Chapter 697: Leadership Meeting!

Evening light pierced through the double-layer insulated glass of the curtain wall; the argon gas in the interlayer refracted the light into rainbow spots, and the pale gray marble veins seemed to pulse with natural striations like gold leaf.

Tea fragrance overflowed from the rim of the glazed tea cup; Fang Ziye, dressed in plain clothes, sat opposite Professor Duan Hong, watching the Doctor who poured the tea leave before he spoke:

"Professor Duan, compared to your department, ours is truly like an airtight little workshop."

Duan Hong wore a dark blue shirt under a white coat, a dark red tie knot held straight by the coat's V-neck; Duan Hong crossed his legs, leaning back against the genuine leather sofa chair, the double chin on his neck opening and closing: "Ziye, if you like it, come over here."

"Your hospital's Orthopedics Building is a bit old, though."

Duan Hong was indeed not as simple and honest as he looked; Fang Ziye voluntarily ceded a bit of initiative, hurriedly cutting off the topic: "Poverty does not change the family lintel; downfall does not alter the father's surname."

"Envy is envy, but in the end one still lacks such innate fortune."

"Today I presumptuously visited; I hope I didn't disturb Teacher Duan's work arrangements?"

Duan Hong tilted his head, as if intent on kneading the poise Fang Ziye had just mustered into fragments: "What if I say you disturbed me?"

"Then I am truly sorry, Teacher Duan; I will come again next time." Fang Ziye stood up to leave.

Duan Hong first pressed down his chubby palm: "Alright alright, drop the posture, so affected, isn't it tiring?"

"Professor Fang Ziye, are you planning to switch careers or what? Today you're so precisely studying word choice and sentence crafting?"

Fang Ziye's expression returned to calm; after sitting down his hands again rested flat on the edges of his kneecaps: "Teacher Duan, my Master always says I don't respect you enough."

"The old me wasn't young and ignorant, like a frog in a well watching the moon in the sky; now that I've walked a stretch on this road I discover, seeing Professor Duan you is like a mote of driftwood seeing the blue sky."

This was indeed part of Fang Ziye's current mindset.

Between the former Fang Ziye and Duan Hong, the hierarchical gap was truly too large; Fang Ziye also felt his former self was really bold enough.

Fang Ziye is currently only an Associate Professor; the leap from Associate Professor to Professor is said to be as difficult as a tribulation crossing; those who can endure are only one in eleven.

At the Professor level, there are also ordinary professors and professors like Han Yuanxiao; having the name in vain, enjoying corresponding treatment, yet in reality still "flustered and panicked"!

Further up are those like Professor Qi, Professor Li of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Professor Wu who served as his defense committee back then — Senior Professors who can securely be regional lords, truly deserving of the name.

Another step up reaches the tier of Deng Yong, An Lumming — they can touch the ceiling of a province's certain specialty, but wanting to leap further, there is no hope in this lifetime.

Then there is Duan Hong's kind — "National Treasure Doctor" level famous doctors known nationwide, possessing publicly recognized National Treasure level bigwig strength!

Duan Hong lightly raised his eyelids; the fat at the corner of his mouth twitched horizontally, unable to hold back his composure breaking: "The old Fang Ziye, when speaking to me, was never this polite."

"That's why I say the old me was ignorant; this special visit is to consult Teacher Duan you." Fang Ziye said.

Duan Hong then said: "Since it's a consultation, I'll give you a clear path — come to Tongji, follow me."

"If you really insist on the packaged demand of going with Deng Yong and Yuan Weihong, then I'll go get people to fight Li Guohua and them."

Duan Hong is also crafty and cunning, completely not playing by the rules.

Duan Hong's sudden flash of the sword made Fang Ziye's eyelids immediately start jumping wildly.

Not only does Zhongnan Hospital have old-generation figures; as far as Fang Ziye knows, Tongji Hospital has Old Professor Xue Yuhui who retired from the Chief position but remains in the department — he was the previous Trauma Surgery bigwig, and also a "soon to retire" National Treasure level.

Further up, there are Old Professors Peng Yuan, Old Zou and others who fought Li Guohua, Xiong Zhizhang and them for a lifetime and never lost.

