top student at medical school

Chapter 529 Discussing the Dao in the Martial World

Brandon believes that Fang Ziye's perspective is wrong, so he must advise Fang Ziye!
"Dr. Fang, you are a true scholar, otherwise you would not have been able to create such a great surgical technique."

"The successful pioneering of limb-sparing surgery for severe injuries is a mission of our time and a challenge that we doctors must face!"

Although Professor Brandon had a large beard, he had a clean and sharp appearance. His skin was dark, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

"Dr. Fang, I remember there's an old Chinese saying: 'Skills are valued for their quality, not their quantity!'"

After listening, Fang Ziye glanced at his two masters, neither of whom seemed inclined to speak, before saying, "Professor Brandon, there are a few old Chinese sayings, one of which is 'It's never a burden to have many skills.'"

"People need to fill their stomachs first before they have time to fantasize about delicious food."

“I also agree that if we continue to study your ideas in depth, we can transform limb-saving surgery for severe injuries into a tool that every orthopedic surgeon can use.”

"But reality doesn't allow it. We clinicians are dealing with patients, and the needs of our patients, to a certain extent, determine the regional characteristics of medical care."

For example, Yunnan Province in China has a mushroom poisoning family, which is not found in many other places.

"Dr. Fang, no, no, no, I believe that a true scholar should first and foremost consider academic research and the contribution to the health of all humanity worldwide, rather than being confined to one place..."

"If you have real-world constraints or seem reserved, our hospital would very much welcome Dr. Fang to come and dedicate yourself to research. We can provide you with research funding, materials, a team, and patients." Foreigners often communicate quite directly.

They have a certain understanding of social etiquette, but they don't overthink things.

Professor Brandon is now speaking to Fang Ziye on objective grounds.

Therefore, even though Deng Yong and Yuan Weihong were unhappy, they couldn't directly refute them.

Comparing a small hospital like Zhongnan Hospital to the Mayo Clinic in terms of platform and resources is just asking for trouble.
No matter where you go, people will think you're bringing shame upon yourself.

However, this kind of blatant poaching is still quite infuriating in China.

“Professor Brandon, it’s difficult for us to reach a consensus, so let’s discuss the procedure itself and the specific content of the topic.”

“I appreciate your kindness, but I may have to let you down!” Fang Ziye said directly.

Professor Brandon's suggestion, on a larger scale, is the best option if Fang Ziye wants to make a name for himself in history and leave a significant mark on the world's medical history.

Following Professor Brandon's suggestion is the most appropriate course of action. Many predecessors have left their mark on textbooks in this way.

I would gladly die a hundred times to bribe a scholar to be given the posthumous title of "Wenzheng"!
Since ancient times, Chinese literati have placed great importance on fame and fortune. Countless Confucian scholars have wanted to leave their mark on history, but very few have actually achieved this.

However, that was in the past!

Having been exposed to the internet, Fang Ziye has never dreamed of making a name for himself in history.

If a person lives too stressfully, and becomes bound by something, then they are attached to appearances. It is better to live a peaceful and simple life, free from worries about food and clothing.

"What a pity!"

"I'm sorry." Brandon repeated his regret twice, seeing that Fang Ziye was so stubborn.

Upon hearing this, Deng Yong added, "Professor Brandon, the national conditions in China are different from those in the United States, and the foundations of medical development are also different."

“If this were a hundred or even two hundred years ago, looking at the history of medicine, your country’s medical scholars would have made the same choice as Dr. Fang.”

"We must respect each other's objective circumstances."

"When I was a child, we lacked food and clothing. Being able to eat our fill was a blessing. If you had asked me back then why I didn't eat steak, I might have gotten angry and hit you!" Deng Yong joked with a smile.

This topic finally comes to an end.

Professor Ryan's face was even redder than before, clearly having held it in for a long time. He wasn't used to Chinese tea, but he patiently took another sip and said softly, "Dr. Fang, what points do you think we should pay attention to if we're going to perform limb-sparing surgery for catastrophic injuries?"

"Is it true that as long as you are careful enough and master the basic skills and principles, you can gradually start to develop your skills?"

"Or are there any other techniques involved?"

Unable to find the answer in the first place, he then began to inquire about techniques.

Regardless of Fang Ziye's subsequent choices, it is undeniable that Fang Ziye's current skills are authoritative in the field of limb-sparing surgery for severe injuries.

