top student at medical school

Chapter 666 The Son's Affairs (Please Subscribe)

"Professor Fang..." Lan Qi's expression was particularly pitiful at this moment, trying his best to please, no longer having the thoughts he had on the other end of the phone yesterday.

Fang Ziye is just a doctor; how much influence can he possibly have?

"I have to go to work. It's tough being a worker. If you're late, not only will your wages be deducted, but you'll also get scolded by your superiors."

"Please go about your business," Fang Ziye said politely.

Lanqi certainly has more than one way to make money. He took the scalping route, so he definitely doesn't rely on Fang Ziye alone to 'make money'.

Perhaps when Lanqi first learned that Fang Ziye was only an associate chief physician, he never considered that he couldn't help solve the problem.

Fang Ziye left, and Lan Qi could only watch him go, not daring to have any more thoughts.

Yesterday, after he repeatedly called Fang Ziye using his own phone, he was initially blocked by Fang Ziye, but then he received a 'monitoring' call.

If Guo Zhou continues to harass Fang Ziye, he will bear the consequences. When the other party called, they had already thoroughly investigated all of his connections and relationships.

Fang Ziye has powerful backers, and these backers are far more influential than his own...

Those who have relied on connections to navigate the social world for a long time become increasingly respectful, even fearful, of others' connections. The more they depend on these connections, the less likely they are to break the rules.

After all, Lanqi relies on this for his livelihood.

……

Fang Ziye went straight into the department; it was still early, and his superiors hadn't arrived yet...

But the junior doctors came quite well.

Li Yuanpei just returned yesterday and even drank alcohol last night, but as the current 'senior doctoral student,' he immediately took over the group's affairs.

With his doctoral degree at the first level, Li Yuanpei has now become a 'professional senior doctoral student'.

When Fang Ziye and others first entered the doctoral program, senior student Sun Shaoqing was still there, followed by second-year students Wang Yuanqi and Gu Yi. This June, senior student Yan Zhiming also graduated...

"Ziye, have you had breakfast yet?" Li Yuanpei called out.

"Teacher Fang."

"Teacher Fang..."

"Brother Ye."

Other doctoral and master's students also used what they thought were more appropriate titles.

Currently, the doctoral students are: Li Yuanpei in his third year, Shu Lang and Qiao Fei in their second year, and Cao Nong in his first year.

This year, there are a relatively large number of first-year doctoral students; in our group alone, there are four doctoral students specializing in specific fields.

Cao Nong, who followed his master Deng Yong, and Jie Han, who followed Yuan Weihong, were Fang Ziye's two students.

This kind of existence is unique in the entire orthopedics field. This is the empire that Fang Ziye built after he developed it. Although it seems unconventional, no one else dares to have any objections.

No one would complain about having too many spots, since Fang Ziye's two masters were also well-fed while he was achieving enlightenment. With their current research experience, it was perfectly normal for them to mentor a few students.

Yuan Weihong was awarded the title of Excellent Young Scientist, and Deng Yong, although removed from his clinical position, remains in the laboratory. He is now at the stage where others can do without a doctorate, but Deng Yong must have one – a true research heavyweight.

The same treatment that Associate Professor Hong Zili enjoyed in the experimental group before, Deng Yong now truly deserves as well.

"Brother Ye, I'm sorry." Among the group, Zhu Yunwen took a step forward and lowered his voice.

Zhu Yunwen is still a third-year master's student. He was forced to postpone his graduation by Deng Yong last April. He was originally in the same year as Jie Han, but he has only now rejoined the team.

"It's alright, it's all in the past."

"Be more careful in the future. I know this is a difficult time for you, but you can't go to extremes no matter how hard it is," Fang Ziye reassured him.

Last year, Zhu Yunwen, whether blinded by greed or genuinely deceived, used traditional Chinese medicine patches in the hospital that had not fully passed clinical trials and even received kickbacks.

They found out later...

Zhu Yunwen was actually alright, but the more important thing was that all the senior professors in the hand surgery department were wiped out! Professor Han Yuanxiao was immediately removed from his original position as administrative director, and Professor Liu Huanglong became the ward director.

