Chapter 210: Lucky Star Zhou Can, a Great Opportunity for General Surgeons
If, at level 4, injections can perfectly avoid blood vessels, nerves and other important tissues, and operations such as thoracotomy and lumbar puncture can be done accurately in one step, then now that he has been promoted to level 5, his operation level has reached a higher level, touching a realm that he could not imagine before.
Now when he gives injections to patients, he can precisely control the area of the drug absorbed by the body and the direction of the drug flow in the muscles. At the same time, the damage to the body during the injection is minimized.
When piercing, he can pierce the target position with extreme precision without any deviation.
This is also true even when performing some extremely difficult punctures.
Level 4 injections are sufficient for more difficult punctures, but are not enough for extremely difficult punctures.
At the same time, he also gained a new ability.
Before injection, one can vaguely predict how this part of the patient will absorb the drug.
For example, if a patient needs to inject the same drug or multiple drugs every day for several consecutive days or even for a long period of time, and always injecting in the same area, it may cause serious damage to muscles and local tissues.
There is a situation where the drug cannot be absorbed.
Zhou Can can now accurately predict at a glance whether the area has reached saturation with the drug by observing the skin's rebound and skin color after pressing it.
Or you can roughly determine the damage to this part.
This way, the injection site can be changed in advance.
This ability is quite similar to the pharmacology and meridians in traditional Chinese medicine.
His hemostasis skill was only 37 experience points away from being promoted to level five.
By then, it will become the fourth deputy director level medical skill.
It is worth mentioning that during the more than one month of general surgery when he was performing surgeries crazily, he also made unexpected progress in two other medical skills.
They are occasionally used in the two orthopedic medical techniques of osteosynthesis and external fixation of fractures.
Many patients with accidental injuries in general surgery often suffer from fractures.
This also gave Zhou Can some room to use his skills.
If the disease is too serious, general surgery cannot handle it, and the only option is to ask an orthopedic surgeon to perform the surgery together. The usual practice is to recommend the patient to an orthopedic surgeon for treatment.
Zhou Can found a particularly interesting phenomenon in each department.
It was as if everyone had agreed.
When encountering patients who are beyond the capacity of our department, we will push them away if possible and never be greedy.
This makes some patients extremely depressed, as they have made appointments with five or six departments but still cannot get their illnesses cured.
…
Doctors gathered in the large conference room of the general surgery department.
Doctors from the gastrointestinal surgery and hepatobiliary surgery departments also came.
"Hello, Director Jia! Senior Sister Qiuhong is here too!"
When Zhou Can saw an acquaintance, he quickly stood up and walked over to say hello.
During his residency in the Department of Digestive Surgery, he received a lot of care from Director Jia and Qiu Hong.
Director Jia taught him everything he knew.
Now that they met, Zhou Can was naturally very enthusiastic.
"Haha, after not seeing you for two months, Xiao Zhou has become more energetic than before!" Director Jia praised him with a smile.
"And he's become even more handsome!"
Qiuhong blinked at him with her beautiful eyes, her face full of smiles.
"Haha, thank you two old leaders for still liking me so much after two months. I feel embarrassed by your praise!"
Zhou Can laughed happily.
"Director Jia is indeed a good teacher and a good leader. He has taught me before! It can be said that Director Jia has made great contributions to my success today."
Deputy Director Liu also came over.
He should be about ten years younger than Director Jia.
Zhou Can always thought that Deputy Director Liu and Director Jia were good friends, but he never expected that they were actually master and apprentice.
This is the case in larger hospitals. Many younger doctors have had a master-apprentice relationship with older colleagues in the hospital.
Doctors are a profession that requires hands-on teaching and is passed down from generation to generation.
Many old comrades have to teach many students in their lifetime.
Many older doctors, even if they are simply re-employed by the hospital and no longer hold administrative positions and have no room for advancement, do not affect their respected status at all.
Who knows, many chief physicians and department heads of important departments are their students.
How can we not respect their status?
"Old Liu is a thoughtful person! After so many years, he still remembers the friendship between teacher and student. I noticed that your two recent papers were published in domestic core journals, and your research direction is thyroid and breast surgery, which is highly consistent with your specialty. How is it? Do you have a good chance of achieving a senior professorship before retirement?"
It seems that Director Jia has also been paying attention to Mr. Liu's development trends.
There is basically no problem with Mr. Liu's other conditions, except that his academic achievements are a bit lacking.
It seems that in the past year or so, he has really made some achievements in academics.
"I have to thank you for your guidance! I would not have been able to complete the research paper on breast granuloma without your help. Now that I have been selected for the provincial science and technology award and have met the requirements for the paper, the rest can only be left to fate."
