Chapter 66 Improving Knot-Tying Skills (Please add to your favorites and read on!)
"Junior Sister Luo, I was just joking. I was just showing off in front of Junior Brother. You don't need to expose my secrets, do you?" Fang Ziye casually made a slightly risqué joke.

Luo Tingzhu spent a long time in the trauma surgery operating room. She was already used to it and wasn't particularly shy.

She simply said, "Thank you for your help with the flow cytometry counting last time, senior. My senior sister said the results were very good."

"It's nothing, we'll help each other out in the future. If it weren't for you, Junior Sister Luo, during the scratch experiment last time, my teacher would have scolded me to death." Fang Ziye casually mentioned it.

Then he asked, "Junior Sister Luo, are you not far from emerging from seclusion in the training room with your current strength?"

Luo Tingzhu blushed and glared at Fang Ziye reproachfully: "When it comes to exposing secrets, Senior Brother Fang, your skills are far superior to mine. I've only just entered the sect. Aren't you making fun of me?"

Luo Tingzhu is a PhD, and she will be a PhD upon graduation. The first requirement she needs to meet to leave the training room is the actual requirement for leaving the training room.

Suturing should be able to suture the aspic; incision should be able to dissect and separate the muscles, tendons, blood vessels, nerves, and fascia of the pork; debridement should be able to reshape and grind the muscles of the crushed pork; and hemostasis should be able to achieve a rate of 60 times per minute.

Then, the special requirements of trauma surgery also include muscle suturing, osteotomy, manual reduction of fractures, as well as splicing of bone defects, osteoplasty, and bone flap design.

Therefore, during doctoral studies, if one wants to take a purely professional operational route, the pressure is extremely high. Most doctoral students can only take the ordinary route that combines professional skills with academic achievements, and cannot break through solely from the perspectives of professional operation and scientific research.

Breaking through in scientific research is actually quite simple: publish one or two high-quality research articles with high scores of 10 or 20 points, and wow, you can take off on the spot.

"The suturing technique has improved slightly, but it's still far from perfect." Luo Tingzhu walked alongside Fang Ziye and the other two while tidying up her small bear bag that she used to carry snacks, which could also be used as a small chest bag.

"Senior Brother Fang, I heard you're not attending the Orthopedics Annual Meeting this year?"

In terms of professional skills, Fang Ziye was slightly inferior to Luo Tingzhu. Lan Tianluo and Jie Han dared not utter a sound when they saw Luo Tingzhu, such a senior sister, and could only walk silently without replying.

I just glanced at the beautiful senior sister intentionally or unintentionally; after all, beautiful women are pleasing to the eye.

“We’ve been there several times before, so let’s send our junior brother this time. Does Junior Sister Luo want to go?” Although Fang Ziye felt that Luo Tingzhu had some talent, it wasn’t unattainable.

Even with a suturing skill level of 4, Fang Ziye felt that he could catch up with the suture technique in another month.

After all, as abilities become stronger, the rate at which knowledge points are gained also increases slightly.

Fang Ziye's current knowledge points balance has unknowingly reached 54 points again. However, he hasn't decided whether to add points to other basic operations to level 3 or save them to upgrade one basic operation to level 4.

If there's no rush to use it, Fang Ziye thinks it's okay to keep it for now.

After all, clinical practice opportunities are really limited. Maybe we can save them for later and gain more knowledge by improving our theoretical understanding.

Because basic procedures primarily involve surgical patients, while theoretical procedures cover both outpatients and surgical patients. This significantly broadens the scope.

Another point is that I have already completed nearly half of the basic cell experiments taught by the teacher. If I want to continue, I may need to consider adding points to the basic animal experimental techniques as well, so that I can continue to do experiments and earn knowledge points.

Many choices.

However, once the experiments for this project are completed, there will be no more to do. We still need to obtain funding to have a continuous stream of experiments to conduct and to gain more knowledge. Always trying to piggyback on other people's experiments is not a long-term solution.

……

They chatted for a few more minutes along the way, but it was about topics unrelated to the important direction. Upon arriving at the training room, Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu went together to the registration desk to collect materials for further practice of suturing and incision techniques.

Luo Tingzhu's suturing technique has already completed the suture of the skin scabbing, so there is no need to apply another one. The requirement for suturing in trauma surgery is that the ability to suture skin scabbing can meet almost 99% of the suturing requirements in clinical practice.

For example, in the suturing technique, Fang Ziye can now receive aspic. In the incision and debridement techniques, he can also receive pork and specially crushed pork, which can be used to practice the incision and debridement techniques respectively.

Moreover, once the pork muscles are cut open, they can be used to practice muscle suturing techniques.

As for bone setting techniques, manual reduction of fractures, and splicing techniques for bone defects, Fang Ziye has not yet started working on them directly, as his time each day is quite limited.

As for specialized practical skills, I will only have more opportunities to let Professor Deng Yong see that I also need to practice after I enter the doctoral program and my senior fellow student Sun Shaoqing graduates. There is no need to rush for now.

……

November 9th wasn't a special day, but Fang Ziye remembered it was Yuan Weihong's birthday.

However, it was all for naught. His birthday was not special, and Yuan Weihong still had to hold outpatient clinics and teach Fang Ziye the diagnosis and treatment procedures for common diseases in the outpatient clinic.

However, just as the outpatient clinic was about to close, after Fang Ziye finished seeing Yuan Weihong's few new patients, he carefully took out a small box from the pocket of his white coat.

“Master, this is a birthday gift from Jiehan and me to you,” Fang Ziye said.

"Oh? There's a gift too? Let me see." Yuan Weihong was still holding a water glass and swaying his waist when he saw Fang Ziye take out a gift box, which was a bit unexpected.

However, when Yuan Weihong opened the gift box, there were four characters inside when pieced together.

The first square features the character "揭" (jie) sewn together by Jie Han using a sewing technique. On the back, there is another sewn-together character "生" (sheng).

The second square has the character "兰" (lan) on the front and the character "日" (ri) on the back.

The other two characters, Fang Ziye's "Fang" and Yuan Weihong's "Yuan," are three-dimensional characters that Fang Ziye created using knotting techniques with yarn.

The word "happiness" that follows was painstakingly carved out by Fang Ziye using bone-shaping techniques at home, after grinding pig bones for a long time...

After reading it, Yuan Weihong immediately understood what Fang Ziye and the others meant. He nodded, grinned, and said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "That's quite unique. You guys are pretty good at saving money."

It's as if to say that always sending these kinds of things is getting a bit tiresome.

However, after reading it, Yuan Weihong said, "You're pretty good. Surgical knot tying isn't a routine requirement in our trauma surgery, and you've been practicing it in private. But why are you using yarn?"

"Yarn is cheap, Master, it saves money," Fang Ziye replied nonchalantly.

“Now, my junior brothers, junior sister Luo and I all buy cheap pork to practice at home occasionally. The pork is only 8.5 yuan per catty, which is a special offer.”

"Well, it's never a bad thing to learn another skill." Yuan Weihong carefully closed the lid and put it in his pocket.
