Chapter 562 Unlimited Potential! (Please Subscribe)
The sanatorium is built against the mountain. The clinical area and the research area are slightly separated but not far apart, about five or six hundred meters apart.

The main reason for this distance is to prevent the spillage of toxic substances from the laboratory.

The dormitories and canteens on both sides are also separated!
Instead of driving, Fang Ziye rode his electric scooter towards the laboratory.

After putting on protective clothing and special anti-toxic and odor-proof masks from the animal testing laboratory, Fang Ziye found Nie Mingxian and Liao Jia.

"How come it's so fast? It's only been a few days. Have you been working overtime?" Fang Ziye asked.

The two of them arrived in Enshi on the 2nd, and it's only the 4th now. Could it be that Liao Jia was bored on the 2nd and just came to the animal laboratory?
"Osteosarcoma on the tibial plateau may take some time to develop, but synovial sarcoma grows very quickly."

"Fang Ziye, come and take a look!" Liao Jia pointed to the image reader connected to the computer, which displayed an MRI image of the synovium inside the joint of a nude mouse. He quickly zoomed in on it.

The Liao family changed their address; they no longer called him Professor Fang, and calling him Ziye felt too intimate, so for the time being they would refer to him as Fang Ziye.

And he was still in a bad mood. After being humiliated by Nie Mingxian on the train, he was then humiliated again by Fang Ziye and his three partners during dinner. His tone was a bit arrogant now.

Synovial sarcoma is a malignant tumor of soft tissue originating from joints, synovium, and tendon sheaths. It commonly occurs in the large joints of the limbs, but can also occur in the fascia and muscle membranes of the forearm, thigh, and lower back.

A common malignant tumor in adolescents and young adults!
This is its background; the reason it grows so rapidly is because adolescents are in a period of rapid growth.

In medicine, a tumor is defined as a new growth formed by the proliferation of local tissue cells.

It may not directly cause harm. For example, the secreted substances may produce toxins in the human body. It can cause the uncontrolled proliferation and extension of normal tissues, leading to compression and secretion of normal hormones, which in turn alters the body's hormone metabolism.

Furthermore, it frantically absorbs the energy substances of normal human bodies to fuel its growth, leaving normal bodily tissues without sufficient energy supply, leading to cachexia.

It is the tumor's secondary functions that lead to death, rather than its direct cause of death.

The textbook describes synovial sarcoma as follows: MRI mainly shows thickening of the synovium and soft tissue mass, and can also show changes in adjacent structures, such as cartilage changes, including bone changes such as cartilage degeneration, cartilage thinning, and cartilage destruction and interruption.

Irregular, patchy, and abnormal bone destruction signals can be seen near bone destruction.

However, the synovium is actually quite well-circulated, and the most prominent feature of synovial sarcoma on MRI is the formation of multiple pannus.

"Can you identify the nourishing blood vessels that are the source of the damage?" Liao Jia asked after Fang Ziye carefully reviewed the images.

Synovial sarcoma is a tumor of the synovial system. If its blood supply can be cut off, it will become like a rootless duckweed and die rapidly.

When the main nourishing blood vessels are blocked, the effect is even better than radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and can even achieve a complete cure.

Currently, surgery is the primary recommended treatment for synovial sarcoma, but it is prone to recurrence.

The reason why tumors develop in the human body is because of the local microenvironment, which causes malignant proliferation of local tissues. This is the essence of tumor formation.

Even if the tumor is removed, if the microenvironment remains unchanged, new growths can still regenerate!
“Don’t rush, Ziye is still watching slowly. Watching a film isn’t like fast-forwarding; you can’t get to the important parts so quickly…” Nie Mingxian said, tilting his head.

Liao Jia kicked Nie Mingxian after hearing this: "Speak properly, or I'll suspect you're subtly criticizing me!"

"Taking it personally is a sign of guilt."

"Stop showing off." Nie Mingxian glanced at Liao Jia.

The person he is now is his true self, not the "Director Nie" who was suffocating under the weight of an "invisible mountain" a year or two ago!
When you were little, your parents took care of you without hesitation. Now that you've grown up and your shoulders are strong, it's not for you to run away from them.

