Chapter 1056: Chapter 866: Winner in Life_2

At the General Surgery Department of Sanbo Hospital, Director Fang, who had only recently brought cherries to the Surgical Research Institute, was now able to launch an abdominal organ cluster transplant. Previously, such surgery was unthinkable at the General Surgery Department of Sanbo Hospital.

These directors, like those from the Thoracic Surgery and Urology Departments, wanted to go talk to Director Fang.

"Old Fang, did you play all last night? What’s going on? I heard you performed an abdominal organ cluster transplant?"

Director Fang waved his hand with a master’s poise, "It was my first time too. This type of surgery is rarely performed in domestic hospitals. There’s no prior experience to draw from. I was just winging it. The technique isn’t mature; it’s quite a challenge."

This display left the other directors dumbfounded.

"Old Fang! That’s not right. You perform such a major surgery and you don’t even tell us?"

"Well, it wasn’t much really, I just wanted to try it out."

"The surgery went smoothly, right?"

"Very smoothly, though it took a little long, almost 12 hours in total."

"12 hours is actually quite fast. I heard some hospital took 18 hours to complete it."

Director Fang feigned ignorance, "Oh really? I hadn’t paid much attention."

Now, Old Fang’s entire demeanor was different, walking with a notably puffed chest and a very straight spine.

"You should have the hospital’s Publicity Department contact the media to give this surgery good coverage."

"It’s not much of an issue, keep it low-key."

"Xiao Chen, make sure to collect and organize the data. We’ll get a few papers out of this. You go talk to the Publicity Department; find a high-end media outlet to do some publicity."

Doctor Chen was just looking for Director Fang to ask for instructions when he slipped into the operating room. Director Fang immediately gave him directives.

"Old Fang, you have to treat us after such a big surgery, right?"

"Of course, of course, let’s find a time to have a good drink."

Director Fang was particularly happy now, never having felt so comfortable before; he felt like a winner in life at that moment.

Doctor Chen had been scolded by Director Fang last time regarding his straight Ph.D. program because the direct Ph.D. slots at Nandu Medical University weren’t plentiful and Chen’s performance wasn’t particularly outstanding. So, if Chen wanted to switch to a direct Ph.D., Director Fang would still need to pull some strings at the university, a bit of a hassle he wasn’t too keen on dealing with, preferring that Chen took the exams for the Ph.D.

Falling in step behind Director Fang, and finding the right moment, Chen then spoke, "Director Fang, I still need your help with my direct Ph.D."

Director Fang responded cheerfully, "Xiao Chen, wanting to do a direct Ph.D. is simple. I’ll help you fight for it at the university. Be mindful about the paper and getting in touch with the Publicity Department."

Not expecting the mentor to agree so readily, Doctor Chen promptly assured, "Rest assured, Director Fang, I’ve got this covered."

Pan Doudou, having completed the surgery, was sent to the ICU for observation for a few days. The risks of this surgery were still very high, especially the small intestine transplant. The small intestine is virtually a bacterial library of the human body. Normally, these bacteria maintain a balance that benefits the body, but once displaced or if their balance is disrupted, they can cause serious infections and threaten the patient’s life.

Although Pan Doudou’s company was small, it had a good cultural atmosphere. The company had actually sent someone to wait outside the operating room to inquire about his condition from the doctors.

To show appreciation to the visiting doctors, Director Fang even made a special trip to the viewing room to greet everyone, like a star visiting his fans. He also told everyone, "Thanks for your hard work, I’ll treat you to dinner too."

The entire viewing room erupted in enthusiastic applause—what a winner in life! At that moment, Director Fang felt as if he were floating on air, walking a bit giddily.

This surgery required reporting to the Medical Services Office. When Director Zhao from the Medical Services Office heard that the surgery had been completed, he also came to the operating room to take a look. Director Zhao thought to himself that Fang Nansheng was now making a name for himself by undertaking such a major surgery. He casually checked the data and found that few hospitals in the country could carry out this surgery.

Directors Li and Liu from the Tracheal Transplant Center rushed over when they heard the news. The General Surgery Department had actually taken the lead. The Organ Transplant Center was currently only performing liver and kidney transplants, and now Director Fang had actually started multiple organ cluster transplants in the abdominal cavity.

