top student at medical school

Chapter 324 On Excellence (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

Good heavens, this is the former director of the trauma surgery department at Enshi Central Hospital. He resigned after blaming himself for the Huang Kai incident, and I heard he's going to take the doctoral entrance exam and pursue a different career path.

When Director Zhang Mingcan saw Fang Ziye enter, he was taken aback at first, and then said warmly, "Dr. Fang, it really is you! I was wondering if I would run into you since I accidentally got injured near Zhongnan Hospital and came to the emergency room."

Fang Ziye went to the countryside for training as a master's student last year. It was Zhang Mingcan, who was then the director, who took over the commission from Professor Li Guohua.

Later, I heard that Fang Ziye was going abroad, but not long after that, he came back and became the chief resident.

The speed of this progress is simply outrageous.

In a large teaching hospital, a year flies by. Fang Ziye went from a master's degree holder to a physician in just one year? That speed is enough to make anyone green with envy.

Even though Zhang Mingcan had previously served as the head of a department in a prefecture-level city hospital, this was still the case.

Fang Ziye hurriedly inquired about the details of what had happened and learned that Director Zhang Mingcan was quite unlucky. On his way back to Enshi from Hanshi, he was involved in a car accident!
Then they became patients and rushed to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the emergency department, Director Zhang Mingcan spontaneously suggested several tests, which almost led to an argument with the people in the surgical clinic. There may have been other unpleasant incidents as well, but Zhang Mingcan did not elaborate further.

Medical workers have a deep-seated aversion to those who only have a superficial understanding of the subject.

Li Hui probably thought Zhang Mingcan was that kind of person, so he warned Fang Ziye in advance.

But Fang Ziye knew that Zhang Mingcan was definitely not someone who was half-knowledgeable but incompetent. He used to be a director, how could he be half-knowledgeable but incompetent?

"Director Zhang, you've confirmed your current condition yourself with the X-rays! The fracture diagnosis is very clear. We can look forward to manual reduction and plaster cast fixation," Fang Ziye concluded.

Zhang Mingcan nodded: "I came here because of your skills. After the collision, I knew the deformity meant there was definitely a fracture. The driver even said I was exaggerating and trying to extort money from him."

“The people in the emergency surgery clinic said that the plain X-ray was not clear and that a CT scan was necessary. I refused the CT scan, saying that the X-ray was sufficient. They said that I was interfering with their normal treatment procedure and that they might not be able to detect hidden injuries.”

"Those who drowned were all good swimmers..."

After half-complaining and half-explaining, Zhang Mingcan added, "The person who received me from the department was someone else, so I still had to call you down."

“Since we’ve already arrived in Wuhan and encountered this situation, and with Dr. Fang as an acquaintance, I won’t be too polite.” Zhang Mingcan’s tone sounded quite informal.

"Director Zhang, of course."

Fang Ziye explained with a smile, "Actually, Brother Hui in the emergency room is also a very good doctor, but he is a neurosurgeon. As you know, neurosurgery deals with diseases like CT scans."

"Fractures that cannot be detected by X-rays are frequently discovered..."

In fact, both Zhang Mingcan and Li Hui had a pretty good relationship with Fang Ziye, but they both complained about each other to Fang Ziye, which made it difficult for Fang Ziye to take sides.

“But I’m an orthopedic surgeon. Although I’ve been a novice for about half a year, I’m not that rusty. I told you…” Zhang Mingcan still had some complaints about Li Hui in the surgical clinic.

Although it was Zhang Mingcan, the procedures such as the interview and signing still had to be followed without exception.

Informed consent is a basic medical principle. Even if the hospital director comes, he has to sign it, and he has to sign it even more. Otherwise, things won't be clear.

Because it was Zhang Mingcan, these procedures were very simple.

Fractures are actually not complicated, and Zhang Mingcan can handle similar patients himself.

But to be both a doctor and a patient is truly a difficult task!

For Fang Ziye, this operation was a bit too simple.

Level 5 manual reduction surgery is not just about speed. Fortunately, because it is manual reduction of fractures rather than manual reduction of joint dislocations, Zhang Mingcan's patients have a very good experience and experience no pain at all.

Therefore, the process of repositioning and plaster fixation is very short.

“Dr. Fang, I finally understand why most fracture patients would rather give you a banner than me,” Zhang Mingcan said.

"Why?" Fang Ziye asked while bandaging the wound.

When patients are in the hospital, the current prescription provider has no say.

"Because it's fast, and the experience is great."

"After the surgery, the pain from the fracture will disappear, but the pain from the surgical incision will reappear as the anesthesia wears off. It's just jumping from one problem to another."

"But does the pain subside after closed reduction and successful reduction?"

“I’m even thinking of presenting you with a banner, Dr. Fang…” Zhang Mingcan gestured with his thumb, making such a comment as a knowledgeable colleague.

This is already a very high evaluation, and the evaluator has a very prestigious background.

After Fang Ziye finished wrapping the bandage, he made a simple forearm sling for Zhang Mingcan and said, "Director Zhang, when you get back, buy a more comfortable support yourself. I'll recommend this to you. I'm not afraid you'll report me." "Okay."

