My Medical Skills Give Me Experiences Chapter 31

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“This is the ICU of our emergency department. It has a total of eight beds and is under closed-loop and sterile management. Equipment available are the commonly used ones. Multifunctional monitors, invasive and noninvasive ventilators, defibrillators, and so on. These instruments require you to be proficient in operating and using them. If you don't know how to use them, you can go in and learn after work.”

Dr. Xu did not bring them in.

Due to the requirement to maintain a sterile environment inside, the management of people entering and leaving was especially strict.

In principle, family members were not allowed to visit.

Medical personnel had to follow the procedures strictly.

“You're still new here. We won't arrange the ICU for you to be on duty for the time being. I suggest that you go in often to learn and help the doctors on duty. You can learn a lot from them.”

The people living in the ICU ward were all critically ill. All kinds of emergencies could happen at any time, so they had to be handed over to experienced doctors to take care of.

It was very difficult for newbies to be qualified for duty without three to five years of learning.

“Let's go and take a look at the operating theater again. I heard that both of you are good at surgery. I really hope that you can grow up quickly. This way, we can alleviate the serious shortage of manpower in the Emergency Department.”

When Director Lou chose people, he took a fancy to their surgical skills. hoping that they could help out in the department.

After the three of them entered the operating theater, they changed into surgical protective clothes in the changing room.

“There are a total of four doctors on duty in the operating theater including me. Most of the surgeries we do are relatively simple, such as suturing small wounds and cutting appendixes. There are also exploratory surgeries, such as cesarean exploration, intracranial exploration, and so on.”

Dr. Xu roughly introduced the personnel in the operating theater and the types of surgeries they often performed.

These minor surgeries were what Zhou Can needed at the moment.

With his current surgical ability, he could forget about difficult surgeries. He would first do some small surgeries to quickly accumulate experience and improve his medical skills. This was the most suitable path for his development.

He could not become proficient overnight.

He could only accumulate them.

At this moment, there was only a doctor and a nurse operating on the patient in the operating theater.

“Isn't this surgery team a little too simplified?”

Previously when Zhou Can followed Deputy Director Liu into the operating theater, he would always be surrounded by people. There were at least 10 doctors and nurses of all levels.

In addition, the operating theater was quite small. It was far inferior to the large operating theater of the General Surgery Department.

The surgical equipment inside was only the most basic.

From this, it could be seen how great the difference in strength between the emergency department and the surgical department was.

No wonder the Emergency Department had a low status.

The entire emergency department was probably inferior to the general surgery department.

“This doctor undergoing surgery is Dr. Lu, a senior resident doctor. She's an operating theater nurse, Liu Jing. She's relatively inexperienced.” After Dr. Xu introduced them, he turned his body and made way for the two newbies. “This is Dr. Zhou Can, and this is Dr. Jin Mingxi, a new House Officer.”

The doctor who was performing the surgery stopped and smiled at the two of them.

“Welcome to the emergency department.”

“Please take care of me in the future.”

Zhou Can lowered his posture.

“We're all from the same department, so we should help each other. Let's talk after I finish the surgery.” Doctor Lu lowered his head and continued the surgery.

Zhou Can's gaze followed the patient's wound.

“This patient was accidentally bitten by a dog.”

Even though Dr. Xu was not in the operating theater, he knew the patient's situation very well.

If he was not wrong, the superior doctor in the operating theater was Doctor Xu. This Doctor Lu was going to operate under Doctor Xu's guidance.

A large piece of flesh on the patient's right calf could be seen being bitten open.

Currently, the debridement inside the wound has basically ended.

Zhou Can was extremely tempted seeing that the opportunity to earn experience was right in front of him.

It was a good opportunity to show off his suturing ability in front of Doctor Xu so that he could obtain more training opportunities in the future.

“Doctor Lu, I see that you're working quite hard. Why don't you leave the rest of the sutures to me?”

Zhou Can was someone who wouldn't let go of an opportunity.

He fought for it shamelessly.

Doctor Lu was indeed quite tired. He was very willing to have someone take over the rest of his work.

Senior resident doctors had long looked down on training opportunities like skin sutures.

