Chapter 814

"Teacher Fang, can you give me a chance? I'll study very diligently and hard under you!"

At the doorway of the Orthopedics Ward doctor's office at Zhongnan Hospital New Campus, at 7:40 in the morning, a young man wearing a white coat and a Zhongnan Hospital intern badge spoke with sincere tone and pure gaze.

Fang Ziye nodded lightly, voice calm: "I don't doubt the truth that you would work very hard, but you are the fifth one from your Eight-Year Program to come find me."

"In your class, four of your classmates ahead of you said the exact same thing."

"Even though your Eight-Year Program doesn't occupy fixed quotas when choosing doctoral supervisors, I can still only pick one out of five."

"I'm not familiar with any of you, so how should I choose? Just pick you, Liu Yangping, and not your classmate Yang Zhao?"

"You have to give me a more sufficient reason?"

The young man was named Liu Yangping, currently an intern, but he was an Eight-Year Program student at Han City University Medical College and could directly choose a doctoral supervisor.

Just like when he went to Trauma Surgery to find Teacher Deng back then, Liu Yangping had also come to find Fang Ziye.

Hearing Fang Ziye mention Yang Zhao, Liu Yangping's complexion changed slightly, he took a deep half-breath, and replied: "Teacher Fang, my current GPA and professional ability indeed aren't as good as Yang Zhao's, but he attended a training class."

"Someone specially taught him, so his professional operation would definitely be a bit stronger than us classmates whose family backgrounds aren't that good."

Hearing this, a trace of displeasure flashed across Fang Ziye's eyes: "Then what about Tan Song?"

"What about Luo Pianxian?"

After Fang Ziye finished speaking, he lightly patted Liu Yangping's shoulder: "If I were you, I wouldn't waste more time on this kind of verbal cleverness, but would go think of ways to honestly improve myself."

Eight-Year Program students are different from Five-Year Program clinical medical students; they graduate with a doctorate and doctoral graduate education, so in the early stage, what they need to do well is improve their own theoretical level and operation ability.

Research accumulation can wait until after choosing a doctoral supervisor to accumulate.

This "New Star PhD Supervisor" of surgery was naturally an object of pursuit for many, and Liu Yangping was not the first person to find Fang Ziye.

"Teacher Fang, I work hard reading books, studying, and practicing operations every day, and I also love surgery very much. During my shadowing internship, I was also very serious and hardworking."

"Senior Brother Hu Qingyuan must have mentioned me to you."

"But you also know, the teaching content in private tutoring classes is, after all, better than the courses we ordinary people get exposed to." Liu Yangping replied.

"So what? You just feel it's unfair?"

"Then if during your PhD, I don't give you papers, but other supervisors give other students papers, you'd also feel I'm unfair to you?"

"When you job hunt, other supervisors give students recommendation letters, I don't give you one, you'd also feel unfair?"

"Liu Yangping, you'd better not come find me anymore." Fang Ziye answered with a determined tone.

Liu Yangping can be very proactive in thinking of ways, but he cannot think of ways like this.

A person's family background, connections and other social accumulations certainly create relative unfairness, but they are also manifestations of others' resource accumulation.

This kind of resource accumulation isn't just this one time; in the future they can also get resource 'tilts' themselves, which will save teachers a lot of 'teaching time'!

Why do teachers love the talented? Isn't it because they're worry-free and excellent?

"Teacher Fang, just give me a chance, okay?" Liu Yangping still didn't give up.

"You're Eight-Year Program, even if you don't do your PhD with me there are plenty of other doctoral supervisors to choose from, don't waste time here on me."

"Either go compete fairly, the deadline I set for you is mid-September this year, or go ask other doctoral supervisors."

"Don't think acting pitiful and such can get you pity."

"You'll be a clinical doctor in the future, kowtowing to a patient's disease is useless. Acting pitiful is even more useless."

"I've told you, if I were you, I'd go think of ways to improve myself, and as for how to think of ways, that's not the current my obligation to guide you on."

"There are many paths you can choose!" Fang Ziye said.

Relying on a 985 university like Han City University, there are too many paths to improve yourself.

There are many teachers, senior brothers, etc. to seek learning from, and training rooms and other places to practice basic skills.

