Chapter 284

At seven forty-nine PM on New Year's Eve, Luo Tingzhu had already attended two New Year's banquets and rushed back out.

The tea table was filled with fruit platters, melon seeds, peanuts, pistachios, hickory nuts, and other dried fruits.

Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu sat side by side, facing the projector's screen, which was playing the Spring Festival Gala — not funny, but rather a bit funny in a different way……

At some point, Fang Ziye's left hand had already looped around Luo Tingzhu's neck, and Luo Tingzhu's body was already half-nestled in Fang Ziye's arms.

Luo Tingzhu was currently peeling a babagan tangerine, and fed one-third of it to Fang Ziye, who had only one free hand — putting one segment into Fang Ziye's mouth, and stuffing the other two segments into Fang Ziye's hand.

Luo Tingzhu herself pursed her lips, chewing with a gurgling sound……

Both of their breathing was very light, both immersed in watching TV, as if nothing at all could distract the two of them.

Everything seemed like a time of peaceful years.

Fang Ziye's mobile phone flashed with vibration.

Fang Ziye thought it was his parents; he picked it up to look, and discovered it wasn't a call from home, but a call from Qin Geluoluo, Brother Luo from the department.

This was New Year's Eve; Fang Ziye's current schedule was still abroad, so Fang Ziye pretended not to see it, letting it vibrate for a while.

Luo Tingzhu raised her eyelids, her brows furrowing slightly: "How would Teacher Qin know you're in Han City?"

"Did you already ask Teacher Yuan?"

Luo Tingzhu was very cunning, so her expression of wanting Fang Ziye to answer the phone was also very subtle.

"Not necessarily; yesterday wasn't I called to the department by my Master?"

"Qin Geluo could definitely learn from others that I'd returned; calling me today is probably to make me go on duty at the department, and I don't really want to go."

"After the New Year I'll have to take over this position; then there'll really be endless shifts."

Fang Ziye spoke to here, his tone turning very realistic again: "Besides, today's a holiday; my Master's National Natural Science Foundation grant task didn't even let me glance at it, so why should I have to drill into the department?"

Fang Ziye knew the subsequent arrangements, knew he would be in clinical work for a very long period of time; then his Knowledge Points accumulation rate would be in a high-speed operation phase for a very, very long period of time.

Unless Qin Geluo encountered a super emergency situation; but in that kind of situation, Qin Geluo would definitely have Yuan Weihong call him, rather than calling himself to summon him to the department.

However, this time Fang Ziye was still wrong.

Not even twenty seconds.

Yuan Weihong's phone call rang——

Fang Ziye saw this and was slightly startled.

Yuan Weihong said: "Ziye, you hurry to the department first; several car accident injuries occurred near the hospital, in a short time you, the patients piled up in Emergency are extremely many, Qin Geluo alone can't handle the diagnosis, need to summon the second-line shift."

"But Nie Xuehua Brother Hua has already returned to his hometown, third-line shift's Vice Professor Chen Fang isn't in Han City either, so can only temporarily have me go take a look."

"Later if there's an all-hands consultation, if the second and third-line shifts can't find people, big trouble will happen."

"You go to the department first." Yuan Weihong simply explained a few sentences.

When Yuan Weihong called, Fang Ziye actually already realized things were not good.

Hearing Yuan Weihong finish, Fang Ziye hurriedly replied: "Okay Master, I'll go over right away; I was just preparing to answer the call too, but I went to the restroom, and it disconnected just as I came out."

Fang Ziye casually found a reason to cope.

"Mm, because the situation is urgent, Qin Geluo couldn't contact you, so he came directly to find me."

"Hurry over; I'm driving over." Yuan Weihong finished speaking quickly, then hung up the phone.

Fang Ziye tidied up a little, saw Luo Tingzhu also preparing to depart.

So he hurriedly said: "You're definitely not going to the department; not everyone needs to work overtime; you wait here; if I can come back before New Year's Eve, we can still cook some chaoshou to eat."

"If you go too, then later for New Year's crossing there won't be anything to eat."

At the junction of Chongqing, Hunan Province, and Hubei Province, on New Year's Eve evening and the first morning of Spring Festival, there is the custom of eating chaoshou, similar to eating dumplings for the New Year.

Just because it's close to the south, many people aren't used to eating dumplings, so it evolved into chaoshou.

Luo Tingzhu thought for a moment, then still nodded: "Okay, Senior Brother."

"If not busy, come back early; if the operating table needs manpower, then we'll cross the New Year together in the operating room."

Fang Ziye heard this and smiled, waving his hand as he went out the door.