After the repositioning and the joke, Zhang Mingcan wasn't in a hurry to have a follow-up X-ray. Instead, he went to Fang Ziye and said, "Dr. Fang, thank you. I've heard my two good-for-nothing students talk about you too."

"I really don't know how to thank you enough."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye waved his hand slightly, somewhat embarrassed: "Director Zhang, actually I didn't do anything. It's mainly because Du Hai and Guan Hongming are both quite diligent, so their own efforts are the biggest factor in their ability to publish articles."

"I just mentioned it casually."

Guan Hongming and Du Hai were terrified when they changed their advisor to Wu Guonan midway through their studies, fearing they wouldn't be able to graduate!
Fang Ziye worked very hard when he was in Enshi, and after he left, he worked even harder. All of this was to ensure he could graduate safely.

Every choice has far-reaching consequences.

"No, Dr. Fang's guidance and mentorship are not something that just anyone can easily enjoy."

“Last year and this year, I participated in many doctoral review exams as an older master’s student. During these review exams, I heard about Dr. Fang’s name.” Zhang Mingcan said, craning his neck to look at Fang Ziye with even more curiosity.

His gaze was calm and collected, as if it carried a penetrating power that could riddle Fang Ziye with holes.

Among the interviewees Zhang Mingcan encountered were those who had taken the doctoral entrance exam for Zhongnan Hospital last year and were taking it for the second time. They said that last year, Fang Ziye acted as the "Zhongnan Trauma Mascot" during the doctoral assessment process.

As we all know, those who can serve as mascots are usually exceptionally talented individuals. Those who are only moderately talented are not dared to be casually deployed for training, for fear of embarrassment.

Realizing that Fang Ziye had only taken the doctoral entrance exam last year, and was now standing here doing all this, Zhang Mingcan felt that the world was not so real.

Fang Ziye is truly too outstanding.

Upon hearing Zhang Mingcan's words, Fang Ziye didn't respond to questions about himself, but instead asked with concern, "Director Zhang, how did your doctoral entrance exam go? Did you receive an offer?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingcan sighed, "Hey? Don't even mention it. At this age, it's really a disadvantage to take the doctoral entrance exam. I've already gone back to work, but I chose to go to another province."

"I just came from work and was planning to visit some friends in Seoul, but I didn't expect this to happen?"

Fang Ziye was initially pleased to hear Director Zhang Mingcan talk about his work, but upon hearing that he had been transferred to another province, he felt a pang of sadness.

Zhang Mingcan's trip seemed like a joke; he ended up back in the cage of a trauma surgeon, just in a different place.

"It's good to have a change of environment, Director Zhang," Fang Ziye said.

"Yeah, a change of environment is good. But what about Huang Kai?" Zhang Mingcan sighed, then thought of Huang Kai again.

"Sigh, never mind, let's not talk about it anymore..." Zhang Mingcan took the initiative to end the topic.

Fang Ziye said, "Director Zhang, you've actually done your best!"

Zhang Mingcan went to great lengths to get that thing out.

Finally, even Shen Tao from the Hubei Provincial People's Hospital, who had the trauma surgery department of the Hubei Provincial People's Hospital as a protective shield, was almost completely silenced for causing too much trouble.

Zhang Mingcan did everything he could in Enshi, and with Pang Hong, the director of the Department of Infectious Disease Surgery, having already experienced such a situation, it was clear that a head-on, reckless charge forward was not an option.

Zhang Mingcan has done his best.

"Ziye, I really envy you. I really envy you guys, being able to be excellent and free..." Zhang Mingcan changed the subject after not knowing how to continue the previous topic, and said this.

Actually, Fang Ziye was also deeply moved when he saw Zhang Mingcan.

Moreover, deep down, Fang Ziye was actually a little afraid of seeing or thinking about Zhang Mingcan, Pang Hong, and the others; because of his helplessness, Fang Ziye didn't know how to comfort them.

"Director Zhang, things will only get better and better in the future," Fang Ziye encouraged him.

"Yes, the future will always get better and better. I hope that next time we will have the opportunity to invite Dr. Fang to our unit for teaching and other activities. If the opportunity is right, Dr. Fang, please don't refuse, okay?" Finally, Zhang Mingcan got out of his inner struggle and made this invitation.

"Where exactly is Director Zhang working now?" Fang Ziye asked.

The administrative director of a top-tier hospital in a prefecture-level city who resigns voluntarily and without taking responsibility will generally find a job that is not much worse than the one he did.

In addition, Zhang Mingcan also has the title of master's supervisor, which makes him extremely sought after when looking for a job.

"I had to swallow my pride and ask my former mentor for help. Now I'm working under a junior colleague at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College..." Zhang Mingcan said somewhat embarrassedly.

"I wish Director Zhang a speedy recovery so that he can help other patients!" Fang Ziye originally wanted to say "that's great," but considering that Zhang Mingcan's original workplace was not bad and that he was being forced to switch jobs at the same level, he didn't say anything like "that's great."