“If you have any difficulties, your senior brother can help you,” Fang Ziye said.

Zhu Yunwen, who was able to pass Deng Yong's review, certainly did not have the intention to deliberately harm Fang Ziye; otherwise, he would most likely have been expelled from school or marginalized.

However, unintentional harm is still harm and must be punished.

Zhu Yunwen shook his head: "Senior brother, I will..."

Fang Ziye then got to know several first-year master's students who had recently joined the hospital.

Fang Ziye had his first-year student Hu Qingyuan still in Enshi, but Yuan Weihong's student Lin Fangzhong and Deng Yong's student Teng Feng were there, and they were formally introduced to Fang Ziye by Gong Luoyuan, a second-year student.

"Brother Ye, all the first-year graduate students in our group this year are from our own institute. Tengfeng is even a top student in our hospital's seven-year program." Gong Luoyuan's face was much more mature than last year. He was tall and had a rather imposing presence, but at this moment, he had a flattering smile on his face.

"Sure, welcome, welcome." Fang Ziye shook hands with both of them.

"Professor Fang, the senior students all say that if we can perform well in the practice room or stand out in the laboratory, we can get the opportunity to study with you?"

"Is it true?" Teng Feng is of medium height, about 1.75 meters tall, tall and thin, but some pimples on his face slightly affect his appearance, making him look ordinary.

However, his eyes were very clear.

Fang Ziye didn't know his current position in the group, but since everyone in the group was a junior member, he nodded: "It's definitely true. I welcome any junior member to come and discuss things with me."

"It's just that I might not have that much time to get to know you all in detail, I..."

"Brothers, make way, make way, I need to borrow your senior brother Fang Ziye for a moment." A gruff voice came from behind the door, followed by the tall and imposing Jin Hongzhou barging in.

When Fang Ziye was a third-year graduate student, Jin Hongzhou was the chief resident. Now that Fang Ziye has become an associate professor, he is still the chief resident.

Fate is unpredictable.

Jin Hongzhou's dismissal and hospitalization were always unexpected, but he wasn't as 'innocent' as Wang Yuanqi.

“Brother Zhou,” Fang Ziye said quickly.

"Professor Fang," Jin Hongzhou called out earnestly as he approached Fang Ziye.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye's expression hardened. He nodded slightly, clasped his hands together, and said in an old-fashioned manner, "Well, Xiao Jin, what's the matter?"

Jin Hongzhou was taken aback and looked up in surprise.

"Xiao Jin, you go ahead." Fang Ziye withdrew his arms from his back and politely extended his right hand in a gesture of invitation.

It was Jin Hongzhou who started acting like a scoundrel.

Could Jin Hongzhou possibly be more despicable than Wu Xuanqi? Under Wu Xuanqi's influence, Fang Ziye had long been able to handle such underhanded tactics with great agility.

I asked you, Brother Zhou, to give me face, but you insisted on playing the victim.

"Come to my office." Jin Hongzhou's face twitched as he forced his voice to rise.

“Okay!” Fang Ziye followed him out.

Fang Ziye wasn't promoted to associate chief physician today; he was promoted when he left Han City. Back then, Jin Hongzhou hadn't changed his tune yet. Today, he's just teasing him.

Fang Ziye stood up and, together with Jin Hongzhou, swaggered out of the office, standing out like cranes among chickens.

Being unconventional—that's the mark of the doctors at this hospital, the 'superiors' of all graduate students and doctoral students!
"Teacher Fang is so handsome..."

"Teacher Fang has such a great presence; she only looks a little older than us."

Are all of Teacher Fang's stories true?

The newly arrived master's students and doctoral students had never witnessed Fang Ziye's work firsthand, so they had many questions.

These questions, if they were to reach Fang Ziye's ears, would make him feel quite comfortable.

Fang Ziye felt that the praise and respect from outsiders were dispensable, but the words of his junior brothers made him feel particularly accomplished.

Of course, there is also a very clear line of separation between the doctors and students of this hospital.

The doctors in this hospital are part of the hospital staff, while the students are only part of the graduate program. They are not considered part of the same family, and they still need to work hard.

