Chapter 1 One Hundred Thousand Sutures
In the intern dormitory of Tuya Hospital, other roommates were either still working the night shift or fast asleep.
There was only a handsome young man who was practicing suturing diligently.
"Stitch 201, stitch 202..."
Zhou Can would count silently after each stitch.
Today's goal is to sew 300 stitches.
Even though he was already exhausted and waves of sleepiness were coming like the tide, he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
He had to be tough on himself. His one-year internship was about to end, and he wanted to stay in the hospital to work. The regular training recruitment in two days would be his only chance.
Tuya is a provincial-level Class III hospital with complete hardware and software facilities and many famous doctors.
Being able to stay and work here will not only allow you to learn many advanced medical skills, but also broaden your horizons and improve your outlook. There is huge room for growth and the future will be bright.
Everyone wants to stay, so the competition is bound to be fierce.
He is only good at pathological diagnosis, and his medical skills are far behind those of excellent interns.
If you want to stay, you have to work harder than others.
The piece of pig skin covered with dense stitches in his hand witnessed his sweat.
Pig skin is very similar to human skin and is an excellent tool for practicing sewing.
The closer the props are to the human body, the better the practice effect will be.
I was becoming more and more sleepy, and the clock on the wall had already reached midnight.
He ran to wash his face with cold water, and after driving away his sleepiness, he continued to persevere with gritted teeth.
After nearly two hours, he managed to sew 300 stitches with his iron will.
[Congratulations on completing 100,000 sutures and triggering the experience value system. You can gain medical experience points by practicing medical skills and performing surgeries.]
Zhou Can shook his head vigorously.
What the hell is this?
As he thought, even more miraculous things happened.
An interface appeared in front of him.
【Zhou Can, intern】
[Pathological diagnosis, level 2, current experience value 89.5/100. Excellent level of diagnostic ability for doctors in training.]
[Incision, Level 1, current experience value 7.6/10. Dissection ability practice medium level. ]
[Suture, Level 1, current experience value 8.1/10. Excellent level of suture ability practice.]
[Lavender, Level 1, current experience value 8.5/10. Excellent level of vasectomy skills training.]
[Hemostasis, level 1, current experience value 4.8/10. Hemostasis ability practice failing level. ]
…
After looking through all the attributes, he found that all the scores were very pertinent.
Pathological diagnosis has always been his strong point and his only advantage.
When discussing medical records in the department, he is better than most interns.
Suturing and ligation were the medical skills he practiced most.
It is not surprising that he can reach the excellent level of an intern.
As for other medical skills, due to limited energy, we cannot take care of all of them, so they are somewhat lagging behind.
"What is the use of this experience value system?"
Zhou Can had seen many novels where the protagonists took off after obtaining the system. Now that such a good thing had fallen on him, he naturally wanted to dig into this "gold mine".
Tried to put a stitch in the pig skin.
[Suture experience value +0.1, ligation experience value +0.1. ]
He couldn't help feeling ecstatic.
Before, I practiced suturing 100,000 times, but my experience score was still only 8.1. Now, after just one suturing, my experience score has risen to 8.2. This speed of improvement is like a rocket.
If his experience points continue to increase at this rate, he only needs to sew 18 more stitches before his suture skills can be promoted to level two.
He suddenly felt full of energy and no longer felt sleepy.
Regardless of the fact that the clock had already pointed to zero, he continued to practice sewing on the piece of pig skin.
The experience points are also rising rapidly.
When he finished sewing the fourteenth stitch, he felt as if an electric current was flowing through his body, making him feel comfortable all over.
[Congratulations on your ligation skill reaching level 2! Current experience value 0/100. The ligation skill is at the lower level of regular training.]
His understanding, application and operation of ligation seemed to have reached a new peak never reached before.
Wow, you’ve been promoted to the regular training level so quickly!
With a pendant in hand, the world is mine.
Itching to show off his skills, he tried to tie a square knot with both hands on the spot.
It only takes 0.5 seconds.
It used to take him at least 5 seconds to tie a square knot, but now it’s 10 times faster.
Comparing it with the knots I tied before the promotion, they are completely different in terms of neatness or strength.
I heard that the directors ’ knot-tying skills are so high that they can hold the needle holder in one hand and operate on tofu pudding or a ball of cotton, ensuring that the tofu pudding is not damaged and the knots are tied firmly.
Just imagine how fragile tofu pudding is. It will fall apart if you just pull the knot.
Zhou Can is still a long way from that level.
However, he believed that with this magical experience value system, it was not impossible to defeat the director.
After trying to tie the knot with both hands, he tried to tie the knot with one hand, which took 18 seconds and the knot was more secure. The pull on the suture part was tight.
He didn't try to tie the knot with one hand.
If you can't tie it properly with your hands, it will definitely be worse if you use pliers to tie the knot.
Just like the swordsmen in martial arts novels, one needs to practice sword skills to the point where he can use them as easily as his own arms before he can be considered to have made some minor achievements.
Tweezers and pliers were far from coming alive in his hands.
It's even a little clumsy and not even dexterous.
Zhou Can kept his head down and continued to practice hard.
As his ligation skills improved, his suturing speed also increased.
Soon, his suture experience value rose to 10/10 as he wished.
[Congratulations on reaching level 2 in suturing! Current experience value 0/100. Your suturing skills are at a lower level.]
Finally upgraded.
He grinned.
He was fascinated by the wonderful feeling when his medical skills were upgraded.
This also means that the gap between him and outstanding interns is narrowing.
At this rate of improvement, it won’t be long before we can surpass them.
After the suture technique was upgraded, some previously difficult to understand aspects of suture became clear. The application and operation of suture are now completely different.
He couldn't wait to experience the upgraded suturing technique.
Hold the needle with forceps, pierce it into the pig skin, pull it out, and then tie a knot.
All the movements were done in one go, showing the demeanor of a master.
The time for sewing a stitch was shortened by nearly 50 seconds. The suturing effect was qualitatively improved, the wound skin was aligned very neatly, the angle of the suture needle was just right, and the distance from the skin incision edge was just right.
This is the suturing ability after the upgrade.
At this moment, he looked at the previous stitches again.
Just two words: "rubbish!"
He can now spot at a glance some of the deficiencies and shortcomings in the stitching.
This is like looking at the homework I did in the first grade after I was in the sixth grade, and feeling disgusted. How come the handwriting is so ugly? How can you even get such a simple arithmetic problem wrong? How stupid!
He felt that his medical skills were improving rapidly, and the invisible pressure brought to him by those outstanding interns had been almost eliminated.
Instead, there is full confidence in his brows.
At this moment, the pig skin has been completely sewn.
Zhou Can picked up the scalpel, ready to squeeze out the last bit of its value.
After finding the right position for the knife, the scalpel carefully cuts across the area.
[Cut experience +0.1. ]
Each time you cut a hole, the cutting experience value will increase by 0.1.
After 21 cuts, the pig skin was no longer useful.
Seeing that he only needed 0.3 experience points to be promoted to the second level of incision medicine, even though he was unwilling, he had to get rid of the garbage.
If I buy another piece of pig skin tomorrow, I will definitely be able to upgrade the incision technique to level two.
The clock strikes one in the morning. It's time to go to bed.
I have to go to work tomorrow.
