Protagonist:

Fang Ziye

Luo Tingzhu laughed: "There are many people, not only those Senior Brother you mentioned, but also the teachers and them?"

Those Luo Tingzhu listed were all people relatively close to her.

"Tingzhu, I feel that what you think others think and how others actually think are two different matters."

"Don't conflate them, but being slightly more easygoing is a good thing, at least it can let you make a few more friends." Fang Ziye interrupted Luo Tingzhu's self-narration.

Luo Tingzhu obediently said: "Alright, Senior Brother, then I will do my best to learn and change!"

"Since you brought it up, the aloofness that exists in me is no longer something that can be ignored."

Fang Ziye replied: "Tingzhu, being lofty has nothing to do with whether one speaks to people or not, but lies in the positioning from which one views people; we need not discuss this deeply."

"Because even if one is a bit lofty, it won't affect others……"

Luo Tingzhu was also unwilling to struggle over this topic, and instead asked: "Senior Brother, you've recently gone roughly nearly ten days without doing the surgeries you want to do, do you feel lonely?"

Others might not know why Fang Ziye chose to temporarily not accept patients recently, and even not go to the animal lab.

Luo Tingzhu knew.

This was the tactic Chen Guangbai and them used on Fang Ziye!

The matter not yet 'announced' on Zhongnan Hospital's side was that Fang Ziye might be transferred away from Zhongnan Hospital again, and all his previous research directions would be halted, switching to researching secret projects related to military instruments.

Anyway, Fang Ziye couldn't do things well in his current post.

Thus, Fang Ziye 'knew early' he couldn't complete the spinal cord injury project, so he simply could only no longer participate in animal experiments, no longer admit new clinical patients, just waiting for the transfer order to arrive.

Actually, anyone with a bit of perceptiveness knows this kind of thing is a bit funny.

But few people dare to gamble!

Fang Ziye's team is currently the only team with breakthrough progress in post-spinal cord injury research; if at this point Fang Ziye's transfer order really came down, Fang Ziye would truly only be able to leave the project group.

Fang Ziye is a staff member of the Hubei Province Province Military Region Yangyuan; if he must be transferred out of Hubei Province Province, then he would only be transferred out of Zhongnan Hospital, and would not leave the province!

This is the confidence the sanatorium where Chen Guangbai and Chen Song are gave Fang Ziye.

If Fang Ziye disagrees to leave, then no matter how Kyoto maneuvers, they ultimately cannot bypass Hubei Province Province's Han City Military Region.

"Would feel a bit funny! ~ Wouldn't feel very lonely."

Fang Ziye sighed: "Tingzhu, you say? During the New Year, I spent so much time snatched from family reunion time for progress, and it was just wasted away like this."

"Is the time of us ordinary people really this worthless?"

"So I won't feel bored, only very guilty; if I had known it would be like this, I should have properly accompanied my dad and mom."

Luo Tingzhu heard this and also nodded: "Right? If I had known the current time would be wasted like this, during the New Year, Senior Brother you should have properly played."

"Perhaps without that period of breakthrough, those big shots in Kyoto might not necessarily have set their sights on Senior Brother you."

Same lying flat, same giving up.

Fang Ziye's current "giving up" ultimately lacks a bit of practical significance, it's just purely giving up.

This is unfair to many people.

Fang Ziye added: "Actually it's understandable, people are all afraid of death."

"After everyone gets sick, they hope their disease type won't be too severe, and also hope their illness can be cured instantly with medicine."

"Even in untreatable situations, they hope for a miracle to appear."

"The higher one's position, the more resources they grasp, the more resources they'll spend doing similar things."

"In this process, they won't consider whether others are willing or not, like it or not."

"Just that I cannot forget my foundation for standing! ~"

Fang Ziye's tone was determined.

Luo Tingzhu nodded, asking in a low voice: "Senior Brother, tell me a real talk, if you really changed research direction, would you have the possibility to optimize liver, kidney and other organ transplant surgeries?"

This is a very private topic.

It's also Luo Tingzhu being very curious about Fang Ziye's foundation reserves.

A person lightly changing their own research direction and professional direction is a very risky matter.

"Real talk, I haven't considered this problem."

