After finishing his rounds, Deng Yong said, "The attending physicians should go and complete their assigned duties. The patients who were scheduled for surgery today should submit their surgery request forms for next Monday by today."

"Li Yuanpei, you're in charge of following up on the preoperative consultation, signing, and preoperative medical orders, as well as the preoperative examination results. You've been the assistant chief resident for a while now, it's time for you to step up and take charge."

Previously, Luo Tingzhu had been handling all these matters, which meant that Li Yuanpei was relatively free.

But that's no longer possible. Yan Zhiming, who is about to enter the third grade, needs to start learning surgery and should put aside some things he is doing to prepare for staying in the hospital and finding a job.

Li Yuanpei naturally had to start doing things as well.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanpei didn't mince words. After nodding, he said to the group of master's students and resident physicians, "Everyone, get serious. Today's group study meeting will be postponed to the afternoon. This morning, we will conduct a thorough review of the group's medical records and doctor's orders."

"This afternoon is our organized mini-preoperative professional training session..."

With that, Li Yuanpei left with a group of junior master's students, including Lan Tianluo and others.

Watching Li Yuanpei leave, Liu Huanglong rubbed his thick nose: "Professor Duan, your student is quite interesting; his organizational skills are impressive!"

Upon hearing this, Deng Yong and the others looked at Liu Huanglong. Deng Yong said, "Professor Liu, his name is Li Yuanpei. His professional ability and research level are just average. All he has left is diligence."

Liu Huanglong shook his head: "No, no, no, no, Professor Deng."

"Treatment depends on professional skills and theoretical depth, while scientific research depends on wisdom. Organizational management skills have little to do with treating diseases or scientific research."

"But this ability is actually a matter of talent."

As Liu Huanglong followed Deng Yong toward the director's office, he said, "Xiao Fang, you should have gone through the residency stage, right? Xiao Fang, if a senior colleague had added these things to your residency, wouldn't you have complained?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye seemed to be thinking and said, "Teacher Liu, we never had any so-called study sessions or preoperative professional training procedures before."

"Including when Tingzhu was the assistant chief resident before?"

Fang Ziye looked in Li Yuanpei's direction and didn't continue speaking.

Everyone knows that team learning is good, but as Liu Huanglong said, during the professional master's stage, there are already so many things to do in daily life, how can there be any other free time to attend some random small learning sessions?
Most so-called team learning sessions are merely formalities, going through the motions without actually learning anything.

Few people usually pay extra attention to Li Yuanpei.

Li Yuanpei's qualifications were average. It can be said that Deng Yong paid a "very bad price" for Li Yuanpei's promotion from master's to doctoral. He was even dismissed from his position as ward director by the old professor.

In the eyes of many, Li Yuanpei's main goal was to obtain a degree and then have a good future, which was the best gift Deng Yong could give him.

To say that Li Yuanpei is hardworking enough, then yes, he is.

Moreover, because of his wealthy family background, Li Yuanpei attended many private coaching classes, which were quite expensive.

Yuan Weihong said, "Professor Deng, I also think that what Professor Liu said makes sense. If the team expands too much, it will definitely be difficult for us doctors to manage it."

"Some outstanding teams integrate clinical practice with scientific research, and vice versa. Some large laboratories even have relatively specialized management positions..."

"I think it's worth considering."

"Of course, the most important thing is to see what Yuanpei himself wants."

Yuan Weihong's understanding of Liu Huanglong's words makes perfect sense.

It's a mystery how Li Yuanpei managed to add so much to these young men's schedule in less than half a month after Luo Tingzhu left, and less than a week after Yan Zhiming, a senior student, relinquished his position as chief resident assistant, without anyone complaining to their superiors.

Li Yuanpei's ability to do this demonstrates his exceptional talent.

Deng Yong said, "Let's talk about it later."

Just as he was about to speak, Deng Yong saw Nie Mingxian trying to squeeze into the doctor's office and said, "Mingxian, don't leave yet, come with us."

"I'll assign tasks and surgical authority within the group later, and Mingxian, you'll have a share too."

Nie Mingxian turned to Deng Yong and said in a low-key manner, "Professor Deng, I am just a doctoral student, I cannot take on any power."

Deng Yong retorted, "What are you talking about? Pursuing a doctorate won't strip you of your associate professor title, so what are you afraid of?"

Nie Mingxian could only follow along.

……

The director's office contained only two chairs and a sofa, where Liu Huanglong and Deng Yong sat facing each other.

