top student at medical school

Chapter 506 Documentary and Monsters (Please Subscribe)

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye gritted his teeth: "Master, do you know anything about Professor Zhou Yuan and the others?"

“What I mean is, your assessment of their academic and professional achievements.”

Fang Ziye asked.

After leaving the animal laboratory, Fang Ziye calmed down and carefully considered everything that had happened that day. Fang Ziye still felt that Professor Zu Haiguo's visit was not simply about letting the two senior academicians see him.

Of course, there are some things that Zu Haiguo cannot say too bluntly!
There were six people who came this time. After returning, Fang Ziye carefully reviewed the detailed resumes of each of them.

Zhou Yuan from Kyoto Third Hospital, Huang Guoqing from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Long Leshan from Kyoto Hospital, and Professor Tian Lin from Huashan Hospital.

The academic and professional achievements of these four individuals are remarkably similar to those of Professors Gu Yuandong and Qiu Zhenghua!
This was not a joke by Fang Ziye, nor was it a deliberate attempt to belittle the two professors and elevate the other senior professors.

That's the truth!

They were roughly contemporaries, but in the end, Professor Gu and Professor Qiu were promoted, while the other four remained renowned professors until retirement!
Some truths require careful consideration to fully grasp.

The other four professors all have impressive backgrounds, and the hospitals they work for are nationally renowned.

Huashan Hospital, where Professor Gu Yuandong and Tian Lin both came from.

Peking Union Medical College Hospital, where Professors Qiu Zhenghua and Zhou Yuan both came from.

It's definitely not because the company isn't supportive or helpful enough.

Which of the Kyoto Third Hospital or the Kyoto First Hospital has not had an academician?

After figuring this out, Fang Ziye guessed that what Zu Haiguo wanted to tell him was that if you want to climb to the top, you must be cautious at every step and first make sure you are morally impeccable.

Otherwise, once you step down from your platform, many opportunities will be out of your reach!
Of course, Fang Ziye also found some gossip about the old professors, which circulated in some corners of the internet.

The most common rumor is about Professor Qiu, claiming that he is unworthy of his reputation and that he got his position through connections.

But Fang Ziye thought, is it possible that Professor Qiu just happened to not have any problems detected that year, so he was able to become a candidate?
Of course, Fang Ziye is not denying the research achievements of any of the senior professors!

They were all very accomplished. The current status of trauma surgery in China is inseparable from the hard work and dedication of these senior professors.

The development of modern medicine in China has only been a few decades at most, which is incomparable to the hundreds of years of accumulation abroad in terms of scientific research and patents.

"Ziye, why do you ask that?" Yuan Weihong asked in return.

Fang Ziye then explained his guess.

Deng Yong and Yuan Weihong looked at each other for a while, then shook their heads: "This thing has always been far away from our Zhongnan Hospital, so we don't know much about it."

"However, I think your personal understanding is still reasonable."

"Character is a major issue. Maintaining moral integrity might be the final driving force!"

"Unless you can crush them."

After adding one last sentence, Deng Yong shook his head: "No, sometimes even if you crush them, it's useless!"

Deng Yong then looked at Yuan Weihong, his eyes darting around before he asked, "Yuan Weihong, you're about to be promoted to associate professor. Would you like to take a trip abroad?"

After Fang Ziye mentioned it, Deng Yong immediately made a decision in his mind!
He and Yuan Weihong definitely have no chance of challenging for that position.

But Fang Ziye has a good chance.

The premise is that they must be able to successfully protect Fang Ziye. If Fang Ziye makes a mistake out of "ignorance" during this process, it will be disastrous.

That's the same as breaking the law; you can't be exempt from responsibility just because you didn't know it was illegal!
If your knowledge is limited at this point, you need to go out and learn, to experience a proper academic environment!

Deng Yong then added, "This is a very long race, and I can't possibly accompany Ziye that far!"

The system for appointing academicians is based on a reserve system!

Nobody knew when Fang Ziye would be nominated, let alone when he would be selected.

Most academicians are over forty years old.

Exceptions aside.

When Fang Ziye was forty, Deng Yong was already old and nearing retirement. What if Fang Ziye was forty-five or even fifty when he could have reached that position?