After seeing Yuan Weihong perform limb salvage surgery on severe injuries, several professors found it particularly amazing and felt that this surgical technique was ahead of its time.

However, when Yuan Weihong said that his student Fang Ziye was better at surgery than him, they all thought Yuan Weihong was bragging.

It wasn't until they saw Fang Ziye perform functional reconstruction surgery yesterday that they realized Yuan Weihong wasn't bragging, but rather giving a very objective evaluation of his student.

“Basic theories and fundamental principles are definitely the most important. I believe that Professor Ryan, Professor Brandon, and Professor Wade understand this better than I do.”

"However, after mastering the basic theories and principles, we still need to practice our basic operations, starting with basic skills such as debridement and suturing, and gradually explore the operation methods of limb preservation surgery for morbid injuries."

"In August, our hospital successfully established a model of limb damage in rabbits. Many doctors in our city have practiced on such rabbit models and thus mastered a certain level of proficiency in the operation."

"And then it gradually shifted to clinical patients," Fang Ziye said.

"Oh my god!" The younger Professor Ryan covered his head with his hands.

"Dr. Fang, you'd better tell me this isn't true!"

Only those who are truly engaged in academic research know the immense significance of developing a rabbit model of limb salvage after developing limb salvage techniques for others to practice on.

One is the operation, which benefits the patients I encounter.

One benefit is teaching, which benefits all doctors who want to learn this procedure, indirectly benefiting the patients involved. This is good news for all patients.

Fang Ziye smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Professor Ryan, you've come from afar and are our honored guest. I can't lie to you!"

"That's true, and congratulations Professor Ryan, you also have the opportunity to bring such a model back."

"Or you could find a company to cooperate with. Professor Ryan, your animal laboratory can theoretically provide you with an unlimited number of corresponding models for practice."

English expressions from abroad are relatively straightforward, and even when translated into Chinese, they often require reversal.

Even without inversion, the meaning is still understandable.

Spoken language emphasizes a straightforward and unpretentious style and doesn't pay much attention to formal grammar.

"This will be a very happy thing. I believe every doctor who wants to perform limb salvage surgery will be grateful to you, Professor Fang!" Professor Ryan has already started to address Fang Ziye as Professor Fang.

“Professor Fang is definitely a true scholar!” Professor Ryan looked at Brandon and Wade.

"Of course!" they both said in unison.

"Doctors value technology, professors focus on teaching quality, and scholars explore the unknown."

"If these three can be combined, the professor will surely be extremely learned."

"Professor Fang laid an excellent foundation for learning limb-sparing surgery for traumatic injuries, which is a boon for all trauma patients!~"

"Professor Fang, would it be convenient for you to take us to visit your animal laboratory?" Professor Wade suggested.

"Of course, there should still be many of our colleagues from Han City learning in our animal testing labs right now..."

“We can go together and see how a doctor who has never performed limb salvage surgery before has gradually improved his skills. This might be helpful for the professors when they go back and perform similar surgeries.” Fang Ziye agreed!
……

Teaching methods can be categorized, and how to strike a balance between these categories is something that teachers themselves need to determine.

For those like Yu Jiehan and Lan Tianluo who lack a solid foundation, what you need to pass on is the technique, and even hands-on guidance and teaching.

Just like teaching an elementary school student, you can only cultivate one or two mathematicians if you improve their knowledge base.

High school graduates are different. At this age, they have already accumulated some prior knowledge. You can give them textbooks and provide guidance, and they may be able to improve through self-study.

However, for doctoral and master's students, you only need to give them a direction and point out the key points a few times, and they can naturally break through.

However, if they are top professors in the mathematics field, they can overcome this mountain on their own, even if you just give them some inspiration.

Therefore, it is completely unnecessary to simply teach basic skills to people like Professor Wade and Professor Brandon, who have very mature fundamental skills.

That's why the seminar only lasted a few days.

Professor Brandon and others' basic skills are basically no worse than Deng Yong's, and may even be better, but whether they can be better than Duan Hong is still hard to say.

Foreign medicine is more advanced because their equipment, tools, and medicines are better than those in China. They only need to learn more advanced concepts and then combine them with their own advanced tools to achieve higher quality treatment results!
Upper decision decided by the economic background.

The better the economic foundation of a place, the smoother its development will be. It will be faster and better to develop something there than in a barren place!

