Chapter 283 The Strongman Senior Brother (Please Subscribe)

At 7:49 p.m. on New Year's Eve, Luo Tingzhu had already attended two New Year's banquets and rushed back.

The tea table was covered with fruit platters, melon seeds, peanuts, pistachios, walnuts, and other dried fruits.

Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu sat side by side, facing a projector screen displaying what wasn't funny, but rather rather somewhat comical, footage from the Spring Festival Gala...

Fang Ziye's left hand had somehow already wrapped around Luo Tingzhu's neck, and Luo Tingzhu's body was already half-leaning into Fang Ziye's arms.

Luo Tingzhu was peeling a tangerine and feeding one-third of it to Fang Ziye, who only had one free hand. She put one segment into Fang Ziye's mouth and the other two segments into his hand.

Luo Tingzhu herself pursed her lips and chewed slowly...

Both of them were breathing very softly, completely absorbed in watching TV, as if nothing else could distract them.

Everything seemed to be in a time of peace and tranquility.

Fang Ziye's phone started vibrating.

Fang Ziye thought it was his parents calling, but when he picked it up, he found that it wasn't his family calling, but Qin Geluo from his department.

It was New Year's Eve, and Fang Ziye's current schedule was still abroad, so he pretended not to see it and let it vibrate for a while.

Luo Tingzhu raised her eyelids slightly, her brows furrowing slightly: "How did Teacher Qin know you were in Han City?"

"Have you already asked Teacher Yuan?"

Luo Tingzhu was very clever, so she expressed her desire for Fang Ziye to answer the phone in a very subtle way.

"Not necessarily. My master called me to the department yesterday."

"Qin Geluo must have found out I'm back from other people. He probably called me today to ask me to go to the department for a shift, but I don't really want to go."

"I will be taking over this position after the New Year, and there will be endless shifts to work."

Fang Ziye's tone turned very realistic at this point: "Besides, it's a holiday today. My mentor hasn't even given me a look at his National Natural Science Foundation of China grant proposal. Why should I bother trying to get into the department?"

Fang Ziye knew the subsequent arrangements and knew that he would be working in the clinic for a long time. During that time, his knowledge accumulation rate would be at a high speed for a very long period of time.

Unless Qin Geluo encounters a super emergency, in which case Qin Geluo would definitely have Yuan Weihong call him instead of him calling him to come to the department.

However, Fang Ziye was wrong again this time.

It only took twenty seconds.

Yuan Weihong's phone rang—

Fang Ziye was slightly startled upon seeing this.

Yuan Weihong said, "Ziye, you should go to the department first. There have been several car accidents near the hospital. There are a lot of patients piling up in the emergency room. Qin Geluo can't handle them all by himself. We need to call in the second shift."

"But Brother Nie Xuehua has already returned to his hometown, and Associate Professor Chen Fang from the third-tier class is not in Wuhan either, so I can only go and take a look temporarily."

"If we have a company-wide consultation later and the second and third shifts can't find anyone, it will be a big problem."

"Go to the department first," Yuan Weihong explained simply.

Fang Ziye realized something was wrong when Yuan Weihong called.

Upon hearing Yuan Weihong finish speaking, Fang Ziye quickly replied, "Okay, Master, I'll be right there. I was just about to answer the phone when I went to the restroom, and the call was cut off as soon as I came out."

Fang Ziye casually made up an excuse to deal with it.

"Yes, because of the emergency, Qin Geluo couldn't contact you, so he came directly to me."

"Hurry up and come over, I'll drive here." Yuan Weihong said quickly and then hung up the phone.

Fang Ziye tidied up a bit and saw that Luo Tingzhu was also planning to set off.

She quickly said, "You definitely won't go to the department, and not everyone needs to work overtime. You can wait here. If I can come back before the Lunar New Year, we can cook some wontons."

"If you go too, there won't be anything to eat for New Year's Eve."

In the area where Chongqing, Hunan, and Hubei provinces meet, there is a custom of eating wontons on New Year's Eve and for breakfast on the first day of the Spring Festival, similar to eating dumplings during the Spring Festival.

Because it's close to the south, many people aren't used to eating dumplings, so it evolved into wontons.

Luo Tingzhu thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, Senior Brother."

"Come back early when you're not busy. If we need help going on stage, let's spend New Year's Eve together in the operating room."

Fang Ziye smiled upon hearing this and waved as he headed out the door.

