Chapter 576: 10,000-Hour Rule
Gao Shaojie was also a little surprised but unknowingly, he felt something unknown toward Zheng Ren.
Zheng Ren had resolved the incident without a sound and Gao Shaojie felt that it was within reason. He could not explain why he felt that way but it was just a feeling. To his own boss, such a small thing would definitely not be a problem for him.
After comforting the patient, Gao Shaojie continued to look at the last two numbers before packing his things and leaving work.
“Gao, why do you address Zheng Ren as boss?” Hu Hai asked as he walked in the dark corridor.
“Boss will soon have his own research center and a national-level research fund. What else can I call him if not boss?” Gao Shaojie smiled and said, “Moreover, Professor Rudolf Wagner of Heidelberg University also calls him boss. If I called him teacher again, it would seem a bit distant.”
Actually, Gao Shaojie still had something to say.
He was a relatively old school type of person. He was old but mixed with the new culture and new world thinking. Boss Xiao Qiu and Xiao Yu both sounded interesting to him.
However, Gao Shaojie did not say that out loud.
After all, Boss Zheng Ren was not in the pear garden business. He was in the business of treating the dead and the living.
Hu Hai joked for a while before everyone returned to the intervention department.
Li Jianguo was already very busy. In order to prepare for the recent large number of TIPS surgery patients, he had not gone back to his dorm for three days.
He did not have enough manpower and could only use his staff like livestock. No one could do anything about it.
However, as long as teacher Gao gave him some advice, he would be able to master TIPS surgery techniques in the future. It would secure the rest of his future and Li Jianguo knew that.
Moreover, Teacher Gao especially advocated the 10,000-hour rule.
It was something that Li Jianguo also agreed with.
The 10,000-hour rule was the rule that Malcolm Gladwell pointed out in his book ‘Outliers’.
“The reason why the geniuses in people’s eyes are extraordinary is not that they have superior talent, but because they put in continuous effort. Ten thousand hours of training is a necessary condition for anyone to become a world-class master from an ordinary person.”
He called it the ‘10,000-hour rule’.
Li Jianguo knew that his talent was average. If he did not put in a lot of effort and learn under teacher Gao, he would quickly become an ordinary person.
Although he was able to put food on the table, he still wanted to have a better lifestyle. Who would not want to change from carrots and cabbages to delicious delicacies?
It was only 10,000 hours, Li Jianguo calculated. Even if he spent 10 hours a day, it would only take him 1,000 days.
Moreover, learning from Teacher Gao was the right direction. There was no doubt that he would be on the right path.
Three years was neither too long nor too short. No matter what, he had to make it.
When Gao Shaojie brought Zheng Ren back to the interventional department, Li Jianguo was sorting out the patient’s information for tomorrow’s surgery.
When he saw Gao Shaojie come in, he quickly stood up with a serious look on his face.
“Jianguo, bring me the patient’s scans,” Gao Shaojie ordered.
Li Jianguo immediately picked up a stack of scans from the computer and went to the scanner. “Teacher Gao, this is the first patient’s scan.”
The scan was tied with an abandoned surgical line and there was a label on it.
Zheng Ren nodded. Li Jianguo then inserted the scan done before the patient was admitted into the hospital. Afterward, he placed the bag of liver MRI scans at the top.
After doing all that, he began to report the patient’s condition. Without noticing, he quietly took a step back and stood behind Gao Shaojie.
The scan showed the typical signs of advanced cirrhosis. Even so, Zheng Ren still looked at it for almost a minute before he took out the scan of the patient’s liver and inserted it into the scanner.
Li Jianguo quickly put the scan away.
After all, he had to look at a lot of patients’ scans. If he was not careful and the scan was wrong, it might lead to him looking at another patient’s scan during the surgery...
It was not as if such a thing had never happened before.
A while ago, there was such a thing in the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University.
The urology department was ready to perform a kidney resection. The surgery was well prepared. The chief surgeon did not forget to make sure before the surgery to take a look at the scan.
However...the scans inserted into the scanner in the surgery room belonged to the previous patient...
A tragedy had happened in the end.
The matter caused a stir in the community. Although Li Jianguo was not the person involved, he remembered all the mistakes in his heart.
Gao Shaojie was very strict. In order to get his approval, he had to not neglect any details.
He could not understand the magnetic diffusion-weighted MRI of the liver, but he still had to do his tasks neatly and beautifully.
Zheng Ren looked at the MRI. A minute later, he asked, “Teacher Gao, where do you think the puncture should be done?”
“Here.” Gao Shaojie took out a pen from the pocket of his white coat and tapped on the film without hesitation.
Zheng Ren smiled and nodded.
Gao Shaojie’s growth was really fast.
Gao Shaojie had seen the film more than ten times. He had repeatedly deduced and calculated the position. Just the A4 paper used for the calculation alone was dozens of pages.
Gao Shaojie was confident in the final conclusion.
However, when he stood beside Zheng Ren and confidently pointed it out, Gao Shaojie was still a little apprehensive.
He thought that he had already grasped the basics of calculating the puncture point of the TIPS surgery. Although he was not as skilled as Boss Zheng and was not as good-looking as his assistant who was as beautiful as a woman, he could not tell at a glance and still had to make the calculations beforehand.
However, Gao Shaojie knew that he had stepped into the appropriate threshold after all.
He was afraid that he had made a mistake. If that was the case, it would be a huge blow to his confidence.
Fortunately, the moment Zheng Ren nodded, Gao Shaojie almost burst into tears.
It was done!
He had finally grasped it!
Zheng Ren briefly explained the essentials of the technique. Then, he removed the film and began with the next patient.
All of this was within Hu Hai’s expectations.
However, when he saw Zheng Ren reading the film like a mountain and Gao Shaojie feeling uneasy like a young doctor, he was still a little absent-minded.
No matter how much he overestimated the other at the beginning, in the end, he realized that he had still underestimated little Boss Zheng.
The film was flipped over one by one and it took more than an hour to finish them all.
After he finished the scans, he went to look at the patients. He compared them one by one with their details, memorizing them.
When he was done, it was almost six o’clock in the evening.
“Boss, thank you for your hard work,” Gao Shaojie said from the bottom of his heart after he finished looking at the last patient.
Actually, if Zheng Ren were to look at the scans himself, he would not need so much time at all.
A lot of time was ‘wasted’ on his studies.
“It’s okay,” Zheng Ren said lightly as he picked up his phone.
“Boss, let’s go have a meal together,” Gao Shaojie said frankly.
Zheng Ren looked at Xie Yiren’s WeChat message on his phone and was stunned.
[I’m waiting for you at the hospital’s Third Department. It’s a red Volvo.]
Why was it a red Volvo again? Zheng Ren was surprised. Had Xie Yiren not driven here?
This feeling... It was as if he had returned to Sea City and was going to Basement D.
Zheng Ren felt a little embarrassed when he heard Gao Shaojie’s words and said, “Old Gao, Old Hu, I have something to do here so we won’t be having dinner together tonight.”
