My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Ordinary surgeons, to master the Suturing Skill at an associate director level, may not achieve success even over twenty years. However, Zhou Can managed to elevate his practice from intern to associate director level in just one year.

And it's not just one, but both the Suturing and Ligation Skills, all elevated to level five.

Such a sharp curve overtaking and asymmetric competition is naturally thrilling.

A few minor flaws that come with rapid skill advancement are nothing in comparison.

The extracorporeal circulation was quickly established.

However, extracorporeal circulation can only temporarily address an emergency, typically lasting about six hours.

Beyond that time, it often transitions to external ECMO.

With the extracorporeal circulation in place, the surgery continued.

Zhou Can felt a bit of regret as he thought the opportunity had come.

Unexpectedly, Tu Ya's top-tier departments are well-equipped with various techniques and complete facilities. The problem was temporarily solved just by extracorporeal circulation.

"Wipe the sweat!"

Director Hu told the nurse.

It was then Zhou Can noticed the fine sweat covered Director Hu's forehead.

The critical situation that had arisen surely brought great pressure to Director Hu. However, as the chief surgeon, he had to stabilize the morale and forcibly calm himself.

After the nurse wiped his sweat away, it didn't take long for sweat to appear again on his forehead.

His complexion seemed a bit off too, looking rather pale.

Unfortunately, the mask covered most of his face, making it hard to see clearly.

"Director Hu seems to be having some physical issues!"

Zhou Can keenly noticed that besides the cold sweat on his forehead and the pale face, Director Hu's movements also became noticeably slower.

"Wipe the sweat!"

Less than five minutes later, he shouted to the nurse again.

Other doctors also noticed Director Hu's abnormal condition.

"Director Hu, why don't you sit aside and rest for a bit, and let me take over the remaining tasks of the surgery?"

Director Le immediately volunteered to share the burden.

"That's good! The patient's fibrous connective tissue adhesion is severe, you must be careful during the surgery."

Director Hu staggered a bit as he stepped back.

Zhou Can, after all, had quick reflexes, rushed forward, and steadied him.

"Director Hu, be careful!"

All these directors are pillars of Tuya Hospital, and it would be serious if one were to fall off the operating table.

After all, they were no longer young.

"Xiao Zhou, help me sit over there and rest."

Director Hu was quite fond of Zhou Can.

As Zhou Can supported this surgical magnate, he realized that Director Hu was much frailer than he appeared to be. Moreover, his body was trembling.

This was certainly not normal.

"Do you need to step outside the operating room to drink some water and eat something to regain your strength?"

Zhou Can thought it might be a display of exhaustion from Director Hu.

"It's okay! I'll just sit there and rest. This surgery is highly challenging, and although Director Le has been learning with me for many years, he still lacks experience in several aspects, which makes me somewhat uneasy."

Director Le being a disciple of Director Hu was something Zhou Can had long known.

To be precise, many in the Cardiothoracic Surgery department were Director Hu's disciples.

His guidance to other doctors was never stingy.

Zhou Can had also spent several months in Neurosurgery, where Wu Baihe was more renowned than Director Hu, but in terms of influence and support within the department, none could match Director Hu.

When imparting surgical experiences and skills, Wu Baihe's patience fell short.

He often wasn't very detailed in his guidance.

Junior doctors had to guess, figure things out, and understand on their own.

Director Hu, however, was an exceptionally good teacher, explaining issues very patiently. Whenever junior doctors sought advice, he would explain the key points tirelessly until they understood.

Zhou Can was originally the disciple of Dr. Xu, which positioned him as a potential competitor in Director Hu's lineage.

However, he was selflessly nurturing Zhou Can.

For instance, in this surgery, without his approval, how could Director Le dare to call Zhou Can over to learn?

For such a respectable and endearing chief physician, Zhou Can's respect was genuinely profound.

After settling Director Hu down on a round stool by the wall, Zhou Can then let go of him.

"I'm fine, you don't have to stay by me. Go stand in front of the operating table, watch, and learn as much as you can; such ultra-difficult surgeries are extremely rare." Director Hu gestured Zhou Can away with his hand.

"Okay!"

Zhou Can approached the operating table, but he chose to stand on the other side.

This angle for observing Director Le's surgery was a bit off; however, it allowed Zhou Can to easily monitor Director Hu's condition.

Instinctively, Zhou Can felt that Director Hu's condition wasn't as simple as merely being fatigued.

At his age, being in a constant state of high-pressure work, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension are easily triggered.

The patient's earlier crisis must have severely affected Director Hu, causing potential spikes in blood pressure or rapid heartbeats.

Director Le's surgical competency was clearly much lower than Director Hu's.

However, for removing the thymoma, it should be sufficient.

Time was swiftly passing, and the patient's condition was not good.

The surgery also faced immense difficulties.

Chief surgeon Director Hu, due to physical discomfort, was forced to exit.

Multiple crises converging together made the surgery increasingly perilous. Inside the operating room, the atmosphere also grew more and more tense.

"Speed up the surgery as much as possible; the patient's blood pressure is dropping. His breathing is weakening too."

Doctor Feng urged Director Le and others.

If it wasn't because the patient's condition was very bad, he wouldn't normally rush the chief surgeon.

As it could bring great psychological pressure to Director Le.
