My Medical Skills Give Me Experiences Chapter 6

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The resident doctors at the back became anxious when they heard this.

“Doctor Zhou has never done it before. The wound to suture is a neck with a high risk factor. For the sake of safety, I suggest you not fight for this chance this time. Even I, who have completed many Level One and Level Two surgeries, dare to say that I'm 100% confident.” Someone rushed to say before Elder Liu could speak.

Another resident doctor nodded and echoed, “Safety is paramount! It will be safer if we have resident doctors with a certain level of experience for skin sutures.”

They were all highly educated and intelligent. Everyone was not careless when fighting for training opportunities.

Elder Liu was also in a difficult position.

The difficulty of suturing a Level Three surgery's wound was greater than that of a Level One or Two surgery.

Zhou Can was only an intern. To be honest, he was very worried.

However, Zhou Can had made a great contribution in this surgery. He had saved Elder Liu's dignity and the patient's life. He was greatly indebted to him.

Elder Liu could not bear to reject Zhou Can's yearning gaze.

“How about this? Try one suture first. You'll suture the skin if your level is alright.”

Elder Liu thought for a few seconds and finally decided to give him a chance.

“Thank you! Thank you! I'll definitely do my best.”

Zhou Can was extremely excited.

He naturally cherished the opportunity to undergo his first surgery in his life.

It would be much easier to get a chance to stitch up the skin in the future as long as he did well this time.

This was called seniority.

The profession of a doctor was very special. Safety was greater than anything else.

Seniority was very important.

For example, for a doctor who had successfully performed a lung cancer removal surgery. When there was a similar case, he would confidently say, “I've done this kind of surgery before. The patient has already recovered.”

The patient would immediately feel relieved when he heard this.

I've found the right Doctor. Doctor, I'll leave myself in your good hands.

See, this was one of the functions of seniority.

“Little Zhou, stand in my position and suture!”

The first assistant retreated to the side and made way.

Zhou Can hesitated for a moment before walking over with a determined gaze. He stood at the best position on the operating table.

This was a surgery of Level Three difficulty.

As an intern, he could brag about being the chief surgeon for the rest of his life.

He took three deep breaths and tried his best to calm down.

On the first day they entered the operating theater, Elder Liu taught them that they had to be calm when performing any surgery.

He took the needle holder and tweezers from the scrub nurse.

The needle and thread were all in place.

He only needed to suture it directly.

All eyes were on him.

Zhou Can subconsciously tightened his grip on the suture tool in his hand looking at the open flesh and blood. He still couldn't help but feel nervous as his heart raced no matter how hard he tried to maintain his composure.

“Don't be afraid. Just be bold and careful. Everyone has been through this.”

The third assistant smiled and comforted him.

Just now, the two of them had held the suture together. They could be considered to have some form of fate.

Zhou Can looked up and nodded gratefully at him.

Then, he lowered his head again and stared at the patient's wound. He quickly came up with a suturing plan in his mind according to his understanding of suturing.

After choosing the first needle position, he inserted it diagonally and pierced it and out.

Then, he carefully tied the knot.

[Suture EXP+1.]

At this moment, he was fully focused on suturing. The EXP gained from each stitch was an entire point, but he actually ignored it.

It was this focus that made him appear especially calm.

Elder Liu did not stop him, and the other doctors could not disturb him.

Zhou Can continued sewing.

They usually did not use simple intermittent suture for the suture of the subcutaneous tissue. Instead, they usually used continuous sutures in a place like this where the tension was not strong.

His suturing became more and more skilled and confident.

Nervousness, fear of not suturing well, fear of being scolded, all of them were thrown to the back of his mind.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

There was only one thought in his mind now. He had to do his best to sew up the patient's wound.

[Congratulations on upgrading your suturing technique to Level Three! Current EXP: 0/1,000. Inferior resident doctor's suturing ability.]

His suture EXP had reached Level Two last night, 87.8/100.

Every stitch he did now could add one EXP.

After the 13th stitch, the suture technique actually advanced at this critical point.

The heavens reward hard work. Heaven helps those who are self-reliant.

His suturing level had increased greatly to the level of a resident doctor. It was immediately reflected in his suturing.

Chief Physician Liu, who was standing in front of the operating table, had deep admiration in his eyes.

This child was really talented and improved at lightning speed.

The first stitch was still especially tender. His technique, movements, and perfection could only be said to be barely passable.

However, looking at his current level not only did the suture speed clearly increase, but the technique was clean and neat. The movements were smooth and standard, and the tissue was more neatly aligned. The suture tension was also just right. This sutured wound would heal faster without a doubt.

He was worth teaching. He would definitely become a great person in the future.

Elder Liu was happy to find a good seedling.

There were two things that doctors were most gratified about. The patient would recover and there would be a successor to his medical skills.

The first assistant was also shocked by Zhou Can's rapid improvement.

The second assistant was expressionless, but surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes.

The third assistant nodded repeatedly, the smile on his face growing wider.

The Chief Resident's expression was a little comical. He stared intently at Zhou Can's actions as his eyes widened until they were about to fall out. Perhaps he had never imagined that this intern who he ordered around every day was so powerful.

The few resident doctors at the back were initially hoping that Zhou Can's suturing would not pass, so that Chief Physician Liu would kick him off the operating table.

Then they would have a chance to go up.

Unexpectedly, this kid worked hard and his performance became more and more outstanding.

From the looks of it, they were completely hopeless.

All of them looked disappointed.

The dozen or so interns standing at the back had different reactions. Some were envious, some admired, and there were probably some who were jealous.

They were all interns, so why was the difference so big?

Two unmarried nurses had already begun to sized up this extraordinary Intern.

He was handsome and strong, which was quite attractive to girls.

Zhou Can turned a deaf ear to the outside world. In his eyes, heart, and mind, there was only the patient's wound and suture.

After his suturing technique reached Level Three, he seemed to be very proficient in the subsequent suturing.

The stitching was getting better.

Of course, his EXP for suturing and ligation were also increasing rapidly.

After suturing the subcutaneous tissue, the next step was to suture the skin.

It was very different from the feeling of practicing suturing the pig skin.

Other than the feeling, his mentality was also very different.

This was stitching on the patient's body after all. It was like walking on a tightrope. Every stitch and even every knot was like walking on thin ice. He did not dare to be careless.

[Congratulations on upgrading your ligation technique to Level Three! Current EXP: 0/1,000. Inferior Resident Doctor's ligation ability.]

When the skin suture was about to end, Ligation had actually risen to Level Three too.

He had two medical skills that had reached the level of a Resident Doctor now. This had also become his two trump cards for participating in the House Officer recruitment.

Level Three suture and ligation already had the ability to anastomose ordinary blood vessels. He could even challenge nerve anastomosis, which was more difficult than ordinary blood vessel anastomosis.

Finally, he finished the last stitch.

He used the Level Three ligation that he had just advanced to and made a beautiful and firm square knot.

“Chief Physician Liu, the suture is complete. Please check.”

Zhou Can respectfully retreated to the side and gave up his space.

Only then did he realize that his back was wet.

He had been focused on suturing just now and had been extremely tense. It had also consumed a lot of stamina to the point where he was sweating.

However, this sweat was worth it.

This was because a novice like him had finally completed his first real surgery suture and bravely taken the first step in his career.

He had studied hard for many years and trained hard day and night below the stage so that he could stand on the operating table one day to save the patient.

It opened up a good beginning for him even though suturing the skin was not a high-end skill.
