My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

The advancement of an anesthesiologist is arguably the most difficult.

Because it encompasses such a wide field.

Many anesthesiologists say that being promoted to attending physician is akin to a hellish difficulty.

Zhou Can is not clear about the difficulty of becoming an attending physician.

He spent nearly a year moving up from intern level to resident doctor level.

And up to this point, he feels that what he has learned in the field of anesthesia is still very, very little, barely scratching the surface.

To reach the level of Doctor Feng, it's feared that without ten or twenty years, it would be very hard to achieve.

Fortunately, this is just a sideline, not a mandatory skill to advance.

So he is not in a rush.

The upgrade of his anesthesia technique still brings him many unexpected benefits.

Such as the ability to predict surgical risks.

At this moment, when he reviews this patient's surgery, he unexpectedly feels palpitations.

It's indescribable, just a sense of unnamed psychological and mental pressure.

You should know, before his anesthesia technique was elevated to Level 3, he was full of confidence for this surgery.

Now instead, he feels a hint of trepidation.

It's not that he has become timid, but rather that the upgrade in anesthesia technique has given him a deeper reverence for life, and his prediction of danger has become much sharper.

"If there are no problems, let's start the surgery!"

Elder Liu evidently did not sense any danger, and as usual, prepared to hand this operation over to Zhou Can for practice. He would only step in when Zhou Can encountered parts of the surgery which he could not handle.

"Elder Liu..."

Zhou Can, however, shows some hesitation.

His abnormal state was also noticed by Wu Ziyu.

With a woman's intuition, she is often very sensitive to others' emotions and mental changes.

She just curiously watches Zhou Can.

Unable to comprehend why the always confident Dr. Zhou suddenly seems to face a deep abyss, a cliff edge, as if harboring a sliver of fear to move forward.

This was, in fact, the first time she had seen this kind of emotional state in Zhou Can since she had met him.

"What's wrong?"

Elder Liu stared at Zhou Can, his eyes full of questions.

"This surgery carries great risk, please supervise it closely for me. If we encounter any particularly risky parts of the surgery, you might need to step in personally."

Zhou Can said somewhat uneasily.

"Of course. At any point during the surgery, if you feel uncertain, stop immediately and let me do it. Safety is always the priority in any operation."

Elder Liu had said these words to him countless times.

Safety first, this is what senior doctors mention most frequently.

Because if an accident occurs during the surgery, it is not the junior doctor but the chief surgeon who bears the responsibility.

For instance, with this surgery, the actual chief surgeon is Zhou Can, but officially, it is Elder Liu.

If there's a problem, Zhou Can will be implicated to a certain extent, but it is Elder Liu who would be in the most trouble.

Senior doctors willing to entrust some surgical practice opportunities to junior doctors at this time must be especially appreciated. One must never unscrupulously assume that the senior doctor will take the fall in case of an accident.

This trust is actually very precious.

Many surgeons, despite being resident doctors for more than three years, are never allowed by senior doctors to operate. At most, they are given opportunities to perform sutures or skin closure.

It's not that senior doctors have any particular bias against these individuals.

Rather it's that such individuals have not performed well in their day-to-day work, making senior doctors hesitant to delegate responsibility.

Zhou Can takes a deep breath twice to calm his slightly nervous mood, then has the nurse help him put on sterile gloves to start operating on the patient.

It must be mentioned here, before performing special manipulations or checks prior to surgery, doctors might need to wear sterile gloves.

If this doctor happens to be the chief surgeon, as the surgery starts, should they feel that the sterile gloves on their hands have been contaminated.

They must immediately change to new ones.
