Chapter 288 Learning to Grow Up (Please Subscribe)
When Luo Tingzhu finished chatting, she emphasized to Fang Ziye that while some people prefer pure clinical work, there must be others who prefer pure scientific research.

Most people would think that medical workers, or those working in clinical settings, shouldn't have the pressure and tasks of scientific research. Most medical workers are overwhelmed by the pressure of reality.

The truth is, there's no other way; China doesn't have enough resources to completely separate scientific research from clinical practice.

If you only want to do clinical work, and he only wants to do clinical work, then who will do the teaching and research? If no one does it, how can this discipline develop?
Therefore, for a long period of time initially, whether you like it or not, the domestic environment will be one where clinical research is carried out simultaneously, rather than being separated.

However, Luo Tingzhu and Fang Ziye's era was actually relatively happy.

Because China's medical disciplines have already developed to a certain level, even universities and top-tier hospitals can accommodate researchers who can honestly conduct their research without contacting patients or having medical disputes.

"If you want to do research, there are many majors and disciplines that are actually better than medicine. Medical research is basically difficult to make breakthroughs, and even if you do, the sense of accomplishment and achievement is not strong."

"Nuonuo, you don't think that because we are all clinical workers, you want to give up your job, do you?"

"If that's the case, I suggest you switch to internal medicine. Or I could switch to internal medicine. As long as it's not like working non-stop day and night, it's actually not a bad option."

"Because my parents can help a lot then." Today is New Year's Eve, so Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu had a more in-depth conversation, since there was nothing else to do anyway.

"When you graduate from high school, who can really figure out what they truly like? After you've made your choice, you might regret it, but you can only make another choice from the previous one, and it's hard to go back."

"I certainly enjoy being a doctor who heals and saves lives, but I'm not so absolutely set on being just a doctor anymore. I can also accept being a researcher."

After saying this, Luo Tingzhu took a sip of water and then said, "Actually, my thoughts are different from many people's because clinical work in reality is not very creative."

"Although many people do not get sick according to the textbook, the treatment after diagnosis is mostly done according to the textbook. In fact, it is a relatively mechanical and repetitive task."

"I don't think this kind of work is very meaningful or fulfilling."

"Some people may feel a sense of accomplishment after their knowledge and skills help alleviate the patient's pain and allow them to recover and be discharged from the hospital."

"But I personally believe that what we are doing now is just copying other people's treatment concepts."

"It's possible to be happy, but it doesn't necessarily make everyone happy."

“Perhaps in this respect, he and I are somewhat similar.” Luo Tingzhu sighed after saying this, probably because her feelings were rather complicated.

The "he" that Luo Tingzhu mentioned was Lan Tianluo.

Fang Ziye stopped worrying about it.

Luo Tingzhu is a free person. She gave a very good reason, and she is smart enough to understand Fang Ziye's meaning.

Fang Ziye simply didn't want Luo Tingzhu to give up her hobbies for the sake of so-called harmony; it didn't mean that Fang Ziye was forcing Luo Tingzhu to return to clinical practice and become a real doctor.

Everyone's sense of happiness is different and varies greatly.

For ordinary people, earning 10,000 yuan a month is a very welcome thing.

But for a billionaire, earning 10,000 a day would probably make him cry. After all, their savings are in the bank and they can earn that much income. If they can only earn 10,000 a day through their own efforts, it would be a huge loss and they would feel no joy at all.

……

The first day of the Lunar New Year is after Lunar New Year's Eve.

According to custom, the first day of the Lunar New Year is the time for paying New Year's visits.

Naturally, Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu had nowhere to visit for New Year's greetings.

Luo Tingzhu's parents also returned to where they belonged.

As parents, we are also children, and we can make our own arrangements for New Year's Eve.

You can celebrate the Chinese New Year at home or away.

That's the freedom to have your own family reunion, but visiting relatives after New Year's Eve isn't something you can do whenever you want, or refuse to go if you don't want to.

At the very least, people usually visit their grandparents, and then go to their maternal grandparents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year to pay their respects...

Both sides invited Luo Tingzhu, but she declined both invitations, choosing instead to stay in Han City. Furthermore, starting from the second day of the Lunar New Year, Luo Tingzhu went straight to the laboratory.