Fang Ziye and his group led Professor Brandon and the others on a tour, encountering many people along the way!
Once these people recognized Fang Ziye, they would usually stop him and ask him to give them feedback and critique on the limb-saving surgery he had performed on them.

I hope Fang Ziye can point out the error.

If you don't have it, strive to improve; if you do, correct it.

There's nothing to be ashamed of. Fang Ziye has even held seminars, and domestic authorities have certified that he is at a "pioneer" level in the field of trauma and functional reconstruction.

Throughout the visit, the three professors found the atmosphere excellent and fully appreciated and affirmed the advanced nature of the animal laboratory's teaching process for limb salvage surgery in cases of catastrophic injury!
Because of the existence of models, there is theoretically an infinite margin of error and trial-and-error cost, which greatly reduces the clinical silent cost of learning new surgical techniques.

Fang Ziye did not tell the others about the identities and backgrounds of Professor Wade and the others. Although the others knew that Wade and the others were foreigners, they did not expect that these people would have such a great background.

People who are still learning in the laboratory are basically not qualified to enter the seminar!

When I came out of the animal laboratory, it was already past noon.

"Professor Wade, I heard from Professor Ryan that you have your own animal laboratory. Do you have any suggestions for the design of our hospital's animal laboratory?" Fang Ziye asked.

This animal testing laboratory was not designed and built by Fang Ziye; it must have significant flaws.

Fang Ziye had visited laboratories abroad, but he didn't know how to improve it.

After listening, Professor Wade said, "The laboratory we just visited has some advanced equipment, but there are also some areas that can be improved."

"For example, the disinfection area at the entrance can be more spacious. Also, I noticed that there are still some areas in the animal testing room that haven't been developed yet."

"In addition to the operating table, there should be a separate instrument table, and each operating room should have its own sterilization lamp."

"The equipment in the operating room should ideally be equivalent to that in a hospital operating room."

"By the way, the operating table here is too rudimentary."

"in addition……"

When you ask a wealthy person for advice on home renovation, they will never mention the word "money," yet every word they say revolves around it.

Following Professor Wade's advice, Fang Ziye estimated that the animal laboratory would need to cost at least tens of millions to be renovated before it could even barely meet his standards.

Aside from Fang Ziye, the others went out to eat together.

……

Tuesday, October 10th.

The day for Professor Deng Yong's team to perform surgery finally arrived.

The damage was an emergency surgery. During the time Professor Brandon and his team were there, they did not encounter any emergencies, and it was impossible for Fang Ziye to have created such a case.

So, based on the principle of treating whatever surgery they needed, we took them into the operating room.

During another close-up session with Fang Ziye on the operating table, Professor Brandon remarked, "Dr. Fang, your hands must have been touched by God, right?"

"As far as I know, vascular surgery, hand surgery, and trauma surgery in China are separate specialties and are not integrated."

"But I just watched Dr. Fang's procedure, and you are very skilled in every basic skill. You are even more skilled than many trauma doctors in our hospital."

In other countries, surgery is performed in the emergency room. Basically, any surgery related to trauma is handled in the emergency room.

The specialist wards handle elective diseases.

"Professor Brandon, do you think it's possible that I developed these hands through practice?"

"I'm not a Christian; faith is very diverse in China," Fang Ziye joked, answering with ease during the surgery.

Next, Fang Ziye added, "Professor Wade, when we perform functional reconstruction surgery, we still follow the principles of surgery, which is to expose as much tissue as possible."

"For example, the extensor indicis tendon reconstruction I am about to perform should be presented to the surgeon in the best way to expose the extensor indicis tendon, which will make the operation easier for us."

Upon hearing this, Professor Wade immediately moved the retractor in his hand to the side, muttering, "Dr. Fang, I sincerely suggest that your hospital purchase another batch of more comprehensive instruments that are closer to surgical instruments."

"The tendon retractor shouldn't be like this!!"

Professor Wade continued to expose himself, while casually making sarcastic remarks.

Hearing this, Deng Yong and Yuan Weihong, who was next to him, both felt like crying. Deng Yong glanced at Yuan Weihong, who nodded, indicating that the surgical instrument kits from abroad were very comprehensive.

It's still a matter of money and economic foundation.

Wealthy people have dishwashers, microwave ovens, ovens, refrigerators, and so on.

