1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"How is it, can you still run?"

The next morning, Chen Tiezhu, who took Fang Zhiyong out for a run after getting up, asked.

"I can, I can, hold on a little longer." Fang Zhiyong said panting.

"It's almost done, let's walk back. Today is the first day anyway, and I've run nearly a thousand meters." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

Fang Zhiyong grinned and slowed down his pace.

He also knew that it would be difficult for him to hold on even if he wanted to. Compared with Chen Tiezhu, this body is really far behind.

"It's pretty good. I didn't feel any pain today after all the hard work yesterday. But after my training today, you'll be in trouble tomorrow." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Hey..., sometimes the operation takes several hours. I didn't feel anything during the operation, but my body was like falling apart after I came out." Fang Zhiyong sighed.

"I can endure any kind of hardship, as long as you can make my body stronger, so that I can perform surgery on more people and solve the pain problems, I can do it."

Chen Tiezhu nodded, "As a doctor, you must have this mentality. I will make a few sandbags for you later, and tie them to your arms and legs."

"There is no quick way to exercise your body, you can only do it little by little. You must run every morning in the future. You are also a medical student, you know what the benefits are."

Fang Zhiyong nodded.

"And I also think that if you want to increase the speed of surgery, you don't necessarily have to be fast." Chen Tiezhu continued.

"Slow speed does not mean slow work. You can be more precise and reduce mistakes. You can also find new surgical methods, develop new medical devices, etc., which are all helpful for surgery, right?"

"Tiezhu, it's not that easy to say." Fang Zhiyong said with a wry smile.

"The incision you made for Erye is enough for us to study for a few days. It's really great. As for surgical instruments..., it's even more difficult."

"There are very few qualified manufacturers in China. If we want to make improvements on the existing basis, we don't have that much technical reserves."

"How many years have we studied Western medicine? Take Erye's arm injury for example. It was only in recent years that we dared to cut and bleed. In the past, it was at most drainage."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. This is because I don't have money now. When I have money, maybe I will invest in a machinery factory and then specialize in this stuff." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Then I have hope. Anyway, you have the ability, I count on you." Fang Zhiyong was happy.

"Why are you so confident in me?" Chen Tiezhu asked in surprise.

"I don't know." Fang Zhiyong answered very straightforwardly.

Chen Tiezhu was dumbfounded. He didn't expect such an answer.

"I just think you are a capable person. Anyway, that's the feeling. I can't explain it well." Fang Zhiyong said.

"Hey..., I'll give you homework when we get home." Chen Tiezhu sighed.

In the past, he must have been very happy to be valued so much. But after what happened to the second master, he didn't think so.

Because the greater your ability and the more you are valued, the more responsibilities you have to bear accordingly.

Isn't he a young leader now?

After strolling back home, Chen Tiezhu's mood soared again.

"What are you looking at."

Han Xiuying, who was burning the fire, glared at him.

"I never thought that one day, I would be able to eat ready-made meals after returning home." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

Han Xiuying blushed, "Who knows when you will be back? Aren't you worried about Doudou being hungry? I just cooked rice porridge and steamed egg paste, and I don't know what it will look like."

"Hehe, everything is delicious." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

Han Xiuying rolled her eyes at him and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

It should be said that although Han Xiuying is a child from a wealthy family, she is not the kind of person who never touches water.

The rice porridge has less water, what does it matter? It's more practical to eat this way.

The egg paste is a little swollen, so what can it do? Just eat it.

Anyway, Chen Tiezhu ate it with great fragrance, and he poured the remaining egg paste directly into the rice.

The bowl that was eaten, Gou Shengzi had no appetite after seeing it.

You licked it clean, what appetite can you have?

"Hehe, Yingzi's rice is delicious, and it was eaten up accidentally." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

Han Xiuying rolled her eyes at him, "You still have to work out a training plan with Director Fang, don't you? I'll wash the dishes, you guys go do your work."

"Okay, I'll start assigning homework to him now." Chen Tiezhu said like a big boss.

Han Xiuying was too lazy to pay attention to him, so she let him run wild for a while, after all, there were outsiders here..

She didn't notice that she had become the "housewife" without knowing when.

"Director Fang, what surgery do you think is the most troublesome now?" Chen Tiezhu asked with a smile.

"What surgery is the most troublesome? Appendectomy." Fang Zhiyong said.

Chen Tiezhu almost sprained his waist.

After all, he is the chief surgeon of the county hospital, and he is stumped by appendectomy?

"You don't understand it. Although the appendix is ​​usually useless, it is really fatal when it causes trouble." Fang Zhiyong said patiently.

"Some patients come to the hospital for treatment only when their appendix is ​​inflamed and there are signs of suppuration. They need surgery after the examination, right? People at home are still thinking about conservative treatment."

"If we delay like this, it may burst at any time. Even if it doesn't burst, it will easily burst when we cut it open normally because of the serious suppuration."

"Then we have to change to a major operation, otherwise the abdominal cavity will not be cleaned up. Moreover, the appendix is ​​located between the large intestine and the small intestine, but its direction is uncertain, so there are people who stay there."

"Sometimes after we cut it open, we have to search for it with great effort. After finding it, we have to free it, do a purse string suture, and ligate the root of the appendix, so that the appendix can be removed... Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I saw you making excuses for yourself." Chen Tiezhu said with a serious face.

"These are the skills you need to master as a doctor. You can't let them become an excuse for your unsuccessful surgery. Can you expect everyone who comes to see you to have as deep medical knowledge as you do?"

Fang Zhiyong shook his head.

"The direction of the appendix is ​​uncertain, so what about its root? Is it also growing randomly?" Chen Tiezhu asked.

"Can't you reach a more proficient standard through repeated practice for the free and purse-string sutures you mentioned? You only care about speed, but ignore the basics."

Fang Zhiyong frowned and thought seriously about Chen Tiezhu's words.

"I read the anatomy book you brought. This book is so good. You can only be a qualified surgeon if you can really understand this book thoroughly." Chen Tiezhu continued.

"If your foundation is not stable, how can you improve? The higher you improve, the more unstable you will be. In the morning, use small chopsticks to pick up soybeans for fun. After playing for an hour, draw the anatomical diagram of the appendix."

"You don't have to do anything else today, just pick up soybeans and draw anatomical diagrams. I saw you draw well last time, you have to keep it up."

"Thank you, Teacher Chen, I understand."

Fang Zhiyong smiled.

But after he finished speaking, he was stunned.

How come this "teacher" sounds so easy to pronounce?

Does it really feel like my teacher is instructing me?