……

On the road, Fang Ziye looked at his panel——

【Current Knowledge Points Balance: 13542.1】

【Medical Basic Theory: Surgical Science Level 3 129/500, Orthopedics Level 3 151/500, Trauma Surgery Level 3 332/500, Hand Surgery Level 3 43/500, Joint Surgery Level 3 21/500, Sports Medicine Level 3 2/500……】

Medical Basic Theory, all levels still Level 3. Although compared to mid-year in Enshi, there has been improvement, Fang Ziye still felt this bit of strength was still not quite enough.

At first, Fang Ziye didn't feel Basic Theory had a very important role; just knowing it was fine, having a certain diagnostic cognitive ability was enough.

However, Fang Ziye can never forget, during that Emergency surgery in Enshi.

When facing that Doctor Nie Mingxian, who has now returned to Jingdu, his own gaps in treatment operation cognition became his greatest obstacle.

Before, adhering to the principle of maximizing Knowledge Points usage, Fang Ziye saved whenever he could.

But now the Big Fool's position is already set in stone; no matter what, he has to go up.

Whether pretending, or just filling this position.

Since he took on the work, he must handle it well.

And to handle the Chief Resident's work well, operation ability is one part; more important is actually cognition of disease types, cognition of optimal treatment choices.

Theory is a very important link.

So, Fang Ziye continued to plug gaps and fill deficiencies.

The panel became——

【Medical Basic Theory: Surgical Science Level 4 0/5000, Orthopedics Level 4 0/5000, Trauma Surgery Level 3 0/5000, Hand Surgery Level 3 0/5000, Joint Surgery Level 3 21/500, Sports Medicine Level 3 2/500……】

Fang Ziye did not rashly add points.

Joint Surgery and Sports Medicine have no so-called pure Emergency; they are all sub-specialties that can at most wait a day to see Outpatient Clinic; no amputation, and no one dies.

Fang Ziye was not a professional sports medicine and joint surgery doctor, so naturally he would not recklessly waste knowledge points adding theoretical knowledge and basic skills in those two areas.

There was absolutely no need.

【Medical Basic Operational Skills: Medical Basic Physical Examination Level 4 12/5000, Suturing Technique Level 4 23/5000, Hemostasis Technique Level 4 51/5000, Incision Technique Level 4 99/5000, Knot Tying Technique Level 4 5/5000, Debridement Technique Level 3 231/500, X-ray Reading Technique Level 3 233/500, CT Reading Technique Level 3 209/500, Puncture Technique Level 3 2/500, Surgical Routine Instrument Operation Experience Level 3 9/500, Medical Routine Examination Reading Experience Level 3 41/500.】

During his time abroad, Fang Ziye had few opportunities even in the laboratory, let alone in clinical practice.

But although he could not enter clinical practice to operate, regarding learning image reading, Fang Ziye still spent a certain amount of time.

After Luo Tingzhu went to the laboratory, Fang Ziye had nothing else to do, so only reading books remained.

Reading books, besides increasing basic theory, would also increase experience related to image reading.

Because for image reading, reading more books and reading more images was operation. Operation could make perfect.

And besides image reading, what Fang Ziye could do was retrieve some routine examination materials to read, as long as he did not neglect them.

In his other time, Fang Ziye focused solely on writing his graduation thesis.

【Medical Specialty Basic Skills: Manual Reduction Technique Level 4 3549/5000, Vascular Incision Technique Level 4 4/5000, Thrombectomy Technique Level 4 4/5000, Vascular Anastomosis Technique Level 4 5/5000, Pressure Hemostasis Technique Level 3 0/500, Suture Ligation Hemostasis Technique Level 3 0/500, Nerve Anastomosis Technique Level 3 2/500, Limb Simple Fracture Open Reduction Internal Fixation Technique Level 4 0/5000, Pelvic Fracture Open Reduction Internal Fixation Technique Level 4 505/5000, Tendon Suturing Technique Level 2 3/50……】

Specialty skills had almost no change.

For example, the proficiency of Pelvic Fracture Open Reduction Internal Fixation Technique still remained at the level when Fang Ziye, before going abroad, when he was in Enshi, Senior Brother Wu Xuanqi asked the director of Enshi Central Hospital for trouble, and Fang Ziye cooperated with Shen Tao to do pelvic fracture surgery.

Half a year passed, almost no progress.

【Specialty Skills: Rehabilitation Medicine—Massage Level 5 11/50000, Rehabilitation Medicine—Neuromyography Level 4 101/5000, Rehabilitation Medicine—Drug Therapy Level 4 31/5000, Osteotomy Level 3 203/500, Bone Harvesting and Grafting Technique (Compression Bone Grafting) Level 3 202/500……】

Specialty skills had no change either, just that there were many useless skills.

Fang Ziye did not know whether these many rehabilitation medicine skills could still be used later.

But it seemed that spending more than six thousand knowledge points to exchange for Kai Ye being able to return to the hospital's administrative department to work, and being able to barely walk with crutches, was already considered very worthwhile.

