Chapter 348 Are you alright, Professor Deng? (Second update, please subscribe)

"Ziye, your manual reduction technique is quite something, isn't it? You've turned such a complex fracture fragment into a super-fast assembly of building blocks."

"Huh? Manual repositioning technique, it seems like no one has ever defined what it means to be 'proficient' in it, right? And it seems like no one has ever performed it." Professor Liu Huanglong's eyesight was still sharp.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye continued his procedure while saying, "Teacher Liu, this manual repositioning technique is something I learned from an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor when I was studying in Enshi, so it contains some of the concepts of traditional Chinese medicine."

"The current level is alright."

Fang Ziye was not arrogant.

But Yuan Weihong had already read Liu Huanglong's mind and guessed his intentions. He quickly said, "Professor Liu, Ziye's manual repositioning technique is truly exceptional."

"Based on this, our group's basic research project, which is a pure data analysis project for fracture reclassification, was published in BMJ and will continue to be a key research and development project for our basic research group."

"Based on this foundation, and combined with the advantages of our traditional medical techniques for fracture reduction, our small research group's next goal is to redefine the severity of fractures and treatment options."

As Yuan Weihong spoke, even Fang Ziye's eyes flickered fiercely a few times.

Master? How come I don't know him?
Of course, this is my mentor. Compared to bragging and showing off, he is at least the best in orthopedics at Central South University.

A single leaf in Beihai.

Liu Huanglong's mind went blank for a moment again.

After careful consideration, Liu Huanglong asked with a mixture of belief and doubt, "Ziye, you can't believe it, your repositioning technique has reached a level that ordinary people can't achieve, and has even broken the norm?"

Fang Ziye knew that his master, Yuan Weihong, never showed off without a reason. Since he had chosen to do so now, there must be a deeper meaning behind it.

He then said somewhat modestly, "Teacher Liu, it's not that it's beyond the reach of ordinary people, but rather that we have lost a lot of things, and coincidentally, I just happened to pick them up again under the guidance of that old Chinese medicine doctor."

Previously, Fang Ziye was ambivalent about the manual repositioning techniques used in traditional Chinese medicine.

But now, the more I experience it, the more I realize how amazing it is that our ancestors were able to develop so many repositioning techniques before X-rays were even available.

While it is quite possible that technological limitations led them to mythologize certain operational techniques, the essence of their thinking and theories, especially their mechanism for dividing power, is actually very unique and worth learning.

Liu Huanglong fell silent.

Next door, Associate Professor Guan Qiquan also fell silent.

Seeing that the two were not speaking, Fang Ziye called to his master: "Master, get another bone forceps to fix the bone here. Then we need to add a titanium mesh and bone cement for shaping and support."

"Otherwise, the talus bone would be completely unable to support it."

The talus is a crucial bony support for the ankle and foot; without it, any talk of functional reconstruction is meaningless.

To draw a person, you must first draw their bones. For a person to stand upright, their bones must first be strong and straight.

Watching Fang Ziye and Yuan Weihong's skillful teamwork.

Liu Huanglong sighed again, "It really is like the founding fathers were chasing after us to feed us."

"Brother Wei, why doesn't your hospital think about boosting Ziye's business? All you do is have him perform procedures like debridement and suturing, and minor fractures all day long?"

What a pity!
With only a level 5 basic skill level, dealing with such minor illnesses is like putting a golden rice bowl in a pile of shit—a complete waste! Like using precious nanmu wood to cook rice, or dismantling an aircraft carrier to make cooking utensils.
Yuan Weihong quickly said, "Professor Liu, this, this really isn't because we don't value it."

"Ziye is only twenty-eight this year."

“I graduated with my master’s degree last year and my doctorate this year. Now I’ve just reached the position of chief resident. Even if I were to jump again, I’d have to do it gently. Otherwise, if I fall too high and get hurt, we wouldn’t want to see me hurt…”

Yuan Weihong's voice was exceptionally affectionate.

Jumping too high all at once, for example, directly granting the attending physician authority to the prescription, and randomly stuffing in a whole bunch of Level 3 surgical procedures.

They've blocked Fang Ziye's surgical authority. If something goes wrong, who will be held responsible when it comes to accountability?
If Fang Ziye is ruined, wouldn't Deng Yong and Yuan Weihong be filled with bitter regret?

Fang Ziye is now making steady progress, with the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars as a guarantee, the Yangtze River Scholar program as a prospect, and the highest academician status is not out of the question. So why force things to grow too fast?
Whether Zhongnan Hospital lacks a skilled surgeon for bone defects, a Yangtze River Scholar in twenty years, or an academician in thirty years, everyone knows the answer perfectly well.

If something goes wrong after making an exception, the entire group will be utterly destroyed.

Upon hearing this, Liu Huanglong was so moved he almost cried: "That makes sense. Why isn't he a student at Peking Union Medical College?"

Guan Qiquan grew impatient upon hearing this and said with a grin, "Professor Liu, you're mistaken. We're all children of Central South University. If our family has produced talented people, then perhaps we should try to avoid marrying into other families?"

The meaning is clear: whether you, Liu Huanglong, return to Zhongnan University or not is your problem, your freedom and choice. If you break your promise, at most you'll be scolded for not keeping your word, which is insignificant.

