Chapter 532: There are no empty warriors under the great reputation

After carefully examining the surgical field, Fang Ziye took the scalpel, drew a line in the field with the back of the scalpel, and then returned the scalpel.

He said, "Professor Zhou, what I mean is, it might be better to open it from here. I don't mean to take out a knife."

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, and Fang Ziye's understanding of this saying is becoming increasingly profound.

First, my understanding and perspective have broadened; second, I have a wider range of contacts; and third, I increasingly feel that everyone's energy is truly limited.

The two most important basic skills in trauma surgery are debridement and hemostasis, while the fundamental basic skills in hand surgery are incision and suturing.

Although surprised, Fang Ziye still discovered that Professor Zhou Yan's basic skills in incision were actually a tiny bit better than his own!

Fang Ziye was very surprised. You know, his current incision skill is level 5, 5000/500000, but Professor Zhou Yan's incision skill is still a little bit better than his.

At first glance, Fang Ziye was shocked, but upon closer consideration, he became calm.

Every bit of experience is an improvement, and even those without their own panel have a chance to reach level 6.

For an ordinary person to advance from level 1 to level 6, it would require at least 60,000 experience points. If Professor Zhou Yan, at the age of 34, still couldn't reach level 5 with over 5000 experience points, he would probably be dead by the time he reached level 6!
This can be calculated. Even if Professor Zhou Yan only started practicing the basics at the age of 26, he has been immersed in it for more than seven years. If he can't even master one-sixth of it in seven years, then he may never reach level 6 in his lifetime.

That's talent. Some people spend six or seven years and still can't even reach a progress of 500.

It would be quite an exaggeration to say that someone who is highly praised by Professor Teng Qinghe, Chairman of the Chinese Society of Hand Surgery, would have no talent at all.

“Professor Zhou, your basic skills are better than mine,” Fang Ziye said.

However, Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "Professor Fang, you don't need to be so polite. You are the most suitable person to come for this patient's condition. You have also performed many surgeries to relieve stiffness in a single limb."

"Relaxation techniques not only require skillful incision, but also skillful debridement, with debridement being the most important!"

"You believe me!"

Seeing Professor Zhou Yan's sincere gaze, Fang Ziye stopped arguing, picked up the scalpel, and began the actual release based on his understanding of functional rehabilitation surgery.

After limb stiffness occurs, the most difficult and crucial step is to loosen the muscles.

Furthermore, Fang Ziye knew that the release he was experiencing today was different from the release he had experienced during the functional reconstruction surgery at Zhongnan Hospital.

If we had to make an analogy, it would be like going to Kyoto, which can be reached in many ways.

If time isn't a concern, a bus is also an option!

If you want to enjoy the scenery along the way, you can also take the bus.

If you're in a hurry, high-speed rail is a good option; if it's extremely urgent, air travel is the most convenient.

This is assuming the destination is the same.

Now, the ultimate goal of the surgery is different, so we need to be more careful during the debridement process!
However, Fang Ziye dared to take the knife because he had some confidence.

Last night's conversation with Professor Zhou Yan led Fang Ziye to point out the importance of functional rehabilitation techniques.

With Level 1, you also have Level 4 proficiency!

The reason it can't be too high is because Fang Ziye hasn't yet reached the threshold of Level 5 in Breakthrough Functional Rehabilitation Techniques.

Based on the breakthrough experience of Functional Reconstruction Technique, once you obtain it, the upper limit is level 4, 500/500!

而后是5级0/0，才再是5级5000/5000！

This panel might be a kind of surreal 'cheat code' based on a real-world system.

You can't quickly create something from nothing; without meeting the prerequisites, you don't even qualify to get started.

When Fang Ziye was making his move, Professor Zhou Yan on the other side was surprised for a moment!

Zhou Yan had watched Fang Ziye's surgery live, so he was well aware of Fang Ziye's skill level.

However, this time, Fang Ziye's operating principles and concepts are different from the last time.

This change baffled Professor Zhou Yan.

well known-

When people do the same thing with different purposes, the way it is expressed will inevitably be different!

