Top-tier doctoral supervisor, reborn as a first-year graduate student in standardized residency trai

Someone in the office was drinking water and choked on it when they heard this.

Song Zhe was also stunned for a moment, because this sentence meant that Lin Hanchuan was prepared to personally take Gu Lin to see the wound, change the dressing, and treat the postoperative patient.

No? He didn't get this kind of treatment when he first arrived!

Gu Lin nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Director."

"Okay, take a look at the medical records first."

After speaking, Lin Hanchuan looked at Song Zhe.

"Song Zhe, send him some of the more representative cases from the department."

Suddenly, the system interface popped up.

[Advancing the Surgical Care Development Path]

Current progress: 15%

[Evaluation received: Solid foundation]

[New Task Begins: Complete the Initial Post-operative Dressing Change Assessment]

[Reward: Proficiency in local anatomy of gastrointestinal surgery]

Gu Lin looked at the system interface, his gaze pausing for a moment.

"Proficient in the local anatomy of gastrointestinal surgery?"

This reward is clearly more valuable than the skill of suturing.

Because the most important thing in surgery has never been suturing, but recognizing the structure.

Where are the blood vessels, where are the nerves, and how do the fascia layers work?

Once anatomical relationships are ingrained in your mind, many operations become much simpler.

But this kind of thing often requires countless surgeries to accumulate little by little.

Thinking of this, Gu Lin turned off the system and continued flipping through the medical records.

Song Zhe had already sent over a stack of electronic medical records.

Stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, intestinal obstruction, gastric perforation, acute appendicitis...

It covers almost all the most common diseases in gastrointestinal surgery.

"Let's take a look first."

Song Zhe pulled up a chair and sat down, glancing at Lin Hanchuan furtively before speaking in a low voice.

"The way the director mentors students is relatively simple."

Gu Lin looked up and asked with some confusion.

"How so?"

Song Zhe smiled.

"Work, if you do well, keep working; if you don't, you get scolded."

He shrugged.

"It's that simple."

A few muffled laughs suddenly came from the office, and Gu Lin laughed too.

That makes perfect sense; it really does sound like Lin Hanchuan's style.

Just then, a sound came from the office doorway.

"Doctor, bed number 26 is ready; we can change the dressing now."

Lin Hanchuan put down the medical record.

"Let's go."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Gu Lin.

"Keep up."

Gu Lin got up, and Song Zhe also pushed the medical cart onto it. The three of them walked towards the ward together.

The patient was in good spirits and greeted Lin Hanchuan as soon as he entered.

"Director Lin."

"How are you feeling?"

"Much better."

Lin Hanchuan nodded, drew the curtain, and then reached out to lift the hospital gown, exposing the surgical area.

The incision for laparoscopic surgery is not large, consisting of a few puncture holes and a small incision for taking a specimen.

The wound is healing well; there is no bleeding, no redness or swelling, and no obvious signs of infection.

Lin Hanchuan didn't speak, he just turned to the side.

"Gu Lin, take a look."

Gu Lin stepped forward, put on sterile gloves, then observed the color of the incision and the tension of the surrounding skin, and finally gently touched the edge.

A few seconds later, he looked at Lin Hanchuan.

"The incision is healing well with no obvious signs of infection, and routine dressing changes can be performed."

Lin Hanchuan nodded.

"continue."

Gu Lin added another sentence.

"The patient is recovering well. If the gastrointestinal function recovers smoothly, they should be able to transition to a liquid diet soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man on the hospital bed immediately lit up.

"Doctor, when can I drink porridge?"

Laughter filled the ward, and Gu Lin smiled as well.

"Wait a little longer, it'll only be considered valid after the director gives his approval."

The old man immediately looked at Lin Hanchuan.

Lin Hanchuan's lips curved slightly.

"Let's release the gas first."

The old man: "..."

The process of changing the dressing was not complicated, but Song Zhe was more and more surprised the more he watched.

Because Gu Lin was clearly not dealing with surgical patients for the first time.

Many things are actually hard to fake, such as when observing an incision, assessing tissue tension, or observing the patient's condition.

These details are often habits formed over a long period of clinical practice, and cannot be memorized from books.

After leaving the ward, Song Zhe finally couldn't help but ask a question.

"Did you study surgery before?"

Gu Lin thought for a moment.

"I've read quite a few books."

Song Zhe: "..."

Okay, you're good.

The dressing change was completed at 10:00 AM.

Gu Lin had just returned to his office when the system interface suddenly lit up.

[Initial postoperative dressing change assessment completed]

[Reward Awarded: Proficiency in Regional Anatomy of Gastrointestinal Surgery]

The next second, a flood of anatomical structures rushed into my mind.

Left gastric artery, right gastric artery, gastroepiploic vessels, hepatoduodenal ligament, perigastric lymph node branches...

The relationships between the various levels became incredibly clear in an instant.

Gu Lin gently rubbed his temples. The feeling was strange, like a map he had seen countless times suddenly becoming three-dimensional.

"Depend on!"

Song Zhe's expression turned grim after he finished the phone call.

"Director, Li Bowen has been in a car accident."

"It's quite serious."

After a pause, Song Zhe continued.

"The right hemicolectomy for colon cancer performed this morning."

"Li Bowen is an assistant."

Lin Hanchuan frowned slightly.

Today's surgery is quite significant; the original plan was for the chief surgeon, the first assistant, and the second assistant.

Now the top assistant is gone.

Lin Hanchuan was silent for two seconds, then his gaze suddenly fell on Gu Lin.

Gu Lin raised his head, and then Lin Hanchuan spoke calmly.

"Let Li Bowen get some rest."

"Gu Lin, change your clothes and come with me into the operating room."

The air suddenly became quiet.

Song Zhe: "???"

Resident trainee: "???"

On his very first day, he went straight into the operating room? And with the head doctor?

No, isn't this a bit too big a leap?

Song Zhe held back for two seconds, but still couldn't help but speak.

"Director, this is his first day here."

Lin Hanchuan remained calm.

"so what?"

"Who says you can't go into the operating room on the first day?"

Song Zhe was immediately speechless.

It seems... no one really has a rule about it.

Gu Lin didn't react much.

"Yes, Director."

Lin Hanchuan nodded.

"Meet in room 3 in ten minutes."

After saying that, he turned and left the ward.

The ward remained silent for several seconds until Lin Hanchuan walked away, at which point Song Zhe finally came to his senses.

He looked at Gu Lin with a complicated expression.

"Do you know?"

"When I first started in gastrointestinal surgery, I didn't go into the operating room until the third week."

Gu Lin blinked, smiled, and said nothing.

Song Zhe: "..."

How come this reaction is even calmer than the director's?

Ten minutes later, in the changing room, Gu Lin changed into his surgical gown, put on a cap and mask, and walked into the operating area.

In operating room number three, the shadowless lights were already on, and the operating table was already set up.

The scrub nurse is counting the instruments, and the anesthesiologist is intubating the patient.

The monitor emitted a regular beeping sound, and the familiar smell of disinfectant wafted through the air.

Gu Lin paused slightly, as if the memories of entering the operating room countless times in his previous life were re-overlapping at this moment.

The system interface also refreshed silently.

[First time entering a formal gastrointestinal surgery]

[Phase Quest Begins]
