This doctor is already middle-aged, and he's only just started practicing medicine.

Chapter 47 They can handle even the upper limbs.
August 1st, Saturday, the sun was shining brightly, and the morning sun cast fiery glow.

The bright red light bathed all living beings like a curtain, and generously sent its light to the first orthopedic ward of Longxian County.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Peng Kun put down his pen after finishing the handover record book, his expression twitching as he placed his hands behind his head and stretched his whole body.

Upon hearing footsteps, Peng Kun turned around sharply, recognized the person, and sat up straight, speaking formally: "Director Peng."

“I saw Professor Tong yesterday. He came to the countryside, but it’s like he didn’t come at all. He said he spends half his time in the emergency room…” Peng Haibo’s bald patches are quite prominent. He is not fat, but his face is a bit flat overall. However, upon closer inspection, his features are quite regular and even somewhat handsome.

"Director Peng, Brother Shan already told me that Professor Tong was brought over by Professor Chen Song from the emergency department, and he came here specifically to see Lu Cheng." Peng Kun's eyelids widened slightly, and he licked his lips with his tongue.

Her tone became conflicted: "This Lu Cheng? Why didn't he go out and make a good career for himself? Why did he have to come to our hospital and cause all this trouble?"

Director Peng is indeed Director Peng, but he is also Peng Kun's father, so Peng Kun can vent his resentment as appropriate.

Lu Cheng didn't get a chance to use his hands in the orthopedics department, so he remained just an ordinary person.

However, after Lu Cheng applied for a transfer to the emergency department, he had only been working with Professor Chen Song for a month when his true colors were already exposed!
He is not someone who can stay idle, nor is he someone who looks ordinary.

Just as Peng Haibo had long believed, if Lu Cheng had the same opportunity, Peng Kun would be overwhelmed by Lu Cheng if he didn't find a way to overcome it.

That's why Peng Haibo sent himself to graduate school, but even with a higher degree, it still couldn't correct the 'root cause'...

Peng Haibo stepped forward and patted Peng Kun on the shoulder: "Do you think Lu Cheng doesn't want to go out?"

"The fact that he's been neglected in the department for the past few years hasn't dampened his enthusiasm for learning. How could he not want to leave? The main thing is that I never thought he was that kind of weirdo at first."

At this point, Peng Haibo took a deep breath and said, "Don't have any other thoughts. There's nothing you can do when you encounter someone like this. Just accept that he's a good person."

"Anything in excess is as bad as deficiency. Since he has made a breakthrough and established himself, let him pass and, if the opportunity arises, cultivate a good relationship with him."

“Moreover, the path Lu Cheng is currently taking is also suitable for you to follow.” After Peng Haibo finished speaking, he led Peng Kun to the director’s office.

The director's office was his private domain. Although the relationship between the other senior members was quite distant, they didn't dare to go too far in the department and barge into the director's office.

Having connections means you can enjoy preferential treatment when getting promoted or hired, but that doesn't mean you can be arrogant and domineering in a hospital.

"Director Peng, do you mean I should study hand surgery and then find an opportunity to overtake others?" Peng Kun asked Peng Haibo.

"Otherwise, if you pursue trauma, sports medicine, or spinal surgery, can you avoid those experts?"

“How many lead surgeon opportunities can I give you? When I give you these opportunities privately, if there’s even the slightest mistake, these people will argue with me directly…” Peng Haibo said.

"If they're in your way and their skills are better than yours, you just can't get around them."

"So you can only take a path that no one else can take. With your learning ability, you can achieve a leapfrog development and turn surgical diseases into routine orthopedic diseases. That way, when you are promoted to director in the future, no one will have any objections."

“In our county hospital, whether it’s the leaders or the higher-level leaders, they all prefer to see business expansion. Otherwise, you can just go to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital; the technology there is perfectly fine,” Peng Haibo analyzed in detail.

"My arrangement for you is that from now on you will follow Professor Tong Haibo closely. Whatever he does, you will do; whatever he asks you to do, you will do..."

“When you are pursuing your master’s degree, Xiangya No. 2 Hospital cannot design a special disease course for you from beginner to advanced levels, but Professor Tong Haibo can do that during his trip to the countryside.”