But don't dismantle your own house's beams.

"Continue the surgery!"

"These micro-operations are really exciting, especially when dealing with such unfamiliar diseases, they are absolutely exciting..." Liu Huanglong was like a child who had found a fun toy.

Mature surgical techniques, thanks to the efforts of predecessors, have established benchmarks for improvement.

In these immature surgical procedures, everything comes down to each person's absolute fundamental skills, micro-management, surgical decisions, and surgical approach—it's a completely new field. Fortunately, Fang Ziye possesses an exceptionally rich quantity and depth of fundamental skills in this area.

It's like in a country where polygamy is absolutely free, if you also have money, wouldn't you have more fun than others? It's a matter of your personal choice!

……

The surgery continued, proceeding step by step.

The quality of treatment after the first surgery was not high; it only improved the patient's survival level.

Moreover, if the survival rate of such cases of absolute destructive injury can exceed 60%, that would be a very significant breakthrough, allowing for the creation of a unique name for the treatment of destructive injury diseases.

Limb salvage surgery for a person with severe injuries.

Currently, many high-end surgical techniques originate from this. There are also some particularly mature surgical techniques whose prefixes have been removed because their development has reached a point of absolute maturity, and the scholars who developed these techniques are already well-known or even deceased; they do not need academic fame to support their future.

Before the sands of time had settled, the exclusivity of names naturally faded, and the developers of surgical procedures were associated with their names, thus becoming a significant part of medical history.

It was 11:30 in the afternoon.

After the surgery finally came to an end, the patient was wheeled out of the operating room and personally led back to the trauma surgery ward by Xiong Jinhuan.

After removing his sterile surgical gown, Professor Liu Huanglong walked to the sink, looked at his tired eyes and piercing expression in the large mirror, and said:

"To be honest, I have never seen surgery performed with such pure basic skills before, nor have I ever seen so many pure basic skills appear in the same surgery."

The basic skills at the level of a 'national champion' are not particularly numerous; they are precious because they are scarce, and few can reach their level because they are so outstanding.

At Peking Union Medical College Hospital, within the entire orthopedics department, the only doctor who can be considered a "national-level expert" is Professor Zhong Junyu, the most outstanding hand surgeon.

But Professor Zhong Junyu's core skill is suturing, a specialized and outstanding surgical technique, namely vascular suturing and tendon suturing. Based on this, he has established the leading and outstanding position of Union Hospital's hand surgery department in Hubei Province.

Fang Ziye's current skill level is all basic, and it is clear that he has not specifically developed into a specialist.

For example, osteotomy and reshaping techniques based on manual reduction; nerve, blood vessel, and tendon suturing techniques based on suturing; or debridement techniques based on debridement, such as fat debridement, nerve root and nerve trace debridement, vascular debridement, and bone debridement...

At least, it wasn't specifically cultivated in depth.

Of course, the objective conditions are also obvious: TM's Fang Ziye is young.

No one wants Fang Ziye to be elevated to such a high position only to fall from grace and be shattered. Therefore, Zhongnan Hospital's current policy towards Fang Ziye is to first ensure his stability and development. After a period of stability, his professional title, surgical authority, and other promotions will be enhanced, granting him priority access to all promotion resources within the orthopedics department.

"Then Professor Liu can come and visit more often, right?" Yuan Weihong took the opportunity to push forward.

I thought Liu Huanglong would be polite.

Unexpectedly, Liu Huanglong said, "Okay, give me some time."

"This period will not be long, and it is expected to be after the May holiday."

crunch.

Guan Qiquan, Fang Ziye, and Yuan Weihong all had their minds go blank.

Is this time not very long? This is way too damn short!

How could you, Liu Huanglong, possibly do that? A full professor resigning within a month? You're one of the outstanding young scientists at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, do you think they'd let you go?

How much compensation do you want?

Ignoring everyone's expressions, Liu Huanglong glanced at his watch and said, "It's getting late, so I won't treat you all to dinner today. You should all get some rest."

“Ziye, you should also go and check on the emergency department. There was an urgent consultation patient before, but you referred him to your department’s attending resident, which is actually not appropriate in principle.”

Fang Ziye was the first to wake up when he was called out. He explained, "Professor Liu, it's alright. My master entrusted Brother Qin Geluo with that emergency consultation. Qin Geluo has more experience in handling emergency consultations than I do."

Fang Ziye wanted to curry favor with Liu Huanglong, who might come to Zhongnan Hospital, so Yuan Weihong immediately made Qin Geluo his "backup chief resident" laborer.

Liu Huanglong then left.

After getting dressed, he left the changing room immediately. Guan Qiquan, after waking up, quickly followed him, carefully attending to him.

Liu Huanglong is a specialist in hand surgery, yet he ate dinner in the operating room's mess room. This was actually a poor reception, and he would be criticized if word got out.

However, after Yuan Weihong regained consciousness, the first thing he did was not to call Fang Ziye to have dinner, but to call Professor Deng Yong and explain the situation.

"Professor Deng, are you okay?"

"Huh? You weren't seriously hurt?" Yuan Weihong asked as he walked out, still on the phone. After a few steps, he waved to Fang Ziye, signaling him to come with him.