In today's society, everyone is trying to make a living. If it's just about having enough to eat, and you have land and fields back home, you can achieve your basic needs through hard work.

If you want to earn more money, then you can't just farm at home anymore. Or you can farm, but you must farm in a commercial way, such as in greenhouses.

Either go to work or start a business; these three options are much better than farming at home!
If you're just looking to make your family's life a little better, then you have to choose the one with the higher salary!
But if you aspire to great wealth and status, then I'm sorry, you'll have to work hard to improve your skills and become a highly skilled worker, or you'll have to become your own boss...

The purpose of functional reconstruction surgery is simply to give patients who have no function some function, no matter how much, as long as they can cope with normal life.

The purpose of functional rehabilitation is to enable people who have some function but whose function is incomplete or insufficient to regain more function, so that they can reach their previous level or 90% of their previous level.

In this process, if you don't do a good job at any step, all your efforts will be in vain. This technique requires a higher level of control over the details of the operation and a higher overall concept!
After Fang Ziye had completely opened the gap in the brachioradialis muscle, Professor Zhou Yan took a short break and said, "I really didn't expect it! Professor Fang, you actually have a certain level of expertise in functional rehabilitation techniques."

"Professor Fang, are you sure you're not a hand surgeon?"

“Professor Fang’s language last night was still rather tactful.” Zhou Yan also expressed his shock and disbelief in a rather tactful tone.

Fang Ziye smiled at Professor Zhou Yan: "Professor Zhou, I am a trauma surgeon, not a hand surgeon, so I dare not presume to teach you."

"When performing functional reconstruction surgery, I did think about these issues, but some concepts and principles were not mature enough, so I didn't dare to speak out!"

Fang Ziye only explained for two sentences before getting back into the operation.

Upon reaching this point, Director Huang Yulin softly remarked, "Professor Zhou, this Professor Fang you're talking about is indeed extraordinary!"

"Judging from his skills, he's no less skilled than you were at your age!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye raised his eyelids slightly!

Then the operation continued.

Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "Director Huang, you overestimate me. When I was Professor Fang's age, I didn't understand how to use concepts to guide operations. Instead, I used operations to drive my concepts."

"Don't say anything yet!"

Zhou Yan, acting as Huang Yulin's superior, suppressed the sounds from the operating room.

……

After Luo Tingzhu entered the operating room, she didn't actually have a chance to do anything.

They were either discussing and learning with Professor Xu Long, or carefully observing Fang Ziye's operations, thus gaining more insights.

If Luo Tingzhu wanted to be complacent, she could have already been complacent in the field of anesthesia!

Her skill in motor-sensory separation anesthesia alone is enough to make her a VIP in most hospitals!
The key anesthesia technique for functional reconstruction surgery is dissociative anesthesia, which allows patients to interact with doctors during the procedure.

Such tangible benefits are something that many hand surgeons in hospitals crave when seeking cooperation.

In China, the status of anesthesiologists in many hospitals may be lower than that of surgeons!

In fact, anesthesiologists have a higher status than surgeons!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's the core of surgery!
"I wonder if there will be any interaction issues after Professor Fang anesthetized this surgery!"

"If this can still happen, then it can only mean that Professor Fang's abilities are simply incredible," Professor Xu Long said in a low voice as he ate melon with Luo Tingzhu.

The main job of anesthesiologists is to safeguard the lives of patients, and also to provide a better operating environment for surgeons.

However, the quality of the surgery ultimately depends on the surgeon's skill.

For more patients, functional reconstruction surgery progresses from initial procedures to more advanced procedures.

This patient's functional reconstruction surgery was a complete transformation from nothing!

From having more information, you can assess where the patient needs anesthesia and where they don't. But from having nothing, you don't even know where they need anesthesia!
It's not even possible to determine whether the function exists; Professors Fang Ziye and Zhou Yan will need to conduct temporary explorations during the surgery based on the patient's nerve activity!
This means there are even more unknowns.

