Is there no limit to this doctor's skills?

Chapter 68 Director Zhou Yong

Basic Surgical Procedures: Debridement (80% proficiency); Hemostasis (5% proficiency); Incision (0% proficiency); Suturing (3% proficiency)...

Guo Ziyuan glanced at his panel!

Compared to the previous few days, the improvement is certainly significant, but the basic skills of hemostasis, incision, and suturing have not undergone fundamental changes.

It will take time for me to reach the level of Professor Long back then!

However, Guo Ziyuan was not in a hurry.

Being a doctor is a lifelong career, and so is learning medical skills.

……

October 1st, National Day.

While others are on holiday, Guo Ziyuan is only in a semi-holiday state.

After shamelessly working a morning shift with Liu Chuntao, Guo Ziyuan was then forced by Ding Xianqi to entertain guests.

Ding Xianqi rode his electric scooter with Guo Ziyuan on the back, introducing him to Guo Ziyuan: "Director Du Xianjin of the Emergency Surgery Department was my teacher back then, and we have a good relationship. He's a very good elder."

"We are going to meet with Director Zhou Yong of Yicheng Central Hospital. Director Zhou happens to be in Wuhan on business."

In the back seat, Guo Ziyuan's expression was somewhat strange.

When Guo Ziyuan went to work at Yilan Central Hospital and grew to the point where he needed to interact with the emergency department, the emergency department director he was "familiar" with was Director Cai Xiongxue, who was already around thirty years old at the time.

The current Director Zhou Yong was removed from his post in 18 or 19 due to medical corruption...

Therefore, Guo Ziyuan really didn't have much of an impression of this Director Zhou Yong.

Since I don't have any impression of it, I'll just be a sensible tool.

Upon arriving at the advisor's house, Guo Ziyuan politely performed the student etiquette, leaving all other matters to the advisor and teacher Ding Xianqi.

Director Zhou Yong of Yichang Central Hospital came specifically to see Director Du of the Emergency Department, who said he would take him to meet the senior doctors at the Provincial People's Hospital.

Director Zhou Yong was both extremely humbled and exceptionally polite.

With broad cheekbones beneath a receding hairline, and his Adam's apple hidden by his thick neck when he smiled: "Professor Huang, we are very happy to welcome Xiao Guo to our hospital for training."

"I'm afraid our practices aren't very proper, and we might not be able to properly mentor the excellent students from the Provincial People's Hospital," Director Zhou Yong said very politely.

Huang Zhao crossed his legs and said, "Little Guo is a mischievous kid, tough as nails, easy to raise."

"Once you get to Director Zhou, you'll naturally follow his orders. He can beat or scold you as he pleases, and no one will dare to utter a sound."

Ding Xianqi also stated, "Yes, Director Zhou, you just need to take care of the training then!"

Zhou Yong didn't take it seriously, and slapped his thigh with a smile: "Beating and scolding are too exaggerated. Dr. Guo is recommended by Professor Huang, Professor Ding and Professor Du, so of course he is a sensible and promising talent."

"But I have some concerns that I need to make clear to the professors in advance."

"Our hospital currently lacks specialized training programs and dedicated practice rooms. The surgeries we perform are mostly minor, and we primarily rely on referrals for most emergency patients..."

"I'm worried that Xiao Guo won't be able to adapt well after he goes down there..."

Guo Ziyuan replied with a smile, "Director Zhou, don't worry about that. The first lesson I learned from my teacher and advisor was about rules and etiquette."

"Don't talk too much, don't do too much."

"Besides, I am also from Yilan City and I know the local customs. I just hope that Teacher Zhou can give me a chance."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yong's eyes lit up: "Xiao Guo is also from Yishi?"

Guo Ziyuan replied, "Yes, Director Zhou, I'm from Lianghekou, Zigui County."

"I know, Zigui, the hometown of Qu Yuan." Zhou Yong was familiar with the counties under Yichang City.

