Chapter 235: Rule Loophole (Requesting Subscription)

"Master, is my score for the second round a bit too high?" Fang Ziye had brought his teacher, and after they had finished ordering, Yuan Weihong finally ended his boastful phone call.

Mainly because Yuan Weihong was showing off; across from him, his counterpart probably had their psychological trauma increased to some extent.

There was no way around it; basically, those who had just called to ask were younger than Yuan Weihong. Whether by seniority or by strength, when Yuan Weihong spoke before them, it was like a senior brother instructing a junior brother, and no fault could be found.

Yuan Weihong was in a great mood, counting the number of connected calls on one hand while licking his lips with the other, then placed his phone face down on the tabletop.

Then he lightly wiped his half-bald head and said cheerfully: "Not just a bit high; this time, the one leading the suturing demonstration was an associate chief physician from the Trauma Surgery Department of Liyuan Hospital."

"I thought that would be enough in Trauma Surgery, but who would have thought? You, someone not from Hand Surgery, in terms of suturing technique."

Yuan Weihong did not finish his words, but turned to another category: "Actually, I should have thought of this earlier! The rules of this competition have changed slightly; it emphasizes the control of imitation ability."

"Actually, it means that the closer your ability is to the teacher you first learned from, the higher the score you can get."

"This Director Huo, I estimate his suturing level is comparable to yours."

"I also forgot to tell you: during the competition, if a Trauma Surgery contestant is leading in suturing technique, they will occupy a certain advantage."

"After all, your master I."

"Cough cough, let's not talk about me." Yuan Weihong pursed his lips and ended the topic at the right time.

Fang Ziye deserved his current good results; Yuan Weihong's own suturing technique hadn't even reached Level 4, yet he could win last year's Special Prize, while Fang Ziye's suturing technique had already reached Level 4 long ago.

"How do you feel about the upcoming matches?" Yuan Weihong asked again.

Fang Ziye honestly explained: "Master, as for the later debridement and hemostasis techniques, I am just average; these two basic skills are very important foundations in our Trauma Surgery Department, and I will definitely be at a disadvantage."

"As for osteotomy?" Fang Ziye looked at his own osteotomy technique!

Then Fang Ziye discovered that his current proficiency in osteotomy, plus his current Knowledge Points balance, seemed to allow him to add points to reach Level 4.

And the osteotomy competition is the day after tomorrow; if, say, sometime tonight or tomorrow, he learns like Senior Brother Wu Xuanqi and goes out to grind, for example, finding a few manual reductions to perform within the Enshi area.

Fang Ziye pondered that he might be able to push his proficiency forward a bit more.

"That should be enough; winning First Prize should be fairly secure."

"First Prize only requires keeping a top-nine score; your score in suturing is very high, even Pang Shu's score in suturing at Peking Union Medical College Hospital is one point lower than yours."

"This time, I estimate that in Trauma Surgery, the ones who can reach the peak in suturing are just you and Pang Shu."

"I really didn't expect it, Little Fang; after you went down to Enshi, your growth is really fast!" Yuan Weihong did not mention Fang Ziye's attainment in osteotomy.

Osteotomy, originally, is an operational skill that needs to be valued more during the formal staff stage after completing basic skills training; even if Fang Ziye is not particularly proficient.

But how proficient can Pang Shu and the others be?

"Could it be that your agreement with Old Professor Li was not a joke?" Mentioning this, Yuan Weihong's voice also sounded a bit off.

Old Professor Li's agreement with Fang Ziye back then was mostly taken as a joke in the department; no one took it seriously, and no one would use this to mock Fang Ziye.

Osteotomy correction is one of the operations in Trauma Surgery closest to the ceiling; even senior associate professors may not master it well, and some professors find it quite difficult in such surgical procedures.

Fang Ziye's boastful words, though slightly ignorant, did not warrant causing trouble for a little graduate student; Old Professor Li just treated it as gossip and mentioned it once.

Fang Ziye himself was already very excellent, and no one really imagined that Fang Ziye could directly climb to a skill that even an associate professor finds hard to master within a year.

Just?

Yuan Weihong suddenly recalled now that it seemed Fang Ziye had already started to show a trend toward mature operation in osteotomy correction.

Manual reduction was something Professor Deng Yong specifically mentioned to him; Fang Ziye would be a promising seedling in the future.

If Fang Ziye has learned some basics in osteotomy and debridement, then bone plastic surgery and bone harvesting and grafting are actually, to a certain extent, specialized operations derived from these two basic skills.

Yuan Weihong's heart could not calm down; looking more carefully at this student, he suddenly found Fang Ziye both familiar and strange.