However, Luo Tingzhu did not answer Professor Xu Long's question, but said, "Professor Xu, Senior Brother Fang is currently undergoing a nerve exploration. This kind of nerve exploration for functional insufficiency may be very useful for our future nerve block anesthesia."

Luo Tingzhu stood with her hands hanging down, her mind filled with other thoughts.

Xu Long glanced at Shu Ye, then narrowed his eyes and touched his large earlobe with his right hand: "Xiao Luo, you don't have any new ideas, do you?"

"Nerve block anesthesia anatomy," Luo Tingzhu replied softly, having studied the text carefully.

But after speaking, Luo Tingzhu and Xu Long turned their heads at the same time, their faces facing each other.

Luo Tingzhu frowned, her eyebrows furrowing as if she were somewhat annoyed.

Xu Long's sharp eyebrows were like peaks, and his heavy breathing made his mask stick up. "I, I..."

"you."

Xu Long was at a loss for words.

You say Luo Tingzhu is arrogant, wanting to get fat in one bite? She's done that before, and she succeeded.

Local sensorimotor dissociation anesthesia was developed with the help of her young boyfriend.

But writing a book, explaining a highly specialized textbook on nerve block anesthesia? Is that really something a young woman in her early twenties could do?

Xu Long couldn't really complain!
Because Luo Tingzhu really does have such an opportunity. After all, she can often observe the operations of a top surgeon, and she has the opportunity to gain more knowledge than others.

Xu Long looked at Fang Ziye—

Young people lack martial ethics.

Then look at Luo Tingzhu.

The little girl has no sense of martial ethics at all!

……

Time flew by, and nearly four hours had passed; it was now 12:46 PM.

After Fang Ziye cleaned the "pendants" of the muscles, blood vessels, and nerves that were "not sticky," he took a break from the stage and let Huang Yulin clean and classify the nerves and blood vessels on stage!

This surgery is too advanced for Huang Yulin to handle any invasive procedures at the moment, but cleaning and sorting are not considered invasive procedures.

Luo Tingzhu had already eaten in the operating room's canteen long ago!
Therefore, the only ones who stepped down immediately were Fang Ziye and Zhou Yan, along with several other associate chief physicians from Yueyang Central Hospital.

As they walked side-by-side into the locker room, Zhou Yan removed his mask, his handsome face slightly twitching: "Professor Fang, your understanding of this functional reconstruction procedure doesn't seem like someone without prior experience."

"Did you keep something from me last night just so you could laugh at me?"

Fang Ziye shook his head: "Professor Zhou, you've misunderstood. I absolutely did not mean that."

"Professor Zhou, your ideas and understanding are already well-established. If I were to interrupt you, it might disrupt your train of thought!"

Fang Ziye felt a little guilty, but he didn't need to explain too much to Zhou Yan now.

Isn't it normal for an associate professor or associate chief physician to have some expertise?

"After today's surgery, we must go to the coffee shop again and chat for a while longer."

"It's a deal then!" Zhou Yan, adhering to the principle of not wanting to be taken advantage of, was determined to squeeze every last drop out of Fang Ziye!
Zhou Yan wasn't very old, and her tone was somewhat cute at the moment, so Fang Ziye seemed unable to refuse.

He nodded and said, "Professor Zhou, let's do it tonight then. We have to leave tomorrow."

"Brothers, Professor Zhou Yan is still the lead surgeon for today's operation!"

"That's for sure!"

"And it doesn't matter if it's Professor Fang or not. At 9:20 this morning, our hospital's medical affairs department contacted your hospital's medical affairs department and completed the registration for cross-regional practice consultation!" A deputy chief physician of similar age to Zhou Yan said in a flattering tone.

In prefecture-level city hospitals, it is very easy to get promoted to associate senior level; there is basically no competition.

However, they are basically unable to be promoted to associate professor.

Zhou Yan said, "Professor Fang, let me be frank with you. If I hadn't happened to run into you, I really wouldn't have known that functional reconstruction surgery requires this."

