Chapter 468 The First Remote Consultation Surgery (Please Subscribe)
"Hello, Dr. Fang."

"Dr. Fang." During the lunch break after the first surgery, Fang Ziye encountered many unfamiliar faces who greeted him as he walked along.

Fang Ziye had no idea where the other party came from, so he could only nod and smile awkwardly.

Regardless of who it was, everyone politely replied with "Hello, teacher."

Yan Zhiming, who went to dinner with Fang Ziye, looked on with envy: "Ziye, your current fame is comparable to that of a professor. Most associate professors probably never encounter such a scene."

Fang Ziye was also unclear about the specific reason. Fortunately, when he went from the operating room to the changing room and then to the meal room, he ran into an acquaintance.

Xiao Lan, formerly a circulating nurse in the trauma surgery department, has now transferred to the hand surgery department of the second orthopedic ward, where she continues to assist Professor Deng Yong in trauma surgery.

Today's specialized equipment and circulating nurse teams for trauma surgery are a blend of hand surgery and trauma surgery.

Fang Ziye said goodbye to Yan Zhiming before walking towards Xiao Lan: "Sister Xiao Lan, what exactly happened today?"

Xiao Lan was a little younger than Fang Ziye, so Fang Ziye addressed her as Sister Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan looked around before whispering, "Dr. Fang, you don't know this, but it was your teacher, Teacher Yuan, who made you famous."

“In the past few days…” Xiao Lan explained the whole story to Fang Ziye.

Fang Ziye's face instantly stiffened.

The master is still the same master, and Yuan Weihong is still the same Yuan Weihong. The current Yuan Weihong has stopped being a free spirit and has started to be a free spirit towards his students.

According to Xiao Lan, Yuan Weihong said he was very tired. His students were all very demanding, and he had to review their articles one by one, leaving him no time to rest.

In terms of professional skills, Fang Ziye, this unfilial disciple, showed no respect whatsoever, completely leading his master by the nose.

It is said that Yuan Weihong almost got beaten up after saying this during a multidisciplinary emergency surgery, but fortunately, he had his own 'public relations strategy', which saved him from a beating.

Fang Ziye greatly admired one thing about his teacher, Yuan Weihong: if you give him sunshine, he can shine; if you give him color, he becomes the dye shop himself.

The idea of ​​being low-key or not being high-profile is simply not true.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaolan. Let's have dinner together sometime." Although Fang Ziye was inwardly speechless, he remained polite on the surface.

Black and red is also a type of red.

Xiao Lan said, "Okay, okay, I'll make a date with Xiao Luo then."

Xiao Lan is one year older than Luo Tingzhu, and Luo Tingzhu had some interactions with Xiao Lan when they were in the trauma surgery operating room before, so their relationship can be described as not being distant.

……

After understanding the truth, when Fang Ziye explained it to Yan Zhiming, Yan Zhiming's expression froze, and he almost choked.

After finally calming down the discomfort in his throat, he said, "Ziye, it's only because of you few that you can keep Brother Wei in check. If it were another student, given Brother Wei's style of doing things..."

"It's been criticized so much that not even bones are left."

Yuan Weihong may be arrogant, but that's because he's outstanding among people of the same age. Even if others want to criticize him, they have to consider Yuan Weihong's own achievements.

He may be a bit arrogant, but he gets things done without any problems.

Making careless remarks won't lead to a criminal conviction.

There are many people who dislike Yuan Weihong, but there aren't many people his age who can beat him, and even if there are, they wouldn't say they want to confront him head-on.

"That's just my master's temperament; he didn't actually mean any harm."

"By the way, senior, how's your clinical experience going? Is there a chance to make a push next year?"

"The people applying to our institute next year will probably be quite fierce," Fang Ziye changed the subject.

Yan Zhiming's expression froze again, a half-smile playing on his lips, his tone weak: "Me? I'm easygoing, I'm a Buddhist type."

Yan Zhiming had no choice. In terms of scientific research experience, if he continued to work in the research group, he wouldn't be worse than others, and might even be slightly better.