But in many rural kitchens in China, there's only an earthen stove and nothing else, yet people still have to cook and eat, and try their best to make the food taste good.

In terms of cleanliness and hygiene, it may not be as good as a modern kitchen.

But when it comes to good taste, a modern kitchen can't compare to a traditional earthen stove!

Chinese doctors focus on practical skills and basic techniques, without using many fancy instruments, which has improved the quality of their surgeries. This is because they use their own hands and skills to replace some advanced instruments and tools.

"Professor Wade, I will give you feedback on your suggestion."

“However, now is the time for us to learn together, so we shouldn’t complain about whether the restaurant seats are comfortable or not, but rather enjoy the delicious steak!” Fang Ziye tried his best to use metaphors they could understand.

Otherwise, Fang Ziye was genuinely afraid that they wouldn't understand at all.

It must be said that the professors were all very humble!
During the subsequent surgery, they stopped complaining and simply observed the procedure attentively!
However, their only drawback is that they talk a lot. Whenever they see Fang Ziye not frowning, or when they see something they don't understand, or when they have some ideas, they will bring them up.

For example, when Fang Ziye performs functional reconstruction surgery, they will connect each step of the operation to the damage, asking Fang Ziye whether this can be done this way, whether that can be done that way...

Fang Ziye didn't hold back and told everyone he knew as much as possible.

This is the benefit of access and exchange.

The seminar format, with hundreds of participants, certainly couldn't be crammed into the operating room, leaving no room for patients. So, a professor was randomly grabbed and forced onto the stage as the patient.

However, if there are only three or four people, they can communicate and learn face-to-face.

Whether it was a coincidence or not, at 3 p.m. that day, the emergency department received a patient with severe injuries.

The person on duty was Brother Jin Hongzhou. Brother Jin Hongzhou knew that a big shot from the Mayo Clinic was coming to visit recently, so he called to ask Fang Ziye if he wanted to go on stage.

Now, even Jie Han can lead a team to do the damage at Zhongnan Hospital. If Fang Ziye doesn't come, it's a choice between Lan Tianluo and Jie Han.

Chen Fang and Peng Long can manage, and Nie Xuehua, Qin Geluo, and others are also about to take over.

After Fang Ziye heard clearly through the speaker, he said, "Thank you, Brother Zhou. Please arrange for the patient to go into the operating room immediately. I'll be there in a bit."

Although Yuan Weihong and others were key to the successful functional reconstruction surgery, not all procedures in a surgery are critical.

For example, some finishing touches, such as closing the incision or performing an incision, are small procedures that can be performed by resident physicians or even interns!
Therefore, Fang Ziye only glanced at Deng Yong.

Deng Yong understood immediately, and said with a touch of arrogance, "What are you looking at? I'm your master. Even if you leave behind a mess, I have to take it on!"

“Master, the following operations are not difficult. Professor Yuan, several other professors, and I will go to open the stage to deal with the damage…” Fang Ziye said, and began to walk off the stage.

This is not being irresponsible towards the patients.

If it were the first time functional reconstruction surgery was performed in the department, Fang Ziye would definitely be involved in the entire process.

There's no need for that now!

As you gradually rise through the ranks, you need to become more tolerant that your patients won't always perform the best procedures within your team!

Teams need to grow, which requires practice. It is through practice that team members gain fresh perspectives and opportunities arise for junior doctors.

Fang Ziye had been supported step by step by his superiors to get to where he was today; he couldn't just dismantle the bridge after crossing the river. After Fang Ziye stepped down, Professor Wade and the others did not all step down.

It would be rude to replace everyone on the stage at once, so only Professor Brandon went to the emergency operating room with Fang Ziye.

Wade and Professor Ryan remained on stage to complete the remaining operations with Deng Yong and others.

As Fang Ziye was leaving, he saw Brother Wu Xuanqi standing by the timer panel. A thought struck him, and he asked, "Brother Qi, are you coming with me?"

"We have enough manpower here!"

From the start of the seminar until the arrival of Professor Wade and others, Wu Xuanqi remained in a state of 'semi-disappearance'.

Wu Xuanqi did not act arrogantly or act like a guest from outside the area; he remained very low-key.

However, Fang Ziye, as the master, cannot say that he has forgotten Wu Xuanqi just because he has found a powerful patron.

Both the seminar and the live surgery broadcast were important, and Fang Ziye naturally had to consider the overall situation and couldn't spare the attention to Wu Xuanqi's predicament. Now that the seminar was over...

