This wasn't the first or second time he'd faced a situation where he was fighting two opponents at once.
The exchange meeting between Southeast University and Shunda University proceeded smoothly. During this meeting, the "iron triangle" of Southeast University's Science Class 3 demonstrated unprecedented unity!
Chapter 340 Behave Yourself
The exchange meeting with Shunda University included a public discussion class, with people from both sides specifically responsible for recording it.
Choose a topic and have a discussion in class, scheduled for the afternoon.
This is one of the arrangements.
Takagi scoffed at this, saying, "An exchange meeting is an exchange meeting, so why bother having classes together? It's so boring!"
"So this is an exchange meeting between students from the two schools, not a social gathering."
Aki Tomoya also relentlessly attacked Takagi later on.
Since it was an exchange meeting with other schools, we were naturally doing serious business.
Takagi treated the exchange meeting as a social gathering, which is clearly a problematic mindset.
The open discussion class didn't focus on textbook topics, but rather on the recent MERS outbreak in Japan, discussing topics outside their current basic medical studies.
Perhaps because it was an exchange meeting, the lecturer wanted to talk about medical events that happened in Japan recently, outside of the textbook.
The appearance of MERS in Japan certainly caused quite a stir.
"Putting this out at this time, people who don't know the situation might think the lecturer is slapping ourselves in the face."
Majima muttered something to himself.
The reason he said that is very simple: Toyo University is from the same lineage as them, and its affiliated hospital is, simply put, one of the hospitals associated with their Toyo University School of Medicine.
Throughout Japan, there are countless hospitals affiliated with the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Medicine.
The relationship between university hospitals is like a pyramid, with the University of Tokyo Hospital undoubtedly at the top.
The negative impact of the incident on Toyo University Hospital can be described as reaping what it sowed, and similarly, most of the hospitals associated with it were also affected.
However, the impact on the University of Tokyo was not so obvious. Since they caused the trouble, they naturally had to take responsibility. In addition, after the previous director of the Toyo University Hospital resigned, the University of Tokyo specially appointed a new director to carry out a thorough overhaul from top to bottom and to prevent them from losing face again.
Using the MERS incident as the topic of discussion in today's open class shows the lecturer's audacity, especially since he half-jokingly mentioned Toyo University, dragging them out to criticize them mercilessly.
Those who knew the inside story almost misunderstood the lecturer on stage as a spy sent by Shunda University because of his digression.
They know perfectly well the relationship between Toyo University Hospital and their university hospital, yet they still make fun of it.
Simply using MERS as a topic of "extracurricular discussion" is fine, but deliberately criticizing Toyo University is a bit suggestive.
Therefore, a large number of people at the University of Tokyo deliberately brought up that incident by asking, "Are you perhaps the mole?" in order to embarrass their own people.
However, they were all overthinking it.
The lecturer spoke very seriously, including the painful lessons MERS taught them, and the challenges that lie ahead for medical advancement.
"In recent years, research on antiviral treatment strategies for highly pathogenic viral infections such as SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and Ebola virus has been a pressing hot topic and a significant challenge..."
"All of you here will become doctors in the future, whether you choose clinical practice or research. We are not studying Western medicine, but modern medicine. It is rigorous, but also full of uncertainties. Our current medicine is very advanced, but it also has limitations. In my experience, doctors must handle every situation with care. For example, the introduction of MERS by the Dongyang University Hospital may have had good intentions, but poor management brought huge hidden dangers to research and those around them..."
"Pay attention, future doctors. You will face not only the rigor of medicine, but also its uncertainties and limitations. I hope you can all learn from the lessons of your predecessors."
Although I knew the lecturer was just being polite, I didn't find such polite remarks offensive.
That might be what he really wanted to say, or it might just be a polite way of putting things on the topic at the conference.
Without overthinking it, these words sound quite profound.
The lecturer specifically mentioned the complete death data due to the MERS leak, and the helplessness of doctors at Toyo University Hospital when facing infected patients.
Even a cold can kill, but a small oversight in that incident killed more than one person.
He said everything he could about the issues revealed in that incident.
The advancements, limitations, rigor, and uncertainties of modern medicine.
He told the people from Sun Yat-sen University and Dongda University present that they shouldn't think that the six years in the university's medical school were the end of the road, because there was no end to this path.
