Department of Neurosurgery, Professor Francis' Office.

As a leading figure in the Department of Neurosurgery at Ronald Reagan Medical Center, Professor Francis is not too old, and although his hair is a little gray, his body is still as strong and energetic as a middle-aged man. At this moment, he was sitting at his hard walnut desk, holding a blue envelope in his hand, and looked at the young Chinese in front of him with a curious expression.

"Professor Francis, is there something you called me over?"

Being stared at inexplicably for a while, and he was also the boss of the hospital's neurosurgery, which made Tian Lu feel a little uncomfortable, and finally couldn't help but ask.

Francis did not answer this question directly, but said with a smile: "Tian, I have come into contact with many Chinese, including some of your highly renowned neurosurgeons in China, as well as some Chinese doctors in our hospital, in my impression, they are often very humble, and their humility even makes me sometimes feel that they are completely unconfident in themselves. But you're different, and you feel completely different from them, and you seem to be very high-profile, don't you?"

What is this called a problem?

Tian Lu frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "Professor Francis, I don't think there's anything wrong, can you give me some hints?"

"No, no, no. ”

Francis hurriedly shook his head and explained: "I didn't say that you did anything wrong, please rest assured of this." It's just that after you finished your general surgery clerkship last week, Professor Carter himself came to me once and told me that you had at least seven arguments with others in just two months with him, and even once with Professor Carter himself, which does not seem to be in line with the traditional concept of the Chinese, and I wonder, why are you doing this?"

"That's because they're wrong!"

Tian Lu said without hesitation: "I don't know what Professor Carter evaluated, but if you can investigate, you will know that I am correct in all the arguments!"

"Yes, the outcome of all the arguments proves that you are right. ”

Professor Francis nodded, a curious glint in his eyes, "That's what makes me weird. If you're a long-time surgeon, I think that's fine, but it's surprising that you're just a trainee student who hasn't even applied for residency. ”

"In fact, I just took the step2CS exam last week and will soon be eligible to apply for a residency position. ”

Listening to Francis's words, Tian Linlu corrected: "And I don't think correcting their mistakes has anything to do with my identity, in my eyes, there is only right and wrong, there is no difference in identity." ”

"Oh, I'm sorry!"

Francis nodded apologetically, but continued, "Maybe you misunderstood my wording, I'm just curious." Those questions cover physiology, anatomy, pathology and many other aspects, which belong to relatively obscure content, and the argument between you and Professor Carter and even the latest research results just published last month, I don't think even senior attending physicians are so sure, where do you get your confidence?"

Hearing this question, Tian Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that Professor Francis was here to ask for guilt, although he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, but after all, he was an apprentice here, and he was still a little worried.

Although this was only the third time he had met Professor Francis, through McBerg's understanding and these few encounters, Tian Lu still liked the old white man, at least as a specialist, he did not look at himself with contempt from the beginning like some physicians. After thinking about it carefully, Tian Lu Zhengse said: "Self-confidence comes from the recognition of personal efforts. What's the use of learning if I'm not sure of what I've worked so hard to learn?"

Tian Lu's tone was very loud, and there was also an indifferent look on his face, which made Professor Francis more and more surprised. After pondering for a moment, Francis smiled and said, "Professor McBerg said that you are a hardworking genius, and it seems that he is not wrong. ”

Tian Lu smiled and did not answer.

Professor Francis picked up the envelope in his hand, got up and handed it to Tian Lu: "This is what Professor Carter asked me to give you, since you have completed the step2CS exam, you must be ready to apply for the residency training position this year, right?" I think these things will be very useful to you!"

Tian Lu heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to take it.

Seeing that Tian Lu just took it and didn't open it immediately, Professor Francis raised the corners of his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "What? Don't you want to know what's in it right away?"

After hesitating for a moment, Tian Lu nodded and opened the envelope.

There were only two thin sheets of paper inside, but after seeing the head-up title and the final signature, Tian Lu was overjoyed!

Letters of recommendation!

This is a letter of recommendation that Tian Lu asked Professor Carter to write before he left the Department of General Surgery!

Seeing the surprise on Tian Lu's face, Professor Francis smiled with great appreciation and said, "This is not the kind of formulaic recommendation letter, Professor Carter has a very high opinion of you in it. With his prestige in the field of general surgery, coupled with Professor McBerg's letter of recommendation, I think that with your previous double ninety-nine results, it should not be a problem to find an excellent hospital!".

"Thank you very much!"

Tian Lu's heart was full of joy. A high score on the USMLE exam does not mean that you will definitely find a good hospital, especially for a foreigner, it is extremely important to have a letter of recommendation from a prominent person.

Seeing Tian Lu's happy appearance, Francis suddenly felt much more cheerful.

"Okay, starting this week, you're going to be doing a neurosurgery internship, and hopefully in two months, you'll be able to get me to willingly issue you another letter of recommendation!"