"So, debridement techniques can be understood and advanced to this level through one's own philosophy! ~"

"I've really broadened my horizons. If this weren't the real world, I would definitely suspect you're cheating!" Zhou Yan even rubbed his hair to calm himself down.

Professor Zhou Yan is 33 years old now, and his abilities are actually very, very strong.

However, he is not yet well-known in Central China, overshadowed by the heroic spirit of Liu Huanglong, a hand surgeon.

The youngest professor, recipient of numerous awards such as Outstanding Young Scientist...

In fact, Professor Zhou Yan's basic skills and operational abilities are superior to Liu Huanglong's.

Zhou Yan just didn't have a good father-in-law.

Fang Ziye said, "Professor Zhou is alright. He has some reputation, so he must have some ability, otherwise he would just be seeking fame and fortune."

"It hasn't even been a few days, and it's already collapsed in front of you, Professor Zhou. Isn't that incredibly embarrassing?"

Fang Ziye stopped being modest, because Zhou Yan was also a straightforward person; he wasn't modest, and was even quite confident.

Fang Ziye is the same kind of person as him; being too humble makes him seem a bit fake.

"There are no empty warriors under such a great reputation!"

"Let's eat," Zhou Yan said.

……

It was 3:29 PM.

After Fang Ziye and Zhou Yan finished performing a nerve transplant, Fang Ziye said, "Brother, wake up, you're not asleep, are you?"

"Doctor, what do you say?!" The young man lying on the table was suddenly slapped by Fang Ziye and became extremely nervous.

“Move your hands the way you used to,” Fang Ziye said.

"I can't move?" the young man said.

Fang Ziye replied, "You just need to have the idea to take action, and then act according to your own understanding. Whether you succeed or not doesn't matter!"

The young man did as instructed.

Half a minute later, he said somewhat discouragedly, "I still can't move!"

However, it wasn't Fang Ziye who answered him, but Professor Zhou Yan: "Don't speak!"

"Professor Zhou, please don't be mean to me, I really can't move." The young man said, feeling wronged.

Seeing that the two were almost arguing, and noticing the inexplicably shocked look in Professor Zhou Yan's eyes, Huang Yulin quickly explained, "Yu Yousheng, you can move, you just can't see it yet."

"Your middle and ring fingers are already bent, and the range of motion is very good."

"Keep moving! The reason you can't feel anything is because your sense of pain and touch have been anesthetized!" Huang Yulin's tone was cheerful, but his mind was completely blank.

Wait, no!

Guys!

Dads!?
god?
Is this how you do things in modern medicine?
It's a miracle that you've restored the function of a completely non-functional hand. You really didn't listen to the patient's nonsense and reconstructed the function back to before the injury, did you?
You're going to be sent to the Chinese Academy of Sciences for live dissection!

Huang Yulin had never witnessed truly amazing functional reconstruction surgery before, so he was extremely shocked to see such immediate surgical results this time.

And what about the anesthesia technique? What kind of anesthesia technique is this?
When Huang Yulin looked at Dou Yun, the director of the anesthesiology department, Dou Yun was completely stunned!

To use a popular analogy, it's like Yueyang Central Hospital, a top-tier hospital in a prefecture-level city, being subjected to a super-dimensional reduction attack from an unknown universe.

This is no longer a technological superiority; it has even crushed their minds into soy milk on a cognitive level!
"Alright, alright, Yu Yousheng, right? Stop moving."

"The initial functional reconstruction of the middle and ring fingers is showing promising results so far, and the transmission pathway of the ulnar nerve is also something to look forward to!" Fang Ziye replied in relatively professional terms.

Yu Yousheng's mouth trembled, unable to express his excitement, and he stammered, "Really, really can move?"

"Really, really?" His voice was trembling.

"After your surgery, see for yourself. Don't sleep yet, I'll need your cooperation later!" Fang Ziye instructed.

"I'll cooperate, I'll cooperate!" Yu Yousheng spoke rapidly, as if Fang Ziye would fly off the stage if he didn't answer.

"I'll cooperate in any position!" Yu Yousheng couldn't find the words, so he simply said it out loud.