Therefore, it has actually always been Duan Hong yielding to Fang Ziye, not that he has no way to deal with Fang Ziye.

If Duan Hong really wanted to poach someone, whether Dong Yaohui or Li Guohua and Xiong Zhizhang and others, none could stop him.

"Teacher Duan, us young people's matters, no need to trouble the old seniors."

"Everyone has their own aspirations."

"A single outstanding bloom is not as good as a hundred flowers blooming together; Tongji Hospital is already full of talent, and doesn't lack a Fang Ziye." Fang Ziye was very low-key, not doubting the truth of Duan Hong's words in the slightest.

"Then Professor Fang this trip to find me, is it to inspect the research project progress? Or to interrogate our team's advancement?" Duan Hong, having seized the initiative, wouldn't let go!

Fang Ziye understood the other's implication: "Teacher Duan, since I came to Han City, I've never once gone to a Bone Tumor Department other than Zhongnan Hospital's!"

Fang Ziye currently leads the clinical project of Bone Tumor and microcirculation-instrument microcirculation chemotherapy, responsible for supervision, auditing, and data statistics.

Tongji Hospital's Bone Tumor Department can not serve as a clinical pilot, but cannot escape oversight.

Duan Hong chuckled honestly and nodded, arms crossed to hide his chubby hands, saying: "Right, you not coming directly to the Bone Tumor Department means you discovered a problem and reported it straight up."

"You're not the assassin; you're just the middleman who tips off the executioner."

"Anyway you definitely don't have the permission to kill directly, everyone understands."

Only then did Fang Ziye discover he fundamentally couldn't catch this old fox Professor Duan Hong's moves; his own rank couldn't compare either.

He occupied the innate advantage of identity, and simply admitted inferiority, finding his own strong point:

"Teacher Duan, this time I came for our Trauma Surgery, hoping to consult Teacher Duan — what future planning can our Trauma Surgery have?"

At this moment, Fang Ziye settled on a point in his heart; from now on if anyone says Duan Hong is honest and kind, he'll acknowledge it, but if they say Professor Duan Hong is not good with words, he'll definitely slap them.

Duan Hong's level has long reached the realm of returning to simplicity; no need to act coquettish like other old foxes — just using the most ordinary moves, he can make your soul tremble in disorder.

If he truly employs corresponding means, you probably won't even have the qualification to face him head-on.

Similar moves are unrelated to talent, related to personal experience accumulation; Fang Ziye is still not his Rival.

Seeing Fang Ziye steer the topic back, Duan Hong loosened his hands; his crossed Erlang leg also slowly lowered, leather shoes hitting the ground with a crisp but not harsh sound.

The coated glass curtain wall filtered the light beams into liquid amber, flowing gurglingly indoors along a 45-degree slant; the manually chiseled ice crack patterns on the floor stretched their sinews and bones in the twilight.

Duan Hong spoke not yet moved; he reached out to pick up the tea cup before him, sipped a mouthful then gently set it down, then picked up and set down again, the whole process without a word.

Fang Ziye also accompanied him in drinking a small sip, also not making a sound to disturb...

After a full five or six minutes, Duan Hong stretched his slightly fat neck, and in a low voice said: "Professor Fang, no matter how the specialty develops, the bottom line and skeleton should all be for the patient's good."

"Me personally, my teacher, and my seniors, have all told me more than once — those who support us are forever the patients who come and go back."

"We are first a doctor, then a professor, a researcher."

Fang Ziye was not surprised Professor Duan Hong could say these words; this Dao bone is certainly the fundamental core of every famous hospital being able to have today's Jianghu status.

Fang Ziye also actively clarified his own shortcoming: "Teacher Duan, my insight is shallow, I only know the surface of research lines; currently I am ignorant of what our Hubei Province's development needs."

Doing research and doing grounded research are two different matters.

Mangled extremity limb-salvage surgery, limb-salvage surgery under microcirculation instrument intervention, limb replantation surgery — all walk purely research lines, only pursuing violent output.

But Fang Ziye knows clearly, similar lines won't continue forever; Fang Ziye will also forever be unable to, within a single specialty, forever break through the outermost binding line, and in a short time bring Zhongnan Hospital to crush all the world's hospitals' research groups into scattered fragments.

