Chapter 314

"Senior Brother, why do you look so worried? Is there something else that hasn't been handled well?"

In the evening, after parting with Yuan Weihong, Fang Ziye returned to the department and happened to run into Luo Tingzhu, who was working overtime organizing medical records.

Luo Tingzhu is still serving as Chief Resident; she took over all the work Fang Ziye needed to do — medical record corrections, medical order reviews, and so on — so that Fang Ziye wasn't so frantic.

Fang Ziye looked up and said, "Xiao Nuo, you staying up late doing these things — I feel more anger than being moved."

"Although the saying goes 'finish today's work today,' it depends on the specific time situation; as long as the discharge record filing isn't overdue it's fine, there's no need to review it the first moment the bed-managing doctor finishes."

Fang Ziye felt a bit of heartache; a young woman, and his own girlfriend at that, staying up late here because of his tasks — Fang Ziye wasn't made of stone.

Hearing this, Luo Tingzhu explained just right: "This way I can openly and aboveboard spend a bit more time with you, Senior Brother?"

Luo Tingzhu had no nickname for Fang Ziye — just the two words "Senior Brother."

And to distinguish from other senior brothers, when the two of them were together Luo Tingzhu wouldn't add the surname, but at other times she would actively add a surname to differentiate.

"You're worried because of this? Then I'll leave the department earlier tomorrow, so I don't cause you trouble." Who knows where Luo Tingzhu learned so many lines like this.

Saying them actually made Fang Ziye's heart skip a beat occasionally, feeling he was a complete bastard.

A beauty's sincerity hard to betray, Fang Ziye stopped struggling over Luo Tingzhu staying up late. Compared to ordinary resident physicians who need to stay up for night duty, Luo Tingzhu's current schedule regularity is truly a standout in health.

"Okay okay okay, I think you should read less Xiaohongshu; some of the talk on there isn't necessarily suitable for all couples." Fang Ziye simply pointed it out directly.

Seeing Luo Tingzhu about to explain a few more sentences, Fang Ziye suddenly changed the subject, filled with emotion: "Xiao Nuo, what do you think — what is called a Supervisor, what is called a Master?"

At this moment Fang Ziye was very conflicted, because today he suddenly had an absurd thought: compared to Teacher Deng Yong, his own teacher's sense of presence as a teacher seemed to differ by at least an order of magnitude.

Of course, Yuan Weihong definitely has the grace of rebirth toward Fang Ziye; that one paper was the pillar that let Fang Ziye regain all his confidence.

However, looking at Teacher Deng Yong in contrast — he goes outside to fight for his students directly. Even with a high-caliber talent like Song Yi coming in, Teacher Deng Yong still fought for a sliver of survival chance for Li Yuanpei.

Now, a year later, Teacher Deng Yong once again fought for a sliver of hospital-retention chance for Dong Wenqiang and Wang Yuanqi.

Although the final outcome still couldn't be perfect, at least the three people still have a thread of hope, not forced to leave desolately after Fang Ziye's vertical parachute drop.

Then there is Deng Yong and Associate Professor Xie Jinyuan.

As the saying goes, a Person of Gratitude's actions should be like words and deeds.

Teacher Deng Yong being a teacher like this — Fang Ziye felt he truly couldn't learn it, even felt a bit apprehensive about becoming one of the main tasks of a Master's Student Supervisor.

During the Chief Resident period, Fang Ziye has several major tasks!

First, definitely graduate first; second is employment.

Third, learn from Yuan Weihong's example and during the Chief Resident period win the National Natural Science Foundation of China Youth Fund, then with this Youth Fund Project obtain the Master's Student Supervisor identity.

Of course there are other tasks too — like grabbing research projects if possible — but those aren't that critical.

Fang Ziye was originally very clear about his future goals, but the current Fang Ziye, today's Fang Ziye, hesitated.

Can I really be a good teacher?

Fang Ziye had already shared with Luo Tingzhu the gossip Yuan Weihong shared with her, so he knew that this time Teacher Deng Yong not only planned a lot for Senior Brother Wang Yuanqi and the others, but also planned a lot for Associate Professor Xie Jinyuan.

Hearing this, Luo Tingzhu said: "Senior Brother, but don't forget — this is the current Teacher Deng Yong, the current teacher, the Deng Yong acting within his ability, not the Doctor Deng Yong from long ago."

"Just like Teacher Yuan Weihong, we also have to go through such a stage."