"Master, I don't know before this step is reached."

"Anyway, learn slowly, no rush; since Old Professor Li didn't really remember my military order, I'm not in a hurry to move in this direction."

"Just, Master, in terms of osteotomy, do you think there are many teachers who can reach the peak during the competition?" Fang Ziye now also got used to using "reaching the peak" to describe Level 4 skills.

Actually, Fang Ziye could understand why there are so few people with Level 4 suturing in this Trauma Surgery competition.

The superior of Zhongnan Hospital's Hand Surgery Department hasn't even reached Level 4 in suturing; Hand Surgery's focus is suturing, so how many Trauma Surgery physicians can master Level 4 suturing?

Just, before the competition started, everything Fang Ziye heard was that many participating teachers were very formidable.

And in Fang Ziye's understanding, for example, Teacher Zi Xi and Teacher Qin Geluo and them were also very formidable.

However, this time is a competition, not surgical technique in clinical practice.

The competition only compares specialized operations; extracted from that, even if Fang Ziye is not as many or as deep as Pang Shu and others in the specialized operation skill pool.

But the competition isn't about that either.

This is a skill competition, not a comprehensive ability competition; the two words "competition" themselves are a kind of rule, and such a rule happens to let Fang Ziye now occupy a great advantage.

Actually, I am not unskilled; in this competition process, I can get very good results.

First Prize is not a dream, but a natural progression.

The reason no one says these things to me is because they don't know exactly how my specific operations are done.

Fang Ziye had not previously shown himself in this jianghu, and even Wu Xuanqi hadn't paid particularly much attention to Fang Ziye.

"For ordinary young Trauma Surgery doctors, wanting to master osteotomy particularly proficiently is not a small difficulty."

"But there will definitely be someone who reaches the peak in this osteotomy operation. Osteotomy is different from suturing; osteotomy is a specialized operation that Trauma Surgery doctors must master if they want to advance further."

"Therefore, we will all spend a lot of time and energy learning such operations."

"But it can be certain that the few young people participating from our hospital, their osteotomy level cannot reach such a high level." Yuan Weihong also lifted the outermost layer of gauze in front of Fang Ziye.

"Debridement, I know you've done it pretty well, but hemostasis, when did you break through? And the level is not low?" Yuan Weihong hurriedly asked Fang Ziye some details.

Fang Ziye answered them one by one, saying that when he was in Enshi, he encountered some special emergency cases, and learned slowly in this process; also, Enshi Central Hospital has a small training room; previously Huang Kai gave him some guidance...

"En!" Yuan Weihong nodded very satisfied, his tone becoming much more formal.

"It seems that our master and disciple should communicate and exchange more in the future; otherwise, we two might have been led astray in rhythm and direction by outsiders."

"Last time, I really thought Shen Tao taught you manual reduction technique. But later I thought, that's not right either; your manual reduction technique, back when we were in this hospital, was already not low."

Yuan Weihong said, and the side dishes and Charcoal Fire Chicken had already started stir-frying.

Fang Ziye and Yuan Weihong temporarily stopped communicating.

But Yuan Weihong still had to ask some questions: "Do you have any arrangements for later? If you have no other arrangements, will you accompany Master for a walk around?"

"Master, I might need to return to the department later; after I get back, I'll check my schedule again, is that okay?" Fang Ziye originally could not refuse Yuan Weihong's invitation for him to be a tour guide.

But now, since Fang Ziye had discovered that he might be able to pass, then go out and grind some wild mobs to gain a few hundred Knowledge Points, and add Osteotomy to Level 4.

Steadily securing First Prize, then accompanying Master for a walk—wouldn't that be a perfect result?

As for higher awards, Fang Ziye felt he shouldn't waste so many Knowledge Points.

Save them first, treating it as accumulating good karma for Huang Kai.

Although the gap of thirty thousand was tempting, actually winning the Special Prize this year or next year made little difference; on the contrary, this year he only won First Prize, and next year he could still compete.

But after winning the Special Prize, he could no longer participate in similar competitions to win awards.

"Fine, clinical work is the absolute work focus; even any other task must be based on first properly arranging clinical tasks, including experiments." Yuan Weihong established this rule for Fang Ziye.

Fang Ziye nodded properly.

The atmosphere of the dinner party afterward was naturally excellent.

Yuan Weihong invited Fang Ziye and the other person, each drinking a bottle of beer, just counting it as rinsing their mouths.

After the meal ended, once Fang Ziye sent Yuan Weihong back to the hotel to rest, he immediately ran back to the Ward of the Trauma Center at Enshi Central Hospital, preparing to treat emergency wild mobs...