"If truly speaking honestly, there's definitely a chance, nothing more than spending a longer time, wasting some more useless effort."

"Just I myself feel there's no need to change research direction."

"What I myself am more skilled at, I myself know clearly; I have a series of things I can do."

Fang Ziye spoke here, very seriously saying: "Tingzhu, you also need not probe my stance."

"Uncle Luo Pan's illness, I've always kept in mind, and it's also something I'm willing to go explore a path for."

"This disease is also one I like on my research line, and he's still your father; these reasons are enough for me to make a choice."

"Although not excluding that others might also need me!"

"But making a choice originally needs a sufficient reason; choosing for the people around oneself is also everyone's instinctive thought!"

"I'm originally an orthopedic doctor, a trauma doctor; I have my own path, why would I casually change it?"

"And I have confidence that I can also develop very well on this path."

Regarding limb salvage surgery and reconstructive surgery this area, Fang Ziye long ago had his own planning; along this way, Fang Ziye has been advancing in this direction, basically never deviating from the core route.

Matters have reached halfway, Fang Ziye certainly cannot give up halfway!

Luo Tingzhu then didn't ask further about Fang Ziye's other matters, only telling Fang Ziye she had already packed her luggage, and on the twenty-eighth, she would return from Enshi to Han City……

……

February 28, Friday, the last day of February, and also the last workday of February.

At the doorway of the Trauma Surgery Ward, after Fang Ziye got off the elevator, he saw a young woman leaning against the wall.

She was not very old; being the same age as Fang Ziye, she looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six. Wearing light makeup, she was dressed in a loose woolen coat.

Seeing Fang Ziye exit the elevator, she walked over from her position leaning against the wall, took a deep breath, and forced a strained smile: "Professor Fang, I'm sorry, I've come to disturb you again."

She was Yu Youyin's older sister, Yu Yousheng, only one minute older than her younger sister.

This was not the first time Yu Yousheng had appeared at the ward doorway, nor was it the first time she had come to pursue Fang Ziye with questions.

Walking into the ward alongside Fang Ziye without blocking him, she said: "Professor Fang, I still want to ask—when can my sister come back to be hospitalized?"

"Professor Fang, do you have some concerns?"

"Are you afraid of something?"

"Has our family put pressure on you in other ways? If so, just say it directly, okay?"

"Are you afraid that the treatment results won't be good during the process, and then we'll come cause you trouble?"

"We can go to a notary, we can even have the police come over to talk and serve as witnesses! ~"

"My sister truly hopes to receive treatment; she's willing to take a gamble, even if the current treatment isn't very mature, even if there will be many aftereffects, even if……"

Fang Ziye tilted his head slightly and interrupted: "Little Yu, none of the reasons you've stated are correct!"

"I already explained this to you clearly before: our team's treatment for spinal cord injury is still in the research and development stage."

"Although we did some clinical trials in the early stage with decent results, it's not yet systematic."

"The treatment process and results can still be optimized, but that takes time."

"I am not advising your sister to be discharged just to deliberately avoid admitting her; we haven't admitted other patients after your discharge either."

"You need to give us enough time, right?"

Hearing this, Yu Yousheng asked somewhat hesitantly: "But Professor Fang, we all feel that my sister and I, including my parents, all feel that as long as you can let my sister recover to the level of those Big Brothers and Uncles from before, we would be very satisfied."

"You…"

Fang Ziye interrupted again, waving his hand: "No no no, Yu Yousheng, I admit your thoughts are definitely genuine; this is also your inner voice."

"But I am the Attending Physician; I cannot complete the treatment of your case just to complete it. I must, within my capabilities, let my patients receive better treatment."

"For this, even if it makes you wait a little longer, or wait even longer, it is worth it."

"Why are you all in such a hurry?"

"Is it just because of that reason you told me before?"

"The reason of going to meet an online friend from an online relationship is not enough to support me treating her in advance."

"I feel the treatment plan is not mature enough, and there will be more mature progress in the short term, so I must wait!"

Yu Youyin and Yu Yousheng are twins, and they are no longer young.

Yu Yousheng is already engaged, though they haven't held the wedding yet.