When Mr. Liu mentioned the matter of striving for a senior professional title, an extremely complicated expression of expectation appeared on his face.
After working hard for most of my life, and now with half of my body buried in the ground, this is the only goal I want to achieve.
It has become his obsession.
There is a hard rule for evaluating the title of senior medical professional: one needs to have won the third-class or higher award of the Senior Officials Science and Technology Award or a related honorary award. This condition is actually quite difficult.
Some people just can’t qualify for this award and can only feel depressed in the end.
There is another hard requirement, which is also difficult: publish a professional academic paper with the same research direction in a national academic journal. This requires being the first author to be qualified.
In fact, even if it is successfully published, there are still many variables.
Mr. Liu wrote two articles, which is almost like a double insurance. After all, he is old enough, and if he can't be evaluated, he can only sigh.
From these details, we can also see how strong Mr. Liu's obsession is.
"Just do your best in everything. This department reform should be a very good opportunity. It may not play a decisive role, but it can give you some help to a certain extent."
Director Jia is over 70 years old and has personally experienced the evaluation of senior professional titles. Many of his students have successfully obtained the titles.
So his experience is far richer than that of Mr. Liu.
The reform of general surgery is indeed a good opportunity.
Many doctors want to seize this opportunity and take a big step forward.
"Please take your seats first! This selection is personally participated by the college leaders, who will assess the scores based on multiple dimensions. With Zhou Can in your group, I expect the results will not be bad."
Director Jia is well aware of Zhou Can's abilities.
It can be said that whichever group Zhou Can is in is the blessing and luck of that group.
"You really have a keen eye. Nothing can escape your discerning eyes! This time our team was able to change our fate. Xiao Zhou's contribution exceeds the sum of all the people in our team."
Mr. Liu's evaluation of Zhou Can is beyond imagination.
In fact, Zhou Can did make outstanding contributions to this group.
"I'm not surprised at all that you say that. I've never seen such an outstanding young doctor as Dr. Zhou." Qiuhong looked at Zhou Can with her beautiful eyes, which were full of admiration.
"Hey! Senior Sister Qiu, why do you believe everything you hear? Director Liu is flattering me, you know! I am just a small trainee, and I have performed a few operations under the guidance of Dr. Liu and Dr. He, that's all."
Zhou Can doesn't dare to wear this high hat.
His contribution alone exceeds that of all the members of the team combined. If he foolishly admitted it, even if Elder Liu had no objection, the other doctors would feel uncomfortable hearing it.
Xia Huaian, director of the general surgery department, walked quickly into the conference room accompanied by Vice President Ye, another unfamiliar elegant middle-aged man, and Director Fang from the hospital office.
Zhou Can and others quickly walked back to their seats and sat down.
Following these four people, Director Xie of the General Surgery Department, Deputy Chief Hu of the Personnel Department, and several leaders of the hospital's administrative departments appeared.
The implementation of departmental reform in the Department of General Surgery is a big deal.
The hospital wants to expand from point to surface and implement a comprehensive reform of Tuya Hospital like Shang Yang's Reform.
Therefore, the higher-ups attach great importance to this matter.
"Please take a seat, doctors! We have deliberately chosen to hold this meeting during the off-duty hours so as not to affect the normal diagnosis and treatment work during the day."
Xia Huaian has strong hosting and management abilities.
Even with so many important hospital leaders attending the meeting, he remained very calm.
The return of gastrointestinal surgery and hepatobiliary surgery made him very happy.
After being divided into three parts for so long, the general surgery department is finally going to become a complete large department again.
It's as joyful as a divided country being unified.
"Now I would like to introduce the leaders attending the meeting. This is Vice President Ye who is in charge of medical work. This is Vice President Bei who is in charge of scientific research and teaching. This is Director Fang of the hospital office. This is Chief Hu of the personnel department. This is Director Xie of our general surgery department..."
It can be seen that Director Xie’s status is still quite high.
Zhou Can was quite surprised that Deputy Section Chief Hu of the Personnel Department was promoted to a full-time employee.
The hospital has thousands of employees, and everyone is working hard to climb up. Opportunities are everywhere. After a year or two, when you look at your colleagues around you, you will find that some have quietly been promoted to attending physicians, some have become team leaders of a medical team. Some have unknowingly completed a medical paper published in a national journal...
Promotion and salary increase, or progress in academic or medical skills, or winning some important awards, etc.
It is these upward opportunities that tempt everyone to work hard to climb up.
