Chapter 26 Dr. Xu, a Serious Doctor
"This is the ICU of our emergency department. It has a total of eight beds and is under closed sterile management. The equipment is the usual ones, including multi-function monitors, invasive and non-invasive ventilators, defibrillators, etc. You are required to be able to operate and use these instruments skillfully. If you don't know how, you can go in and learn after get off work."
Dr. Xu did not take them in.
Because a sterile environment is required inside, the management of personnel entering and exiting is extremely strict.
In principle, family members are not allowed to visit.
Medical staff must also strictly follow the procedures when entering and exiting.
"You are still new, and the ICU will not arrange for you to be on duty for the time being. I suggest that you go in and study frequently and help the doctors on duty. You can learn a lot from it."
The ICU ward is full of critically ill patients. Various emergencies may occur at any time and must be handed over to the care of experienced doctors.
It is difficult for newcomers to be competent for on-duty duties without three to five years of training.
"Come on, I'll take you to the operating room. I heard that both of you have good surgical skills. I especially hope that you can grow quickly so that we can alleviate the serious shortage of staff in the emergency department."
When Director Lou was selecting people, he took into account the surgical abilities of these two people.
I hope I can bring it back and work.
After the three entered the operating room, they changed into surgical protective clothing in the changing room.
"There are four doctors on duty in the operating room, including me. Most of the surgeries we perform are relatively simple, such as suturing small wounds and removing the appendix. There are also exploratory surgeries, such as laparotomy and intracranial exploration."
Dr. Xu briefly introduced the staffing of the operating room and the types of surgeries that are commonly performed.
These minor operations are exactly what Zhou Can needs right now.
With his current surgical ability, he could not even think about performing difficult surgeries. He should first perform some minor surgeries, quickly accumulate experience points, and improve his medical skills. This was the most suitable development path for him.
You can't get fat in one bite.
You can only eat one bite at a time.
In the operating room, there was only a doctor and a nurse performing surgery on the patient.
"This surgical team is a bit too streamlined ."
Zhou Can used to follow Deputy Director Liu into the operating room. Every time, there would be a crowd of people in front and behind, with at least a dozen doctors and nurses at all levels.
In addition, the operating room is quite small and is far from comparable to the large operating room in general surgery.
The surgical equipment inside is only the most basic.
These also show how huge the gap in strength is between the emergency department and the surgery department.
No wonder the emergency department has such a low status.
I guess the entire emergency department is not as good as the general surgery department under the surgery department.
"The doctor who is performing the surgery is Dr. Lu, a senior resident. She is the operating room nurse, Liu Jing, who is less experienced." After Dr. Xu introduced them, he stepped aside to let the two newcomers out. "This is Dr. Zhou Can, and this is Dr. Jin Mingxi, a newly recruited resident trainee."
The doctor who was performing the operation stopped the operation and smiled at the two of them.
"Welcome to the emergency department."
"Please take care of me in the future."
Zhou Can kept a very low profile.
"We are all in the same department and should help each other. Let's talk after I finish the operation." Dr. Lu lowered his head and continued the operation.
Zhou Can's gaze naturally turned to the patient's wound.
"This patient was accidentally bitten by a dog."
Although Dr. Xu did not stay in the operating room, he was very familiar with the patient's condition.
If I'm not mistaken, the senior doctor in the operating room is Dr. Xu, and Dr. Lu will perform the operation under the guidance of Dr. Xu.
It can be seen that a large piece of flesh on the patient's right calf was torn off.
At present, the debridement inside the wound has basically been completed.
Seeing the opportunity to earn experience points right before his eyes, Zhou Can was extremely excited.
It's a good opportunity to show off my suturing skills in front of Dr. Xu, so that I can get more training opportunities in the future.
"Doctor Lu, I see you're working very hard. Why don't you let me do the rest of the skin stitching?"
Zhou Can is a person who will not let go of any opportunity.
Fight for it with a shameless face.
Dr. Lu is indeed very tired, and he is happy that someone is willing to take over and complete the rest of his work.
For senior residents, training opportunities such as skin suture have long been disregarded.
