Rebirth 10: This Medical Madman is Unreasonable

Chapter 55: Teach a man to fish!

On July 12, after arranging a meeting time with Su Xiheng, Chen Zhuoan washed up and went to the trauma orthopedics ward with his roommates.

Liu Chun and Chen Chunyu are both temporarily following the eight-year program under Associate Professors Dong Anhua and Zeng Tianfang, and this month they also began their ward management work as "new orthopedic surgeons".

However, neither of them had a heavy workload; each of them only had one bed, so they could only get a superficial experience of what it's like to be a clinical resident...

Even so, the two of them still arrived at the office early with great care, taking care of all the details of the beds under their charge in an orderly manner.

Chen Zhuoan went straight into the director's office.

Dong Anhua, in a moment of pre-handover merriment, asked, "Zhuo An...you guys are starting your semi-final training camp today, right?"

Chen Zhuoan nodded: "Yes, Master."

"However, I have already discussed it with the training camp coaches and we have agreed that the other members of our team will continue to participate in the subsequent training camps."

"I have applied to withdraw from the training."

Dong Anhua's raised finger stiffened slightly, and his voice rose three octaves: "You dropped out of training?"

"They were training perfectly fine before, why did they suddenly quit?"

Chen Zhuoan explained with a smile, "Master, the previous training camp was just to get the team working together."

"I'll ask Su Xiheng and the others to give me my notebook for this training camp."

"There are some things that I feel are enough to look at a few times."

Upon hearing this, Dong Anhua remained silent for a long time.

After feeling the heat of the cigarette butt with his right thumb, he shoved it into the ashtray.

"You suddenly dropped out of training before the national competition. What are you planning to do?" Dong Anhua asked Chen Zhuoan.

He was well aware that his student had exceptionally strong thinking and planning skills.

If you want to get things done, you'll find yourself stepping on the wrong foot every time you take a step.

No one was allowed to utter a single word of rebuttal.

"Let's bring tendon suturing techniques into clinical practice first!"

"Come to think of it... twenty-odd days is just enough to accumulate about a hundred clinical cases of data." Chen Zhuoan thought about it seriously.

Currently, tendon suturing techniques are still in the laboratory stage and have not yet entered clinical practice.

The verification of operational techniques must involve a clinical step.

This is its first battle, and Chen Zhuoan is not very comfortable handing it over to others.

Moreover, the tendon suturing technique is only the first step in Chen Zhuoan's plan!

While the original intention of suturing techniques was naturally designed for tendon rupture, its significance goes far beyond tendon suturing.

It was just a tendon suture!

Now, 10 years later, there are already many mature tendon suturing techniques available for clinical application.

"What are your plans?" Dong Anhua asked Chen Zhuoan, unable to find any logical error.

Chen Zhuoan said, "Teacher, I need your help with this!"

"There are many hospitals in Shashi that can treat tendons, but our hospital has too few patients."

Dong Anhua: "You mean, I should shout among my friends and ask them to send us some patients?"

Chen Zhuoan nodded: "Teacher, this is the proper way to do it."

"Regardless of anything else, our hospital is exceptionally good at treating tendons, even in the whole province, so it's not really a burden on patients."

"Similarly, we need clinical cases of other suturing techniques for clinical reference with our team's techniques."

"Based on our estimates, we need to treat around two hundred patients with ruptured tendons using this technique!"

"The follow-up period after surgery should be at least six months."

"These things need to be planned as early as possible."

Chen Zhuoan is very knowledgeable about clinical research; it can be said that he has set the minimum time limit for each step with great precision.

Dong Anhua: "Okay, I can help you."

Chen Zhuoan shook his head: "Teacher, you're not helping me, you're helping our whole team."

"Actually, my main purpose in participating in this project is not to operate it, but to provide guidance."

"I was not the one who clinically developed the technique; it was Associate Professor Zeng Tianfang and Attending Physician Qin Huai."

"We will be including a teaching-related topic in this project."

"Our team's techniques can be taught very quickly!"

"In fact, some of the modules we practiced in the early stages were based on the teaching syllabus for tendon suturing techniques!"

Dong Anhua finally couldn't sit still any longer and stood up abruptly—

"Teaching topic?"

Chen Zhuoan met Dong Anhua's gaze at the same level: "Teacher, haven't you ever questioned the learning curve and cost of our suturing technique?"

"Think about it yourself, how long is the typical learning curve for improving Kessler?"

"How long is the learning period for the Tsushita suture technique and the modified Tang technique?"

"From the time Professor Zeng and his colleagues first encountered our tendon suturing techniques to their current level, how long has it taken?"

Dong Anhua's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.

This isn't anger; it's the green that comes after being crushed.

Dong Anhua had never even considered this direction; he simply thought that the technique was easy to learn.

I never considered that Chen Zhuoan had actually mastered this technique and turned every step of the learning process into a teaching outline!

There is a common understanding across all industries.

Being awesome is a demonstration of your personal ability.

If you can teach people to be exceptionally good, that's the pinnacle of teaching, and that's what makes a true professor.

Otherwise, the professor title is actually an overestimation of your abilities!

In reality, there are countless truly professional and talented people, but who are truly outstanding in teaching?

They're all just makeshift groups in various forms; let's not drag anyone else into this.

"Teacher... if you don't believe me, you can have Luo Yue come over."

Chen Zhuoan looked calmly at Dong Anhua, continuing to plan in his mind.

He must take over and participate in the department's teaching planning as soon as possible so that he can bring the entire department's training system under his control.

Direct intervention would certainly be met with disapproval from others.

But who is Chen Zhuoan? He has plenty of ways to make others accept things helplessly!

It's a horizontal comparison.

My classmates can learn faster than other doctoral and master's students.

Having your own team means you can manage things better than other teams.

Even better, by bringing in interns into your own team, they can improve even faster!

This is a plan for surgical operation teaching, which is the culmination of Chen Zhuoan's painstaking efforts to summarize his teaching experience over 30 years!

It is a form of penetration.

Dong Anhua still remembered: "Luo Yue, the intern you were supervising?"

Chen Zhuoan nodded: "Yes, teacher."

"Luo Yue is a fifth-year student this year. He plans to take the entrance exam for our orthopedics master's program, and you assigned him to me."

"Although I took a break from work in July, I still made arrangements for his teaching."

This is extremely important, even more important than today's surgery!

This is not only about the prognosis of a few patients today, but also about the teaching system and inheritance of Xiangya Hospital's trauma orthopedics department for years or even decades to come!

Dong Anhua immediately made a phone call to Zeng Tianfang: "Today's surgery is scheduled to be postponed by two hours!"

After saying that, Dong Anhua hung up the phone and looked at Chen Zhuoan: "Go and call Luo Yue, let's go to the skills training room together."
