top student at medical school

Chapter 503 Live Interview (Please Subscribe!)
Fang Ziye kept referring to "us," not "me."

The main purpose was to bring up Nie Mingxian. Fang Ziye continued, "Senior Brother Nie is the main person in charge of the improvement of our team's micro-circulation instrument. I only participated in the early discussions."

"The process of improving the circulation instrument, the difficulties encountered, and the analysis and statistics of the data were all completed by Senior Brother Nie and one of my junior brothers."

"So, Senior Brother Nie, it's your turn to share with the teachers."

Nie Mingxian, who was sitting to Fang Ziye's left, was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this. Then, seeing that reporter Huang's camera was turning towards him, he immediately said, "Ziye, you're being a bit too modest."

“During our joint improvement process, I only provided the ideas, while you provided the theoretical support and analysis. Every time we encountered a problem, for example, last time we wanted to add a micro pump to the circulator.”

"For example, the improvement of the variable diameter check valve was based on the theoretical guidance you provided. You can't just flatter me because Professor Qiu is here."

"If you're just letting me reap the rewards, then that's no fun at all," Nie Mingxian said bluntly.

Nie Mingxian's meaningful words immediately piqued Qiu Zhenghua's curiosity: "Oh? Little Nie, what do you mean by that?"

Is there anyone else in this team, including me?

Nie Mingxian was slightly embarrassed upon hearing this: "..."

Nie Mingxian thought Qiu Zhenghua still remembered him and recognized him, but he never expected that without Academician Wang as his introducer, Nie Mingxian was nothing.

How long has it been?

Fang Ziye noticed Nie Mingxian's embarrassment and quickly explained, "Professor Qiu, Senior Brother Nie is a PhD in Vascular Surgery at Peking Union Medical College Hospital."

"They are currently very important team members and distinguished guests in our group."

Nie Mingxian has two roles: one is a team member, and the other is a PhD from Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

If Fang Ziye wants to continue working with Nie Mingxian in the same team, he has to face this issue head-on and make Nie Mingxian make a clear choice.

Fang Ziye knew back then that he had strongly recommended Yuan Weihong and actively sought to win over Lan Tianluo. Now that he was dealing with such a formidable person as Nie Mingxian, there was no reason for Fang Ziye to remain indifferent.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhenghua's eyes lit up instantly, as if a petrified statue had been brought to life.

Upon hearing this, Nie Mingxian explained softly again, "Teacher Qiu, we met at the beginning of the year, together with Teacher Wang..."

Gu Yuandong immediately burst into laughter.

With a sudden thought, he interjected, "Alright, alright, enough with the reminiscing. We're not here to talk about feelings today, we're here to discuss business."

Just kidding, if it were possible to poach anyone from this team, Gu Yuandong would definitely have the ability to pack them up and take them all. Nobody could possibly poach a single one of them.

There should be no reminiscing or reminiscing.

Of course, Qiu Zhenghua also took this opportunity to avoid the embarrassment of having seen her before but not recognizing her.

Fang Ziye still gave up his seat: "Senior Brother Nie, why don't you share with the teachers? After all, I'm the chief resident now."

"I've focused more on clinical work, so I'm not very familiar with the process of the research project."

"Our discussions usually involve improvisation."

If you can, you will, if you don't, you won't.

Fang Ziye couldn't even remember all the detailed data of the equipment, and they always discussed things based on a strong foundation in vascular surgery theory.

If Fang Ziye were to share his insights, it would only be empty talk.

Admittedly, this project could not have been completed at Zhongnan Hospital without Fang Ziye, because even the director of vascular surgery might not have had the same level of knowledge as Fang Ziye.

Reaching level 5 in technical skills and reaching level 5 in theory are two different concepts.

This is a truth that Fang Ziye only understands now.

In surgery, practice is more important than theory. Many senior professors' theoretical knowledge hovers around level 4, which is sufficient for most patients.

A truly comprehensive theoretical foundation, perhaps only a very few top professors could achieve, and such a level is extremely rare in the entire clinical medicine industry.

Fang Ziye made this conjecture mainly because he noticed that both Professor Deng Yong and Professor Duan Hong, two renowned professors in trauma surgery, seemed to struggle somewhat in promoting original research.

However, from the perspective of other fields, since the basic theory of trauma surgery reached level 5, it can be found that many of the current theories have imperfections.

It's not a loophole, but a lack of clear understanding.

The number of research topics is overwhelming...

Nie Mingxian stopped dwelling on it and began to explain the entire process of the project, its development, the difficulties encountered, and the solutions everyone worked together to overcome them.

Today, Nie Mingxian is far more confident and speaks fluently than before.

Some interesting anecdotes were also introduced during the process: "I remember one time, because I was only in charge of one group of clinical surgeries, I basically only had one or two surgery days per week."