The only one with time was Yuan Weihong, and Deng Yong only trusted Yuan Weihong.

Fang Ziye and Yuan Weihong have the closest relationship!

If Fang Ziye were handed over to Professor Du Xinzhan or Han Yuanxiao, Deng Yong would be extremely worried!

Upon hearing this, Yuan Weihong touched his receding hairline and smiled, "Teacher Deng, I'm already this old, do I still need to go out and study?"

"Shouldn't I be approaching the age where I should be enjoying my retirement?"

Yuan Weihong made a joke.

Of course, if he were to retire now and use Fang Ziye as a stepping stone, Yuan Weihong could comfortably become a National Outstanding Young Scientist and then have nothing to worry about!

It's impossible that a "Distinguished Young Scholar" title isn't prestigious enough in China. How many academicians are there across so many industries in China?

"Don't be so flippant, I'm serious about this."

"The connections, resources, and personal resources that a person of that level can access are incomparable to those of ordinary organizations."

"If our Zhongnan Hospital's orthopedics department is to remain at the forefront of the province and even the country for decades to come, producing such a talent is indispensable!"

"We can't rely on others; we can only rely on ourselves!" Deng Yong said earnestly.

Zhongnan Hospital has not yet produced a single academician, although many have been nominated for the position.

“Teacher Deng, then I’ll go!” Yuan Weihong stopped joking with Deng Yong.

It's a joke. If Yuan Weihong were to retire now and hand over Fang Ziye to someone else, wouldn't all his previous stubbornness in not spending his research funds on Fang Ziye, this big spender, before he had his own students and disciples be for nothing?
Fang Ziye has long surpassed his master. Yuan Weihong can be said to have passed on all his mantle to Fang Ziye, and Fang Ziye has completely overturned the mantle he passed on!
What else can Yuan Weihong do now but protect his students?

If we really try to push forward on our own, what's the point? It's just a waste of resources.

Yuan Weihong knows his limits.

Fang Ziye felt slightly uncomfortable when he heard that Yuan Weihong was about to be sent abroad for a year or even two years by Deng Yong after just a few words.

This feeling is like your own parents, who are already of retirement age, but have to go out and work hard to earn money to support the family for your sake.

However, the sadness didn't last long. Fang Ziye came out and said with a slightly choked voice, "Thank you, Master."

Deng Yong's statement and Yuan Weihong's agreement both indicate that from now on, they will step back from the forefront, no longer occupying any resources, but instead handing over all their accumulated wealth to Fang Ziye.

Treat Fangziye as a benchmark for hospitals!

The benchmark is thrown with all its might; how far it goes is entirely up to fate.

Of course, Deng Yong wasn't the type to just order people around. He continued, "Yuan Weihong, you and Ziye can continue your chat for a while. I'm going to see Dean Wang now!"

"Report to him what happened in the department today."

After saying that, Deng Yong patted his thighs and walked out, his back view quite dashing.

Yuan Weihong and Fang Ziye watched Deng Yong leave.

It wasn't until Deng Yong's figure disappeared for a full half hour that Yuan Weihong told Fang Ziye directly, "Teacher Deng is going to compete with Professor Du for the position of the next head of orthopedics administration."

This time, Yuan Weihong didn't speak in riddles, nor did he make Fang Ziye guess Deng Yong's intentions.

"Is there a chance, Master?" Fang Ziye asked in return.

"There's definitely an opportunity! And a significant one at that."

"The premise is that we need to cure all the patients in our department well, do everything we should do to the best of our ability, and strive to be worthy of the cost of every surgery and every patient who comes to our hospital for treatment!"

As Yuan Weihong spoke, he realized he was being somewhat hypocritical: "These are the major premises. The minor premise is that if a few words from a patient in the ward are spoken, they might be more effective than what Director Wang says!"

"Teacher Deng is indeed capable!"

Deng Yong's overall expertise in trauma surgery still ranks among the top three in Hubei Province.

Their fame ranks among the top two!

In terms of ability, apart from Duan Hong from Tongji Hospital and Fang Ziye, can other professors like Qi Qiaowen or An Luming from the Provincial People's Hospital really compete with Deng Yong?
Under Fang Ziye's leadership, the answer is now very clear.

