My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

To accumulate so many Experience Points, earning just 1 point at a time, it would probably take more than a decade to reach Level 6. It's only fair to say that it's incredibly difficult to get promoted to Director Level.

No wonder some surgeons work until retirement and are always associate directors.

If Zhou Can thought of a way, like now, to specifically take on some difficult surgeries. Earning 100 Experience Points for one surgery, he could reach Director Level in perhaps just two or three years.

After completing the anastomosis of the arterial blood vessel, Zhou Can also debrides and stops the bleeding of the chest cavity wounds.

Then there's no problem, testing if the blood flow is smooth.

"Amazing, to succeed in the arterial anastomosis on the first try."

Someone couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Even more enviable was Zhou Can's astonishingly fast surgery speed.

In the past, in their understanding, only slow and steady would produce fine work.

Now, having watched Zhou Can perform surgery, their perceptions were overturned. It turns out surgery can be both fast and good.

"Close up the thorax!"

Director Le was very satisfied with the results of the surgery.

Zhou Can had never independently completed a thoracic closure. Especially these kinds of major thoracic surgeries.

Though he had seen it done many times.

Since Director Le didn't say to change people, Zhou Can didn't stand on ceremony either.

Taking stainless steel wire from the nurse, he began to suture the sternum.

Then placed a drainage tube behind the sternum.

"Director Le, please check if there are any problems. If not, I'll start to suture the incision layer by layer."

Zhou Can had watched so many surgeries and taken many notes, every step was etched into his memory.

Today was finally the day to make use of them.

At least in every aspect, he did quite well, above the standard.

It was also a very important growing experience for him personally.

"Very good! Keep going!"

Today, Director Le and the other doctors present witnessed Zhou Can's surgical prowess.

The nurse sister who spoke up for Zhou Can showed a proud smile.

It was because of her recommendation that this surgery could take a significant turn for the better.

Half an hour later, Zhou Can finished suturing, and the patient's vital signs had already begun to stabilize after he finished closing the thorax.

At this moment, the surgery ended, and the patient was completely safe.

"Doctor Feng, you can wake the patient from anesthesia. Because of his special condition, transfer him to the ICU for observation for the day first, then when the patient's vital signs are completely stable, transfer to a regular ward for care."

Director Le made a prudent postoperative arrangement.

"Xiao Zhou, your performance today was very good. In the future, during surgeries, we can give you some more hands-on training opportunities."

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Zhou Can finally found the right opportunity to break the ice.

In the Cardiothoracic Surgery department, full of experts, it was truly difficult for him, a resident doctor, to get important surgery practice opportunities.

Mainly because Cardiothoracic Surgery operations are basically all Level 4 major surgeries, not to mention him, even those resident doctors with more years of experience are basically just assisting by pulling retractors, suturing skin, intubation, and so on.

The high-risk practical experience they had probably was just thoracentesis.

After the surgery, Zhou Can realized it was already 6:47 in the evening.

Today was considered a good day.

If Director Le had insisted on not letting him participate, with their tortoise speed of surgery, it would have been normal to finish the surgery by midnight.

The income of surgeons is high, but they often wear themselves thin with the commute, earning their pay with blood and sweat.

Returning to the doctors' office, Zhou Can thought that Director Xue had definitely finished work and gone home.

To his surprise, she was still in the office.

"Dr. Zhou, was the surgery you were in smooth?"

She seemed to have been waiting specifically for Zhou Can to get off work.

Zhou Can wasn't too sure himself.

After all, she held a high position and status, and when Zhou Can would finish surgery was not certain.

"The surgery went smoothly. How is Director Hu doing?"

Zhou Can still cared about this matter.

Director Hu Kan's broad-mindedness and selfless teaching to junior doctors made people sincerely respect and like him.

Now that he was in trouble, everyone was very concerned about his safety.

"He's already undergone interventional surgery, and a vascular stent has been placed. He is currently staying in the ICU, but overall, the situation is optimistic," Director Xue provided an update on the situation.

Zhou Can showed a happy smile upon hearing this.

"Safe and sound, that's good!"

He genuinely felt happy for Director Hu.

The mortality rate of acute myocardial infarction is quite high. Without timely treatment, even if one is resuscitated, the person is basically ruined.

Many people only know that nerve cells cannot regenerate, not realizing that cardiac muscle cells also cannot regenerate.

So cardiac muscle cells are precious, once one dies, it's gone for good.

Therefore, for patients with acute myocardial infarction, it is crucial to open the vessels early. The sooner the vessels are opened, the more cardiac muscle cells can be saved, and the heart will not undergo significant remodeling.

For patients with myocardial infarction, time is muscle.

Zhou Can promptly noticed the abnormal condition of Director Hu Kan and carried him around to do tests, winning precious time for resuscitation, which was a great contribution.

Believing that once Director Hu woke up, he would definitely be very grateful to him.

"Didn't Dr. Zhou want to consult with me about the medical comprehensive exam? If there's nothing urgent now, let's talk about it!"

Director Xue really was waiting for him.

Zhou Can didn't say much, but his heart was moved.

He quickly sat down to seek advice from Director Xue humbly.

"I've selected thirty exam questions here for you, just answer them. You can leave blank the ones you can't solve."

Director Xue pulled her chair aside to let Zhou Can sit at her work computer to answer the questions.

This treatment made the doctors who stayed in the office for the night watch utterly envious.

To receive such meticulous one-on-one coaching from Director Xue. As long as he didn't have a fundamentally poor foundation, he definitely could pass the medical comprehensive exam.

Zhou Can found these exam questions to be very targeted.

They covered a vast range of knowledge.

Apparently, what she was busy with on the computer earlier was selecting exam questions meant for him.

A woman's meticulous attention to detail was fully displayed in her.

Zhou Can diligently tackled each question, with her just watching from the side.

She probably wanted to use this method to quickly determine Zhou Can's knowledge gaps within the shortest time and then help him devise a targeted short-term study plan.