Therefore, in the gaps between these major breakthroughs, Fang Ziye inevitably had to focus on the practical level, considering some real and down-to-earth small projects, precisely controlling the next development path.

This is what a Discipline Leader of a province should do.

Everyone understands the general direction: make Trauma Surgery the world's number one, turn Zhongnan Hospital into a holy land of Trauma Surgery, and have all the world's scholars come here on pilgrimage.

But to achieve this step, one cannot rely only on imagination and boasting.

There must be a blueprint for gradual development, advancing step by step.

Duan Hong's eyelids suddenly twitched upward; after a flash in his gaze, his eyeballs rolled several circles in succession: "Fang Ziye, are you asking about the future development direction of your Zhongnan Hospital, or the future development direction of our entire Hubei Province Trauma Surgery?"

"Why do I feel you've come for the former?"

The reason Duan Hong had this conclusion was mainly because he also knew that Fang Ziye currently already stood at the 'upper echelon' of Zhongnan Hospital Orthopedics, and now needed to make decisions on direction.

Fang Ziye also had nowhere else to consult, so he sought out Duan Hong.

Development is like a race; being behind means there is a very clear goal: surpass the people ahead.

Leading is like pioneering; if the path is chosen wrong, it is very likely to let a whole group of people sink into a quagmire...

Today's discipline development is not merely as simple as pulling some contestants to race; besides one person running, you also have to lead people to run, lead a team, even a region's super team...

Fang Ziye hurriedly said: "Teacher Duan, both."

"If Teacher Duan doesn't mind, please don't be stingy with your guidance." Fang Ziye slightly cupped his fist in salute, speaking truthfully.

Although Fang Ziye currently stabilized Zhongnan Hospital's present tasks and situation, as the "leadership," Fang Ziye had to focus on the future; after stabilizing Zhongnan Hospital's situation, after Yuan Weihong and the others had all practiced their basic skills, what more to do to better benefit patients.

This requires a detailed analysis of Hubei Province's disease classification, disease type distribution, the current service capabilities of hospitals at different levels, the gaps and loopholes in the entire Hubei Province Trauma Surgery disease type big circle.

These gaps and loopholes refer to the missing weak points of technical barriers that not even the whole country, let alone the whole world, has crossed.

They are the kind of technical loopholes that other provinces like Magic Capital can do, but Hubei Province still cannot.

"Your hospital's development direction is your internal affair; I won't make a final judgment."

"But last time, my own calculation was that our Hubei Province Trauma Surgery should form a multi-center, cluster-biased development blockchain."

"More concisely, it is to develop medical alliances with different eccentric cores; for example, our hospital as the core for the bone defect direction; Zhongnan Hospital as the core for the nonunion direction."

"Peking Union Medical College Hospital as the core for the complex fracture fixation direction, Provincial People's Hospital as the core for the severe soft tissue infection direction."

"The development directions of our four hospitals each operate independently, with regional core advantages complementing each other."

"On this basis, strive for a breakthrough in mangled extremity limb salvage surgery; this is striving to break through a hot direction."

"If forced to understand in layman's terms, taking your hospital as an example, it can be said to be maintaining the existing treatment advantage in nonunion treatment, using this as daily work, as foundation..."

"Mangled extremity limb salvage surgery is the dream."

After Duan Hong spoke to here, he reached out his right hand and touched his right ear: "But your hospital is amazing, you broke the dream, turned the 'project disease type' everyone wanted to do into a daily disease type, and on this basis, extended functional reconstruction surgery, improved the microcirculation instrument..."

"Now you ask me what the next development direction for our Hubei Province should be, I also have no way to organize it comprehensively and meticulously."

"Only able to, last year, hastily form a temporary resolution: that is, centered on our four hospitals, focus on developing advantageous disease types, with mangled extremity limb salvage surgery and postoperative functional reconstruction as the core advantageous treatment bias."

"Transfer the previous core weight of bone defect, nonunion, and orthopedic disease infection to Liyuan Hospital, City Hospital and other hospitals."

Hearing this, Fang Ziye's brow lightly furrowed, uncertainly asking: "Teacher Duan, then does this count as disturbing your planning?"

Duan Hong immediately raised his head, scanned Fang Ziye up and down; not finding any mockery in Fang Ziye's tone, he then scolded: "Does Deng Yong teach you every day how to anger people to death without paying with your life?"