As for her younger sister Yu Youyin, although she hasn't found a partner in reality, the internet is quite developed now; according to her family, she is in an online relationship, and the person she is dating online hopes to meet offline…

Yu Youyin very much hopes to receive treatment as soon as possible.

"Professor Fang, this is a major event in my sister's lifetime; isn't it worth you making an exception?"

"Perhaps the better you pursue is not what the patient needs?" Yu Yousheng's voice trembled slightly.

She felt Fang Ziye was very stubborn, stubborn to the point of deformity.

Yet for such stubbornness, she dared not say a single word against it.

What could be known was that Fang Ziye was very responsible; for the efficacy of his own patients, he hoped to do every step to the extreme.

But time doesn't wait; in her view, her sister had finally fallen in love, so this time point was the most suitable point for her treatment; even if the efficacy wasn't that good, it was worth trying!

"Then she just doesn't need to get better!?" Fang Ziye said very frankly.

"Yu Yousheng, medicine is not a game, nor is it like eating a bad meal that you can just make do with."

"If you all feel that better efficacy is not what you need, but receiving treatment in time right now is your necessity."

"As the attending physician, I cannot agree to such a treatment philosophy!" Fang Ziye said.

"Professor Fang, we're begging you, okay?"

"You also know my sister's current condition; if her online lover finds out about her current situation, it will definitely fall through."

"And this could cause irreversible psychological damage to my sister!"

Yu Yousheng said: "I know Professor Fang, you want to pursue high standards and high quality."

"Can't you accommodate a little? Give her a hope?"

Fang Ziye paused, took a deep breath, put his hands on his hips, and asked back: "Yu Yousheng, your sister isn't here, is she?"

Yu Yousheng nodded: "Professor Fang, if you have something to say, just say it directly."

Fang Ziye said: "After accommodating her for treatment, is the state reached truly hope?"

"If the other person is a normal person, even if your sister receives treatment, they may not necessarily agree."

"After all the effort, still being disliked—the damage caused at that time, wouldn't it be even greater?"

"Psychological issues are very troublesome and tricky to discuss."

"My point is still, if the other person is trustworthy, they will definitely wait and won't urge a meeting just to meet."

"If the other person keeps urging to meet regardless of everything, then perhaps this feeling is not 'love'! But something else."

"You must not confuse treatment and redemption."

"Treatment cannot be completed in a day or two; functional rehabilitation cannot be thorough in one or two months either."

"This is not a transaction; you give money, I give goods, and the deal is done!"

Yu Yousheng said: "But, Professor Fang, didn't you also treat other people before?"

"That's because I had no choice. I had to start first, had to have a few patients become my test subjects, let me first set foot in this field, only then would I have the chance to do better."

"If there's no beginning to treatment, what progress is there to speak of?"

"They have to pay the price, have to face all kinds of unknowns. But the time now isn't like before!"

"I should have told you, I've faced a situation of insufficient preparation once before, so I don't want something like that to happen again."

"This is my own personal, real experience, so I won't retreat just to make do, won't compromise!"

"Even if because of this you come to hate me, I don't care!"

"Your younger sister, and the other patients, deserve better treatment outcomes. Waiting is currently the more worthwhile investment." Fang Ziye said.

Fang Ziye spoke earnestly, and after finishing he checked the time again: "It's not early anymore, we need to hand over."

"You go back first. If there's good news, we'll definitely notify you at the first time."

As Fang Ziye was speaking, at the nurse station, Nurse Shen Xinyao also happened to hang up the phone: "Director Fang, that was Dean Wang's wife calling just now!"

"We still won't admit spinal cord injury patients for the time being, right?"

Fang Ziye waved his hand: "Not admitting, not admitting. When we'll start admitting, I'll announce it in the outpatient clinic, and for patients already scheduled for hospitalization, we'll also notify them in advance."

"Wait a while longer."

Shen Xinyao made a remote OK gesture. Fang Ziye walked toward the inpatient general office, turning back to say: "Yu Yousheng, we'll contact each other later, I'm going to eat breakfast first."

"No matter what, still thank you for your trust in me, hope you can give me more chances for hands-on practice..."