However, when facing a highly skilled and professional doctor like Wang Yuanqi, Yan Zhiming is at a disadvantage, not an advantage.

Therefore, Yan Zhiming only occasionally thought about staying in the hospital.

Yan Zhiming continued, "I estimate that even Senior Brother Dong will have to change his direction and stay at the hospital's laboratory to work."

Dong Wenqiang was supposed to graduate this year, but because of Fang Ziye's presence and his mentor Deng Yong's favoritism towards Wang Yuanqi, he decided to postpone his graduation by one year.

Fang Ziye pursed his lips upon hearing this: "Actually, looking back from this perspective now?"

"Forget it, it's all in the past, there's no point in talking about it anymore."

Dong Wenqiang is my senior, but it's a normal decision for me to graduate early. There's no need for me to skip graduating early just to make way for him.

Seniority-based promotion is a form of courtesy, but clinical work emphasizes fundamental competence.

We've spared you several years of accumulation, but you haven't accumulated anything at all, so what right do you have to complain?
Upon hearing this, Yan Zhiming stopped dwelling on the matter to avoid upsetting Fang Ziye.

After finishing their meal, the two headed back towards the operating room.

On his way back, Fang Ziye was still greeted by strangers who kept calling him Ziye, Dr. Fang, and Brother Ye.

Among them, apart from the vascular surgeons whom Fang Ziye knew, he genuinely didn't recognize most of the others.

"Good good."

"I'm going to take this call." Fang Ziye nodded as he took out his ringing cell phone.

Upon looking up, Fang Ziye's heart skipped a beat.

Zheng Haidong from the Sixth Hospital of Shanghai.

These seven words are not just an ordinary phone call; they require a careful response. The process of interacting with him should be as cautious as that with Professor Duan Hong.

This is a sign of respect for one's predecessors.

"Senior Brother Yan, you go back to the operating room first, I'm going to take this call." Fang Ziye turned and walked to a corner.

He immediately answered the phone and said warmly, "Hello, Teacher Zheng, this is Fang Ziye from Zhongnan Hospital."

Fang Ziye was afraid that the other party had dialed the wrong number.

"Hello Ziye, I hope I haven't disturbed your work?" Zheng Haidong's tone was rather formal and deep.

“No, Professor Zheng, I just got back from lunch and am on my way to the operating room,” Fang Ziye said.

"Into the operating room? Today is your team's surgery day, Dr. Fang?" Zheng Haidong's reply was somewhat surprised and hesitant, but he immediately said, "Dr. Fang, we currently have a very suitable patient with severe trauma."

"We just picked them up from the scene and they were going to be taken to our hospital's emergency department by ambulance. They can be put to work in about two hours."

"So if you have time, Dr. Fang, we'd like to invite you to come and demonstrate a trauma surgery for us..."

"I just don't know if Dr. Fang can spare the time," Professor Zheng Haidong said very politely.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Professor Zheng, it's a weekday now, so the situation is rather special."

"If it's a non-working day, I can think of a way."

Fang Ziye essentially refused outright, but left room for maneuver.

On weekdays, all work should prioritize the hospital's work and surgeries.

Performing consultation surgery on a weekday raises questions about one's character.

You can't even do your job well, yet you're thinking about doing other things?
"Yes, indeed, Dr. Fang, we didn't consider that. In that case, Dr. Fang, please continue with your work."

"If the opportunity arises in the future, we will cooperate again."

"I will also be searching for relevant cases. Recently, I have received many calls asking if our hospital can perform the same surgical procedures as Dr. Fang and you," Professor Zheng Haidong said politely.

Consultations and surgeries performed on non-working days are considered a favor if they come, and it's their duty if they don't.

Consultations and surgeries performed during working hours are considered absences from duty.

"I'm sorry, Professor Zheng, our department has a lot of surgeries scheduled on weekdays, so I can't get away for the time being."

"We'll keep in touch later." Fang Ziye politely declined Zheng Haidong's suggestion, but offered a way out.