Every time you reach a new height, you can look back and look down at the people who were once at the same level as you. This sense of superiority is enough to make you feel refreshed from head to toe.
"Welcome all leaders!"
After the introduction, Xia Huaian led the applause.
There was thunderous applause from below.
With so many leaders sitting in front and watching, who dared not applaud? Anyone with a bit of brains and experience in the workplace would applaud desperately.
This is how things work. Even if you clap your hands hard, your leader may not take it too seriously.
If everyone else is clapping enthusiastically, but you are the only one who doesn't clap, or just claps twice symbolically and lazily.
What will the leader think?
Does this guy who isn't clapping have something against me?
It is easy for leaders to remember you and leave a bad impression on them.
"It is our honor to be the pilot reform department of the hospital. After a month of competition, the scores of each team in multiple dimensions have come out. Please invite Vice President Ye, who is in charge of medical work, to announce the winning teams in each field and the specific implementation plan for building sub-departments."
After Xia Huaian finished speaking, he sat down.
"I graduated from the general surgery department, so my feelings for general surgery are deeper than anyone else."
With just one sentence, Vice President Ye brought all the doctors in the department closer together.
"As we all know, the medical industry is changing with each passing day. There are many large and small hospitals. Whoever can win in the fierce modern competition will be able to become bigger and stronger. Otherwise, the hospital will go bankrupt and eventually be eliminated by the times."
Every year, hospitals of all sizes go bankrupt and close down for various reasons.
Then new hospitals sprang up.
In the past, if a hospital was about to collapse, it could at least survive for a few years.
Now, if the business is not well managed or a major crisis occurs, it may not last even half a year and will collapse directly.
The reason is that with the rapid development of the Internet, people are becoming more and more informed.
Some negative news can easily lead to disastrous consequences when amplified.
If the hospital's safety, quality, medical ethics and medical style are not properly managed, it is very easy for big news with extremely bad impact to appear.
There is also the famous doctor effect. The continuous amplification of the famous hospital effect has caused famous large hospitals to be overcrowded and small hospitals to be deserted.
"Under the wise leadership of President Zhu, our Tuya Hospital has achieved great development and remarkable progress in recent years. However, as the basic foundation continues to expand, some stubborn diseases have begun to emerge. It is incompatible with the trend of the times and has seriously weakened the competitiveness of our hospital. General Surgery is the hero department of our hospital and is even known as the mother of surgical departments."
"The department reform actually started several years ago. Although the performance of the digestive surgery and hepatobiliary surgery departments separated from the general surgery department was somewhat unsatisfactory, they accumulated valuable experience for our department reform. President Zhu organized many people from our hospital to personally visit some excellent hospitals at home and abroad for study and inspection, and learn from their successful departmental experiences. Then he listened to the opinions of many knowledgeable people and leaders of the competent departments, and finally formulated a highly feasible reform plan."
Being the dean is definitely not as leisurely as it seems.
Dean Zhu is the helmsman of Tuya Hospital and needs to formulate many far-sighted development plans and promptly identify problems in the hospital and correct or improve them.
"General surgery will become a general term for a large department, which will be completely divided into nine new sub-departments. They are liver surgery, biliary surgery, pancreatic surgery, gastrointestinal surgery, anorectal surgery, vascular surgery, breast surgery, thyroid surgery, and basic surgery. Some medical resources will be centrally allocated, and each sub-department will strive for more high-quality medical resources based on its own ability."
Hearing this, the doctors sitting below were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They were rubbing their hands and wishing they could become the leaders of a sub-department right away.
Originally, everyone was developing within the large department of general surgery, where the opportunities were relatively much smaller.
Some doctors who are excellent in a certain popular field may be buried directly.
For example, Director Yang Qing is good at pancreatic surgery and has good strength in other surgical fields. Patients may register for his comprehensive reputation.
Other doctors who are good at breast, liver or biliary surgery may be buried.
Now that departments are subdivided, this drawback can be effectively eliminated.
It is in line with the trend of the times to highly subdivide general surgery, and Tuya Hospital's general surgery department definitely has this strength.
"The winners of the nine sub-fields will be announced below. The establishment of sub-departments will be the sole responsibility of the team leaders. After the sub-department is established, the team leader will automatically be promoted to the director of the sub-department. If the team leader is an associate chief physician and meets all the basic requirements, the hospital will help him complete the evaluation of the senior professional title."
With the help of the hospital in evaluating the senior professional title, although it may not be a sure thing, at least the success rate will be several percent higher.
Such a large hospital has so many resources that can be mobilized.
Deputy Director Liu's breathing became rapid. This was exactly what he was waiting for.