Truly intelligent people often use double entendres when they joke with you, and you can be right no matter which way you interpret it.

Liao Jia is a bit arrogant now. He conducts experiments very quickly, which is his excuse for showing off.

"Can you shut your mouth? You're a vascular surgeon, and you still need Ziye to come and help you look at the MRI and examine the blood vessel patterns..." Liao Jia was sharp-tongued and didn't back down at all.

“Hey…” Nie Mingxian was truly speechless after being rebuked.

Vascular surgery is his specialty and his area of ​​expertise. However, while MRI images have high resolution, it's beyond his skill level to see every detail clearly.

Few people in the entire radiology specialty can achieve this, and the same is true for vascular surgery.

If Fang Ziye weren't currently at a low starting point, even if I were to take the conventional approach of striking first, there wouldn't be a place for him.

Is there anyone who can pique his interest with an idea?
Of course there are, and quite a few at that. There are plenty of people in this world with wildly imaginative ideas.

It has only unearthed a deep abyss of desire, and very few people can fill it.

Nie Mingxian had spent a long time doing ideological work alone in Kyoto, but eventually he inevitably fell into the trap of clichés, as he had been close to sages during his humble and weak period.

No more waiting after the deadline.

Liao Jia won the argument and felt very happy.

He hadn't felt this happy in a long time.

"We are still in the induction and growth phase of blood supply, and the course of blood vessels is not yet very obvious, making it difficult to pinpoint their location!"

"However, from a general structural perspective, it is mainly supplied by the intra-articular arterial network."

"The arterial network within the knee joint is mainly composed of the superior medial and lateral popliteal arteries, inferior medial and lateral popliteal arteries, and middle popliteal artery, the descending genicular artery of the femoral artery, the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery, and the anterior recurrent tibial artery, which anastomose with each other."

"It is currently speculated that this case of synovial sarcoma is mainly supplied by the lateral inferior patellar artery and the descending genicular artery of the femoral artery."

"At this location!" Fang Ziye moved the mouse and pointed to the course of the two arteries, one of which had more intricate twists and turns.

Nie Mingxian knew that the key point now was to deduce general patterns from different cases, so he immediately replied, "There are others. Ziye, since you're here, let's take a look at them together."

Will it affect your surgery later?

Nie Mingxian knew Fang Ziye's surgery schedule. There were no surgeries at the sanatorium today, but the hand surgery at Enshi Central Hospital was ready and scheduled to start promptly at 10:00 AM.

"Let's finish looking at it first, there's still plenty of time." Fang Ziye stepped aside so that Nie Mingxian could help him find the next set of imaging data.

Nie Mingxian was more familiar with the location of the package than he was, so there was no need to waste any more time.

Liao Jia stopped arguing with Nie Mingxian and quickly said, "Make a note first, record the arterial data that has been read and the estimated data!"

"It will be easier to take notes when I get back."

Nie Mingxian readily accepted advice and worked diligently. He came here not to play around, much less to play with 'Liao Jia'.

……

An hour later, at 10:11, as the group left the lab, Fang Ziye's phone rang.

"Brother Nie, Brother Liao, you're free to do whatever you want from now on. I won't have lunch with you; I called to urge you to come back."

"I'll pick you up for dinner later. Didn't you want to eat beef?" Fang Ziye said with a smile.

Neither of them had taken off their protective suits. Liao Jia nodded to Fang Ziye from a distance: "I'll call you later. I'll cheer you on."

Fang Ziye smiled, turned around, and left.

When Liao Jia mentioned refueling, he meant refueling a car, but that kind of topic was too formal.

Fang Ziye is no longer the poor kid who had to rely on Alipay and Jiebei for living expenses. He can easily spend a few thousand yuan without affecting his normal life.

Just as Fang Ziye was rushing to the villa area parking lot to get his car and prepare to leave, Han Jingyi's message arrived: "Teacher Fang, I've arrived in Enshi. I'm going to find a place and get things settled. I can officially start work tomorrow."

