My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

The growth of a prominent doctor can never be achieved overnight. It requires a gradual skill improvement in each medical technique, like Zhou Can's approach, constantly addressing one's weaknesses and becoming even more adept in areas of strength, to ultimately become a renowned doctor.

Having completed the upgrade of his transmission technique, Zhou Can could now take a bath and sleep peacefully.

After showering, he sat on the bed, opened his laptop, and first documented today's surgical insights and key points.

Then, he began to study the basic medical knowledge.

He was determined to follow through with the long-term study plan that Director Xue Yan had put a lot of effort into crafting for him. Studying is a process of persistence and accumulation.

Passing the Medical Practitioner Certificate examination doesn't mean one can stop studying.

To truly make significant professional advances, the gaps in medical knowledge must be filled.

Undergraduate study time is actually very limited because one has to start hospital internships in the fifth year, which effectively makes the learning very sporadic.

Serious academic study is only for a mere four years.

That's also why many higher-tier third-class hospitals prefer to recruit graduates with Master's or Doctoral degrees when hiring doctors.

Graduate students possess a deeper well of medical knowledge, especially in their chosen fields, where they have already done considerable in-depth study, and with just a little cultivation, they might become mainstay doctors who handle things on their own.

Under normal circumstances, it takes an even longer period for a hospital to train an undergraduate into a key department doctor.

If they encounter undergraduates who are slack in their studies, not only does it take a longer time to train them, but it's also hard for them to become competent.

The ultimate result is a lowering of the hospital's overall medical standards.

Zhou Can is now putting forth effort in all areas, and the situation looks promising, like a burst of simultaneous bloom. Academics, being of paramount importance, certainly cannot lag too far behind; he must vigorously catch up.

The last time he crammed a lot of medical knowledge for the Medical Practitioner Certificate exam, he clearly felt tangible benefits.

In pathology diagnosis, medication orders, ward management, and surgery, he reaped the massive benefits of improved medical knowledge.

He read until twelve o'clock before Zhou Can finally turned off the lights to sleep.

The sounds of Jin Mingxi's snoring had been echoing from the other bed for a while.

The gap between the two was steadily widening.

When Zhou Can first passed the residency training examination, in terms of practical surgical operations, he was actually not as good as Jin Mingxi. In treatment experience, surgical experience, and basic medical knowledge, he was much behind Jin Mingxi.

Now, Jin Mingxi was far from his match.

That's why diligence is so valuable. It enables Zhou Can to rapidly surpass one opponent after another.

Amid a half-awake state, his phone rang.

Zhou Can dismissed the call with a swipe, turned over, and continued sleeping.

The ringing started again.

This time, he woke up a bit more and realized someone was calling.

"Hello, may I ask if this is Dr. Zhou?"

A young and gentle female voice came through the phone with a hint of urgency in her tone.

"Yes, it's me!"

Shaking off his drowsiness, it was not his first time receiving an emergency call from the hospital in the middle of the night.

When a patient faces critical conditions, it's often beyond the capabilities of the doctor on duty. At such times, a call is usually made for relevant doctors to rush to the hospital for urgent resuscitation and consultation.

Currently, as a resident in training, Zhou Can was not called upon frequently.

The hospital's attending and associate chief physicians, as well as interns, are the ones who are likely to suffer most from these calls.

Calling interns is meant for them to handle the menial tasks during resuscitations.

Transporting patients for examinations, collecting results, getting medications, and handling some basic tasks during surgery all fall on the shoulders of the interns.

"Dr. Zhou, I'm very sorry to disturb your rest at this time. This is Neurosurgery. We just received a patient from the emergency department who is in deep coma and has a brain hemorrhage, needing urgent resuscitation. Director Wu has requested your presence to join the consultation and rescue."

She briefly explained the situation.

"Okay, I'll be right there at the hospital!"

Zhou Can hung up the phone, dressed quickly, and dashed out of the apartment building toward the hospital.

No need to worry about seeming crazy to others, as such scenes occur many times a day in this apartment building.

Doctors, upon receiving emergency calls from the hospital, typically react this way.

They run urgently to save lives.

Zhou Can wondered to himself why Neurosurgery suddenly thought to invite him, a trainee, to participate in emergency resuscitation.

Having trained in Neurosurgery for a few months, he was very familiar with its strengths.

Besides Wu Baihe, the peak surgeon, the Neurosurgery department is filled with many elite practitioners. Just the head and associate chief physicians alone make up quite a number.

Such a strong department specifically calling him, a trainee, for support made Zhou Can entertain some self-inflating thoughts.

He pondered over the patient's condition.

It certainly wasn't a simple case of brain hemorrhage.