【Specialty Advanced Skills……】

【Specialty Frontier Skills: Osteotomy Correction Technique Level 3 201/500……】

Actually, Osteotomy Correction Technique had already reached a certain proficiency before Fang Ziye went abroad.

At that time, when speaking to Yuan Weihong, he said he had not completed learning Osteotomy Correction Technique, but in fact, at that time, if anyone were to test Fang Ziye, Fang Ziye could still meet the requirements and would not go back on his word.

Of course, if no one else brought it up, Fang Ziye would not bring it up himself.

Fang Ziye had already made enough of a splash.

In this year, regardless of major, Fang Ziye won the Special Prize in the academic scholarship, and the prize money of the Special Prize was higher than the prize money of the Provincial Young Physician Skills Competition, totaling eighty thousand.

Wasn't that enough of a splash?

Among the orthopedics graduate students, Doctor Fang Ziye planned to graduate early and start work early—wasn't that enough to attract others' fire?

And among the young physicians, Fang Ziye still overwhelmed everyone and won the Special Prize, although the reason for winning that Special Prize was a coincidence.

But whether it was a coincidence or luck, both were part of strength.

Finally, regarding the entire orthopedics field.

Fang Ziye, as a domestic scholar, published three high-scoring home-field articles, one of which was a commissioned article from BMJ.

What is a home-field article? It means an article fully produced by your own team, having nothing to do with honorary authorship—that is a home-field article.

Of Fang Ziye's three home-field articles, one was about tumors, with an impact factor as high as 28.

The other commissioned article was BMJ; the name of the BMJ journal itself does not need an impact factor to measure it specially, as one of the four top medical journals.

A professor publishing them brings many benefits.

As for the other article about HK2 gene knockout animal models, although its impact factor is not high, the gold content of this type of article cannot be measured simply by impact factor.

Establishing such a pioneering animal model represents the beginning of a pathway's biological significance.

For this pathway to have biological significance, it must first be verified that knocking it out is harmless to the organism...

Of course, Fang Ziye reckoned that the reason he could achieve so many academic results was still relying on his two auxiliary skills.

【Auxiliary Skills: Medical Basic Cell Experiment Technique Level 4 45/5000, Animal Basic Experiment Technology Pack Level 5 (0/500000).】

"Level 3 is already very useful in the department, Level 4 is a proficiency level that can enter the hall of elegance, and Level 5 is already considered somewhat extraordinary."

"The operational proficiency of medical operational skills is not improved like a joke; every level raised, even every step of a level raised, every hundred points of proficiency, will be truly reflected in one's hands."

"My current Level 5 skills are not many, and both Level 5 skills are unrelated to true clinical practice, but it doesn't matter, for I am only a Chief Resident, not a professor leading a group, so I do not need to be responsible for all surgeries."

"What I need to do is conduct routine diagnosis and referral for the most basic emergency disease types..."

"For those I truly cannot handle, there are Big Brothers I can ask for help; there is no need to put too much pressure on myself."

"Use good steel on the blade; knowledge points should still be saved first, but if I can save a patient's life at a critical moment, I will not hesitate to save and accumulate them."

"Anyway, adding points doesn't waste time." Fang Ziye muttered in a low voice.

Soon he arrived at the department.

Trauma Surgery, Fang Ziye discovered, Fellow Trainee Wu Chengwen, who was on duty, and Surgical Team member Xiao He, a native of Han City, were both busy in the department without stop.

In the department, there was no sign of Qin Geluo.

But Xiao He recognized Fang Ziye at first glance, and knew Fang Ziye was coming.

It was just unknown whether it was because Fang Ziye had left for too long, or because Xiao He was too nervous, so after recognizing Fang Ziye, he hurriedly said to Wu Chengwen: "Senior Brother, the strongman Fellow Trainee caught by Brother Luo has come."

Xiao He actually ran to the office to report just like that, leaving Fang Ziye, who heard Xiao He's words clearly, with his mouth corner twitching, not knowing what to say in his heart.

Hearing Xiao He's shout, Wu Chengwen hurriedly walked out from inside, and saw Fang Ziye just quickly twisting on a white coat after coming out of the Doctor's Office, then hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He scolded Xiao He: "You are not a first-year Fellow Trainee, don't you know people? You should call him Senior Brother Fang."

After speaking, Wu Chengwen hurriedly said with a mournful face: "Senior Brother Fang, you came just in time, otherwise I would have exploded; today there are not a few patients in the department..."

Fang Ziye looked at the patients in the Doctor's Office, some with family members, some without, feeling everyone was very pitiful...

But without time to compose his emotions, Fang Ziye walked toward the office while asking: "Xiao He, is your Master called Brother Xi?"

Xiao He, upon hearing this, immediately had a fallen expression.

He hurriedly followed up with flattery: "Senior Brother, don't, Senior Brother..."
