Chapter 464: Chapter 271: The Second Half’s Topic: Hybrid Technology
The experts on the presiding committee could basically see the extent of Wang Weiwei’s abilities. His understanding of this brand-new Hybrid Technology was far too shallow.
The experts on the committee exchanged a look and decided not to make things any more difficult for Wang Weiwei.
"Wang Weiwei, we have finished our questions. You may return to the waiting room and await your score."
How could Wang Weiwei not see that he and the deans were talking past each other? They had given up on continuing the exchange. ’As they say, when minds don’t meet...’ Suppressing his bitterness and helplessness, Wang Weiwei thanked the examiners and left the examination hall.
The examiners began to score him.
A short while later, after the scoring and statistics teams tabulated the results, Wang Weiwei’s score was announced: 76 points!
Seeing this score, the entire audience in the main venue grew tense.
"This second half of the competition is so intense."
"This topic looks hard, and in reality, it’s not at all simple!"
"Yeah, I thought Director Wang’s answer was perfect, but it turns out the examiners didn’t think he hit the key points at all."
"Based on the presiding committee’s comments, it seems the key scoring points for this topic are in traditional surgical techniques and interventional therapy."
"Director Wang’s theoretical knowledge isn’t systematic enough. He lacks an understanding of cutting-edge research, so he had no choice but to pick a concrete, narrow entry point."
"Still, with only twenty minutes, being able to explain one point in such detail is already impressive!"
The audience grew nervous along with them. The afternoon’s examiners were so strict.
In the Jin Province District area, Shao Yuqiao and Shen Siyuan both began to feel nervous for Wu Ting.
"The difficulty of this topic is too high. It demands such a broad range of knowledge from the candidates. Besides clinical experience, you need a systematic framework of understanding. Wu Ting is only skilled in a few cardiac surgical techniques. How is he going to answer this?"
Shen Siyuan couldn’t come up with an answer himself. All he could say was that this was truly the national skills competition. You could prepare meticulously for the first half, but the second half relied entirely on one’s usual foundation and accumulated knowledge.
Amidst the crowd’s discussion, the second contestant took the stage: Director Chen Xiaolin from the Wu City Jinzhou Heart Disease Hospital in the Huazhong Region.
The topic for the second half of the competition was the same.
After hearing the topic, Director Chen also began to think nervously.
Compared to the Northwest Region, the Wu City Jinzhou Heart Disease Hospital made more frequent and more cutting-edge use of traditional surgery and interventional therapy.
After briefly discussing the concept of aortic disease, Chen Xiaolin mentioned a brand-new treatment plan that his hospital had attempted to implement.
"For my presentation, I would like to analyze a specific surgery. When faced with elderly patients with multiple comorbidities and complex lesions, traditional surgery carries great risk. Therefore, our hospital has attempted a new surgical model that combines open surgery with endovascular interventional therapy..."
"By combining open surgery and interventional therapy, we can avoid the damage caused by deep hypothermic circulatory arrest... It’s just that this treatment method has seen too little clinical application, and I personally lack sufficient validation of its effectiveness..."
"However, I believe this is a forward-thinking direction, one that offers relative safety, minimal trauma, and fewer complications for treating complex aortic diseases."
Twenty minutes is a very short time. After finishing his discussion of this case study, Director Chen could only give a hasty conclusion.
After Director Chen finished, the presiding committee was relatively satisfied. Although he hadn’t yet formed a clear concept into a complete, systematic understanding, Director Chen’s clinical intuition was quite good.
Dean Qian of Lin Province Pinfan Hospital began his commentary.
"Although Director Chen does not have a systematic understanding of Hybrid Technology, he was still able to use an appropriate case study to give us something to think deeply about. Through this case, he has shown us the potential and the clinical exploratory significance of combining traditional surgery with interventional therapy..."
"Director Chen, have you considered conducting research in this field to expand our Jin Country Heart Surgery’s in-depth studies on Hybrid Technology, so that we can form our own expert consensus and clinical practice guidelines sooner?"
Dean Qian held Director Chen in high regard. His ability to quickly and accurately find the key points the presiding committee wanted to hear showed that his reactions, thinking, and fundamental skills were all excellent.
Chen Xiaolin went with the flow, expressing his humble stance and his great anticipation and aspiration for Hybrid Technology.
After some discussion, the presiding committee also got a measure of Director Chen’s level. He had some knowledge and understanding of Hybrid Technology, was full of anticipation for it, and possessed long-term motivation to learn.
As Chen Xiaolin left to wait, Wang Weiwei also returned to his seat in the main venue.
A short while later, Chen Xiaolin’s score was out: 85 points!
A very good score!
Next came the evaluations for a few more doctors, with scores basically hovering around 85 points.
It wasn’t until the directors from the Northern Region took the stage that everyone understood what a real gap in skill looked like!
Associate Director Huang Qian from Jiuhua Hospital had been exposed to Hybrid Technology early on. She had also spent some time in advanced study with the "Application of Hybrid Technology in Cardiovascular Surgery" research group at Fuwai Hospital—as an assistant, of course.
However, this experience had given her a comprehensive understanding of Hybrid Technology.
Her answer was no longer just a case study, but a comprehensive exposition on the topic.
The presiding committee was also very satisfied with Huang Qian’s performance. It was clear she was ready to tackle the challenges of Hybrid Technology and could join the research group as a full member at any time.
