Chapter 136: Are Red Eyes a Disease? (Seeking Subscription)

"Senior Brother Fang, I just woke up, slept for a long time..."

When Fang Ziye returned to the doorway of the rental house, the time had already reached past eleven; he held an iced coffee in his right hand, clearly intending to use it to stay alert and write.

He took out the key, opened the rather old anti-theft door, and set the coffee down temporarily in the foyer.

He replied with a voice message: "Oh, I just got back from the lab too. Have you picked a place to live?"

While replying, he changed into a pair of slippers, and shuffling along half-dragging his feet, walked toward the study that Fang Ziye had tidied up a bit.

The apartment layouts in the community are mostly two-bedroom; the two bedrooms vary in size, similar to a children's room, with a small bed and a small desk.

Fang Ziye used this side as a study before too, only his book collection wasn't as rich as Luo Tingzhu's "study," but Fang Ziye directly ran the ethernet cable from the router climbing along the wall over here, and the door between the study and the living room stays open year-round.

Studying abroad, housing isn't as straightforward as in China, especially for someone like Luo Tingzhu, a one-year temporary trainee; if you want a single dorm room, you might as well wash up and sleep.

Either you rent outside, or you lodge with a family living together with others, or you find a senior sister who studied abroad.

"Probably renting on my own, I'm not used to living with others."

"But I need to get a bank card and credit card first, don't know if there's still a chance to get some perks." Luo Tingzhu replied.

Most consumption in the United States is by credit card, and after getting a credit card, it's generally not the points system commonly used in China, but a cash-back system; obviously Luo Tingzhu did some research before going abroad.

And the United States is generally a multi-national integrated society, universities even more so; nearby, even if sharing an apartment, she'd heard from seniors about all kinds of weird roommate habits, and Luo Tingzhu was horrified, simply deciding to live alone.

Fang Ziye hesitated slightly, then said: "This is what I asked Associate Professor Hong Zili to check — rental info near the school; he seems to have found a Chinese friend over there who connected us to a quite preferential apartment; if you need it, you can ask."

Fang Ziye sent the screenshots and the contact info over there, not only a phone number but also an email address.

Luo Tingzhu looked at the price above, slightly less than the market price she knew by a couple hundred bucks, and after a slight pause sent a voice message: "Senior Brother Fang, Professor Hong has connections like this too?"

"Professor Hong has been abroad, so he probably knows quite a few people; and Professor Hong went abroad at a relatively early age, the people he knows who stayed in the United States are all doing quite well now."

"The safety of the housing and the landlord are both guaranteed; I also asked my Master, he..." Fang Ziye explained calmly like this.

Finally he said: "Of course, if you have better resources, you can also decline; I'll have Professor Hong contact them again."

"Sister said my luck is very good, refusing is completely unnecessary..." This time Luo Tingzhu switched the reply to text.

"Alright then, you go handle the bank card first; I still need to organize some data, and process it with prism." Fang Ziye didn't dwell on it further; he'd process data for a while, then wash up and sleep.

"Thank you, Senior Brother." After a full five minutes, Luo Tingzhu replied again, her voice carrying somewhat complex emotions.

Fang Ziye listened, then didn't reply further, just looked out the window.

Night fell like this, but ten thousand miles away in the United States, it was clear skies for ten thousand miles. This world really is quite big, quite big...

The next day, March 4th.

When Fang Ziye once again arrived fully armed at the department's on-call room, he actually didn't find anything particularly off; he just discovered that the graceful figure from Professor Deng Yong's group who arrived at the office at 7:20 every morning to review discharge records was no longer appearing, replaced by Senior Brother Yan Zhiming.

Everyone else was still there too, like his classmate Li Yuanpei; Li Yuanpei currently, same as Fang Ziye, had already faded out of bed management and started developing toward the follow-up Chief Resident direction of reviewing in-house records.

Fang Ziye and Li Yuanpei both formally entered the Standardized Residency Training Program in August three years ago; therefore after it ends this April, the thirty-three-month Resident Physician Standardized Training comes to a close.