Going to the Sixth People's Hospital of Shanghai for consultation and surgery can greatly enhance one's reputation and even quickly elevate one's status in the medical field.

The reputation of the Sixth People's Hospital of Shanghai in orthopedics is incomparable to that of Tongji Hospital and Zhongnan Hospital.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Ziye returned to the operating room immediately.

No one else knew what Fang Ziye had refused, and Fang Ziye had not yet brought it up.

The surgery could continue!

Fang Ziye showed no emotional fluctuations during the surgery.

Only after the surgery was over did Fang Ziye review the quality of the surgery again before approaching Yuan Weihong alone and asking him about Professor Zheng Haidong's phone call to him.

Yuan Weihong paused, unable to put his phone in his pocket for a moment, his right hand trembling slightly: "Really, Zhenzhen called to ask you to come?"

"I thought Professor Zheng was just being polite."

The orthopedics department of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital undoubtedly represents the pinnacle of comprehensive orthopedic strength in China.

Whether it's top hospitals like Jishuitan Hospital, Kyoto Third Hospital, Huashan Hospital, or Zhongshan Hospital, it's undeniable that in the field of orthopedics, Shanghai Sixth Hospital is in the same tier as them.

In contrast, the orthopedic departments of Tongji Hospital and West China Hospital are only top-tier nationwide.

Zhongnan Hospital is probably only second- or third-rate.

In fact, Yuan Weihong, Deng Yong, and others believed that Professor Zheng Haidong and the others were just being polite, and that once they obtained the relevant theories, they would definitely be self-sufficient.

Instead of asking a specialist from Zhongnan Hospital to conduct a consultation and demonstration surgery, we should develop our own treatment methods for damage-related injuries.

There has never been such a thing before!

"That's what Professor Zheng said on the phone, but since it's a workday today, I declined," Fang Ziye said.

Today's patient is not under Lan Tianluo's direct jurisdiction, so there is no need to send the patient back to the department. He has already come up to us without us noticing.

Hearing this, he clicked his tongue slightly and said, "Senior brother, today is Friday." Medical knowledge requires continuous improvement; mere aptitude is unlikely to lead to incredible achievements overnight.

It's not like math.

However, it is already an incredible thing that Fang Ziye, at his age, was invited by the Sixth People's Hospital of Shanghai to conduct a consultation and surgery.

Then Fang Ziye rejected it.

Although the refusal was reasonable and justifiable, what was Fang Ziye's choice?

Even Lan Tianluo felt it was a bit "hard".

Fang Ziye nodded and said, "Today is indeed Friday, and the weekend is coming up, but Professor Zheng didn't say anything."

"Moreover, Master, I personally feel that no matter what time it is, I cannot leave my post until the scheduled surgery is completed."

Fang Ziye himself received a traditional education that instilled in him a certain awareness of rules.

What if something goes wrong in my operating room after I leave and it remains unresolved?
Even if I perform the surgery at another hospital perfectly, my department will still face problems.

Unless it's a special emergency or a transfer by a leader, Fang Ziye would definitely not leave his post.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Weihong said, "I think Professor Zheng will call you again later. You should go and find Professor Deng Yong and Professor Liu Huanglong."

"He has a lot of experience with these kinds of consultations at other hospitals."

"At the very least, you should make a phone call."

"You need to pay attention to certain details when consulting with a higher-level hospital for surgery, and you must be fully courteous," Yuan Weihong urged.

Fang Ziye thought for a moment and then nodded.

Consultation surgery is not just about performing a surgery; it is also a process of showcasing the comprehensive strength of a department and a team.

Furthermore, during this period, it may be necessary to clarify with the other party whether you were working as an assistant or as the lead surgeon. If you were working as the lead surgeon, you will need the other party to help you complete the registration for designated practice of knife throwing.

Designated practice locations are a basic regulation in medicine, and it is advisable to consider all aspects as much as possible unless absolutely necessary.