Fang Ziye smiled upon hearing this, sensing the patient's excitement and happiness: "Then go home and ask your wife to cooperate!"

"Professor Zhou, let's continue!"

"You can handle the restoring of the function of the little finger and index finger. I'll rest for a while and then I'll work on the wrist function later!" Fang Ziye said.

Zhou Yan nodded upon hearing this.

In a surgery, the surgeon cannot perform all the procedures alone, otherwise he would be exhausted.

The surgery has lasted for six and a half hours, excluding the half-hour lunch break. It's perfectly normal for Fang Ziye to be a little tired.

Zhou Yan took the knife, squinted his eyes for a while, and then began the debridement and reconstruction techniques, learning from Fang Ziye's previous operating methods and some concepts!
There was a reason why Fang Ziye dared to hand over the scalpel.

First, it was Professor Zhou Yan's confidence; second, it was because of Professor Zhou Yan's words.

A great reputation is never undeserved. If Professor Zhou Yan didn't truly have the ability, he absolutely couldn't have persuaded Professor Teng Qinghe to endorse him!

Even selling your ass won't work!

Professors Tang Fupei and Yu Bing of the Chinese Society of Trauma Surgery did not praise Deng Yong highly, but were only quite polite to Fang Ziye.

In their eyes, strength comes first.

You don't have the ability to make them feel that you can be on equal footing. Whether you are a department head or a university professor, who doesn't have a department head or a university professor in their family?

Even a regular professor from Peking Union Medical College Hospital couldn't make a difference!
Even professors of average ability from abroad are no match for them!
In a place like Yueyang Central Hospital, your status and position are enough to earn respect, but at a certain level, empty titles are useless; what matters is real ability.

The prerequisite is that you have to transcend the ordinary level and reach that platform level!
Fang Ziye broke through the barrier only by chance.

If it weren't for Zu Haiguo and several top figures in China, such as Gu Yuandong and Qiu Zhenghua, how could Fang Ziye have broken into the mainstream so quickly?
Of course, although Professor Zhou Yan wanted to learn, he was still very conscientious. After spending more than forty minutes reconstructing the function of his little finger, he put down the knife!
After another interaction with Yu Yousheng, the sharp-eyed Professor Zhou Yan discovered that his reconstructed function was almost one dimension worse than Fang Ziye's.

Although it's just a difference between 85 degrees and 90 degrees of functional activity, in the eyes of top doctors, this is a huge difference!

"Professor Fang, have you rested enough? How about you take over the reconstruction of your thumb and index finger?"

"Faster and better quality!" Zhou Yan said.

Zhou Yan's words surprised Fang Ziye and the others, who couldn't help but glance at Fang Ziye again.

It took courage for Zhou Yan to frankly admit that Fang Ziye was better than him and that he himself hadn't done as well as Yu Yousheng!

However, Professor Zhou Yan's courage and confidence come from his own strength in gathering resources.

Fang Ziye nodded and then took over the surgery himself.
The surgery continues!

With the previous success, the subsequent surgeries became slightly simpler; at least in terms of procedures, there was no more hesitation.

At 5:40 p.m., the functional reconstruction of all five fingers was completed.

Fang Ziye even made some repairs to the little finger after Professor Zhou Yan's reconstruction surgery, and salvaged some of its mobility.

At 7:30, the wrist joint's internal and external rotation functions were restored.

At 8:40, the functional reconstruction of the wrist joint was completed.

At 9:59, all the surgeries were completed...

Fang Ziye and Zhou Yanqing immediately stepped down from the stage and left.

This was a perfect surgery. Even though the final function may not reach the level of the patient's pre-operative condition, it is a miracle that the patient could recover to this extent from such a chaotic state!

It is another major breakthrough and miracle in the field of hand surgery!

Seeing Yu Yousheng's hands bound tightly with sterile gauze and bandages, Huang Yulin said, "Yu Yousheng, you're really lucky!"

"Whether it's Professor Zhou or Professor Fang, they can both be called miracle doctors. It's not an exaggeration at all."