"Mangled extremity limb salvage surgery is currently a very hot central clinical project in Trauma Surgery worldwide; if we can be the first to reach shore in this field, it will be our Hubei Province's permanent advantageous technique."

"Just like Magic Capital Sixth Hospital and Huashan Hospital's limb replantation, like Jishuitan Hospital's pediatric triple osteotomy correction."

"The whole world must follow Huashan standards or Jishuitan standards."

"We also have our own Hubei Province standard, or your 'Zhongnan Standard'!"

"Don't be lacking in heart-eye, okay?"

"As for what kind of breakthrough the next hot field will be, I can't say right now either."

"But if analyzing according to our Hubei Province's existing patient groups, our Han City currently does not lack a standard technique treatment circle; it's just that in prefecture-level city hospitals, mature teams for various standard techniques are still lacking."

"What our several hospitals need to do is still to innovate while maintaining stability, explore treatment of new disease types, simplify and innovate treatment of existing disease types..."

"Of course, if you still have spare capacity, helping prefecture-level city hospitals cultivate and establish mature standard technique teams, letting prefecture-level city patients run fewer errands, is also a very down-to-earth pioneering achievement."

"But doing it this way, there is only down-to-earth practicality, no recognized achievements at all." Duan Hong could be considered to have analyzed the pros and cons quite objectively.

Duan Hong's thinking coincided unexpectedly with the planning of Dean Chen Song and others in the sanatorium.

But Duan Hong was ultimately not a sanatorium person, so his thinking would have one more layer of universal benefit psychology.

Hearing this, Fang Ziye shuddered: "Thank you for Teacher Duan's reminder."

Duan Hong spoke to here, eyebrows flashing: "Originally, I also prepared some project lines we could concentrate on breaking through later. Including but not limited to five-year plans, ten-year plans."

"But these things were all turned into waste paper by you, so I won't show off my meager skills before an expert in front of you."

"At present, combining your situation, I did make a summary in private."

"Ziye, if you have the heart, the directions you can choose later still include these: the first is to deeply cultivate the refinement and skill simplification of mangled extremity limb salvage surgery, strive to let even some county hospital doctors be able to carry out such surgeries."

"This can benefit some limb salvage needs where patients cannot be transferred to prefecture-level city hospitals in time." Duan Hong very cautiously laid out the lines and purposes one by one.

"The second is individualized prosthesis treatment of bone defect; you and Wu Xuanqi already have subsequent plans for this, but what I want to say is, if you can really successfully cooperate with Professor Zhang of Huaxi Hospital."

"Then in the field of materials science, prosthesis design is not limited to individualized prostheses."

"Third, I heard Wu Xuanqi say that Ziye you not only have bone tumor basic research projects, but also new project directions related to animal experiments."

"These are all good things, all jade embryos that all teams dream of; they must be put to good use, don't let them gather dust on attic shelves, but turn them into actual practical uses."

"With these, Ziye the things you can do are actually not few."

"If some branch routes are willing to cooperate with our province's other teams, it's enough for our teams to work for ten or twenty years."

"Doing big projects is not a small team's matter; it should be a region's, a province's, even a country's focus direction."

"As long as this direction's base is solid enough to bear the weight, one can choose to deeply cultivate it."

Duan Hong's words were pointed.

Hearing this, Fang Ziye cupped his hands in thanks again: "Thank you for Teacher Duan's trust; I will certainly continue to work hard."

Duan Hong stated that as long as your cake is made big enough, and there's enough for people at our level to eat their fill, then we won't go out of our way to interrogate other research directions.

After all, every super team will ultimately only have one or two public "spokespersons"!

Even a top-tier talent like Yuan Lao, without a team's support, could not have single-handedly achieved his current depth.

If someone stands in front, there must be someone standing behind.

Previously, Wu Xuanqi, people from Tongji Hospital, and Peking Union Medical College Hospital had all vied for it, and Fang Ziye won with a clean sweep, so Duan Hong, as the representative of Tongji Hospital's Trauma Surgery Department, also "accepted the loss gracefully"!

