Path Of Medicine With A System 131 Zhang Fan Shamelessly Takes All Surgeries!

Zhang Fan thought for quite a long while about Lu Shuyan's words. Zhang Fan was no longer a student who had just recently entered society. He had already experienced how cruel society could be back in college. His past two years of working at hospitals made him experience even more about the complexities of human social relations.h.i.+ps.

The Chinese medical field was such that your coworkers both competed and cooperated with you. Although there was compet.i.tion, there would be slightly more cooperation. Although those with the best medical skills would be kings, if you didn't have a good relations.h.i.+p with your coworkers, you would become isolated, which would be quite troublesome. It was impossible to perform surgery all by yourself. That would be just like a character in a novel!

"I'll just take things slowly!" Zhang Fan heaved a big sigh. He had wanted to return to his apartment and study, but now he was no longer in the mood to do so. He instead decided to go and practice performing more surgeries in his System, letting fatigue chase away all these bothersome issues.

The urology department was nicknamed the "gutter" department by the other doctors. It was common for the urology department to receive many emergency treatment patients. Many of the urologists would refuse to eat animal kidneys.

"If I eat animal kidneys, I'll remember the kidneys I had to remove during surgery. That's why I've never eaten animal kidneys again ever since I joined the urology department! Especially the bigger kidneys that are barbequed and still have some blood, I absolutely can't stand them! They way they look on the metal skewers makes me feel like I'm trying to eat the kidneys I removed during surgery! It's impossible for me to eat them!" Heimduller told Zhang Fan.

In the urology department, the current most major type of surgery would be kidney transplant surgery, but since Chasu City Hospital's urologists didn't have enough skill for this major type of surgery, kidney transplants would typically be performed by inviting expert doctors from bigger cities. Also, there were very few kidney donors here in the border province. It was common for there to be zero donors for several years in a row. Additionally, the urologists here didn't know how to do postoperative care for kidney transplant patients. The most important reason was because kidney transplant surgeries were far too rare here. Director Li also had no interest in developing this field, so the urology department of Chasu City Hospital remained as just an ordinary department.

Zhang Fan made up his mind that he absolutely wouldn't request to be a.s.signed to the urology department in the future. He understood that a public hospital's development partially depended on how much the government supported it, along with the superintendent's talent. If the hospital was run by a mediocre superintendent who only cared about personal profit, such as Superintendent Zou of Kuake City Hospital, the hospital's overall medical level would rapidly decrease over just a few years, with the example being how many doctors at Kuake City Hospital had resigned already due to Superintendent Zou's corruption and mismanagement.

It would be the same for a hospital department. The superintendent was in charge of everything overall, but the director would be responsible for the detailed day-to-day operations of the department. If the department director had no interest in development, the entire department's development potential would be throttled by the director. The only possible exception would be if a person with more medical skills than the director appeared. However, in real life, such situations would be incredibly rare, and with Li Jianguo's incredibly cautious personality, it was unlikely that he would ever develop the urology department very much during his reign as department director.

Zhang Fan's current goal was to grind as many surgeries as possible. This way, even if his System suddenly disappeared one day, he would still possess the skills he learned from his System. Zhang Fan was the type who didn't dare to only rely on his System. He was paranoid that it might disappear on him one day, just like how it had suddenly appeared. He felt that only improving his personal skills would be the most reliable choice.

"Include Zhang Fan when calculating this month's bonuses. For his allotment, give him as much as an attending physician," Director Li specially told the head nurse of the urology department after the previous nephrectomy surgery. The head nurse was really surprised to hear this, but she had no objections. That was because the director was still in charge of deciding matters like the department bonuses.

Li Jianguo also intended to share the other departmental kickbacks with Zhang Fan. This was his way of paying back Zhang Fan for the latter's excellent, precise, and timely movements during the nephrectomy. Not only had Zhang Fan saved the patient's life, he also managed to prevent Li Jianguo's reputation from being ruined.

A surgeon would be just like a martial arts cultivator. You couldn't allow your cultivation to be broken even once. If you lost even once, all of your previous accomplishments would be useless, especially in smaller and more rural locations. People wouldn't remember your past achievements. They would only say things such as "Li Jianguo is so unskilled. He killed a patient on his operating table! That was such a pitiful scene! Li Jianguo doesn't even know how to see an artery, and just cut without even looking, killing his patient!".

Real examples of such things were really commonplace! That was why Li Jianguo was especially grateful to Zhang Fan. Although Li Jianguo didn't say anything to Zhang Fan, he really was grateful in his heart. That was why he decided to repay Zhang Fan in this manner by using money.