During the surgery, Yu Yousheng was informed which functions of his body had been restored, although he was not able to reach his peak condition.

But at this moment, Yu Yousheng's eyes were already brimming with tears: "Thank you, thank you Director Huang, thank you Director Dou, thank you both professors."

"I'll definitely thank them in person tomorrow!"

Huang Yulin said, "Yu Yousheng, then we can't wait until tomorrow. Today is Saturday."

"Professor Zhou is going back to Shashi tonight, and Professor Fang will be leaving by boat tomorrow morning. He's here for tourism."

Yu Yousheng was taken aback upon hearing this, and somewhat flustered: "Are both professors in such a hurry to leave? Won't they come to see me?"

Then he quickly explained, "What I mean is, it would be good if they took a second look, since it's the weekend anyway?"

"I want to thank them in person!"

Yu Yousheng wasn't upset that the two men were big names and left after the surgery; rather, he was worried that he wouldn't have a chance to thank them in person.

They heard him thanking them on the operating table, but he hoped even more that he could recognize the two of them.

During their brief encounter in the operating room, Fang Ziye and Zhou Yan were both wearing masks, so he couldn't see their faces.

"They have received your thanks. The two professors did not perform the surgery just because of your thanks."

“I’ve already tried to persuade them, but both professors’ schedules are indeed full.”

"Just focus on your recovery. We'll try our best to provide you with more rehabilitation guidance." Huang Yulin had no other choice.

Not to mention seeing Yu Yousheng tomorrow, Professor Zhou Yan and Professor Fang Ziye and the others didn't even eat the dinner that they had arranged!

……

At the hospital entrance, Professor Zhou Yan glanced at his watch and said, "Professor Fang, it is indeed getting late. It's a real pity we can't have a long talk any longer."

"I have another surgery in Huai City tomorrow, and I have to drive there."

"Professor Fang, would it be convenient for us to have a meal together?"

Xu Long said, "Then you guys get busy. My high-speed train is about to arrive, and I'm too lazy to change my ticket. I have a ton of things to do in my department!"

"Xiao Luo, once your book is published, please make sure I get to read it a few times," Xu Long said with a smile.

Luo Tingzhu felt a little embarrassed. She hadn't told Fang Ziye about these plans yet, but Xu Long had revealed them to her.

Luo Tingzhu said, "Teacher Xu, I'll have to trouble you to give me some pointers then."

Xu Long probably had something to do, so he left directly.

It would be strange if the head of the anesthesiology department had nothing to do all day.

After watching Xu Long get into the taxi, Fang Ziye replied, "Professor Zhou, if you have other plans, please go ahead and take care of them. We'll arrange our own meal and then wander around a bit."

"It would be a shame to come to Yue City and not take a look around," Fang Ziye politely declined.

Zhou Yan still had to travel. If he ate with the other party again, he would only be able to get on the highway at night.

"I'm so sorry, Professor Fang, I'm really sorry."

"It's all my fault for giving you time off and causing you such a huge problem..." Professor Zhou Yan said apologetically.

"If this surgery weren't so difficult, I definitely wouldn't have bothered you."

Fang Ziye then said, "Professor Zhou, I have to thank you for giving me the opportunity to earn some extra money!"

The family gave money very directly; the cash was delivered to them by hospital staff immediately after the surgery.

She didn't take Luo Tingzhu's share, but she gave it all to Fang Ziye, totaling over 30,000.

Zhou Yan accepted it openly and honestly.

Hearing that the expense could be reimbursed, Fang Ziye wasn't embarrassed at all!

Earning a living through one's own abilities, without stealing or robbing, and having made the decision beforehand, there's nothing one can't take.

"Professor Fang, where are you and your sister-in-law going? Would you like a ride?" Zhou Yan pointed in the direction of his car.

"No need, no need, Professor Zhou, please continue with your work!"

"There's really no need to be so polite. Being too polite would just make things feel awkward," Fang Ziye said.

Zhou Yan was a carefree person; he nodded, waved, and left.

