Chapter 44: Can Play Training Videos at 1.5x Speed

"Director Tao Tao, after the Dean and Vice Dean went to see him personally at six o'clock, he woke up."

Pei Nanli, having heard this, pressed her lips together and stepped into the elevator.

A hand reached out to block the elevator doors from closing.

Pei Nanli looked closely; the person entering was Wang Chuan, carrying two boxes of white rice porridge in his right hand.

"Wang Chuan~ why didn't you reply to my message last night? Let me tell you, I don't drink gruel; I had breakfast long ago."

Wang Chuan was stunned; he hadn't expected to meet Pei Nanli in the elevator. "I fell asleep yesterday. Since I've run into you now, I'll just reply to the text message. No need to be polite; you saved me back in my freshman year too."

Ding-dong. The elevator arrived at the fourth floor. Wang Chuan walked out, turned back, and said, "This white rice porridge isn't for you. It's for my mentor teacher."

Pei Nanli rolled her eyes, thinking Wang Chuan was making an excuse. "Who are you fooling? You're on rotation in the Emergency Department, not the Digestive Department."

"Dr. Zhang Yang in the Emergency Department is my Mentor Teacher; he is being discharged from the Digestive Department today."

After Wang Chuan finished speaking, he went to the Nurse Station to ask for the room number, then walked into Room 408.

Having known Zhang Yang in the Emergency Department in his past life, he said, "Teacher Zhang Yang, hello. I am Wang Chuan from Jiangcheng University School of Medicine. Director Gao arranged for me to be your student."

After a round of self-introductions, he handed over the soft, overcooked white rice porridge and half a packet of pickled vegetables.

Having just recovered from food poisoning, the dietary principle is: mild, low-fat, low-fiber, and easy to digest.

They then chatted about football; Zhang Yang was a fan, and the two discussed their expectations for the European Cup.

At that moment, another resident doctor, Wu Qinghua, came out after using the Toilet. Introduced by Zhang Yang and Wang Chuan, he also drank some of the white rice porridge Wang Chuan had brought.

"So it was you who saved Director Tao Tao and that beautiful Intern yesterday!" Wu Qinghua took two sips of the white rice porridge and praised him.

Zhang Yang said, "Wang Chuan, although Director Gao arranged this, to be my student, you still need to pass an assessment. Only if you pass will I agree; otherwise, even if the Dean makes a call, it won't work."

Wu Qinghua hurriedly said, "I heard Dr. Gu say that Wang Chuan performed a cricothyrotomy yesterday and sutured wounds on three people's arms. He definitely has hands-on ability."

After hearing this, Zhang Yang said, "Oh, it seems that as an Intern, you only acted as an assistant for three suture operations. Not bad, but we still need to assess your independent operational ability."

"It's not yet seven ten. Let's go to the Surgery Training Room now and assess you."

Wang Chuan had not yet opened his mouth to answer.

Whoosh-whoosh. Wu Qinghua, who had just finished the white rice porridge, said, "Attending Physician Zhang, the four operations I mentioned just now were all performed by Wang Chuan alone—the punctures and the sutures. He did not act as an assistant to Attending Physician Sun or Dr. Gu."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang thought, This kid, so awesome?!

For an Intern to perform an operation independently for the first time, at the very least, more than half of the internship period must have passed, and it requires having trained hard in the Training Lecture Hall and gained experience by participating as an assistant in multiple operations; only then is it possible.

"Could you be a genius? Let's go~~."

Calling Wang Chuan and Wu Qinghua, he hurriedly went to the Surgery Training Room in the Surgery Building.

This training room was on the same floor as the Training Lecture Hall, but it was twice as large.

It was divided into the General Surgery Training Room, the Microsurgery Training Room, and the Equipment Requisition Room.

"You do the suturing." Zhang Yang pointed to the silicone synthetic skin model on the operating table.

Wang Chuan, full of confidence, picked up the needle and thread and began suturing.

Very quickly, Zhang Yang discovered that Wang Chuan had not only completed the suturing but had used five suture methods: Interrupted Suture, Continuous Suture, Lock-Edge Suture, Vertical Mattress Suture, and Horizontal Mattress Suture.

