Chapter 487 Hospital Evaluation (Please Subscribe)

Fang Ziye was obviously joking. He continued, while Liu Haojiang used a scalpel to cut open the patient's skin, he asked with a smile:
"Teacher Liu, didn't Senior Brother Wu come down with you today? I saw him with you this morning."

As the team's coordination improved, Fang Ziye's own mastery of the surgery also deepened, and he even gained some confidence in the quality of treatment.

Modern functional reconstruction techniques are no longer as rigorous as they were when the procedure was first introduced, and have remained relatively quiet.

The more skilled the team is, the higher the margin for error, and the better the atmosphere in the operating room. Both the circulating nurse and the scrub nurse now have a general understanding of what instruments are needed at each step.

If there are any unforeseen circumstances, then the surgeon will need to give special instructions.

There are also differences in qualifications among scrub nurses in the operating room; a good scrub nurse is no less than a good assistant.

The trauma surgery instrument specialist nurses were specially selected by Professor Du Xinzhan and Professor Deng Yong from the strongest nursing team in the orthopedics department, with the aim of making trauma surgery a benchmark for damage and functional reconstruction.

Professor Du Xinzhan is not stupid. He is a joint surgeon, and it is unrealistic to poach Fang Ziye to the joint surgery department. If he comes to the trauma surgery department to "reap the rewards", it is easy to cause problems.

He was the head of the orthopedics department, and no matter how Fang Ziye developed the trauma surgery department, he would have a reputation for good management, and promotion and salary increases would be a given.

However, as a leader, if any problems arise, Professor Du will be the one to take the blame.

This is the leader's tolerance range for mistakes; it's both wide and narrow.

Given these factors, it would be strange if Professor Du didn't consider providing Fang Ziye's team with a better professional nursing team.

“Wu Xuanqi and Nie Mingxian went out together. They must have some important animal experiments to do. I didn’t ask for details,” Liu Huanglong replied while putting on his sterile surgical gown.

"Ziye, I have already contacted many hospitals in Han City. These hospitals will give priority to referring patients to our hospital if they encounter upper limb injuries."

"But if it endangers the patient's vital signs, they may still choose to amputate in time to save their life. We cannot perform surgery just for the sake of performing surgery."

In the early stages, you need to find the source of such a disease through your own network of contacts.

Only after you've built a good reputation will your peers recommend you.

Just like with lower limb function reconstruction surgery and trauma, any institution familiar with Zhongnan Hospital will directly recommend patients to come here for treatment.

Some hospitals even performed the first stage of temporary hemostasis surgery in their own hospitals before transferring the patients to other hospitals.

This is the trust placed in Zhongnan Hospital, and it is also the foundation laid by Professor Deng Yong, Han Yuanxiao, and others.

Having ability is one thing, having connections is another.

"Thank you, Teacher Liu. It's my pleasure." Fang Ziye nodded with a smile.

Surgery should not be performed for the sake of surgery; life should be the priority.

Save lives first, then treat illnesses.

Liu Huanglong, who was putting on gloves, paused for a moment and said, "If you and Xiao Nie ever actually make that limb-sparing device, I think the entire trauma community in China will be blown to smithereens."

"When I say the field of trauma, I don't just mean trauma surgery."

As a professor and a top expert, Liu Huanglong naturally knew just how powerful and important that miniature blood circulation device was.

Using it in limb transplantation surgery was just an initial idea of ​​Fang Ziye and Nie Mingxian. Could it only be applied to limb transplantation surgery?

Not!
If it's of high quality, it could potentially destroy older, large-scale blood purification machines!
In the future, a large number of hemorrhagic diseases could be saved by this miniature blood circulation device.

If it becomes an essential component of ambulances, then Fang Ziye could ascend to all levels below the highest hall of China simply by relying on this one thing.

What are the titles of Outstanding Young Scientist, Yangtze River Scholar, or Little Yangtze River Scholar? They're not a problem at all...

But reaching the level of academician is impossible.

The concept of this miniature blood circulation device is, after all, a replication of the basic principles of large-scale equipment. Fang Ziye has only optimized it, not created it at all!
"Take it slow, Professor Liu. This is just for the sake of making our team's work more convenient and facilitating standardized treatment of common trauma surgery diseases."

