Jie Han started his half clinical rotation on August 24th. Half clinical rotation meant that Jie Han only needed to come to the department for shift handovers and rounds, and record the medical orders for the patients under his care.
For example, changes to medical orders, dressing changes, and writing medical records could all be handed over to Fang Ziye to complete. Jie Han could leave the department directly and return to the library or home to immerse himself in writing and revising his thesis, and adapting it to the publication formats of different journals.
Indeed, the publication formats for different SCI journals varied slightly, and even the citation formats for references differed somewhat.
Of course, although these patients were handed over to Fang Ziye to handle, Fang Ziye now had a follower in the form of junior resident Lan Tianluo. Lan Tianluo had long wanted to try managing patients independently, so Fang Ziye assigned one of the beds to Lan Tianluo to handle.
On August 25th, Wednesday, during Dr. Yuan Weihong's clinic, Yuan Weihong was even more generous. Perhaps wanting to slack off, he directly let Fang Ziye see the last five patients and take responsibility for reviewing the scans of all follow-up patients, honing Fang Ziye's diagnostic skills.
Throughout the process, except for one follow-up patient whose plain film showed heterotopic ossification that was particularly difficult for an ordinary physician to detect - which Fang Ziye missed and was corrected by Yuan Weihong, who recommended surgical treatment - Fang Ziye handled the remaining patients quite competently.
After this day's clinic, Fang Ziye's Knowledge Points suddenly surged to 29, just 21 points away from the 50 needed to upgrade a level 3 skill.
After the clinic ended, Fang Ziye added all his Knowledge Points to the Incision Technique.
After adding the points, the Incision Technique became: [Incision Technique Level 2 30.3/50]
It had been a full half month since the last time he upgraded it to level 2, and excluding the added experience points, it had only increased by 1.3 points.
This was equivalent to an improvement of less than 0.1 per day. At this rate, under normal progress, it would take about two years of practicing in the training room for the Incision Technique to upgrade from level 2 to level 3.
After all, it was less than 0.1 per day.
After adding the points, when Fang Ziye practiced the Incision Technique on tofu, although he still couldn't completely achieve an octahedral pyramid shape, he could now manage an octahedral cut with some effort.
The challenge was in cutting the octahedron into a stepped shape - it looked particularly rough, either not flat enough or inconsistent in depth.
Although this result didn't allow Fang Ziye to reach the final step, it confirmed one thing.
The improvement of skills doesn't necessarily occur only after a level increase, but naturally progresses as proficiency increases.
For example, there would be a certain difference in operational skill between proficiency levels of 2.1/50 and 2.25/50.
In other words, there would be some progress immediately after adding Knowledge Points, rather than having to wait until reaching level 3 for a leap in improvement.
With this evidence, Fang Ziye now consistently added points every day, improving daily and focusing solely on practicing incisions, as if single-mindedly devoted...
As a result, the progress of Fang Ziye's Incision Technique became visibly apparent to Dr. Sun Shaoqing and other senior colleagues. From being able to cut an octahedral shape, he slowly grew to:
Creating a pyramid-stepped sculpture after the octahedron, changing day by day, different every day.
Finally, around 1 PM on September 9th, the day before Teachers' Day, Fang Ziye perfectly cut out the octahedral stepped pyramid shape.
After completing the cut, Lan Tianluo, while helping to take photos, excitedly said to Fang Ziye: "Senior Fang, this, this should qualify as meeting the standard, right?"
Hearing Lan Tianluo's words, Dr. Gu Yi, the PhD senior who had been observing, examined it from various angles and said: "The height difference of the steps doesn't exceed 3mm, the cut surfaces are generally flat without defects, and the surface is smooth. It meets the standard."
"This has already met the standard."
"Little Bear, don't you agree?" Today, the third-year PhD senior wasn't present, and among the medical students in the training room, apart from the third-year PhD student Sun Shaoqing, no one else had passed this level yet.
Li Yuanpei, the third-year master's student, had also gone to participate in a small-scale training camp, equivalent to a one-month leave for intensive training, and hadn't returned yet.
Fang Ziye thought for a moment: "Either way, let's take a photo first. At least it will make my teacher happy."
Senior Gu Yi, with his tall and sturdy build typical of an orthopedic surgeon, standing at 1.9 meters, looked quite intimidating. But at this moment, he was as careful as a child, not daring to touch it too much.
Also unsure, he called over Dr. Qin Geluo, the attending physician who happened to be in the second training room of the trauma surgery department.
"Brother Luo, look at Ziye's incision technique. It meets the standard, right?" Gu Yi asked in a loud voice, but with a forcibly gentle tone.
"This is one of Ziye's Teachers' Day gifts for Brother Wei. I don't dare to confirm it myself."
Qin Geluo just glanced left and right before asking Fang Ziye: "Ziye, why didn't you give gifts like this before? If you had given gifts like this earlier, Brother Wei would probably have taken you for a sauna."
Fang Ziye was about to respond to the first half of the statement, but hearing the latter part, he knew he couldn't reply.
Qin Geluo was five years older than the now 27-year-old Fang Ziye, but still younger than Fang's teacher. Everyone habitually called him Brother Luo: "Brother Luo, so?"
"If we pack this up and send it over, there won't be any misunderstanding, right?"
"Brother Luo, please take another good look. We don't want any mix-ups later." Fang Ziye hadn't actually expected Qin Geluo to help with the assessment.
But since Brother Luo was here, it would be careless not to ask properly.
"This definitely won't cause any misunderstanding. There's no problem with this!" Qin Geluo nodded without hesitation.
"If I were a teacher and my student gave me a gift like this, I'd be happy too."
"Ziye, this gift of yours is quite unique and thoughtful."
Gift-giving is about giving the right thing, not necessarily the most expensive.
As a gift, what the teacher most wants to see is actually more gratifying than sending flowers or wine.
Of course, such gifts are not easy to give.
To pass the training room's standards, even if the master's level is slightly lower than the hospital's super standards, it's still extremely difficult to complete.
Currently, in the entire orthopedics department, only one person has truly gained the opportunity to study through this training room.
That person later left and has now become a 36-year-old professor, doctoral supervisor, and the top hand surgeon under 40...
"Thank you, Brother Luo. Sorry for the trouble."
"In that case, I'll pack this up and go now."
"Brother Yi, see you tomorrow." Fang Ziye bowed slightly with cupped hands, speaking politely.
September 9th is the eve of Teachers' Day, but it's the main day for junior teachers to celebrate Teachers' Day.
His own teacher, not being a professor and having bigger superiors above him, doesn't dare to set his Teachers' Day gathering with students on September 10th.
Because on September 10th, he needs to play a supporting role in toasting at Professor Deng Yong's Teachers' Day dinner, and students like Fang Ziye and Jie Han also need to accompany them...
