"By the way, Ziye, I'm sending you something. Take some time to study it later, fill it out, and print it out!" Liu Huanglong said, forwarding two documents to Fang Ziye.

The rain outside had stopped, but occasional raindrops fell from the leaves, pattering and splashing on the puddles on the ground with a crisp sound.

"Teacher Liu, what form?" Fang Ziye took a big step and jumped over a puddle.

Liu Huanglong then went around to the cement edging of the flower bed, avoiding the puddle: "The application form for membership in the Chinese Medical Association! A paper version."

"Didn't you already go through the application process online? Now the chairpersons of the Hand Surgery and Trauma Surgery branches are here, along with many other big names."

"Why don't you seize this opportunity to get a few people to sign your recommendation forms and shove them into Professor Tang's hands? When are you going to do it?"

"Take a good look at this later. It's useful and can enhance your resume." After sending the document out, Liu Huanglong stretched.

After the two circled the pool, they reunited, and Liu Huanglong said, "Let's end our conversation with Professor Cheng here!"

"However, we should be careful in the future. We only have different academic ideas, not different professional ideas."

"Of course, Professor Cheng is getting on in years and will rarely be active in clinical practice in the future!"

Fang Ziye nodded: "Teacher Liu, don't worry. I'm only afraid that Professor Cheng will hold a grudge against me. How could I possibly be angry with him?"

Fang Ziye does not rule out the possibility that Professor Cheng's initial intention in having him participate in the liver microcirculation device was to benefit more patients.

However, Fang Ziye did not want to get involved in this matter for the time being.

The miniature circulatory device limb-sparing surgery after bilateral lower limb amputation preserves the patient's own limbs!

Liver transplantation, which usually involves preserving a limb from another person, is a completely different concept.

Furthermore, if a person's liver is severed after trauma, even a miniature circulatory system cannot save their life.

Even Fang Ziye himself, as someone within the medical system, felt that the current organ transplant system was too opaque, or rather, too easily manipulated.

It may not be as terrifying as the rumors on the internet, but this system is generally a life-extending pool for the wealthy!
If this process goes against Fang Ziye's own values, he won't get involved.

Of course, Fang Ziye wasn't worried about being targeted by anyone.

With so many surgeons in the world and so many talented people available today, why should anyone force themselves to do organ transplants?

After saying goodbye to Liu Huanglong, Fang Ziye saw the message from Luo Tingzhu saying that she would bring him food.

Luo Tingzhu left the venue around 4 p.m. today, saying she was going to pack up her food in advance.

The process inside the venue has already concluded with Fang Ziye's report and teaching surgery; the entire process is not yet complete.

Surgery is not child's play. In addition to the surgeon's skills, the anesthesiologist's skills are also crucial.

Layered anesthesia can greatly improve the effectiveness of functional reconstruction surgery.

"I'm fine with anything, as long as it's not too spicy."

"After all, there are important matters to attend to tomorrow." Fang Ziye replied to Luo Tingzhu, and then opened one of the documents Liu Huanglong had given him.

Application requirements for the Trauma Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association —

The content was very official, filled with bureaucratic jargon and clichés. However, after Fang Ziye's own summary, it can be summarized as follows!
1. Professional Qualifications:

Applicants should possess a bachelor's degree or higher in medicine, surgery, or a related field. They should hold the corresponding medical practitioner's license and have in-depth professional knowledge and extensive clinical experience in the field of trauma surgery.

Of these two points, the first is essential and relatively objective. However, the latter is much harder to define.

However, although it is difficult to define, there are other conditions that constrain it; otherwise, the committee of the Trauma Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association would be overwhelmed.

2. Academic Achievements:

Significant academic achievements in the field of trauma surgery, such as publishing high-level academic papers, participating in important research projects, or receiving relevant awards. Profound academic knowledge and familiarity with the academic dynamics and development trends in the field of trauma surgery both domestically and internationally.