After pushing open the door to the chief inpatient office, Fang Ziye saw those familiar scenes again: the familiar table, the familiar small refrigerator, and the familiar drinks.

Jin Hongzhou got Fang Ziye a bottle of Yaha iced coffee.

"Brother Guo." Fang Ziye recognized the person at first glance; it was Guo Zhou, a relative of Jin Hongzhou.

Last year, after Fang Ziye stepped down as chief resident, he was brought by Jin Hongzhou to seek treatment from people.

"Hello, Professor Fang." Guo Zhou must have been educated by Jin Hongzhou, because his words were much more rigorous and respectful after their reunion.

Jin Hongzhou said calmly, "Ziye, the reason I came to see you is because of my cousin Guo Zhou."

"Ziye, you should be able to perform this kind of surgery on Guo Zhou now, right?"

Jin Hongzhou was also unsure.

Last year, Fang Ziye's statement that he couldn't do it was true, but Jin Hongzhou also heard that Fang Ziye had undergone functional rehabilitation surgery while in the sanatorium.

This gives me the opportunity to further improve my cousin's hand function.

Fang Ziye narrowed his eyes slightly: "Brother Guo, don't you firefighters have the opportunity to get into Enshi Sanatorium? How come I've never seen your materials on the patient waiting list?"

Guo Zhou is the same person who sought treatment from Fang Ziye last year, had many sons, and was unwilling to change careers easily. Knowing that Fang Ziye had returned this year, he came to visit again.

"Professor Fang, actually, people like us belong to the fifth tier on the waiting list."

"You said it last year too. Our kind of surgery is cosmetic and doesn't cause functional impairment. At most, it's considered functional insufficiency."

"So it's ranked very low."

“For those in similar situations to us, those currently serving in the military are given priority, and special forces are given even greater priority. If I follow the normal order, I estimate I'll be waiting until the end of next year,” Guo Zhou explained bitterly.

Hubei Province is very large, and has a large population.

Hubei Province has been a heroic province throughout history, and it also has a military region stationed there. Therefore, in the sanatorium's treatment priority system, those with higher needs and greater need for treatment can be prioritized first.

Fang Ziye thought about it carefully and realized it made sense. Many of the patients currently seen in the trauma surgery and hand surgery departments of the sanatorium are terminally ill if they do not receive treatment soon.

Osteomyelitis may require amputation, diabetic foot may also require amputation, and if there is a bone defect, one may not even be able to stand up.

Guo Zhou's daily activities are not a problem; he just can't go on missions.

Guo Zhou isn't that good, but the others aren't good at all.

Fang Ziye looked at Jin Hongzhou: "Have you sorted out the hospital admission certificate and the hospital waiting list?"

“Brother Zhou, don’t tell me you know nothing about the surgery I had at the sanatorium.”

Guo Zhou is Jin Hongzhou's relative. If he himself doesn't care about Guo Zhou's hospitalization arrangements, Fang Ziye won't stand for it.

Upon hearing this, Jin Hongzhou immediately said, "Ziye, don't worry. As long as you agree, Guo Zhou can come in at any time. He has been queuing up since May of this year and has been making way for others."

"It's all for waiting for you to come back, Ziye. Everything is in accordance with the rules and regulations."

"Brother Guo, you should go back and pack your things first, and move in as soon as possible. After you've completed the necessary pre-operative examinations, we can discuss the surgery in detail," Fang Ziye said.

"Thank you, Professor Fang, thank you." Guo Zhou's eyes reddened after hearing this.

He was eager to improve himself, not only because he had many children at home, but also because of his personal aspirations.

Guo Zhou thanked Fang Ziye and Jin Hongzhou again and made it clear that he wanted Fang Ziye and Jin Hongzhou to come to his home for dinner before he happily left the department.

……

It was only 7:40. After Guo Zhou left, Jin Hongzhou said, "Ziye, I can't thank you enough. I know your current surgical position is in high demand, so it's not too much for me to shamelessly take one."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye shook his head and said earnestly, "Brother Zhou, I really didn't know how last year. If I had, I definitely would have helped."