"Thank you for asking Sister Tingzhu to introduce me to the house. I took a look, and the transportation is quite convenient. I can take the bus every morning and get to the lab quickly by nine o'clock," Han Jingyi said.

Fang Ziye replied simply, "I'm going to the Central Hospital for surgery. That apartment is right across from the Central Hospital. You should call the landlord first."

That house was the one Fang Ziye rented from a relative when he came to Enshi. His 'aunt' hasn't moved to Enshi yet, so it's been empty.

She doesn't want to rent it to outsiders!
Fang Ziye discussed it with Luo Tingzhu, then called his mother to ask. His aunt said it was okay, so he rented it to Han Jingyi again.

In the future, when Lan Tianluo and Jie Han come, or when their students come, they can enter the sanatorium's dormitory area as team members.

Research assistants are not considered "essential" team members, and many professors do not bring their research assistants. Therefore, Fang Ziye should not be too "outstanding"!
An associate professor and a research assistant parade around.

My own salary isn't high, so finding Han Jingyi a relatively inexpensive apartment is also a way of helping her, and it will also give my aunt a little more income.

This time, the annual rent won't be a few thousand, but eleven thousand, and the monthly rent will be over nine hundred.

It was a large three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment across from Enshi Central Hospital. If rented to a new employee of Enshi Hospital, it would definitely cost at least 1,500 yuan a month.

My aunt just didn't want to bother with it, afraid of the hassle.

……

"Professor Fang, this way, this is the hospital's designated parking area for consultations, there are three in total!" Han Ningkun greeted him directly at the entrance, and after seeing Fang Ziye's temporary license plate car, he waved for him to drive over.

Han Ningkun was wearing a white coat and a name tag, presumably having already coordinated with the security guards at the entrance. So when Fang Ziye drove over, he immediately removed the handmade roadblock.

The man in his sixties looked at Fang Ziye's car with some hesitation: "It doesn't have license plates yet?"

"Then I might accidentally stop them next time!" the security guard said, somewhat troubled.

Han Ningkun turned his head and said, "Uncle Liu, you only recognize people, not cars. Thank you for your hard work. Professor Fang is an expert that our orthopedics department went through a lot of trouble to invite. He is very famous in Wuhan."

Fang Ziye knew that Han Ningkun meant to curry favor, hoping that by handling all the details well, he could come here more often for consultations and surgeries, and also teach some new surgical techniques, which would make their department's development speed soar.

Fang Ziye had worked at Enshi Central Hospital and knew the situation there.

However, where would Fang Ziye find so much time these days?
He didn't refuse outright. After parking and locking the car, he smiled and said, "Brother Kun, thank you for your hard work."

"Professor Fang, it's all the right thing to do."

"The patient has been anesthetized and disinfected, and is just waiting for you to come and perform the surgery."

Han Ningkun was very polite, tilting his head and saying, "Uncle Liu, let's smoke together next time. We're going to the operating room now."

"Okay." Uncle Liu smiled and looked at Han Ningkun.

As Fang Ziye followed Han Ningkun through the door, he asked, "Brother Kun, did you take care of the task I asked you to prepare the insulated food containers?"

"I'm going to take the severed nerve segments with me later."

These nerve segments from chronic peripheral neuropathy are invaluable raw materials, whether they are used for pathological sections or for genetic testing after fixation.

Upon hearing this, Han Ningkun said, "Professor Fang, we have also visited the medical affairs department many times regarding this matter."

"The hospital's current regulations are quite clear: no medical staff other than the patient's family members may take surgical excisions out of the hospital."

"It can only be processed by the operating room, or the hospital's pathology department or laboratory!"

"Professor Fang, as you know, the reason this rule was introduced was because of the placenta in the obstetrics and gynecology department..."

As Han Ningkun spoke, he noticed that Fang Ziye's expression was a little off, and immediately explained, "Professor Fang, our hospital's pathology department and laboratory are very willing to actively cooperate with you in carrying out all your scientific research activities."