"Teacher Duan, if there's an opportunity, I hope to pay a visit to the two venerable seniors Peng Yuan. I wonder if Teacher Duan could introduce me?" Fang Ziye asked politely.

"No, you'd better not see those two old professors for now. I'm afraid they'll beat you to death or beat me to death."

Duan Hong shook his head vigorously in an instant: "Ziye, you must know, those two venerable seniors built such a good starting point and platform for our hospital, yet now I'm entrenched on this platform and have ended up like this."

"I've let them down! ~"

"But I have no choice either, I must make a choice."

Fang Ziye fell silent...

Leaving Tongji Hospital, although Fang Ziye hadn't finalized very specific details with the two of them, the general direction was finally settled.

After Duan Hong said hi, he felt he was just a victim, didn't even treat Fang Ziye to a meal, nor accept Fang Ziye's banquet invitation, and directly expelled Fang Ziye from the hospital.

Fang Ziye actually understood Professor Duan Hong.

Standing at the entrance of Tongji Hospital, Fang Ziye turned back to look, but couldn't find which brightly lit cement cage Duan Hong resided in, and at this moment his heart felt like it was being carved from his flesh.

"Thank you, Teacher Duan." After Fang Ziye bowed deeply from afar in a low voice from the bottom of his heart, he hailed a taxi and gave Luo Tingzhu's community address.

Sitting in the back seat, Fang Ziye opened his memo and began recording:

"1. Standard surgical core circle paving, common standard surgeries shifting up and down from Han City to prefecture-level city hospitals! ~"

Fang Ziye marked five stars of importance after this, because although this point wouldn't show many obvious benefits on the surface, if Fang Ziye did this kind of thing himself, it would definitely yield another wave of pretty good knowledge point gains.

But this involves a point, and that's teaching capability.

The general direction of sinking medical technology down is certainly good, but can prefecture-level city hospitals accept it, and how long until they can learn these standard surgeries.

Besides being related to personal aptitude, how you teach is also a problem.

Prefecture-level city hospitals can't always take fractures and complex fractures as their main tasks, right?

If we sink further vertically, that means letting county-level hospitals also master the standard treatment surgeries for complex fractures, achieving the true long-term goal of "basic diseases not leaving the county, complex cases not leaving the city."

"2. Simplify mangled extremity limb-salvage surgery, strive to let doctors in county hospitals also carry out mangled extremity limb-salvage surgery, at least learn how to handle mangled extremities, at least avoid amputation, to buy time for transfer to prefecture-level city hospitals or even provincial-level hospitals."

This point is also very important.

Currently, some hospitals in Han City can avoid amputation after receiving mangled extremity cases, but not all hospitals can avoid amputation.

Currently, there are definitely still many prefecture-level city hospitals and county hospitals performing amputation life-saving surgery on mangled extremity patients! ~

"3. Individualized prosthesis design and CC material..."

"4. Tumor basic experiments and animal experiment model implementation."

For 3 and 4, Fang Ziye didn't write out detailed plans, one reason being no concrete implementation measures, the other being they aren't near-term goals.

After editing this information, Fang Ziye looked up, watching the neon lights and traffic outside the car, and said in a low voice: "Professor Duan is indeed Professor Duan; with a different position, the level of vision is completely different."

"Consulting others is a shortcut, can save a lot of time gathering data, just have to consult the right people..."

"Knowledge points, the more the better." As Fang Ziye spoke, he looked at the skills on his panel—

【Medical Basic Cell Experiment Technique Level 7 0/0 (Cannot upgrade, unique trait, redefine)】.

Even this thing currently has no relatively good solution for "ALS"!

This proves that one's reserves in other aspects are definitely insufficient.

To be enough, one can only earn more knowledge points, raise various skills up, reach the starting point where ALS treatment can be researched, and activate the "ALS Treatment Surgery or Targeted Drug Research" entry.

Then start slowly pushing forward and leaping up from Level 1 0/0 or Level 2 0/0.

Previously, mangled extremity limb-salvage surgery also only appeared as a standard entry on the panel after Fang Ziye possessed multiple Level 5s and many Level 4 skills.

Sunday, afternoon.

Fang Ziye carried the wine he had prepared and went out.

Fang Ziye knew he would be drinking, so he didn't drive his car out, instead choosing to take a taxi to Deng Yong's community.

