Doctor: I Can Synthesize Infinite Entries

Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Invited to Give a Lecture and Provide Training

Director Huo himself was highly accomplished in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery and possessed extensive clinical experience with intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct stones. With Professor Ma coming to Xiao City for an academic exchange, Huo Yun planned to attend as well.

At the same time, Huo Yun also planned to bring Jiang Ming, Wu Ting, and the others to broaden their horizons.

Many experts in the hepatobiliary field would be attending this academic exchange, and one of the topics of discussion was cholecystitis and gallstones.

Huo Yun called Wu Ting over.

"Wu Ting, I had originally planned to let you start on cholecystectomies a bit later. After all, it’s different from an appendicitis. Biliary tract diseases and severe, critical cases of acute cholecystitis are very dangerous, and the surgical difficulty is several levels above an appendectomy. Having you learn too early would be like pulling up a seedling to help it grow."

"Furthermore, there are many indications for a cholecystectomy, and the variety of gallbladder and biliary tract diseases is vast. In comparison, an appendectomy is much more straightforward. However, your recent performance and your rate of mastering the appendectomy have far exceeded my expectations. Therefore, it’s time for you to start performing cholecystectomies."

"For the time being, you’ll learn about cholecystectomies from Dr. Qin. You should also read more domestic and international journal articles in the relevant fields—that’s one of your strengths. If you run into any difficulties, you can always come to me. I don’t mean to brag, but I’m a seasoned expert in this area."

"In a little while, Professor Ma Mengchao from the General Surgery Department of Qinghe City Jiuhua Hospital will be coming to Xiao City for an academic exchange. I’ll take you and Jiang Ming with me to participate in the academic discussions. Although you aren’t yet qualified to take part directly, being able to listen to a provincial expert like Professor Ma share his knowledge is an excellent opportunity."

"I suggest you use this time to thoroughly study and build your knowledge of cholecystitis and biliary tract diseases. That way, you won’t be completely lost during the conference and waste such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Hearing that he could attend Professor Ma’s academic presentation, Wu Ting was thrilled.

’It doesn’t matter if I can get into the exchange or not,’ Wu Ting thought. ’I just need to be there to get some benefits!’

’If I’m lucky enough for an entry to drop from Professor Ma, it’ll be like hitting the jackpot!’

"Okay, Director Huo. I’ll definitely spend more time preparing when I get back."

[Ding! After a conversation with Director Huo and attentively listening to his teachings, you have obtained an entry from him: Diagnosis of Gallbladder and Biliary Tract Diseases (Purple). Decades of Director Huo’s skill, specialized in the diagnosis of gallbladder and biliary tract diseases!]

’Whoa!’ Wu Ting was pleasantly surprised as he looked at the dropped entry. ’So Director Huo really is a top-tier expert in gallbladder and biliary tract diseases.’

’I’d only managed to get a few purple entries from Professor Shen Guofeng before. I didn’t expect Director Huo to drop a surprise like this too.’

This made Wu Ting even more excited to listen to Professor Ma’s presentation!

Seeing Wu Ting’s excitement, Huo Yun felt a sense of appreciation. ’Young people get fired up so easily. Just dangle a carrot in front of them, and they’re full of fighting spirit.’

Huo Yun also felt a little ashamed. ’At an academic event with someone of Professor Ma Mengchao’s stature, the most I could hope for with my own standing is to exchange a few words or offer a simple greeting.’

’Even though I’m a big shot who can call the shots in Fan City, in a place like Xiao City, I’m just above average. Across the country, in the eyes of a near-academician like Professor Ma, I couldn’t be more ordinary.’

’When the time comes, I’ll just be sitting with Wu Ting, Jiang Ming, and the others in the outer seats, merely auditing the talks. We won’t get a seat at the main table.’

’Still, for a youngster like Wu Ting who hasn’t seen much of the world, just being able to watch Professor Ma hold court from a distance is a great honor.’

’Among the three of them, it was actually Jiang Ming who had a chance to receive direct guidance from Professor Ma. After all, Jiang Ming’s elders were influential figures in Qinghe City.’

’To enter the highest echelons of medicine, one needed a prestigious mentor, family connections, and supreme talent. Not a single one could be missing.’