Back then Fang Ziye also didn't beg anyone to give him a doctoral quota, because he definitely couldn't get one by begging!

Fang Ziye flipped open his wristwatch: "Alright, I need to go do handover."

"Teacher Fang, is it because I didn't give you a gift that you've been refusing to agree?" Liu Yangping bit the bullet and said this sentence.

"Get out! Don't make the scene too ugly." Fang Ziye pointed toward the department door direction, expression turning stern.

Eight-Year Program is good, comes with a doctorate, many supervisors like to recruit one more Eight-Year Program student.

But when Eight-Year Program students choose doctoral supervisors, it's a two-way selection; you can choose a supervisor, but the premise is the supervisor wants you.

Each supervisor can take at most one Eight-Year Program student per year.

After Liu Yangping turned and left, Fang Ziye then entered the office.

Today is May 25th, Monday, besides Professor Ceng Duoqin, everyone else in the office was at full attendance.

After Fang Ziye entered, Hu Qingyuan leaned over first thing: "Master, that Liu Yangping, did he make you angry?"

Fang Ziye shook his head: "Didn't really make me angry, just his thoughts are a bit heavy..."

"Professor Fang, I've come to deliver a silk banner to you again."

As Fang Ziye spoke, a voice came from the office doorway again. Holding a silk banner in hand, with a smile on his face.

Only this smile was hard to distinguish whether it was a sincere smile or a bitter smile.

Seeing Wu Yilin from Medical Affairs Department, Fang Ziye hurriedly went up to meet him: "Teacher Wu, how come another patient sent a silk banner to your side?"

"I've already told you many times!"

"How about this, next time if there's this situation again, you just put the silk banner in your Medical Affairs Department."

Sending silk banners to Medical Affairs Department, once or twice is certainly good, would make Medical Affairs Department colleagues feel novelty.

If the recipient of the silk banner isn't Fang Ziye every time, then Medical Affairs Department's Wu Yilin would also feel very happy, our hospital's clinical work is currently developing very well.

But eight out of ten times it's Fang Ziye, and all happened in the recent half year, this kind of thing makes people feel "annoying", and even suspect whether Fang Ziye is deliberately 'showing off'!

Wu Yilin sighed lightly: "Patient family members making silk banners is also good intention, since they want to give it to you clinical doctors, it must be to slightly express sincerity."

"All sent to our Medical Affairs Department, can't just leave the silk banners shelved there!"

"Director Fang, this time I'll just simply return the silk banner to its rightful owner, not much nonsense? I still have some things on my side, the Emergency Department had a complaint this morning that hasn't been fully handled yet."

Fang Ziye said hurriedly upon hearing this: "Thank you for your hard work, Director Wu."

Wu Yilin is the Deputy Director of the Medical Affairs Department at the New Campus, managing complaints and related matters for all specialties in the entire hospital; his workload is not small either.

After taking the silk banner, Fang Ziye opened it, and after seeing the family member's name clearly, he handed it to Hu Qingyuan: "Qingyuan, during the ward round later, take the silk banner with you and return it directly to the patient."

"Originally, patients giving silk banners is to express gratitude, but if it's always done like this, it will definitely annoy the Medical Affairs Department; once or twice is fine."

"From now on, we simply won't accept silk banners!"

Because of short video popular science, there are too many smart people.

But Fang Ziye also didn't want to add too much burden to his colleagues because of his own matters.

"Master, would this be inappropriate?" Hu Qingyuan was somewhat struggling.

"It's definitely inappropriate, but I couldn't think of a better way, so I can only handle it relatively violently, to reduce unnecessary trouble." Fang Ziye said.

When Fang Ziye entered the office again, Wang Zongkai said helplessly: "Ziye, there are still people sending silk banners to the Medical Affairs Department? Isn't this causing trouble for you?"

"Yeah! So this time I'll just return it directly." Fang Ziye sighed lightly.

"Oh, right, Teacher Wang, after the ward round later, let's talk about some things together." Fang Ziye said.

"Okay!" Wang Zongkai nodded, sitting in his original seat.