In Yuan Weihong's own ranking of Hubei Province's overall strength, Fang Ziye is undoubtedly number one, Duan Hong is second, Deng Yong is third, and the fourth and fifth are irrelevant, having nothing to do with Zhongnan Hospital.

With this strength, this energy, and the current popularity of the Department of Trauma Surgery at Zhongnan Hospital, it is in no way inferior to Professor Du Xinzhan!
What matters is the underlying advantages!
"As I said before, those who can truly compete are actually quite similar in ability; the most important thing is to look at the details."

"Ziye, you must keep in mind what the two senior academicians told you today, because no one can understand the hardship and caution required to get to that point better than them."

"Behave yourself, uphold professional ethics!" Yuan Weihong reminded him again.

After seeing Fang Ziye nod, Yuan Weihong relayed some of the upcoming events to Fang Ziye.

It's nothing more than that Lungtai's technology channel is about to conduct an "exclusive interview" with the team, but it will be a rather lengthy follow-up interview.

This follow-up visit requires not only the participation of Nie Mingxian, Lan Tianluo, and others, but also the involvement of Fang Ziye.

The main point is to review the difficulties encountered in the process of damage treatment, functional reconstruction, and improvement of the microcirculation device, the solutions, and how Fang Ziye overcame the difficulties!

Documentaries can also be faked; it's simply a matter of Nie Mingxian and others doing it all over again, recreating the difficulties they encountered before in front of the audience.

Then, the group repeated the discussion process again before attempting to solve the problem...

Because no one can predict whether a scientific research project will succeed, and apart from top-notch teams, it's impossible for journalists to start filming a documentary at the very beginning of a research project.

Unless it's a documentary like the one featuring Professor Li Da from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Zhongnan Hospital, which presents the diagnosis and treatment process directly without any personal bias, it's unlikely to be suitable.

However, for such documentaries, Zhongnan Hospital in Hubei Province is certainly not the first choice.

Why not film at Tongji University or Peking Union Medical College Hospital?
However, in terms of the strength of obstetrics and gynecology, Professor Li is very well-known in Hubei Province, and his strength in the province can be called No. 1!

"Master, I'm definitely fine with it. You just said we can have a WeChat conference call or a video conference!"

"Anyway, from now on, before I leave my post as chief resident, I will definitely not do anything to avoid my duties again," Fang Ziye said firmly.

As Academician Gu Yuandong said, whether you're an academician or someone seeking fame and fortune, or a reporter from Longtai, you can come and interview me, I'll do mine.

This is my profession; I'm the chief resident now, so I have to stay here.

Some confidential data and issues cannot be disclosed, not even by technology channels.

Then Yuan Weihong added, "Professor Gu is already putting into practice what he said this afternoon."

"This is a news item I specifically asked someone to notice. It's a smokescreen released by members of Professor Gu's team, claiming that their team plans to develop a miraculous limb-sparing device and will soon be partnering with a well-known international medical device company..."

"Among them, Professor Qiu Zhenghua, who once developed internal fixation materials for scoliosis, also announced a powerful collaboration with them!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, even if our team applies for project approval right now, it will only be rejected!"

"If we want to compete with them, we have to publish an article immediately and confirm this matter first..."

However, Fang Ziye seemed somewhat unconvinced, his eyes darting around with a bright, sparkling light—

His expression was calm, but a smile played at the corners of his mouth, a smile that seemed to carry ill intent.

"Forehead?"

"What's with that expression?" Yuan Weihong was taken aback when he saw it.

Fang Ziye scratched his ear and said, "Master, Professor Gu already said it's fake, why do you and Teacher Deng have to take it seriously?"

"When it comes to overall strength, it's not surprising that we can't compete with an academician team, especially when it's a combined attack from two academicians."

On the surface, Fang Ziye would naturally try to comfort the two proud teachers. They must have felt that if they couldn't even protect the original works created by their students, it would be an insulting incident.

But this is fake! Why are you taking it so seriously?
In fact, what Fang Ziye was thinking deep down was that if the two senior academicians knew the relevant key data and the process of improving the device, they would be able to make the device.

Will Nie Mingxian bring him to Zhongnan Hospital?
He already had it done at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, okay?
Are you really willing to give Fang Ziye a share of the profits for free?