The document contains a fairly detailed explanation of this point.

Fang Ziye's published articles can be considered high-level academic papers. His clinical research projects also qualify as significant research projects.

The only shortcoming is the lack of awards, but the provincial-level natural science award is barely enough.

After reading all of this, and recalling the academic seminar spearheaded by Professors Gu Yuandong and Qiu Zhenghua, Fang Ziye finally understood something.

If the two elderly people were tailors, then they were acting as "remote teachers," helping Fang Ziye fill in the gaps in his knowledge.

If they're capable of holding specialized seminars, you can't say they're unaware of the latest developments in international scientific research, can you?
Dancing within the rules is much safer than courting death outside the rules.

After all, Fang Ziye is far from being able to set the rules.

Oh no, I should say that the rules Fang Ziye can set can only affect a small number of people at present.

For example, the current surgical opportunities in the Department of Trauma Surgery at Zhongnan Hospital are following the plan previously formulated by Fang Ziye.

When your abilities are insufficient to break out of your comfort zone, you can only stay within it.

Once you have the ability to break out of your comfort zone, the places you go will become new zones.

3. Professional Influence:
Possesses a certain level of renown and influence in the field of trauma surgery, representing the advanced level in this field. Actively participates in various activities organized by the society, contributing to the development of the discipline.

Professional ethics:

Adhere to professional ethics and possess excellent medical ethics and conduct. Be willing to contribute to the development of trauma surgery and the advancement of medicine.

4. Organizational and leadership skills; 5. Membership status; 6. Associate senior level or above.

Application Process:

Applicants are required to submit relevant application materials in accordance with the regulations of the Chinese Medical Association and its Trauma Surgery Branch, including a resume, proof of academic achievements, and letters of recommendation. After review and election by the branch or general association, the final list of committee members will be determined.

The members of the Trauma Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association do not change every year. Fang Ziye has now gone through the application process, but he will have to wait until the next term to become a formal member.

But the process should definitely proceed on a first-come, first-served basis.

After carefully reading the document, Fang Ziye downloaded the relevant attachment forms on his computer, filled them out carefully, and then signed his name and the integrity guarantee clause.

By signing this clause, one automatically makes a commitment that if one engages in academic fraud or other misconduct, it constitutes deception, and the association can revoke one's membership at any time.

Fang Ziye didn't fabricate anything, so of course he wasn't afraid.

However, after seeing this, Fang Ziye became even more concerned about what Liu Huanglong had told him before.

In the future, especially when there are more students, I must pay more attention to the articles published by my students, and I will be the corresponding author.

You yourself won't take shortcuts, but it's possible that your students might go astray and end up harming you.

Maintaining moral integrity and acting prudently will prevent you from making any major mistakes.

Otherwise, even the title of academician might be revoked, let alone a small figure like Fang Ziye.
After filling out the form and checking it carefully once more, Fang Ziye filled out the form for the youth committee members.

The Trauma Surgery Branch is divided into a professional group and a youth group. Fang Ziye is currently old enough to take on both roles.

These honors are all worthy of being included in one's resume. Most academics strive to achieve them, so there must be a reason and they must be valuable.

It may not increase your own strength, but it will give you access to more resources!
After doing all this, Fang Ziye went to the academic lecture hall again. As the exchange meeting was coming to an end, he caught the tail end of the meeting and found a few professors to sign their recommendations. He then handed both forms to Professor Tang Fupei.

Fang Ziye had brought his own document bag, so Professor Tang Fupei readily stuffed it into his own: "Professor Fang, you really know how to handle things."

"I'm already away on a business trip, and you still want me to work overtime?" Professor Tang Fupei's voice was full of energy, which must have been influenced by his time in the military.

"Teacher Tang, being in such a convenient position, I've already gone through the other procedures, but I may not have completed the online approval process yet."

"I hope that you, Professor Tang, will log in to the backend at that time," Fang Ziye said.