“You have to ask Dr. Xu about this. I can't make the decision.”

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

Doctor Lu did not dare to agree easily.

House Officers were basically newbies, and their suturing skills were not flattering.

Doctor Xu was the one who brought him here. He believed that Doctor Xu knew what to do.

“Have you sutured before? I'm not talking about practicing on pig skin!”

Dr. Xu asked.

All of them progressed from being interns. Dr. Xu naturally understood that it was very difficult for interns to get a chance at a real practice session that involved sutures and perforation.

“Doctors, you can't use me as a lab rat to practice!”

The patient was given local anesthesia, but he was still awake.

He was very resistant when he heard that this young House Officer doctor wanted to stitch up his wound.

“I did sutures when I was undergoing surgery with Chief Physician Liu.”

“Chief Physician Liu Qingzhi of the General Surgery Department?”

Doctor Xu clearly knew Elder Liu.

“That's him.” Zhou Can nodded.

“Elder Liu is a famous surgeon in the General Surgery Department. The surgeries he does are basically Level Three difficult surgeries. The opportunity to suture the skin and close the perforation shouldn't be given to an intern like you, right?”

Dr. Xu didn't hide anything and refuted Zhou Can in front of the patient.

His sharp gaze stared intently into Zhou Can's eyes.

Clearly, he suspected that Zhou Can was deliberately lying to get a chance to train.

If he was certain that there was something wrong with Zhou Can's character, not only would Dr. Xu not give him a chance to train, but he would also be on guard in the future. It was already considered polite of him to be sidelined.

“Perhaps Elder Liu trusted me. At that time, it was a neck lymph node nodule resection surgery. The wound was quite big. I sutured the subcutaneous tissue and epidermis for a long time.”

Zhou Can had a calm expression.

Dr. Xu could go and ask about these things.

If Zhou Can entered the surgical department during the Department Director selection this time, there was a high chance that Elder Liu would want him to be his disciple and focus on cultivating him.

“Resection of lymph nodes and tuberculosis in the neck? This is a difficult surgery infinitely close to Level Four. The suturing of the neck is even more dangerous. When Elder Liu performs surgery, even a senior attending physician can only be a first assistant or even a second assistant. He will definitely prioritize resident doctors for the opportunity to suture the skin and perforation. I don't think I'll let an intern like you suture the neck.”

Not only was Dr. Xu stern, but he also liked to take things seriously.

It was a very small matter. He did not expect him to rise to such a height.

“If you really don't believe me, I have no choice. I just saw that Doctor Lu was working hard and wanted to help him share some of the burden. Since you have doubts now, I won't do the suture this time.”

Zhou Can was somewhat speechless. He never expected to meet such a serious senior doctor.

The misunderstanding would be clarified sooner or later.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry.

“You might not know me yet. I can tolerate the standard of my doctors and their slow improvement, but I definitely can't allow there to be a problem with their character. Tell me the truth, are you lying on purpose to fight for a chance to train?”

Dr. Xu's gaze was cold.

His expression turned even colder.

It was a little terrifying.

“I'm not lying.”

Zhou Can denied again.

“If you take the initiative to admit it now, I can still give you a chance. At most, I'll kick you out of the emergency department. I'm afraid you won't even be able to stay with Tu Ya if you think that you can get away with it and wait for me to find out before you admit it,”

Dr. Xu's expression and tone were especially serious. If he could say it, he could really do it.

“I'm indeed not lying,” Zhou Can emphasized.

Was Dr. Xu crazy? Wasn't he just fighting for a chance to suture the skin?

Did he have to be so serious? He cursed in his heart.

He was already a little disappointed that he could not enter the better departments. If he was kicked out by a superior doctor as soon as he entered the emergency department, which department would dare to want him in the future?

“Alright, I'll call and ask now. To tell you the truth, I'm quite familiar with Elder Liu.”

Dr. Xu sneered.

Clearly, he was certain that Zhou Can was lying.

As soon as he finished speaking, he really took out his phone and called Elder Liu.

Dr. Lu and the nurse in front of the operating table looked at Zhou Can sympathetically. They seemed to be used to Dr. Xu's serious behavior.