We can't let Wu Xuanqi be the benchmark anymore!
Although Wu Xuanqi was a cunning and scheming man, Fang Ziye knew he had a hundred tricks up his sleeve, but Wu Xuanqi didn't try anything special in front of Fang Ziye.

"Okay!" Wu Xuanqi nodded with a smile.

The three of them then left together, and Fang Ziye took the initiative to introduce Wu Xuanqi's identity to Professor Brandon.

Tongji Hospital, affiliated with Huazhong University of Science and Technology, enjoys a prestigious reputation in China. However, even if you encounter a professor worldwide who is unfamiliar with the people at Tongji Hospital, it means they are not very familiar with the situation there.

Wu Xuanqi was just a junior doctor, so he was even more unfamiliar with him.

Of course, Professor Brandon could also tell from Wu Xuanqi's demeanor that he was a master!
He remarked with a sigh, "Dr. Fang, Dr. Wu, I actually think that China's medical system isn't entirely without its merits."

"Take the doctors here, for example. If they are talented, they can become successful earlier. And if the entry requirements are relatively low, the pool of doctors is larger, so the chances of producing top-notch surgeons are also greater!"

In the United States, and indeed in many other countries, there is no bachelor's degree in clinical medicine. Students must first complete other majors and pass through a series of selection processes before they can enter the clinical specialty at the master's level.

The entry threshold is very high.

This training model dictates that medical professionals abroad are trained through a management-based system, and only those with relatively higher talent can enter.

In China, doctors and teachers are both highly sought-after professions with guaranteed employment, medical care, and job security.

Because of its stability, a great many people choose to study medicine!
"Professor Brandon, what our country needs most right now is more doctors, and of course, we also need more outstanding top-notch doctors!"

"You should know that China has a total population of 1.4 billion, but our country only has a little over 3 million registered practicing physicians!"

"This also includes some researchers who have switched careers," Fang Ziye replied.

Registered practicing physicians are not necessarily doctors.

For many researchers, and many professors and associate professors in the laboratory, obtaining a medical practitioner's certificate is as easy as playing a game.

"Yes, with a population of 1.4 billion, your country is destined to need more doctors."

"Of course, we also need excellent doctors like Dr. Fang. Not just in surgery, but in all disciplines, we need doctors like you," Professor Brandon said.

The three of them then rushed to the emergency operating room.

If the unfamiliar functional reconstruction technique only amazed Professor Brandon!

Professor Brandon was somewhat shocked to see that Fang Ziye had completed a limb-sparing surgery from start to finish in just three and a half hours!

Even after leaving the operating room, Professor Brandon was still muttering to himself, "Such a massive workload, and it was completed in just three and a half hours."

"Dr. Fang, can your body really handle it?"

The total workload is fixed and cannot be reduced, but if the working hours are reduced, efficiency must increase.

Increased efficiency will increase the workload per unit of time, making you even more tired!

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye stepped off the stage, turning to watch Hu Qingyuan and Gong Ziming, a student of Associate Professor Xie Jinyuan, transfer the patient, and said:

"Actually, it's not so bad once you get used to it. When we first started performing these kinds of surgeries, it took about seven hours for one surgery. We only achieved our current efficiency by improving our skills and working as a team."

"Of course, Dr. Wu has also formed a fairly good working relationship with our team."

"Dr. Wu, how long have you been at Zhongnan Hospital?" Professor Brandon asked.

As a professor, when learning a new surgical procedure, in addition to assessing one's own abilities and the difficulty of the new procedure, one must also assess the time needed for the team to gel.

Any surgery performed without a team is like a rootless duckweed.

How can one person possibly perform limb-sparing surgery on a devastating injury? Without an assistant, you can't even complete internal fixation of a fracture.

"It's been more than three months already, and after this month ends, it will be four months."

"As you can see, I've learned a lot from Dr. Fang and his team. After gradually getting involved, I'm becoming more and more proficient." Although Wu Xuanqi has no experience, his spoken English is excellent.

After all, Wu Xuanqi must have some unique skills to have managed to break out of a super competitive place like Tongji Hospital and make a name for himself.

This year's Special Award for Young Physicians went to Wu Xuanqi, marking a significant achievement for a young physician!
Who knows, he might become another Liu Huanglong in the trauma surgery department in the future!

