Chapter 225 It's Better to Rely on Yourself Than on Others (Please Subscribe)

The surgeries were all routine procedures; there were three surgeries in total, but Fang Ziye only had the opportunity to operate on two of them.

On the third stage, Shen Tao took the initiative to remove Fang Ziye from the stage, preventing him from getting involved any further.

"Stop doing this, Ziye. Once you get involved, none of us will feel truly involved in these surgeries." Shen Tao, who had been working as a tool for two machines, spoke decisively and crisply.

In the first two cases, Fang Ziye was responsible for manual reduction, and Xue Tao was responsible for open reduction and internal fixation. Shen Tao could only watch helplessly.

Zhong Xuegao and Cao Zhen, who were next to him, each worked on a sewing machine, so they didn't have much opportunity to practice their skills.

Teaching my ass, learning my ass.

It's important to understand that Fang Ziye can't stay at Enshi Central Hospital forever; it's better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish.

Fang Ziye should probably take a break.

Fang Ziye had earned 70+ knowledge points, but he wasn't quite satisfied yet. He could only sit down dejectedly by the operating room timer panel on the edge of the operating room.

There's nothing I can do. The chief surgeon has spoken. Fang Ziye is just a minor character, so he won't have a chance to get involved, and therefore won't gain any knowledge points...

Even if you're envious, you can only watch from the sidelines.

Seeing that he had already used up so many knowledge points, and his current balance was less than 500, which was not enough to add points to a level 4 skill, Fang Ziye felt a slight headache coming on.

There's a distorted mentality that if you can't find it, you've lost it.

Fang Ziye glanced at his current panel and thought to himself that it probably wouldn't change for a long time to come.

【医学基础理论：外科学3级89/500、骨科学3级102/500、创伤外科3级32/500、手外科学3级1/500、关节外科3级3/500、运动医学1级2/500……】

By identifying and addressing gaps in his knowledge, and by adding points in other areas, Fang Ziye discovered that his understanding of basic medical theory had improved to varying degrees.

Moreover, these improvements are likely to be my main areas of improvement for the foreseeable future.

When facing Nie Mingxian, Fang Ziye had gaps in his understanding of treatment procedures, which made him realize that he needed to catch up in terms of theoretical knowledge, otherwise it would affect his opportunities to practice.

【医学基础操作技能：医学基础查体4级2/5000、缝合术4级4/5000、止血术4级1/5000、切开术4级31/5000、打结术4级3/5000、清创术3级122/500、X线阅片术3级15/500、CT阅片术3级9/500、穿刺术2级14/20、外科常规器械操作经验2级19/50、医学常规检查阅读经验2级43/50。】

Because of Huang Kaikai's influence, Fang Ziye temporarily upgraded his cutting and knot-tying skills to level 4.

Nothing more than saving time and saving Zhang Yu's life.

The subsequent basic medical skills training seems somewhat unbalanced.

【医学专科基础技能：手法复位术4级3547.3/5000、血管切开术4级2/5000、血栓取栓术4级3/5000、血管缝合术4级2/5000、按压止血术2级0/50、缝扎止血术2级0/50、神经缝合术2级2/50、四肢简单骨折切开复位内固定术3级0/500、肌腱缝合术2级3/50……】

【专科技能：截骨术3级203/500、取骨植骨术（打压植骨术）3级202/500……】

[Advanced skills for associate degree holders...]

[Cutting-edge Specialty Skill: Osteotomy and Orthopedic Surgery...]

【辅助技能：医学基础细胞实验技术4级45/5000，动物基础试验技术包5级（0/500000）。】

"The skills competition will be held in mid-May."

"The key basic procedures in trauma surgery, and the events in this competition are five: incision, suturing, debridement, hemostasis, and osteotomy!"

“自己当前，缝合术4级4/5000、止血术4级1/5000、切开术4级31/5000、清创术3级122/500、截骨术3级203/500！”

Even if you add points to complete a new level 4 recently, you can only get a first prize at most.

"But this will delay the progress of adding points related to rehabilitation."

"Twenty thousand yuan for recovery." Fang Ziye was deeply conflicted.

In the morning, he sent a message to his mentor, Professor Deng Yong, asking if Professor Deng Yong could arrange for Huang Kai to be transferred to a sanatorium, but he was refused.

Decisive and straightforward, without even hesitating to ask further questions.

It's estimated that the current number of spots is very limited, and Huang Kai doesn't have the qualifications to get in yet; his social connections aren't high enough.

Fang Ziye dared not ask for the reason any further, knowing only that it was better to rely on himself than on others.

Since asking others for help wouldn't get Huang Kai into the sanatorium, and a highly specialized rehabilitation medicine doctor was needed, Fang Ziye decided that either he should ask Teacher Shen Tao to call a professional professor to help, or he should become one himself.

Even if he lost 10,000 yuan of the first prize's 20,000 yuan, Fang Ziye felt it was worth it to buy peace of mind.

Deng Yong, Yuan Weihong, and Shen Tao had no connection with Huang Kai, but Fang Ziye did.