Fang Ziye understood Han Ningkun's words perfectly!

This decision was not something Han Ningkun could make; he didn't have that authority.

He didn't make things difficult for Han Ningkun. He put on his scrubs, tucked them into his pants to create a high waist, and then shook them, saying, "I have enough projects on hand, one more won't make a difference."

That's really interesting!
Does anyone really think that having high emotional intelligence means you can control everything?

What Professor Lin Peng of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital wants to do, Director Tan Guodong of Enshi Central Hospital also wants to do. That's great!

We're not from the same circle, why are you forcing yourself to do something like this?
"Professor Fang, that's not what I meant," Han Ningkun quickly explained.

Fang Ziye took out his phone, moved a short distance to the side, and called Professor Qu Tangwei of the Department of Gastroenterology.

After a brief chat, Fang Ziye said, "Hey, right, have your family get that thing, and tell them you'll handle it separately!"

"I came here for surgery, but now they can't remove it."

A living person can't be suffocated by urine. If Enshi Central Hospital wants to follow the proper procedures, he can follow even more proper procedures than Enshi Central Hospital.

The removed tissue must be shown to the family members, and the family members have the right to take these lesions away and dispose of them themselves.

Patients are allowed to take the removed tumor with them, whether as a souvenir or for further pathological examination at a more advanced hospital.

Han Ningkun smiled from afar, but he was actually a little anxious.

"Brother Kun, it's ready. Let's go up and perform the surgery," Fang Ziye replied.

……

While Fang Ziye was washing his hands, Han Ningkun went into the operating room before him, presumably to report the situation to Tan Guodong, the director of the hand surgery department.

Fang Ziye didn't care; he didn't think he had done anything wrong!

Fang Ziye had always considered himself an ordinary person, and he didn't think that anyone in the Hand Surgery Department of Enshi Central Hospital could discuss cooperation with him on an equal footing.

Even if he did something disrespectful, he did it, and that's that; nobody needs anyone else's help.

We're all adults. If we don't resort to crooked methods and just live honestly, there's nothing to be afraid of.

After entering the operating room, Fang Ziye went straight to the sterile surgical gown bag and explained with a smile, "Director Tan, I'm sorry, something came up in the lab and I was a little delayed."

"I'm sorry for taking up everyone's time."

Tan Guodong probably knew about Fang Ziye's phone call and his decision, which is why his eyes were particularly conflicted before Fang Ziye entered the room.

However, after Fang Ziye entered, he put on a smiling face and narrowed his eyes: "It's alright, Professor Fang. We don't have any other surgeries scheduled today. Once this surgery is finished, we can all go home."

"Then let's try to make the surgery go smoothly so we can get off work earlier," Fang Ziye replied with a smile, without saying anything more.

After the surgery officially began, Fang Ziye discovered that the little girl's symptoms and condition were slightly better than he had expected; the muscle contractures were not as complicated as he had anticipated.

It is slightly simpler to treat than diseases with stiff adhesions after surgery.

After all, the stiffness following a destructive surgery is due to adhesions, which require careful debridement and dissection.

This little girl has primary muscle contracture without adhesions. She probably did regular functional exercises, but later developed neurodegenerative disease, which caused some nerve atrophy.

Muscle atrophy and contracture are two different concepts, and muscle adhesion is another, more complex situation.

As soon as the surgery began, Tan Guodong and others started praising it.

Fang Ziye laughed and said, "It's alright, it's all basic skills. All surgeries should involve exposure and incision."

However, as the surgery progressed, Tan Guodong and Associate Chief Physician Ding Yue had more and more questions, even about every single detail of the tendon transfer procedure!

This is not just about being eager to learn!

Functional reconstruction surgery, including nerve, tendon, and vascular transposition and transplantation, is fundamental.

If Tan Guodong and his colleagues don't even know these basic techniques, they are not qualified to talk about learning functional reconstruction techniques.

Fang Ziye said, "In the case of muscle contracture, the muscle is split open, the tendon is transplanted, and it is fully released. Then, depending on the situation, a transposition is performed to extend the original shape of the muscle. This is the most basic procedure."

