Chapter 350 -169: Calling the Chief Physician Directly. Zhou Can’s Status in the Operating Room _2

It’s just not like Doctor Hu to dilly-dally.

“Alright, I’ll get in touch right now.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Can returned the mobile to Doctor Hu.

Then, without any panic, he took out his own phone, and under the half-doubting gaze of Doctor Hu, dialed Director Wen’s number.

Doctor Hu didn’t talk, just fixated his eyes on Zhou Can.

Wondering which level of a neurosurgeon this kid could possibly reach?

“Xiao Zhou, do you miss me already, just two days after leaving Neurosurgery?” Director Wen’s cordial voice came through the phone.

Doctor Hu could tell, the person on the phone had a very good relationship with Zhou Can.

As casual as old friends.

Judged by the voice, the person must be of Chief Level at least!

An older doctor should at least manage to secure a chief title. If one doesn’t reach that rank by the age of forty-five, their career usually doesn’t end well.

Either change paths, move to an administrative position, or get shuffled off to a secondary or tertiary hospital.

Typically, if a doctor doesn’t advance to chief level by the age 40, many would voluntarily shift to a lower tier hospital for new opportunities without waiting for the hospital to make adjustments.

Doctors from Tu Ya’s hospital are well recognized by other provinces.

For instance, a senior resident doctor from Tu Ya might just be an average Joe there. But at a lower tier hospital, as long as the doctor has passed the chief physician exam, the hospital would directly issue a letter of appointment for that position.

Even without passing the chief physician exam, the new hospital would find ways to help.

If project experience is needed, they help with projects; if surgical quotas need to be met, they pile up surgery opportunities. They might even assist with publishing papers.

In short, they do everything possible to help you get promoted to chief.

Seeing that Zhou Can had reached out to a Chief-level neurosurgeon, Doctor Hu felt a bit more confident about the situation.

“Heh, I do miss you quite a bit. I was planning to visit you again in a while, but now I have a patient insisting I must find you tonight.”

Zhou Can replied with a smile.

“I knew you wouldn’t call unless you needed something. So, what kind of patient are we talking about?”

Director Wen chortled.

“Bed 6 in the intensive care unit has a car accident victim with extensive intracranial hemorrhaging and is in a deep coma…”

Zhou Can briefly explained the situation.

“Do you think we could perform the intracranial endoscopic surgery tonight? I could assist you.”

After explaining the patient’s condition, Zhou Can stated his ultimate purpose.

He was very aware that Director Wen’s endoscopic surgery skills were ordinary. Volunteering to assist was enough to multiply Director Wen’s confidence in the surgery’s success.

Doctor Hu at his side went wide-eyed upon hearing this.

He had thought Zhou Can could at best reach out to a chief-level doctor, and only then did he realize that Zhou Can had contacted a neurosurgery director.

This kid was incredible.

When Doctor Hu was a trainee, just having a few conversations with the chief resident would elate him. He wouldn’t even dare to dream of casually chatting with a department director like old friends.

“If the patient’s condition is like this, we generally do not recommend surgery. The risk is too high. But I am moved by your tremendous effort to save the patient’s life. Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll discuss this with Director Wu and then talk to the family. If the family is willing to accept the worst outcome, you and I can join hands and give it a try.”

After a moment of hesitation, Director Wen said this.

What?

A director and Zhou Can working together? Are they elevating Zhou Can to the same level?

Doctor Hu was shocked to the core.

He was starting to realize that Zhou Can’s high standing was won by his capability.

If he knew that in the surgery with Director Wen, Director Wen would only be assisting, he would be even more astonished.

…

Less than half an hour later, Director Wen’s phone call came through.

Zhou Can and Doctor Hu had been waiting in the on-call room.

During this time, Director Liu also rushed back to the hospital to start preparing for the patient’s surgery.

Now, they were just waiting for news from Neurosurgery.

If the department director from Neurosurgery doesn’t take the risk, then this matter might end here.

“Xiao Zhou, I’ve got good news for you.”

“Does this mean Neurosurgery agrees to perform the surgery on the patient?”

Zhou Can was full of hope.

“Yes, after discussing with Director Wu, we feel that taking some risks is worth saving a life. We urgently communicated with the family afterward, and knowing the patient’s situation, they were very grateful to our hospital for willing to take the risk to save the patient. At present, the family has signed the surgery consent form and also made an advance payment for the surgery.” freewebnoveℓ.com

Indeed, Director Wen brought good news.

The family was the most anxious party, being very proactive upon hearing that there was a chance to save the patient.

For such special surgeries, the family’s attitude is also crucial.

Faced with problematic families, every doctor would become as timid as a turtle, taking no risks.

After all, everyone is on a salary.

Saving one more patient, or one less, doesn’t really affect the doctors much.

“That’s great! Should we immediately send the patient to the operating room or what’s the plan? The patient’s condition is dire, the sooner the surgery, the better.”

Zhou Can was extremely pleased.

Doctor Hu and Director Liu at his side were equally exhilarated.

They hadn’t expected Zhou Can to actually make this happen.

Both had a whole new understanding of Zhou Can’s influence in Neurosurgery.

“Hold off on the celebrations for a moment. You know the patient’s situation. While Neurosurgery is operating on the patient, we need at least one deputy director-level physician from the Intensive Care Medicine Department to provide full support alongside the anesthesiologist and offer life support to the patient. And then, you must come over and assist me.”