“The same goes for another member of our team, but Ziye served as the technical advisor for three groups, meaning he was theoretically required to be on stage for every surgery.”

"Then Tianluo and I were stuck on a problem for a few days. We tried to solve it ourselves, but we couldn't think of a solution. After finding Ziye, we solved it successfully."

"Currently, I think Ziye is a well-rounded player. Apart from equipment improvement and data statistics not being outstanding, its basic medical theory, clinical operation, cell-based experiments, and the establishment of animal experimental models are all close to the world's top level!"

Nie Mingxian made no attempt to hide his praise, sharing his understanding of Fang Ziye with everyone.

During Nie Mingxian's sharing, everyone remained silent throughout.

Only after Nie Mingxian finished speaking did Meng Changyi raise the microphone, first smiling and revealing her long, slender neck, as she spoke to Nie Mingxian in very accurate Mandarin:

"Professors, what Director Nie just shared was very professional."

"This is very difficult for us laymen to understand. I wonder if the two professors could translate it into more colloquial language?"

Meng Changyi is on the plump side, with a great waist-to-hip ratio. She looks to be in her late twenties, and wears light makeup, giving her a sophisticated appearance.

Meng Changyi knew that the most valuable interview she had encountered this time was with Fang Ziye's team and the expert group that included the two academicians.

Fang Ziye and Nie Mingxian had previously mentioned that they had met Qiu Zhenghua once, so the senior professors turned their attention to Qiu Zhenghua.

Qiu Zhenghua touched his gray hair. He looked quite like an expert and replied in a serious tone, "If you really want to understand this miniature circulatory device in layman's terms..."

"It can be described as a temporary heart for the limbs, providing temporary blood supply to the severed limbs."

"It has a pump inside, and this pump beats rhythmically like a heart to maintain blood circulation."

"Furthermore, nutrients and medications can be added to the pump to provide nutrition and provide local shock therapy."

"Even blocked blood vessels can be reopened through thrombolysis, without any concern about systemic reperfusion damage..."

"This is a very, very good improvement and invention."

"More importantly, it is a tool that is directly used, not a highly technical operating method."

"How do you understand this? Let me give you an example."

Qiu Zhenghua must have done a lot of interviews, so he easily controlled the pace of the interview.

Moreover, as he spoke, the content he shared seemed to draw people in in a rhythmic and orderly manner.

"For example, ordinary people don't know much about vehicle repair, but they can all drive vehicles."

"It means that you don't need to know how to repair cars or assemble cars. You are given a car and an ordinary person can use it."

Qiu Zhenghua then explained, "Of course, this device is not something that ordinary people can use. Its use is limited to professional orthopedic surgeons."

"Many of our hand surgeons and trauma surgeons, if they had this device, they could easily perform limb-sparing surgeries, which would greatly reduce the amputation rate."

"Ms. Meng, I don't know if you have any knowledge about the living conditions of amputees."

Upon hearing this, Meng Changyi and the reporter Huang next to her immediately turned pale. Meng Changyi nodded and said in a slightly different tone, "Professor Qiu, before we came to Zhongnan Hospital, we visited the Disabled Persons' Federations in Kyoto and Wuhan."

"I know that both hands and feet are extremely important to the human body."

"Professor Qiu, can the data that Director Nie just mentioned indicate that our improvement has been successful and that it is highly likely to be applied in clinical practice in the future?"

"If it's to be applied clinically, which medical professionals would use it?" Meng Changyi asked step by step.

In fact, Qiu Zhenghua has already answered Meng Changyi's question.

However, Meng Changyi is not a professional, and her understanding of specific diseases is certainly not as good as that of Fang Ziye and others.

Qiu Zhenghua did not reply further, but instead gestured for Professor Gu Yuandong to speak.

Gu Yuandong sighed softly and said, "This miniature circulatory device can be widely used for a variety of trauma patients."

"Not just trauma surgeons, but also hand surgeons."

"Almost all experienced hand surgeons, with the help of such instruments, can calmly perform procedures that require time, which can improve the quality of the surgery."

"Based on the data that Xiao Nie just shared, if the microcirculation device can maintain the same data or even slightly less in clinical trials, as long as the difference is within a certain range, it will be a huge success."

"So I'm really looking forward to its early release."

"In fact, I would very much welcome Dr. Fang and Dr. Nie to use Huashan Hospital as one of the first bases for multi-center clinical trials."

"Our team is willing to assist in conducting the first batch of clinical trials!" Gu Yuandong said with a smile.

Meng Changyi smiled and turned to Fang Ziye and Nie Mingxian: "Dr. Fang, Dr. Nie, Professor Gu said he is willing to assist in the first batch of clinical trials. What do you think?" In Meng Changyi's view, the current situation was a classic case of the old being kind to the young and the old being lenient.