When Fang Ziye arrived, Huang Kai was already the deputy chief physician in the hospital and had a promising future. However, Huang Kai did not become arrogant just because Fang Ziye was a student!
They even said they would treat Fang Ziye to a meal and take him to meet their niece. If they had become sworn brothers in such a short time, Fang Ziye couldn't possibly be that naive. He was simply offering to help out if he had the ability, a favor that could impact his friend's life without incurring significant personal loss.
"If you're only studying medicine for surgical skills competitions or for prize money, then what's the point of becoming a doctor?"

"Winning an award would be fine, anyway, I'm not under too much pressure right now. The hospital and the school don't affect the rewards for publishing articles."

After thinking for a moment, Fang Ziye selected one of his few skills and focused on the fundamental theory of rehabilitation medicine.

Fang Ziye didn't know if his choice was right or wrong, but at the moment, he just regretted it a little. He shouldn't have so easily spent five thousand knowledge points to add an animal experiment skill pack.

Fang Ziye originally thought that with the connections of the former director of Hongdu, Huang Kai could be provided with better medical resources in Enshi, so he didn't need to worry about it.

Shen Tao and the others knew nothing about these things.

Shen Tao was also asking about the rehabilitation department at Hubei Provincial People's Hospital, but they didn't know that Fang Ziye was actually one of the participants in the sanatorium project.

"Starting first might be more important than the result, after all, that's what you call 'Master Kai'."

"That upturned mouth." Fang Ziye smiled to himself and felt at ease, no longer worrying about gains and losses.

For a long time afterward, Fang Ziye divided his focus into two areas: animal experiments and the corresponding models and reagents, which are currently on their way and are expected to be completed soon.

Secondly, I'll earn knowledge points to improve my rehabilitation skills and save as many patients as I can. If Huang Kai finds a better solution later, I'll consider these knowledge points a waste.

I'll also participate in the provincial medical skills competition. Whether I win an award or not doesn't matter; participation is the most important thing.

……

Time is like water.

Three days later quickly arrived.

The surgery on the mother-in-law of Fang Ziye's old classmate Dong Dongxing was successful.

This bone defect would be difficult even for Dr. Hongdu, but Shen Tao had experience in performing such procedures, so the treatment was not difficult for him.

However, in this process, Fang Ziye's level 3 osteotomy once again played a crucial role, making the design of the bone graft material during the treatment of bone defects quite appropriate.

Shen Tao said that Fang Ziye's current level is probably almost on par with some associate professors.

This is not an exaggeration!

Fang Ziye had already revealed his abilities, so he wasn't afraid of Shen Tao's praise. Instead, he quietly added over 200 knowledge points to his pocket and then put those points into the basic theory of rehabilitation medicine, pushing his level to 4.

"Ziye, I cannot express my gratitude enough."

"My mother-in-law said she's feeling pretty good now; she doesn't feel any pain after the surgery," Dong Dongxing said to Fang Ziye after picking up his mother-in-law outside the operating room.

"The lack of pain is due to our effective pain management. We adopted the principle of preoperative analgesia. Whether or not there is pain is not the key to evaluating the success of the surgery. Instead, we need to look at the images, the stability of the fixation, and the subsequent rehabilitation treatment."

"Of course, it's not up to you to find them. These are our doctors' responsibilities. What you need to do is comfort the patient, encourage her to start rehabilitation training, and help with auxiliary training in the early stages." After his basic theory of rehabilitation medicine improved, Fang Ziye spoke fluently and systematically about the general approach.

That's a bit professional.

Dong Dongxing happened to like Fang Ziye's expertise: "Then, Ziye, I'll have to work hard. I have complete confidence in you."

"Enough said, let's have a drink together during the Dragon Boat Festival! You have to come to my house." Dong Dongxing tapped Fang Ziye's shoulder, his tone pleading, almost humble.

This is what it means to ask someone for help.

Even with your closest brothers or best friends, when you need something from them, you'll still be willing to give them a little something. This isn't mean, it's just human nature.

"Let's not talk about this after we drink, okay?" Fang Ziye straightened his white coat collar and said casually, looking down.

"Okay," Dong Dongxing said, but he didn't seem very confident.

After his mother-in-law was about to undergo surgery, Dong Dongxing used his connections to inquire again about the difficulty of the surgery.

The result forced Dong Dongxing to value the friendship his classmate had shown him.

In short, if all the doctors in Enshi insist that they don't know how to perform such a surgery, it won't do you any good if you complain.

Even if you sue Shen Tao, it won't do any good. Shen Tao is just here to provide counterpart assistance; he's not an employee of the hospital and isn't responsible for performing high-difficulty procedures. He's only responsible for teaching complex procedures.

"Sigh, if you talk like that, I feel our friendship will become shallower. We'll grow more and more distant in the future." Fang Ziye suddenly looked up, said this, and then walked away, leaving Dong Dongxing to compose himself.

It is Dong Dongxing, not Fang Ziye, who owes a debt of gratitude, so it is Dong Dongxing who needs to adjust his mindset.

This is similar to how Fang Ziye, when facing Professor Li Guohua, will always remember the kindness of arranging for him to gain experience at Enshi Central Hospital. No matter what else Professor Li has done or what his character is like, in this matter, he will always be his benefactor.