……

On the way, Fang Ziye looked at his control panel—

[Current knowledge points balance: 13542.1]

【医学基础理论：外科学3级129/500、骨科学3级151/500、创伤外科3级332/500、手外科学3级43/500、关节外科3级21/500、运动医学3级2/500……】

His basic medical theory level was still only 3. Although it had improved compared to when he was in Enshi in the middle of the year, Fang Ziye still felt that this level of ability was not enough.

At first, Fang Ziye did not think that basic theory was very important; he thought it was enough to know it and have a certain diagnostic and cognitive ability.

However, Fang Ziye could never forget that emergency surgery in Enshi.

When facing Dr. Nie Mingxian, who has now returned to Kyoto, my lack of knowledge about treatment procedures will be my biggest obstacle.

Previously, the principle was to maximize the use of knowledge points, so Fang Ziye aimed to save as much as possible.

But now that the position of the Great Injustice is already a sure thing, no matter what, I have to take it.

Whether it's pretending or just filling in for someone else.

Since you've taken on the job, you have to do it well.

To excel as a chief resident, operational skills are only part of the job; more importantly, it requires a deep understanding of the diseases and the ability to select the optimal treatment solution.

Theory is a very important element.

Therefore, Fang Ziye continued to identify and address any shortcomings.

The panel then became—

【医学基础理论：外科学4级0/5000、骨科学4级0/5000、创伤外科3级0/5000、手外科学3级0/5000、关节外科3级21/500、运动医学3级2/500……】

Fang Ziye did not rashly add more points.

In joint surgery and sports medicine, there are no purely emergency cases. They are subspecialties where, at worst, you can wait a day to see an outpatient. There will be no amputation, and no one will die. Fang Ziye is not a professional sports medicine or joint surgeon, so naturally he wouldn't recklessly waste his knowledge points on adding theoretical knowledge and basic skills in these two areas.

It's not necessary at all.

【医学基础操作技能：医学基础查体4级12/5000、缝合术4级23/5000、止血术4级51/5000、切开术4级99/5000、打结术4级5/5000、清创术3级231/500、X线阅片术3级233/500、CT阅片术3级209/500、穿刺术3级2/500、外科常规器械操作经验3级9/500、医学常规检查阅读经验3级41/500。】

During his time abroad, Fang Ziye had few opportunities even in the laboratory, let alone in clinical settings.

However, although he couldn't practice in clinical settings, Fang Ziye still spent a considerable amount of time learning how to interpret images.

After Luo Tingzhu went to the lab, Fang Ziye had nothing else to do but read books.

In addition to increasing basic theoretical knowledge, reading books will also increase experience in film reading techniques.

For watching films, reading more books and watching more films is the key to practice. Practice makes perfect.

Besides reviewing films, all Fang Ziye can do is access and read some routine examination materials, as long as he doesn't waste them.

The rest of the time, Fang Ziye focused solely on writing his graduation thesis.

【医学专科基础技能：手法复位术4级3549/5000、血管切开术4级4/5000、血栓取栓术4级4/5000、血管缝合术4级5/5000、按压止血术3级0/500、缝扎止血术3级0/500、神经缝合术3级2/500、四肢简单骨折切开复位内固定术4级0/5000、骨盆骨折切开复位内固定术4级505/5000、肌腱缝合术2级3/50……】

Specialized skills have remained almost unchanged.

For example, Fang Ziye's proficiency in open reduction and internal fixation of pelvic fractures is still at the level he achieved when he and Shen Tao worked together to perform pelvic fracture surgery before he went abroad and when his senior brother Wu Xuanqi caused trouble for the director of Enshi Central Hospital.

Six months have passed, and there has been almost no progress.

【专科技能：康复医学——按摩5级11/50000、康复医学——神经肌电学4级101/5000、康复医学——药物疗法4级31/5000、截骨术3级203/500、取骨植骨术（打压植骨术）3级202/500……】

There have been no changes in specialized skills; there are just a lot of useless skills.

Fang Ziye didn't know if he would still be able to use these rehabilitation medicine skills in the future.

But it seems that spending just over six thousand knowledge points to get Kai back to work in the hospital's administrative department and to be able to walk with crutches is already a great deal.

[Advanced skills for associate degree holders...]

[Cutting-edge Specialty Skills: Osteotomy and Orthopedic Surgery Level 3 201/500...]