Membership in the Chinese Medical Association can be applied for directly, with few or no requirements.

However, members and committee members are completely different. To become a committee member, one must go through approval, election, and recommendation.

The intricacies of this are not entirely transparent, but it's highly actionable!
Of course, this also pushed out a certain number of "connected people" who didn't do academic research but only professional work to some extent.

"Alright, I'll apply again when I get back. But whether you can become a member in the next term will only be determined when the election is held." Tang Fupei didn't give a definitive answer.

However, Tang Fupei said, "I am certain that I voted in favor of the candidate."

The list of committee members has certain entry requirements, and there is currently no upper limit on the number of members.

However, some older professors will voluntarily retire after a certain age, no longer occupying positions without contributing.

"Then thank you for your kind offer, Teacher Tang!" Fang Ziye said with a slightly respectful tone.

Tang Fupei glanced at Fang Ziye, put his briefcase behind him, and asked, "Professor Fang, you still can't come to dinner with us today, can you?"

"This is really missing something."

He had been there for two days and three nights, and Fang Ziye hadn't drunk a single drop of wine in front of him!

This would definitely not make sense if Fang Ziye weren't the chief resident.

If we're not all at the same dinner table, how can we take that first step?

While drinking is bad and a killer for surgeons, it's true that drinking can easily foster relationships.

"Teacher Tang, if there's a chance next month, I'll definitely toast you a few more times!" Fang Ziye said in advance.

He'll be discharged from the chief resident program next month, and there's also the National Orthopaedic Surgeons' Annual Meeting, also known as the COA.

Fang Ziye was worried that Professor Tang Fupei wouldn't be able to schedule him for the orthopedic conference next month!

This is no joke.

The COA has over 100,000 participants in total, and even the Trauma Surgery Branch has over 20,000 participants, most of whom are directors of prefecture-level city hospitals...

If it were a matter of seniority, Fang Ziye might not have been able to get close to Tang Fupei. Of course, if Tang Fupei favored him, he could have a few drinks with Fang Ziye in private.

“Professor Fang, then you can’t make excuses anymore,” Tang Fupei said.

Upon hearing this, Deng Yong said, "Director Tang, if you give the order, how dare Ziye not come? If he doesn't come, I'll tie him up and bring him here!"

Deng Yong spoke cautiously.

The current circle is actually a bit difficult for Deng Yong to get involved in.

Deng Yong is quite famous in Hubei Province, but his overall strength is actually slightly lacking. He is only supported by his students' articles.

He naturally appeared to lack energy.

If Deng Yong has the same abilities as Fang Ziye, then Deng Yong's confidence is at least twice that of Duan Hong!
After a few more words of laughter and conversation, Deng Yongcai said, "Director Tang, Director Yu, let's go grab a quick bite to eat."

"Ziye, you go on duty first. It's better to be prepared."

Fang Ziye then bowed slightly and took his leave.

……

When she returned to the office, Luo Tingzhu had already packed the food, but she packed herself a bowl of maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot).

Upon entering, the aroma of maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot) filled the air, while Fang Ziye's stir-fried dishes simply couldn't compare to the quality of the maocai.

"Senior brother, when I was getting my food to go, I saw a newly opened Maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot) restaurant, so I decided to give it a try."

"You have to do a live surgery broadcast tomorrow morning, so I didn't buy it for you!" Luo Tingzhu explained with a simple smile.

Fang Ziye didn't care about these things. He took a bite of food from Luo Tingzhu's hot pot box, tasted it, and then began to eat his own meal with gusto.

Upon seeing this, Luo Tingzhu quickly pushed the box to the other side!
She wanted to buy the spicy hot pot, and if it caused Fang Ziye to get diarrhea, it could lead to problems with tomorrow's live surgery broadcast.

Luo Tingzhu herself would not forgive herself.

However, since the two academicians visited, she and Fang Ziye have not gone out to eat 'junk food' for a very long time.

