181: Chapter 181 You're in this training course too? Or am I my roommate?
At 12:40, the door was pushed open.
A familiar figure appeared at the doorway.
"Lu Chen?"
The person who arrived was stunned for a moment, then grinned.
Zhou Haoran.
The silver medalist of the provincial assessment.
The person who was only 0.3 points behind Lu Chen last time.
"You are in this training class too?"
Zhou Haoran walked in carrying a suitcase, his face full of surprise.
"And you're my roommate?"
"Yeah."
Lu Chen was also a bit surprised, but he still nodded.
"What a coincidence."
Zhou Haoran threw his suitcase onto the bed on the right and sat down carelessly.
"When did you arrive?"
"A little after eleven."
"I arrived more than an hour later than you. The traffic jam on the way made me want to hit someone."
Zhou Haoran said while looking around the room.
"The conditions are decent, better than I imagined."
"It's quite good."
"Did you sign in at the lobby just now?"
"I did."
Zhou Haoran leaned in and lowered his voice.
"I heard someone tried to trip you up earlier?"
"News travels that fast?"
Lu Chen was a bit surprised.
"When I walked in, some students in the hallway were chatting, saying an Attending Physician from Shanghai publicly questioned a Resident Physician's qualifications, only to be shut down by the person's provincial assessment first-place transcript."
Zhou Haoran gave a thumbs up.
"As soon as I heard it, I knew it was you."
"It's nothing major."
"What was that person's name again?"
"Chen Hao, from Shanghai Ruihua Hospital."
Zhou Haoran thought for a moment.
"Ruihua? That's one of the top five Grade A tertiary Hospitals in Shanghai; their Emergency Department is indeed quite strong."
"Yeah."
"But regardless of where he's from, letting your results do the talking is more effective than anything else."
Zhou Haoran patted Lu Chen's shoulder.
"By the way, where did you go after the last assessment? I heard you performed quite a few major surgeries later?"
"Just routine work in the Red Zone."
"You call that routine work?"
Zhou Haoran widened his eyes.
"I heard from Director Qian that you performed a Hepatic Artery Anastomosis for a Living Donor Liver Transplantation in Jiangcheng, and you were even specifically praised by Professor Liu Chongli from the Provincial Hospital."
"Director Qian told you?"
"Yeah, last time our Hospital had an academic exchange with Guangfu Hospital, when Director Qian Fangxu mentioned you, he was beaming, as if you were his own son."
Lu Chen's mouth twitched.
"I remember you were at the Provincial Peoples Hospital before, how come now?"
"Oh, I transferred to Shenzhen; I just finished the paperwork a month ago."
Zhou Haoran's expression was a bit emotional.
"The benefits at the Provincial Hospital are good, but there's limited room for advancement. Shenzhen just built a new trauma center, and the conditions they offered were excellent."
"That's great."
"Yeah, a change of environment to start fresh."
The two chatted for a while, and the topic naturally shifted to this training.
"Have you looked at tomorrow's curriculum?"
Zhou Haoran pointed to the schedule on the table.
"I have."
"Cadaver dissection."
Zhou Haoran took a deep breath.
"To be honest, I haven't touched a cadaver since my undergraduate days, and I'm feeling a bit nervous."
"That's normal; many people are like that."
"What about you? Are you nervous?"
"No."
Zhou Haoran looked at him and laughed.
"I knew you'd say that."
...
2:00 PM.
Lecture Hall No. 1.
Fifty students sat in the tiered seating, with three people standing on the podium in front of them.
The one in the middle was the man with silver-rimmed glasses that Lu Chen met in the hallway at noon.
The host went on stage, gave a short welcome speech, and then began to introduce the training team.
"The head of this training, Director of the Emergency Department at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Professor Han Zhiguo."
Lu Chen looked at the thin figure on the stage, remembering the brief conversation at noon.
So he was the Director of the Peking Union Medical College Hospital Emergency Department.
Professor Han Zhiguo walked to the microphone and scanned the students below.
"Everyone, welcome to this training."
His voice was not loud, but very clear.