Even if he managed to create this device, he wouldn't be able to get involved without the participation of a level 5 vascular surgery expert!
The basic theoretical knowledge is very basic, but level 5 intensity? Are you kidding me?
By the time they realized what was going on and went to look for someone, Fang Ziye's grandson's generation had already created an improved version of the micro-circulation device.

Some things, as long as they are not fully explained, you can just let them repeat themselves.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Weihong said, "This is a matter between me and Teacher Deng. You don't need to consider it or get involved."

Internally, perhaps due to Professor Chu's influence, Yuan Weihong might not be aligned with Deng Yong. However, when facing external threats, the two will still need to cooperate!
Otherwise, where would the two teachers put their face?

"Alright, then thank you for your trouble, Master." Fang Ziye still didn't intend to reveal his true thoughts.

There are two main reasons: I don't want my master to suffer any setbacks.

Secondly, they don't want their teachers to think they're not doing their job properly.

Fang Ziye is always thinking about doing nothing productive, so Yuan Weihong will mention Fang Buye's name even more frequently.

Besides, wouldn't it be interesting to see how one's teacher plays a friendly match with two senior academicians?

There is also the most obvious point.

The reporters from Longtai have already conducted exclusive interviews, so what are these two senior academicians still arguing about? Do they really think they can control everything?

Therefore, Fang Ziye did not take the joke seriously at all.

Fang Ziye, however, felt that this might be a smokescreen released by Professor Gu Yuandong. Under the guise of wanting to seize Fang Ziye's "peach," they were secretly plotting a maneuver to overtake him.

Of course, Fang Ziye didn't bother to guess or speculate about Professor Gu Yuandong's true intentions.

Blacksmith need its own hardware.

……

In the days that followed, Fang Ziye, Nie Mingxian, and others had another task: to repeatedly record matters related to the 'documentary'!

The recording process was quick because documentaries can be edited.

Therefore, it only takes a week for a few people to repeat all the difficulties and challenges in the research and development of various techniques.

The problem was basically solved by Fang Ziye as soon as Nie Mingxian raised it. Nie Mingxian even knew the answer himself, but he couldn't say it out loud.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a documentary, but a one-man show.

The fact is that Fang Ziye is the ultimate theoretical guide, something Nie Mingxian himself has already admitted. How could he possibly go back on his word?

Fang Ziye could also see that Nie Mingxian had been constantly restraining himself recently, both in terms of his participation in clinical surgeries and his appearance rate in animal laboratories.

Nie Mingxian will eventually have to go back to pursue her doctorate, and Fang Ziye isn't even sure if Nie Mingxian will return.

Time flies, and nearly two weeks have passed in the blink of an eye.

On Thursday, September 20th, the documentary filming was completed, and the reporters from Longtai had already left.

Of course, in addition to the reporters leaving, Nie Mingxian also formally sent a farewell letter to Fang Ziye and others.

He's leaving Zhongnan Hospital a few days early!
He wanted to take advantage of the time before National Day and the National Day holiday to go back and spend some quality time with his "father" and "mother".

As a representative of Zhongnan Hospital, Liu Huanglong made a few perfunctory attempts to persuade Nie Mingxian to stay, but Nie Mingxian did not give a clear answer.

That evening, after having dinner with Yuan Weihong and others, Nie Mingxian went to the department to have a barbecue with Fang Ziye and drink some beverages before completing all the farewell procedures!

On Friday, September 21st, during the morning shift change, Fang Ziye looked towards the door many, many times, but Nie Mingxian, who was somewhat ugly but very talented, did not appear.

Despite his good looks and current situation of being somewhat dependent on others, Wu Xuanqi still appears in the department.

Wu Xuanqi extended his exchange and learning period, planning to stay until next year before returning to Tongji Hospital, also wanting to fully experience the atmosphere of the Department of Trauma Surgery at Zhongnan Hospital!
Nie Mingxian still hadn't arrived after the morning shift handover officially began.

However, Fang Ziye received a message from Nie Mingxian:

"Ziye, by the time you see this message, I will already be on the train back to my hometown."

"I want to go back and see my mother, and then I want to see my father!"

"Of course, I'll also stop by to visit my uncle and aunt on the way. I'll tell them that you're doing quite well in Han City now."

