"I heard you have a cold?"

Professor Locke asked with a smile as he looked at the somewhat reserved young man in front of him. After receiving Dr. Morpheus's report, he was immediately relieved about his interview evaluation of Tian Lu, and after a phone call with Professor Francis, Locke's interest in Tian Lu became even more sufficient.

Tian Lu nodded helplessly, and replied in an increasingly nasal voice: "Yes, I'm sorry, Professor Locke, but please rest assured, it's just a common cold, definitely not a flu!"

"Hehe, you don't have to be nervous, I'm just asking. ”

Professor Locke waved his hand, picked up the interview evaluation form in his hand, and smiled easily: "But in this way, it can also explain your performance in the front." ”

Hearing this, Tian Lu's heart suddenly relaxed a lot, and he nodded: "Yes, out of caution, I can only try to avoid long-term positive communication with the residents, so 。。。。。。 ”

Tian Lu's words were not finished, but Locke had already understood what he meant, smiled freely, and no longer dwelled on this section.

After glancing at Tian Lu's application materials again, Professor Locke thought for a moment, and then asked, "So, can you please talk about the origin of these three letters of recommendation? I wonder how you, an ordinary student of Huaguo Medical College, met Professor McBerg?"

From Professor Francis's mouth, Locke knew that Tian Lu was recommended by Professor McBerg to do an apprenticeship, and thus received his approval, which could not help but make him curious. After all, the gap between an ordinary Chinese medical student and a well-known professor in neurosurgery is too big.

Hearing this question, Tian Lu couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

With the help of Lei Kang and several Chinese doctors, Tian Lu looked up a lot of information about the interview on the Internet, and also conducted many mock exercises, but after arriving here, those routine questions, such as self-introduction, such as the reason for applying for neurosurgery, etc., Professor Locke did not mention any of them, but asked a question that he thought was irrelevant!

But after only being slightly stunned, Tian Lu replied seriously: "Oh, I'm afraid this will start with a clinical internship in my junior year。。。。。。 ”

It took two or three minutes for Tian Lu to explain the reason for knowing Professor McBerg and the experience of going to Los Angeles for an internship.

"Huh?"

After listening carefully to Tian Lu's narration, Professor Locke's originally calm expression became surprised, and he asked in surprise: "Tian, I remember that your medical school in Huaguo should be able to apply for the examination after graduating from high school, right?"

"Yes. ”

Tian Lu nodded and confirmed: "Unlike the medical education system in the United States, our school duration is only five years, so I can graduate at the age of twenty-three. ”

"Wow!"

With an exclamation from his mouth, Professor Locke's eyes widened and asked, "That means you can translate Professor McBerg's cutting-edge research after only two years of college?"

"To be precise, it should have been nearly two and a half years, and I went to translate for Professor McBerg in my junior year!" Tian Lu seriously corrected Professor Locke's misunderstanding.

"Oh God, how did you do that?"

The surprise on Professor Locke's face became more and more obvious, and he leaned forward fiercely, almost unable to help but stand up: "After only two and a half years of college, you can read and fully understand McBerg's research?"

Seeing Professor Locke's exaggerated performance, Tian Lu was secretly happy in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel ashamed. His understanding of neuromedicine back then was far less profound than it is now, and it was purely based on the translation function of the system.

Thinking like this in his heart, Tian Lu's face remained silent, and he pretended to be indifferent and said, "Yes." First of all, Professor McBerger's research was more basic, and I had just finished the basic course of medicine at that time, and secondly, I had been particularly interested in neuromedicine since I was in college, and I read a lot of professional books and periodicals outside of class, so it was not particularly difficult to translate. ”

Tian Lu's calmness did not make the surprise in Locke's heart less than half a point. As an old friend of Professor McBerger, he is well aware of the cutting-edge nature of that research, and naturally understands that the translation that can make Professor McBerger very satisfied with it can definitely not be explained by a simple sentence of interest and reading some professional books and periodicals: this requires not only a broad and solid foundation in anatomy, pathology, physiology and biochemistry, but also a certain level

The accumulation of knowledge in neurosurgery and the extraordinary attention to the research progress of the neurosurgery community are required!

Looking at Locke's exclamation, Tian Lu finally couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart.

Although he has absolute self-confidence, whether it is the information found on the Internet or the admonition of Lei Kang and others, Tian Lu understands the difficulty of applying for a neurosurgery residency position, and he can't help but feel at the bottom of his heart during this time. But looking at the current situation, it seems that my experience will add a lot of points!

After a moment of amazement, Professor Locke slowly returned to his original calm.