Shao Hua and Jingshu spent two entire days having fun in Bayinbrook Gra.s.slands. They took countless pictures. Jingshu was just like her older brother in that she had zero experience riding horses. That was why she especially took many pictures of herself riding horses on the gra.s.slands. Jingshu's smile was especially brilliant. She had successfully been accepted by Shanghai University. She had no pressure right now, which was why she could truly enjoy herself, and with her older brother financially supporting her, she didn't have to consider things such as asking her teacher to allow her to wear an old school uniform instead of purchasing a new school uniform.

For Zhang Fan's final 10 days in the urology department, he behaved truly shamelessly. No matter if it was an emergency surgery or not, he would partic.i.p.ate in every single one. He didn't care any more since he only had 10 days left in this department. It wasn't like the other urologists could say anything to him about it. Since Heimduller had a much closer relations.h.i.+p to Zhang Fan ever since the nephrectomy incident, Heimduller simply gave all of his surgeries over to Zhang Fan.

Heimduller did find all of this rather strange. "Is something wrong with that Zhang Fan? Why is he so obsessed with performing surgeries? He's already partic.i.p.ated in 80% of our department's total surgeries this month, and he's even the primary surgeon for 50% of the total surgeries. Doesn't he get tired from working so much?"

Still, Heimduller was quite happy to have no work to do, with Zhang Fan doing all of his work for him. Heimduller spent his newfound free time simply chatting with other doctors in the department.

"Love for one's work is the best teacher. When you were a rotation doctor, you didn't even know how to sew slightly more complex sutures. Zhang Fan is already capable of being a team leader as a rotation doctor. That's the difference between you two." Li Jianguo just happened to walk in and hear Heimduller's comment about Zhang Fan, and took this opportunity to lecture Heimduller! Li Jianguo had been bullying Heimduller quite a bit over the past few days. Heimduller was now like a mouse who saw a cat whenever he saw Director Li.

10 days later, it was now time for Zhang Fan to leave the urology department. Li Jianguo especially hosted a departmental farewell party for him. After one month in the urology department, the doctors here had rejected him, then accepted him, and then felt helpless about his workaholism. He had truly left the urology department with a deep impression. Now that Zhang Fan was leaving, the attending physicians came to an agreement amongst themselves that they would definitely make him drunk at this party!

Lu Shuyan had also left the urology department with an excellent impression. She had been the primary surgical a.s.sistant for the majority of Zhang Fan's ridiculous number of surgeries. The doctors could only sigh and exclaim, "Youngsters these days are so talented!"

It was quite easy for the attending physicians to make Zhang Fan drunk. He became completely drunk after just three gla.s.ses of white wine! The attending physicians felt zero sense of accomplishment from this! This dinner party was evidence of his friends.h.i.+p with the urology department!

w.a.n.g Qian also returned from her vacation at this time. Zhang Fan, Shao Hua, and Zhang Jingshu all went to visit her to give their thanks.

When w.a.n.g Qian learned about Jingshu's high score on the college entrance examination, she was so surprised that her mouth was wide agape. "You siblings are truly so excellent. One's more amazing than the other. I'd really like to know how your parents raised you to be so amazing and excellent."

"Haha, there's not much to learn about, Sister w.a.n.g. I was raised quite simply. If I didn't listen, my father would beat me with a leather belt. It was impossible for me to run away. But, my younger sister received much better treatment. My father didn't touch even a finger on her. I even wondered if I really was his son," Zhang Fan joked with w.a.n.g Qian.

"That's right. Boys need to be raised more strictly. Otherwise, they're far too naughty. Sigh, I'd be happy if my son was half as excellent as the two of you! I went out on vacation this time because he angered me so much!"

"It's fine, he's just a teenager. He'll mature as he grows older! Actually, I was quite disobedient when I was younger as well. I got into plenty of fights and would often play hooky. Only when I was older did I understand my parents' hards.h.i.+ps in raising me!" Zhang Fan tried to console w.a.n.g Qian.

w.a.n.g Qian wasn't actually counting on Zhang Fan to help give her ideas on parenting. She was simply venting. If Zhang Fan had taken things seriously and really tried to give her parenting ideas, he would have been rather silly. As the old saying went, "The best son is always one's own son." There was nothing wrong with this phrase at all. While a person could complain about their own son all they wanted, anyone else who said negative things about their son would receive instant backlash, unless they were a true friend!