However, while Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu were taking a taxi, they received another WeChat message from Professor Zhou Yan.

Four aspects.

First, I want to express my gratitude; second, I want to thank the patient on behalf of the patient; third, I want to express my respect; and fourth, I want to arrange to meet at COA so that we can have a good chat.

Fang Ziye got into the car first, and then sent a long message in reply.

After politely thanking Professor Zhou Yan for his guidance, he agreed to chat with him again next time.

……

"Where do we go now? What should we eat?" Fang Ziye asked.

"Spicy hot pot, I just checked, the spicy hot pot in Hunan province is really delicious. Or we could go eat lobster, but the lobsters are very thin this season, so hot pot is better." Luo Tingzhu had done her research thoroughly.

Fang Ziye hesitated slightly upon hearing this: "You? Mala Xiangguo?"

Is it appropriate to have such strong flavors during menstruation?
"As long as it's not cold, okay?" Luo Tingzhu pleaded.

Fang Ziye couldn't take it anymore at that time.

Who says Luo Tingzhu can't act cute? She just isn't very good at it, but once she starts acting cute...

A soft, gentle tone, soft humming, and a yearning look in her eyes.

“I’ll go!” Fang Ziye agreed.

The two of them first ate hot pot, ordering it slightly spicy and numbing, then deposited some money, checked out the popular street, and returned to the hotel.

Lying in bed, Fang Ziye smiled as he sorted through the messages.

Luo Tingzhu came out wearing a long-sleeved bathrobe, drying her wet hair: "Senior brother, what are you laughing at?"

"The article has been published!" Fang Ziye said.

Luo Tingzhu paused in rubbing her hair and asked, "Senior brother, where did you publish your article? Is it still in JAMA?"

Fang Ziye shook his head: "No, it's BMJ. The editorial department of BMJ's main journal contacted me a while ago and insisted that I submit an article, saying that they wanted to make friends."

"I figured the two magazines were about the same level, so I agreed."

"I submitted it last week, and it's been approved this week!" Fang Ziye said.

Luo Tingzhu rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

"Senior brother, if you say that out loud, you might get beaten up!!"

"The impact factor of BMJ seems to be higher than that of JAMA now."

"Senior brother, it's truly remarkable that you can publish your clinical surgical skills in such a journal," Luo Tingzhu said with some envy.

Fang Ziye is a true pioneer, with all his research being clinical innovations and major breakthroughs. As a result, his publications are becoming increasingly high-end!
With Fang Ziye's current achievements, he could easily become a National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholar or be selected as a Yangtze River Scholar by the education system.

It's not impossible for him to even become an academician directly.

However, the title of academician is sometimes not directly linearly related to your scientific research contributions!
But for the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars and the Yangtze River Scholar program, as long as you are academically outstanding, there is no possibility that you cannot get in.

The academician system is based on a candidate system; only when a vacancy arises can someone fill the position.

Of course, it's too early to talk about these things now; Fang Ziye is only twenty-nine years old.

Currently, the youngest recipient of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars in China is 35 years old, two years younger than Liu Huanglong!

He was a professor at 30, an Outstanding Young Scientist at 32, and a Distinguished Young Scientist at 35.

Fang Ziye definitely won't get a professorship by the age of thirty. Medical professorships aren't easy to obtain, but he might have a chance with the Excellent Young Scientist award!
"Senior, how much research reward can you expect this year? Will the hospital change its research reward system for you?" Luo Tingzhu suddenly asked, sounding a bit greedy.

It's already November. After December, it will be time for hospitals and schools to settle research rewards.

Fang Ziye asked, "What do you think?"

"Schools and hospitals are eager for us to publish more articles so they can improve our rankings."

"I'm actually not too bad off. I just submitted some key articles to top journals, and published some minor results in sub-journals!"

"The impact factor isn't particularly high either. To sum it up, it should be around three or four million!" Fang Ziye said calmly.

This is one of the legitimate sources of income that researchers can earn.

The objective standards are there; if you can post, then post. Once you post, the money is yours!

