Doctor: I Can Synthesize Infinite Entries

Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Founding a School: Wu’s Umbilical Hole Skill

Seeing Wu Ting’s outstanding fundamental skills and his ability to hold his own, Director Zhang and Director Zheng made an arrangement. They had Wu Ting act as the chief surgeon, with several of the Military Hospital’s key trainee doctors serving as his assistants.

Director Zheng supervised from the side.

At the operating table, Wu Ting was in complete control, guiding the doctors from the Military Hospital and flawlessly completing the surgery.

By the end of the exchange event, the doctors from the Military Hospital were completely won over by Wu Ting.

In the observation room, Director Zhang began to ponder.

’It seems Old Zheng didn’t bring Wu Ting to my Military Hospital just for a simple training exchange.’

’Director Huo is notoriously protective of his own people. And this Wu Ting is definitely worth grooming. Having Old Zheng make the appearance this time... he’s also trying to get me to back Wu Ting later on.’

Zhang Zhong had always maintained a good relationship with City First Hospital. If he hadn’t personally seen Wu Ting in action, he wouldn’t have taken an official stance on the online controversy surrounding the young doctor.

But after this exchange, he had seen Wu Ting’s skill and talent firsthand.

’Old Zheng really went to great lengths for this.’

’After an event like this, even if I don’t say anything, the doctors in my department will wholeheartedly support Wu Ting.’

Zhang Zhong would naturally want to build a connection with and win over a young talent like Wu Ting.

’Without a doubt, that wily old fox Huo Yun is definitely planning a big move.’

Director Zhang was now prepared to step forward and voice his support the next time Huo Yun made a move to vindicate Wu Ting.

’Yao Shi, oh, Yao Shi. You could have picked on anyone, but you just had to try and suppress one of Huo Yun’s people to get ahead. I’m afraid you’ve really overplayed your hand this time and will suffer a double loss.’

They were both part of Fan City’s medical community. Yao Shi’s greatest strength was in laparoscopy, but given the potential and skill Wu Ting was demonstrating, he was bound to carve out a place for himself in Fan City’s laparoscopy field.

’When that time comes, I’ll be curious to see how Director Yao handles the situation.’

Once the final surgery was complete, all the doctors in the observation room rose to their feet in a gesture of respect.

When Wu Ting and Director Zheng emerged, Zhang Zhong once again led an enthusiastic round of applause, showing his admiration.

”Director Zheng, Dr. Wu, this exchange has truly been an eye-opener for me and all the doctors in my department.”

”Dr. Wu, you must come to our hospital for more exchanges whenever you have the time.”

”Yes, Dr. Wu, you’re incredible!”

”I’m definitely going to study the recordings of your surgeries. After observing you today, I feel like I’ve gained a lot of new insights into laparoscopic appendectomy.”

The few who had been fortunate enough to assist Wu Ting in surgery were particularly effusive.

”Dr. Wu, it was an honor to operate alongside you.”

”Truly impressive!”

”Dr. Wu, I have to admit, I’d been following the online discussions and thought you didn’t live up to your reputation—that it was all just clever editing for the cameras. But today, you’ve made a true believer out of me.”

”Dr. Wu, I’m going to go online and post my support for you right now!”

...

Watching the reactions from the Military Hospital’s physicians, Director Zheng couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion. ’This Dr. Wu is truly extraordinary.’

’As expected. Someone with real talent will be welcomed anywhere.’

Zhang Zhong chuckled knowingly.

”Old Zheng, I heard your hospital still hasn’t given Dr. Wu a permanent staff position. Isn’t that just insulting the man?”

”Dr. Wu, if you’re willing to come over, I can guarantee you a permanent position immediately. Join my department, and I’ll even set up a dedicated research project just for you!”

Hearing Zhang Zhong’s half-joking, half-serious offer, Zheng Duqing’s expression soured.

”In your dreams, Zhang Zhong! Professor Shen Guofeng from Jinggang University Affiliated First Hospital has invited him repeatedly, and Dr. Wu hasn’t budged an inch. What makes you think he’d come to your Military Hospital?”

”Our Dr. Wu doesn’t just have skills; his character is impeccable. He’s loyal to us at City First Hospital.”

Suddenly, Director Zheng understood Director Huo’s worries and frustrations.

’A rare talent like Wu Ting... it’s no wonder everyone is trying to poach him wherever he goes.’