……

After the on-duty nurse and duty doctor finished the simple handover, the Head Nurse planned to convey the content of last week's weekly meeting; Fang Ziye raised his hand to interrupt: "Head Nurse, is last week's meeting content related to our department?"

"If it's not particularly related, then don't convey it for now."

"I'll say a few things."

Huang Xiaowei quietly put away her notebook, smiling: "Director Fang, it's still some set phrases affirming our Orthopedics Department's work, but this time there are some detailed data."

"Then don't say it out!" After Fang Ziye finished speaking, he pressed his hand down: "After nearly half a year of development at the New Campus, currently the disease types of our three groups have already approached stability."

"Our group currently focuses mainly on diabetic foot and spinal cord injury; Director Wang's group is gradually shifting from flap transplantation surgery toward functional reconstruction surgery, tendon transfer surgery, and other highly specialized procedures."

"Professor Zeng's group's bone tumor routine diagnosis and treatment work is progressing more and more smoothly; last week there were even colleagues from the Peking Union Medical College Hospital Tumor Center coming to our department for observation and exchange."

"This represents that our department's development is very good."

"But currently, there are still quite a few problems; here, I want to point them out emphatically."

"First, our department's specialty development is very good, but the succession is weak, and a relatively strict ladder-like structure has not been formed; in most situations, it relies on senior physicians to hold things up."

"Our department's Master's students and Doctors still need to accumulate basic skills."

"Of course, the main reason is still that there are too few people, and they haven't formed a sequential connection."

"For a department to form a very benign development, it must form a benign cycle from Team Leader, Deputy Chief Physician, Attending Physician, Doctor, Master's student, Intern."

"Our department's development plan for the second half of the year, besides continuing to carry out clinical disease treatment more deeply, must also lean toward tiered teaching."

"Strive to establish this cycle first."

"Professor Zeng, Professor Tang, what do you think?" Fang Ziye consulted Ceng Duoqin and Tang Sai's opinions.

Tang Sai didn't dare express a stance; he is currently in a follower state; it was Ceng Duoqin who was deeply touched: "Director Fang, I also feel we must strengthen teaching!"

"This can form a more benign learning ecology."

Deputy Chief Physician Wang Zongkai is not yet a Doctoral Supervisor, so at this moment he didn't dare speak.

Fang Ziye continued: "The second matter is that besides teaching our hospital's students, we should also value visiting doctors' teaching."

"It's best to grasp the visiting doctors' main purpose for coming to learn in advance; if it matches our department, then agree to them coming."

"If we learn in advance that the other party's learning purpose doesn't match our department, it's still best to explain in advance, so as not to delay their learning opportunity."

"After all, the procedures our department currently carries out, general prefecture-level city hospitals probably won't routinely carry out in the next ten years."

"The big brothers coming to our department for further study, if they want to leave, I have no objections here." Fang Ziye looked at the two visiting doctors in the ward.

One of them, hearing this, hurriedly smiled back: "Director Fang, embarrassed, it's not that your teaching isn't good enough, but that our level is too low, we can't understand..."

What do visiting doctors learn?

Learn routine treatment of spinal cord injury, crazy?

Even tendon transfer surgery isn't something a prefecture-level city hospital can easily carry out.

"No no, it's that we didn't investigate properly in advance, and agreed to your request to come to the department for further study."

"It's still our work not done properly!" Fang Ziye explained a sentence, then said.

"After half a year of stable development, I feel that the Resident Physicians and bed-management doctors in our department are still very good."

"So, I agreed to Chief Resident Lan Tianluo's suggestion: from now on, all Doctors in our department, as long as a superior approves and authorizes, can go out for consultation alone; the approving and authorizing superior bears sole responsibility."

"All Resident Physicians in our department, whether Professional Master's or ordinary Standardized Training Students, as long as the Chief Resident authorizes, can fully operate Level 2 Surgeries."

"But there is one condition: without a senior physician present, whoever dares to perform cross-level surgery, even if they are my student, will directly go out this door."

"To operate Level 2 Surgery, you must have this capability; I've set up a Training Room for you, if you want to learn, want to make first contact, I've also found you an animal lab; you pass through there first, okay?"

"I will also hold teaching sessions for you irregularly."