Yu Yousheng continued chasing forward a few steps, asking: "Professor Fang, is it true what they say in private?"

"Unless they're people with no way out, you won't choose to accept them?"

"My younger sister's current situation, in Professor Fang's view, still has a chance to turn around?"

Fang Ziye listened, continued waving his hand: "Don't ask anymore. Even if you knew the answer it wouldn't mean anything."

"I'm a doctor, all my knowledge comes from statistics, so I only believe in statistical probability."

"Medical disputes during new treatment processes, we'll spare no effort to minimize them to the lowest level, and won't waver from our bottom line due to any subjective factors!"

"Your guarantee is useless, even if you get a third party to guarantee it, it's still useless!"

Yu Yousheng was left speechless, and Fang Ziye walked away directly.

After entering the inpatient general office, Fang Ziye's emotions weren't affected by Yu Yousheng.

Picked up the hot dry noodles and started eating.

Only after eating two mouthfuls did Fang Ziye suggest: "Hey, Tianluo, have you ever considered changing your breakfast? Eating hot dry noodles every single day, isn't that a bit too monotonous?"

"Next time buy some steamed buns or something?"

Fang Ziye's words had just finished when Hu Qingyuan chimed in: "Master, there's a bun shop on my way here, I'll bring you some next time."

"Good!" Fang Ziye nodded.

"Only two surgeries scheduled today, right? I have something in the afternoon."

Lan: "Senior Brother, today only two are scheduled, and for both of them you don't need to be lead surgeon."

"If there's no accident, me and Teacher Li Nuo can handle them."

Fang Ziye nodded: "That's great then."

"Tonight I'll go pick up my wife first, after eating dinner I'll go to the animal lab."

"Qingyuan, after you finish surgery head straight over, tell Liao Jia and them we're starting another fierce battle."

"Things have been quiet for a while, I've got some pretty good new ideas, we'll discuss at the meeting later."

Lan Tianluo listened, the hot dry noodles hanging from his mouth were chewed until they dropped vertically: "Senior Brother, convenient to reveal a bit in advance?"

"Actually I feel Du Kuo and Song Heping's treatment results are pretty good already?"

Fang Ziye said: "If I reveal in advance and you can't figure it out you'll feel even worse, better not to say!"

"Let's leave it at that for now."

"The current situation has changed again, in March I can not ask for leave again."

After Fang Ziye finished speaking, he even discovered he was a pervert, within a week his words kept changing back and forth, like a stinky flea.

"..."

The two surgeries arranged today were respectively diabetic foot limb salvage surgery and severe lower limb infection.

These two surgical techniques have been carried out in the department for quite a while. As Lan said, with his and Li Nuo's skills, they can already handle them routinely.

The operational difficulty coefficient isn't large, so Fang Ziye could sit steadily at the surgical timer panel, no need to expend too much mental effort, only needing to occasionally stand up and check the surgery progress.

This is the process of foundation gradually settling!

Surgery progressed smoothly, Fang Ziye's time leaving the operating room was actually earlier.

Luo Tingzhu arrived in Han City at 4:30 PM, Fang Ziye left the operating room at 3:10 PM.

After actively driving Hu Qingyuan to the animal lab, Fang Ziye then drove to the high-speed rail station.

After picking up Luo Tingzhu and returning together to the house she bought, Fang Ziye helped her actively pack up the luggage!

"Packing it like this is fine. The housekeeping we booked will arrive soon, after she arrives we'll go out to eat." Fang Ziye took a deep breath, stood up.

"Senior Brother, I might still have to live in the sanatorium dormitory in the future, this place is still too far from the sanatorium."

Luo Tingzhu finished speaking, looked at her own house with hands behind her back: "Although the villas in the sanatorium are larger, I still feel my own little nest is more cozy."

"Of course, the ancients said it well, golden nest silver nest can't compare to one's own little dog kennel."

"This is our own house, staying inside feels more at ease."

"I also had a look, I plan to buy a set near the new campus, in the future I'll most likely be running between three places."

"One is the main campus, one is the new campus, and there's the sanatorium in Donghu."

"Having a house near each place would be more convenient."

Luo Tingzhu said, "Senior Brother, didn't Doctor Chen say he wanted to gift you a villa? Did you take it?"

