Chapter 553 Treat others with your true heart (Please subscribe)
Qu Tangwei was about to make a phone call when Fang Ziye quickly stopped him, saying, "Professor Qu, don't worry, the situation has changed, and the surgery has been postponed until after the holiday."

"Focus on technique, not speed."

“The current situation does not match previous information, and I need to check some more information,” Fang Ziye explained.

Qu Tangwei grinned, his brows furrowed, and after calming himself down, he said in a low voice, "Professor Fang, I'm really sorry, I also overlooked this."

"Professor Fang, you're amazing too!"

"My niece had undergone multiple electromyography (EMG) tests before, and all of them showed no abnormalities. Now, only six months have passed since her last test!"

"No one else suspected this, but Professor Fang, you saw the clue at a glance."

"I have to admit, that's some skill!" Qu Tangwei grinned, taking a deep breath.

For a disease that has persisted for many years, many professors tend to think in a fixed way, but Fang Ziye determined that there was a problem with the nervous system based on just two sets of MRI scans.

This competence and decisiveness, along with the skill behind it, is extraordinary.

The specialists his niece used to see at the clinic were not ordinary people; they were all well-known experts and professors in hand surgery!
The hidden dangers that they hadn't noticed during their review of the film were read out by Fang Ziye, proving that it was just an initial sign.

Degenerative changes are chronic and progressive, and are difficult to detect before quantitative changes occur!

"Professor Fang, slow and steady wins the race, there's no rush." ​​Qu Tangwei wanted what was best for his niece, not for her surgery to be scheduled as quickly as possible!
If he just wanted to get things done quickly, he would have sent her to Zhongnan Hospital long ago. Why bother coming all the way to Enshi?

With his connections, getting Liu Huanglong to add a number would be no problem at all.

His niece has this problem, and he also keeps up with the research progress in hand surgery.

"Professor Qu, I'm sorry, I had promised to perform the surgery today, but we still need to respect the established facts." Fang Ziye said somewhat apologetically.

Because making excuses like that would make him seem arrogant.

"That's too much to say, Professor Fang. You don't know how at ease I feel right now."

"Being able to detect abnormalities before surgery is much more reassuring than discovering them after surgery."

"It will just require Professor Fang to put in a lot of effort," Qu Tangwei said.

If he were to put himself in the patient's shoes, and one of his own patients discovered this on the eve of treatment, he would absolutely be furious.

I imagine Fang Ziye's mindset is not much different right now.

……

That afternoon, Fang Ziye expressed his opinion during the discussion on the reconstruction surgery for the complete bone defect of a single lower limb, which was scheduled for the next day.

"Professor Gong, after our preoperative design and discussion of the plan, I believe that you and Professor Fang are capable of performing this surgery."

"When Professor Gong recommended this patient to me before, he must have had some idea of ​​what was going on, right?" Fang Ziye asked with a smile.

Gong Jiahe and Fang Zhikuan are not pushovers; they can't just be thugs!
If all the surgeries in the group depend on Fang Ziye, wouldn't their existence be rendered meaningless?
Reconstruction of a hemipelvis is more difficult than that of a single lower limb with complete bone loss.

Gong Jiahe wouldn't take on too much work for the group that was beyond his capabilities.

Gu Yi was serving tea to everyone else, but when he got to Fang Ziye, he gave him a bottle of coffee, then sat down and looked at Gong Jiahe.

Gong Jiahe's eyelids blinked rapidly, his expression thoughtful. After a full half minute, he gently shook his head and said, "Professor Fang, both Professor Fang and I can do it, but after weighing the options, I think Professor Fang, you would be a better choice to perform the surgery."

Fang Ziye then said, "Professor Gong, if it's a difference of 60 points and 80 points, we can try to improve it. But if it's 90 points and 95 points, there's no need to get too hung up on the details!"

"This time, with the assistance of a medical device company to create individualized bone prosthesis models, I believe that you and Professor Fang will definitely be able to accomplish this."

Theory helps people in the long run.

Tools can help people, right now!
Direct and clear.

Were Gong Jiahe and Fang Zhikuan completely incapable of performing that hemipelvic reconstruction surgery before? Not at all!
It's almost impossible to achieve the same high quality as Fang Ziye.

Because they don't have the advanced prosthetic equipment to assist them, the results they produce are probably only around 60 points.

This time it's different. With the help of individualized prosthesis design, the score can be at least in the eighties.

Fang Ziye couldn't possibly handle all the surgeries in the team; that would be too exhausting!