Professor Gu Yuandong, as an academician, was willing to participate in the first batch of clinical trials, which shows his respect for the younger generation.

However, Fang Ziye and Nie Mingxian were slightly taken aback at this moment.

I never expected that Professor Gu Yuandong would say such shameless things in front of reporters.

As is widely known, once this miniature circulatory device is released, it will be a trump card for the Department of Hand Surgery at Zhongnan Hospital, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it could boost the overall ranking of the Department of Hand Surgery at Zhongnan Hospital by at least a dozen places.

With Gu Yuandong's interference, if Zhongnan Hospital and Huashan Hospital simultaneously conduct the first batch of clinical trials, then the home advantage of Zhongnan Hospital's hand surgery department will be relatively weaker.

Of course, some thoughts and ideas cannot be made public.

Fang Ziye could only express his gratitude for the senior's guidance: "Of course, I would be honored. Thank you for your kind words, Professor Gu."

Nie Mingxian's lips twitched, but he didn't speak, still wearing a smile, so it was impossible to know what he was thinking.

Next door, Liu Huanglong started feigning a cold. He kept humming and coughing to clear his throat, venting his frustration.

Professor Gu Yuandong is certainly Liu Huanglong's idol, but idols are not meant to be worshipped on a pedestal; rather, they are a goal to strive for.

Professor Gu Yuandong's actions are truly somewhat unkind.

Perhaps Professor Gu Yuandong also felt a little embarrassed, because after hearing Fang Ziye agree, he added, "If the first batch is inconvenient, the second batch is also possible."

Fang Ziye's quick agreement made it difficult for Gu Yuandong to save face in front of the group of senior professors.

While Huashan Hospital certainly wants to remain a leader in hand surgery, it shouldn't be too shameless.

They completely undermined the home advantage of other teams.

You should know that when Huashan Hospital created some original surgical techniques, it did not give up the first batch of clinical trial sites to other units before conducting clinical trials at Huashan Hospital.

This is the home advantage.

It's not entirely selfishness.

After Gu Yuandong took the initiative to back down, Meng Changyi realized the sensitivity of the topic and smiled, saying, "Actually, the first and second batches of clinical trials are the same."

"We're all hoping this miniature circulatory device will be available sooner, right?"

"Oh, by the way, professors, I just heard you say that your original intention in coming to Zhongnan Hospital was not for this miniature circulatory device, but for something else."

"Being able to discover and witness the existence of the micro-circulatory device is a pleasant surprise."

"Could you please tell us more about these two original surgical techniques: cataract surgery and functional reconstruction surgery?" Meng Changyi brought the topic back.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuandong said, "Reporter Meng, you've asked the wrong person. The original author of these two techniques is right in front of you, Dr. Fang Ziye."

"Instead of asking us to explain, you should ask him. He can not only explain the uses of these two procedures, but he can even demonstrate a few surgeries for you."

“We never encountered this kind of surgery when we were young. Now that we are older, it is definitely difficult for us to go back to clinical practice to learn it.”

"Old age is not a matter of physical weakness..."

Meng Changyi then pointed the microphone and camera in the direction where Fang Ziye was.

Fang Ziye organized his thoughts, glanced at his master Yuan Weihong who was silently cheering him on, and then at Luo Tingzhu and Lan Tianluo who had come to watch the excitement.

She then looked at Liu Huanglong, who was encouraging her.

He slowly began to speak: "Regarding the treatment of devastation, it all started when I was in En City. Back then, I was just a junior doctor with very weak skills..."

"But at that time, I saw many patients with severe injuries who were in great pain after choosing amputation."

"Some people are the pillars of their families, some have children who are still in swaddling clothes, and some children are no more than ten years old."

"Destructive injuries are considered external injuries, which are accidental and mostly occur in car accidents. They do not discriminate based on age..."

“From that moment on, I actually planted a seed in my heart to perform limb-sparing surgery for limb damage. Later, I was fortunate to work with several experts in the province, such as Professor Duan Hong from Tongji Hospital and Professor Qi Qiaowen from Union Hospital.”

"And there's my mentor, Professor Deng Yong. We collaborated on a limb-sparing surgery for severe injuries, and that's how this seed grew deeper and deeper..."

"But later, we discovered that after limb salvage surgery, the patient's limb only existed but had no function. Fortunately, Professor Liu Huanglong is very skilled in neurotherapy, so our team collaborated to develop a functional reconstruction technique..."

After Fang Ziye laid out all the background information, Meng Changyi listened with rapt attention.

So a narration was set in motion: "Although Dr. Fang put it simply, the development and improvement of these surgeries were the result of his long-term summarization and deliberation, which led to the success we see today."