"You have to ask Dr. Xu about this. I can't make the decision."
Dr. Lu didn't dare to agree easily.
The trainees are basically novices and their suturing skills are not very good.
The person was brought here by Dr. Xu, and I believe Dr. Xu has the situation in mind.
"Have you ever sewn before? I don't mean practicing on pig skin!"
Dr. Xu asked.
As they were all interns, Dr. Xu naturally understood that it was difficult for interns to get the opportunity to practice skin suturing and cavity sealing.
"Doctors, you can't use me as a guinea pig!"
The patient was given local anesthesia and was still conscious.
When he heard that the young resident doctor was going to suture his wound, he was very resistant.
"I sewed it during surgery with Director Liu."
"Director Liu Qingzhi of the General Hospital?"
Dr. Xu obviously also knew Mr. Liu.
"It's him." Zhou Can nodded.
"Mr. Liu is a famous surgeon in the general surgery department. Most of the surgeries he performs are level 3 high-difficulty surgeries. It shouldn't be the chance for an intern like you to sew skin or close a cavity, right?"
Dr. Xu did not shy away from refuting Zhou Can directly in front of the patient.
His sharp eyes were fixed on Zhou Can's eyes.
Obviously, he suspected that Zhou Can deliberately lied in order to get a training opportunity.
If Dr. Xu is sure that Zhou Can has a problem with his character, he will not only not give him a chance to exercise, but will also be cautious in the future. It is considered polite to give Zhou Can a cold shoulder.
"Maybe it's because Elder Liu trusts me. I was doing a cervical lymph node tuberculosis removal operation. The wound was quite large, between the subcutaneous tissue and the epidermis. I took a long time to sew it."
Zhou Can looked calm.
Any doctor can check or ask about these things.
If Zhou Can had entered the surgical department when the department director was selecting people this time, there was a high probability that he would have been successfully selected by Master Liu to be his apprentice and would have been given intensive training.
"A tuberculous lymph node removal surgery for the neck? This is a difficult major surgery that is close to level 4. Suturing the neck is even more dangerous. When Elder Liu performs the surgery, even the senior attending physicians can only be ranked as the first or second assistant. When it comes to suturing the skin and closing the cavity, residents will definitely be given priority. I don't believe that they will let an intern suture the neck."
Dr. Xu is not only serious, but also very particular about things.
It was a very small matter, but I didn't expect him to elevate it to such a high level.
"If you really don't believe me, I can't help you. I just saw that Dr. Lu was working very hard, so I wanted to help him share some of the burden within my ability. Since you have doubts now, I won't do the suture this time."
Zhou Can was speechless. He didn't expect to meet such a picky senior doctor.
Misunderstandings will be cleared up sooner or later.
So he was not in a hurry.
"You may not know me yet. I can tolerate the poor level and slow progress of my doctors, but I will never allow them to have bad character. Tell me the truth, did you lie on purpose to get a chance to practice?"
Doctor Xu's eyes were icy cold.
His face became even colder.
It's a bit scary.
"I'm not lying."
Zhou Can denied it again.
"If you admit it now, I can still give you a chance. The most I can do is kick you out of the emergency department. If you are still hoping for the best and wait until I find out the truth before you admit it, I'm afraid you won't even be able to stay in Tuya."
Doctor Xu's expression and tone are extremely serious. If he can say it, he can really do it.
"I really didn't lie." Zhou Can emphasized.
He cursed in his heart, is this Doctor Xu mentally ill? Isn't it just a chance to sew the skin?
Is it to the point of being escalated?
He was already feeling a little disappointed for not being able to enter a powerful department. If he was kicked out by the senior doctors as soon as he entered the emergency department, which department would dare to hire him in the future?
"Okay, I'll call and ask now. To tell you the truth, I happen to be quite familiar with Mr. Liu."
Doctor Xu sneered.
Obviously, he had determined that Zhou Can was lying.
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out his cell phone and called Mr. Liu.
Doctor Lu and the nurse in front of the operating table looked at Zhou Can with sympathy. They seemed to have long been accustomed to Doctor Xu's fussy behavior.
