Chapter 337 Great people are in the details (First update, please subscribe)
It was 12:40 PM. In a duty room in the emergency department.

The aroma of snail rice noodles wafted out as Chen Hongxing opened the box, and Li Wenzhao, who had just stepped off the stage, immediately frowned: "Brother Hongxing, do you have some kind of peculiar hobby?"

"Every time you have surgery, you have to show off a bowl of snail rice noodles? Do you want to eat it on the operating table?" Li Wenzhao, from Shashi, Hunan Province, often refers to eating noodles as "slurping noodles" and eating rice as "showing off a bowl of rice."

The word "炫" (xuàn) is not actually a reminder that Chen Hongxing wants to eat snail rice noodles, but rather something related to rice and excrement.

"Go away, what do you know? Luosifen (snail rice noodles) is a delicious treat, a taste of childhood."

"A bowl of rice in the morning, and another bowl after surgery—life is worth it!" Chen Hongxing picked up two pickled bamboo shoots and crunched them in his mouth.

Fang Ziye remained silent, then kicked Xiong Jinhuan while holding his roast meat rice. Xiong Jinhuan understood and also picked up his lunchbox.

He said, "Let's eat in the hallway."

Seeing this, Chen Hongxing simply sighed, picked up the powder box, and said, "I'm too lazy to talk to you vulgar people."

"Fine, what's poison to you is medicine to me. I'll go out and take it myself."

Chen Hongxing knew that the snail rice noodles he was eating had a strong flavor, and few people who weren't from his hometown could truly get used to it.

Since both Fang Ziye and Xiong Jinhuan wanted to move aside, Chen Hongxing simply gave up his spot first.

After Chen Hongxing left, there was still a lingering smell in the duty room, but it was still much better than having the hot powder box in the room before.

Li Wenzhao opened all the windows, then slammed the lunchbox shut. "Sigh, I wonder if Hongxing is addicted to snail rice noodles. He has to do this every time."

"Brother Ye, it's only because you're here this time. If it were just him and me here, Hongxing would never have gone out to avoid it."

Fang Ziye also closed the lid of the roast meat rice and waited for the smell to dissipate!
When Fang Ziye went to Shashi last time, he thought the stinky tofu there was magical enough. He didn't expect that the smell of stinky tofu would be nothing compared to the smell of snail rice noodles.

"It's a matter of personal taste. Everyone does have their own hometown flavor, and only that flavor can activate the instinctive gene lock."

"Brother Zhao, you're from Shashi. You can eat stinky tofu, but you can't eat snail rice noodles?" Fang Ziye asked curiously.

Li Wenzhao had fair skin, a long neck, and a muscular physique reminiscent of a fitness enthusiast, making him very attractive. He pushed up his glasses and said noncommittally, "Can this snail rice noodle soup compare to stinky tofu?"

"Stinky tofu smells bad but tastes delicious, especially when I was a child. Back then, stinky tofu was sold from pushcarts. The stinky tofu was fried in oil and served with a bowl of spicy soup..." Li Wenzhao began to reminisce.

Fang Ziye felt that he might have chosen the wrong topic.

However, Li Wenzhao quickly realized that Fang Ziye's original intention was not to discuss stinky tofu and snail rice noodles, so he said, "Let's not talk about this anymore, Brother Ye, I'm just curious to ask."

"I haven't seen Xuehua and Qin from the trauma surgery department for a long time. Did you make them lose their jobs as soon as you became the chief resident, Ziye?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye frowned slightly: "Brother Zhao, you know Teacher Nie Xuehua?"

Qin Geluo, who had previously served as the chief resident, was someone Li Wenzhao was acquainted with, which is perfectly normal. But why was Li Wenzhao also acquainted with Nie Xuehua?
Logically speaking, Nie Xuehua was at least three years ahead of Li Wenzhao as chief resident.

Fang Ziye was not particularly familiar with Nie Xuehua, the attending physician in Professor Dong Yaohui's group. He would address her as Brother Nie or Brother Hua in person, but in private, he would call her Teacher Nie.

I only ask that I don't mispronounce it, and that I be respectful and attentive.

The smell in the break room gradually dissipated. Li Wenzhao's lips twitched slightly as he continued eating, unsure of what to say.

But Xiong Jinhuan, who was following Fang Ziye, provided the answer to this question: "Brother Ye, when Brother Jin Hongzhou was the chief resident, he often called Nie Xuehua and Zhang Zixi 'teachers,' and only occasionally called Qin Geluo and Brother Li Nuo 'brother.'"

“I overheard Professor Nie and Professor Zhang discussing in the department that Ye Ge, you are much younger than Li Nuo and Jin Hongzhou when you become the chief resident. I guess their phones will be ringing off the hook when the time comes.”

"Back then, Teacher Nie and Teacher Zhang even said that forcing growth is ultimately not the right way!" Xiong Jinhuan honestly betrayed his superiors.

Nie Xuehua is a senior attending physician working in Professor Dong Yaohui's group, and her seniority as an attending physician is even greater than that of Zhang Zixi, who works under Professor Han Yuanxiao.

In the department, inpatients are always on the emergency shift, several attending physicians are on the front-line shift, associate professors are on the second-line shift, and professors are on the third-line consultation shift.

The first-line shift handles emergency surgeries that the resident team cannot resolve, while the second-line shift handles emergency problems that the first-line team cannot resolve.

The third-tier consultation classes taught by professors mostly involve participating in hospital-wide consultations and discussions, or the most urgent emergency surgeries that can save lives.