Actually, Fang Ziye had already developed a certain level of proficiency in osteotomy and orthopedic surgery before he went abroad.

At that time, Fang Ziye told Yuan Weihong that he had not completed his studies in osteotomy and orthopedic surgery, but in fact, if anyone wanted to test Fang Ziye, he could still meet the requirements and would not break his promise.

Of course, Fang Ziye wouldn't bring it up himself unless someone else did.

Fang Ziye has already made quite a splash.

In this year, regardless of major, Fang Ziye won the top prize in the academic scholarship. The prize money for the top prize is higher than the prize money for the provincial young physician skills competition, totaling 80,000 yuan.

That's enough hype, isn't it?

Among orthopedic graduate students, Dr. Fang Ziye plans to graduate early and start working early. Isn't that enough to attract attention?
Then, among the younger generation of doctors, Fang Ziye still outshone everyone and won the top prize, although the reason for winning the top prize that time was coincidental.

But whether it's a coincidence or luck, it's also part of one's ability.

Finally, let's talk about the field of orthopedics as a whole.

Fang Ziye, as a domestic scholar, published three high-impact articles in the journal. One of them was commissioned by BMJ.

What is a "home field article"? It's an article that your team produces entirely on your own, with no authorship or other involvement whatsoever.

Fang Ziye's three main articles include one on oncology, with an impact factor (IF) as high as 28.
Another commissioned article was for BMJ. The name BMJ itself doesn't need to be specifically measured by its impact factor, as it is one of the four top medical journals.

The professor's publication has many benefits.

As for the other article about the HK2 gene knockout animal model, although its impact factor is not high, the value of this type of article cannot be measured by the simple impact factor.

The establishment of such a groundbreaking animal model represents the beginning of a pathway biology concept.

For this pathway to have biological significance, it must first be confirmed that knocking it out is harmless to the organism...

Of course, Fang Ziye believed that his academic achievements were due to his two auxiliary skills.

【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）。】

"Level 3 is already quite useful in the department, Level 4 is a proficiency level that can be used in formal settings, and Level 5 is considered to be somewhat exceptional."

"The proficiency of medical operation skills is not something to be taken lightly. Every level you improve, or even every step up within that level, every hundred more points of proficiency you gain, will be truly reflected in your hands."

"I don't have many Level 5 skills right now, and the two Level 5 skills I have are not related to actual clinical practice, but it doesn't matter. I'm just the chief resident, not a professor leading a group, so I don't need to be responsible for all the surgeries."

"What I need to do is to provide routine diagnosis and treatment and referrals for the most basic emergency cases..."

"If you really can't handle it, you can ask your older brothers for help. There's no need to put too much pressure on yourself."

"Good steel should be used on the blade. Knowledge should be saved first. If it can save a patient's life at a critical moment, I will save it for myself."

"Adding a little bit won't waste any time anyway," Fang Ziye murmured to himself.

We arrived at the department quickly.

In the trauma surgery department, Fang Ziye noticed that his junior colleague Wu Chengwen, who was on duty, and Xiao He, a local from Wuhan, were already busy working in the department.

Qin Geluo was not in the department.

However, Xiao He recognized Fang Ziye at first glance, and knew that Fang Ziye was coming.

It's unclear whether Fang Ziye had been gone for too long or Xiao He was too nervous, but after recognizing Fang Ziye, he quickly said to Wu Chengwen, "Senior brother, the recruits Brother Luo brought are here."

Xiao He actually ran to the office to report, leaving Fang Ziye, who had clearly heard Xiao He's words, with his lips twitching and not knowing what to say.

Upon hearing Xiao He's call, Wu Chengwen quickly came out and saw Fang Ziye rushing out of the doctor's office, quickly putting on a white coat. He then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He scolded Xiao He, "You're not a first-year junior, don't you know people? You should call him Senior Brother Fang."

After saying that, Wu Chengwen quickly put on a mournful face and said, "Senior Brother Fang, you came just in time, otherwise I would have exploded. There were quite a few patients in the department today..."

Looking at the injured patients in the doctor's office, some with family members and some without, Fang Ziye felt sorry for them all...

Before he could compose himself, Fang Ziye asked as he walked toward the office, "Xiao He, your master is called Brother Xi, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao He's face immediately fell.

He quickly followed up, trying to appease her: "Senior brother, please don't, senior brother..."
