My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 223 - 125: Dust Settles, Replanting the Failed Severed Finger_2

Sometimes, one's vision and scope also determine the upper limit of personal growth.

Imagine, constantly competing with a few residency trainees, trying to curry favor with resident doctors who are just one level above yourself.

How impressive can that be?

Zhou Can was busy in the ward area until around six in the evening, which was the time he was supposed to get off work.

Doctor He, however, came over with a smile and took over his work.

"Go to the doctor's office! Doctor Yang will give you new work assignments. From now on, you will be working in the operating room. If you have any questions about inpatient care, or any patients who need special monitoring, you can come to me anytime."

Doctor He's friendly attitude towards him likely indicated that he knew Zhou Can would be working in the operating room.

With a nervous heart, Zhou Can hurried into the doctor's office.

Before the results were announced, he still felt some insecurity despite his strong abilities.

All eighteen residency trainees had gathered in the office.

Many of them looked incredibly nervous.

Doctor Yang was still presiding, with the young Dr. Hee assisting by his side.

Zhou Can and Dr. Hee had worked together in the operating room for a day. He realized that Dr. Hee's surgical skills were quite weak, whereas Doctor Tang was much stronger.

It was clear from this point.

Those with inferior surgical skills are often saddled with various chores.

"Everyone is here! You eighteen have all been striving for excellence over these three days, and you all performed well."

Doctor Yang started with some standard remarks.

Then he got to the main point.

"Unfortunately, there are limited spots for residency training in the operating room, so not all of you can work there. After preliminary screening by the attending surgeons and the final discussion by several department chiefs, we have decided that the following six people will participate in the usual residency training in the operating room. The other twelve will have the opportunity to join the operating room residency when they assist in surgeries."

This is the normal practice of most departments.

With limited resources, they can only focus on training a small group while providing wider training to a larger group.

"Zhou Can, Lu Bubi, Cheng Daile..."

Zhou Can was actually ranked first.

It seemed that the senior doctors held him in high regard.

But on second thought, it made sense.

If even slightly fair, his being ranked first was an uncontroversial matter.

Five names had been read, and Jin Mingxi's name still had not appeared.

With a turn of his head, Zhou Can noticed Jin Mingxi clutching the corner of his clothes, with his face full of last hopes, staring intently at the list in Doctor Yang's hand.

If he's not selected, Jin Mingxi would lose his early advantage and be a step behind others from the start.

Residency training in Orthopedics is incredibly important.

It determines whether the foundation for future surgeries is solidly built.

If one does not learn enough surgical knowledge and skills during the three months of orthopedic residency, it can't be made up by reading books or watching teaching videos.

It will undoubtedly affect the competition for rotations in other departments later on.

One step behind, always a step behind.

And after becoming a resident doctor, the gap will widen even further, which is very unfavorable for later promotion to an attending physician.

This was also the reason for Jin Mingxi's immense nervousness.

He was already not young, at 35 years old starting his residency with only an undergraduate degree. If he wasted another two years, at best he'd become an attending doctor before retirement.

In the end, his great dream to go back to the county People's Hospital in his hometown and improve the overall medical standard of the hospital would definitely be heavily discounted.

"Don't worry, if you're not selected, I'll find a way to help you later."

Zhou Can patted his hand, comforting him softly.

"Yeah!"

Jin Mingxi nodded gratefully.

"The last name, Jin Mingxi."

Doctor Yang deliberately left everyone in suspense, keeping the mystery until finally revealing the sixth name.

"Yeah!"

Jin Mingxi clenched his fist tightly, overwhelmed with excitement.

Those few seconds of torment felt to him as if they lasted a century.

The twelve residency trainees who were not selected showed their utmost disappointment.

Their spirits were down, and they surely felt terrible.

But competition is this cruel.

The capable ones rise, the mediocre ones fall.

"Those who weren't selected shouldn't lose heart. The path of medicine is long and arduous; as long as we keep learning diligently and constantly improve our diagnostic and treatment levels, we will achieve success. To be honest, I was also one of the residency trainees who wasn't selected in my time. But I persevered with determination and persistence, and eventually succeeded in becoming an attending physician in Orthopedics. I share this with you to encourage you."

Doctor Yang, seeing the low spirits of many, generously revealed his own dark history to motivate them.

Some trainees, whose confidence had been severely shattered, lifted their heads after hearing this.

A firm light sparkled in their eyes.

This Doctor Yang was really quite a decent person.

"Those six who were successfully promoted, go directly to the operating room to report tomorrow. Zhou Can, Lu Bubi, and Cheng Daile, report directly to Doctor Shan. Wang Bin, Fan Wen, and Jin Mingxi, report directly to me."

He directly made arrangements for the six individuals.

By feeling, Doctor Yang's surgical abilities seemed weaker than Doctor Shan's.

Zhou Can wondered if being assigned to Doctor Shan meant those three were more outstanding?

Now that the dust had settled, he had successfully entered the Orthopedics operating room, and his hanging heart finally settled. Over the next three months, it was time to learn diligently, trying to acquire as much orthopedic surgical skill and knowledge of surgical treatment for various orthopedic diseases as possible.

...

The next day, Zhou Can arrived early to report to Doctor Shan in Orthopedics.

The working hours in the operating room here differed from those in the emergency department.