"Professor Liu, have you ever dabbled in bone lengthening, bone transport, or bone reconstruction?" Deng Yong asked Liu Huanglong directly after entering the director's office.

Liu Huanglong glanced at Yuan Weihong and the others and said, "Professor Deng, just start making arrangements according to your plan. Although I am a full professor now, I am more of a full professor in hand surgery."

"I can handle defect reconstruction surgeries like bone reconstruction, but I need a long learning period for more specialized trauma surgery procedures such as bone transport and osteotomy."

"This should fall under Dr. Yuan's purview."

Liu Huanglong knew very well that Deng Yong was taking care of him, but Liu Huanglong didn't need any extra care from Deng Yong. He could just study for a while longer.

Deng Yong nodded, took the tea from Fang Ziye, and watched as Qin Geluo filled Liu Huanglong's teacup as well, then said, "That's settled then. I'll do the bone lengthening and osteotomy tomorrow. Yuan Weihong, you take over the bone transport procedure."

"As for the bone defect reconstruction surgery, I'll have to trouble Professor Liu."

"Qin Geluo, you will stay with Yuan Weihong throughout the entire process. Nie Mingxian will work with Professor Liu to complete the bone reconstruction surgery. As for Ziye, it depends on the situation whether he stays with me or goes to another group to help out."

“In the future, if there are bone graft surgeries or fracture surgeries in our group, we will temporarily hand them over to you two young people, Ziye and Nie Mingxian, to practice.”

"Qin Geluo is about to begin learning bone transport techniques!" Deng Yong said.

"it is good!!"

"Ok."

……

Everyone nodded.

However, Liu Huanglong noticed a problem: "Professor Deng, I have reviewed the patients in the group today, and there are not many patients with fractures or those that can be treated with bone grafting alone."

"At Ziye's age, if he were to step down from his position as chief resident emergency consultant, it would be time for him to practice a lot of surgeries."

"This contradicts the hospital's internal disease admission criteria. How does our hospital usually handle this?"

Upon hearing this, Deng Yong first asked Liu Huanglong, "Professor Liu, how did your former hospital, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, resolve this conflict?"

After Deng Yong finished speaking, he leisurely took a sip of his tea in front of everyone.

"Our hand surgery specialties are relatively limited. We perform almost all kinds of surgeries in complex procedures, such as finger replantation and palm replantation, and there are many categories of minor procedures."

“However, I’ve heard that some colleagues from other hospitals often go out for consultations when they don’t have enough cases…” Liu Huanglong hoped that Fang Ziye would grow up faster and have a certain number of surgeries of his own. “That’s right. Our hospital often goes out for consultations when we don’t have enough cases.”

"Including Qin Geluo, and Wei Hong before him, they all find time to perform surgery during their spare time."

“Ziye will be exempt from emergency consultations next week, so it’s time for him to find these practice cases on his own.”

“Of course, we will help look for it together. If it’s convenient for Professor Liu, and he encounters a similar surgery in his outpatient clinic, he can recommend that they have the surgery performed at a nearby hospital, and then have Ziye go there to do it.”

"In this way, the overall cost is actually lower than staying in our hospital," Deng Yong said.

There's a clever plan from above, and a ladder to climb over the wall for me!
A living person cannot be suffocated by birds. The fact that Zhongnan Hospital has no beds available for simple illnesses does not mean that Fang Ziye and others do not need to have access to them.

Qin Geluo raised his hand immediately: "Professor Deng, let's switch the areas of responsibility for Ziye's cases. With my current abilities, it's still a bit difficult for me to start working directly on bone transport techniques."

“I haven’t accumulated a large number of fracture treatment patients, but when I saw Ziye perform fracture surgery last time, he was already highly skilled. He doesn’t need such surgeries to practice.”

Qin Geluo took a step back.

Only surgeries that you are capable of performing can be called specialized surgeries.

Taking something you can't do is a pure waste of resources.

"Okay!~"

"Ge Luo, this arrangement was your request, so you can't have any complaints later or say I'm favoring Ziye," Deng Yong warned in advance.

Qin Geluo smiled and said, "Teacher Deng, am I that kind of person?"

"A teacher need not be more virtuous than his student, nor a student need not be inferior to his teacher. One who is accomplished can be a teacher."

"This is respect for me, and also respect for the patients." Qin Geluo smiled after saying this: "Even Xuehua and Zixi are too lazy to compete with Ziye in terms of seniority. They're just relying on their age. Why should I feel bad about it?"

