Chapter 219: Chapter 0206 Gold Hook and Silver Hook_2
Knowledge of anesthesia machines was previously sufficient with just know-how on their usage, but now, Yang Ping required understanding of their structure, mechanism, troubleshooting of certain faults, various operations, and parameters, all of which had to be thoroughly understood and implemented confidently.
Yang Ping invited the engineer from the manufacturer of the anesthesia machine to specifically explain the structural principles, and the judgment and elimination of some faults. This knowledge, although infrequently utilized, was necessary because it could save time and aid anesthesiologists in understanding their machines more profoundly.
Nurse training took place in a separate room. Head Nurse Jiang, along with Xiao Su, were training other instrument nurses. They had to familiarize themselves with the process of each trauma orthopedic surgery, even being required to simulate it once. Only then could they deeply understand the surgical steps and know how to cooperate.
There were hundreds of orthopedic surgical instruments placed on a rectangular table. In the past, nurses only needed to know the name, shape, and usage of each instrument.
Now, they were required to understand the invention history of these tools, the improvements that led to their current forms, why they were designed in their particular shapes, and why they were used in such a way.
Other departments were following the training plan set by the Orthopedics Department, including the pre-surgery ER, the surgery department, post-surgery trauma ICU, and supportive Anesthesia, Operating room, and Transfusion departments. Everyone was training earnestly and meticulously.
The whole floor was bustling with activity. Everyone was focused and dedicated.
There are no difficult matters in the world, only for those uninterested. This quote suited the current situation perfectly.
Colleagues in the Imaging Department were training on rapid film reading. However, it was not up to standard, and the time required was still far behind the goal. If they tried to speed up forcibly, it was likely to lead to mistakes and missed diagnoses.
Film reading required a long-term accumulation of practice and was not something that could be improved in the short term.
They also put in a lot of effort, took out all trauma patients’ images since the establishment of Sanbo, and studied them all over again, but they still couldn’t achieve the required film reading speed.
When surgeons were waiting on the platform, they couldn’t present an accurate report in real-time. This link took too much time and delayed the advancement of the entire process.
The Imaging Department couldn’t lag behind in this exercise. Director Meng came up with an idea — if one person couldn’t do it, they could have more people work together.
Originally, they planned to send two doctors for support. Now, they pulled seven doctors from the department. Each doctor was assigned a specific area such as head, chest, abdomen, spine, upper limbs, lower limbs, and pelvis to read the image, and then they would collectively generate one report. They were able to accomplish tasks quickly and precisely in this manner.
These doctors, with each responsible for a specific area, reviewed the images of their focused parts daily, which led to training and speed improvement that exceeded previous performance many times over.
After taking a round, President Liao was increasingly excited. His passion was uncontrollable. How regrettable it was that he wasn’t part of such a historic event and hadn’t endeavored with everyone.
He arrived at the training spot of his department, where several young associate chief physicians were busy. They were studying anatomy in such a serious manner they hadn’t noticed him at all.
“Director Bao?”
After calling a few times, Director Bao finally turned around and glanced at him: “Oh, Xiao Liao–”
And then he returned to his work.
President Liao initially wanted to say a few words of encouragement, but they were all so busy they didn’t have any time. He left in regret. He wished he was still an in-patient physician and had the opportunity to participate in such activities.
If he could, he would be willing to even help carry the stretcher.
Observing the enthusiasm of everyone, the rumors he had previously heard that people were on the verge of collapse under high pressure naturally debunked themselves. Did this look anything like a state of collapse? With his earnest demeanor, Director Bao looked like an intern who had just started clinical practice.
Professor Zhang Zongshun was walking from one room to another in the corridor with his hands clasped behind him. The hospital’s comprehensive orthopedics clinic had been suspended for some time now, so he had nothing much to do.
Serving as the consulting-advisor for the hospital’s training team, he had no specific duties. It was the younger generation that was running the show, so he was merely there to lend a lively presence.