The proficiency in instrument handling, needle insertion angle, stitch spacing, edge distance, knot-tying technique, and operational efficiency left Wu Qinghua with his mouth hanging open in shock. "Wang Chuan, your performance feels like a second Attending Physician Zhang."

Zhang Yang placed a detached pig trotter on the operating table. "Wang Chuan, come on, continue!"

Zhang Yang thought the silicone synthetic skin model was still a bit far from real patient skin; let's see how you suture a pig trotter.

Suturing a pig trotter involved skin suturing, fascia suturing, and subcutaneous tension-relief suturing.

The result was no surprise; Wang Chuan sutured it perfectly.

"Come, suture this chicken leg."

The tendons and muscle textures of the chicken leg were clear, suitable for practicing deep tissue suturing and needle holder manipulation. Wang Chuan used a Figure-of-Eight Suture to complete the muscle fascia suturing.

Zhang Yang, who had been suppressing his excitement for a long time, stretched out both hands and excitedly grabbed Wang Chuan's shoulders. "Wang Chuan, how did you do this? Practice makes perfect. Did you train hard every day at your Jiangda Medical College?"

Wang Chuan nodded, then added, "Teacher Zhang, I have a naturally good memory. After seeing something once, it's like a movie stored in my brain; during my free time, I can replay it slowly and study it carefully."

"Haha, Heaven has granted you a meal. You have extraordinary talent. No wonder Director Gao arranged for you to be my student."

Zhang Yang paced back and forth happily. "Starting tomorrow, all your free time, you will train with me in microsurgery. There is still time, there is still time."

"This year's Three-City Competition between the Emergency Departments or Hand Surgery Departments of hospitals in the three cities. Our Mingzhou First Hospital has hope of achieving a good ranking."

"Teacher Zhang, why tomorrow? Can't we learn today, right now?"

Although Wang Chuan didn't know what the Three-City Competition was, his enthusiasm for learning microsurgery was very high.

Wu Qinghua felt Wang Chuan had high talent and that starting to learn today was not impossible. "Attending Physician Zhang, how about we start today?"

"Every time, Mingzhou Sixth Hospital wins first place in the Three-City Competition. If we train Wang Chuan well, perhaps he will surpass Attending Physician Sun very soon."

"According to the rules, doctors in advanced training and Interns in the hospital can all participate."

The Three-City Competition involves two hospitals from each of Mingzhou City, Wenzhou, and Jiaozhou sending doctors from their Emergency or Hand Surgery Departments, including doctors in advanced training and hospital Interns, totaling three contestants per city, to compete in Microsurgical Finger Replantation and Microsurgical Limb Replantation.

Zhang Yang walked up to Wang Chuan and said slowly, "Wang Chuan, regular microsurgery training is divided into three stages: laboratory microsurgery operation training, clinical theory training and surgical observation, and clinical practice operations."

"The first stage generally requires 1 to 4 weeks of training, starting with basic theory training to familiarize you with and master the correct use of microscopes and microsurgical instruments, as well as the standard methods for anastomosing nerves and blood vessels."

"Theoretical training requires 1 to 2 weeks of full-time study. Alright then, I will start with video and courseware explanations. There are still forty minutes before the Emergency Department handover; learn as much as you can."

Zhang Yang opened the door to the Microsurgery Training Room. On the white wall hung a screen. Zhang Yang turned on the computer, and the screen displayed "Microsurgery Technique Training Manual, Mingzhou Sixth Hospital, June 2003."

"Up to now, the best microsurgery technique is still at Mingzhou Sixth Hospital; after all, they have many cases, and practice makes perfect. I used to be in the Emergency Department of Mingzhou Sixth Hospital too."

"Wang Chuan, watch carefully. If you have any doubts or questions, you can ask me immediately." Zhang Yang said.

"No problem, Teacher Zhang."

Wang Chuan watched the courseware with full concentration, memorizing every single word of its content into his mind.

He memorized while recalling.

After finishing the courseware, he also finished watching the video of the practical operations.

Zhang Yang asked, "Wang Chuan, let's play the video a few more times!"

Wang Chuan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, recalling the content of the video just now frame by frame.

Opening his eyes, he said, "Play the video again at 1.5x speed."