Luo Tingzhu was really craving it.

"Da da da!~"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

After knocking, Lan Tianluo pushed open the door and entered with a sweet voice:

"Senior Brother Fang, Senior Sister Fang."

Fang Ziye turned to ask, "Tianluo, why are you only coming up now?"

Lan Tianluo and he did a live broadcast of functional reconstruction surgery together, with Lan Tianluo serving as the third assistant.

The first assistant was given to Liu Huanglong, and the second assistant was given to Professor Ni Yaoping of the Hand Surgery Department, which can be regarded as a manifestation of returning functional reconstruction surgery to the hand surgery department.

But after Fang Ziye returned from the operating room, he went to the academic lecture hall twice and submitted a form before Lan Tianluo finally returned!
This has taken far too long. Fang Ziye then said, "If there's extra rice, there must be extra dishes too. Shall we eat some together?"

Lan Tianluo sat down without ceremony, but as he opened the disposable chopsticks, he whispered, "Senior Brother Fang, Old Man Luo said he wants to come and see me."

"Would it be convenient for you to have a meal together sometime? I want my dad to see that I'm actually doing quite well now and that my superiors value me."

Lan Tianluo was very clever. After quickly expressing his meaning, he took the initiative to change the subject: "Otherwise, Lao Luo would definitely drag me back to my major!"

Lan Tianluo explained to Luo Tingzhu that her father was coming and made the purpose clear beforehand: if the opportunity wasn't right, he was coming to see him.

Lan Tianluo's original name was Luo Tinglan, which corresponds to the name Luo Tingzhu.

Lan Tianluo's mother's surname was Lan, so he changed his name to Lan Tianluo.

After Lan Tianluo entered, Luo Tingzhu ate her food attentively without making any unusual movements.

However, Lan Tianluo's words caused her to pause slightly with her chopsticks.

Then she lowered her head even further.

Lan Tianluo truly lived up to his reputation as a pragmatist. I had only given him a hint yesterday, and he had already arranged things exactly as I had planned today.

"I'm fine!"

Fang Ziye then looked at Luo Tingzhu: "Tingzhu, do you want to come along?"

"We should meet up eventually."

“At the beginning of the month, I will also take you back to my hometown!” Fang Ziye said.

One thing that must be mentioned is that Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu have been dating for almost two years.

Fang Ziye has already graduated, and Luo Tingzhu will graduate next year.

Luo Tingzhu bought a house, and Fang Ziye will soon be able to buy a house outright, so their financial pressure is practically gone.

As for career advancement, Fang Ziye has already passed the most difficult stage of being an attending physician and completing his post-doctoral research. Luo Tingzhu, on the other hand, has other plans and will be entering a postdoctoral research station.

If we don't start discussing marriage now, by the time Luo Tingzhu becomes the chief resident, she won't even bother to ask for her wedding leave!
Luo Tingzhu kept her head down and did not reply for the time being.

Lan Tianluo then spread out the disposable chopsticks before saying, "Senior sister, let's meet her."

"I know who you want to see, I've seen you!"

"Many times!" Lan Tianluo's voice was low, and he did not address her as "sister," but at this moment, he dropped a bombshell that only he himself knew.

Luo Tingzhu immediately straightened up and began looking around restlessly: "What do you mean, many times? What are you talking about?"

This is clearly a sign of guilt and nervousness.

Luo Tingzhu was somewhat afraid to show her vulnerable side to Lan Tianluo. Even when she needed Lan Tianluo's help, she always adopted an indifferent attitude, as if to say, "If you don't care about me, I'll just ask someone else."

"The first time, I was eleven and you were thirteen. The two of you."

"The second time, I was twelve and you were fourteen. The two of you."

“The third time, I was twelve and a half, and you were fourteen and a half…” Lan Tianluo had a good memory and was good at math, and was very sensitive to data.