"Even if it's half-sold, half-gifted, I can't take it. I'm afraid things would change after I accepted it."

"If we really want to buy, we'll go buy it ourselves." Fang Ziye shook his head, then said, "Starting in April, let's go look at houses. We'll look at two, and if they're good, we'll take them directly."

"If it's next month, we'll book a hotel first, make invitation cards, and so on..."

At 5:20, Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu went down to the underground parking lot again.

However, the two had just exited the B1 elevator when two middle-aged people came toward them. They originally passed by Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu.

After the two entered the elevator lobby, they turned back and chased out again: "Professor Fang, Professor Fang, please wait a moment."

Fang Ziye turned at the words. He was certain he didn't know the other party, but the middle-aged man's voice timbre was exceptionally familiar to Fang Ziye.

It was precisely the middle-aged man's voice timbre from the phone call Fang Ziye had received earlier.

He actually found the community where Luo Tingzhu lives, so he can actually track Fang Ziye's whereabouts very precisely.

Fang Ziye turned to look at him, didn't speak, naturally didn't give a good expression either, but didn't put on a cold face: "Teacher? Was it you who called me?"

"Yes, Professor Fang. My name is Xu Liang'an. I work in Jingdu, currently temporarily stationed in Han City for a while. Later there may be a lot of work needing to coordinate with you, Professor Fang."

"Wondering if it's convenient for Professor Fang, let's go eat a simple meal together?" The middle-aged man was tall and thin, wore an administrative jacket, had a low-key hairstyle, was easygoing in manner, his face not quite matching his previous speaking tone.

Fang Ziye glanced at Luo Tingzhu, replied: "Teacher Xu, actually it's not very convenient. My wife just came to Han City, the two of us planned to go eat privately."

Xu Liang'an said: "Professor Fang, you should definitely know my work unit. This time I've come, there really is some relatively important work needing to communicate with you, Professor Fang."

"And we must do the communication work in advance. Even if it's inconvenient for you, Professor Fang, I still need to add you as a friend first, then at a more suitable time for you, confirm the precise time and such."

Xu Liang'an took out his mobile phone, asked: "Is it convenient for Professor Fang to let me scan?"

Xu Liang'an spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, even leaving no room for Fang Ziye to refuse.

This is Xu Liang'an's work nature. Since the other party works in the Health Care Group, he must do this job well.

Among them, precisely searching for and matching doctors of ultra-high technical level, and having them serve corresponding leaders, is his proper duty.

Fang Ziye took out his own mobile phone, opened the QR code: "Teacher Xu, please go ahead."

After Xu Liang'an scanned Fang Ziye's WeChat, he then said: "Professor Fang, this WeChat is for our private contact."

"It will only unilaterally schedule your time, Professor Fang. Beyond time, no other information will appear."

"If Professor Fang needs to view patient case information, you'll still need to go to the sanatorium."

"Currently, our group is responsible for the medical security work of military region and Central Military Commission leaders, high-level foreign guests, and high-level intellectuals."

Hearing this, Luo Tingzhu immediately nervously grabbed Fang Ziye's right hand.

Fang Ziye pressed down on the back of Luo Tingzhu's hand, replied: "Since it's inconvenient to speak of, I hope Teacher Xu won't reveal it casually. We'll just discuss the case."

Xu Liang'an nodded, smiling: "Professor Fang, you needn't be especially nervous. Our group doesn't handle emergencies, only chronic diseases."

"So it's a two-way choice."

"I also only came to the Hanzhou Side after a job transfer, no longer responsible for the previous research group's R&D work, so Professor Fang can rest completely assured."

"My work focus from now on will be to ensure Professor Fang becomes our group's permanent expert! ~"

Xu Liang'an spoke very subtly.

But Fang Ziye, who understands Health Group work, knows the Health Group is also divided into many offices, different offices have different work focuses.

And the Health Group's main work nature is a coordination agency.

After Xu Liang'an finished speaking, he added: "If Professor Fang is very busy, you can go on your way. We'll definitely have a chance to gather next time! ~"

Fang Ziye took Luo Tingzhu and left directly, no longer struggling over anything.