No one will dare to steal it from you!

“However, we will definitely have to divide this money among ourselves,” Fang Ziye said.

"That's a lot!"

“I think we might even be able to pay for both houses in full next year!” Luo Tingzhu sat down next to Fang Ziye and started calculating seriously, her eyes already narrowed into a greedy look.

Fang Ziye smiled and said, "Yes, I think so too."

"We'll analyze the specific situation when the time comes. After we get back, I should go and get a car, otherwise it's not very convenient to always take taxis."

"If we had a car this time, we could have gone on a road trip."

"It's actually quite poignant to think about it now. Just two years ago, I was worried about whether I could get a doctorate. At this time last year, I was still thinking about whether I could get a talent introduction visa and about making a down payment."

"Now all of these problems have been solved naturally."

"For poor families like mine, education is truly one of the few shortcuts available."

Reading really can change your destiny!

Fang Ziye has believed this since he was a child.

Luo Tingzhu stood up, walked to the dressing mirror, and said while drying her hair, "So, senior brother, no matter what choice you make in the future, I will support you."

"My thought is that as long as I don't starve, I can have a little bit of wealth, and I can do what I like, that's good enough."

The intelligent Luo Tingzhu probably already knew something, even though Fang Ziye hadn't told her.

Fang Ziye glanced at Luo Tingzhu, and was about to speak when...
Professor Zhou Yan called, and Fang Ziye said, "Let me take this call first."

After the call connected, Professor Zhou Yan's voice was somewhat gruff: "Professor Fang, I need to apologize to you first!"

"md!"

"Huh? What?" Fang Ziye was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Professor Fang, I'm really sorry, I really didn't know that the people at Yueyang Central Hospital would record the surgical procedure."

"Just now, their associate chief physician sent me a video document!"

"I'm resting at the service area now, Professor Fang. Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter properly."

"Seriously, I don't know what they're thinking. As highly educated people, at least with master's degrees, they have absolutely no awareness of copyright!"

"Me!" Professor Zhou Yan said, feeling extremely angry.

The surgery performed today was a new procedure, a functional reconstruction and rehabilitation technique that has never been performed before, and it is the intellectual property of Fang Ziye!
Even though Fang Ziye hasn't registered yet, Professor Zhou Yan finds it pathetic that he, as a fellow professional, lacks even this basic respect for others.

If others can do something but you can't, you have to learn it.

Moreover, any learning beyond higher education comes at a cost.

Fang Ziye's teaching surgical videos are posted on the official website of the Hand Surgery Association, where he can be charged based on the number of views per account.

Here's the funny thing: they recorded a video without Fang Ziye's permission.

If it were only a localized issue, that would be one thing, but there's still a very long stretch to go.

Fang Ziye: "..."

"Professor Zhou, I really don't know about this matter, and I don't know how to handle it."

To be honest, Fang Ziye hasn't realized yet that the actions he took could actually be considered intellectual property and shouldn't be freely disseminated by others.

Previously, Fang Ziye could be freely accessed and used by anyone who wanted to.

"Professor Fang, this matter arose because of me. Don't worry, I will handle it properly!"

"I have experience in handling this!"

"Sorry to bother you, I just wanted to let you know." After saying that, Professor Zhou Yan hung up the phone unilaterally.

Luo Tingzhu was far away; the hairdryer had long been turned off, and now a sharp glint shone in her eyes—

What level is my boyfriend at now?

That is to say, every gesture and movement exudes charm and is also a form of wealth!

This has nothing to do with whether Fang Ziye himself is wealthy or not. Rather, it is because Fang Ziye himself, having reached a certain level of success, is himself an inexhaustible source of wealth.

That's how self-made millionaires are made!

"Swish, swish, swish." Luo Tingzhu chuckled and restarted the hair dryer.

Professor Zhou had already expressed her support for Fang Ziye, and given Professor Zhou Yan's status, her words carried even more weight, so she didn't need to say anything more.

Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu looked at each other and then both laughed.

However, this pleasant time didn't last long before it was interrupted by a new phone call—