Originally Fang Ziye had set it to have the banquet at his own home, but Deng Yong considered that Fang Ziye's home didn't have a mistress, and didn't quite trust Fang Ziye's cooking skills, so still according to the original plan, changed the banquet location to his home.

Fang Ziye's "rank" wasn't enough, so he didn't have to receive guests; the wife was busy at home, and Deng Yong was responsible for inviting Gong Jiahe and Professor Li Guohua.

When Fang Ziye arrived at Deng Yong's home, Deng Yong hadn't even set out yet, and Fang Ziye very consciously joined the kitchen's odd-job crew.

"Wife, originally I said I'd go buy vegetables, but Master specifically instructed me in advance not to, so I took it seriously." Fang Ziye said this while putting on his apron and helping scrape the roasted pig trotters.

Deng Yong was still washing rice noodles and lotus root, muscles knotting on his upper arm as he scrubbed: "I said not to buy so don't buy, why stand on ceremony?"

"And that wine you brought, not necessarily better than my homemade infused wine."

The wife was cutting vegetables, and in the gaps of the tap-tap-tap knife sounds she said: "Ziye, next time you come don't bring anything, just come empty-handed."

"Okay, Wife." Fang Ziye agreed like this once again.

"You agreed but might not listen." The wife understood Fang Ziye.

The three people, like a family of three, began preparing dishes in the kitchen.

At 6 PM dinner started, at 6:20 the wife finished eating quickly, took her bowl to put it down in the kitchen, then went out for a walk, leaving the seats at home to Deng Yong and the others.

Seeing his wife leave, Deng Yong picked up his cup and toasted half a cup of wine to Gong Jiahe and Li Guohua respectively.

After a full cup of two liang of wine went completely down, everyone felt their bodies warm and cozy, and the atmosphere only then livened up.

Li Guohua sat firmly on the fishing terrace, turned his face and said: "Professor Gong, my student and disciple's disciple are both very mischievous, previously there was no Five Finger Mountain in the department to suppress them."

"In the future, please trouble yourself to keep them in line, lest they cause too much commotion."

Gong Jiahe heard this and hurriedly said, "Professor Li, you're too polite. Professor Deng and Professor Fang are both top-tier talents; it should be me learning from them."

"Especially Professor Deng, being able to bring out a talent like Professor Fang, that also took a lot of thought."

Li Guohua heard this and glanced at Deng Yong: "It was just scavenging, and he didn't even seize the first-mover advantage of who got there first."

"At the critical moment he dawdled; he probably couldn't even catch up to hot shit."

Li Guohua spoke to here, realized he had misspoken, and hurriedly said: "I'm just habitually crude; Professor Gong, don't mind."

"Don't know what direction Professor Gong was in before; for our Trauma Surgery's future development, do you have any good guidance?"

Li Guohua's expression was still very modest.

Although Gong Jiahe's current position was one Li Guohua had never reached before, he also didn't put on airs: "Guidance I dare not accept, Professor Li."

"Trauma Surgery, under your leadership and Professor Deng Yong's, has already developed to the forefront; speaking of it, the team I lead still can't sit at this level."

"Dare not speak recklessly."

"Newly arrived, also trembling with caution, afraid of disturbing Professor Deng Yong's planning, so always hoped to have a good chat with Professor Deng."

One mountain cannot contain two tigers.

A team, or a department, cannot have too contradictory development plans; there can only be one main development trunk line, the other branch lines are just embellishments.

Deng Yong then hurriedly said: "Professor Gong, if we keep being this polite back and forth, tonight we probably won't be able to enter the theme even when drunk."

"Actually it's like this, our hospital's Orthopedics Department, developed to now, has always been like walking a tightrope, trembling with caution."

"Now it's even more barely reached an unknowable place never reached before; Professor Gong's previous Zhengda Affiliated One, both in development and scale, are larger than our hospital's Orthopedics, should have some classic teachings to impart."

"For example, our Orthopedics currently is in a relatively unbalanced development stage. Among them, Trauma Surgery, Hand Surgery, Bone Disease Department's development, is even more so compared to the previous advantageous specialty Joint Surgery."

"Our hospital's Sports Medicine, has always been in a relatively backward stage; such an unbalanced stage, how to choose and plan?"

