Chapter 32: Down-to-Earth, Embarking on a New Journey (Asking for Favorites, Asking for Follows)

Alcohol is not a good thing; drinking harms the body.

This is Fang Ziye's deepest realization.

In the evening, Fang Ziye ordered a bowl of congee, sipping it into his mouth in small mouthfuls. Only then did he feel his stomach become much more comfortable.

Then he opened his mobile phone, and Fang Ziye discovered that his fellow trainee Jie Han had sent him a message.

"Senior Brother, Master might have failed his thesis defense." Jie Han said so.

"Thesis defense?" Fang Ziye did not react for a moment.

But he immediately had a sudden realization: "You're talking about Qingqian, right?"

"Mhm, but this kind of thing, we can't help with either."

"Senior Brother, I'm coming to the department again tomorrow, please look after me then." Jie Han asked cautiously.

Jie Han had gone to write papers on a half-detached basis since late August; in fact, part of this was to add bricks and tiles to Fang Ziye's doctoral studies.

Fang Ziye replied: "Speaking so politely with your Senior Brother is being courteous."

"When there's something you need help with, just call out anytime."

"There is one thing, Senior Brother, can you impart a few tips on learning operations? I feel rubber skin suturing and tofu incision are both very difficult." Jie Han replied like this.

He was probably also awakened by a sentence from Yuan Weihong.

To work at Zhongnan Hospital, being a Senior Technician is an essential quality; you can have clinical operations that aren't top-tier, but they cannot be not good enough.

Pure research work can let you take the research route, become a laboratory director and person in charge, but if you want to become a top expert, a director, then you must have a certain clinical competence.

This is the same meaning as clinical doctors needing to master sufficient research competence.

"First steady your hands; needle holding without shaking, knife holding steady enough — that is the most entry-level basic skill. Basically, if you practice knife holding and needle holding well, this rubber skin and tofu incision won't be difficult."

"You can try hanging a weight with chopsticks; this is upper arm strength, not pure wrist strength." Fang Ziye's method Jie Han couldn't learn, so Fang Ziye could only reference his own practice methods from back then.

Making good preparations, making full preparations, is the greatest weapon for others to give you more burden.

Medicine is a discipline facing patients; it cannot let you keep trial-and-error — it's best not to have even a single chance; otherwise, you'll miss the opportunity.

"Okay, Senior Brother."

"Senior Brother, will you continue going to the training room later? Or like Senior Sister Luo, planning to stay permanently in the laboratory?" Jie Han asked this.

"Probably have to run all three sides. Although Teacher Deng's talk of early graduation is like a pie in the sky, if in two years my own preparations are full, it's not impossible to strive for an early graduation opportunity."

"Compressing three years into two, time would be tight, but counting the remaining half year plus of the current Master's stage, it's actually still okay."

"I won't do full detachment, rest assured." Fang Ziye understood Jie Han's meaning.

Jie Han is also a rookie in clinical work; just entered the department for the first month, and by month-end went half-detached to write papers; some routines aren't proficient yet, still need this Senior Brother Fang to guide him.

If Fang Ziye were already 'transcendent' now, drilling straight into the laboratory, he'd have to slowly fumble on his own with no one to lead the way.

But Fang Ziye's knowledge points' biggest source is clinical; how could he so easily do full detachment?

Just saying, the laboratory must be gone to; you can later not take the pure research route, but you cannot completely not know it; otherwise, when you need to apply for research projects later, how will you complete them?

"Then that's great, Senior Brother, see you tomorrow."

"Mhm, sleep after finishing the congee."

"Senior Brother is also drinking congee, right, Senior Brother's alcohol tolerance at noon was off the charts."

"Nonsense, it's the body burden that's off the charts." Fang Ziye replied; he didn't dare brag that he holds his liquor well.

"..."

October 8th is a Friday, and also Teacher Deng's surgery day.

However, because of the patient pile-up from the National Day week, the group's surgery volume surged; therefore, on this day, Teacher Deng, Associate Professor Xie, and others went at it like madmen.

Let alone the doctoral students, even Qin Geluo, whose suturing speed was slightly slow, was chased off the stage, and Yuan Weihong personally operated the knife to suture, just seeking the fastest surgery turnover.

Seeing this scene, Fang Ziye decisively brought fellow trainee Jie Han and left the operating room, because none of today's arranged surgeries had patients under his and Jie Han's charge; the chance to get on stage couldn't be touched at all.

Just, Fang Ziye and Jie Han had only just come to the training room when Senior Brother Sun Shaoqing was treating everyone to coffee.

The moment he saw Fang Ziye, it was as if he saw his own blood brother, laughing: "Fang Doctor is here?"

"Senior Brother Fang."

"Senior Brother Fang."

Hearing Sun Shaoqing's shout, quite a few people turned their heads to look, politely calling out "Senior Brother Fang."

"Senior Brother Sun, you just keep teasing me."

"No matter, I have thick skin; you call me Academician and I'd be happy too." Fang Ziye joked.

No way, this kind of teasing, Fang Ziye also couldn't not accept.

"Just kidding! ~" Sun Shaoqing is from Rongcheng, Sichuan Province; originally applied to Sichuan University's Huaxi Medical School, wasn't admitted, so came to Han City University's Medical School; now already a doctoral student, wants to stay at the hospital, also wants to return to Huaxi Hospital.

"Right right, everyone come over here; aren't you all curious how Ziye studies?"

"I'm curious too; just let our Fang Doctor give us a little guidance?"

"Once he stopped writing papers, his operation improvement speed is like riding a rocket." Sun Shaoqing asked, passing over his mobile phone: "Ziye, Jie Han, you two order a cup too."

The doctoral stage subsidy is very high, two to three thousand plus per month; therefore, Sun Shaoqing treating, no one stood on ceremony with him; Fang Ziye ordered while speaking.

"Senior Brother Sun, actually there's no shortcut; it's just training room, clinical, and going home to buy some materials to practice a bit yourself."

"You still don't know me; average aptitude, particular about stupid methods — slow bird flies first." Fang Ziye replied.

My shortcut is plug-in point allocation; how to say that?

"That's true too!"

"Let me tell you; your Senior Brother Fang is extremely, extremely diligent and reliable; usually on duty, for his own charged patients, he holds literature and learns while referencing it."

"This kind of attitude, you all should learn a bit; read more literature. It benefits you."

"Operation is the thing within the scope of surgical treatment; literature, reading, research — that is understanding the scope, is cognition. Operation can only determine the lower limit of your future work quality; what truly raises the upper limit is reading volume." Sun Shaoqing also shared a bit of his own insights.

Then he once again began his own practice.

Now then, Sun Shaoqing is also a PhD Year 3 student; the time left for him to simply try to Reverse Fate Through High-Impact Papers by writing High Score Papers is no longer Abundant either — one can only say, continue to Improve one's own Professional Operation, give oneself an Opportunity for Hospital Retention; Worst Case, just go out and find a good job.

The extent of Internal Competition among PhDs is Not Less Than that of Master's Students Job Hunting, perhaps even more so.

Fang Ziye hasn't thought of other ways to raise Knowledge Points for the time being; the Patients under his charge are just these few, Outpatient Teaching can only follow his Master Yuan Weihong, the Operating Room has No Opportunity — the rest is just relying on time to Grind, isn't it?

Fang Ziye wondered whether he could find another Breakthrough from the Laboratory.

If that still doesn't work either, Fang Ziye also considered whether to try applying for the Targeted PhD Support service team, go on a Rural Rotation — Estimated to have pretty good Patient contact Opportunities.