"Director Tan, let's proceed with the surgery first!"

Fang Ziye had never worked in hand surgery and was not familiar with the basic level of each level of hand surgery hospital.

Therefore, when Tan Guodong and others asked him questions at the beginning, he answered them all.

After all, no one will dislike a studious person, or at least they won't think that the other person is doing anything wrong.

However, most people don't have a good impression of those who are overly ambitious.

Enshi Central Hospital can only perform limb replantation surgery at present. If it doesn't even dare to perform transposition or transplantation surgery, then answering their questions is essentially just popularizing science.

Fang Ziye doesn't trust Tan Guodong and others, and he doesn't even attend academic conferences!
Attending academic conferences, I noticed that transposition and functional reconstruction are currently hot topics in hand surgery, and many experts were sharing their advancements in these procedures.

However, if Tan Guodong and others are still on their way under such circumstances, it proves that their basic skills are insufficient.

Fang Ziye's teaching is not very meaningful.

To avoid misleading people.

Of course, if Fang Ziye were willing to stay here for a few years, he might be able to train Tan Guodong and others. But Fang Ziye definitely couldn't spare that much time!

Tan Guodong understood what Fang Ziye meant. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he understood Fang Ziye's mindset and apologized, "I'm sorry, Professor Fang, I took up your time with some basic topics."

If Han Ningkun had previously told him that Fang Ziye was unwilling to collaborate with them on basic research, he felt that Fang Ziye had been the one to break the rules.

Now, Tan Guodong feels that perhaps they have been trying to climb the social ladder by force.

Tan Guodong was just a doctor at Enshi Central Hospital. He had never been involved in basic scientific research in his life. He thought that basic scientific research was just a matter of mutual assistance and cooperation. He felt that he was not going to steal the first authorship from others.

I'll give you benefits, treat you to meals, drink with you, and help you solve other problems.

That's all in the past now...

However, Tan Guodong may not know that Zhang Mingcan from the Department of Trauma Surgery at Enshi Central Hospital had the same idea before, and he did it more subtly than Tan Guodong. Zhang Mingcan's team had a better foundation.

The Fang Ziye they encountered was still a very 'weak' Fang Ziye. At that time, Fang Ziye felt that the two teams were not on the same level at all.

Fang Ziye joined Zhang Mingcan's team purely to work for Zhang Mingcan, not to collaborate.

Then don't talk to me about exchanging ideas.

The essence of social relationships is actually the exchange of various levels of knowledge and experience, rather than simply drinking and eating.

You have what I need, I supply what you demand; the deal was struck over the dinner table!

Scientific research collaboration is not like trade between companies, where things are slightly less important and only cost-effective.

When Fang Ziye performed the nerve transplant, Tan Guodong and the others suppressed their chaotic thoughts and were completely engrossed in what seemed like a 'heavenly book' and a miracle.

This time, they truly realized that Fang Ziye's skills were so advanced, and that surgical procedures could be performed in such a way.

The level of expertise in hand surgery can be as high as I never knew!
"hiss!"

"Professor Fang, this is a truly ingenious way to handle things, both in terms of execution and approach." Tan Guodong's praise sounded rather ignorant.

This is normal!

The level of skill possessed by the professors in the Department of Hand Surgery at Zhongnan Hospital is something Tan Guodong can only dream of, and Fang Ziye's skills would make so many professors in the Department of Hand Surgery green with envy.

From Tan Guodong's perspective, he wished he could possess Fang Ziye and take over all of Fang Ziye's abilities, or even switch their levels.

"It's alright. The operation difficulty of this surgery is moderate. In the end, the clinical results are similar to those of some chronic nerve damage caused by infection or trauma."

"The tricky part is that some functional impairments caused by trauma or infection do not involve substantial nerve lesions. But she did, so we have to be more careful to determine the segment of the lesion and use nerve transplantation to replace the original nerve course."

"How much functional recovery she can get after the surgery is something we can't answer right now." After finishing the key parts, Fang Ziye left the surgical closure area for the skin and soft tissue sutures.

