Chapter 45 Not Arrogance (Please add to your favorites and read on)

The surgery was a success, and Yuan Weihong's technique was very skillful. Otherwise, how could Zhongnan Hospital have allowed him to practice medicine outside the hospital? Professor Deng Yong would not have allowed Yuan Weihong to go out and embarrass himself or risk his life.

However, Fang Ziye had a lot of fun during this surgery.

First, there was the nonunion of the bone caused by infection. During the thorough debridement process, Yuan Weihong saw that Fang Ziye's debridement skills had reached a certain level, so he asked Fang Ziye to take over.

Although the doctors at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital felt somewhat awkward, they didn't say much out of respect for Yuan Weihong. However, as soon as Fang Ziye began his procedure, he was recognized, with people saying that Fang Ziye had definitely spent time in a training room and had even completed a period of seclusion.

People from Beiqu Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital also need to go out for further training. There are only a few best options, such as training in Wuhan.

I've been to several hospitals, including Central South University, Hubei Provincial People's Hospital, and the affiliated hospitals of Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Each of these hospitals has a training room, and I've been to all of them. So I know that Fang Ziye's debridement technique must have been practiced on tofu.

Then, Yuan Weihong also let Fang Ziye play with the fixation of the external fixation bracket.

I also worked on suturing the periosteum.

The core principle of bone transport is that the bone shaft needs to be cut during bone transport, but the integrity of the periosteum must be preserved. When the bone is pulled, the periosteum is stretched along with it. The periosteum is stimulated by tension, and the osteoblasts on the periosteum proliferate to form new bone.

Clinically, a traction strategy of 1 mm/day is generally adopted. This ensures that the periosteum is not torn by the traction force, while also preventing premature ossification due to excessively slow traction. As the bone is pulled, the newly formed periosteum grows longer and longer until the traction ends.

The key operation was naturally Yuan Weihong, but Fang Ziye, who was on the fringes, was clearly already quite skilled. Although he wasn't as good as the attending physician there, he wasn't much worse.

After all, these top-level specialists are only a few years out of their master's degree programs.

If Fang Ziye hadn't reached a certain level of proficiency, then the standards of that training room would be far too low, and he wouldn't dare to use it for practice or to motivate others.
Moreover, if Fang Ziye had graduated, he would have been promoted to chief physician within one or two years. If he hadn't encountered a stat-boosting panel, it would probably have taken him several years to reach his current level.

Therefore, Fang Ziye can gain as many as 13.1 knowledge points from a single surgery!

This gave Fang Ziye a sudden impulse: why don't we just give up on pursuing a doctorate and go straight to a prefecture-level city hospital, perform surgeries every day, and collect skill points every day?

However, Fang Ziye quickly suppressed his emotions.

The treasure trove isn't just the operating room, outpatient clinic, and laboratory, especially the laboratory. If you happen to discover something new that no one else has ever done before, otherwise it can't be called something new. Give yourself a hundred or two knowledge points.

Wouldn't that be great?
I still have to pursue a doctorate; I can't act impulsively, or I'll make myself so angry I'll crook my nose.

……

Back at the hospital, Fang Ziye naturally rushed to the laboratory to observe his cells and begin culturing the overexpressing cell line, as it grows quickly and the culturing time needs to be shortened.

Fang Ziye finished his cell experiments and sorted out all the equipment at 4:50 p.m.

As she left, Luo Tingzhu was still munching on her bread when she entered the laboratory. She gave Fang Ziye a sweet smile as she entered and exited, and then quickly went to her workstation. It was estimated that she was about to begin a long period of laboratory experiments; otherwise, she would probably be in the practice room at this time.

An eight-year program, a girl with exceptional talent and striking beauty, forced into this state of mental strain—it's something only medicine could pull off.

There must have been many temptations surrounding Luo Tingzhu, and Fang Ziye was definitely not the only one who would be attracted to her beauty. Moreover, anyone richer than Fang Ziye could easily be one of them, but Luo Tingzhu did not choose that path...

However, Fang Ziye himself was also in a precarious situation.

Even with his current achievements, Fang Ziye hasn't even come close to meeting the criteria for hospitalization.

When I graduate, I'll likely have to compete with top students like Luo Tingzhu, who are known for their rigorous exam preparation, as well as another high-achieving student from the seven-year undergraduate-master's program at Peking Union Medical College, who has already been essentially chosen by Professor Deng Yong. It'll be a tough situation for me to navigate.

Fang Ziye could only go to the practice room and deliver a drink to Jin Hongzhou, the chief resident of the department, hoping that Jin Hongzhou would call more often when he was on surgical shifts so he could get some surgical opportunities and learn some knowledge.

It's Monday again!

It was another workday. Fang Ziye, with a sullen face, groggily got out of bed, stretched, and walked towards the washbasin.

Looking in the mirror, I thought that if I were a girl, I would definitely marry myself. After admiring myself for a while, I noticed that my stubble had started to grow back a little, so I quickly shaved it off.

Then came brushing my teeth and washing up, while simultaneously throwing out the pork I'd brought home yesterday, along with the materials I'd secretly used for practice.

"Senior Brother Fang." Fang Ziye ran into an acquaintance, Shu Lang, when he went out to throw away the trash.

Shu Lang is Professor Deng Yong's master's student, currently in his second year. He is Li Yuanpei's direct junior and will soon be Fang Ziye's direct junior, since Fang Ziye will become Professor Deng Yong's doctoral student in the future.

"Shu Lang, what are you doing?" Fang Ziye asked, seeing that Shu Lang was also carrying the same bag of trash as him.

"The pork is from the same stall as yours, senior brother."

"By the way, senior brother, I know a place where pork is cheaper, but you have to order a large quantity at once. They only deliver if you order ten catties at a time. Do you think we can split the order?" Shu Lang replied unexpectedly.

Fang Ziye understood; Shu Lang was learning from him and practicing his techniques with pork.

"Really? Is there something wrong with the pork?"

"It's definitely no problem, it's just that the pork wasn't slaughtered that day, it's meat from the day before. Senior Brother Fang! Anyway, if we're not going to eat it, and it's just for practice, it's fine." Shu Lang said.

"Alright then, let's order one and see." Shu Lang's words made sense. It was just practice anyway. If it was cheap and not rotten or diseased, it didn't matter. After all, it would just stay in the refrigerator for one night anyway.

"By the way, Shulang, do you know where Yuanpei has been lately? I haven't seen him in the department these past few days," Fang Ziye asked.

"Huh? Didn't Senior Brother Yuanpei go to Shanghai Jiaotong University to take the unified English exam for doctoral students? Senior Brother Fang, you? Oh." Before Shu Lang could finish speaking, he understood that Fang Ziye no longer planned to travel and therefore didn't care about these things.

Fang Ziye quickly stopped talking to avoid being suspected of being involved in a Versailles-like situation.

You've secured your position, but those who have to take the exam are still busy, testing the waters everywhere, and perhaps even running into obstacles. There's no need to laugh at them.

"Shu Lang, you should be starting your thesis soon, right?" Fang Ziye asked.

Master's students typically have a thesis proposal defense in their second year of master's studies. This is a thesis proposal that you submit to demonstrate how you will graduate. You need to create a design that is cross-reviewed by many professors in the same department to see if you can meet the graduation requirements.

Fang Ziye had gone through this stage before, and naturally, he has now completed his project.

It's usually the second semester of the second year of a master's program.

"It'll be ready soon, and we're already preparing. Senior Brother Fang, would you like to offer your critique?" Shu Lang quickly seized the opportunity to speak.

“Okay, I’ll learn from it.” Fang Ziye nodded in reply.