The last month or two, Fang Ziye and Li Yuanpei both still appeared in the department, for a proper beginning and end; only the tasks they needed to shoulder had ultimately changed.

There are too many bed-managing doctors in the group.

Not to mention the two Visiting Doctors who came later also need bed management; just the Master's first and second-year juniors stepping up, plus Lan Tianluo who is currently still a 'Social Standardized Resident' who hasn't withdrawn, each person gets only two or three beds; this number of bed management is truly very, very few.

Speaking of which, the two Doctor seniors Gu Yi and Wang Yuanqi who are about to enter PhD Year 3, their complexions are also gradually turning panicked, because they just finished their Doctorate thesis proposal defense, and now they also have to gradually fade out of clinical work and start preparing for graduation.

After published papers and graduation thesis are finalized, they still have to prepare for future job hunting.

Gu Yi has already completely given up on the Hospital Retention 'struggle' and started looking out of town. Wang Yuanqi, on the other hand, is striving to see if he can break through the Training Room's pass, and also grind out some more workload in the lab, publish more basic articles, as accumulation for the Hospital Retention fight.

Therefore, although Fang Ziye returned to clinical work and ended his half-detachment, Senior Brother Wang Yuanqi's half-detachment life began in early March.

Currently, the group's Follow-up Resident is Gu Yi — this is on the surface; the person responsible for signing is Yan Zhiming; Yan Zhiming replaced part of Luo Tingzhu's previous duties; Li Yuanpei is helping review in-house records, preparing to take over Yan Zhiming's duties.

Fang Ziye, on the other hand, was 'ignored'.

However, this ignoring is not because they don't value Fang Ziye, but because they value Fang Ziye that they ignored his post in the group; otherwise, how could Fang Ziye, in the final month of the thirty-three-month Standardized Residency rotation plan where he should have entered, go to Enshi Central Hospital for tempering and rack up half a year of grassroots work experience?

If Fang Ziye's post in the group were irreplaceable, that would be trouble.

Still the normal Handover —

Professor Han Yuanxiao has already gradually gotten the hang of and grown accustomed to the Acting Director position; only when he speaks, he carries the Director's authority toward many people, yet uniquely when facing Professor Dong Yaohui and Professor Deng Yong, he remains humble.

"Professor Dong, the venue for this new year's COA is about to be confirmed; last year our Zhongnan Hospital didn't have a very high appearance rate at the COA conference; Professor Dong, this year you must definitely participate in a submission, let our Trauma Surgery make its voice heard." Han Yuanxiao slightly cupped his fist.

Zhongnan Hospital's Trauma Surgery, in Han City, in Hubei Province is middling; but on the national Orthopedics strength ranking, it's a bit hard to find.

Under such circumstances, the speaker slots at the Trauma Surgery Sub-venue are limited to begin with; in the Trauma Surgery field, last year only he and Professor Deng Yong gave a talk, and only Professor Deng Yong hosted half a Sub-venue session, then there was Yuan Weihong who snagged a speaker spot in a Young Scholars Lecture.

Among Associate Professors, the submissions of Xie Jinyuan, Chen Fang, and Associate Professor Peng Rong all failed to be placed in suitable slots.

The appearance rate inside COA represents to some extent the department's Jianghu status nationwide; the department's appearance rate was too low last year, maybe only having an Old Comrade like Dong Yaohui come out of retirement could add a bit more voice from Zhongnan Hospital.

Dong Yaohui smiled: "I'm old now; such conferences are just for watching; I don't have much energy to prepare special cases."

Dong Yaohui belongs to the older generation, an old man about to be rehired; him appearing on the speaker podium then would actually be inappropriate; sitting below as a Specially Invited Guest chatting with a bunch of other old folks is his proper role.

At Dong Yaohui's polite refusal, Han Yuanxiao just smiled: "Then Professor Dong, please give our department's young people more guidance then."