Wu Ting laughed diplomatically. ”Director Zhang, Director Zheng, please don’t joke around. It’s my honor to be able to learn from respected seniors like you, who excel in both skill and integrity.”

”Next, Director Jiang and I will be starting a research project on minimally and non-invasive laparoscopic appendectomy. We’ll be counting on both of you seniors for your guidance and support.”

Wu Ting made his request with heartfelt sincerity.

In the medical field, skill was one thing, but connections were also crucial. At a critical moment, the difference between someone giving you a helping hand and someone trying to trip you up was night and day.

”Of course. If you need anything, just say the word,”

Zhang Zhong said, looking at Wu Ting with growing approval. ’Good skills, a professional image, and an excellent temperament and character. He’s definitely a young talent worth investing in.’

”Dr. Wu, once your research project is more established, I’ll be sending some of my people to your department for advanced training.”

Zhang Zhong was very optimistic about Wu Ting’s prospects. ’Plus, he has Jiang Ming assisting him in his research group. And above them, Huo Yun, Director Zheng, and even Dean Tang are all willing to give him their full support. This junior’s future is limitless.’

”Of course!”

The exchange event concluded on a high note, with both sides thoroughly pleased. Wu Ting had successfully earned the support of everyone in the Military Hospital’s general surgery department, from the top down.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing a highly effective exchange with the colleagues of the Military Hospital’s general surgery department and earning everyone’s recognition and admiration. You have acquired an entry from Director Zhang Zhong: Pediatric Laparoscopic Appendectomy (Yellow). Director Zhang’s appendectomy technique, developed over many years of research in the pediatric field, is in a class of its own in Fan City.]

[You have acquired an entry from an attending physician at the Military Hospital: Ambulance Physician’s Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Capabilities (Yellow). In-ambulance rescue procedures include professional techniques such as: chest compressions, bag-valve-mask ventilation, electrical defibrillation, establishing intravenous access, and endotracheal intubation.]

Wu Ting was pleasantly surprised to see this Pre-Hospital Emergency Care capability.

An ambulance crew is generally composed of a driver, a nurse, and a doctor.

Ambulance services are divided into emergency response, hospital transfers, and non-emergency transport (primarily escorting discharged patients home). Emergency response ambulances are almost always staffed with an accompanying physician, who usually has around four years of experience.

The most critical skill for an ambulance physician is pre-hospital emergency care. Acquiring this ability meant Wu Ting was now qualified to be the sole physician on an ambulance run.

’This trip to the Military Hospital was truly rewarding.’

...

...

After the exchange at the Military Hospital concluded, Director Zheng informed Director Huo and Director Jiang of Wu Ting’s flawless performance.

After seeing Wu Ting perform a traditional laparoscopic appendectomy, the two directors’ confidence in him soared.

”Wu Ting’s rate of growth is astonishing,” Huo Yun remarked. ”Now that he has mastered the basic laparoscopic appendectomy, he can start specializing in minimally invasive and non-invasive approaches.”

Huo Yun immediately instructed Jiang Ming to begin further training and development for Wu Ting.

To achieve better minimally invasive results, several approaches were currently being explored: further reducing incision size, decreasing the number of operating ports, and minimizing scarring through better suturing techniques. However, all of these were still in the experimental phase.

Jiang Ming shared all the ideas he had been experimenting with recently, giving Wu Ting free rein to test, refine, and optimize them in his upcoming laparoscopic appendectomies based on each patient’s specific condition.

Wu Ting was grateful for Jiang Ming’s trust and mentorship, and he deeply admired the acuity of Jiang Ming’s research instincts.

Next, Wu Ting planned to introduce one of these modified approaches:

The umbilical port laparoscopic appendectomy, which was one of the modified Surgical Techniques he had mastered under the Scar-Concealing Laparoscopic Appendectomy (Purple) entry.

The so-called umbilical port laparoscopic appendectomy reduced the traditional three-port method to a single port.

The incision is made in the side wall of the umbilicus, making it extremely well-hidden. The wound is then closed with intradermal sutures, which prevents significant scarring. As a result, after the surgery, the patient’s abdominal wall shows no obvious surgical marks, offering the advantages of minimal trauma and less pain.

Compared to open surgery and traditional three-port laparoscopy, the single-port umbilical approach was a massive leap forward.

And Wu Ting planned to use this ”Wu’s Umbilical Hole” technique to make a splash on the ”Path to Health” program, then use that momentum to apply for a research grant and submit for a Science and Technology Progress Award!