The vibe brought back a sense of nostalgia.
In my youth, during the fifties and sixties, our times were tumultuous and impoverished! Yet everyone’s spirits were high; we were filled with energy and a determination that we could revolutionize the world.
Now, seeing the vigor and vitality of these young people is truly refreshing.
From time to time, I would give some suggestions to Yang Ping, but I never interfere. After all, I am getting on in years, and even though I keep up my habit of learning, my thought processes and concepts can’t keep up with the younger generation. Pointing them in the right direction is enough. Too much involvement would not only be pointless but might actually lead to misunderstandings.
Little Five and Zhang Lin, who are in the same group as Yang Ping, would take on secondary roles if Yang Ping was the Chief Surgeon. Song Zimo will definitely be the first assistant, and Little Five and Zhang Lin would be the second and third assistants, their main tasks might be to handle the retractors.
So in addition to the basic training, their specialized focus is on handling the retractors and suction devices because their group will be the focus. Little Five and Zhang Lin have even been given nicknames by their Orthopedics colleagues: Gold Hook and Silver Hook!
Bearing these titles on the operating table is an ultimate honor that not just anyone can handle.
Apparently, in some big hospitals, there are doctors in their forties and fifties who still can’t advance in their career and can only handle the retractors on the operating table. Those in their forties are called Silver Hooks, while those in their fifties are called Gold Hooks.
These two guys have received such prestigious titles at such a young age. What an honor!
As for who is the Gold Hook and who is the Silver Hook, the two of them have been arguing about it. We’ll put that aside for now and see how it pans out in the future.
A detailed anatomy of the pelvis was drawn on the whiteboard. Yang Ping regularly explained the anatomy in circles. All these anatomical diagrams were drawn by Song Zimo.
Professor Zhang stood in front of the whiteboard. When Yang Ping returned, he promptly came over to chat with the old man.
“Old Zhang!” Yang Ping called respectfully.
“Xiao Yang, you’ve been working hard.” Professor Zhang turned around.
“Everyone has been working hard.” Yang Ping invited Professor Zhang to sit.
Witnessing this scene, Professor Zhang was deeply moved:
“Our country started from scratch and was late in getting started; it’s natural for us to have a gap in various fields. You guys didn’t experience the most difficult times. Despite that, we managed to build atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, missiles, satellites, and nuclear submarines through our own efforts.”
“Developed countries in Europe and America are indeed stronger than us, but as long as we work hard, we can narrow the gap and catch up.”
“We Chinese are no worse than anyone else. It’s just a temporary decline in modern times.”
“If you have studied history, not to mention other things, just speaking about porcelain and silk. In ancient times, these were exported to the whole world. In Europe, only the wealthy nobility could afford them. After studying for hundreds of years, Europeans only managed to make inferior copies. Porcelain is nothing more than playing with clay. Our ancestors turned clay into commodities that could make money worldwide. Isn’t that remarkable?”
“As descendants of such a smart and diligent race, how can we not succeed? Xiao Yang, you are doing it right. Don’t fear strong enemies, stay grounded, despise enemies strategically, and pay attention to them tactically.”
Yang Ping listened attentively and helped Professor Zhang sit down:
“Thank you for your guidance, Old Zhang. Have a seat and rest. Would you like a glass of water?”
“I’ll sit for a while. You guys continue. Don’t worry about me. As long as we keep working hard, overtaking them is just a matter of time. If not in five years, then ten years, if not in ten years, then twenty years—I’m afraid this old chap might not live to see that day!”
Old Zhang sat down and took the water handed over by Yang Ping.
“Child, you’re doing well. In the future, you must remain steadfast and not be swayed by various temptations. You must dedicate yourself to serving the country. Those who say science knows no borders are all talking nonsense. If science knows no borders, why do they blockade technology against us? Why do those European and American technology groups lock their technology in safes? They are all liars.”
Old Zhang waved his hand and took a sip of water.