"Professor Fang, please give your opinion!"

“We are a team. In principle, we are in a cooperative relationship, not a superior-subordinate relationship like in a hospital, right?” Fang Ziye asked.

Fang Zhikuan was a pure specialist doctor, and he was actually somewhat tempted. He looked at Gong Jiahe and said, "Professor Gong, I think we can give it a try."

"It shouldn't be that the surgery was botched."

Everyone needs to improve and be willing to face difficulties.

Now such a great opportunity is before us—

If they can begin working on such complex bone reconstructions based on the new 'prosthetic design', they will have more confidence in the future and will be able to perform such surgeries independently after they return home.

Experienced, knowledgeable, and confident!
Gong Jiahe looked at Fang Ziye, who didn't seem to be joking, and nodded, saying, "Professor Fang, let's give it a try. You can stay by the operating table and give us some pointers to avoid any mishaps."

"Professor Gong, you are too modest. Even if I hadn't come, you and Professor Fang could definitely have handled this surgery."

"So, that concludes all the surgeries our team performed this month."

"We'll communicate about the cases we need to admit after the holiday via mobile phone during the holiday. I have to go back to Wuhan before New Year's Day."

“I had made an appointment with a young patient before, and she would perform a dance at the New Year’s Eve party. I promised to be in the audience,” Fang Ziye said, laying the groundwork once again.

He has brought this up twice already.

Upon hearing Fang Ziye mention it for the third time, Gong Jiahe's curiosity was piqued: "Professor Fang, is this young patient receiving such high treatment? Why are you so concerned about him? Who is he?"

"Relatives?" Everyone else closed their notebooks.

What follows doesn't need to be recorded in my notes; it has absolutely nothing to do with academics.

"They're not relatives. They were my second patient to undergo limb-sparing surgery for severe injuries and my first to undergo functional reconstruction surgery. They were very brave!"

"The confidence boost that this young girl gave us was also very important in enabling our hospital to overcome these two diseases."

"She's recovering quite well right now. She invited me to her follow-up appointment, and I accepted," Fang Ziye explained.

He had promised Yan Chu that he would go to her performance, and he couldn't break his promise; he had to do his best to keep it.

Fang Ziye's plan is that after tomorrow's surgery for a single lower limb total bone defect, if the results are satisfactory, he will first go to see the patient with multiple aneurysms who needs a "remote consultation," and then go directly back to Han City for the holiday. This month, the trauma surgery team's surgical workload is actually not high: pelvic reconstruction, one functional reconstruction, one lower limb shortening deformity bone lengthening surgery, plus tomorrow's total bone reconstruction.

There were only four surgeries in total, which, including the elderly woman, meant there were five patients.

This workload is quite easy.

However, every surgery performed here would be considered a complex or rare disease outside, and each one would require the loss of a great many brain cells.

In the end, things may not even turn out well!

"Is that so? Well then, Professor Fang, see you after the holiday. After the holiday, you'll have to change your name to Team Leader Fang. I look forward to Team Leader Fang leading our trauma surgery and hand surgery teams to greater success." Professor Gong Jiahe gently clasped his hands in a fist salute, completing the handover in a simple manner.

Fang Ziye smiled and said, "Try to do as much as possible!"

"I'll be busier next year. This month is for getting familiar with the environment and the extreme conditions here. I haven't even started basic experiments yet."

"However, I will have to start going back to the lab after the holiday and the New Year, otherwise the days will be wasted."

"Professors, would you like to stay for dinner? Should I order takeout? Or should we go to the cafeteria together?" Fang Ziye asked.

"Let's go to the cafeteria. It's too much trouble to cook for so many people, and the food won't taste as good if we order it back!" Gong Jiahe replied with a smile.

The group then concluded their afternoon discussions and talks.

The group went to the cafeteria, ate dinner, and then went home separately.

Of course, the professors gathered together, probably to play mahjong or chess, while Gu Yi went back to his dormitory!
Because Fang Ziye mentioned that basic experiments would begin after the New Year, he also needed to prepare some things, such as purchasing.

He was mentally prepared to follow Fang Ziye. In reality, if he hadn't made any preparations, he would have just been taking advantage of others without doing anything. Why would Fang Ziye take him under his wing?

After finishing his workout, Fang Ziye was covered in sweat. He rushed back to the villa, took a bath, and then comfortably put on his long-sleeved pajamas before coming to the living room!
Picking up the hairdryer, Fang Ziye walked to the access control area, pressed the door open button, and quickly dried his hair.