"I only learned a little bit about functional rehabilitation surgery when I met Professor Zhou Yan from the Department of Hand Surgery at Xiangya Hospital while I was traveling," Fang Ziye said modestly.

Brother Jin Hongzhou's kindness to Fang Ziye needs no further explanation.

Jin Hongzhou benefited greatly from all the operations he had previously provided to Fang Ziye and the extent to which Fang Ziye was trusted.

After Fang Ziye became successful, Jin Hongzhou never took the initiative to ask Fang Ziye for a helping hand, and never sought to repay a debt of gratitude.

Fang Ziye himself didn't bring it up because he didn't want to openly say that he would give Jin Hongzhou something, since Jin Hongzhou would inevitably benefit from it.

Jin Hongzhou now has a very deep foundation, which will be very beneficial when he gets promoted in the future.

There's no need for words to express it.

“Brother, I’m not questioning you, I’m really grateful to you.” Jin Hongzhou’s expression was a little serious, and his tone was more certain.

"Then let's not talk about this anymore. If we keep going on and on, it'll just get more and more tangled up."

"Brother Zhou, has Brother Qin Geluo also returned from his rural assignment? Is he about to be promoted to associate professor?" Fang Ziye changed the subject.

In Deng Yong's group, his original superiors, besides his own teacher Deng Yong and Yuan Weihong, included Associate Professor Xie Jinyuan, Dr. Qin Geluo, and Dr. Li Nuo.

Li Nuo transferred to the spinal surgery group, and Fang Ziye only went to work in the trauma center after he was about to become the chief resident, so they didn't have much contact.

But Qin Geluo had covered countless shifts for Fang Ziye, and Fang Ziye would never forget this kindness from his own people.

"I went down in May and came back in August."

"It only took three months," Jin Hongzhou explained.

“Let’s go outside and wait for Brother Luo.” Fang Ziye stood up.

Fang Ziye firmly believes that your growth is not about becoming more distant from your relatives and friends, but about enabling them to grow alongside you, within your capabilities.

Fang Ziye couldn't persuade his own relatives; their backgrounds were too low, none of them had a bachelor's degree, such as his parents, cousins, and so on.

But these senior colleagues in the department are all well-educated, qualified, and capable; what they lack is opportunity and experience.

Good is mutual.

When the cake is not big enough, competitive conflicts will arise over time. But when the cake is big enough, everyone can work together harmoniously, get promoted sequentially, and progress together in an orderly manner, making the cake bigger and rounder.

When Fang Ziye and Jin Hongzhou arrived at the office, all three associate professors were already there.

Yuan Weihong, Chen Fang, Peng Long.

Upon seeing Fang Ziye, everyone except Yuan Weihong gathered around to greet him warmly…

Fang Ziye greeted them all politely.

Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, just like walking in brocade at night.

This time, Fang Ziye's return from the Enshi Sanatorium was like a tiger returning to the mountains, suppressing everything.

Regardless of whether the involvement was overt or covert, there was no bone tumor group mixed in with the trauma surgery department, nor was there a professor from the bone tumor department serving as the administrative director; it was all due to Fang Ziye's connections.

After greeting everyone, Yuan Weihong said, "Brother Long, are you really not going to reconsider?"

“You are the eldest brother, and the capable should do more. You should be the one to take on the position of ward director.”

Peng Long flicked the hem of his white coat: "Brother Wei, you're an outstanding young talent, and you even won the top prize in the provincial youth professional competition! You truly deserve it."

“Right, Fang-ge?” Peng Long looked at Chen Fang.

During the period when the senior executive was absent, whoever served as the administrative director would be the scapegoat, and Peng Long and Chen Fang both avoided the situation like the plague.

Eat only what you are capable of.

Next came Yuan Weihong and the others' attempts to shirk responsibility, while Fang Ziye stood to one side, seemingly oblivious to everything else...

When it was time to hand over the shift, Yuan Weihong naturally sat in the administrative director's seat, next to the head nurse, while Fang Ziye sat in the third row to Yuan Weihong's left.

Qin Geluo, Zhang Zixi, and others were all positioned to Fang Ziye's left.