After getting in the car, Luo Tingzhu then asked somewhat strangely: "Senior Brother, didn't you say this person called Xu Liang'an has been threatening you to join some research group?"

"How come now? He ran to Han City too?"

Fang Ziye shook his head: "I don't know either. We're not clear how their work nature and content are defined."

"But according to Old Doctor Chen Song, the Health Group's work is all quite mysterious. Whether it's Internal Medicine, Surgery, or the Traditional Chinese Medicine Group, during the diagnosis and treatment process, they're all in a secret place."

"The Health Group's various offices will arrange appointment times, location coordination, and other overall management work in advance."

"If it's an emergency, they directly contact the hospital, then through the consultation format, pull people from the local area."

"Maybe this Teacher Xu Liang'an recently had a job transfer! ~"

Eastern Han is vast, and Eastern Han people are many.

Long ago, Fang Ziye once heard Liu Huanglong mention that all famous doctors on the market have actually been screened, facing the ordinary masses.

Truly reaching a certain level and rank, if they don't rush up to become Academicians or Top National Physicians, most people are privately "recruited."

It's just this topic is very sensitive. Not many people know this "recruitment" exists, and it's even more impossible to publicize it.

Even Liu Huanglong is deeply taboo about this.

The nature of the Military Region Yangyuan is somewhat similar to this "recruitment," but the two's service nature is completely different.

Inside the Military Region Yangyuan, in principle it faces all army and special work department personnel, carrying out sanatorium work.

And the recruited expert team members only work for an extremely small number of people.

Even more mysterious, and the entry standards are even higher.

"In Eastern Han, from ancient times to now, power has always been a good thing." Fang Ziye only said this when driving the car out of the underground garage.

Luo Tingzhu didn't reply immediately.

After closing her eyes for roughly several minutes, she then said softly: "Senior Brother, actually from my current angle, I feel this kind of existence is pretty good."

"At least my dad and them, during their previous work process, when physical ailments appeared, could accept the best medical services locally and at the time at the first moment."

The two fell silent.

Until they reached the hot pot restaurant, the two people seemed to have "come alive" again.

Actually, there's no worry a hot pot meal can't solve. If there is, two meals will do.

For people who like eating spicy, besides being unhealthy, hot pot has no other real faults.

……

After finishing the hot pot, Fang Ziye did not send Luo Tingzhu home, but instead brought Luo Tingzhu together to the animal laboratory.

After Fang Ziye walked into the conference room carrying the hot pot smell all over him, many people smelled the scent on him.

Nie Mingxian called out: "Boss Fang, you've finished eating, so are you going to start filling the pits you dug?"

"We've been expecting this for a long time; regarding the current research project, do you have any other ideas?"

Fang Ziye hearing this, sat in the very front, opened his computer while also watching Luo Tingzhu open her laptop, spread out her notebook intending to take notes.

First a knowing smile, then he patted the microphone: "Based on our preoperative research, we can already draw this conclusion."

"After spinal cord injury, some circuit channels still remain in a 'closed' state; the microcurrent stimulation we did before was to reactivate these closed channels!"

"In our medical field, there are other precedents; for example, the onset mechanism of diabetes is actually insufficient insulin secretion ability."

"For the treatment of diabetes, there are also several relatively typical approaches."

"One is supplementing insulin, one is lowering blood sugar, and another is stimulating insulin secretion so that self-produced insulin concentration increases!"

"Referencing such a treatment approach, we can also think of ways to make the relatively limited circuit channels exert greater function!"

"Currently, we have two directions to choose from; the first is to deal with the completely closed channels, so that all channels are reactivated."

"This is only an ideal state; based on current basic research, it definitely cannot be done."

"Then, our short-term goal is to re-quantify the existing 'channels', so that these channels can carry as much function conduction as possible."

"Similar to a power strip, if we can invent a tool similar to an electrical socket, and connect nerves through transposition surgery in parallel connection with this electrical socket?"

"Is there a possibility that this would let our cerebral cortex command signals continue transmission downward?"

"I think it is..."

Fang Ziye looking at Liao Jia and the others involuntarily stood up again, smiling as he scolded: "All sit down!" (Chapter End)