Peng Kun is a master's student, but the types of diseases treated in the sports medicine department of Xiangya No. 2 Hospital will not change because of him. The level of surgery is too high and the difficulty is too great. Peng Kun can only broaden his horizons, hone his basic skills, and learn about the routine diagnosis and treatment of some rare diseases...

Even the director of sports medicine at the state hospital wouldn't dare say he could perform those kinds of complex surgeries, such as rotator cuff repair or giant rotator cuff surgery.

Peng Kun lowered his head: "That's the only way."

Peng Kun knew that the reason his father had arranged for him to follow Tong Yuan'an for a long time, without the other older brothers objecting, was primarily due to his learning ability and educational background. Education is certainly useful; it can provide opportunities and a stepping stone. However, whether those opportunities and stepping stones can correct fundamental problems depends on one's own fate.

If you lack the necessary qualities, academic qualifications are useless.

……

On August 1st, at 8:20 AM, the surgical team of the general ward of the emergency department of Longxian People's Hospital.

Lin Qianlong clapped his hands and said, "It's the beginning of the month, so let's have a shift handover."

"Here, I'd like to announce two things. The first is a change in the work schedule."

“I still feel that last month’s schedule was not very scientific, so this month, all of Lu Cheng’s shifts will be canceled and replaced with shifts for assistants and second-line shifts.”

"The others take turns working ward shifts, clinic shifts, and surgical standby shifts."

"What does it mean for Lu Cheng to be Professor Chen Song's follower? It means that Lu Cheng is always with Professor Chen Song, and Professor Chen Song determines which surgeries he needs to perform and which he needs to rest. It's still a system of working every other day, so that Professor Chen Song's rest time can be fully guaranteed..."

"So what is Lu Cheng's second shift? It means that for surgeries that Lu Cheng can perform himself, such as appendectomy, cholecystectomy, and tendon suturing, Lu Cheng is ready to take over at any time, 24 hours a day."

"We may need to start broadcasting at any time; these two shifts operate in parallel."

"Zeng Huanqi, Zhang Tiesheng, Han Xiaoping, do you have any objections to this?" Lin Qianlong looked at Zeng Huanqi and the others.

Zhang Tiesheng smiled as if photoshopped, and said very kindly, "Director Lin, Xiao Lu is already working so hard, and he still has to participate in regular shifts. That just shows how inconsiderate we are."

"If Xiao Lu were in a company, he'd be the top salesperson!"

Zeng Huanqi was tall and stout, with a distinctive dark complexion that made his large white teeth stand out when he smiled. He was quite quick-witted at the moment: "Director Lin, may I offer a suggestion..."

“I think it would be too tiring for Xiao Lu if the clinic had routine illnesses 24 hours a day. So for minor illnesses like appendicitis or gallstones, Zeng Huanqi and I would be the ones to handle them.”

"The tendon injury and the splenectomy will be handled by Xiao Lu."

"After all, Xiao Lu has to be responsible for all the upper limb tendon injury surgeries by himself, and he also has to learn other surgeries from Professor Chen. If he is too tired, it will affect his efficiency."

After hearing this, Lin Qianlong nodded slightly and looked at Lu Cheng: "Little Lu, can you really handle all the tendons in the upper limbs? This is different from what you told us before."

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Lu Cheng remained unfazed and humble: "Director Lin, I will consult with Professor Chen and Professor Tong from the Department of Orthopedics. If they say I can do it, then I will. Currently, Professor Tong has also approved of this matter."

"We haven't done tendon suturing in Zone 2 yet, but it should be fine. We just need to explain the key parts to the patient and their family during the consultation and signing process, and let them make their own choices."

It's kind of comforting to hear people say things like that.

Since Tong Yuan'an had approved of it, Lin Qianlong naturally had no doubts. Suppressing his shock, he encouraged him, "Do a good job!"

“A top student is a top student, and this moment has made it all real.”

Lin Qianlong chuckled and clapped his hands again:
"Alright, that concludes the shift handover. Everyone else, take your positions..."

After Lin Qianlong finished speaking, he saw Chen Song, immediately went up to him with a fawning smile, his small eyes narrowed into slits: "Professor Chen, didn't you say you were taking the day off today?"

"Well, I'm on leave, but Tong Yuan'an just happened to be at work, right? I'll wait for him to get off work and then come over to hang out..."