"Suppose your and my students later have to follow Teacher Yuan or Teacher Deng Yong for a PhD — the difficulty would also increase especially much."

"This itself is reincarnation; no need to pay special attention — we just need to fulfill our own duty as teachers..."

"Some things we can't give — can they still be forced?"

Perhaps because Luo Tingzhu stands outside the matter, she views it very lightly.

Luo Tingzhu is an Eight-Year Clinical Medicine Program student, an Integrated Bachelor-Master-PhD Program; from the moment she enrolled she came with a Doctoral Quota of her own, unrelated to anything — as long as a PhD Supervisor is willing to sign, she has a place to study.

Even if her intended PhD Supervisor doesn't sign, she can seek another path and still have a place to study.

Luo Tingzhu has never experienced the PhD Entrance Exam, that non-nationwide-unified-exam threshold, so Luo Tingzhu cannot empathize with that kind of wandering and helplessness.

"The prerequisite for being a teacher is definitely all big hearts."

"For example we also have to learn to, for the sake of our own students, treat our own Fellow Trainees as outsiders — just like for the sake of our own small family, prying a gap in the big family."

"However, if we don't have students helping with research projects, we fundamentally have no way to continue moving forward."

"Without students helping, purely relying on ourselves to do research is purely a dead end." Fang Ziye finished saying this and then added:

"It's not early either, you hurry home, I'll see you downstairs."

Fang Ziye spoke in a way that left no room for Luo Tingzhu to refuse.

Luo Tingzhu nodded and said again: "Senior Brother, tomorrow I'll help you organize the pre-defense!"

"Although after today's events your Doctorate Thesis Defense committee will certainly have seats for Professor Duan Hong and Professor Qi Qiaowen, a defense — no matter how cautious and heavy the attention — is never exaggerated." Luo Tingzhu analyzed for Fang Ziye as they walked.

"Mm, okay! Thanks for the hard work." After Fang Ziye got off the elevator, dressed in casual clothes, he held Luo Tingzhu's hand and walked all the way from the Orthopedics Building to the playground behind it, only then letting go of Luo Tingzhu.

……

On the return trip, Fang Ziye felt he was definitely lucky.

He has Teacher Deng Yong's regard above; Teacher Deng Yong definitely did psychological building for Wang Yuanqi and the others too many times, but never sought out Fang Ziye to speak of the current predicament, nor explained his difficulties.

That is to say, even though they're all students, Teacher Deng's regard for Fang Ziye is still first place — you just graduate early, the rest you don't need to worry about.

Then there's Yuan Weihong this Supervisor assisting; Yuan Weihong currently also won the Outstanding Youth Fund title — this means subsequently the research group's funding will increase who knows how many times.

Thinking of research funding increasing, Fang Ziye thought again of his two Fellow Trainees; their exquisiteness and resource allocation design aren't something ordinary people can conceive.

Currently, under Yuan Weihong's gate, there are only these two students.

In principle, all of Yuan Weihong's funding is handled and squandered by them; last year's newly won Outstanding Youth Fund project funding and the hospital's huge funding reward let the two not worry about money for experiments.

However, the two Fellow Trainees did do experiments, but they peeled off the highest-difficulty parts, the parts they themselves did several times with a rather outrageous number of failures, and even specially agreed on a time with Fang Ziye hoping he could help.

That is to say, the two Fellow Trainees have already arranged even Fang Ziye's rest time clearly.

Just that alone would be fine.

Lan Tianluo doesn't know where he got the talent — he actually started on the animal gene model Fang Ziye did in Enshi before; Lan Tianluo himself found the hospital's Animal Experiment Center as a cooperating unit.

Then planning to provide corresponding nude mouse models for other research groups, including but not limited to our hospital's other Orthopedics research groups, facilitating their animal experiment level research.

Equivalent to saying Lan Tianluo had already started doing business, and it was even fairly aboveboard business.

It was just that currently no orders had been received yet, and Lan Tianluo told Fang Ziye that if orders came in, Fang Ziye would still need to serve as chief technical advisor.

Fang Ziye couldn't very well say he disagreed; Lan Tianluo wanting to prop up this stall was something he had discussed with Fang Ziye a long time ago.

Just didn't expect that what his own teacher lacked the guts to pull off, Lan Tianluo actually took over.

Of course, currently, Lan Tianluo and Jie Han's tasks were still very busy.