You could say he's a bit of a workaholic.

Of course, Fang Ziye would need to accompany Yuan Weihong on a visit to some people during this time.

There's no need to buy gifts; Yuan Weihong has already bought them all. Fang Ziye just needs to carry them.

I plan to visit a few more places this year than in previous years.

The first place we went to was Professor Deng Yong's home. Professor Deng Yong was not as dejected as the rumors in the department suggested. Instead, he had a kind of resilient spirit, just waiting to draw his sword, and he was about to do so.

It was only when Fang Ziye was at Professor Deng Yong's home that he learned that the reason Professor Deng Yong had not been promoted was because his overall resume was not good enough.

Looking at Fang Ziye's output in this respect, it is certainly quite good for someone his age. However, looking at it from a broader perspective, some professors of Professor Deng Yong's age have produced much more than this amount of research output.

China is a vast country with abundant resources. Even if someone uses various methods to produce a super article, you can only admire them because at least they can produce it.

But in fact, China is full of talented people.

Therefore, Professor Deng Yong doesn't expect anything like Outstanding Young Person or Yangtze River Scholar; he only wants to build a top-notch trauma surgery team and orthopedic research atmosphere in Hubei Province.

He strives to make the voice of Central South University heard throughout the country while he is still alive.

Then, Fang Ziye also accompanied Yuan Weihong to visit Professor Han Yuanxiao and Director Du Xinzhan of the Department of Orthopedic Joint Surgery.

Professor Han Yuanxiao is currently the administrative director of the Department of Trauma Surgery, while Professor Du Xinzhan is the chief administrative director of the Department of Orthopedics. Both of them are figures who truly hold the administrative power over recruitment in the Department of Orthopedics.

Fang Ziye wanted to stay in the hospital, and he wanted to graduate early and stay in the hospital. Even if Professor Deng Yong agreed, he would definitely have to tell these two people first, and with Yuan Weihong's mediation, they would have dinner and drinks together.

Of course, this process was very smooth.

It seems that Professor Li Guohua arranged Fang Ziye's hospitalization before he was taken away from Zhongnan Hospital.

The other senior professors had long accepted this arrangement. Fang Ziye's early graduation and entry into the faculty meant that he had to be a part of the faculty this year, even though it would squeeze out many of his fellow doctoral students, such as Wang Yuanqi, Gu Yi, and Dong Wenqiang, who were in their third year of doctoral studies.

But he could only be squeezed out, because Fang Ziye was good enough that he wouldn't be squeezed out by others; otherwise, no one would pity Fang Ziye.

Naturally, neither of these two former directors showed particular enthusiasm; at least, their enthusiasm was only superficial.

Fang Ziye was already officially affiliated with Professor Deng Yong. No matter how hard the two tried to seize it, they definitely wouldn't succeed.

However, when leaving Professor Han Yuanxiao's house, Fang Ziye and Yuan Weihong were sitting in the back seat of a ride-hailing car. Fang Ziye asked Yuan Weihong a question, puzzled.

“Master, I think Professor Han Yuanxiao knows that Professor Deng Yong is deliberately showing weakness, and is using a retreat as a strategy to advance.”

"It seems like many people in the department don't know about this. Even Professor Han's students, Xiong Jinhuan's juniors, feel that Professor Deng is about to lose power and is just one step away from it."

"So you don't take the other members of our group seriously?"

"And I also feel?" Fang Ziye was very puzzled.

If it were targeting people in their own research group, it would be one thing if Han Yuanxiao was the one leading the charge. But since Han Yuanxiao clearly didn't lead the charge, and yet some people are still being opportunistic, that's going a bit too far.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Weihong said, "You don't need to feel that way; this is Professor Han's intention."

"Professor Han is the least senior full professor in the department, with a weak foundation. His students have not experienced much, and their knowledge and experience are not growing."

"Professor Deng is currently engaging in a contest with other disciplines, which will serve as a lesson for them. After experiencing a setback, they will be able to maintain a more stable mindset and remain calm in the future."

Yuan Weihong explained Fang Ziye in this way.

Of course, after explaining, Yuan Weihong did not delve into the matter. Instead, he said, "You will officially take up the position of assistant chief resident on the first of next month. February does not have a 29th this year, so the Lantern Festival will be the exact date when you start your job."

