It indicates that the patient’s other conditions are not severe, which is indeed a very good result.
Geng Yongzhe’s hand wanted to touch his relieved heart, nodding repeatedly: "Thank you, Senior Cao."
"No need to be polite. This is part of our duty. If you have any questions, you can ask Doctor Chang now. He should be the Chief Surgeon then."
As for orthopedics, these students haven’t yet been assigned to the orthopedic departnt. Mainly because orthopedics is quite a peculiar specialty, not designated by dical education departnts as a required learning departnt for dical students during internships, yet it’s a major business sector. As a result, so dical schools sotis set up special orthopedic classes to train future professionals.
Like at Guoxie, where they have undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral orthopedic students, yet there is no interaction with their eight-year class. Orthopedics has never trained specialized students in their eight-year class. It is said that very few seniors from the eight-year class eventually go to orthopedics. The reason is that orthopedics actually requires very high technical skills from doctors.
The top students in the eight-year class, those with truly excellent academic performance, prefer to pursue Neurosurgery and Cardiothoracic Surgery, two renowned surgical specialties. The next choice would be Hepatobiliary Surgery, with Guoxie’s Hepatobiliary Surgery being number one nationwide. Those with relatively average grades who want to go to orthopedics end up being scrutinized by orthopedics, who find them inadequate, ultimately relegating them to General Surgery and other surgical departnts.
The orthopedics departnt at Guoxie primarily recruits students from its own dical school, training local graduate and doctoral students, but more importantly, directly absorbs those trained by other dical schools, such as Beidu. Beidu’s orthopedic students are very well-known.
For instance, when President Wu recruited Fu Xinheng and also brought Chang Jiawei over, it was because Guoxie’s Spinal Surgery was weak, needing talent from Beidu to supplent. Spinal Surgery will beco increasingly important in dostic dical practice in the future partly because people with money increasingly focus on appearance, which includes not just facial features but also body shape. The spine, as a pillar in the human body, cannot be considered unimportant. Furthermore, as the nation gradually becos wealthier, cancer treatnt won’t be confined just to removing primary lesions; surgeries attempting to extend survival periods, even for secondary lesions, will be considered.
The spine is a common site for cancer recurrence. If bone tastases in the spine can be perfectly removed and spinal function reconstruction done during early discovery, the patient’s survival period can be significantly extended, and the quality of life during this period will directly improve.
For many patients with bone tastases, the most painful aspect is not approaching death due to cancer spread, but direct incontinence and paralysis, making their last phase in life unbearable, equivalent to a fate worse than death.
The goal of dicine is not only to extend the patient’s survival ti but also to enhance their happiness before death.
Currently, in Orthopedics at Guoxie, actually more than half are cancer patients, including both primary and recurrent tastatic cases, each accounting for half. This area is thriving. There are rumors that President Wu wants to recruit further from Beidu’s orthopedic students.
Recruitnt cannot be random; selecting promising talents is essential. Who is assisting President Wu as this talent-hunting eye?
Xie Wanying recalls seeing Senior Chang often running to Beidou Third Hospital, indicating rely academic exchange seems insufficient; she hasn’t heard of any large academic conferences recently at Beidu.
Senior Chang might be helping President Wu act as a scout because the ti right after the New Year is when major hospitals begin recruiting outstanding dical students early.