"The hardships involved in this process can probably only be truly understood by Dr. Fang's team."

"During the exchange between Dr. Fang and several professors, we also learned that currently, the number of hospitals nationwide that can perform limb-sparing surgery for severe injuries has increased from one to four."

"These include Zhongnan Hospital, Tongji Hospital, Union Hospital, and Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital."

"However, currently only Zhongnan Hospital performs functional reconstruction surgery. We hope that more medical professionals will be able to perform these two procedures skillfully, bringing more benefits to emergency trauma patients in our country."

"Next, with the consent of Dr. Fang and his team, as well as the consent of the expert group organized by Professor Gu and Professor Qiu, we will go to the operating room with the two teams tomorrow to see the difficulty and charm of the two different surgical procedures at the operating table."

"At that time, a team of professors and experts will provide explanations throughout the entire process. Let's wait and see..."

"Here, we also need to insert a clip from one of our previous interviews, where we were at the Disabled Persons' Federation..." This was Meng Changyi's background narration during an interview.

This is the magic of interviews. After the interview program airs, it can interweave many images of the damage scene, as well as various videos and interviews about registering with the Disabled Persons' Federation after the amputation.

That will be even more impactful.

After Meng Changyi finished speaking, she asked, "Dr. Fang, would it be convenient for us to visit a department in the hospital?"

"I believe our audience is very concerned about the condition of some of the postoperative patients in our ward, and perhaps they are also curious about what these patients were like before the operation."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye first glanced at Liu Huanglong, and only after seeing Liu Huanglong nod in agreement did he say, "Reporter Meng, according to our hospital's regulations, if you want to conduct interviews in the wards, you need to consult and communicate with our hospital's publicity department and the president's office."

"Furthermore, in order to respect and protect privacy, we need to enter the ward in advance to communicate with the patient's family members."

"This is a procedure that we medical workers must follow."

“Even when we conduct academic exchanges such as case sharing, we will communicate with the patients in advance. If the patients and their families do not agree to the presentation of case content, it is inconvenient for us to use their intraoperative and postoperative photos.”

Interviews are certainly possible, as they would provide a more comprehensive view of these patients' conditions before, during, and after surgery, and even months later. Meng Changyi and the reporter can visit the outpatient clinic.

However, all of this must first be done in accordance with laws and regulations.

Because some patients do not want their unhealthy condition to be made public or broadcast in interviews.

"Dr. Fang, of course. We will communicate with your hospital's publicity department in advance, and the interview will not be held today."

"Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow."

"Dr. Fang, as you know, we have too few members today, and the hospital is a rather special department, so it's not convenient to bother you too much. Therefore, I will communicate with some colleagues stationed in Wuhan, and we can set up more locations together for filming and interviews."

"Minimize the movement of equipment to more realistically present the most authentic state of the department."

"Moreover, the reason I came here this time is actually to conduct an exclusive interview with Professor Liao..." Meng Changyi's professional skills and character are both excellent.

They haven't forgotten their original purpose for coming here.

Liao Jia wanted to say, "Big sister, you finally remembered me?"
However, Liao Jia felt a little apprehensive at this moment and said, "Reporter Meng, I think there is really no need for me to continue this interview, compared to Dr. Fang and his team."

"My current achievements are really nothing to brag about."

Upon hearing this, Meng Changyi shook her head: "Professor Liao, your direction is different from Dr. Fang's."

"Your main focus is on developing animal experimental models, while Dr. Fang's research focuses on clinical applications."

“Animal testing models can reduce costs for medical professionals in learning surgical techniques and drug trials, and provide more test subjects before conducting clinical trials.”

"This is also very meaningful."

"As Dr. Fang just said, if it weren't for Professor Liao, their animal model of destruction would have been delayed by at least two or three months."

Liao Jia gave an awkward smile upon hearing this.

There was no rebuttal.

Immediately afterwards, Liao Jia, Meng Changyi, and others left the animal laboratory, bringing this brief interview to a temporary close.

Later, Meng Changyi's colleagues may come to collect some additional footage, but that's another story. This interview with Meng Changyi will definitely be of great help in promoting the clinical research of Zhongnan Hospital.

However, after Meng Changyi and the others left, Professor Qiu Zhenghua said, "Now that Reporter Meng and the others have left, we can finally close the door and talk about our profession."

"Dr. Fang, you're not in a rush right now, are you?"

Qiu Zhenghua and Gu Yuandong didn't come to see Fang Ziye show off.

The expert panel was formed to review the technology!
Zu Haiguo represents the National Health Commission. He was brought in by the Science and Technology Development Department of Wuhan University, just to cheer for Fang Ziye.
Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye quickly shook his head: "No rush, Teacher Qiu."

Even if you're anxious at this point, you can only say don't worry!