"You should take some time to go back and hand over the reins to your parents soon."

The fact that Valentine's Day falls on February 14th and Chinese New Year's Eve means that March 1st is the Lantern Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

Fang Ziye had to break his promise again; he not only missed spending the Lunar New Year with his family, but he also couldn't go back for the Lantern Festival.

“Yes, Master. I plan to go home on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year and then stay until the end of February.”

"Oh, right, Master, I've already looked at the tender documents that were posted in the group a few days ago. I made a few minor changes using the review mode. I'll post them in the group again later so we can all take a look." Although Fang Ziye was going home, he hadn't forgotten the team's main task for the near future.

Previously, when we were abroad, it was beyond our reach.

Now that we're back in China, regardless of holidays or other occasions, we should still share the responsibilities and tasks that need to be done.

Even if you're made of iron, how many nails can you hammer? In the future, Fang Ziye will still need the support of his master's team to go further and achieve greater success.

"Okay, sure!"

"But if I were you, the thing I'd be most eager to figure out lately is why Jin Hongzhou was demoted from his position as chief resident." Yuan Weihong used this case as a teaching point to guide Fang Ziye.

Fang Ziye smiled and said, "Master, if I'm not mistaken, I should know why Brother Zhou was demoted from his position as chief physician."

"It's really not our fault, it's just that Brother Zhou was careless."

"Of course, the chief resident of the emergency surgery department also bears some responsibility this time."

This time, Jin Hongzhou's demotion from chief resident was both unfair and justified. The main reason was that during an emergency consultation, Jin Hongzhou forgot to write the emergency consultation opinion, and the patient hadn't even completed the admission procedures before passing away, so the electronic medical record couldn't be completed!

Of course, the reason Jin Hongzhou was wronged was that the main reason he didn't write his opinion was that the chief resident of the emergency department had destroyed the patient's medical record book, which already contained consultation opinions from other departments.

Then the patient died.

Good grief, it was like a pot lid being slammed down on you, implying falsified medical records.

To date, the reason why the medical record book was lost has not been explained. However, the surveillance footage from the emergency room shows that the head of the emergency surgery department took the medical record book and did not return it to the patient or the patient's family!

"Of course they bear responsibility, otherwise, why would they all have been removed from their posts?"

"But no matter how responsible the chief resident of another discipline is, they must do their own job well. Even if they are waiting, they must stay on site and leave behind traceable evidence before leaving!"

“If Jin Hongzhou wrote it down before leaving and then lost it, then he bears no responsibility.”

“He left without writing anything down, and then the medical record was lost. The patient was gone, and there was no chance to go back and get it replaced,” Yuan Weihong explained to Fang Ziye.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye asked, "But Master, the other patient at that time had an active hematoma near the femoral artery."

"If Brother Zhou doesn't go, the patient will die. Under such circumstances, does he really have to wait?"

"if not?"

“You can choose not to wait, but the person you saved survived, while the person you thought wouldn’t die died, and now you’re taking the blame!” Yuan Weihong said very bluntly.

"What if something else happens after we wait?" Fang Ziye asked again.

"For these kinds of urgent consultations, it's all about first come, first served," Yuan Weihong said again.

"What else can you do? You can use a clone technique to split yourself in two, right?"

"Otherwise, where do you think the term 'great traitor' came from?"

Having experienced the severe beatings in the hospital, Yuan Weihong could very well understand Jin Hongzhou's frustration.

That's how it is with resident physicians; you have to keep your grievances to yourself. After all, it was your mistake that led to the death of another patient. Why didn't you write down the consultation opinions?

You have to write down your diagnosis after you've made the consultation!

Fang Ziye stopped talking and instead slowly memorized Yuan Weihong's words, carefully considering and savoring them.

When he was a child, Fang Ziye thought life was carefree.

As I grew up, I discovered that life is actually full of sorrows.

When he was a child, Fang Ziye believed that life should be a balance of good and evil.

But now, Fang Ziye discovers that there is no absolute dividing line between good and evil, right and wrong.

However, Fang Ziye also needs to start learning to grow up.

The first lesson of growing up is to face harsh realities head-on...
