Chapter 290 The New Official Takes Office (Please Subscribe)

When Fang Ziye arrived in Han City, no one came to pick him up or drop him off.

Perhaps it was just bad timing, but Fang Ziye arrived at the exact time when Luo Tingzhu was still busy in the laboratory, so Fang Ziye had no choice but to rush back on his own.

The high-speed train from Ba County to Han City not only stops at the high-speed rail station, but also at the train station.

The subway goes directly to Zhongnan Hospital Station!
When Fang Ziye arrived at his rented room in the old-style residential area after exiting the station, Luo Tingzhu was rushing back, jogging all the way.

Seeing this, Fang Ziye, who had already stepped onto the stairs, took two steps back.

Luo Tingzhu stopped jogging when she saw Fang Ziye, and from a distance, she took off her mask with her gloved hands and smiled at Fang Ziye.

The two then went upstairs together and started chatting.

After exchanging their usual greetings, the two immediately decided to go out to find something to eat.

The chosen location was a Western restaurant near Han Street, where I planned to have another steak.

After all, the two of them often ate steak when they were abroad.

They soon arrived at a restaurant. Fang Ziye ordered a Wellington, while Luo Tingzhu ordered an 8oz Wagyu beef, a pork roll, and a fruit salad.

Then came the long wait.

"Won't Master be removed from his position as the group leader professor?" Although Fang Ziye already had the answer in his heart, he still hoped that Luo Tingzhu would find out more valuable information in the near future.

Luo Tingzhu took a sip of water first: "The professor will not resign from his position as the group leader professor."

"In our large team, the teacher who is truly suitable for scientific research is Professor Yuan Weihong, not Professor Deng Yong. Professor Deng is very clear about this."

"To get the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars or even further to become a Yangtze River Scholar, you must be good at something yourself, not something your team is good at. Otherwise, when you give a presentation, you might expose your shortcomings, and it will be even more embarrassing."

"It's just that Professor Deng needs to make this kind of show so that the whole team and the hospital can believe that the whole team is on this side, which will be more conducive to Professor Yuan Weihong's future progress."

"Professor Deng Yong will still be responsible for the core clinical work."

When Luo Tingzhu got to this point, she looked around before saying, "Besides, among all the senior professionals in the department, Professor Dong Yaohui is already old and not suitable for high-intensity work."

"Professor Han Yuanxiao was promoted to senior professional title not long ago, and his understanding of many new techniques is not yet thorough or in-depth enough. He still needs guidance from his teacher from time to time."

"Unless the hospital wants to abandon trauma surgery, a fundamental discipline within orthopedics, teachers cannot be demoted."

Luo Tingzhu did indeed find out more objective information about the situation, situations that most people wouldn't consider in detail.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye smiled憨厚ly and said, "I thought Professor Han's surgeries were as good as Professor Deng Yong's."

Han Yuanxiao is a full professor, a chief physician, and a senior professional. Fang Ziye never doubted the competence of a full professor.

Let alone a full professor, even an associate professor or senior attending physician, Fang Ziye wouldn't dare doubt his abilities. It could only be speculation.

Upon hearing this, Luo Tingzhu immediately understood Fang Ziye's meaning, and then gossiped, "Senior brother, you know what, right now, it seems like as long as someone is promoted to senior rank, they're invincible."

"There is no objective standard for what he can do, what he can't do, what he is good at and what he is not good at. It seems that it is assumed that a senior professional title, such as chief physician or professor, should be able to do everything and be omnipotent."

"However, in reality, everyone should have their own strengths."

"Experts have also noticed this issue and are trying to find a solution, but the impact of this matter is far-reaching and it is not easy to implement it directly."

"It's like during the professional title evaluation. If you have good professional skills, you can provide all the video materials of some difficult surgical procedures to the national surgical quality review platform, which can be compared with high-quality articles."

After Luo Tingzhu finished speaking, she took another sip of water, as if she were made of water. After drinking the water, she even cutely used her tongue to trace around her lips.

Seeing that the waiter wasn't around, Fang Ziye proactively refilled Luo Tingzhu's glass and asked, "How are we going to solve this?"

"Some people just coast along with their professional titles and hold nominal positions."

"Unless we can find a way to standardize the abilities of many people, it will be impossible to solve this problem."