I glanced at the time again and it was only 3:40 pm. If I went to pick up Nie Mingxian and Liao Jia at this time, I could still get to Chadianzi Town in Ba County before lunchtime and eat "beef"!
"Director Tan, this patient needs to use hormones for at least a week after surgery to reduce nerve edema, starting with 16 units and gradually decreasing."

"Anti-infection treatment may take about ten days, but the specific duration will depend on the post-operative examination results."

"Her degenerative changes could be caused by a virus or other infection, so we should still pay attention."

"In addition, the affected limb should be strictly immobilized for the first week, and the patient should wear an immobilization brace to perform fine motor function exercises."

"We'll adjust the brace's mobility again in a week, depending on the specific situation. I'll come back to check on it then." After saying that, Fang Ziye made another round of inspections of the surgical field.

I didn't find any problems: "I'll leave the stage now, and I've made plans to have dinner with some friends."

Tan Guodong was taken aback upon hearing this, and immediately followed Fang Ziye away from the operating table, saying, "Professor Fang, you've made an appointment with a friend? I've arranged a place to eat, why don't you invite them to come along?"

Han Ningkun and Ding Yue then very considerately began to close the wound and perform other finishing touches.

“We’ll be going quite far. It’s not convenient today, but we can go together next time if there’s a chance,” Fang Ziye replied.

After removing his sterile surgical gown and gloves, Fang Ziye picked up his phone and walked out of the operating room.

Tan Guodong followed, and as he and Fang Ziye washed their hands at the sink, Tan Guodong said with a hint of hesitation, "Professor Fang, are you a little angry because we didn't agree on letting you go out with this nerve segment?"

"Actually, Professor Fang, our hospital is currently an affiliated hospital of Wuhan University, and basic scientific research has always been a weak link!"

"Our hospital's research department has always been thinking about moving in this direction..."

Fang Ziye nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, a teaching hospital should do more basic research."

"But Director Tan, you misunderstood. I really did have an appointment with a friend, and I wasn't angry. I resolved it in another way."

"When the time comes, you just need to hand over the removed lesion to the patient's family."

Fang Ziye is an adult. When faced with a problem, whether he gets angry or vents, his first thought should be to solve the problem, not to throw a tantrum at Tan Guodong and the others.

This is no different from acting like a big shot, and Fang Ziye doesn't like people like that.

One should also avoid leaning in that direction.

Tan Guodong said, "Professor Fang, I'm sorry, but in the end I was still unable to handle this problem smoothly. It's still my lack of ability."

"But as you know, some decisions are beyond the control of us department heads."

"So, I hope you won't be angry, Professor Fang. If there's an opportunity in the future, we can work together again. I also hope to learn more from you, Professor Fang."

Tan Guodong chose to leave.

However, Fang Ziye didn't care who it was or who wanted to be 'bound' to him; none of that mattered to him.

Fang Ziye's purpose in coming to the Enshi Sanatorium this time was not to build the Enshi Central Hospital, but to visit the sanatorium.

Going to Enshi Central Hospital and getting entangled in the dispute shows a lack of focus and creates unnecessary complications.

"I understand, Director Tan!"

"Administration, after all, doesn't really understand clinical practice. I understand your pressure, but right now, I really don't have enough free time."

“Otherwise, I’m also from Enshi, and I also hope to see Enshi prosper,” Fang Ziye said honestly.

Tan Guodong couldn't continue speaking. After following Fang Ziye down to the locker room, he handed Fang Ziye an envelope.

Fang Ziye roughly estimated that it was a little over ten thousand.

His brow furrowed slightly.

Tan Guodong quickly explained, "Professor Fang, this amount is a bit low. According to your normal consultation and surgery fee standards, it would be reasonable to add half of it."

"However, this is the maximum standard our hospital has provided!"

"I didn't feel comfortable asking the patient to take any more medicine, so I hope Professor Fang can be understanding."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye asked, "Director Tan, how do you and the patient split the costs?"