"Stop talking." Luo Tingzhu raised her voice!
Fang Ziye glanced at Lan Tianluo, and Lan Tianluo said nothing more. Fang Ziye got up and locked the door.

With her head down, she picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks, her voice a little aggrieved: "Even if I did something wrong, I didn't do anything wrong to the person."

“We shouldn’t hold grudges about things that happened when we were kids,” Lan Tianluo replied.

"Alright, alright, how about we eat first? Let's calm down and think things through before we talk about other things, okay?" Fang Ziye thought he could let Lan Tianluo use his 'direct approach'.

However, Fang Ziye softened after seeing Luo Tingzhu's emotional change.

Lan Tianluo certainly wouldn't force the issue; he was merely using a method called 'impact therapy'. Luo Tingzhu was happy to stop discussing this topic.

……

The atmosphere at the meal became tense, and then none of the three spoke again.

After finishing their meal, Luo Tingzhu was the first to clean up the trash and leave.

Lan Tianluo, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened and continued chatting with Fang Ziye about the future development of the department.

Lan Tianluo participated in the entire seminar over the past two days. He copied down the speeches and guidance from Professor Tang Fupei and others in his notebook and also memorized them.

"Senior, do you think the research topic that Professor Tang mentioned is better, or is the bone-inducing material research that we discussed before easier to get started with?" Lan Tianlu asked earnestly.

While asking questions, Lan Tianlu diligently cleaned up the trash on the table, packed the lunch boxes into bags, and even opened a bottle of Yaha iced coffee for Fang Ziye.

Then he went out to throw out the trash.

"We'll see. Previously, our discussions were all internal team discussions, and we didn't listen to other people's opinions and suggestions."

"The team's knowledge and understanding are limited. Personally, I think that the functional reconstruction surgery for functional impairment caused by spinal cord injury, which someone mentioned this time, is sequentially connected with our current research topic."

Fang Ziye took a sip of his drink and gestured for Lan Tianluo to get it himself.

Lan Tianlu nodded and casually sat down on the yellow lacquered wooden stool opposite Fang Ziye, with his feet resting on the lower step of the stool.

"However, Tianluo, I think we need to clarify one point now."

"Our team consists of just a few of us, but it also includes our master and Professor Deng Yong, making it a much larger group!" Fang Ziye spoke calmly and with an exceptionally clear mind.

Lan Tianlu blinked: "Senior brother, what do you mean?"

"The research topic has two directions: extension and in-depth. Extension is to move from the periphery of trauma surgery to other subspecialties, while in-depth is to continue to explore the original diseases of trauma surgery."

"Don't you feel anything?"

"Why haven't you and your master made any breakthroughs in functional reconstruction techniques after all this time?"

"Professor Liu Huanglong's comprehensive expertise in limb-sparing surgery for traumatic injuries is not as good as yours and my two mentors. What is the reason for this?"

"A person's energy is limited, and a team is made up of people, so a team's energy is also limited!" Fang Ziye reminded.

Upon hearing this, Lan Tianluo took a small sip of his drink, his brows relaxing from a deep frown: "Senior brother, wouldn't it be inappropriate to give up halfway just to appease the teacher?"

Fang Ziye has matured and his mindset and vision are more mature than before. He has already taken the steps to become a core member of the team or even a leader.

Many people are now actively or passively following Fang Ziye, but Fang Ziye is not a headless fly; in this process, he is slowly growing and learning.

"Tianluo, your description is too extreme, just like your conversation with Tingzhu just now."

"Changing direction is not giving up, and choosing another path is not abandoning halfway."

“In research within other subspecialty areas, leaving appropriate blank spaces can also be an art,” Fang Ziye said.

Judging from the attitudes of the professors he had met in recent days, Fang Ziye felt that he had done one thing right: he had returned the control of the microcirculator to Liu Huanglong instead of keeping it in his own hands.