After staying up all night with Director Fang, Yang Ping didn’t have much energy for surgery. He called Song Zimo to ask if there was anything special about the surgery there and whether he needed to step in.

Song Zimo said, "You go rest. There’s nothing much here."

In fact, like Director Fang, who led the surgery, much could be learned. This was the fastest way to grow because, despite being led through the surgery, you were still the chief surgeon. He genuinely experienced the entire surgery process as a chief surgeon, which was completely different from being an assistant. If he could be led like this a few times, he would soon be able to master the surgery proficiently.

Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang had also been led in a similar way, hadn’t they? Otherwise, how could they have progressed so fast? Surgery is a practical science—the more you do, the more skilled you become.

Yang Ping decided to still go to the operating room to take a look, just to have peace of mind. After checking in, he would go to the duty room for a nap.

Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang were performing surgeries with their respective teams while Doctor Li Min was temporarily observing from below.

Doctor Li Min was making rapid progress. He could already skillfully draw anatomical diagrams. Although the drawings were quite simple and rough, it didn’t matter. Being able to draw them meant that he had mastered anatomical knowledge.

Next, Yang Ping planned to take him to Nandu Medical University’s anatomy department to dissect a cadaver. The number of cadavers at each medical university was limited, and it was generally impossible for students to have the opportunity to dissect a complete body. They could only watch with a teacher.

Once Li Min could proficiently draw anatomical maps and then had the chance to dissect a cadaver, his anatomical knowledge would be considered adequate.

Lately, Yang Ping let him draw some surgical maps, expressing each step of the surgery through drawing.

In this process, Yang Ping would systematically teach him some knowledge about reading films, such as X-rays, CT, and MRI, and he would also teach him some basic techniques for taking films.

Li Min’s basic skills training also continued daily in the training room. Most of the time, Yang Ping personally guided his basic training, while occasionally, Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang would teach him. From knotting, cutting, incision, suturing, to separation, each basic skill was rigorously trained.

Li Ming took his training very seriously, meticulously attending to every detail. He greatly cherished this learning opportunity.

He knew that if it wasn’t for organizational efforts, as a doctor from a primary-level hospital, it would not have been possible for him to come to such a provincial hospital for further study, let alone have Professor Yang personally mentor him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, while looking at the films on the viewing light, Yang Ping taught Li Min how to read films. Yang Ping’s training of Doctor Li Min was not piecemeal or casual. Instead, based on Li Min’s situation, Yang Ping organized a training outline and methodology, ensuring a tailored educational approach.

Having mastered systematic anatomy, regional anatomy, and sectional anatomy, Li Min found it much easier to follow when Yang Ping explained film reading; it was no longer as difficult as when he first arrived.

While explaining how to read films, Yang Ping would intersperse some knowledge of physiology, pathology, and pathophysiology, helping Li Min to not only understand the how but also the why, enabling him to accumulate experience in his future work.

Doctor Li Min took notes in a notebook. He marked the points he didn’t understand with a red pen. Yang Ping required him to understand each point thoroughly, leaving no doubts or gaps in knowledge, as they would accumulate over time.

After this period of training, Yang Ping felt it was time to let him experience being on stage, as he had practiced the basic skills of hand washing and dressing countless times.

’’Li Min, go scrub in and follow along on the stage,"

Yang Ping instructed Li Min, who was thrilled to finally be able to participate directly in the surgery.

Having mastered three hundred Tang poems, one can chant without reciting them. Surgery is similar—after continuously mixing with these masters, naturally, one eventually learns how to perform surgeries.

At the primary-level hospitals, the General Surgery and Trauma Surgery are often more frequently conducted while other surgeries are relatively rare.

Thus, Yang Ping called Director Fang, telling him he had a visiting doctor from a primary level hospital, recommended by a very good friend, and hoped he could follow in some General Surgery. Then he called Director Tan to arrange for Li Min to follow the surgeries at the Trauma Emergency Center.

After making these arrangements, Yang Ping went back to his department to catch up on some sleep in the duty room.