"Because that's the truth."

"I am very grateful to you for helping me out of my predicament during this period of time, helping me to find the right direction and better recognize my own value."

"I cannot give a positive answer to any of the topics that Professor Liu Huanglong, Professor Yuan Weihong, and Professor Deng Yong discussed with me."

"Of course I know that you, Ziye, have similar thoughts in your heart, and I myself have similar thoughts."

"However, life is long, and none of us can give an answer based on a momentary whim or impulse; that would be immature."

“Job intentions are different from working on a research project together. Once a job is settled, it is likely to be for life.”

“Your brother Nie is getting on in years, no longer the impulsive person you are now. No matter what we choose, we will eventually meet again in the future.”

"Thank you even more for taking care of me when I was struggling financially. Even now, I'm not exactly well-off either, so I can't just generously return the other half of the rent we shared to you!~"

"See you in the martial world!"

The message Nie Mingxian sent was long, without any sentimentality or rambling; it was simply a formal farewell to Fang Ziye.

Fang Ziye didn't feel lost, but he was quite emotional as he recalled the events since Nie Mingxian came to Zhongnan Hospital in May.

"Ziye, Ziye!" Liu Huanglong's voice pulled Fang Ziye's wandering thoughts back to reality.

After regaining his composure, Fang Ziye looked in the direction where Liu Huanglong was.

"Teacher Liu!" Fang Ziye didn't hear what Liu Huanglong had just said.

Liu Huanglong then repeated himself, chuckling, "I said, you've done a great job as General Manager Fang. Why don't you say a few words to everyone?"

"Are you heartbroken or what? We've got plenty of female colleagues in our department, haven't we?"

Everyone laughed upon hearing this.

As everyone knows, Fang Ziye and Nie Mingxian have a deep mutual respect and a sense of kinship.

Wu Xuanqi is also very outstanding, but he has no such entanglement with Fang Ziye.

"Teacher Liu, it's all thanks to the guidance from our superiors. I was just doing my duty."

"Teacher Liu, why don't you speak first?" Fang Ziye said.

After October, Liu Huanglong will bring with him functional reconstruction surgery for the hands and upper limbs to rebuild the prestige of the Hand Surgery Department at Zhongnan Hospital.

With the addition of a powerful miniature circulatory device, Liu Huanglong is well on track to stay ahead of others in hand surgery by ten years!

For the next ten years, even in the field of hand surgery across the country, the name Liu Huanglong would be unavoidable; it was destined to be so.

Of course, the names Fang Ziye and Nie Mingxian are unavoidable; they're names that will inevitably be mentioned to death in countless meetings!
Upon hearing this, Liu Huanglong smiled again: "It seems our CEO Fang is still quite shy!"

"I just hope that the public account I used to run can continue indefinitely."

"I still hope that Mr. Fang can continue to uphold the operational opportunity participation system that you proposed before."

"I hope that we can have more exchanges and collaborate on more research projects in the future..."

Liu Huanglong also sensed the impending separation!
Liu Huanglong's words carried a hint of sadness, and the department immediately fell silent.

This silence lasted for about ten seconds.

Liu Huanglong then broke the silence again: "Let's not waste any more time on small talk. Let's go do our rounds first. We also have surgeries scheduled for today."

"Ziye, are you going on stage today?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye shook his head: "Professor Liu, if there is no upper limb functional reconstruction surgery, then there is no need for me to go on stage, right?"

"With you and my master here, there will definitely be no problem."

"I'm going to give the interns a good lesson today. I've also arranged a teaching discussion at noon..."

Fang Ziye is now the chief resident. The hospital assigns chief residents the tasks of emergency consultations and managing all matters in the department.

The department assigns the chief resident the task of mentoring resident physicians and interns.

The resident physicians are alright, but the interns have a high turnover rate. Basically, a new batch comes in every one or two weeks. If I don't take this opportunity to teach them properly, I might miss out on them.

Fang Ziye has already secured a spot for a doctoral student, but a spot for a master's student is still pending.

If you don't choose in advance, you'll have to open blind boxes.

……

Of course, Fang Ziye still accompanied them on their ward rounds.