"I see that last year's COA had many Doctors and even Master's students doing clinical case reports on the conference floor; our department has many students too; you all should also work hard to collect material and try submitting then."

"Zhongnan Hospital's Orthopedics has this much volume anyway; it can't be too low-key nationwide either." Han Yuanxiao proposed like this.

April is when the COA hosting venue and organizing unit are confirmed, but actually before that, preparation for things that can be taken out to share must begin.

On this point, many people can understand. Han Yuanxiao is a new official taking office; he wants to produce results in the Acting Director position, hopes Trauma Surgery can speak outward — this is understandable.

However, Dong Yaohui and Deng Yong each have their own tasks; Deng Yong definitely won't shirk responsibility, but an Old Professor like Dong Yaohui really rarely appears on the speaker podium; because even if he appears, he's just selling his old face, better not to appear.

For the big shots' pressure, us little doctors don't need to care.

What Zhongnan Hospital's Jianghu status in Han City and Hubei Province, what its comprehensive influence nationwide, its speaking frequency in COA, its position on the comprehensive strength ranking.

Fang Ziye and the others only know that Zhongnan Hospital's Orthopedics currently belongs to the top-tier level in Hubei Province; that's enough.

These high-end things, they fundamentally can't participate in.

Today Fang Ziye didn't hand over his managed patients, but neither did he take patients back from the juniors; he just familiarized himself with the relevant test results of his managed patients, preparing to report cases at any time.

"Today isn't a surgery day, so how about we come early for a teaching ward round." Teacher Deng proposed it this way.

"Are the interns here?"

"Teacher Deng, we're all here."

There was one female student, two male students timidly raising their hands.

They were respectively the three undergraduate interns following Jie Han, Zhu Yunwen, Gong Ziming, foolishly cute raising their hands in the crowd.

This batch of interns, after the master's students' written exam ended, successively came to the clinic, and there was also one who happened to be a cute newcomer entering clinical internship two months before senior year second semester...

"Then let's do a teaching ward round." Teacher Deng saw the group's people had basically all arrived, so he decided so.

Yuan Weihong's complexion then slightly changed, turned sideways and explained: "Teacher Deng, I have a teaching class at nine o'clock, I need to leave first."

Teaching tasks cannot be delayed.

Even if Teacher Deng has a class at eight o'clock, you arrange your own time, handover and such, you Deng Yong also cannot attend, can only go give undergraduates a big lecture, this is a teaching hospital.

Teaching is a very important task.

Deng Yong could also understand, slightly waved his hand, and let Yuan Weihong leave...

Of course, the teaching ward round process was still relatively slow, a full one and a half hours passed before finishing the dozen beds that normally take just over ten minutes to round.

During this period, Deng Yong mainly let the interns, visiting doctors, and Dong Wenqiang Gu Yi several people express opinions, and did not call on Li Yuanpei and Fang Ziye.

Deng Yong knew, these two students, although every day check in at the department, actually just perfunctory him, say a word I'm here, everyone has their own busy matters, only no time to participate in the clinical tasks he wants to participate in.

Naturally, Fang Ziye also just happened to feel able to relax a bit, if really asked questions, would still have to rack his brains scraping his knowledge reserves, squeezed dry, and might even be seen by Professor Deng as a Teletubby, why bother...

After finishing handover, Fang Ziye once again returned to his previous state in the clinic.

Inspect all patients in the department, then review literature, one by one compare patient diagnoses, postoperative medication, and compare with currently more recognized meta-analysis articles or review articles.

These review data, what difference exactly with clinical practice, using other drugs, would it be better hmm?

And seeing Fang Ziye today did not leave at the first time after ward round.

Lan Tianluo and Jie Han were not surprised at all, hurriedly taking this opportunity, used this Senior Brother Fang Ziye thoroughly.

Especially Jie Han, actually stored two to three months of questions, as many as seventy-plus, big and small, talked Fang Ziye's mouth dry, only then barely got by.

"Thank you Senior Brother." Jie Han satisfied closed his notebook, then thanked Fang Ziye again.