"This training program has been held for twelve sessions. Every session, we select the most outstanding emergency medical backbone from all over the country to participate, with only one goal: to make you stronger."
"In the next half-month or so, you will undergo high-intensity theoretical study and practical training. The difficulty of the courses will gradually increase, and in the later stages, there will be on-site observation and participation in real cases."
"I only have one requirement for you."
Professor Han Zhiguo paused for a moment.
"Put aside your titles and ranks from your respective Hospitals. Here, you are all students, here to learn, not to compare qualifications."
When he said this, his gaze seemed to linger in a certain direction below the stage.
Lu Chen noticed that Chen Hao's body stiffened slightly for a moment.
...
The welcome meeting lasted about forty minutes.
Besides Professor Han Zhiguo, two other mentors gave brief self-introductions.
One was Professor Luo Zhenyu from the Emergency Department of Peking University Third Hospital, responsible for the theoretical courses on pathophysiology and emergency diagnosis.
The other was Professor Sun from the Trauma Center of the PLA General Hospital, responsible for the practical training in Advanced Trauma Life Support.
The backgrounds of all three were incredibly impressive.
They were all top figures in the domestic emergency field.
After the welcome meeting was the student symposium.
Fifty people sat around together, each giving a one-minute self-introduction.
Lu Chen listened to everyone, and he had a rough idea.
Among these fifty people, the vast majority were Attending Physicians, there were six Associate Chief Physicians, and he was the only Resident Physician.
Apart from him, the youngest was a 28-year-old Attending Physician from Shandong.
Most people came from the Emergency Department of provincial or municipal Grade A tertiary Hospitals, and a few came from major national-level Hospitals.
When Chen Hao introduced himself, he specifically mentioned "Attending Physician in the Emergency Department of Shanghai Ruihua Hospital, eight years of experience."
When speaking, his gaze swept towards Lu Chen intentionally or unintentionally.
When it was Lu Chen's turn, he stood up and said only three sentences.
"Lu Chen, Resident Physician, Emergency Department, Jiangcheng City Central Hospital."
That was it.
It was quiet for a second or two.
"That's it?"
Zhou Haoran, sitting next to him, muttered in a low voice.
"Yeah."
Lu Chen sat down.
Several students around exchanged glances.
That provincial top-ranking Resident Physician was indeed a man of few words.
After the symposium ended, the students dispersed.
Lu Chen and Zhou Haoran returned to their dormitory.
On the way, Zhou Haoran couldn't help but ask.
"Your self-introduction was too short, wasn't it?"
"I said what needed to be said."
"You didn't even mention being first in the provincial assessment."
"No need."
"Aren't you afraid others will continue to look down on you?"
"It doesn't matter."
Zhou Haoran shook his head.
"Fine, anyway, for someone like you, your strength is there; it makes no difference whether you say it or not."
Back in the dormitory, Lu Chen reviewed the requirements for tomorrow's anatomy class.
The course notice was written in great detail.
Operation content: Complete removal of the entire abdominal viscera, including the stomach, duodenum, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen. It also requires the complete dissection and preservation of the abdominal aorta branches, celiac trunk, superior and inferior mesenteric arteries, portal venous system, and the corresponding nerve plexuses during the procedure.
Time limit: Four hours.
Evaluation criteria: Integrity of the organs, length of preserved vessels, clarity of nerve dissection, and standardized operation.
This is the ultimate test of anatomical skills.
Lu Chen read the requirements twice, then opened the chapter on abdominal anatomy in the textbook.
Although he had the system's support, his habit was always to be prepared in advance.
After reading for about an hour, Zhou Haoran came out of the bathroom and saw the textbook spread out on Lu Chen's desk.
"You're still looking at abdominal anatomy?"
"Yeah."
Zhou Haoran sat on the bed and thought seriously.
"To be honest, I'm a bit nervous about this operation tomorrow; I've forgotten half of my anatomy knowledge from my undergraduate days."
"Don't rush, take it slow when the time comes; four hours is enough."
"You say it so easily."
Lu Chen didn't say anything more and continued flipping through the book.
