Chapter 56: To Such An Extreme?
Learning a new suturing technique is very difficult. Fortunately, I found Lu Cheng, who has great talent.
Under my own urging, Lu Cheng even learned and became popular!
There is a gap in proficiency between my suturing technique and Lu Cheng’s suturing technique. If Lu Cheng cannot retreat, how can this research project proceed?
However, fortunately, Tong Yuan’an is also a smart person.
After a moment’s thought, he quickly edited the message: “Well, now there seems to be only one way. You should re-learn this suturing technique from our group.”
“Yes, you should learn this suturing technique from our group and improve your proficiency in this suturing technique as well.”
“In this way, you will compare the super-standard Tajima method with our group’s suturing technique, and even the original Professor Tajima will be helpless!!!!”
“He will have no choice but to be convinced.” Tong Yuan’an’s mind works really fast, after all, he has a logical thinking ability of 654 on the college entrance examination.
Lu Cheng could understand Tong Yuan’an’s meaning.
From the surface data, the data from his own operations is much better than the original data from Professor Tajima and others, proving that Lu Cheng is more proficient than them.
Although everyone dislikes Murong Fu, the concept of “returning the favor” is still very useful.
Lu Cheng nodded and said sincerely, “Okay, Teacher Tong, I am also willing to learn!~”
Tong Yuan’an had no interest in talking to Lu Cheng anymore. As soon as he took off his gloves, he immediately sent the table on the computer to his teacher.
Afterward, Tong Yuan’an immediately called his Old Professor Zhou Yunhui, and Tong Yuan’an’s voice was a little tight: “Master…”
Zhou Yunhui asked: “What’s going on? Why is the test data so different?”
“Did you mix up the materials?”
Tong Yuan’an said: “No, Master. According to the speculation of myself and Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu’s mastery of the Tajima suturing technique might be even higher than the original creator’s proficiency.”
Zhou Yunhui was stunned for two or three seconds, his tone slightly distorted: “Tong Yuan’an, do you also think I’m getting senile? Do you know what you’re saying?”
Tong Yuan’an’s tone was obedient: “Master, please take a closer look at the original data published in the papers by Professor Tajima and his colleagues!”
“If Professor Tajima and his colleagues could have obtained this set of data from Xiao Lu, would they have kept it hidden?”
“Xiao Lu uses the same technique as them and gets better data. There is only one possibility, and that is that Xiao Lu’s proficiency is higher than theirs.”
“Otherwise, it cannot be explained!” Tong Yuan’an explained logically and coherently!
Zhou Yunhui fell silent upon hearing this, continuing to scroll through the data Tong Yuan’an sent, the sound of the mouse clicks crisp.
Then his voice sounded like a testicle being stepped on by a fine old pipe: “You… how did you teach? Do you have such an ability?”
Flourishing prose? No, this is called creating something out of nothing.
“Master, it’s Xiao Lu’s learning talent that is too amazing. He can reach the level beyond theory and operation.”
“Master, you should know this. After each suturing technique is developed, it cannot be mastered immediately; it needs to be continuously improved.”
“Xiao Lu? I can’t understand it either, but this is the fact. Master, I think we can…” Tong Yuan’an said enthusiastically.
Zhou Yunhui said: “There’s no need!~”
Tong Yuan’an thought Professor Zhou Yunhui had said what he wanted to say and immediately replied: “Master, it was Chen Song who made an appointment for Lu Cheng with Professor Xiang Dongshan.”
“It might be a bit troublesome…”
Tong Yuan’an spoke directly, mentioning Xiang Dongshan’s name, and Old Professor Zhou Yunhui should understand the situation.
In fact, Xiang Dongshan is in the Emergency Department, and Zhou Yunhui is in Hand Surgery. Even if they are familiar, they wouldn’t remember each other deeply.
But Professor Xiang Dongshan is so unforgettable! Among his peers, everyone retreats, and no one can match him.
“I said there’s no need… what Xiang Dongshan or not Xiang Dongshan? What does that have to do with Xiang Dongshan, this cannon?” Zhou Yunhui said.
Tong Yuan’an was a little anxious: “Master… no need?”
Zhou Yunhui directly hinted: “You should take a good look at the data that Xiao Lu operated. How much can the technique you’ve been pondering surpass? Are you trying to disgrace yourself in the industry by presenting less than five percent of the data?”
“Yuan’an, when we do research projects, they should be of substantial significance. I understand that you have invested a lot in this suturing technique, but you also have to admit when you are inferior to others. This is the basic quality of a researcher.”
“On the road of scientific research, there are always dried bones; it’s either you who get buried or others who get buried…”
“If this research project truly had substantial significance, Tan Zhongyu wouldn’t have easily let you handle it.”
“And to further improve upon this basis and reach a new peak is not something you can achieve in a short period.”
Zhou Yunhui cut off Tong Yuan’an’s thoughts.
After listening, Tong Yuan’an thought for a moment and replied in a low voice: “Master…”
“Let me tell you, Master, five days after I went to the countryside to Long County, Professor Xie Xiao from the Hand Surgery Department of Xiehe Hospital in E Province called me for no reason.”
“Xiehe Hospital, Xie Xiao? Called you?”
Zhou Yunhui couldn’t figure it out: “This is a bit too far-fetched, isn’t it? Why would she call you?”
“I don’t know?”
“At first, I thought Professor Xie knew Lu Cheng. Lu Cheng used to study in Hanshi City.”
“But later, I thought carefully, Lu Cheng studied at Hanshi University, and Xiehe Hospital is affiliated with Huazhong University of Science and Technology. They are not in the same system.”
“Thinking about it this way, Chen Song, a person from the Emergency Department, simply cannot grasp Lu Cheng’s learning ability!~”
“It’s just that he’s a bit too old…” Tong Yuan’an made a well-founded inference with his logical ability of 654.
Zhou Yunhui said: “It’s meaningless. His foundation is still too poor. He basically has no research foundation. In the end, he’s just a skilled technician.”
“What’s wrong with learning surgery quickly?”
“Our hospital is not short of people who can learn surgery. What kind of surgery can we not learn if we deliberately try?”
“The key is to be able to develop new surgical techniques and provide a flame of hope for patients with incurable diseases. That is our mission…”
“You should continue on your original path, go to the countryside properly, teach the people there some skills, and put aside other thoughts.”
“You have to admit your current limited ability. Professors Jin Xia and Tajima from Hand Surgery are world-class masters in hand surgery. Their chance and talent are not something you can easily contend with.”
“If you remain fixated on this, you might be fixated on it for your entire life.” As a mentor, Zhou Yunhui guided Tong Yuan’an’s future path in detail.
Tong Yuan’an sighed…
…
In the study, Lu Cheng saw a message from Mu Nanshu: “What happened to yours? How did it turn out like this?”
“Why are Professor Tajima’s original measurement data inferior to yours?”
Lu Cheng typed his reply: “I don’t know either? These techniques were all taught to me by Professor Tong Yuan’an. He told me that techniques can come from abroad, but they are used on our own people.”
“So we must strive for the extreme, and I did strive for the extreme…”
Mu Nanshu sent a voice message: “So you’ve taken it to this extreme? Lu Cheng, when did you become so humblebragging?”
Lu Cheng’s lips curved into a smile, and he replied calmly: “I’m not humblebragging, I really don’t understand.”
“Actually, Professor Tong doesn’t understand either. He didn’t watch Professor Tajima’s operation on the spot.”
“The key is that I don’t know the level of the suturing technique that Professor Tong demonstrated. Both of us are conducting our own double-blind experiments…”
“But it seems we’re both a bit blindly reckless…”
Mu Nanshu: “…”