“I envy you having such an opportunity. We probably won’t have that much time to study. Our itinerary only allows us to stay for a week at most!” Professor Brandon said with some envy.

Wu Xuanqi said, "Professor Brandon, a week is a lot of time. It's more than many professors in China who are involved in limb-sparing surgery for catastrophic injuries."

"I will tell my teachers about your deeds."

"I wish you a speedy return to your hospital with the limb-sparing surgery for severe injuries," Wu Xuanqi replied.

Indeed, Wu Xuanqi also felt that he had been taught a lesson.

People from abroad can put aside their work to spend a week at Zhongnan Hospital, but their own teachers are somewhat reluctant to come here to study.

This is actually a different kind of self-promotion.

Although Duan Hong chose to send him over for learning and exchange even after the team had already begun to perform simple limb salvage surgeries for severe injuries, this was a generous gesture.

But it's still not generous enough!
Even the professors at the six universities in Shanghai weren't as generous as Brandon and his group.

Brandon immediately said something quite down-to-earth.

"Because we want to break through our own limitations. After breaking through our limitations, we can not only gain a higher status, but also more income."

“It’s a win-win situation. Learning is necessary and should be lifelong. I hope that after I retire, I won’t have to worry about money anymore,” Brandon joked.

Neither Fang Ziye nor Wu Xuanqi took the matter seriously.

With the high income of American doctors, coupled with a relatively comprehensive welfare system, no doctor would worry about retirement unless it involves prohibited activities.

……

Time flies.

A week passed like a dream.

November 1st arrived in the blink of an eye.

Thursday was a workday, but not Fang Ziye's workday. It was Fang Ziye's first day of leave after being discharged from the hospital!
At 8:30 a.m., after Fang Ziye finished his last shift on October 31, Wang Yuanqi came from the Trauma Center to the department to take his shift. He officially put on his 'Chief Resident of Trauma Surgery' badge and took over the chief resident's office where Fang Ziye had lived for half a year.

There's also a refrigerator, snacks, drinks...

After leaving the orthopedic building, Fang Ziye felt extremely relaxed, as if the warm sun had returned to the earth after a cold winter!

Fang Ziye immediately messaged Luo Tingzhu, who had also applied for a month's leave: "Tingzhu, I'm going to see some professors off at the airport!"

"You should eat breakfast first!"

Luo Tingzhu didn't reply immediately; she was probably sleeping.

Fang Ziye then went to the Wanda Hotel where the professors had returned to stay and contacted them via WeChat.

At around 8:50, Fang Ziye encountered Yuan Weihong, who had arrived in a Mercedes-Benz.

Today, in addition to these professors leaving, Yuan Weihong will also be leaving Wuhan once again.

Fang Ziye waited at the hotel entrance: "Master, Jie Han and Tian Luo have been kept behind by Senior Brother Wang Yuanqi to learn the rules, so I'll be the only one seeing you off today."

Yuan Weihong smiled and said, "Okay, you can drive the car back later!"

“Ziye, this time, Professor Brandon and the others have a very good impression of you, although you have some differences in your ideas and choices.”

"But overall, the exchange was very pleasant. Professor Brandon and the others asked me to convey their gratitude to you!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye gritted his teeth and said, "Master, the timing of the professors' arrival this time coincided with the seminar. I was so nervous that I almost died."

"Mayo!~"

"A legendary land."

Yuan Weihong stood with his arms crossed, waiting for the professors at the front desk, and asked, "And then what happens after we meet?"

Fang Ziye thought about it seriously for a moment: "Mayo Hospital is also made of flesh and blood. Every country's medical system has its own characteristics, but they all lead to the same goal!"

"As long as we don't fall below Mayo's average, I think we can compete with them at the peak!" Fang Ziye said frankly.

Sometimes, the unknown is terrifying.

Mayo Clinic is undoubtedly top-notch. Many hospitals in China, even those affiliated with Peking Union Medical College Hospital and West China Hospital, are on average compared to them!

This is not self-deprecation.

However, when it comes to the overall quality of treatment from the clinical teams, the difference between top-tier teams may not be that great!

Yuan Weihong touched his higher forehead and more prominent bald spot. After seeing the three professors get off the elevator as a group, he patted Fang Ziye's head and said, "Ziye, you've grown up."

