My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 295 - 149: Revealing Dual Talents, Are You Really a Resident Trainee? _3
Chapter 295 -149: Revealing Dual Talents, Are You Really a Resident Trainee? _3
Receiving such a low assessment from Director Wen dealt a heavy blow to him.
“No, no, no, I’m not saying that your suturing was poor. Rather, I question your identity. I’ve worked in Tu Ya for over thirty years and have never seen a medical resident as abnormal as you. The implantation technique was well-executed, which could be interpreted as a sign of high talent in complex surgeries. Yet your skills in hemostasis, suturing, and ligation have all reached the Chief Level. That is truly rare to see.”
Director Wen is no fool.
For a medical resident, excelling in one type of surgery could be due to extensive practice.
But to be so skilled in every type of surgery, one would have had to start practicing from the womb to achieve that.
The training period for a surgical doctor is already extremely long, and it takes many years to achieve minor accomplishments.
Even with great talent, isn’t this level of skill a bit too exaggerated?
It’s just too unbelievable.
“Haha, you scared me. I thought the suturing wasn’t done well.”
Zhou Can let out a big sigh of relief, as long as the surgery was not done poorly.
“Maybe it’s because I especially like surgical operations and practice them often, so my foundation is a bit stronger than the average medical resident. That’s all there is to it, it’s not as exaggerated as you say!”
His explanation was quite far-fetched.
Regardless, this matter wasn’t crucial, and no one would delve deeply into it.
Even if they tried, they wouldn’t find out much.
Zhou Can indeed worked very hard, practicing surgical operations every day after work.
“Some directors were discussing recently, saying that this year our hospital recruited two extraordinary residents, one with exceptional surgical skills and another who surpasses all department heads in theoretical knowledge. Seeing is believing, I was skeptical before, but now I fully believe it.”
The other “extraordinary” individual Director Wen referred to must be Du Leng.
A doctoral returnee from overseas is indeed impressive.
However, the qualifications of some overseas returnees can sometimes be questionable.
Judging from the formidable skills Du Leng has shown so far, he certainly seems genuine.
“Dr. Zhou, don’t just stand there, go ahead and suture the patient’s scalp too! Let me admire your superb suturing skills once more. It really resembles Dr. Xu’s style from back in the day.”
Director Wen casually mentioned the late Dr. Xu.
This shows how significant Dr. Xu was in the field of surgery back then.
“Thank you, Director Wen, for your trust.”
Zhou Can didn’t waste time talking, he directly took the needle holder and suture needle from the surgical nurse and started suturing.
He found that the surgical nurses assigned to major surgeries were all highly experienced and skilled.
Their coordination was impeccable.
What sutures to use and their sizes for different areas didn’t even need to be mentioned by Zhou Can.
Everything was prepared in advance.
Ready to use.
And the attention to details was executed excellently.
People couldn’t see Zhou Can’s suturing technique under the endoscope before. Now as he sutured the scalp, everyone truly had their eyes opened.
“His suturing skills surpass mine. Today was indeed an eye-opening experience.”
Dr. Zou felt slightly disheartened.
It was initially supposed to be a Level 4 surgery.
But it turned into Zhou Can’s solo show.
This was a Level 4 surgery! Who would have thought that a medical resident could naturally and effortlessly take on most of the critical tasks in the surgery.
Zhou Can’s speed in surgery started to adopt Dr. Xu’s ‘fast’ style.
He quickly completed suturing the head wound.
“Very good, this suturing is pleasing to the eye. The patient is currently in a very weak state, let’s have Orthopedics perform the knee surgery later.”
This car accident victim wasn’t only injured in the head, but also in the knee and other areas.
External injuries were already dealt with.
“After clearing the patient’s intracranial hematoma, the vital signs actually improved quite significantly compared to when he first came into the OR. Looking at his current state, I even suspect he could be transferred back to a regular ward after just one or two days in the ICU.”
The anesthesiologist was very confident about the patient’s condition.
He must be the one who understands the patient’s vital status the best.
“Haha, such an optimistic evaluation from you suggests the surgery went well. Let’s have him moved back to the ICU for observation after he wakes from general anesthesia!”
Director Wen was in a great mood, having successfully completed a challenging surgery.
He looked up at the clock on the wall.
“It seems I can go work on research earlier today! Indeed, endoscopic surgery has advantages over traditional surgery!”
Originally, based on his previous estimates, traditional craniotomy for this patient would require four to eight hours.
Also, there shouldn’t be any unexpected complications during the procedure.
If the patient’s vital signs plummeted, the surgery would definitely need to be stopped for emergency intervention.
That would consume even more time.
“Endoscopic surgery is indeed a major trend in development. However, some diseases cannot be properly addressed by endoscopic or minimally invasive surgery. So, I don’t believe traditional surgery will be completely phased out.”
Tang Li lacks exceptional surgical talent.
She must have deeply considered the prospects of both types of surgery.
After all, young people fear being suddenly rendered obsolete by the times the most.
“You’re right, traditional surgery will still have a role for a long time. But we must also acknowledge the rapid advancement of endoscopic surgery and its various advantages. Just like in our China, traditional Chinese medicine has been squeezed into a niche existence by Western medicine within just a century.”
Director Wen was pessimistic about the future of traditional surgery.
He even used Chinese medicine as an example.
“Our Chinese medicine is not inferior, and what’s intriguing is what my classmates who studied abroad told me. Chinese medicine is undervalued in our country, but abroad, it’s the opposite—there’s substantial development in Chinese medicine. They’ve quietly developed over ten thousand Chinese herbal varieties and have established research centers in Chinese medicine, attracting many talented Chinese practitioners to go there.”
Dr. Zou spoke of this with quite a sense of regret.
Chinese medicine remains a perpetual sorrow in the hearts of many scholars.
The market dictates everything.
The market for Chinese medicine is indisputably small.
Some visionary doctors and scholars have been calling for the protection and inheritance of Chinese medicine, albeit with little effect.
Zhou Can looked deeply at Dr. Zou, and his opinion of him greatly improved due to this recent conversation. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Honestly, Zhou Can had always maintained a neutral stance towards Chinese medicine.
Neither endorsing nor denigrating.
Just objectively assessing.
