, sat in the back seat, completely puzzled.

To be honest, when he heard this, he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

Even when Pang Hong was the team leader, there was a dispute with the pharmaceutical sales representatives over the distribution of profits, but it didn't escalate to this extent. If it weren't for the fact that something like this happened, and if Pang Hong had his own principles, he would never have made such a scene.

Deng Yong took a breath and countered with an even more terrifying possibility: "Duan Hong, do you think it's possible that Pang Hong mentioned this before, and it was taken seriously, but the result was still the same as he said—there was no way to investigate. That's why it was left unresolved?"

"Stop talking, go eat, and go home early," Duan Hong said.

Infectious disease surgery has a dedicated branch, so there's no need for orthopedic or trauma surgeons to demonstrate their expertise here.

"What's the name of this medical device company in Enshi? What's its background?" Deng Yong asked Wu Guonan.

“Yuanhong Medical, the boss’s surname is Chen, and I heard he’s the son of a very famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor. This doctor used to work for a high-ranking official in Beijing,” Wu Guonan replied, still feeling a bit shaken.

Upon hearing this name, Deng Yong and Duan Hong's expressions instantly turned serious!
However, this name seemed to strike a chord deep within Wu Xuanqi's heart: "Impossible, Dr. Chen is definitely not that kind of person, and Boss Chen doesn't have that kind of temper. They would never do such a despicable thing."

……

Fang Ziye was listening nearby, completely bewildered.

He felt that the world was too real, so real that he felt powerless.

Fang Ziye is currently just a junior doctor. He has his own mentor, Professor Duan Hong, Director Wu Guonan, and so many big shots in charge here. He just needs to do his job well.

Of course, this old TCM doctor, Chen, was someone Professor Deng Yong had warned Fang Ziye not to provoke before he went to the countryside—

But after hearing all this...

Because of this surgery, Fang Ziye gained over 300 knowledge points by participating in almost the entire operation of Professor Deng Yong's feeding technique for repositioning, intramedullary nailing, and suturing.

However, Fang Ziye felt no joy at this moment.

Even the thrill of wanting to perform the surgery on Pang Hong and then send him to prison was gone.

In fact, in order to speed up the operation and ensure its quality, Fang Ziye cleared out all his knowledge of manual reduction techniques for fractures, all to save time.

I was hoping that my teacher would praise me a lot, or that Professor Duan Hong would ask me why his manual reduction technique was better than Wu Xuanqi's.

However, all his preparations were in vain.

The rest is all empty.

It felt as if I were adrift, rootless and helpless.

……

After the gossip subsided, Professor Duan Hong, who was slightly overweight and had a thick neck, looked at Fang Ziye and asked, "Professor Deng, is this the young Fang you mentioned before? He is indeed handsome."

Deng Yong quickly introduced Fang Ziye, saying, "Ziye, this is someone very important. He is my boss, Professor Duan Hong from Tongji Hospital, currently the head of the Department of Trauma Surgery."

Deng Yong continued joking, completely unaffected by the stories he had heard earlier.

Such strong mental fortitude made both Fang Ziye and Wu Xuanqi feel inferior to him.

Wu Xuanqi was about to say something when Duan Hong interrupted, "Hey, are you trying to embarrass me?"

"Come on, kowtow to the sect leader?" Professor Duan Hong, with his chubby face and chubby hands, patted his chest with one hand and pointed to the ground with the other.

"Even if you're dead, it's none of my business to kowtow to you. You're always thinking about taking advantage." Deng Yong rolled his eyes, straightened his shirt collar, and asked, "Hey, Professor Duan, why don't I see you wearing a shirt?"

"I'll wear your shirt, you old man!"

Professor Duan Hong pushed aside with his slightly chubby belly: "Come on, come on, teach me how to wear a shirt with this figure?"

"It's more like it'll burst." Professor Duan Hong was broad-shouldered and had an excellent attitude.

What else did Fang Ziye want to ask?

Deng Yong interrupted again: "Is your mouth itchy?"

Fang Ziye hesitated for a moment, then swallowed the words that were about to come out.

"Study hard, you two young men."

"It's difficult until you reach the other shore."

"It's all uncertain until you become an academician!" Deng Yong suddenly reminded the two people, meaning, do you think being a professor makes you so great?
The trouble should end it!
Once we leave the hospital, we're just ordinary people.

Once we leave Enshi Central Hospital, we're nothing in Enshi, even if we're still there.

Fang Ziye fell silent instantly, lost in thought. Suddenly, he realized that Professor Deng Yong, who had always seemed so aloof and superior, was now a few feet shorter...

The storyline concerning Pang Hong's personal life concludes here. Don't feel it's abrupt or unexpected; the author planted many foreshadowing elements.

This includes, but is not limited to, the earlier chapters, and even further back in time, where foreshadowing and hints are present.

Of course, this grand plot is not over yet, and our Ziye has not yet had a chance to shine, but this is a key plot point in Ziye's establishment of his Daoist heart.

This isn't the author's personal opinion; it's just borrowing and referencing other events. If you don't understand, just search "Sanlu" on Baidu.

Of course, it also sets the stage for later events, and while it may not be very appealing, it is a significant turning point.

This plot, and the subsequent developments related to the protagonist, are without any further twists or turns. After all, our protagonist, BBK, hasn't even appeared yet, nor has he obtained what he needs. But the later plot won't take such a turn.