Since Fang Ziye is an associate professor, and one of only four associate professors in the department, there is no problem with this ranking.

After the shift handover between the nurses and doctors on duty, which was not normally done on Sundays, Yuan Weihong still organized this handover.

Yuan Weihong sat up straight and looked at everyone, saying, "September will definitely be the month with the most pressure, the heaviest workload, and the most urgent situation for our department."

"This requires not only us superiors to take responsibility, but also our chief residents, our attending physicians, our doctoral assistant chief residents, and our attending physicians to do a more meticulous job in clinical work."

"We'll be working even more overtime in September!~"

"I make a promise here that I will not leave the department before 10 p.m. every night."

"As long as it's not 10 p.m., I'll stay in the department with you. You can report any detail about any patient directly to me."

"If we're unsure, we'll ask for a consultation. If there's anything we don't understand, we'll look up information together."

"If you can't figure things out by searching for information, I'll accompany you to consult other experts and professors in China..."

"Thanks to Director Du's trust and the hospital's entrustment, I will temporarily serve as the administrative director of the ward for one month. I am actually very apprehensive, but I have no choice but to accept the offer."

"Therefore, I hope that our medical team and our nursing team will be on high alert and start practicing so that even without instructors, we can still fight a tough battle and fight as a team."

"We must be steady and pragmatic, and ensure that every matter is implemented effectively."

"Next, I will talk about our work arrangements for September."

"The general framework remains unchanged, based on the previous task arrangements. Our department will continue to rely on complex fracture cases as a foundation, intermittently treating patients with 'destructive injuries' and sequentially carrying out limb-sparing and functional reconstruction surgeries for destructive injuries."

"The focus of our three groups is on these cases."

"However, our department has adhered to this model for a year, and we have already developed such a foundation and a very mature working model."

"Therefore, starting this month, our team plans to treat several relatively complex cases, such as severe osteomyelitis and other infectious diseases..."

After speaking at length, Yuan Weihong asked, "Professor Chen, do you have any additions or suggestions?"

Chen Fang shook her head, and Yuan Weihong looked at Peng Long again.

Peng Long shook his head again.

"Ziye, say a few words." Yuan Weihong's tone was commanding at this moment.

He was not only a teacher, but also the administrative director, which meant he was Fang Ziye's superior and leader.

Fang Ziye knew he had to speak, and he had already taken notes: "Director Yuan, I just listened to the work priorities of our department over the past year."

"The main emphasis is on one word: stability."

"I think we should continue to adhere to this major goal."

"Therefore, I do not recommend that we continue to admit patients with severe osteomyelitis, because our hospital does not currently have the necessary pre-conditions for the combined use of osteomyelitis and microcirculation devices."

"The circulatory shunt procedure using the miniature circulator is a highly specialized and complex surgical procedure. Our hospital's vascular surgery department currently does not have the capability to assist with consultations."

"However, we can make minor adjustments to our focus."

"The core focus is on destruction and damage, and we will continue to further strengthen our diagnostic and treatment capabilities and operational skills, especially in the step of revascularization."

"I make this suggestion for the following reasons."

"The circulatory interruption technique of the miniature circulatory device is fundamentally about alternative reconstruction of blood supply, which is the same as the blood supply reconstruction technique of our trauma surgery. We have such a good 'example' of trauma surgery, and we absolutely cannot abandon it!"

"Instead, we should use this as material to guide the practice of other operations after completing limb-sparing surgery, making the most of it."

"Secondly, during limb-sparing surgery for severe injuries, we will perform bone reconstruction, which may encounter bone defects. We can further strengthen our treatment philosophy for bone defects."

"We will reconstruct some bone defects that we didn't do well enough before, and strive to achieve better function for patients after further improvement..."

"Third, basic procedures are extremely important. This time, I think our ward should place even greater emphasis on everyone's basic procedures. Everyone should use this as a foundation to develop their surgical skills..."

"I also have some thoughts that I hope to share with all the teachers, classmates, and fellow students." Fang Ziye finished speaking and looked up.

"Let's leave it at that for now, and not expand anything for the time being..." Fang Ziye seemed to be suggesting, but in fact, he had already made up his mind.