Therefore, all the professors of hand surgery now have goodwill and appreciation for Fang Ziye, rather than the complicated feelings that come with conflicting interests!
In contrast, many professors in trauma surgery seem quite kind and approachable, but in reality, they each have their own agendas.

The times and society have changed. It's no longer the era of powerful dragons and local snakes. Today's academic world is a vibrant place where a hundred flowers bloom, and you can't suppress them.

While suppression is ineffective, many methods and approaches are changing with the times.

The transmission of technology and scholarship is currently still based on a group system, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach where everyone is happy and harmonious.

As Lan Tianluo seemed to be deep in thought, Fang Ziye added, "Tianluo, medicine and mathematics have different objects of study. The object of study in medicine is directly people."

"Therefore, the operators of medical research must also be human, and each person can affect your experimental subjects."

If Fang Ziye focuses solely on developing the micro-circulation device, then the team members around him will inevitably change.

There will always be people who can't keep up with your changes and progress.

Even Lan Tianluo might be eliminated!

"Senior brother, I trust your judgment more in terms of the big picture," Lan Tianluo said, backing down.

This was actually the first time Lan Tianluo had sincerely said such things to Fang Ziye.

Therefore, Fang Ziye's achievements in medicine today, to some extent, surpass his accomplishments in other industries.

After all, I haven't gone into much depth.

“Master is back. Go see him. He’s in the hotel across the street. You can ask his wife which room he’s staying in,” Fang Ziye said.

“Senior Brother Jie Han has already gone. I’ll go later,” Lan Tianluo said.

"What about the foreigners tomorrow?"

"We'll talk about it after the seminar ends and after we've seen off all the big shots who attended."

"The foreign teachers only visited temporarily and did not organize an academic conference; at most, it was just a short-term clinical exchange."

"We will receive them the way they come."

"Actually, real surgical communication is more suitable for small-scale, bedside, or even operating table discussions, rather than being moved to a seminar."

“However, in situations where it is inevitable to have one person to many patients, communication at the bedside in the clinic is definitely not appropriate!” Fang Ziye said.

Professors at the Mayo Clinic in the United States will not kneel to greet you, but they cannot be neglected either.

In other aspects, Deng Yong and Yuan Weihong were in charge of maintaining the right balance, but in the process of clinical teaching, it was Fang Ziye who was in charge.

"Okay, senior brother, I'll head to the hotel now. You should get some rest too."

"Do you need me to apologize for what happened to Senior Sister Tingzhu?" Lan Tianluo stood up with a smile, twisting the half-finished bottle of coffee in one hand.

"You're being naughty, aren't you?" Fang Ziye rolled his eyes.

Even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes, and Fang Ziye could only act as a mediator, unable to determine right or wrong.

There are many families in China with complicated relationships like Luo Tingzhu's, but there are very few people who can get along like Lan Tianluo and Luo Tingzhu!
It's hard to say whether Luo Tingzhu's parents' choice was right or wrong.

"..."

Time flies like water, and another night has passed in the blink of an eye.

The next morning was Sunday.

But the trauma surgery department is still extremely busy.

Professor Deng Yong got up early at seven o'clock in the morning and came to the department to lead the team on rounds.

At 7:20, the surgical patient was taken to the operating room.

Fang Ziye had received Luo Tingzhu's message fifteen minutes earlier. It was because Professor Deng Yong had urged Professor Zeng Quanming of the Anesthesiology Department, and then Zeng Quanming had urged Luo Tingzhu.

Luo Tingzhu then complained to Fang Ziye, forming a short closed loop!

Fang Ziye did not reply with text, but instead sent a smiling emoji.

Many regulations have some merit.

Many organizations do not allow spouses to work in the same office or department in principle, based on past experience.

Luo Tingzhu and Fang Ziye are not in the same department, but they are in a cooperative specialty relationship. Luo Tingzhu is always complaining to Fang Ziye.