Following up on the previous BMJ commission, the new fracture classification had opened up some ground; some professors were quite interested in this field, but to truly integrate with clinical practice, it still had to go through massive model data reconstruction.

Regarding this, BMJ commissioned again, hoping Yuan Weihong's team could further refine data details, make the different standards of the new fracture classification more concrete, and land them in practice.

Actually, these things were what Fang Ziye should have shouldered.

But Fang Ziye wasn't free to begin with; the chief resident role and graduation were mixed together, and Fang Ziye simply had no time.

A major project like this, Yuan Weihong and Lan Tianluo and the others absolutely couldn't turn a blind eye to, so starting from the second half of last year, Lan Tianluo's main data processing leaned in this direction.

The model still hasn't been fully systematically processed, so it hasn't been sent to Fang Ziye to review.

Fang Ziye returned to the chief resident's on-call room, outlined and recorded his current tasks big and small one by one, then ticked them off one by one.

Item six.

After mid-March, the master's students' re-examination phase had already neared its end; this time point wasn't far from the five-year undergraduates' graduation time, so some graduating students had to start returning to clinical rotations for internship.

The message Fang Ziye received as chief resident from the Second Clinical College's Undergraduate Department was: since interns had arrived at the department, there must be one teaching ward round and one major case discussion per week.

The specialty's teaching secretary is responsible.

The teaching secretary then distributed the tasks of different subspecialties to the chief residents.

Fang Ziye circled this task a few times, not knowing how to handle it, then continued writing item seven.

If the Emergency Department's Trauma Center can be built up, then future emergency consultation tasks will be almost gone, and what must be undertaken will be emergency surgeries.

In this way, it would actually save a large amount of time for himself.

During the chief resident period, there is still the most important task of learning surgical techniques; need to learn mature Level 2 and Level 3 surgeries in Trauma Surgery, and gradually practice them to a very high proficiency level, to prepare for learning Level 4 and even higher difficulty techniques.

Just like his own teacher, after finishing as chief resident, started learning bone transport surgery.

Now, all this falls to himself.

Although, the osteotomy correction surgery he has currently learned has already slowly gained some presence in the department.

But osteotomy correction is another popular extension direction of Trauma Surgery, representing one of the ceilings; the ceiling is not everything, the content that should be learned still cannot be dropped.

Treatment of mangled extremities must be learned.

Osteotomy correction must be further mastered and indications proficiently grasped, also must be learned.

Common complex surgeries, for example bone transport surgery, for example complex fracture lever reduction internal fixation, for example bone plastic surgery, for example bone defect...

"Hah!" So many tasks, even with the point-allocation system, Fang Ziye currently feels a bit unable to distinguish priorities.

Really don't know how other people learn it all.

For example his own teacher, for example Teacher Deng.

However, Fang Ziye had long given up on his own aptitude, so even if his aptitude was very poor, Fang Ziye couldn't be bothered to take it to heart.

Bad aptitude is just bad aptitude; as long as I can operate, it's fine.

Lying flat.

Oh dear, it's already not early; might as well stop thinking about messy things. The principle of sleeping whenever I can sleep must also be kept in mind.

Very quickly, Fang Ziye put down his phone and rapidly entered sweet dreamland.

In this dream, Fang Ziye dreamed he became a teacher, but his student's ending was very lonely, the whole way seemingly helpless.

In the end could only find employment in a prefecture-level city hospital, slowly wearing away.

And the era he graduated in, the degree of internal competition had already expanded from quality prefecture-level city hospitals to most prefecture-level cities.

Of course, with such a "sweet" dream, how could Fang Ziye, as chief resident, possibly enjoy it for long?

Past three in the early morning.

There are always some people who don't sleep, outside doing who knows what, who then end up with fractures, and just happen to walk into Zhongnan Hospital's Emergency Department...

"Sigh!" Answering the phone, Fang Ziye, understanding the Emergency Department on-duty teacher's meaning, could only resign himself to bad luck and get up to go see.

Others come for emergency care, you can't refuse treatment.

If there are no beds, only the attending specialist can say so; the Emergency Department rotation teacher absolutely cannot say that — saying it is a violation.

Non-specialty people have no qualifications to express specialty opinions, unless it's a special emergency situation.

Fang Ziye arrived at the Emergency Department and took a look; the fracture was simple.

After signing and payment, closed reduction with plaster external fixation and X-ray recheck were completed in twenty minutes.

But no matter how short the operation time, once an emergency appears, this process must be gone through once, and it cycles forever...
