Huang Ji left the hospital and headed to his next stop.
In a single day, he visited three hospitals, interacting with specialists from various fields, and his ranking steadily climbed. However, aside from the large leap in the beginning, his progress afterward was only a few hundred ranks at a time.
One reason was that he found it difficult to gain access to department heads and professor-level physicians. Another reason was that the doctors he did meet were all at a similar level. They helped him improve his overall versatility but didn’t provide the kind of breakthrough leaps he sought.
Still, any improvement was worthwhile. The medical standards in Shanghai were high, and every major hospital had industry-leading experts. Huang Ji had already scouted out their schedules today.
Once he returned home to consolidate his knowledge, he planned to return and "sweep" the top professors in one go. With that, he expected to raise his medical ranking to within the global top 500.
On the way home, Huang Ji pondered the progression and regression of professional skills.
Everyone has their peaks, periods of growth, and phases of burnout. Even Einstein’s most significant scientific achievements were largely concentrated in his younger years during a single explosive period.
In 1905, at just 26 years old, a fresh graduate working at a patent office without his own lab, Einstein, driven by sheer enthusiasm and imagination, published five groundbreaking papers in a single year. This year was later called his "miracle year."