“Give me whatever the patients give you. The department shouldn’t be shortchanged. This is the trouble I’ve caused you.”

Fang Ziye is a shrewd businessman.

The reason this patient came to the Central Hospital was because Fang Ziye had agreed to Qu Tangwei's request, not because Tan Guodong went to Qu Tangwei!

Fang Ziye couldn't bring himself to make the department spend money on this patient.

"It's alright, Professor Fang," Tan Guodong tried to deflect the question.

Fang Ziye put the envelope down, straightening the wrinkles in his coat as he said, "Then I won't take it, Director Tan!"

“Half, half,” Tan Guodong quickly said.

"Really only half? I can call and ask," Fang Ziye said.

When this patient undergoes surgery, the hand surgery department receives the surgery fee, but Fang Ziye definitely doesn't take that fee; it's income earned by the hand surgery ward itself.

But the surgery fee shouldn't be too high, maybe five or six thousand.

We also need to share with the operating room nurses and anesthesiologists!

“It really is only half, Professor Fang. We’ve come this far, why should I be polite with you?” Tan Guodong said.

Fang Ziye picked up the money, counted out five thousand, and kept the rest.

"Director Tan, I've troubled you all this time. There's not much money left, so please consider it my way of thanking you for arranging things for me," Fang Ziye said.

“Eh…” Tan Guodong was taken aback.

"Director Tan, there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, right?" Fang Ziye left with a flourish.

Human relationships are based on reciprocity.

It's best to avoid owing favors to people you're not particularly close to, especially favors that can be bought with money.

There's no need for that; it's too much of a waste.

As he got into the car and started the engine to warm it up, Fang Ziye recalled how cautiously Han Ningkun and the others had treated him, and he took a deep breath.

Fame is a good thing, and so is status!
With these two things, the people you meet will become more and more polite and respectful towards you.

Once this kind of respect becomes part of your daily life, it will gradually erode your mindset and become ingrained in your bones, making it difficult to break free from.

Compared to my first visit to Enshi, how is my current situation upon returning to Enshi?
But in reality, everyone who has reached the level of associate professor or associate senior professional has accumulated a lot of knowledge, and the effort they have put into accumulating that knowledge is worthy of respect.

It wasn't just me who had to work so hard to reach the associate professor level; everyone did.

Previously, Fang Ziye only understood the living conditions of junior doctors in Enshi Central Hospital. Now, Fang Ziye can be said to have seen the demeanor of the superiors in Enshi Central Hospital.

It's not easy for everyone.

Director Su Xiao of the Affiliated People's Hospital of Three Gorges University, in order to advance his career, needed to perform surgeries himself, and there were some surgeries he could not refuse.

At Enshi Central Hospital, Zhang Mingcan, the former director of the Department of Trauma Surgery, had many troubles.

Whether Tan Guodong, now a hand surgeon, is trying to get benefits from me to advance his career, or whether the research department is putting pressure on him and trying to make a deal with me through traditional "personal relationships," it doesn't matter.

Ultimately, they are just richer than ordinary people, but they are not at all free and easy.

Fortunately, I didn't return to work after graduating with my master's degree. Otherwise, I would probably be facing the same fate as Tan Guodong and others, which is what I would have ended up with before I even met the panel.

……

Fang Ziye sat in the driver's seat, and Liao Jia sat in the passenger seat, looking down at the 'cheating couple' in the back seat. He coughed and said, "Watch yourselves, this is Professor Fang's car. You two better behave yourselves."

Nie Mingxian reached out and yanked Liao Jia's ear, cursing, "Are you fucking on gunpowder?"

"You're making such a fuss over holding hands. I'm just holding hands, I have two hands to hold, why don't you do the same? Don't you have two hands?"

"Hands clasped together, indestructible!" Nie Mingxian joked without any restraint, his attitude getting better and better.

Liu Guo patted Nie Mingxian on the shoulder and said irritably, "You should be careful. You've been single for quite a while now. Be careful you don't end up single again!"

“Sister-in-law, you have to be reasonable. He's only been out of the single life for a few months, and he's already acting so cocky. He's obviously not a good person.”

