Chapter 58 The Assessment (Please add to your favorites and read on!)

During the early shift handover, Fang Ziye quickly stood in the crowd and focused his attention.

The routine handover involves reporting on the postoperative conditions of newly admitted patients and patients who underwent surgery the previous day, such as drainage volume and vital signs.

However, after the handover was over, Professor Dong Yaohui took the initiative to interject: "Thank you, Professor Deng, for giving me the opportunity to say a few words. I actually wanted to make a suggestion to Professor Deng, but I don't know if it's appropriate."

Dong Yaohui has half-gray hair, but he is in good spirits and speaks with a very upright tone. He is usually low-key and silent, and rarely speaks about matters in the department.

But as soon as Dong Yaohui spoke, Professor Deng Yong quickly turned his backside to one side and bowed his head slightly: "Master, you are my teacher and senior. If I have done anything inappropriate, please correct me."

Although Deng Yong is currently the administrative director of the Department of Trauma Surgery, he still doesn't dare to make decisions unilaterally within the department. Not to mention that Professor Dong Yaohui was the former administrative director of the Department of Trauma Surgery and was also Professor Deng Yong's master's supervisor. However, when Professor Deng Yong was pursuing his doctorate, Dong Yaohui was not yet his doctoral supervisor.

Then Professor Deng Yong went on to study for his doctorate under an elderly professor who has since left the front lines of the wards and now only sees patients in the outpatient clinic.

That's how we got to where we are today.

“I think, Deng Yong, that our department’s current situation, whether in terms of the number of people or the quality of talent reserves, is no longer what it was twenty or ten years ago. At present, we are still being too conservative in delegating authority to surgeries.”

"Take Xie Jinyuan from your group, Chen Fang from our group, and Peng Long from Professor Xiong's group, for example. They are all associate professors, but their professional skills are comparable to those of any prefecture-level city hospital, a slightly smaller teaching hospital, or even the First and Second Hospitals of Wuhan."

“What’s the difference between them and senior professors? I think it shouldn’t be the director there who should be different from these young people, but rather these young people should be different from them.”

"Given this situation, Deng Yong, you need to come up with a solution. Don't confine a bunch of capable people to one group, preventing them from fully utilizing their talents."

"There are quite a few operating rooms in the emergency surgery department, and the current policies on day wards and day surgery are very open..." Dong Yaohui pointed out.

Deng Yong immediately understood what Dong Yaohui meant: "Master, I have been considering this matter. However, the types of day surgery cases in our trauma surgery department are relatively small. Moreover, in this era, the tasks and requirements for a relatively better teaching hospital like Zhongnan Hospital are also different."

“The day surgery procedures that can be performed in the day ward are generally the kind of procedures that attending physicians like Yuan Weihong and Zhang Zixi should be responsible for, rather than the kind of procedures that associate professors like Xie Jinyuan and Chen Fang should be responsible for.”

"Master, what do you think?" Deng Yong was even bolder than Dong Yaohui.

After all, Dong Yaohui's classroom only required associate professors to increase the number of surgeries, while Deng Yong dared to send out attending physicians directly.

Dong Yaohui lowered his head slightly and then nodded: "These days, the departments are all run by you young people. I'm just saying a few words. As long as you can consider this aspect, that's fine. I won't say anything more about how to implement it."

"If you need my help, just let me know."

Having already stepped down as administrative director, Dong Yaohui did not reprimand his student, Professor Deng Yong. He knew that one cannot be of two minds, otherwise it would only lead to trouble.

"Thank you, Master. There are indeed some matters that require your personal attention recently. Our department is developing rapidly, with a considerable number of master's and doctoral students, and we currently have a significant number of research projects."

"But in reality, the platforms that can provide us with for developing scientific research are very limited."

“Currently, in our department, only my department has a laboratory. Professor Xiong and your students, including Master, are all staying in laboratories of other disciplines. We always need their help.” “I was thinking, Master, could you and Professor Xiong take some of the young people in our department and apply for a small laboratory?” Professor Deng Yong suggested with a smile.

……

Such a major development direction is not something a small fry like Fang Ziye can consider. Fang Ziye only lets it go in one ear and out the other.

All he could think about was how to best handle the internal fixation device removal surgery that his junior brother Gong Ziming was in charge of.

During the ward rounds, neither Professor Deng Yong nor Professor Xie Jinyuan, nor even my own teacher, mentioned this matter at all. It was as if they were simply entrusting me with a surgical procedure, and in their eyes, it was no big deal.

After the ward rounds were over, Fang Ziye didn't dare to go back to the training room. He followed Yuan Weihong down into the operating room. While Fang Ziye was taking off his clothes, Xie Jinyuan took advantage of the moment when Fang Ziye's abdomen was exposed and pinched it.

"Ziye, you've managed your figure quite well," Xie Jinyuan said with a smile to Yuan Weihong after finishing his massage.

Fang Ziye subconsciously twisted his body, took off his sweater and began to fold it, and said with a smile, "Teacher Xie, isn't this the core muscle strength that I developed by supporting my legs? It's all thanks to the teachers' good training."

Making subordinates support your legs is a form of training, but also a form of bullying.

Xie Jinyuan raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "You've mastered your teacher's Yin-Yang Divine Skill quite profoundly, haven't you?"

"Brother Yuan, he just needs to be taught a lesson. If he can't complete that intramedullary nail removal surgery later, you should hit him hard until you make him remember the lesson." Yuan Weihong, always eager for a good show, fanned the flames.

"You said it." Xie Jinyuan's eyes lit up immediately.

"Hey!" Yuan Weihong betrayed Fang Ziye without a second thought, completely ignoring Fang Ziye's slightly aggrieved look.

Everything remained the same, giving Fang Ziye a chance to perform surgery. He didn't get any help, skin incision, leg suturing, or even sterilization.

Dr. Sun Shaoqing and others divided up 50-60%, and the remaining 30-40% was not enough for Shu Lang and Master's students like Gong Ziming. Even without Fang Ziye taking the stage, all the profits were still divided up cleanly.

Naturally, during this period, Luo Tingzhu, the little genius in the group, got the most opportunities to operate. Although she was a girl, she was not afraid of hardship or fatigue and did all kinds of work.

The sight of her small frame supporting her thick thighs seemed slightly incongruous, yet her gaze remained unwavering.

Finally, just as Professor Deng Yong finished his complex and major surgery and began to divide the patients, Fang Ziye's intramedullary nailing and fixation surgery was about to begin.

Moreover, a considerable number of assistants were assigned to them.

Professor Deng Yong and Associate Professor Xie Jinyuan were the first and second assistants, respectively. Sun Shaoqing and Gu Yi began disinfecting and draping the wounds. Fang Ziye only needed to wash his hands and put on his clothes before he could start cutting the skin. He was not worried at all about having no one to help him with the surgery he was performing.

Luo Tingzhu was responsible for hanging the X-ray films in the medical record bag. Fang Ziye's junior brother Jie Han, and his assistant Zhu Peilan Tianluo, were ready to push the C-arm machine throughout the process.

The saying "many hands make light work" was perfectly illustrated at this moment. With such a large team supporting them, even if the surgeon, Fang Zi, had to remove the internal fixation with his knife, and the junior intern nurse who was assisting him had to perform the surgery, as long as she didn't pierce the heart with her knife, even if she cut the femoral artery with her knife, there would be no danger to her life!