After checking the rooms, Lan Tianluo said, "Senior brother, although Senior Brother Nie has left, the progress of several projects in our animal laboratory is going quite smoothly, and the improvement work on the micro-circulatory device has been completely completed."

"This batch of miniature circulatory devices is already undergoing animal testing; we're just waiting to collect data. After a few rounds of clinical use, it's very likely that it will be approved for market release!"

"Yes, that's good, Tianluo."

"After this topic has come to a partial conclusion, we will need to move on to the next step. There are two clinical topics and two clinical tasks."

"The clinical research focuses on functional rehabilitation surgery, and the combined application of limb-sparing surgery and interventional procedures!"

"The clinical mission is to continue developing a simplified version of limb-sparing surgery for catastrophic injuries and to continue teaching manual reduction techniques."

Upon hearing this, Lan Tianluo scratched his head: "Senior brother, you're not really so distracted because of Senior Brother Nie's departure, are you?"

"This is the third time you've brought up this topic with me!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye instantly adopted his senior brother's imposing manner: "Even on the third try, you still need to memorize it properly!"

"These topics and tasks are all very important."

"Oh, by the way, Jiehan will be coming out of the animal laboratory next month, then you'll have an assistant."

Jie Han applied to withdraw from clinical trials in August and went to the animal laboratory for intensive training!
Two months have passed, and Jie Han has made considerable progress. Although he cannot yet perform limb-sparing surgery on malformed limbs independently, his operational skills are basically unmatched except by Yuan Weihong, Lan Tianluo, and Associate Professor Chen Fang!
That's already quite impressive, considering there are so many PhDs in the department who are all studying, and Jie Han's learning efficiency is the fastest.

After all, Jie Han's expertise is not in clinical procedures!

Lan Tianluo nodded happily upon hearing this: "Yes, Senior Brother is about to emerge from seclusion. I wonder if he will still consider going into seclusion after he does."

Only after Jie Han emerges from seclusion will he realize that the gap between him and himself in clinical practice is widening, which is a little amusing to Lan Tianluo right now.

There's nothing I can do. For example, Fang Ziye can't compare. Compared to his master, Associate Professor Chen Fang, and even Liu Huanglong, they are all slightly inferior in terms of learning speed.

Isn't the only happiness Lan Tianluo can find left with Jie Han?
After all, Master Yuan Weihong was already pitiful enough. He had encountered Fang Ziye, a freak. If Lan Tianluo were to further damage his Dao heart, he might not be able to hold on!
"Aren't you going to get out of the operating room yet?" Fang Ziye was too lazy to reply to Lan Tianluo.

Lan Tianlu pursed his lips: "Let's not go for now, otherwise Teacher Liu will have to make Master go to the other side of me again, which is not good for Master."

"Senior, the documentary is finished recording! It should be broadcast after National Day, since it still needs time for review."

"However, I've noticed that online opinion seems to be overwhelmingly in favor of this 'miracle device' developed by Academician Gu Yuandong."

"Do you think it's possible that he really stole our fruits?"

"Think about it, if the reporters from Longtai also follow the trend, they might go to Huashan Hospital to film a real documentary."

"Then where can we go to reason with them?"

"What did Master say?" Fang Ziye asked.

Lan Tianluo cautiously said, "Master said that we tried, but we couldn't do it at all! We even had a hard time getting the lead to Academician Gu and Academician Haoqiu."

"If this show doesn't air in the end, there's basically no point in waiting for the result; we might as well just admit defeat!"

Lan Tianluo himself is not good at public opinion, let alone intrigue and scheming.

Of course, if the other party really wanted to cause trouble, Lan Tianluo could probably stab them in the back, but since both professors said it was just a joke, Lan Tianluo couldn't take it seriously.

People can not escape from doing wrong?
Just because two senior professors didn't fabricate anything doesn't mean all their students are honest. Lan Tianluo has now collected more than six articles with the two senior academicians listed as corresponding authors, which is a big problem!
"Then let's listen to Master?"

"Come here, I'll tell you about an explosive new topic." Fang Ziye beckoned to Lan Tianluo.

As Lan Tianluo approached quietly, his body stiffened, his eyes widened like a bull's, and he stared at Fang Ziye in astonishment as if he were looking at a monster!