“Professor Fang, you’ve grown too!” Yuan Weihong added.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye suddenly felt a lump in his throat and his nose sting.

The word that corresponds to "growing up" is definitely "getting old".

Not only is Yuan Weihong getting older, but his parents are also getting older, and Deng Yong and the others are all getting older.

Moreover, in any area of ​​growth, one's abilities are always relatively slightly inferior to those of others!

"Master..." Fang Ziye broke down immediately.

"You're such a grown-up, why are you still crying like that!"

“Who knows, by the time I get back, you’ll already be leading a team. Will you still be calling me ‘Master’ in front of your subordinates?” Yuan Weihong suddenly seemed to have a more open-minded attitude.

"Your master doesn't have much more to teach you, whether it's your profession, skills, career planning, or outlook on life."

“Ziye, you’ve already surpassed your master in standing taller. As long as you don’t blame your master for being incompetent, that’s fine!” Yuan Weihong said.

Unlike parents who watch their children grow up and then leave to pursue their dreams, students don't necessarily leave you as they grow up; they can stay right beside you.

Then, step by step, their wings harden, and step by step, they even surpass your achievements, reaching a new peak and constantly replacing you...

What you need to do is stay by their side and help them age gradually.

……

Fang Ziye would definitely not cry. Even if he was very moved, it was not appropriate for two grown men to cry.

Enduring it all, Fang Ziye sat in the back seat and headed to the airport in Han City with the other three professors.

Along the way, several professors continued to talk to Fang Ziye about the future of limb salvage surgery, possible directions for improvement, and everything else that could be discussed.

After Fang Ziye escorted several people into the boarding gate of the waiting room, Yuan Weihong and the others reluctantly joined the queue inside.

As Professor Brandon turned around, he emphasized, "Dr. Fang, I look forward to seeing you again at the international academic conference. We can discuss things together then."

"Explore everything we want to know."

Fang Ziye nodded to him: "I'm really looking forward to that day."

He waved, shook his head, said goodbye, and watched the group leave.

As Fang Ziye drove back, he felt as if he were in a dream.

It seems I haven't stepped down from my position as chief resident yet; I'm still just a nobody.

It seems that his teacher, Yuan Weihong, also did not return to China.

It seems that Professor Brandon and his companions had never been to China, let alone a city called Han City, let alone Zhongnan Hospital.

It was all a dream.

After this dream ends, everything becomes reality.

After six months of extremely intense work, Fang Ziye, who was suddenly on leave, still felt somewhat lost!

It felt like my whole being had become empty.

"It's not until you fall that you fly,

When your dreams come alive…”

The phone on the car phone holder rang. Fang Ziye looked up and saw that it was from Associate Professor Xie Jinyuan.

After glancing around and seeing that there was little traffic, Fang Ziye slowed down his car quickly, gripped the steering wheel with one hand, and selected to answer the call and broadcast the message!

"Good morning, Teacher Xie!" Fang Ziye's tone was relaxed and cheerful.

Damn it, you're on vacation and you're still basking in the emotions of parting with Yuan Weihong with outsiders. What are people at work supposed to think?
Xie Jinyuan's voice suddenly became exceptionally deep: "Ziye, I have a rather special patient here. He came specifically for you."

"Would you like to come and take a look?"

"I know you're on vacation, but I've decided to bother you anyway!"

"This is a firefighter who is in a semi-retired state after a disaster relief operation..."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye felt a slight tightening in his heart.

After a full five seconds of silence, he asked, "Teacher Xie, could you please tell me the specifics?"

Xie Jinyuan then recounted the basic information of the outpatient who had come to the trauma center for elective treatment.

Fang Ziye nodded and said, "Teacher Xie, let's leave it at that for now. I'll come and take a look, but I can't give you an answer yet."

“It’s alright, he’s right here. He said he’s willing to wait for you,” Xie Jinyuan replied.

"right?"

"Thank you for waiting, Dr. Fang. I didn't know you were on vacation before I came!" came a rather hoarse young man's voice.

I heard that his throat was burned and his vocal cords were damaged, making it very difficult for him to speak now!
After Fang Ziye finished answering, he muttered under his breath, "Fang Ziye, you're a damn bastard."

"You're on vacation and you still can't stop causing trouble. Why did you even bother with this?"

Of course, despite the complaints, people should still take their regular vacations!

Fang Ziye was determined to fulfill his promise to visit the place.
