Chapter 334 The True Doctor Emerges from Seclusion (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
"Master?" Deng Yong's words left Fang Ziye slightly confused, not quite understanding their meaning.

Seeing Fang Ziye's expression, Deng Yong explained, "That's right, there's an operation coming up next, so you can show your fellow students the requirements for completing the doctoral training room."

“I’ve done the research, and it should include a series of procedures such as bone defect repair, osteoplasty, and bone flap design, which will allow you to have more freedom to perform these procedures.”

“No one from our department has come out of seclusion for several years. The last one was Li Nuo, but that was three or four years ago,” Deng Yong said.

Fang Ziye then understood. It meant that Fang Ziye happened to be a graduate of trauma surgery, and that he had completed his academic studies in the field of scientific research after his thesis defense the day before yesterday.

However, if you want to graduate from a specialized college or department and stay at the hospital, there is actually a requirement to complete a training session.

It's been a long time since a trauma surgeon has come out of seclusion to practice, and there's no one to celebrate with.

Similarly, Professor Deng Yong was also helping Fang Ziye establish his authority within the group!
Fang Ziye's academic achievements are documented in his articles, which are verifiable. You can search for Fang Ziye's name and affiliated university in SCI databases.

However, in people's stereotypes, Fang Ziye's skill level is still that of someone who has just graduated with a master's degree and is only doing small-scale training in a practice room.

Looking back now, the master's program wasn't actually that difficult. Trauma surgery mainly involves suturing, incision, debridement, and hemostasis, and the difficulty level isn't particularly high.

Fang Ziye vaguely remembered that as long as the tofu was sewn up properly, the cutting technique should be able to cut the tofu into an octahedral pyramid shape with distinct layers.

The debridement technique requires the ability to carve three-dimensional simplified Chinese characters on tofu, while the hemostasis technique requires the ability to quickly pinpoint and capture the bleeding point of a blood vessel, repeating this process forty times at a single point within twenty seconds, with a standard completion rate of more than thirty-six times.

The reason I remember them so vividly is that their standards were a shortcut for Fang Ziye to obtain his doctoral degree, and they were Fang Ziye's "benefactors".

"Master, since we're going to perform, would you like me to perform a little more?"

"I won't go too far. I'll just meet the common exit requirements for hand surgery and trauma surgery, and do each one. It'll also give my teacher and fellow students a good laugh."

"As a student, or as a senior or junior, I should have drunk myself into a stupor at yesterday's teacher appreciation banquet. However, due to my current duties, I cannot drink to express my gratitude for a long time."

"It's hard to express our sincerity with tea instead of wine, so why not use a performance instead of wine to toast Master and the other fellow disciples?" Fang Ziye took the initiative to increase the difficulty of the 'game'.

Medicine is not a performance art, but in medicine, one can strive to maximize their proficiency in a single procedure.

"You're going to go this far?"

"Please don't cause me any more trouble!" Professor Deng Yong's lips twitched.

Deng Yong thought to himself, "If I hadn't explained some things to you before, you wouldn't know how much trouble you caused me when you went to the hand surgery training room back then."

The hand surgery professor had a lot of arguments with me trying to get you accepted, and now you're doing the same thing, demonstrating the exit standards for both hand surgery and trauma surgery.

Of course, Professor Deng Yong had suffered similar hardships, but his fellow students didn't know. Apart from Qin Geluo and Yuan Weihong, everyone else was egging him on.

Even Luo Tingzhu was full of fighting spirit, raising her little paw and saying, "I just checked, the exit criteria for hand surgery and trauma surgery are different..."

"For example, in suturing, hand surgery requires that the standard for reconnection of severed tail arteries exceed 80%, which Senior Brother Fang had already achieved. Therefore, we in trauma surgery do not need to perform the suture technique."

"But, but, debridement..."

"Trauma surgery also requires muscle suturing, bone setting, manual reduction of fractures, bone defect repair techniques, osteoplasty, and bone flap design..."

"The requirements for hand surgery are nerve suturing, tendon suturing, and..." A group of people started talking all at once.

Soon, someone summarized what could be done in the operating room today, and what could only be done in the practice room.

"Senior brother, what you'll be doing later is suturing, osteotomy, bone flap design, and osteotomy..."

“Okay!” Fang Ziye nodded.

Because of Fang Ziye's agreement and participation, the atmosphere in the operating room immediately improved, becoming as lively as if it were Chinese New Year.

The patient was so frightened that he thought he had wandered onto the wrong movie set and pulled out the tubes and ran away.

After patiently reassuring some of his fellow apprentices and carefully explaining the relevant matters to the patient, he finally began the proper surgery!
Actually, looking back at the standards for a PhD to pass the exam today, the difficulty wasn't high; it was only level 3 with 400/500 proficiency, which is less than level 4.

Fang Ziye's skills are now mostly at level 4.

Therefore, by openly demonstrating the formula in clinical practice, it can be considered as giving these fellow practitioners an opportunity to objectively showcase the formula's capabilities.

Faced with absolute and objective strength, one has no choice but to admit defeat.

Even when Fang Ziye was demonstrating his basic skills, which were also at level 4 proficiency, his master Yuan Weihong and Qin Geluo frowned.