This was why Huo Yun was taking Wu Ting to such a top-tier academic conference—to let him broaden his horizons and, at the same time, expand his network.

...

...

After Wu Ting returned, he found Qin Donglai and told him that Director Huo wanted him to start learning cholecystectomy.

Qin Donglai, of course, wouldn’t hold anything back, but he was also a little surprised that Director Huo was having Wu Ting start on the gallbladder field so soon.

In recent days, thanks to Wu Ting’s teaching, they now had a proficient team capable of performing the Wu’s Umbilical Hole Laparoscopic Appendectomy.

Song Qi, Jiang Ming, Wu Ting, and Qin Donglai could all act as the lead surgeon, so Wu Ting had more energy to learn other surgical techniques.

"Wu Ting, once we have a suitable patient, I’ll arrange for you to start learning cholecystectomy. In the meantime, you can start by studying some instructional videos."

"No problem. I’ll be in your care then, Dr. Qin."

After speaking with Qin Donglai, Wu Ting had to go check on the wards and see how Yasui was doing. Although he didn’t need to personally handle every little detail of the rounds, the necessary checks still had to be made.

After all, Wu Ting was now the patient’s attending physician, while Yasui was merely assisting. The key decisions still had to be made by Wu Ting himself. Therefore, he needed to have a clear grasp of the conditions of all the patients under his care.

Just as Wu Ting was about to reach the ward, his phone rang.

Wu Ting checked the caller ID and answered.

"Hello, Expert Xiao Wu. This is Zhang Zhong, the director of General Surgery at the Military Hospital..."

Hearing that it was Director Zhang Zhong from the Military Hospital, Wu Ting felt a little embarrassed.

"Oh, Director Zhang, you’re flattering me. How could I possibly be called an expert in front of you? I’m just a junior who still needs to learn from seniors like yourself."

"No, no, Dr. Wu, you absolutely deserve to be called an expert now. And this isn’t just false pleasantry; I truly mean it. When it comes to laparoscopic appendectomy, you are the expert—the top expert in all of Fan City!"

"Dr. Wu, you don’t have to be so modest. I call you an expert out of a sense of responsibility to the patients. Think about it: if a patient hears that I’ve invited an expert to perform their surgery, won’t that build more trust? They’ll be more cooperative with your instructions as well."

With Zhang Zhong’s well-reasoned explanation, Wu Ting accepted the title.

"Expert Xiao Wu, here’s the deal. The reason for my call is simple. I’d like to invite you to our Military Hospital to give a lecture and training session on the Wu’s Umbilical Hole Laparoscopic Appendectomy."

"At the same time, I’ll also arrange for a few suitable patients for you to operate on as the lead surgeon, with doctors from my department assisting you. Don’t worry, I’ll assign senior attending physicians at the very least, including some associate chief physicians. I can absolutely guarantee the successful completion of the surgeries."

Hearing Director Zhang personally call to invite him to the Military Hospital for a lecture and training, Wu Ting couldn’t help but feel a little proud.

This was a level of courtesy that not even Qin Donglai received, let alone a young doctor of Wu Ting’s age.

Senior residents like Luo Ming and Yasui weren’t even qualified to be invited for freelance surgeries, let alone to give lectures and training.

The Emergency Surgery Department at City First Hospital maintained an open and inclusive attitude toward the Wu’s Umbilical Hole Laparoscopic Appendectomy. They weren’t jealously guarding their own treasure, but were willing to engage in mutual exchange and learning to spread the technique and establish it as a new industry standard.

As the originator of the surgical technique, the more widely the Wu’s Umbilical Hole Laparoscopic Appendectomy was promoted, the more beneficial it would be for the reputation and prestige of City First Hospital.

Therefore, both the department and the hospital supported Wu Ting going to the Military Hospital to give the lecture and training.

"Expert Xiao Wu, rest assured, when you come for the lecture and training, I’ll pay you a fee of 5,000 yuan per teaching hour, cover your food, lodging, and travel expenses, and on top of that, you’ll receive a surgical fee of 2,000 yuan for each demonstration surgery..."

Hearing Zhang Zhong make such a generous offer, Wu Ting readily accepted.

’Of course, it wasn’t mainly about the payment. The key was the opportunity to collaborate with these doctors and obtain more entries!’

’Besides, this would be extremely beneficial for my own influence!’