"Still that sentence: whether our teaching teachers or students, guts must be big, but hearts must be more meticulous."

"Absolutely cannot be careless, committing some low-level errors that fundamentally shouldn't be committed."

"That's about it for today; nothing else special; after each finishes the ward round, go busy with your own things."

……

Fang Ziye led the team and finished the ward round first thing, but after the ward round, Fang Ziye didn't go to the operating room first thing; instead, in his own office, he waited a while for Wang Zongkai.

8:55 AM.

Wang Zongkai pushed the door in: "Sorry, Ziye, the ward round delayed a bit."

"You looking for me means good news, right?"

Fang Ziye heard this, smiled and nodded: "Teacher Wang, of course it's good news. If it weren't good news, would I specially look for you alone?"

"It's like this, our animal lab needs two assistants, they need some Hand Surgery basic skills, and the level can't be too low."

"You don't need someone too excellent either; do you have anyone you can recommend?"

In the animal laboratory, there was too much work to be done.

Although Fang Ziye led the team alone, there were still some remaining meticulous tasks that needed someone to complete.

Previously, these were handled by the laboratory staff, but they were all too incompetent, so Fang Ziye simply transferred people himself.

This way, it was actually a form of cultivation for this hospital's Master's students.

"This is truly a good thing, but I just don't know if my few students can catch Director Fang's eye." Wang Zongkai spoke frankly.

Wang Zongkai was not a Doctoral Supervisor, but he was a Master's Supervisor, and had his own students.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye blinked his eyes: "Teacher Wang, your students probably won't do; I need someone who can independently complete tendon repair."

"Generally speaking, only some of the doctors from your Hand Surgery department have this level of skill, so you recommend a few people to me, and I'll contact them myself."

"Of course, I've already taken a fancy to your student Tao Hebin." Fang Ziye named him directly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zongkai's expression changed slightly: "Ziye, how about you don't pick my student, look at me instead, I'm also very capable of assisting."

Wang Zongkai had a strong desire for upward management; he also really wanted to advance.

"Brother Wang, you can't focus on two things at once. Actually, if it weren't for the fact that you're currently learning both Functional Reconstruction Surgery and Functional Recovery Surgery, two clinical techniques, I would definitely have assigned part of the research projects to you."

"But?" Fang Ziye spoke very subtly.

If Wang Zongkai had the capability for both clinical work and research, wouldn't he have become a professor and Doctoral Supervisor long ago?

I can't improve your qualifications, giving you more tasks would only harm you.

Wang Zongkai could only focus on one thing at a time.

"Alright, Ziye, then I'll take full responsibility for this matter; I'll definitely pick two who are satisfactory and sensible for you." Wang Zongkai undertook it.

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Wang!" Fang Ziye said with a laugh.

A lone tree does not make a forest; a single thread does not make a line.

Even though Fang Ziye's research group now had a talent pool, and the number of people who could perform tendon repair was not small, they still needed to seek external help.

It was just to share the workload.

After Fang Ziye and Wang Zongkai pushed open the Director's Office door and agreed on things, Wang Zongkai first froze, then froze again.

After confirming the visitor's identity, his tone trembled a bit: "President Zhang, good morning!"

The President of Han City University, Zhang Pingwen, was an Academician — a big shot.

Seeing the visitor's identity, Fang Ziye also froze, then hurriedly said: "President Zhang, President Xu, why have the two of you come?"

Zhang Pingwen wore a crew cut, looking amiable; hearing this, he nodded lightly: "I was brought over by President Yuan to take a look."

Zhang Pingwen also saw Fang Ziye turning his head left and right, so he said: "I didn't send a message to your Zhongnan Hospital's Dean, and I told President Yuan not to send messages to the Medical College people either."

"Just purely coming to take a look at you."

Hearing this, Wang Zongkai immediately pretended to be sensible and said: "President Zhang, President Yuan, I still have surgery, so I'll head to the operating room first?"

Zhang Pingwen and Yuan Yufeng both nodded, not caring what Wang Zongkai was going to do.

Fang Ziye, on the other hand, hurriedly brought the two into the Director's Office again, had Zhang Pingwen and Yuan Yufeng sit in the seats of honor, and personally served tea.