If we were to encounter another eccentric person acting on impulse in the same ward, it would definitely cause trouble for the unit.

Fang Ziye could certainly understand Luo Tingzhu's "complaints"—

Sunday is a day off.

Being urged at seven in the morning must have been a little annoying, right?
There may be another reason related to the anesthesiology department, but one of the places Luo Tingzhu could vent her frustrations on was Fang Ziye.

After finishing his rounds, Deng Yong said, "Ziye, I won't be going with you to the stage for today's live surgery broadcast. I still need to go to the conference hall to maintain discipline."

"Guests are always welcome, and the task of entertaining them should not always be left to outsiders."

"Today is another functional reconstruction procedure. Liu Huanglong will go on stage with you, along with Tianluo and Geluo. We will definitely have enough manpower."

“Master, it’s alright, you’ve worked hard!” Fang Ziye said.

Deng Yong nodded, and just as he was about to turn around, he turned back and said, "Yuan Weihong sent me a message this morning saying that after a night's rest, Professor Ryan and his team from the Mayo Clinic have decided to go into the operating room this morning."

"Ziye, what's your opinion? They said they want to hear your opinion!"

Fang Ziye nodded upon hearing this: "Master, as long as I don't appear on camera and it doesn't affect our ongoing seminar, it's fine."

Operating room management systems are stricter abroad than in China. It is considered very impolite to enter the operating room without the surgeon's permission.

Generally, scholars who are highly accomplished in their academic and professional fields do not discriminate based on race, with a few exceptions.

People who are truly engaged in academia spend most of their time on their profession and research; they don't have time to care about things like racial superiority or inferiority.

"Alright, whether you agree or not, they're waiting for you down there."

"These people, they all woke up pretty early!" Deng Yong complained.

Fang Ziye actually wanted to say that the medical promotion system abroad is currently more stringent than that in China.

There are few professional title evaluations abroad, but entry is very difficult.

Furthermore, it is further subdivided into many categories, such as MD, DO, NP, etc.

MD and DO are different academic degrees, while NP stands for Medical Assistant...

Doctors abroad enjoy a very high status and earn among the highest incomes of all professions, but the competition is also extremely fierce. Therefore, most of them work very hard, getting up early to make rounds, then performing surgeries, and doing research at night...

My schedule is basically packed every day, and there's no concept of an eight-hour workday.

China's residency system was copied from others, but while residency in other countries earns the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of RMB annually, what about residency in China?

However, it must be mentioned that those who reach the residency level abroad are generally very, very skilled surgeons or internists with a solid foundation in their field.

The average quality of medical skills among domestic undergraduate graduates undergoing standardized residency training is still much lower than that of most resident physicians in the United States.

This is the difference between strict entry and lenient exit, and lenient entry and strict exit!
Fang Ziye quickly went down to the changing room of the operating room with Lan Tianluo Jiehan.

In the locker room, Yuan Weihong was chatting with a few other people. They were still talking about how Fang Ziye was able to perform limb-sparing surgery on severe injuries, which was simply a crazy and ingenious idea.

Foreigners often express themselves quite directly.

If you see your master, you must call out to him.

"Master!"

"Master!" Fang Ziye and the other two said in unison as they held the clothes.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Weihong turned around and introduced them to the group: "These three are my students: Fang Ziye, Jie Han, and Lan Tianluo."

"Fang Ziye is an MD (Medical Doctor), while Jie Han and Lan Tianluo are MMs (Master of Medicine)!"

Because of the differences in education systems between China and other countries, Yuan Weihong did not give a special introduction, but instead introduced the three people who had come to Fang Ziye and the others.

Professor Wade Johnson, Professor Ryan Foley, Professor Brandon Bukowski.

Fang Ziye took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with him.

Because he had lived abroad, Fang Ziye's spoken English was not a big problem.

"Good morning, professors. I'm sorry to meet you so late. I'm on duty! I'm currently a resident physician," Fang Ziye explained.