Such behavior of casually showing off in front of others is very likely to backfire.

"Master, I want to bring Tianluo with me." Fang Ziye asked Yuan Weihong for his opinion, and at the same time looked at Lan Tianluo, asking Lan Tianluo for his opinion.

Lan Tianlu nodded excitedly.

Yuan Weihong thought about it carefully for a moment before putting his phone in his pocket and nodding in agreement.

"It would be most suitable for you to bring a junior colleague. When you go out for consultations or surgeries, you must bring a suitable and capable assistant to minimize the chances of having a backup assistant in case the assistant from another hospital is not used to it."

"I won't say much more, go and ask Professor Liu and Professor Deng..." Yuan Weihong didn't offer Fang Ziye any advice beyond his own abilities and perspectives.

"Okay, Master."

"Then Tianluo and I will be leaving now." Fang Ziye nodded and quickly left.

Yuan Weihong looked at Fang Ziye and Lan Tianluo from behind, feeling a mix of emotions.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the assistants he brought on trips for consultations and surgeries were juniors, he would have liked to go with Fang Ziye to "broaden his horizons".

While broadening my own horizons, I also want to broaden the horizons of my colleagues in the Department of Foreign Languages.

At this time, Professor Deng Yong and Liu Huanglong both went home.

Fang Ziye chose to call Professor Liu Huanglong first and ask him a few questions.

Liu Huanglong only emphasized a few key points: "Ziye, in this kind of matter, you must first be mindful of your own etiquette. Secondly, don't get hung up on the other party's details and manners."

"Thirdly, don't be domineering. As for other details, I can't give you too much advice because I don't have similar experience myself."

Who among ordinary people would suggest consulting with a higher-level hospital for surgery?
Should county hospitals help city-level hospitals resolve their problems and difficulties?
Is it ridiculous for a municipal hospital to ask a top-tier hospital directly under the National Health Commission to solve its problems?
"Thank you, Teacher Liu. I will pay attention to these details," Fang Ziye said with a smile.

"Yes, the decision made by the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Shanghai this time has shattered one of my perceptions."

"They broke with convention by doing something that Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Tongji University had been holding back for so long."

"Pretending to be high and mighty is a living hell, that's exactly the point," Liu Huanglong complained before hanging up the phone.

Speak with facts.

Fang Ziye has been leading the surgery team for more than three months, almost four months.

However, neither Tongji nor Xiehe Hospital could bring themselves to ask Fang Ziye to perform a consultation and teaching surgery at their respective hospitals.

But the Sixth Hospital of Shanghai, having only known Fang Ziye for a short time, treated him with respect and courtesy!
They invited a skilled surgeon to perform the operation, and although her face looked terrible, she ate her fill.

……

Fang Ziye then went directly to Professor Deng Yong's home.

Fang Ziye and Lan Tianluo each carried a bag of fruit; instead of fruit baskets, they used more economical plastic bags.

It may not look very nice, but it's affordable.

Professor Deng Yong pulled Fang Ziye directly into his study and said as soon as he left, "Ziye, after you leave here, call Professor Zheng immediately and tell him that you have stepped down from the stage, but you are still paying attention to Professor Zheng's invitation."

"Just wondering, is it still possible to go to Shanghai now?"

“That’s very important.”

"Because Professor Zheng is a benefactor who can help you. If you can befriend him, your future will be smoother!"

Fang Ziye nodded upon hearing this, while Lan Tianluo seemed lost in thought and did not respond.

Deng Yong tilted his head and said, "While hard skills are the essential ability, a certain degree of personal connections can allow your abilities to be fully utilized!"

Deng Yong only explained once, without caring whether Lan Tianlu could understand, and then said the second sentence: "Don't stay any longer. After the surgery, unless it's too late, you should try to get back as soon as possible."

"Don't intentionally cause trouble for others."

"Third, make sure you know exactly what the consultation fees and travel expenses are for your level, including the travel expenses for both you and Lan Tianluo. As long as the other party can make up for it."