"Professor Gong coming is our own people, so please guide us." Deng Yong slightly bowed his head, making a respectful request posture.

Current Gong Jiahe, although came to Zhongnan Hospital, but Deng Yong and them still haven't equipped Gong Jiahe with treatment corresponding to him.

In this situation, Gong Jiahe can lose his temper.

Just, currently Gong Jiahe has no treatment, is his own unwillingness.

Deng Yong also didn't treat Gong Jiahe as an outsider, so invited Gong Jiahe to his home to consult.

"Sub-specialty development imbalance is the inevitable path of every specialty's development; only by first establishing one's own advantageous sub-specialty, can one possibly use this as foundation to support the entire specialty's development."

"Moreover Professor Deng, according to what I know after coming to Zhongnan Hospital!"

"Currently, our hospital's Sports Medicine's subsequent development first-mover advantage, has also already been set, right?"

"If the Microcirculation Instrument can really make meniscus regenerate, then later Sports Medicine's meniscus standard treatment plan will have to be rewritten."

"This is Sports Medicine's subsequent development core."

"Instead Professor Du Xinzhan's original Joint Surgery, previously was our hospital's core advantageous skeleton, currently hasn't found a suitable anchor point."

"But this also needn't be anxious; Joint Surgery still remains at the province-leading position."

"I dare guess, Professor Deng what you most want to ask, is about Bone Disease Department's Chief Physician surplus matter."

"Professor Deng want to ask, if the New Campus opens, is it better to prioritize establishing Bone Disease Department specialty, or prioritize establishing Trauma Surgery specialty?"

Branch Campus after all isn't Main Campus; in staffing beds limited, what can be allocated to Orthopedics is only one ward.

Deng Yong heard this and smiled embarrassedly.

From a selfish angle, Deng Yong as administrative Chief Director, of course must first consider Trauma Surgery's development.

From overall angle, Bone Disease Department specialty's Chief Physician accumulation originally exceeds other specialties; Bone Disease Department separating first is a matter of course.

After Bone Disease Department's clinical trials start, Bone Disease Department's development speed and height will far surpass other specialties; taking this as Orthopedics' most advantageous specialty is inevitable!

After all the biggest beneficiary winner is still Deng Yong's student Fang Ziye.

"Professor Deng, but we must consider is the Branch Campus ward's social function."

"It's first a hospital, then a hospital's specialty."

"If a Branch Campus, doesn't even have Orthopedics' most basic Trauma Surgery, is that acceptable?" Gong Jiahe said very directly.

Deng Yong understood Gong Jiahe's meaning: "But Professor Gong, if it's like this, Bone Disease Department's those professors, will definitely say more that I use power for private gain! ~"

Some things, aren't just the word 'should' can elaborate all.

"Of course! ~"

"Bone Disease Department's current predicament also needs solving."

"Branch Campus's main sociological function must also be considered, just depends on Professor Deng you willing or not."

"One handling way, is still let Bone Disease Department's professors go over, but establish accountability system, require Bone Disease Department's professors must handle well Branch Campus's Orthopedics all emergencies."

"But this has risk."

"After all Bone Disease Department for Orthopedics emergency trauma handling not as professional as our Trauma Surgery."

Gong Jiahe didn't keep suspense, continued: "Handling way two, is our Trauma Surgery, dispatch out a group of people, assist Bone Disease Department handle Orthopedics' trauma emergencies."

"Specialty's operating main body, still takes Bone Disease Department's treatment as main."

"But this arrangement, is self-sacrifice for others; that side's emergency tasks we bear, what benefits all not gained, is disguisedly working for Bone Disease Department."

"Among them pros and cons, can only be decided by Director Deng you yourself."

Gong Jiahe said this circle, very smoothly pulled himself out, said is equivalent to not said.

Deng Yong heard this, fiercely pinched his own nose.

"Professor Gong, previously Zhengda Affiliated One, when establishing Branch Campus, how was it operated?" Deng Yong directly consulted.

Gong Jiahe shook head: "This has no reference significance, Zhengda Affiliated One's previous other sub-specialties, fundamentally didn't have today Zhongnan Hospital Bone Disease Department this advantageous sub-specialty exist."