Professor Brandon, sporting a large beard and his disposable mask billowing out, shook his head and said, "Dr. Fang, this is insane! To think you could innovate such a miraculous limb-sparing surgery during your residency!"

People from other countries also enjoy small talk.

There are also social niceties, but perhaps not as many as the Chinese do in a roundabout way.

"This stage is very tough. Today is Sunday, but I still have an operation to perform."

"The surgery will be broadcast live to our seminar audience. Could you please ask the professors to refrain from speaking so as not to disturb the audience?" Fang Ziye asked.

Actually, the meaning, word order, and other aspects expressed in English can seem quite strange.

“Of course!” All three nodded.

"Thank you so much, Dr. Fang, for allowing us to observe your surgery." Professor Ryan had a flushed face and was tall and thin.

While Fang Ziye was changing, Yuan Weihong introduced him to the professors, saying, "Professor Ryan, Dr. Fang will soon be a member of the Trauma Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association."

Professor Ryan's face seemed to turn even redder upon hearing this: "Such a young academic committee member?"

"If I remember correctly, China has more than three times the number of trauma surgeons as the United States!"

In the United States, it is very difficult to become a committee member of a national academic society without being a member.

However, the number of doctors in the United States is only around one million.

There are currently more than four million registered doctors in China.

With the number of people doubled, the pressure of competition has more than doubled.

Fang Ziye glanced at Yuan Weihong and actually understood Yuan Weihong's sour feeling.

Deng Yong is going to be a member of the Trauma Surgery Branch Committee, after all, he is getting old and his professional title is sufficient!

Fang Ziye is also going to join now.

His master did not enter.

But when Deng Yong's mentor number two entered the scene, Yuan Weihong felt a little uneasy and uncomfortable.

Professor Wade, slightly overweight with a short beard and dark skin, said, "I believe that China's current level of openness is far greater than before."

"Twenty years ago, it would have been unimaginable for Dr. Fang to be such a young member of the Trauma Surgery Branch."

"It's a real shame that this is only my second visit to China, so I can't really see the difference."

Fang Ziye did not reply, but instead led Lan Tianluo and Jie Han directly into the operating room.

He's here for surgery, not for idle chatter.

It's certainly necessary to get to know each other politely, but that's not the core of today's task.

Things have a sequence, and the order cannot be messed up. The key is to do the live broadcast first, and then chat with them casually!
The surgical classification in the United States is not as detailed as that in China.

In the United States, besides sports medicine doctors being classified separately, trauma surgeons, joint surgeons, and even general surgeons may also be spinal surgeons.

Therefore, Fang Ziye is performing functional reconstruction this time, so he is not worried that they will not understand it.

Similarly, surgeries in the United States are by appointment only, and their surgical categories can be very detailed. Apart from emergency surgeries, a doctor may only perform a few types of surgeries for most of his life.

It's by appointment only, after all!
We must refine it, perfect it, and innovate upon it.

They also have such times.

Therefore, when Fang Ziye and others were washing their hands, disinfecting themselves, and getting dressed for pre-operative preparations, they also found it very strange.

Because it seems that there is no position of assistant physician in China, most things are done by the chief surgeon and surgeon.

This is a cultural difference.

Moreover, many operating rooms in China are equipped with very basic equipment; some orthopedic equipment, such as mattresses and traction frames, are not available.

Fang Ziye and the others all used the "creating the world with their own hands" approach to prepare for the operation!
At this point, Yuan Weihong was worried that they wouldn't understand, so he explained it based on the national situation.

The group nodded repeatedly, though they had doubts, they didn't voice them.

This doubt persisted until Fang Ziye began his operation!
Within just one minute, all three people were captivated.

Two minutes later, several people's eyes bulged!
In the third minute, the slightly younger Professor Ryan really couldn't control his emotions and forgot his promise to Fang Ziye.

He blurted out, "Oh my god! Unbelievable!"
