Chapter 2

"Goodbye, Master." Fang Ziye, wearing a white coat and holding Yuan Weihong's white coat in his hand, waved at Yuan Weihong, who was straddling his electric scooter with his feet propped on the footrests.

Yuan Weihong tilted his head slightly: "Go back and rest early, don't stay in the training room too long."

"Improvement in clinical operation is slow, grinding work."

"The hospital's original intention in setting up training rooms was merely for learning convenience, not for us to make breakthroughs."

"What the professors say is actually just pie in the sky, no need to take it too seriously." Having given this parting advice, knowing Fang Ziye would definitely run to the training room, Yuan Weihong twisted the throttle, and his figure gradually receded into the distance.

Fang Ziye's smile stiffened slightly, and he headed toward the Orthopedics Building to put away his and his teacher's white coats.

……

The Skill Training Center was located on the seventh through thirteenth floors of the Functional Medicine Experimental Building; Zhongnan Hospital's Orthopedics Department was formidably strong, ranking among the Four Great Vajras in Han City.

It exclusively occupied one floor.

The eighth floor housed the Orthopedics Skill Experimental Center, with a total of twenty operating rooms.

Most of them were brightly lit.

However, the only place Fang Ziye could go was the Trauma Surgery's First Training Room, 801.

Sounds from inside were incessant, with occasional "damn its," occasional "fuck's," and the occasional grunting sounds of needle holders, vascular clamps, and forceps clashing.

Fang Ziye put his backpack in a storage locker, and an acquaintance called out to him: "Brother Fang, over here!"

The one calling Fang Ziye was a newly enrolled standardized resident from this hospital, now shadowing Fang Ziye — the pure rookie Lan Tianluo, who didn't even have bed management qualifications yet.

Fang Ziye came to Lan Tianluo's side; Lan Tianluo was currently using various simple operating instruments to suture rubber skin, but there were cracked gaps between the suture knots.

"Your needle spacing and needle entry/exit angles aren't well controlled; the inner layer has twisted knots." Lan Tianluo was an ordinary socialized standardized resident, shadowing him; as his senior brother, Fang Ziye gave a little guidance.

Freshly arrived, the department's chief resident still didn't dare let him be on duty or manage beds alone, so he shadowed Fang Ziye.

In Zhongnan Hospital, what was least lacking were bed-managing doctors and resident physicians.

Operating opportunities were few; most operating opportunities were in the training rooms.

When Fang Ziye occasionally accompanied his master to outpatient clinic, some miscellaneous tasks were completed with Lan Tianluo's help, making him a small helper.

Mastering suture technique's needle spacing, suture depth, and needle entry angle was the key to completing rubber skin suturing.

Otherwise, once the inner tissues tangled, it would lead to perforations or tears.

"Thanks, Industry Brother." Lan Tianluo nodded.

Fang Ziye sat down at the still-vacant operating table next to Lan Tianluo; after a glance, he discovered a needle holder was missing, then saw Lan Tianluo had two — probably borrowed one over.

This was a skill training room, not an operating room, so there was no need to pay special attention to sterile principles; he just picked it up.

Lan Tianluo hurriedly explained: "Industry Brother, this needle holder slips the needle a bit, doesn't fix particularly well, needs to be swapped……"

"Mm, I'll go swap it, you continue your practice." As the last to arrive at the skill training room, Fang Ziye getting the worst instruments was only natural.

To practice, he had to go to the instrument storage to swap for a new one, but had to return the old one to get factory replacement or refurbishment depreciation.

The Skill Training Center was a welfare-type laboratory, so naturally they saved wherever they could.

【Knowledge Points Remaining: 5.】

【Note: Free Knowledge Points can be used to actively add points for skill upgrades. Knowledge Point acquisition is generated based on the weight of the physician in the diagnosis and treatment process. Revenue details: +0.5, +0.2, +0.1……】

When Fang Ziye returned, he still decided to add all Knowledge Points to Incision Technique and Suturing Technique first. After both skills reached Level 2.

When Fang Ziye performed Orange Peel Suturing again, he felt exceptionally at ease.

Orange peel suturing emphasizes full-thickness and half-thickness suturing; the requirement is not to tear the skin, and not to let the unfixed orange peel move and bulge creating gaps when tying knots.

This operational difficulty is naturally not small; currently among the department's students, only the doctoral senior brothers can routinely achieve it; master's students who have mastered it aren't nonexistent, but are few.

The previous Fang Ziye was not among them.

At this moment, Lan Tianluo glanced over and exclaimed: "Holy shit? Industry Brother? You passed the orange peel suturing test?"

Hearing Lan Tianluo's words, quite a few first- and second-year graduate junior brothers and another standardized resident looked up, their gazes slightly surprised yet carrying envy……

The others were completely unfazed.

Third year of master's, suturing orange peel is actually basic, not a big deal.

In the Trauma Surgery skill training room, suturing practice has four major tools: rubber skin, orange peel, tofu, skin jelly.

The first tool is rubber skin, the most basic entry-level tool; if you can suture rubber skin very well, you're rewarded by being allowed to start suturing patients' skin in the operating room.

Then you progress to practicing orange peel suturing.

If you can suture tofu to a very good standard, suturing technique counts as passing the test, meeting the clearance requirement for the First Training Room.

Obviously, this requires exceptionally high operational talent, with extremely strict control over suture depth, force, and needle entry angle.

Skin jelly is a tool only found in Trauma Surgery's higher-level training rooms.

And it's said Hand Surgery's suturing practice tools number five, placed in Hand Surgery's Third Training Room; the fifth is nude mouse tail replantation.

Cut into sixty or seventy segments, after suturing completion, blood flow patency exceeding ninety-five percent and vascular stenosis not less than five percent counts as suturing technique passing the test; the requirements are extremely high……

But although he had only met the half-thickness orange peel suturing requirement, Fang Ziye's mood was still quite excited.

Because adding points really can improve capability!

It's not his imagination.

In other words, as long as he has enough Knowledge Points, then passing the master's stage training rooms, wouldn't that mean?

There's hope?

Fang Ziye finished suturing and looked at that panel once more.

【Note: Free Knowledge Points can be used to actively add points for skill upgrades. Knowledge Point acquisition is generated based on the physician's weight in the diagnosis and treatment process, and gains from the learning and operation process.】

Diagnosis and treatment weight, gains from learning and operation process.

This is the key point.

After Lan Tianluo stopped speaking, the training room fell quiet again; everyone began their own practice, the snip-snip of scissors cutting thread and the tap-tap of instruments landing on operating tables incessant.

Not only do Master's Students like Fang Ziye need to practice surgical operations, but Doctor Senior Brothers also have to put in effort to prepare in the aspect of surgical Basic Skills for their own Hospital Retention or Job Hunting at outside hospitals.

Master's Students have extremely few Operation Opportunities in Clinical settings; at most it is just Skin Suturing. Doctors are slightly better off, but it is still quite limited.

Therefore, this Training Room is the place where the dream of a Surgical Great Physician sets sail; everyone is striving for this...