If basic medical skills are the mainstream and task at the doctoral and master's levels, then the basic surgical procedures of these professional operations, such as osteotomy, osteoplasty, and bone transport, which are more advanced but not absolutely advanced, are the basic skills that attending physicians like them need to practice.

Being able to perform these surgeries is one aspect, but being good at them and highly skilled is another matter entirely.

Fang Ziye had never been to a second training room before, and unexpectedly, he had already started to rebel in these areas. "Brother Wei, how are we supposed to go to the training room from now on?" Qin Geluo's face and expression were extremely frustrated.

Previously, Fang Ziye had never demonstrated true professional operational skills. Qin Geluo assumed that Fang Ziye had not yet learned, or had only just begun learning, and had not yet reached this stage.

Yuan Weihong, however, had long since come to terms with it. Knowing that Fang Ziye was incredibly fast, he advised, "Ge Luo, do you think it's possible that Ziye didn't even need to go to the training room we're in, and just ran straight ahead?"

"With so many skills he has now, Ziye can handle both complex bone defects and simple osteotomy and correction procedures."

"As for treating simple fractures, surgeries like bone transport are a piece of cake for him!"

Yuan Weihong is Fang Ziye's mentor, so he has a lot of authority to say these things.

Seeing Yuan Weihong so composed, Qin Geluo couldn't help but admire him; he was truly a remarkable person, and his ability to adjust his mindset so quickly was worthy of the title "One Leaf of the North Sea."

"Not bad, keep up the good work!"

"At this rate, you should be able to reach the level of an associate senior official in another year or two."

"When the time comes, what a sight it will be like to see 29- or 30-year-old associate senior surgeons performing surgical demonstrations!"

"In another four or five years, he can be promoted to full professor. At the very least, he can become famous at a young age like Liu Huanglong, a hand surgeon at Peking Union Medical College Hospital."

Deng Yong deliberately found a contrasting example for Fang Ziye.

Oh no, it's that Fang Ziye is finally being used as a foil to highlight this top-tier professor.

Fang Ziye's operation at this moment was very casual. His level 4 proficiency was enough to break through the level required for the doctor to leave the pass, and he could do it at will without any deliberate preparation.

While operating the machine, she asked curiously, "Master, didn't I hear that Professor Liu Huanglong would be coming to our hospital to mentor our department? Why haven't we heard anything about it lately?"

"The terms haven't been agreed upon yet!"

"Professor Du mentioned this matter during a meeting a few days ago, saying that he wanted to invite Professor Liu over. This time, the hospital needs to be bold enough to do it."

"Otherwise, it would be very difficult to invite them." Deng Yong shook his head slightly.

"Why, Professor Deng?" Even Yuan Weihong wanted to hear this, and asked while using a negative pressure suction device to remove blood from the surgical incision.

"Professor Liu wants to establish a dedicated finger replantation center, separating it from the hand surgery department!" Deng Yong said.

One sentence completely stunned Yuan Weihong.

Yuan Weihong is only one year younger than Liu Huanglong, and he hasn't even managed to lead a team, let alone a department.

I was finally able to secure a position as an Outstanding Young Scientist and was about to become an associate professor, which made me quite happy. But compared to Professor Liu Huanglong, who just received the "honorary" title of Outstanding Young Scientist this year, I felt completely insignificant.

A professor in his early thirties, a "Distinguished Young Scholar," is guaranteed to become a Yangtze River Scholar, and a nomination for academician is not surprising. It's even possible that he could successfully enter the prestigious hall of academician.

Professor Liu has quite an appetite.

I don't want to lead a team, and I don't want to compete with the senior director for leadership positions. How about I get a separate specialty department for myself, where I'll only focus on finger replantation?

If Yuan Weihong or even Deng Yong had made such a request, the answer they would have received would definitely have been "get lost!"

However, if the hospital can really bring Liu Huanglong to Zhongnan Hospital, then the ranking of hand surgery and orthopedics in Hubei Province will inevitably change!
After Professor Deng Yong finished speaking, no one brought up the topic again.

Deng Yong then took the initiative to retract his statement, saying, "Let's not talk about others. Come on, everyone, take a look. Xiao Fang's actions are so effortless, it doesn't seem like he's putting all his effort into breaking through the barrier."

"If last year's Xiao Fang winning the top prize for young physicians was partly due to luck, this year's Xiao Fang absolutely had it in the bag and did it with ease."

"Senior Brother Fang, are there any special techniques when practicing?" Finally, a junior brother couldn't wait any longer and asked.

His mouth was full of saliva, which made him extremely envious, and he couldn't stop smiling.

"Yes and no, it's just about enduring." Fang Ziye turned his head slightly and looked at the junior brother who was speaking. He found that this junior brother looked somewhat like himself back then.

"Yes, I've heard that before. Senior Brother Fang is very diligent. I thought he had some special techniques." Junior Brother Liu Haihua said slightly embarrassedly, scratching the corner of his mouth with his right thumb.

Then, watching as Fang Ziye very easily completed the requirements for doctoral exit that many doctoral students could not achieve.

For example, there's Wang Yuanqi, a recent PhD graduate; Gu Yi; and Dong Wenqiang, who voluntarily extended his studies.

They tried their best, but they still couldn't get through.

Fang Ziye was able to arrive easily; that's the difference...