Cancer, one of the biggest problems plaguing humanity today, remains one of the greatest challenges.
This was a very formal exchange meeting, and everyone present was a future doctor. Whether they were going to clinical practice or research, they could not afford to be careless.
Clinical doctors are on the front lines, a battlefield without gunfire, where the air is filled with the smell of disinfectant. They fight against patients and diseases, and when they step onto the operating table, it is the patients who entrust their lives to them.
So he realistically told this group of people that if they wanted to avoid being bothered by hospital administrators for medical disputes in the future, they had better be careful.
As for those who are pursuing research and development, the case of Toyo University has already served as a lesson.
Can those infected with MERS due to the virus leak rest in peace?
He stated frankly that the investigation revealed more than just this one accident; there were many others that had not been reported.
The lessons learned in blood are still fresh in our minds.
"University hospitals may not be as terrifying as you think. At least while you're in university, you should remember that you will become a doctor, not an unknown corpse under the white tower."
Aki Tomoya seemed to sense that meaning from the lecturer's words.
The White Tower?
A bunch of students shouldn't be thinking about the White Tower. They should calm down and think about becoming doctors in the future, instead of climbing the White Tower!
It seems the lecturer had wanted to say this for a while. Although the hierarchical system of university hospitals is indeed strict, and he had been through it himself, it is still essentially a hospital, and they are essentially medical students who will become doctors in the future.
Today's open discussion class was probably the most formal part of this exchange with Shunda University.
It makes one feel that an exchange meeting really should be like this.
Even though those who grew up in a more relaxed generation are better off than the average person, it is still important to instill a sense of responsibility in them as early as possible.
Chapter 341 Eating by Reading Faces
These are all people who will become doctors in the future, so please be more considerate.
The lecturer on stage used the MERS leak incident as a warning to the audience.
There is no shortage of responsible people in the world, and the lecturer on stage hopes that everyone will be responsible, since they will all become doctors in the future.
Whether they pursue clinical development or research, their primary identity is that of a doctor.
He didn't know how many people would listen to what he was saying; he was just wondering whether he should say it at all.
Mentioning the Toyo University incident is a disgrace to Toyo University, and we should learn from that experience.
The exchange meeting with Shunda University concluded successfully. After seeing off the Shunda University representatives, both sides were very satisfied with the meeting.
Some people joked that the University of Tokyo seems to prefer hanging out with Jungkook University rather than Keio University...
It was just a joke.
However, as Aki Tomoya observed, they did not have any collaboration with Keio.
However, upon closer examination, in terms of medical schools, among national universities, the University of Tokyo's School of Medicine is number one, and among private universities, Sundae University School of Medicine is number one. This combination does indeed seem like a powerful alliance.
It's hard to say whether the atmosphere is as harmonious as it is at a networking event when competing privately.
After all, the competition between hospitals is still very fierce.
……
Professor Yano went abroad for exchange studies, and in the pathology classroom, his deputy, Okajima, temporarily took charge.
When the professor wasn't home, the students who came to help in the pathology classroom all focused on the research that Okajima was doing.
While preparing lessons, Okajima also had to conduct research. When Professor Yano was not around, Okajima was extremely busy.
Tomoya Aki reduced the time he spent in the pathology classroom and increased the time he spent in UDI.
The former hasn't been too busy lately, while the latter has been quite busy with one thing recently.
A serious fire broke out in a mixed-use commercial and residential building.
The burned body was sent to UDI for identification.
The ten corpses were all burned black, like charcoal, and their faces were unrecognizable.
There was very little left on him that could prove his identity.
Determining the cause of death is straightforward, but thoroughly identifying the deceased is a challenge.
UDI was immediately busy because there were too many corpses.
In fire accidents, being burned to death is not necessarily the cause of death. Others may die from inhaling toxic gases produced by the fire, leading to difficulty breathing, poisoning, or suffocation.
During the autopsy, they discovered that one of the bodies exhibited characteristics different from the other deceased.
"There is subcutaneous bleeding in the waist area, as if it were caused by being bound with ropes... There is a fracture in the skull..."
However, the cause of death for one body cannot yet be entirely attributed to the fire.
If there are signs of binding, there is a possibility that the person was detained in front of them.
There are signs of damage to the skull, which may have been caused before or after the person was burned.
Mikoto Misumi suspects there may be a murder.