"As for the others, they are not within our consideration for the time being." Fang Ziye was not in a hurry.

You can't rush things; soup simmered over low heat is the most flavorful.

Fang Ziye also wished he could make it overnight, and even thought he had a divine skill that could cure 100% of the patients he encountered.

But this is just wishful thinking; if you can't even do it with a cheat code, then don't bring it into your dreams.

At 11 a.m., as the surgery was nearing its end, Liu Huanglong, the first assistant, went from bowing on the operating table to standing up straight.

The tone was both moving and inspiring:
"This was another high-quality, smooth surgery."

Associate Professor Chen Fang nodded happily: "Professor Liu, the participation rate in the sub-project should be around 30% today. We have made progress compared to last time."

"We will strive to reduce the extent to which subsidiaries can participate to around 20% next time."

As a surgeon, who wouldn't want to be able to do what many others can't?

It is in high demand due to its scarcity.

If you learn this surgery, you can easily earn a million-dollar annual salary or even more by going to places like Kyoto, Shanghai, or Shenzhen.

But at that time, even Chen Fang didn't think about how to make money properly.

"The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves forward, and that's how the front waves all die. Ziye, do you feel this pressure?" Liu Huanglong glanced meaningfully at Fang Ziye and asked.

If Liu Huanglong hadn't made that analogy, Fang Ziye wouldn't have thought of it in that direction.

But now he's making this analogy, and it seems to be like this.

Although my current job title is lower, my technical skills are 'higher'. This feeling of being pushed to the edge step by step by those who come after me is indeed very 'subtle'.

All professionals, both domestically and internationally, fear the feeling of "teaching an apprentice only to starve the master."

Naturally, because of the long learning curve and slow progress in medical technology, this trend is relatively less pronounced.

But at this moment, Fang Ziye did indeed understand the 'feeling' of his masters.

Everything was fine before. He was on the operating table, giving orders and everyone revolved around him.

But gradually, one's sense of participation diminishes, and the irreplaceable nature of one's skills weakens, eventually approaching nothing.

This is not the first time.

Since Nie Mingxian and Lan Tianlu first began to explore conventional treatments for traumatic injuries, Fang Ziye has been performing fewer and fewer procedures. Now, Fang Ziye no longer even needs to perform emergency surgeries related to traumatic injuries.

With the current functional reconstruction technique, Professor Liu Huanglong, along with an associate professor, can easily replicate about 70% of the operation; they're just one step away from perfect execution.

Liu Huanglong can then operate his own stage without relying on Fang Ziye.

Hearing about it and experiencing it firsthand are obviously not the same thing. Fang Ziye glanced indifferently at the remaining procedures on the operating table, and after deciding that there was nothing more to worry about, he slowly stepped back.

While removing her sterile surgical gown, she said, "Teacher Liu, I'm in a dual role now, so I might not feel it as acutely as I would like." "Of course, my feelings are indeed very complicated. I'm happy, but also a little disappointed, and I have a sense of being useless."

Liu Huanglong said, "So, Ziye, you have to hurry up and move forward, climb up the ranks, because you are now the leader of the team, so you must be better than the other team members you are leading."

"Otherwise, if everyone's strength is about the same, you can only rely on your seniority."

"When your abilities are superior to others, and you are still the team leader, you cannot be accused of taking advantage of your seniority."

Liu Huanglong cruelly tore off the hazy raincoat covering Fang Ziye's coat, directly exposing the true nature of the matter.

Brother, once your skills are about to be learned by others, you need to rush ahead and be at the forefront of everyone else. Only then can you still command respect.

Otherwise, you're just taking advantage of your age.

Fang Ziye looked at Liu Huanglong thoughtfully, and Liu Huanglong said cruelly, "Don't look at me like that. This is what learning and doing research and development on your own is like."

"Leading a team of highly qualified people is a mix of joy and pressure."

"For example, Nie Mingxian, Wu Xuanqi, and Lan Tianluo, if you independently develop any new technology, as long as it is a mature technology, they all have the opportunity to master it within three months."

"They can become very proficient in about six months; that's their aptitude."

"And you, doing research and development of these technologies, even need to pour your heart and soul into it for several years or even a decade."

"This is the principle of supply and demand imbalance, and it is also the fundamental reason why many sects will eventually be divided into many smaller sects."