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

"How was your first day in neurosurgery like?"

Lei Kang leaned lazily back in his chair, his eyes involuntarily aimed at a hot white girl in the distance, but he asked absentmindedly.

The warm sunshine, fragrant coffee, and everything after work made Tian Lu feel that the world was so beautiful, he couldn't help but nod his head and exclaimed: "It's great! It's really great! Whether it's equipment or other conditions, it's much better than Director Liao's!"

On the first day of his neurosurgery internship, Tian Lu truly felt the pearl of this surgical system!

The fully electronic office environment, advanced academic conference rooms, and spacious and bright wards are indeed in very good condition. As a teaching hospital that attaches great importance to clinical and basic research, the Ronald Reagan Medical Center receives a large number of donations every year, and the hospital spends all of its money on these hardware facilities.

"I didn't ask you that!"

As a physician in the hospital, Lei Kang naturally knew how good the conditions of neurosurgery were, he glanced at Tian Lu and said, "I'm asking about people, those people in neurosurgery, how do you feel?"

Tian Lu was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "What else? It's similar to general surgery." There are two people who are very friendly, willing to help, and willing to communicate with me, which feels good. Most of the others。。。。。。 Hehe, I guess even if I stood in front of them, I would not exist, right?"

"It's pretty much what I thought. ”

Lei Kang smiled dumbly: "These people, their eyes are all on the top of their heads, don't pay attention to them." ”

Tian Lu smiled and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, I understand all this." I'm just a trainee, as long as I can learn, it doesn't matter what they think!"

In this regard, Tian Lu has always been very indifferent. He's just ******** absorbing what he needs right now.

Like general surgery, the academic atmosphere of neurosurgery is also unusually strong, there is a lecture every morning, on Tuesday invited experts to make the latest research progress report in the professional field or marginal disciplines, and on Thursday is a case analysis meeting of Professor Francis, it can be said that as long as you work hard enough, you can learn a lot of knowledge every day.

Of course, for Tian Lu, those basic lectures on neuropathology, neuroradiology, or lectures are not of great significance, even if it is a cutting-edge progress, it is also antique knowledge in the system. But for these learning opportunities, he never gave up, and listened carefully every day when he was in general surgery, especially those case analysis meetings, and devoted 100% attention!

What he lacks now is a clinical way of thinking and practical experience.

What is learned in the system is, after all, theoretical knowledge, and practical application still requires a certain amount of experience. Perhaps it will be much easier for Tian Lu when the clinical diagnostic support system is opened in the future, but at least for now, he needs that kind of experience.

Seeing Tian Lu's very clear look, Lei Kang smiled and said: "Although this place in the United States is sometimes disgusting, it is also very reluctant sometimes." If nothing else, it's worth it: you have money! Their medical system is very problematic, arguably one of the most irrational in the world, with high and wasteful medical costs, and a huge amount of money is spent every year. However, the rich people in the United States like to donate money to hospitals, especially famous hospitals, which receive a lot of donations every year, so the equipment is extremely advanced, far from being comparable in China. ”

Nodding silently, Tian Lu agreed with Lei Kang's words.

Indeed, there is a big difference between China and here, which is not only reflected in the gap in hardware, but also in the difference between the system and the environment.

For example, in the medical treatment system, because of the extremely uneven distribution of domestic medical resources, some difficult patients will run to first-tier cities in groups, and also because of the gap in the medical level of hospitals, patients in the city also like to run to large hospitals regardless of major or minor diseases, which has caused the phenomenon of difficulty in registration and hospitalization. Here, on the other hand, the referral system is implemented in which the initial diagnosis is carried out by one's own family doctor or community hospital, and if it cannot be handled, it will be transferred to a large hospital.

Doctors in large hospitals in China are tired every day for the sake of economic benefits, and it is difficult to ensure the quality of medical care because they have to deal with a large number of patients, but the situation here is much better.

"To put it bluntly, it's all about money!"

Tian Lu secretly smiled bitterly. Didn't even he come all the way here for those advanced research equipment?

The two were chatting, and the mobile phone suddenly rang, Tian Lu smiled slightly apologetically, pressed the answer button to his ear, and immediately there was a high-pitched scream inside!

"It's over!

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

I searched on the Internet, thank you for the recommendation of the factory director, hehe, there are more than 100 collections in one day, it seems that it is your credit, but unfortunately I can't register an account, I can't post a post, so I have to thank you here.

Declare that I'm a male, and I didn't transfer it from any website, so don't guess. This is my second book, and it's an amateur pastime, so I don't think about writing about things I don't like, like **** or something.

Hehe, I studied medicine, although I didn't become a doctor in the end, but there are many doctors in my family, and the work I am engaged in is also related.

This book is a work of personal interest, and I will write it down carefully.
