What transpired at the hotel was unknown to them; they were simply focused on their duties, methodically moving from one patient room to the next.

"Dr. Qu, for this child's nasal hemangioma, which is a classic embryonic remnant complicated by a capillary hemangioma, I personally feel that fiber-optic insertion irradiation would be a better approach!"

In one of the rooms, Zhang Yang spoke softly after examining a patient, with Shi Yan offering her opinion beside him.

Dr. Qu didn't speak, merely nodding continuously.

The one assessing Zhang Yang and Shi Yan today wasn't Dr. Qu; he had volunteered for the role, and the Director only agreed after Dr. Qu insisted. Dr. Qu was intensely curious about Zhang Yang.

This was the perfect chance to observe him closely.

"Fiber-optic insertion? But we are performing laser irradiation—many people say laser treatment is superior!"

The child's parent, standing nearby, couldn't help but interject.

"Each method has its merits; every patient's situation is different, and the chosen method will vary accordingly. This is just my personal view!"

Zhang Yang smiled faintly and said no more, moving on.

However, his words had been noted by Dr. Qu. In just a short time, having seen few patients, Zhang Yang had already offered a significant number of sound suggestions.

Take the hemangioma patient, for instance: a rare nasal hemangioma, who had already undergone laser surgery and was in the postoperative recovery phase.

Post-surgery recovery offered several options, including both laser irradiation and fiber-optic insertion.

Previously, the child had consistently received laser irradiation—about ten minutes daily, with seven days constituting one course. While slower, it was deemed safer.

But hearing Zhang Yang now, the parent felt fiber-optic insertion seemed quite promising too, as Zhang Yang’s reasoning—that every case differs—made perfect sense. If it were purely an embryonic remnant nasal hemangioma, laser irradiation would be correct, but since the child also presented with capillary hemangioma features, fiber-optic insertion might be superior.

Fiber-optic insertion irradiation was gentler and yielded better recovery results.

Dr. Qu quietly documented this patient’s case, intending to suggest it to the attending physician later. He wouldn't elaborate much in front of the family.

Even Zhang Yang had stopped at the crucial point. Pressing further would be crossing a line.

Moving on, Zhang Yang offered several more pertinent suggestions for other patients, all recorded meticulously by Dr. Qu.

Dr. Qu was utterly speechless regarding Zhang Yang’s profound knowledge. Zhang Yang’s performance simply did not resemble that of a student.

The morning passed quickly. The busy students finally earned the respite of lunch and rest.

During the meal, discussions flourished. Each student complained lightly about being tired, yet smiles adorned their faces.

During their usual internships, opportunities this demanding were rare. Even when exhausted, it was usually from menial chores. Such direct engagement with patients, exhausting though it was, rarely occurred.

This practical experience would greatly aid their future growth.

Each of them was an elite selected by their respective schools. After this practice, they were destined to become pillars in whatever hospitals they joined.

The afternoon session commenced swiftly. Zhang Yang and Shi Yan switched departments, heading this time to Pediatric Respiratory Medicine. Upon learning this, Shi Yan even quipped that this was Zhang Yang’s specialty.

Zhang Yang was assigned to the asthma track—a global challenge. Many people naturally presumed respiratory medicine was his strongest area.

Zhang Yang merely smiled in response. Only he knew what he was truly best at, and there was no need to explain it to others.

In the afternoon, Dr. Wang accompanied them.

Dr. Wang and his colleagues were Emergency Department physicians; their presence seemed somewhat irregular. However, they had actively requested to join, and since the superiors agreed, there was no recourse.

His reason for being there stemmed from Dr. Qu.

During lunch, Dr. Qu had voiced many candid reflections, even admitting that he himself was inferior to Zhang Yang in some respects.

While there is no absolute first in literature or second in martial arts, the medical field operates similarly. To willingly admit someone else’s superiority indicates that person must have accomplished something truly remarkable to earn such deference.

Dr. Wang was somewhat unconvinced and volunteered to take over Dr. Qu’s supervisory role in the afternoon, focusing his observation keenly on Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang did not disappoint him that afternoon. Not only did he offer sound assessments for every patient, but he also pointed out two minor errors in patient management.

What made him awkward was that one of the patients involved had been admitted by Dr. Wang himself in the ER, and the error pointed out was his own.

Zhang Yang's performance was duly noted in their reports. Of course, Dr. Wang omitted his own minor misstep; people value face, and he wouldn't publicize an embarrassing incident. He made minor adjustments to the report, but these tweaks did not affect Zhang Yang’s overall evaluation.

For the evening shift, Zhang Yang switched departments again. With this final night shift complete, their visit to the Children's Hospital was officially over.