"Fourth, never leave the patient's sight! Do not leave the operating table before the patient has left it!"

"This is very important: you should not leave the operating table before the patient has left it."

"Did you remember?" Deng Yong asked.

Fang Ziye narrowed his eyes and asked, "Master, why?"

"Because others will think they are experts, and they will disassemble some of your operations and re-analyze them, resulting in a different version."

"If the patient leaves the operating room and then they go back up to start a new surgery, that's a new surgery and has nothing to do with you."

"Therefore, you must try to keep a low profile and never be careless. These are lessons learned from the blood and tears of our predecessors." Deng Yong spoke earnestly, his tone formal and his eyes sincere.

His eyes were darting around, clearly trying to scavenge some memory, hoping to hand over more to Fang Ziye.

"Oh, right, one more thing. If you go there, they might talk to you about money and breach of contract fees."

"I advise you not to be easily fooled," Deng Yong reminded him again.

A talent like Fang Ziye is someone that outsiders would definitely want to poach.

The reason why no one in Hubei Province dared to make such a move was because Deng Yong had suppressed it here.

If Duan Hong doesn't make a move, how dare anyone else? How dare you! You poach people right in front of me? Are you that arrogant?
Duan Hong was too embarrassed to make a move. Deng Yong had only encountered such a talented person after so many years. If Duan Hong were to intervene, not only would they lose their friendship, but Duan Hong would also be directly at odds with Deng Yong from now on.

This is equivalent to stealing something from someone's mouth, or stealing a wife from their marital home...

Having said everything Deng Yong needed to say, Fang Ziye bid farewell to Deng Yong and got off the elevator in the apartment building.

Lan Tianlu tilted his head and scratched the back of his head, saying, "Senior brother, we're going there for a consultation on surgery, but it's like we're the ones receiving them."

Is it really necessary?

"Tianluo is a result of the asymmetry in resources. Moreover, communication between different units is like communicating with your relatives."

“You can be more casual with your own siblings, but you definitely have to be more polite with outsiders, right?” Fang Ziye gave Lan Tianlu an example.

Lan Tianlu shook his head immediately: "It seems a bit counterproductive."

Looking at Lan Tianluo's buzz cut, Fang Ziye really wanted to slap him!

However, in Lan Tianluo's view, it was indeed a bit the opposite.

"What about the people in and outside the group? How do you treat them?" Fang Ziye cautiously asked Lan Tianluo again.

Lan Tianlu thought about it seriously: "I'm polite to people internally, but I always strike hard against outsiders. We don't rely on each other for a living, so why should I be polite to him?"

"Goodbye!" Fang Ziye and Lan Tianluo couldn't get through to each other.

Of course, Professor Deng Yong's suggestion immediately earned Fang Ziye an even more enthusiastic response from Professor Zheng Haidong.

“Dr. Fang, that’s great. We have patients here whenever you have time. I just need to see if it’s convenient for you.”

"Dr. Fang, if you come over, I'll contact the medical records right away. I was originally planning to invite you tomorrow."

"Dr. Fang, could you rest for another night? You can do one more surgery tomorrow before leaving?" Professor Zheng Haidong's enthusiasm made it seem as if Fang Ziye was his brother or friend.

If Fang Ziye hadn't asked Deng Yong and Liu Huanglong, he might have genuinely fallen into their trap, but Fang Ziye was prepared in advance.

"Professor Zheng, it's too late to rest for one night. I already made plans with other teachers at home, so I really don't have time."

"I'm sorry, Professor Zheng," Fang Ziye fabricated a reason that the other party couldn't refuse.

Fang Ziye has other places besides the Sixth Hospital of Shanghai that can perform consultation surgeries; it's just that Fang Ziye is unwilling to go out for consultation surgeries.

"Is that so? That's such a pity."

"Dr. Fang, please come over first. After you buy your plane ticket, just send me a message and I will send a car to pick you up. Then we can have dinner first, and then we can slowly carry out the surgery."

"No rush..." Professor Zheng Haidong said with a smile.
