The training officially began.
Thirty trainees were assigned to various departments at Sanbo Hospital, each paired with a teaching mentor, to rotate and train at Sanbo Hospital for two years, with the final year spent at Sanbo Research Institute. However, there were two doctors, whom Yang Ping chose to train entirely at the institute: One was Zhaxi from Tibet Changdu; the other, Ah Yi, was from Guizhou Qian Dongnan, a Miao Clan girl, who had worked at the county hospital in General Surgery for five years and could independently perform some simple surgeries. Ah Yi was temporarily mentored by Doctor Li Guodong.
On the first day in the operating room, Zhaxi stood behind Yang Ping, watching him perform a vertebral tumor resection surgery.