"His true nature has been revealed."

"Professor Fang is still the best..." Liao Jia suddenly mentioned Fang Ziye and sighed deeply.

He spent his years having fun, and in the process, he lost sight of his own goals.

At his age, he has talent, money, and charm; it would be easy for him to deceive young girls!
But Liao Jia no longer had any interest in young girls.

They don't even want to go on blind dates anymore; they've long passed the impulsive stage of falling in love at first sight or doing anything for someone.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye said, "Brother Liao, your destiny hasn't arrived yet. Maybe it will arrive sometime soon."

"There's no rush. It's not advisable to find someone to deal with them."

Liao Jia sighed, "I hope so, but...?"

"Actually, just getting by is fine!"

At this point, Liao Jia suddenly added, "Fang Ziye, after you left today, I thought of another idea."

Isn't the lung the most common site for osteosarcoma to metastasize?

"This proves that osteosarcoma is the most invasive tumor to the lungs, and that osteosarcoma cells can easily migrate and settle in lung tissue."

"Do you think it's possible for us to start with very late-stage osteosarcoma and develop a model of osteosarcoma lung metastasis first?"

"The lungs have a unique anatomical structure, which allows for a better understanding of the application of embolization in the treatment of osteosarcoma when used to treat metastatic lesions."

"This allows us to assess the impact of direct blood supply on the growth rate of osteosarcoma lesions."

"This model is..."

Liao Jia was suddenly jerked forward, his waist twisted violently, and then he was bounced back heavily into his seat by the seatbelt: "Why did you slam on the brakes?"

Fang Ziye turned his head, gripped the steering wheel tightly, and then glanced at the rearview mirror. There weren't many cars on the national highway, so he pulled over and parked.

Fang Ziye decisively said, "How about we go eat beef another day? Shall we head back now?"

"Screw you!"

"Work shouldn't interfere with life; eat when you're hungry and drink when you're thirsty!"

"It's time to get off work, Fang Ziye." Liao Jia was the first to shake his head.

At the same time, he laughed somewhat vainly.

Show off, look at you all so smug. All you know is dating, right? Now you know the 'charm' of a bachelor like me, don't you?
I don't need to rack my brains to figure out how to coax my girlfriend. My mind is clear, and my potential is limitless. I'll take you two down with me!
Fang Ziye then restarted the car: "Currently, the treatment for patients with late-stage osteosarcoma after metastasis is mainly palliative chemotherapy."

"A better understanding of the invasiveness of osteosarcoma metastases may greatly improve the survival rate of patients with advanced disease after treatment."

"This is a very popular cancer that is currently being researched in many specialties."

"I think if our team can get this done, we're guaranteed a Nobel Prize, but a second or even first prize from the National Natural Science Foundation of China is practically guaranteed."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guo, who is usually quite outgoing and impulsive, became as quiet as a docile cat.

She tightened her grip on Nie Mingxian's hands next to her, seemingly understanding why Nie Mingxian insisted on running to Enshi, this godforsaken place.

It's not because there's a sanatorium here, but because of Fang Ziye and Liao Jia, those two big perverts.

Both of them dared to think, and dared to act.

The person next to me isn't one to sit still either. Who knows what kind of chemical reactions will occur when these few get together?

Nie Mingxian felt that Liu Guo's weak and boneless hand grip had increased slightly. He was secretly pleased, but he didn't explain to Liu Guo. He just said, "If the taste is good later, let's buy a few more pounds of beef to bring back."

"From now on, we can set up our own pots and pans to cook in the dorm."

“Next time, I’ll take you to our town to eat rice tofu; it’s absolutely delicious,” Nie Mingxian suggested.

He is still young, and he has a lot to do. He is in his thirties and has only just begun his journey in medicine.

Although he took some detours and was delayed for many years, now is the perfect time for him to start afresh.

The road ahead is long, but the potential is limitless.

No one's life should be limited, and similarly, enjoying life outside of work is a normal part of everyone's life.

Money that isn't spent on food and drink isn't considered money.