"You asked this many questions, you don't even treat me to a sip of water?" Fang Ziye looked at Jie Han, felt his whole body a bit numb.

This Jie Han, no wonder a bit not favored by teachers!

"Senior Brother, I was thinking just happens to be noon mealtime, I'll treat Senior Brother to a meal ah?"

Fang Ziye nodded, inwardly complained, eating is eating, you can't prepare a two-yuan bottle of mineral water or go pour a cup with a water cup.

"Tian Luo, your informed consent materials written yet, written go eat ah?" Jie Han shouted toward Lan Tianluo's direction.

Lan Tianluo then very happily nodded, said okay.

Someone treating to a meal, can also chat together, drink a little beer, this is Lan Tianluo this age group's most liked, happiest activity.

Although in training room can learn things, in laboratory, can make oneself not so ignorant.

But doing these is for growth, going to eat, meeting up, is for life, when can be comfortable, who wants to be an ascetic monk?

Just, Jie Han this shout, happened to wake up Li Yuanhong and Dong Cheng, hurriedly nodded.

Laughing said: "Doctor Fang, and Tian Luo Little Jie? Going to eat? Nearby where better eat, just right we together ba."

"Me and Brother Cheng came long time, still haven't had chance to treat you three to a meal!" Li Yuanhong laughed saying, face full of amiable.

Common saying, outstretched hand doesn't hit smiling face person.

Jie Han didn't know how to respond, eyes seeking help and looked at this Senior Brother Fang Ziye.

Fang Ziye then laughed saying: "Big Brother Hong, Brother Cheng, let's together ba, just right we three fellow disciples, and you such old big brothers consult some things."

Fang Ziye had business finding Li Yuanhong, actually best alone find, but yesterday Master just instructed, Fang Ziye felt better bring two Junior Brothers go find, avoid self in case brain gets hot says wrong words does wrong things.

With two Junior Brothers in, at least can remind self a bit.

Li Yuanhong and Dong Cheng very willing, hurriedly stopped work at hand.

A line five people, just right split into two batches.

However, Li Yuanhong proposed each take taxi, then meet at destination, but they two don't know way, let Lan Tianluo and Jie Han bring Dong Cheng, he then let Fang Ziye lead way.

Fang Ziye also didn't refuse.

With Lan Tianluo several people confirmed location, then with Li Yuanhong first boarded ride-hailing car, straight headed Zhongbei Road direction.

On the way, Li Yuanhong chatted off and on.

Fang Ziye also replied, but Fang Ziye right now messages nonstop, separately from Wang Yuanqi and Qian Qiaofeng two groups, both sent Fang Ziye messages.

Wang Yuanqi's meaning is, Deng Yong Professor this side experiment has extra data, later let Fang Ziye and Lan Tianluo help check article and data processing results, and also one article, also has Fang Ziye's name, is Deng Yong Professor's meaning, let Fang Ziye roughly scan article full text.

And Qian Qiaofeng sent message saying, Hong Zili Associate Professor currently just got last year's article research bonus, just preparing to eat, asking Fang Ziye if free together.

Fang Ziye one side replied Li Yuanhong: "Hong Brother, I'll reply a bit ah."

Then politely declined Qian Qiaofeng's meal invitation, then gave Yan Zhiming Senior Brother replied Yan Zhiming follow-up can do experiment arrangement, planning...

"No matter no matter!" Li Yuanhong and Fang Ziye sat very close, Fang Ziye also didn't put phone screen protector, therefore, Fang Ziye's conversations with others' messages, Li Yuanhong took in all with his eyes.

Eyes like rabbit same red.

Really tm same are human this species, but fate completely different, self want buy can't buy SCI, at Fang Ziye here, like few cents or writing pen same, you use mine, I use yours.

tm you guys this generous, give me a nomination ba?

Although think this, but Li Yuanhong naturally impossible say this, just feels, self possible can mix a name, for own title promotion as bonus.