No teacher can keep up with their students' learning pace!

"The essence here is very realistic. Ultimately, it's still about profit, or a variation of profit."

The so-called "profit" simply means that students do things for their mentors, and the mentors only need to provide funding and research directions. In return, the mentors provide students with learning resources and platforms, and there is content to learn.

This is a kind of equivalent exchange hidden under the master-disciple relationship.

Just like Fang Ziye and Yuan Weihong today, such an equivalent exchange no longer exists.

The reason why Fang Ziye and Yuan Weihong still have a good relationship is that Yuan Weihong took a step back first, relegating himself to a secondary position so that Fang Ziye could take the lead.

He wanted to give Fang Ziye a bigger slice of the pie, and he was willing to help Fang Ziye move forward.

Even Professor Deng Yong is the same.

This is still a benefit.

However, the roles were somewhat reversed. Fang Ziye brought fame and fortune to his two masters, and they did things for Fang Ziye, providing him with connections, resources, and relationship management.

"Teacher Liu, please don't say such cruel things."

"Actually, it's better to live a little more confused." Fang Ziye was unwilling to admit that his relationship with Yuan Weihong was a 'comparative exchange' or an 'unequal exchange'.

When I had nothing, my master's kindness was so pure.

"Haha..." Liu Huanglong laughed as he stepped off the stage, gesturing with his chin.
"Want to come with me and light a stick of happiness?"

Fang Ziye shook his head and declined again: "Teacher Liu, I don't want to learn to smoke right now."

"Yes, it's good that you don't smoke."

"But it's a shame not to smoke," Liu Huanglong said before walking away.

He smoked one cigarette around 8 a.m. this morning, and it's almost noon now.

During the surgery, the procedures distracted Liu Huanglong, so he didn't think much of it. But now, he needed to go to a private space and slowly light a cigarette...

Fang Ziye opened his phone to check his missed calls, which were none, but one unread WeChat message stood out.

From Dean Wang.

Fang Ziye quickly clicked to read: "Ziye, you just joined the company this year, and you've already won a provincial-level natural science foundation award. The practical awards our hospital can give you are not quite enough."

"But our institute leaders have unanimously decided to give you the titles of Outstanding Young Staff Member and Outstanding Rising Star in Scientific Research, which is better than nothing."

"You'll have to come and accept the award, and give an acceptance speech."

Dean Wang's words were very polite.

But that is the truth.

Provincial natural science awards are provincial-level awards and offer the most points when evaluating professional titles. However, there is a limit to the number of points awarded for the same type of award.

The small prizes awarded by the hospital do not have much effect on Fangziye.

The problem is, even the hospital can't do anything about it; Fang Ziye's growth rate is too fast.

The hospital is giving Fang Ziye the best, but it's not working for him. So, the hospital can't find him an honorary title that's even more prestigious than a provincial award.

"Dean Wang, you're joking. If there's an award to be won, I'll definitely go." Fang Ziye didn't ask when it would start.

"Thank you for your guidance and mentorship, Dean Wang."

It was already good enough that Dean Wang remembered he was going to win an award, so Fang Ziye didn't ask when the award ceremony would be held.

Fang Ziye can ask him himself. If you ask the dean for the specific time, he will still have to ask someone else.

However, Fang Ziye also thought that he should take some time to visit Dean Wang.

The kindness shown to you by someone is not only their duty, but it is also a form of human kindness and care.

Which chief resident is directly responsible to Dean Wang now? Or, apart from Fang Ziye, which chief resident does Dean Wang directly oversee?

This is the only one in the entire hospital.

No one else dares to boss Fang Ziye around. This is the atmosphere that Dean Wang Xinghuan has created for Fang Ziye, and it is also the fundamental reason why the trauma surgery department is progressing so smoothly.

If Han Yuanxiao wanted to cause trouble, then we simply got rid of him.

Although the investigation was conducted by other people, the decision to move Han Yuanxiao to the hand surgery department was ultimately made by Dean Wang Xinghuan.

Dean Wang did not reply again; he must have been very busy. Fang Ziye did not wait for his reply either.

Instead, he walked back to his office and waited for his lunch delivery, in a great mood...

The awards in the hospital are all honors for excellence. Even a small mosquito bite is still a bonus, though I wonder how much money it's worth.
