Chapter 1203: Chapter 938: The World is Truly Complicated

Today the weather was very good, and the sunlight was bright; Yang Ping came to work early in the morning.

A doctor’s work is almost the same every day, handing over shifts, making rounds, performing surgeries; these are the fixed daily tasks.

Before the morning handover meeting adjourned, Xu Zhiliang, stuttering, announced he was getting married, and asked everyone to join the celebration before distributing the invitations.

The bride-to-be was a female graduate student introduced by others; after dating for a while, both were very satisfied with each other.

The girl was a civil servant, from a well-off family, her parents were also retired civil servants. After meeting Xu Zhiliang, she felt very good about him and didn’t mind his stutter or unkempt appearance at all. Not only was the girl satisfied, but her parents were also very pleased with Xu Zhiliang.

Xu Zhiliang was getting married, while Liang Fatty was still dating. It was said that he had another argument with the flight attendant, and they were now in a cold war because he didn’t have much time to accompany the flight attendant on shopping trips or vacations, which she was unhappy about.

An anesthesiologist is also a doctor, always staying in the operating room caring for patients on the operating table, indeed having little time to spend with their girlfriend shopping or traveling.

The higher the level of the hospital a doctor worked in, the more it seemed they had no time of their own; most of the year was spent working, as if there were endless patients to see.

Sometimes, Liang Fatty barely managed to get a weekend off, yet he still had to attend various educational conferences; he had no time for traveling or shopping.

The effect of a hero saving a beauty doesn’t last very long. It’s not possible for the flight attendant to fall ill and need surgeries frequently enough for Liang Fatty to play the hero. Ultimately, their relationship needed to revolve around leisure activities like shopping, traveling, eating, and drinking.

If one cannot understand the nature of the medical profession, true love is hard to maintain.

Xu Zhiliang’s girlfriend could connect well with him possibly because she understood him. This girlfriend was very amiable and never complained about Xu Zhiliang being busy at work. When Xu Zhiliang had to teach interns during the weekend, his girlfriend would join him at the department, and she was quite happy about it.

After handing over their shifts, everyone rushed to the operating room, with a schedule packed full of surgeries for the day, and Liang Fatty did not have time to linger with his flight attendant girlfriend, as many patients were still waiting for his anesthesia.

Tang Shun came to report to Yang Ping about the current situation with the "Medical" journal. Tang Shun was worth several people, and Yang Ping had assigned him all the work outside clinical duties, including three research projects and the "Medical" journal among other chaotic tasks.

The "Medical" editorial department in the Surgical Research Institute building had a fixed office location taking up one floor, and up until now, the eight stories had not been fully occupied, leaving room for expansion.

Of course, a signboard was also going to be added at the main entrance on the first floor, and the editorial team led by Tang Shun was well-organized. Tang Shun hired an experienced chief editor who had worked at several top international journals and was also a Ph.D. graduate from a renowned medical school.

From the recent data on "Medical," the editorial policy of focusing primarily on digital journal formats with print journals as a supplement was completely correct. The print journal was merely for providing a stable medium for preservation.

According to the publishing policy, papers published online did not conform to the concept of a journal, as they could be submitted for publishing at any time. The "Medical" editorial department would regularly collect the week’s papers into a printed journal form to mail to readers in need of a print edition.

With the review team including top medical figures like Manstein, and the main authors being top doctors worldwide, supported by endorsements from the chief editors of top journals like "Science," "Nature," and "Cell," and with Yang Ping’s 13 CNS papers that had made waves in the medical field, the spatial orientation gene theory being published in "Medical" led to its instant peak status as a top journal upon its launch.

The "Medical" journal, unbound by scheduling and pagination, could incorporate unlimited content, ensuring prompt publication of papers. The weekly printed journals varied in thickness based on the number of papers each week.

Though "Medical" was a Chinese journal, numerous non-governmental academic organizations in Europe, the United States, and Japan spontaneously translated its papers, making "Medical" a journal with versions in over a dozen languages—an authentic international journal.

Commercial affairs were handled by Huang Jiacai, hospital management by Boss Cheng, laboratory work by Tang Shun, and clinical practice by Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang; each major sector had a suitable leader, and the entire large team’s structure was well-established. Now Yang Ping just needed to focus on research and performing surgeries, with his main energy increasingly leaning towards scientific research, as the contribution of scientific achievements to the world was greatest.

For example, concerning the treatment of stomach ulcers, various surgical methods had been used in the past, but even if the surgery was performed well, the effect was just so-so.

Later, when Helicobacter pylori was discovered, the entire mechanism of stomach ulcer development was revised, naturally changing the treatment approach. Previously, even major surgeries had limited effectiveness, but now it could be completely cured with just a few courses of medication, highlighting the significance of theoretical innovation in saving stomach ulcer patients worldwide.

Similarly, the invention of the hepatitis B vaccine prevented the rampant spread of this infectious disease, protecting the health of people worldwide.

Thus, Yang Ping was handling both clinical practice and research, but his focus was gradually shifting towards research. Of course, ultimately, clinical practice and research had to be integrated; research topics came from clinical practice, and research findings were to be applied in clinical settings.