Fang Ziye felt that Luo Tingzhu's suggestion to find a solution was highly unreliable.

Currently, the division of a professor's area of ​​expertise is based on their subspecialty.

For example, a professor of trauma surgery is more proficient in trauma surgery, and a surgeon specializing in joint surgery is more skilled in joint surgery.

However, there is no specific evaluation model for Professor A and Professor B in trauma surgery to determine who is better at pelvic reconstruction and who has an advantage in treating traumatic injuries.

It seems to be an implicit assumption that a professor of trauma surgery must be highly proficient in all surgical procedures in trauma surgery, unless he actively says that he is not good at a certain procedure and then recommends that you go elsewhere.

In that case, it's hard to say for sure what others might think, even those in the same industry. And if they are colleagues, it's even harder to say because of face-saving considerations.

"but?"

“I heard from my teacher that our hospital seems to be heading down a path of minor reforms.”

"Our orthopedics department currently has five departments, three offices, and two centers."

"The administrative director of a specialty, the director of a laboratory, and the head of a research center can no longer hold these positions concurrently. A system of separating clinical supervisors from research supervisors must be implemented."

"The five subspecialties are easy to understand. The three laboratories and two centers are three laboratories, one bone tumor research center, and one bone material research center."

"First of all, Professor Du Xinzhan will set an example by giving up his position as the head of the Bone Materials Research Center and becoming the second-in-command, while giving the position of research director to a younger person."

"Then, Professor Du, who specializes in bone tumors, also voluntarily stepped down from his position as the head of the subspecialty and went to the bone tumor research center to become the director of the research center. He no longer oversees clinical practice but only leads clinical teams."

"Associate Professor Zeng Duoqin will take over as the head of the bone tumor department." Luo Tingzhu paused slightly after saying this.

Fang Ziye was quite taken aback when he heard this: "Professor Zeng, he's only an associate professor, and he's taking over the position of director of the bone tumor department? Doesn't Professor Hu have any objections?"

The bone tumor specialty is actually very similar to the trauma surgery department in terms of its group structure, which consists of three groups.

The administrative director is Professor Du, the former director is Professor Xiao, and another professor is Professor Hu.

Furthermore, Fang Ziye also knew that in Professor Du's group, the current administrative director, there was another senior professional who worked under Professor Du.

This department, equivalent to a bone tumor specialist clinic, had four full professors. However, things have changed drastically; these full professors are no longer the administrative directors, but rather associate professors have become the administrative directors of the department?
Shouldn't we check if there's anyone with the surname Zeng in the dean's office or the provincial party committee?

Moreover, this kind of thing has happened before. Professor Du, for example, went to the provincial cancer hospital after failing to compete for the position of administrative director, which led to the excellent development of the bone tumor department of Hubei Provincial Cancer Hospital, which now ranks seventh in the province.

"I don't know about that for now."

"Anyway, this is the information that has been released so far. Associate Professor Zeng Duoqin will soon take over as the administrative director of the bone tumor subspecialty."

"Senior, you should also notice that Associate Professor Zeng Duoqin is only thirty-seven years old. He has been in the position of associate professor for more than four years, and it will soon be his fifth year. He is expected to be promoted to professor at the age of thirty-eight."

Fang Ziye's expression froze upon hearing this. Being able to be promoted to associate professor at the age of thirty-three was already quite extraordinary.

Research output in the bone tumor specialty is relatively easier to achieve compared to other specialties. The fact that Professor Zeng could be promoted to full professor at the age of thirty-eight demonstrates that his talent and ability are exceptionally outstanding.

Of course, thinking about it this way, Professor Liu Huanglong is truly amazing.

He comes from a hand surgery background, which is the most difficult field for scientific research output. He is only one year older than Yuan Weihong and is currently only thirty-six years old. He already has a senior professional title and received the title of Excellent Young Scientist early on. I guess he is now preparing to compete for the title of Outstanding Young Scientist.

"So Professor Hu and Professor Ning voluntarily stepped down?"

"What a generous confidant!" Fang Ziye sighed inwardly upon hearing this.

Putting everything else aside, if Professor Zeng is indeed very capable, and Professors Hu and Ning are willing to refrain from competing and give their positions to more suitable individuals, then...

