My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Director Jia was amazed that Zhou Can had been able to detect this not particularly thick blood vessel in advance.

As an old surgeon like him, who had been immersed in surgical operations for over forty years, it was not surprising that he could rely on his keen surgical sense to discover important tissues such as blood vessels or nerves.

After all, the director level of incision quality was there for all to see.

For Zhou Can, a rookie standardized training physician, to achieve this was quite abnormal.

In the end, Director Jia attributed it to talent.

Honestly speaking, Zhou Can's traditional surgical talent was not considered good.

At most, it was above average.

On the other hand, his nerve anastomosis and advanced surgical talents were particularly outstanding.

Now being able to exhibit strong traditional surgical abilities was entirely the result of the Quick-Blade Technique and the Experience Points system helping him elevate his fundamental surgical skills to a higher realm.

"Can I ligate it first before making an incision?"

Zhou Can wanted to take this opportunity to show off a bit more of his medical skills, in order to secure more surgical opportunities after opening the abdominal cavity.

Snatching training opportunities, Director Jia's subordinates were very polite and courteous.

During Zhou Can's general surgery internship, those people vied for surgical training opportunities like hungry wolves.

That was truly frightening.

"Of course, you can!"

Director Jia readily agreed.

This task should have been done by the First Assistant. However, this associate chief physician, conceited about his status, stood there unmoved, clearly unwilling to assist Zhou Can.

Because it would make him feel like it was beneath him.

Zhou Can quickly put down the surgical knife, took the needle holder, hook needle, and thread from the nurse, and then performed ligation on the blood vessel.

The entire ligation action was both swift and stylish, and the ligation was done exceptionally well.

"Goodness, conservatively estimating, this level of ligation has reached the associate chief standard. It's too unscientific."

Director Jia let out a series of exclamations.

The associate chief physician, who could not let go of his pride to actively assist Zhou Can, looked at Zhou Can with a changed expression.

There was now a rare hint of respect.

For Zhou Can to be so young yet possess such a high level of incision and ligation standards, it was enough to make him reassess and swiftly adjust his impression of Zhou Can.

Qiu Hong was even more impressive; her beautiful eyes looked at Zhou Can with twinkling admiration.

Although she was already an attending physician, her surgical skills were far inferior to that of Junior Brother Zhou, who was still a standardized training physician.

Her exact educational background was still unknown. At the very least, it was a graduate master's degree.

All doctoral students, including some outstanding graduate masters, were top-notch academically.

However, their practical surgical skills were another matter.

After all, this requires frequent practice to excel.

The seemingly simple ligation includes many surgical techniques.

Here, it must be clarified that ligation is not equivalent to knotting.

Knotting is only part of ligation.

Just as men are human, but not all humans.

Humans include men, women, children, and the elderly.

Ligation often requires the clever use of a hook needle to pass through some tissues, ideally binding the blood vessel without harming important tissues and vessels, and then securing it with a knot.

This process must avoid pulling the surrounding tissue and ensure the ligation's tightness and firmness are up to standard.

Therefore, ligation is not the same as knotting.

In medical terms, knotting is never referred to as one of the four fundamental surgical skills.

Once Zhou Can had tied the blood vessel, he decisively cut it off.

He again finely tuned into the tactile feedback of cutting through the blood vessel.

Especially magical.

This would provide him safety protection in future surgical procedures. As long as the knife touched a blood vessel, he would receive this signal feedback deeply imprinted in his brain, and then stop immediately.

His current ability should only be able to detect feedback from blood vessels about 2 millimeters in size.

As his surgical strength continues to improve, in the future, he may be able to sensitively capture even smaller signals of cutting blood vessels.

Because the ligation was done in advance, there was not too much bleeding from this blood vessel.

The entire process of opening the abdomen was swift and efficient.

After Zhou Can opened the peritoneum, he exposed the organs within the abdominal cavity.

The attitude of the associate chief physician who had witnessed Zhou Can's surgical strength completely changed.

He began to actively help with hemostasis.

Carrying out electrocoagulation on those minor bleeding points.

"Spread the abdominal incision and fully expose the surgical field."

Director Jia instructed Third Assistant and one of the resident doctors.

Third Assistant was Qiu Hong.

Her current surgical skill level only allowed her to fill this role.

In the operating room, perhaps it's the only place where credentials don't dictate rank.

Whoever has stronger surgical abilities is the leader.

Academics represent theory, while surgery represents practical ability.

"Good grief, this patient's colonic lesion is quite severe! If he had come to the hospital earlier for treatment, it might not have been necessary to remove part of the intestine. Many diseases, people wait until they become very serious before thinking of getting treatment. Fortunately, this one is just an intestinal obstruction, if it had been a polyp and they waited this long to deal with it, there could have been a malignant transformation."

Director Jia remarked while inspecting the patient's diseased bowel segment within the abdominal cavity.

"In the future, when you conduct consultations, you must remember, the moment you detect pathologies in a patient's intestines that require immediate treatment, you must clearly explain it to the patients and their families. You can't let them think it's nothing serious and then come in for treatment when it becomes a major issue."
