The road to the rise of great doctors

Chapter 79

On Saturday, Liu Dong got up early, went downstairs, bought a steamed meat bun and a bag of soy milk at the breakfast stand at the intersection, and walked towards the hospital for family members while eating.

The Family Hospital of the Medical College Affiliated Hospital is just north of the hospital and adjacent to the hospital. There is usually a door open for entry and exit with a card.

On weekends, the door between the hospital and the family home is locked.

The other door of the family courtyard opens to the east, not far from the community where Liu Dong's family is located.The hospital's family compound is a closed and managed community. There are guards at the entrance, but they are mainly for vehicles. The management of pedestrians is not very strict, but people who are not familiar with it can still scare people when they see the guards.

When Liu Dong finished breakfast, he had just walked to the door of the family courtyard.He held the plastic bag in his hand, held his head high, walked in like no one else, and then threw the bag in the trash can among the other garbage.He may have a good sense of his medical temperament, and he was not blocked or questioned by security guards when he entered the community.

Why did he come to the family home of the hospital so early?This starts with a message at noon yesterday.

At noon yesterday, Liu Dong finished his work in the ward and went to the hospital cafeteria for dinner.While he was eating, he received a message on his phone. He picked it up and looked at it. It said, "Xiao Liu, are you free tomorrow?"

The message came from Li Jing. After Liu Dong saw it, he immediately put down his chopsticks and typed a reply, "Teacher Li, I am free tomorrow. What can I do for you?"

"Tomorrow at seven o'clock in the morning, come and wait for me in Building 3 of the Family Hospital, and go out with me for a consultation."

"Okay. Are there any precautions?"

"It's nothing special. Just follow me there. You don't need to bring anything. I remember you can drive, right?"

"Yes, I can drive."

"Okay, let's meet and talk. Come on time, the time is tight."

"Okay, I'll make sure to be on time, don't worry. See you tomorrow morning."

After Liu Dong sent this message, he did not receive a reply.

"Out for consultation?! This must be a 'flying knife'!"

Liu Dong put down his phone, and suddenly felt that the steamed buns in front of him were no longer delicious, and his heart was beating very fast.He knew that his heart rate was definitely too fast, but he couldn't hide his inner excitement.Since entering the clinic, I have always heard about it, but this is the first time I have really encountered it.The city where the medical school is located is the regional center of several surrounding provinces.The Affiliated Hospital of the Medical College is also a well-deserved "leader" in several surrounding provinces.Whether it is a prefecture-level city hospital in the province, a county-level city hospital, or even several hospitals in neighboring provinces, this is the first choice place for further training.Every year, each medical group always has 1-2 foreign doctors coming to study.

After returning from further training, when encountering complex surgeries or surgeries that have not been carried out by local hospitals and wanting to seek consultation, the first thing that comes to mind are the experts in the further training department.It's not in vain to learn the skills once. It doesn't matter whether you have mastered the skills or not. It's easy to tell who is good and who is a talker.Some trainee doctors feel that their surgical skills cannot improve much as they get older, so they may become "liaisons" between higher-level and lower-level hospitals, making a living by asking for consultations. Some have become bigger, even in the local area. Very respectable and delicious
Therefore, even if there are some young and middle-aged experts from the Medical College Affiliated Hospital, as long as they have a certain skill, they will be invited.

Of course, it also depends on the wishes of the patient and family members, as to which expert to hire and what type of surgery to perform. These are all very particular.Ordinary patients and their family members will still have many difficulties if they do not greet the doctor in charge of the hospital after being hospitalized and directly want to ask a specialist to go to a local hospital for surgery, but the doctors on both sides have not contacted each other.

Li Jing and Liu Dong knew it very well, but the doctors who were training knew it better.In addition to being very good at scientific research, he is also very good at surgery under the guidance of Chief Physician Yang Boxue.Horizontal comparison within the province is also very useful.Therefore, prefecture-level city hospitals also began to invite him for consultation.Cooperation between hospitals and departments is also gradually increasing.

This morning, Liu Dong got up early. He was holding back his energy and wanted to see what this legendary consultation was like!I also want to learn more from it. A 4-week internship is still too short for those who plan to make this a major.

At 06:30, Liu Dong arrived at the agreed place.

At [-]:[-], Li Jing also appeared downstairs at No. [-]. After seeing Liu Dong, he threw a car key to him, pointed to an old car in the parking space next to him, and asked, "Would you like to drive this car?" Have you passed?"

Liu Dong took a look, and by coincidence, this was the coach car he used when he was learning to get his driver's license, and it had the blessing of driving (LV2) skills. Anyone who had never driven before could get started, let alone this one who was familiar with it.What surprised him was that instructor Li Jing already had a senior professional title. He didn't expect that he would still drive such an old car.

He hurriedly said, "I can drive it. This is the one I first learned to drive. Don't worry."

Liu Dong and Li Jing walked to the car together, then opened the door with the key and got in.He first adjusted the seat to make it more comfortable, then looked at the rearview mirror and other mirrors, fine-tuned it to the angle he was used to, and then put on the seat belt.

Li Jing looked at his actions and felt half relieved.Then he said, "Go to Kangle City Hospital. There was a meeting that opened very late last night. I didn't plan to go to the consultation, but I had promised them a long time ago and the patients have been arranged. There is no way to turn it down. So, I'm sorry to bother you. Come with me on the weekend."

After hearing this, Liu Dong hurriedly said, "Teacher, I had nothing to do on the weekend. I had a chance to study. You thought of me, and I am happy."

Then, he said, "Then I'll navigate there. You didn't get much rest last night, so just take a nap for a while and I'll call you when we get there."

"Okay, drive faster. I'll take a nap for a while, call me if you need anything." Li Jing said a few words, and then closed his eyes to recharge his energy for the next operation.Under normal circumstances, surgeons drive or take taxis, high-speed trains, planes, etc. to go for consultations. Moreover, hospitals, departments, and doctors who are not familiar with them will perform the entire process from the first cut to the suture.Only if you go there often and become familiar with it, can you ask local doctors to share part of the burden.

Doing it yourself means controlling all risks in your own hands, and ensuring to the greatest extent that patients undergoing consultation surgery will not have any accidents.

You know, sometimes, when suturing muscles, some people will pin the needles in the muscles so that they cannot be found, and they have to use an orthopedic X-ray machine to position them.When going out for consultation, the surgeon personally bears most of the risks. He must do it beautifully so as not to leave any "tails"!