Nothing unexpected occurred that night. Following the shift, Zhang Yang returned with the rest of the group by transport, avoiding any further accusations of arrogance or disregard for discipline.

Yesterday, his detractors included not only the teachers but also several students who had whispered doubts.

Jealousy, too, abounds among students.

The night passed uneventfully. The next day, Zhang Yang and the cohort boarded a bus; they were scheduled to spend a day and a half at the Shanghai Oncology Hospital.

Shanghai Oncology Hospital was a renowned major hospital in Shanghai, one of the first to achieve a Grade A tertiary level rating. Securing a practical placement here was difficult; without the Ministry of Health's assistance, they wouldn't have gained entry.

This stop was critically important. Before departing, Zhu Daoqi had issued extensive instructions.

The oncology hospital had a higher proportion of elderly patients, demanding greater patience. Given the specific nature of oncology, they needed to maintain composure when interacting with patients, as certain remarks were absolutely forbidden.

The oncology hospital staff had been alerted: any student speaking carelessly would be unceremoniously expelled.

The minibus soon carried the students away. How they performed in the coming days was entirely up to them.

The teachers returned to the conference room to review their students' performance from the previous day.

Although they had questioned the students individually, self-reporting differed from the teachers' assessments. This activity, beyond inter-school competition, was primarily aimed at mutual improvement.

Understanding where mistakes were made allowed for correction and progress.

No penalties were issued initially. The teacher responsible for discipline slowly detailed the performance of all students.

Finally, he mentioned Changjing University and Zhang Yang.

Regarding Zhang Yang’s performance, the designation of 'Excellent' seemed insufficient. The Children’s Hospital had provided a lengthy commentary detailing all the areas where Zhang Yang excelled.

The command center subsequently decided to award Zhang Yang and Changjing University an additional five points.

When announcing the bonus points, the teacher sounded somewhat reluctant.

Yesterday, out of over a hundred students, sixty suffered point deductions, while only a dozen received additions. This indicated that earning extra points was no easy feat.

Among those receiving bonuses, the highest after Zhang Yang was only two points, awarded for a very distinguished performance where a hidden severe condition was uncovered in a patient.

But Zhang Yang was directly awarded five points.

Besides Zhang Yang, Yin Yong from Changjing University also received a point addition—though small, it was better than a deduction.

With this, Changjing University accounted for two of the dozen students who gained points, and they had the highest total addition.

With only a handful of students gaining points, some schools had none at all, yet Changjing University secured two—making envy almost inevitable.

Changjing University also incurred deductions, but very minor ones. Only Wang Lu lost half a point. Calculated this way, Changjing University had now surpassed Tongji Medical College, emerging as the leader among all schools.

With their temporary first place standing, Zhu Daoqi's smile stretched from ear to ear.

This result was completely beyond his expectations and led many to resent their apparent 'dog-shit luck.' If their school had a student like Zhang Yang, they could take first place too.

Zhang Yang alone had earned them over seven points in a day and a half.

After offsetting yesterday's penalties and rewards, they had a net gain of two points, entirely thanks to Zhang Yang.

The day passed quickly. After the night shift, many students collapsed into bed immediately. Due to time constraints, their schedules at the hospital were packed.

Frankly, they were more overworked than regular doctors.

Under such exhaustion, no one had the energy for anything else upon return. Even the teachers refrained from disturbing them, allowing them proper rest for the next day’s performance.

Unbeknownst to them, many doctors at the Oncology Hospital were already inquiring about Zhang Yang’s name.

At the Oncology Hospital, Zhang Yang was even busier than at the Children's Hospital. In his afternoon clinic alone, he admitted over ten patients and consulted on many more.

His efficiency surpassed that of many other doctors in the hospital.

That wasn't all. His management of every patient was spot-on, and he even resolved an acute emergency case that had terrified the nurses and left the accompanying doctor momentarily stunned.

It was Zhang Yang’s decisive action at the critical moment that alleviated the patient's suffering and saved the hospital from a potential crisis.

Though this sudden case wasn't immediately life-threatening, severe complications could have led to paralysis. Regardless, Zhang Yang's performance was noteworthy, and his profile quickly reached the hospital's senior management.

Ordinary doctors knew little, but the higher-ups knew more.

Upon learning it was Zhang Yang, they weren't surprised; he was a student personally overseeing a major research project—a national rarity. They had also heard that Old Zhou from the Children's Hospital had been continuously sending commendation letters and secretly maneuvering to recruit this student.

Learning this, they were even more generous, relaying Zhang Yang’s performance accurately to the activity command center. Several major figures at the Oncology Hospital also began discreetly gathering all available information on Zhang Yang.