"We got it, that makes things much easier."

Yuan Weihong lowered his head like an ostrich.

Many people can win over their superiors, but he cannot afford to lose his master's authority yet.

Because they were originally master and apprentice, it's just that Yuan Weihong wouldn't use Fang Ziye as a reference.

It's like having your own carefully nurtured child clipped when they grow up and start to fly away.

"Mingxian, what are your own thoughts?" Deng Yong then looked at Nie Mingxian with a cheerful smile, his tone exceptionally gentle, the mole on the corner of his mouth hidden by his smiling chin.

Extremely kind and approachable.

Nie Mingxian and Deng Yong are in love, but they are not sure yet, so they need to discuss it carefully.

Furthermore, I haven't spent enough time with Nie Mingxian, so for now I can only use high-value incentives to lure him!

When Nie Mingxian, a newcomer, heard Deng Yong call his name, he stood up and said, "I will follow the arrangements of Teacher Deng and Teacher Liu."

Upon hearing this, Deng Yong's expression turned serious: "How can this be considered an arrangement? This is a result of mutual consent and discussion."

"I think it would be more suitable for you, Mingxian, to start with emergency surgery. I wonder if you have any other suggestions?"

If we want to bring in a genius like Nie Mingxian, we must first make sure that Nie Mingxian is knowledgeable in the field.

How could Nie Mingxian, who has no expertise in the field, possibly be interested in trauma surgery?

Nie Mingxian's basic skills are undoubtedly excellent. Although he may not be as good as Fang Ziye, he can still outsmart all the PhDs in the department, including geniuses like Luo Tingzhu. They are all his juniors!

A glimpse into the whole reveals the character of Nie Mingxian; his temperament speaks for itself. The fact that Liu Huanglong values ​​him so highly indicates that his fundamental skills are undoubtedly excellent.

What are the basic skills? The basic skills are the inner strength. People with deep inner strength are highly malleable.

With high internal strength, one can quickly learn many kung fu moves and reach a very high level in a short time.

“Okay!” Nie Mingxian nodded again, as if he had no desires or wants.

Deng Yong was slightly disappointed. He was hoping that Nie Mingxian would take the initiative to make a request so that Deng Yong could better understand Nie Mingxian's needs.

But such things should not be rushed.

"The second thing is about your stipend, Mingxian. I specifically asked about it, and the hospital doesn't agree to give you any stipend because you're not a PhD from our university or hospital."

"But our department is willing to give you a small subsidy, not much, only a quarter of the undergraduate and doctoral stipends, but it's just a token of our appreciation."

"Consider it payment for clinical work."

Upon hearing this, Nie Mingxian was about to raise his chin again, but Deng Yong immediately changed the subject: "The next issue is the performance-based compensation."

"What I mean is this: the department's public performance is allocated according to a performance coefficient, which is determined according to the hospital's regulations."

"As for the rest, such as the platform fee specifically for the team, I had the finance department plan it out specifically. The arrangement is that whoever is in charge of the project gets 40%!"

"The rest can be allocated to assistants, anesthesiologists, and the operating room. Professor Liu, do you think this is appropriate?"

This was an economic issue, and it directly led to Nie Mingxian not daring to speak at all.

Upon hearing this, Liu Huanglong frowned deliberately: "Professor Deng, you are currently the professor leading the group. Why are you sharing your special surgical fee? Doesn't that make us look too greedy?"

“I don’t think it’s appropriate. Even if it’s the platform fee for us who are in charge, I can only get 30% at most. The rest should go to the group’s public performance bonus.”

"Let Dr. Yuan and the others do as they please."

Performance-based compensation is a right unique to professors leading groups.

Even Yuan Weihong had never come into contact with such high-end things, so when he heard Liu Huanglong's words, Yuan Weihong quickly shook his head vigorously.

“Professor Deng, I agree with Professor Liu’s statement. I can’t ask for such a high price.”

Needless to say, Qin Geluo and Fang Ziye, Deng Yong's words just now probably cut off their own lifeline in order to win people's hearts.

"Alright then!" Deng Yong didn't insist any further.

"Let's arrange it like this for now..."

"Ziye, today is your second-to-last day for the emergency consultation. Remember to do your best on your last shift," Deng Yong instructed.

"Okay." Fang Ziye nodded, casually touching his consultation phone in his pocket, his eyes already preoccupied with the upcoming personalized surgery he would be performing...