That kind of ambition, and the level of harmony within this specialty, is enough to propel the bone tumor subspecialty into the top three in the next few years, surpassing even one or several other sister departments!
"There are also rumors that Professor Liu Huanglong of the Hand Surgery Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital may be poached to serve as the administrative director of the Hand Surgery Department."

"Zhongnan Hospital plans to rejuvenate the administrative directors of all subspecialties. The heads of laboratories and research centers will become more specialized."

"Because, if nothing unexpected happens, Professor Yuan Weihong will also be promoted to head of a laboratory, and Professor Deng Yong will hold the position of deputy director of the laboratory, sharing the responsibility with Professor Yuan Weihong." Luo Tingzhu told Fang Ziye what she had found out!

If the news of Associate Professor Zeng Duoqin becoming the administrative director was a bombshell, then the news that Professor Liu Huanglong, who left Zhongnan Hospital, might return to the position was a nuclear bomb.

"Professor Liu, is it possible to dig it back?"

"Is this for real?" Fang Ziye's voice and expression changed, and he began to knead the flesh with both hands.

"However, many people think that if Associate Professor Zeng Duoqin can become the administrative director, then Professor Liu can also become the administrative director of the hand surgery department."

"And in this position, among the four major hospitals in Wuhan, only Zhongnan Hospital dares to have such courage."

“Other hospitals, whether it’s Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Tongji Hospital, or even the Provincial People’s Hospital, wouldn’t dare to take such a risk and treat a group of established and well-known professors as supporting roles,” Luo Tingzhu analyzed.

Of course, after Luo Tingzhu finished speaking, she added, "These words were all told to me by Senior Brother Wang Yuanqi, not my own analysis or guesses."

"That?"

"Is this the only plan for our orthopedics department, or is it the same for all subspecialties at Zhongnan Hospital?" Fang Ziye didn't care who came up with the analysis.

Fang Ziye just wanted to know who came up with the idea of ​​making the director younger.

"Professor Du Xinzhan's proposal seems to have been agreed upon by some senior professors, and he also persuaded many professors in the department."

"Furthermore, Professor Du Xinzhan will step down from his position as chief director next year, but there is no suitable conclusion yet regarding who will succeed him."

……

While the two were still chatting and eating melon seeds, the steak finally arrived.

If something is right in front of you, you'll naturally stop eating melon seeds.

Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu shared their steaks with each other, and then they complained together about what was wrong with this steak restaurant.

The taste wasn't good, and the black pepper sauce didn't seem authentic.

In China, only Chinese cuisine is suitable; most Western food is an anomaly.

This is a formal conclusion reached by Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu.

As they walked back hand in hand, Luo Tingzhu asked, "Senior brother, tomorrow is the day you become the chief resident and also the primary chief resident. Are you nervous?"

"Starting tomorrow, it'll be working day and night!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye smiled wryly and said, "What can we do?"

"If you want to work on a platform like Central South University, the chief resident is an insurmountable obstacle."

"It's not too bad to be tired, at least we have a whole bunch of attending resident doctors helping us out, right?"

"For example, from now on, I'll entrust the task of reviewing and verifying medical records to you, as well as Xiong Jinhuan and Yuan Pei. How could I possibly have any reservations?"

Fang Ziye felt that the biggest advantage of being promoted to chief resident early was that he had very trustworthy acquaintances who could be recruited as volunteers.

Li Yuanpei and Xiong Jinhuan were practically classmates who had been recruited by him, and they were even the chief resident assistants.

Since you don't need to worry about reviewing medical records, the position of chief resident will be relatively easier!
Luo Tingzhu smiled upon hearing this, knowing she would certainly not refuse to help.

Seeing that Fang Ziye's attitude was relatively good, she also had more expectations for the future.

Because regardless of whether she still wanted to stay in the trauma surgery department, Fang Ziye had already voluntarily given up his position, and there was no direct competition between them.

Luo Tingzhu felt that this was Fang Ziye's thoughtfulness and care.

The two walked home without saying anything more.

Soon, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which was March 1st.

That noon, Fang Ziye, who had just received the old-fashioned mobile phone from the chief resident, made his first move upon taking office by cooking a hot pot meal.

We didn't invite too many people, just gathered all the PhDs in the department together, and it cost a total of over two thousand yuan to make sure they were all full...
