Chapter 184: Taking the Medical Practitioner Certificate Exam, Unexpectedly Acquiring Anesthesia Skills_2
Whether he could obtain the Medical Practitioner Certificate was extremely important to him.
There were many residents who, due to failing the Medical Practitioner Certificate or the doctor's qualification exam, were ultimately forced to change careers.
He didn't want to have it all going his way, only to face a sudden Waterloo.
Anyway, having passed the practical skills exam for practicing physicians, he felt exceptionally happy.
It was also a decent account of four years of college study, one year of internship, and one year of residency. Now, only the comprehensive examination for the doctor's qualification was left.
After he finished changing the medication for a patient and returned to the office, his excitement and joy had somewhat subsided.
"Dr. Zhou, seeing you smile so happily, did you pass the practical skills exam for the practicing physician?"
Director Xue asked him with a smile.
"You really have a divine knack for guessing things. With your auspicious words, just now the personnel department called me to inform that I have passed. I couldn't have passed so smoothly without your help."
Zhou Can was truly very grateful to her.
"I didn't do much; it was your own strength. However, the upcoming medical integrated exam is hellishly difficult; you must be mentally prepared. There are two exams in total, both extraordinarily challenging. Starting from now, you have a little over four months. From the questions you ask and the thought process when analyzing patient cases, I must say, your basic medical knowledge is a weak spot for you."
Director Xue's expression became much more serious.
She might always speak gently, but she was very smart, knowing everything.
She just chose not to articulate it.
"Among those who know me, there's Director Xue! You managed to attain the Full Professor title at such a young age; your theory and academics must be top-notch. Please, help me."
Zhou Can followed along in the conversation, clinging desperately to her as if holding onto a lifeline.
With her help, his chances of passing the medical integrated exam would be much higher.
With a little more than four months, which is not even half a year, cramming medical basics also meant finding the right direction.
Randomly reading books and doing practice questions would be enough to drown him in a sea of texts and suffocate him in a mountain of problems.
Moreover, from now on, there are only about fifty days until the first medical integrated exam.
Less than two months.
Zhou Can would be lying if he said he wasn't worried.
"The topics of the medical integrated exam not only cover an extremely broad range of knowledge but also require the flexible application of learned theoretical knowledge. What you seem to lack is knowledge, although you seem to have no problem with application. You have a very active mind and strong learning ability, so why haven't you kept up with basic medical knowledge?"
Director Xue was quite puzzled by this.
She had already begun to take up various teaching positions and had a wealth of teaching experience.
She had a good eye for students' potential.
Which student has good talent, what each student excels at, and through effort, what level of achievement each can reach—at least, she has a fairly accurate prediction in her heart.
"Ah, don't mention it. I was arrogant and high-spirited in my youth, believing back then that rote memorization of many dry and tedious medical basics was a very low-level approach. Then, in my senior year, while others were successfully getting into postgraduate programs, I failed. Luckily, still bearing the name of a Tuya Medical College student and with some good fortune, I smoothly got the opportunity to intern at Tuya General Hospital."
Zhou Can spoke of his past with a hint of bitterness.
"After being harshly dealt with by society, I shed my troublesome youth behaviors. I hunkered down to rigorously practice fundamental surgical techniques and worked hard to learn various practical skills. Additionally, as someone who always enjoyed studying different case reports and enjoyed reasoning and diagnoses differentiation, I had some foundation in these areas. Eventually, the internship ended, and I successfully passed the residency exam. Step by step from there, I had the fortune to meet you."
"You are my benefactor. If you don't help me, I'm afraid I'll just have to face society's second beating, failure in the medical integrated exam, followed by a career change..."
Zhou Can laid it on thick, all to evoke Director Xue Yan's compassion.
To get her aid and start with passing the medical integrated exam.
"Hehe~!"
"I never would have guessed that Dr. Zhou, a superb genius on par with Du Leng, would have such a knack for humor! However, after hearing the growth story of you, a genius doctor, whether it is for the benefit of the hospital or to not let a talent fade away, I have decided to help you."
Director Xue was amused by him.
What teacher wouldn't like a good student?
Zhou Can was unparalleled in many aspects, only lacking in basic medical knowledge due to youthful ignorance.
Since she had the capacity to help Zhou Can, of course, she would offer him a hand.
"So you're saying you agree?" Zhou Can was elated. "Thank you! Thank you so much!"
"Wait for me in the office after work. After understanding your basic situation, I'll devise a specific study plan for you. But I must warn you beforehand: even if I help you pass the medical integrated exam this time, and you successfully obtain both certificates, it does not mean you have truly overcome your weakness. Learning is a long-term and cumulative process. My personal advice to you is to learn as long as you live."
"If you encounter an unknown case or disease history in the future, be sure to do your research and focus on accumulation over time."
She told Zhou Can with a serious look on her face.
"Understood!"
Zhou Can had started to study in this way during the fourth month of his internship.
Whenever confronted with a case report or disease mechanism he didn't understand, he would promptly research it or consult with senior doctors.