The subsequent topic did not enter the track that Tian Lu expected, and Professor Locke did not ask any of the answers to the interview questions they prepared for Tian Lu, but chatted with Tian Lu with interest.

From the differences in the training systems of medical students in China and the United States, to the differences in the cultures of the two countries, from Tian Lu's experience of living in the United States to his experience during his internship in Los Angeles, the content of the discussion is varied and all-encompassing, which makes Tian Lu have an illusion for a while, and now it is not a serious interview, but a casual chat with an elderly man in a foreign country after tea!

I don't know how long it took, but under the guidance of Professor Locke, intentionally or unintentionally, the two slowly talked about their understanding of neuromedicine. The friendly atmosphere in front of him made Tian Lu gradually let go of his initial nervousness, especially after talking about the major he was interested in, he immediately became enthusiastic.

If Tian Lu only worked hard to enter a medical university because he didn't waste his golden finger or God's gift when he first got the residency decision support system, then a few years later, his interest in medicine has long surpassed his original idea!

It is only with the support of this almost obsessive interest that Tian Lu has been able to survive countless days and nights of hard study and smoothly come to this point.

Neuromedicine was originally the subject that Tian Lu was most interested in, and it was also the subject he had already chosen, so he especially strengthened his study in this area during his apprenticeship. Not only neurosurgery, but also neurology, microsurgery and other related disciplines have also been completed in advance. In order to cope with the upcoming interview, Tian Lu also read several authoritative monographs on neurology in reality, and also took advantage of his internship at Ronald Reagan Medical Center in Los Angeles to read a large number of medical literature in recent years.

It can be said that in terms of pure theory alone, Tian Lu's cognition of neuromedicine is definitely not under any medical master in the world.

Of course, theories are just theories, and reality is reality after all.

For the same disease, the treatment method after 80 years is fundamentally different from the present, so in terms of clinical application, the systematic knowledge is basically useless, especially in the real world of neurosurgery, the lack of clinical practice, and the understanding is limited to what is seen in the book and what I gained during my internship in Los Angeles.

But for neuromedicine as a whole, the breadth and depth of knowledge that Tian Lu has mastered is definitely enough. And what is even more commendable is that with the help of the system, this mastery has a strong systematic!

Starting with neuroanatomy, to neurophysiology, neuropathology。。。。。。

The course content of the system is huge and extensive, and strictly follows certain rules, from shallow to deep, from basic to application, and the connection between the front and back is also extremely close.

Tian Lu also learned step by step in strict accordance with the laws of the system.

I have to say that for Tian Lu, Professor Locke is definitely the best listener!

The so-called topic should at least talk about what the participants can understand, otherwise, if one person talks about his own opinions endlessly, and the other person is ignorant and does not understand at all, it can only be a one-sided speech.

In the mock interviews arranged by Lei Kang and them, almost everyone would ask about their understanding of neurosurgery, and under Lei Kang's strong suggestion, Tian Lu even collected their previously published research reports for different directors of different hospitals, in order to be able to do what they liked and please them.

It's just that every mock interview, in this link, Tian Lu is a lack of interest and no passion.

It's okay to talk about some scenes, as long as they go a little deeper in the major, the mock examiners won't understand, and when they talk about those cutting-edge research progresses, Lei Kang and them are even more dazed, looking like they don't know what to do.

That feeling, like having constipation, is really uncomfortable!

Unlike Lei Kang and others, Professor Locke's attainments in neuromedicine are naturally unquestionable, and his decades of immersion in the profession have made him have a wide range of knowledge, especially the research of pituitary tumors, which has always been at the forefront of the world. When I expressed my knowledge and understanding of neuromedicine, I no longer got a look of confusion and helplessness, but nodded in agreement, frowned and questioned, or shook my head in opposition. This feeling that has never been felt before makes Tian Lu very happy!

The symptoms of the cold seemed to slowly disappear in this heated conversation, and Tian Lu, who originally seemed relatively stable, gradually became more energetic as the topic deepened.

The more Tian Lu spoke, the more excited he became, but the more Professor Locke listened, the more frightened he became!

Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Electrophysiology, Minimally Invasive Surgery。。。。。。 The knowledge of various basic disciplines is flexibly and effectively inserted into the neurology specialty. In recent years, the cutting-edge progress in disciplines, and even some theoretical inferences or speculations, have come at your fingertips without any scruples, just like the basic courses of universities!

Suddenly, Professor Locke's mind came to mind the unanimous evaluation of Tian Lu by two other neurosurgery professors:

"An astonishing foundation in medicine and an extremely keen understanding of cutting-edge research in neurosurgery, this is a diligent genius!"
