It shows that the patient's condition in other parts of the body is not serious. This is really a very good result.
Geng Yongzhe's hand touched the heart of his relieved heart, and he nodded: "Thank you, Senior Brother Cao."
"You're welcome. This is our job. If you have any questions, you can ask Dr. Chang now. He should be the chief surgeon then."
As for orthopedics, no one in their class has taken the turn to go to orthopedics yet. The main reason is that orthopedics is a rather unique specialty. The non-medical education department designates a department that medical students must study during their internship. However, it is also a large business, so various medical schools sometimes set up orthopedic classes specifically for this orthopedics department to train future students.
For example, the National Association of Orthopedics has undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students, but they have little in common with their eighth-year class. Orthopedics has never produced junior college students in their eight-year class. It is rare to hear that seniors in the eighth grade end up in orthopedics. The reason is that orthopedics actually has very high technical requirements for doctors.
Among the top students in the eighth-year class, the one with the best academic performance really likes to go to neurosurgery and cardiothoracic surgery, two well-known surgical specialties, followed by hepatobiliary surgery, which makes the National Association of Hepatobiliary Surgery number one in the country. If those with average academic performance want to go to the orthopedics department, it will be the orthopedics department's turn to pick on the medical students and look down upon them, and they will eventually end up in other surgical departments such as general surgery.
The Department of Orthopedics of the National Association currently mainly absorbs students, in addition to graduate students and doctoral students recruited locally by its own medical school, and more importantly, students directly trained by other medical schools. For example, Beidu. The orthopedic students in Beidu are very famous.
For example, when Dean Wu recruited Fu Xinheng, he also recruited Chang Jiawei. It was precisely because the spinal surgery department of the National Association of Chinese Medicine was very weak and needed talents from Beijing to supplement it. Spine surgery will become more and more important in the future medical business in China. One is because when people get rich, they start to pay attention to appearance. Appearance refers not only to the facial features, but also to the body. The spine plays the role of the backbone of the human body. It is impossible to say that it is unimportant. Secondly, it is also because the people are getting richer. In terms of cancer treatment, it is not limited to the removal of primary lesions. As long as it can prolong survival, surgery on secondary lesions will be tried.
The spine is a common site for recurrence of many cancers. If bone metastases in the spine can be perfectly removed when detected early and spinal function can be reconstructed, the patient's survival can be greatly extended and the quality of survival can be directly improved.
The most painful thing for many patients with bone metastases is not that the death due to cancer metastasis is approaching, but that the person is directly incontinent and paralyzed, making the patient's life difficult in the final stage of life, which is worse than death.
The purpose of medicine is not only to prolong the patient's survival time, but also to improve the patient's happiness before death.
In Sanlitou, the Department of Orthopedics of the National Association of Orthopedics, more than half of the cancer patients are admitted, including primary cancer and recurrence and metastasis, each accounting for half. This business is booming. I heard that Dean Wu wants to recruit more orthopedic students from Beidu.
You can't dig people casually. If you want to dig, you must aim at good seedlings. Who can help Dean Wu act as a pair of talent-hunting eyes?
Xie Wanying recalled that she saw Senior Chang traveling to Beidu three times during this period. It seemed unreasonable to say that it was just an academic exchange. She had never heard of any large-scale academic exchange meetings held in Beidu recently.
Senior Chang may be helping Dean Wu as a spy, because after the Chinese New Year, major hospitals start to scout outstanding medical students in advance.