In such critical emergencies, instead of directly calling the general ward to delay, the medical affairs department will directly call various specialist consultation teams at least at the associate professor level or above.

When Li Wenzhao heard Xiong Jinhuan say this, he scratched the back of his ear and said, "If Brother Zixi and Brother Xuehua were here and heard you complaining like this, they would definitely beat you up."

Xiong Jinhuan explained, "Brother Zhao, that's different. A local official is more powerful than a distant one." "Brother Ye was my elder brother before, and he still is."

"A teacher is a teacher, and a brother is a brother. You can never be too respectful to a teacher, but between brothers, you'd go to great lengths for each other!" Xiong Jinhuan even made a slightly exaggerated gesture.

Seeing Xiong Jinhuan like this, Fang Ziye could only sigh. People grow up, and Xiong Jinhuan has a very strong learning ability. Now she has taken this kind of flattery to the extreme.

"Holy crap, awesome!" Li Wenzhao was impressed by Xiong Jinhuan's abilities and gave him a thumbs up, instantly feeling that this young man had a promising future.

If someone can be so shameless, eloquent, and capable, what major problems could they possibly have in their future?
"Your orthopedics department is truly full of talented people."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye shoveled down two mouthfuls of rice, chewed them quickly, and swallowed them, trying not to waste any time: "Brother Zhao, can I take this as you making a sweeping generalization?"

Li Wenzhao quickly shook his head, his face full of fear: "No, brother, we were just joking, there's no need to take it to the level of generalization."

If Fang Ziye took a joke between chief residents to the departmental level, Li Wenzhao feared he would be in deep trouble. Fang Ziye had only recently become chief resident, and Li Wenzhao hadn't fully grasped his temperament, so he dared not be careless.

"Just kidding, Brother Zhao."

"This is Xiong Jinhuan, my classmate. We get along very well..." Fang Ziye introduced Xiong Jinhuan to Li Wenzhao.

According to Professor Han Yuanxiao's plan, Xiong Jinhuan has a high chance of staying in the hospital. Moreover, given Xiong Jinhuan's current rate of progress, the chances of her breaking through the entire orthopedic specialty and securing a place in the hospital are not small.

……

After lunch, Xiong Jinhuan invited Fang Ziye to the practice room to give him some pointers on manual repositioning techniques.

"Jinhuan, do you think it's a bit unconventional of me to rarely trouble my superiors? Will I be seen as arrogant and conceited?" Fang Ziye asked Xiong Jinhuan.

To be honest, no one explained such a detailed issue as Fang Ziye's case at the beginning.

Even his own teacher, Yuan Weihong, probably didn't expect that Fang Ziye would not call anyone during his hospital stay.

In trauma surgery emergency procedures, if there's serious damage, amputation is the solution. For ordinary open fractures, Fang Ziye is highly skilled in external fixation with fracture bracing.

As for simpler procedures like debridement and suturing, why would we need to call a superior?
In truly life-threatening emergencies, a hospital-wide consultation is held, and professors are called in.

For a condition like destructive injury, even calling Professor Deng Yong alone wouldn't help. Fang Ziye certainly doesn't have the ability to call Professor Duan Hong from Tongji Hospital at the same time. Currently, the only option is to perform amputation as a routine treatment.

Upon hearing this, Xiong Jinhuan quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, Brother Ye!"

"Actually, Brother Zixi talked to us about you. In the end, his personal conclusion was that you'd better not call him, because if you do, the result will be that you all have to wait to call a higher-level person."

"So, Zixi, Xuehua, Qin Geluo, and even your teacher Wei all agree that if you want to call a superior, Ye, you might as well just call Associate Professor Peng Long directly."

"Otherwise, even if we call them over, they'll just be left staring blankly, which will only make things more awkward."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye seemed to be deep in thought.

Fearing that Fang Ziye wouldn't believe her, Xiong Jinhuan added, "It's true, Brother Ye. I still remember Brother Wei using a particularly vivid analogy."

"That's right, when Jie Han is on duty and there are patients he can't handle, he calls Lan Tianluo over to help..."

Jie Han is Lan Tianluo's senior brother and Fang Ziye's junior brother. Fang Ziye naturally knows this. Now, judging solely from professional operational skills, Jie Han is slightly better than Lan Tianluo overall.

As Xiong Jinhuan spoke, she added, "Brother Ye, have you noticed? Actually, your teacher, Brother Wei, is now the most awesome one among the attending physicians!"

"Although Professor Nie Xuehua is more senior than Brother Wei, Brother Wei's level is actually higher than Professor Nie Xuehua's in terms of both professional ability and research ability."

"If it weren't for the fact that Brother Wei's promotion was temporarily postponed for a year last year due to Lan Tianlu's enrollment issues, Brother Wei would have been promoted to associate chief physician last year, instead of Teacher Nie Xuehua being promoted to associate chief physician."

Nie Xuehua has passed the exam for the title of associate chief physician, but the hospital and department have not yet hired her. It is estimated that the hiring procedures will be completed in April or May.

At that time, Nie Xuehua will no longer be in the first-tier class, but in the second-tier class, which is equivalent to a senior professional.

"Okay, let's go practice some manual repositioning techniques." After figuring this out, Fang Ziye felt that his choice was right.

Not calling for help isn't because I'm arrogant, but because I genuinely know how to handle common emergency cases. If I can't handle something, I'm helpless. Even if I called my teacher, it would only embarrass him.

However, Fang Ziye gradually realized that what he took for granted seemed rather arrogant to outsiders...
