I, Doctor in the US

Chapter 116: Is There Still a Chance to Become a General Surgery Doctor?


Doctors can actually switch specialties.

As long as the conditions are right and the doctor is willing.

Moreover, there are no issues with knowledge and skill level.

After undergoing a series of assessments.

Switching specialties is no big deal.

What's more, Professor Hansen made a good point.

He plans to recruit a student.

This means Zhou Mo Sen can study under the pretense of undergoing General Surgery specialty training.

This doesn't conflict with his identity as a plastic surgeon.

Or, he could simply hold both positions.

This isn't a conflict in the United States.

In fact, general practitioners are allowed here.

Zhou Mo Sen only has two specialties, no big deal.

But, this situation is a bit unusual.

Generally speaking, many General Surgery doctors in the United States, when switching specialties,

mostly switch to Plastic Surgery.

That's right, Zhou Mo Sen originally made quite a common choice.

Because for General Surgery, following a big hospital is a good choice.

But Plastic Surgery, it's more convenient to open a clinic.

The United States, having the most plastic surgeons globally, naturally also has the most cosmetic clinics.

The medical market in this country is a fully market-driven economy.

However, Professor Hansen's proposal,

is truly quite tempting for Zhou Mo Sen!

The original plan was to focus on General Surgery, intended to undergo specialized training after the residency.

And Zhou Mo Sen was originally a General Surgery doctor.

Returning to his roots is indeed a good thing.

The key is, if Zhou Mo Sen's clinic keeps expanding,

it's better for him to be a General Surgery doctor.

General Surgery has more subdivisions.

Originally, this General Surgery, isn't it just basic surgery?

It's basic surgical science.

Therefore, this would be beneficial for establishing a comprehensive hospital.

But...

"Why?" Zhou Mo Sen asked.

Professor Hansen laughed, "Others would kill for such an opportunity, and you're hesitating?"

Zhou Mo Sen shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "But I already have three clinics now."

This guy... honestly, pretty showy.

Even if Hansen is a professor, an authority in this field,

but your three clinics are truly moneymakers.

Luckily, Professor Hansen just smiled.

"Alright, let me tell you why."

Previously, while chatting with Zhou Mo Sen, this professor had a laptop open on his desk.

Now he turned the laptop around, and then...

"Hi~" A middle-aged Chinese man greeted Zhou Mo Sen from the computer.

It was obvious that this man was at least in his 40s, possibly close to 50.

His hair was thinning in the middle, but he looked energetic.

Zhou Mo Sen immediately recognized him.

"Hello, Professor Feng."

He quickly greeted him.

The person on the computer was John Fung.

A top expert in liver transplantation in the United States and a leading figure in global liver transplantation.

Zhou Mo Sen knew of him before.

Feng John, President of the World Liver Transplant Organization twenty years later.

He has also contributed to our Chinese liver transplantation field.

In short, he's a true big shot.

So, is Professor Hansen's invitation related to Feng John somehow?

Very likely!

Zhou Mo Sen looked surprised and a bit reserved.

These are normal reactions.

Then John Fung spoke directly.

"Dr. Zhou, I am very interested in your laparoscopic liver transplantation surgery.

This is a groundbreaking innovation, its significance is definitely not as simple as just another liver transplant."

Hearing this, Zhou Mo Sen felt proud inside.

Laparoscopic liver transplantation, while not significantly impacting liver transplantation itself,

has two benefits.

One is small incision, another is quick recovery.

As a minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic surgery allows for recovery at least twice as fast as traditional surgery.

Simply put, patients can eat normally the day after surgery.

Therefore, this quicker recovery is of larger significance.

From a medical standpoint.

Faster recovery is undoubtedly a better choice.

Moreover, with the development of many medical fields, minimally invasive surgery is a major trend.

Just like in the field of cardiology.

In the next twenty years.

The development speed of cardiac surgery is far behind that of cardiology.

The reason is quite simple.

Cardiology is less invasive, and stents can be inserted directly after coronary angiography.

Of course, when patients ask doctors

if stents must be placed after angiography, most doctors would say: Not necessarily.

But in reality, it's almost certain unless the patient's condition doesn't allow stent placement.

This approach makes hospitals happy.

Because most need stents after coronary angiography, which means more revenue.

Cardiac surgery isn't as definite, coronary angiography is just a routine check.

Many heart diseases can be treated by both cardiac surgery and cardiology, so more people choose cardiology.

Now with such a notable figure as Feng John interested in laparoscopic liver transplantation,

it makes sense.

And Zhou Mo Sen understood everything, he looked at Professor Hansen.

Hansen didn't hide it, "If you become my student, you can naturally become my assistant, and there's no need for patients to sign an agreement with you."

These words were professionally said.

The reason Zhou Mo Sen was able to perform this liver transplant on Alice was entirely due to Old Howard's authorization.

Otherwise, as a plastic surgeon, Zhou Mo Sen wouldn't be able to perform the surgery.

Unless specified by the patient, there's no other way.

But if he becomes Hansen's student,

Zhou Mo Sen might not be able to call himself a General Surgery specialist for a significant time,

but participating in surgery wouldn't be a problem.

The difference is quite significant.

Plus, with someone like Feng John being interested in the surgery,

he probably wants to get involved to learn a bit.

Thus, Zhou Mo Sen can transition to a General Surgery doctor smoothly.

Thinking this through,

the only thing left is to decide whether to accept or not?

"Could I have some time to think it over?" Zhou Mo Sen still wasn't in a rush.

When he said that, neither Hansen nor John Fung could do anything.

After Hansen and Boss Feng chatted a bit more, the computer was turned off.

But at this point...

"Professor Hansen, don't you have other reasons?"

Upon being asked, Hansen laughed.

"Zhou Mo Sen, you're a smart guy." Hansen admitted, and continued, "It's related to Dr. Bres Lee, since I've mentioned him, you might have guessed."

Zhou Mo Sen nodded.

Of course, he guessed.

Professor Hansen must have been persuaded by someone to act as a mediator,

to ease things between Zhou Mo Sen and Bres Lee.

In fact, when recording programs, Zhou Mo Sen often mocked Dr. Li.

Dr. Zhou consistently held the upper hand.

And now pulling this trick...

Zhou Mo Sen chuckled, "Did Jenny Lee face some election issues?"

Hansen, upon hearing this, was quite surprised, and then laughed as well.

"Her matters are beyond my control, now I'm just asking, are you planning to come back?"

Which is essentially an admission.

Zhou Mo Sen thought it over and grinned.

"I can come back, but I want to set a few conditions."

Now that's... Professor Hansen is an authority, and you're setting conditions!

But at this moment, Hansen just smiled and nodded.

"As long as it's within the medical field, I can agree to it!"