"Hello, Director Liang!"

"I was just taking a shower, sorry to have kept you waiting," Fang Ziye said, putting down the hairdryer.

"Professor Fang, I apologize for disturbing you."

Director Liang was carrying a box and showed it to him: "This is tea from my dormitory, local mountain tea. I heard that you like it, Professor Fang, so I'm sharing some with you."

"Professor Fang, I heard from Xiao Dan that you returned the things? Isn't that too polite?"

Fang Ziye invited Director Liang to sit down on the sofa, placed a teacup in his hand, poured him some tea, and then smiled and said, "Director Liang, I agreed to treat those patients, not to replace the roles of Hu Hai and his ilk."

"I appreciate your kindness, Director Liang."

"I appreciate the teachers' kindness, but I don't need it for now. It's just a few surgeries anyway," Fang Ziye replied.

Fang Ziye's current peaceful state of mind is thanks to the guidance and training he received from Academicians Qiu Zhenghua and Gu Yuandong.

A person with a clear conscience fears no slander!

While connections are important for climbing the ladder, if they're mixed with too many other things, it becomes a ticking time bomb.

Fang Ziye's previous desire to break free from the "puppet" position was not to become a behind-the-scenes manipulator, but simply to be a doctor.

If you were to ask whether Fang Ziye had any grudges or disagreements with the patients who sought out Hu Hai and others, that would be completely unfounded.

If Fang Ziye is maliciously angry because these people gave Hu Hai things but not Fang Ziye, then Fang Ziye is no different from Hu Hai.

Fang Ziye doesn't need these people's meddling right now; their help would only make things worse!
Helping others requires careful consideration of the angle and timing, and even who is helping you; all these factors are important.

Director Liang looked Fang Ziye up and down, his gaze sharpening.

"Professor Fang, you are really an interesting person. I really can't tell that you are only in your twenties."

"It seems that Professor Fang, your teachers have all seen a lot in the world." Director Liang's tone suddenly softened.

“Director Liang, we learn by example, and we see the world differently when there is no example. I’m lucky, and I have many mentors who have guided me. So, no matter what others think of me, whether they call me arrogant or whatever, I don’t care.”

"I won't give up when there's profit to be made, and I won't try to get involved when there's no profit to be made."

“At this point in time, it’s no longer a period for my business to rise rapidly. Therefore, I need more time to mature, rather than starting a fire without proper preparation.”

"Why climb a ladder without roots?"

Taking advantage of a hot iron and starting a fire when there is no iron are two different concepts.

"Treating and saving lives should not become a transaction or a one-way channel! It should be a matter of mutual consent, where you need it, I can provide it, and we click. That kind of medical care is more genuine," Fang Ziye said.

Deng Yong once asked Fang Ziye whether he wanted to become an academician doctor or a people's doctor, and Fang Ziye chose the latter!
Fang Ziye still thinks this way.

Fang Ziye dared not stray from his path or his true intentions, because he feared he might lose control of himself. If he set a precedent this time, his Dao heart would become unstable in the future.

For example, this time, he was too extreme in dealing with these patients who "came to his aid" because he lost his temper. In the future, if he encounters a patient who "offends" him, he will retaliate during surgery or treatment!
This crossed Fang Ziye's bottom line, and also the bottom line of a doctor.

If Fang Ziye took the goods this time and treated it as a transaction!
So in the future, when Fang Ziye treats patients, will he think, "I've already performed surgery on you, aren't you going to give me anything in return?"

I'll kill you!
Fang Ziye wasn't sure he couldn't do it, so he simply decided not to start.

A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest.

This is also the worldview that Fang Ziye has honed himself, based on his own experiences and understanding, and has nothing to do with anything else.

Things may change in the future, but for now, at least, that's how it is.

Director Liang took a deep breath and replied, "I understand, Professor Fang."

"Thank you for going to all this trouble with me!"

"Professor Fang, I apologize for disturbing you, but I will not disturb your rest any longer."

After Director Liang finished speaking, he got up to take his leave without drinking any tea or saying anything else.

Fang Ziye simply escorted Director Liang to the door of his villa, then turned around and started having a long video chat with Luo Tingzhu!
He watched Luo Tingzhu write her thesis, and Luo Tingzhu watched him research literature!

That night, Fang Ziye received a call from Chen Song, an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor at the sanatorium, saying that Director Liang had applied to leave the sanatorium.

Fang Ziye was somewhat surprised, but he didn't ask any further questions...
