I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

This pathology professor in front of me, is he trying to frame me?

Chapter 413 Empty Promises?

Work outside for a few years, and once you've achieved results and reached a sufficient level of expertise, then return to the university hospital.

For a department head or professor, this would be a perfectly normal arrangement.

It's not easy to perform surgery at a university hospital like the one affiliated with Southeast University, especially for someone who has just graduated and obtained their medical license.

Therefore, after the initial stage of medical training, specialist doctors are trained, usually for no more than six months, and then they are transferred from the university hospital by the chief professor to affiliated hospitals for rotation.

However, it felt somewhat incongruous for Professor Yano to say this.

If the future head of cardiac surgery were to say this to him, it would be perfectly reasonable.

However, Professor Yano's words made Aki Tomoya begin to ponder.

Following Professor Yano's advice, I started with a medical training program, followed his arrangements to go to the designated hospital, and then trained while waiting for the right opportunity to return to the university hospital, which Professor Yano would then arrange.

If he agrees, from now on he will be Professor Yano's man. If he returns to the Department of Cardiac Surgery at the University of Tokyo in the future, he will be an outsider, even if he is from the University of Tokyo's Department of Science.

However, on paper, he is Yano's colleague, a professor of pathology in the medical school.

The difference between working at an outside hospital for several years and being asked to do so by the department head and professor, and being asked to do so by Professor Yano, is enormous.

Will he follow the established procedures and return to the university hospital to wait out his remaining years, or will he emerge as an unpredictable force in the cardiac surgery department of the university hospital...?

Professor Yano gave him two directions.

"In the early stages of a medical residency, you can rotate through different departments. However, if you go outside, you will be doing residency rotations, but I will arrange for you to study in cardiac surgery."

Seeing that Aki Tomoya looked hesitant, Professor Yano skillfully took out some chips.

Those who can get into the Third Affiliated University of Southeast University are not stupid; on the contrary, they are among the most outstanding young people in the country.

Issuing bad checks won't work on them.

To believe someone's empty promises and still get into the University of Tokyo, you can only say that you're not crazy, but you're a bit naive.

Most of the people he trained were internal medicine specialists.

Some of them failed in university hospitals, such as Okajima, who couldn't adapt to the university hospital environment. He eventually returned to the medical school and was hired by Okajima as an associate professor to help him with academic research and writing papers.

In the Department of Internal Medicine affiliated with the University of Tokyo, there were many of his prized students, as well as professors and directors who were satisfied with the talents he recommended.

While maintaining his prestige within the medical school, he also continuously expanded his influence within the university hospital.

"Just consider it as me recommending and training talent for our hospital and our department heads and professors."

Professor Yano's complex network of relationships within the medical school and university hospital underpins his prestige.

However, Aki Tomoya did not feel any excitement about becoming a new pawn for the other side.

Because in Okajima's hints before his arrival, it's unknown how many people Professor Yano had said the same thing to.

However, judging from the fact that Okajima is still in the pathology classroom, perhaps Professor Yano is still a sentimental person?

If we really have to accept the other party's arrangement, then we really have to give it our all.

Because if you don't make yourself stand out, you might be forgotten in the future.

"Professor Yano, where am I going?"

"The atmosphere in private hospitals is much more relaxed than in our hospital."

"Whose medical team will I be learning from?"

It wasn't an individual, but a medical team.

Since it's a private hospital, then we need to see how skilled the cardiac surgery team is.

Professor Yano chuckled softly, as if he had expected this: "The former head professor of cardiac surgery at the University of Tokyo Hospital, a friend of mine."

Are they people poached by private hospitals with big-spending offers?

This suggests that it is a relatively relaxed private hospital with high welfare benefits, and the medical team is led by the former head of cardiac surgery at the University of Tokyo Hospital.

If you're studying there, then there's no problem.

Most importantly, nominally the first two years are still resident training and rotations in other departments, but because of Professor Yano's relationship, this stage can be skipped and he can directly enter the Department of Cardiac Surgery.

"Professor Yano, you're being too kind to me, it's making me a little scared..."

Aki Tomoya suddenly laughed, his eyes still full of doubt.

He felt there was no problem joining Professor Yano now, but the other party was taking such good care of him, first by offering him a relatively relaxed private hospital, where the cardiac surgery team was led by a chief professor who came from a university hospital.

Doesn't that sound tempting?

It looks so damn tempting!

It was so generous that even Aki Tomoya couldn't believe it and was filled with doubts.