At that moment, Du Xianjin from the emergency department received a phone call. He glanced at it, and his expression changed slightly.

Hearing the sound, he stood up and said, "Okay, I'll be right there."

Upon seeing this, Ding Xianqi immediately said, "Director Du, let me take you there. I came by bike."

Du Xianjin quickly apologized, "No need, Professor Ding, I also came by bike."

"Three emergency cases have arrived at the department, I have to go!"

"Teacher Huang, excuse me for a moment..."

The National Day holiday doesn't mean the hospital is closed, the emergency room is closed, or even the underworld is closed.

Du Xianjin explained as he hurriedly left.

In the room, only Guo Ziyuan, Zhou Yong, and Huang Zhao remained.

Zhou Yong had never met Guo Ziyuan and Huang Zhao before, and even as the director of a prefecture-level city hospital, he didn't know how to start the conversation.

Guo Ziyuan, however, with a thirst for knowledge, started the conversation: "Director Zhou, how many operating rooms does the emergency department of Yichang Central Hospital currently have?"

"Basically, it'll just be some cleaning and suturing, right? I guess I'll just be staying here for the rest of the time."

Zhou Yong glanced at Huang Zhao, but Huang Zhao remained indifferent, seemingly uninterested in Zhou Yong's arrangements for Guo Ziyuan, his eyes closed and his mind elsewhere.

"Our hospital has quite a few emergency department operating rooms, which mainly handle debridement and suturing, and currently these are all handled by our hospital's resident trainees."

"Now that you're here, Dr. Guo, it's not appropriate to use such rudimentary techniques."

"That's such a waste of his talent." Zhou Yong still knew how to speak.

Guo Ziyuan casually replied, "Practicing skills, there's no such thing as wasting one's talents. Being able to operate is a favor from Director Zhou, I'm not picky."

"Director Zhou, if you send me straight into the operating room, I'll be completely lost. It's better to take it slow..."

Guo Ziyuan had a list of familiar emergency room staff members, but he didn't mention it to Zhou Yong.

Immature people, in an effort to build relationships, will go to great lengths to mention who they know in front of others, thus rigidly defining themselves by certain labels.

"Director Zhou, just hanging around in the control room won't cause you any trouble, will it?"

"My teacher and my advisor always taught me to never cause trouble for others."

Zhou Yong glanced at Huang Zhao again, his heart easing: "It's just cleaning and suturing in the operating room, what trouble could there be?"

"The patients who come to our hospital for treatment are not as picky as those at the Provincial People's Hospital."

"We've already done the residency training at our hospital, so master's degree holders who come to work here can easily get started."

"Xiao Guo, why don't you just tell me directly which diseases you want to familiarize yourself with at our hospital? That way, I can make arrangements accordingly."

Zhou Yong had never met Guo Ziyuan, but he had hosted other second-generation elites who had experienced hardship, and their demands were always extremely demanding.

Guo Ziyuan smiled and said, "Director Zhou, I don't have any requests. I just want to follow along and do whatever the teacher tells me to do."

"I'll just become familiar with whatever the teacher tells me to?"

Zhou Yong then tore through Guo Ziyuan's pretense: "Guo, what you're saying is practically making us work for you!"

Guo Ziyuan said, "The teachers are giving me the opportunity to practice by providing materials for free. How can it be considered working for them?"

"Director Zhou, please rest assured, I'm here to learn. I don't need the teachers to provide meals, and I guarantee it will be even easier to manage than the residency training program."

Guo Ziyuan was not familiar with Zhou Yongzhen; it was their first meeting, and he didn't know anything about Zhou Yongzhen's hobbies.

My only vague impression is that this Director Zhou is probably a money-grubbing person.

Guo Ziyuan tried his best to avoid the core issues he cared about.

"Professor Huang, why don't you just be blunt and tell me your instructions?" Zhou Yong decided to go further and cut to the chase...

He preferred Huang Zhao to be more assertive than Guo Ziyuan was polite.