"All were Trauma Surgery first."

"Trauma Orthopedics is all Orthopedics sub-specialties' cornerstone."

Gong Jiahe seemed to see through Deng Yong's thoughts: "Director Deng even if wants to combine Bone Disease and Trauma two sub-specialties into one ward, also to no avail."

"After all, the main task of trauma still falls on the Trauma Surgery Department."

"Either we completely ignore it and let the Bone Disease Department develop on its own, sacrificing reputation."

"Or we take full control, preserve reputation, and make our own specialty suffer."

"There is no third way."

Deng Yong touched his chin and explained in a low voice: "Actually, our Trauma Surgery Department's development is currently quite stagnant!"

"Our specialty currently has many lead surgeons capable of performing surgeries; even if we split off a ward, we can still complete mangled extremity limb salvage surgeries and functional reconstruction surgeries with quality assured."

"Complex fractures as well as bone defect treatment and bone transport surgery, our Trauma Surgery Department is also very mature in these."

"The Bone Disease Department is currently in an expected development stage; combined chemotherapy is only in the clinical trial phase, and there is still a very long time for data collection." Deng Yong said.

Li Guohua has already withdrawn from the clinical core, so he doesn't meddle in these details of route selection, never expressing a stance, just acting as a little old man responsible for eating food! ~

Gong Jiahe spoke up to here, then said: "Actually there is another option, this is also what I asked, to see what Professor Deng you are unwilling to part with."

"Our Orthopedics Department currently has only one person who is both skilled in bone tumor combined chemotherapy diagnosis and treatment, and most skilled in our Trauma Surgery Department's emergency rescue..."

Deng Yong didn't even think before shaking his head like a rattle: "That's impossible! ~"

"Ziye would never go work for their Bone Disease Department."

Gong Jiahe paused speaking, waiting until Deng Yong got his emotions under control, his mouth pressed together for a while, completely returning to calm, then said:

"Professor Deng, you need to be clear on one point."

"Fang Ziye is already an Associate Professor and Deputy Chief Physician now."

"Associate Professor, Deputy Chief Physician, is not simply just meeting the standard to lead a group."

"Our hospital's regulation for the minimum requirement to become a Ward Director is Deputy Chief Physician rank."

"If Professor Deng you don't want to lose the active control rights over the Branch Campus's first ward, then sending Fang Ziye over is the most suitable."

"This is also a tempering ladder for Fang Ziye!"

Gong Jiahe looked at Deng Yong, smiling yet not smiling.

He understood Deng Yong; Deng Yong feels heartache and worry for Fang Ziye, is unwilling to let Fang Ziye 'go out alone'.

But in reality, Fang Ziye has already been leading a group independently in the sanatorium for a long time.

Fang Ziye simultaneously leads the Trauma Surgery and Hand Surgery groups!

Now, he goes to the New Campus, simultaneously serving as the 'Administrative Director' of both the Bone Disease Department and Trauma Surgery is also not impossible.

"Director Deng, you just say, besides Fang Ziye."

"Who would you send to serve as Administrative Director that Professor Du Yingshan of the Bone Disease Department and them would accept?" Gong Jiahe's counter-question rang out with force.

Deng Yong fell silent, Li Guohua paused his chopsticks, then continued picking up food and sending it into his mouth.

Gong Jiahe immediately followed with a forceful: "Professor Deng, Ziye has already grown up."

"He should grow, and has even already grown."

"Here with you, he is Fang Ziye; in other places, perhaps he is a proper Professor Fang, Director Fang?"

"It's just that you yourself haven't realized it yet?"

Deng Yong's two hands began to restlessly open and close, four fingers pinching his thumb's interphalangeal joint making cracking sounds——

His Adam's apple also slid up and down with the swallowing of saliva.

After this continued for a while, Deng Yong then narrowed his eyes and lightly sighed a breath: "Ai......"

Every father feels their own child is too small!

Every parent only feels their child grows up too fast, so fast they can't react in time, suddenly becoming adults, starting to have their own thoughts, starting to rebel, starting to disobey......

But ultimately, in the process of them slowly growing up, the people as parents are also slowly growing old.

"En." Deng Yong nodded, thus settling this matter.

"Ziye, what are your thoughts?"