"So you guys need to work hard there and not forget me, otherwise the best outcome for you will probably be to stay there forever. But that doesn't seem so bad, after all, the benefits from private hospitals are pretty good, and at least you're still a student I recommended, hehehehe..."

Professor Yano smiled slightly.

In reality, his gift was nothing more than a recommendation, telling an old friend that there was a good student here who could go there.

But if Aki Tomoya can't demonstrate the corresponding value there, then so be it; he might forget him, or perhaps the department head there might forget him too.

Of course, it's not exactly cheating him. After all, it's a well-established private hospital. Even if he can't secure a place in the top tier of hospitals, he can at least stay there and make money.

Moreover, there are many people from Tokyo University there, and if they are sensible, they won't be ostracized.

In Professor Yano's view, he was simply giving advice, not how much he was going to give, but how much he was willing to give in return for Aki Tomoya's value.

As for now, he doesn't need to pay much; he's just providing Aki Tomoya with a good opportunity.

A private hospital with high welfare benefits, a medical department led by the former head of cardiac surgery professor, and a relatively relaxed atmosphere. Aki Tomoya has dedicated himself to this hospital for four years. He can help him get into the department earlier in some procedures, as compensation for these years.

If Aki Tomoya can increase his value through this approach, and still has the idea of ​​returning to the university hospital, then that suits him perfectly, as he can continue to gradually expand his influence from the internal medicine department to the surgery department.

The premise is that Aki Tomoya is truly outstanding enough to support the Yano faction's ambitions together with Professor Yano and his people.

"Therefore, if I am to accept Professor Yano's kindness, I must work even harder."

“Aki-kun, you’ve been working for me here for four years now, since Kamikura-kun recommended you. It’s been quite a while. Consider this a small reward from me. You can exchange it for something else now.”

Of course, he couldn't choose not to go; Professor Yano could give him something else as a reward for what he had done for him over the years.

Chapter 414 For Whom Do We Dedicate Ourselves?

"You guys need to keep up the good work there..."

Aki Tomoya recalled what Professor Yano had just said.

He said "you all," not "you," which means there are other people going to the cardiac surgery department of that private hospital whose name is still unknown.

Who else among the contemporaries had contact with Professor Yano?

No, it could also be his senior, since Professor Yano said the same thing to more than just him.

Rather than asking Professor Yano for any other favors in return for his contributions to the pathology classroom and later the pathology research lab over the years, he was more curious about who else "you" were.

"Professor Yano, do I have someone from the same period as me?"

"Yes, you want to know, but that person's situation is a little different from yours. His father is a professor."

So, he envied people whose fathers were professors at universities or university hospitals.

Having a relationship makes all the difference.

"You should know him, right? Mashima Shin. You two were classmates, both from Keio University. It's interesting that you ended up at our University of Tokyo."

Professor Yano seemed to want to laugh as he spoke.

The relationship between the University of Tokyo and Keio University is far less significant than their relationship with Jung Yong University.

"So, it's interesting that you have a professor friend at Qingda University..."

Aki Tomoya thought to himself.

He did know them, not only as contemporaries but also as good friends.

Majima's father is from Keio University, but he is a chief professor at the affiliated hospital of Johoku Medical University. Majima had originally said that he was going to go to the affiliated hospital of Johoku Medical University, but Professor Yano said this, so is he going to change his mind?

"Professor Yano, I think I've thought it through. I will try my best to make sure you don't forget me."

He was willing to accept Professor Yano's arrangement.

The relatively relaxed private hospital offers high welfare benefits. The team is led by a former director and professor from the affiliated hospital of Southeast University. Most importantly, they enjoy the unspoken rules. They are nominally accepted into the rotation system of resident training doctors, but in reality, they are joined into the cardiac surgery department in advance for specialist training.

To put it bluntly, it means that people from the University of Tokyo are treated like family members in a medical institution led by someone who graduated from the University of Tokyo, and receive certain privileges as one of their own.

Should he go and enjoy the benefits, or spend two years in the university hospital and wait to be transferred out, then compete with his "own people" in the department, or hone his skills in a private hospital and return to the university hospital as a member of Yano's faction, to spread his influence in cardiac surgery and receive his preferential treatment in resources?

The former is based on ability and years of service, while the latter is based solely on ability and how much Professor Yano can contribute.

They're about evenly matched.

He could imagine what his situation would be like if he returned to the university hospital as a member of the Yano faction, specifically to the Department of Cardiac Surgery.

Whether you follow the established routine at a university hospital or wait for a breakthrough later, the prerequisite is the same: sufficient ability.
