Chapter 27 Recognition
Jin Mingxi was so frightened that his heart was beating fast and his face turned pale.
I guess after learning from Zhou Can's experience, I will be very careful with what I say next time. Otherwise, if I touch a sensitive nerve of Dr. Xu, he will be in trouble in a matter of minutes.
Dr. Xu called Mr. Liu to verify the situation.
Dr. Lu continued to perform the final debridement for the patient and prepare for suturing.
"Hello, Director Liu!"
"Oh, it's Lao Xu! I guess you must have something to ask."
It sounds like the two of them are very familiar with each other.
"Nothing special, I just wanted to ask if you know an intern named Zhou Can."
"Let me introduce him to you. He's a very nice young man. I was thinking of accepting him as my last disciple after he got the qualification for in-hospital training. But he was snatched away by your emergency department. What happened?"
When Mr. Liu mentioned Zhou Can, he was full of praise.
"It sounds like you think highly of him!" Doctor Xu's face, which was originally gloomy, softened a lot. "Nothing else, I just want to ask if you had him suture the skin when you performed the operation on him?"
From Mr. Liu's high praise for Zhou Can, he was basically certain that Zhou Can was not lying.
But still want to verify it.
The operating room was quiet to begin with, and Dr. Xu's stethoscope was loud enough that Dr. Lu, Jin Mingxi, and the others could hear it clearly.
Jin Mingxi was fine, knowing that Zhou Can was very capable, so he was somewhat mentally prepared.
He was just a little surprised.
Doctor Lu and the nurse were not so calm.
They all looked at Zhou Can again in shock.
It seems that the emergency department has recruited a talented person this time.
"Old Xu, Old Xu, are you being picky again?"
Mr. Liu seemed to know Dr. Xu very well and knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.
"You still haven't gotten over the shadow of that incident! Zhou Can was my intern for nearly a year, and I only discovered his outstanding potential later. It was a cervical lymph node tuberculosis removal operation, and the situation was very dangerous at the time. This kid's performance was really amazing. Later, he asked me for a chance to suture his skin, and I was a little hesitant at the time."
"The neck is rich in blood vessels and nerves, so I was a little worried about the suturing done by my residents. How could he, an intern, do it well? But facing his eager eyes, I couldn't bear to refuse. To be honest, I was really scared when I saw him sew the first stitch. Fortunately, the boy is very hardworking, and his skills are getting better and better. His skills are no worse than those of my residents."
These words from Mr. Liu are enough to prove that Zhou Can did not lie.
"Oh, what a pity, that guy was snatched away by your emergency department. If he was in the general surgery department, I would definitely bring him here to train him. That guy is the most promising intern I have ever seen in my life."
Zhou Can blushed a little at the high evaluation given by Mr. Liu.
At that time, the suturing was halfway done, and the suturing and ligation procedures were promoted to level three one after another.
That's why Mr. Liu felt so surprised.
It is not wrong to say that he has outstanding potential.
With the experience point system, as long as you can quickly earn experience points, it is possible to reach the surgical level of an attending physician in one year.
Such potential cannot be found anywhere else in the whole country, let alone Tuya Hospital.
"It turns out he really didn't lie. But it was his first time to sew the skin, and you dared to ask him to sew up the wound on his neck. That's quite courageous. Okay, it's nothing. I'm still in surgery. Let's talk again when we have time."
Doctor Xu really does what he says.
This was a call to a senior associate chief physician. Both the casual tone and the impoliteness when hanging up the phone were surprising.
As the attending physician of the emergency department, his status is not even a little bit lower than that of Dr. Liu from the general surgery department.
Why are you so awesome?
Moreover, when Old Liu chatted with him, he used the tone and attitude that only peers would use.
What is the origin of this Dr. Xu?
When we were chatting just now, Mr. Liu said that Dr. Xu still hasn't gotten over the shadow of that incident.
It gives people unlimited space for imagination.
What exactly is this happening?
This Dr. Xu is definitely a man with a story.
If I have the chance in the future, I will slowly learn about the story behind Dr. Xu.
Zhou Can also felt a little relieved about Dr. Xu's almost neurotic seriousness.
"Zhou Can, you please suture the patient! A doctor's ethics come first. I was too serious just now, please don't take it seriously." After Dr. Xu hung up the phone, his attitude towards Zhou Can changed greatly.
His trust in Zhou Can has clearly reached a new level.
"understand."
Zhou Can nodded.
The misunderstanding was clarified and everyone was happy.
Dr. Xu turned to look at the patient.
"Don't worry. I just called Director Liu to confirm this. He praised Dr. Zhou's suturing skills. He will be no worse than Dr. Lu in suturing."
With rich experience in dealing with patients, Dr. Xu helped Zhou Can gain the patient's trust with just two sentences.
"Then please take care of it, Doctor Zhou."
The patient forced a flattering smile at Zhou Can.
Once in the operating room, the patient's position is actually quite weak.
Basically, you can only let the doctor do whatever he wants.
Dr. Lu walked down from the operating table and made way.
With the help of the nurse, Zhou Can put on sterile rubber gloves and prepared for suture.
"Doctor Zhou, can I use line 1?"
“You’re very professional.”
Zhou Can smiled and nodded.
The tension in the calf area is very small, so line No. 1 is just right.
Her operation technique was standard and skillful. She quickly threaded the needle and handed the hook and needle holder to Zhou Can.
Before suturing, Zhou Can routinely checked the patient's wound.
An area of flesh about half the size of a palm was torn apart at the calf, and the marks left by the canine teeth were clearly visible.
The tooth marks were very deep, forming bloody holes.
The dog that bit the man must have been extremely ferocious.
When he turned over the flesh, he couldn't help but frown.
It took Dr. Lu so long to clean the wound, but the treatment was quite rough.
It can only be said to be barely qualified.
Zhou Can hesitated for a moment. If he pointed it out at this time, Dr. Lu would probably be unhappy. Just suturing the wound like this would be very detrimental to its recovery.
Not only does it heal slowly, but it is also prone to infection and suppuration.
In the end, Zhou Can decided to put the patients first.
"Doctor Xu, based on my personal suturing habits, can you allow me to repair the wound a little bit?"
At this time, in front of the patient, I can neither say that Dr. Lu did not treat the wound well nor say that my suturing skills are poor.
Zhou Can just said that everyone had different suturing habits, which gave Dr. Lu enough face.
"sure."
Dr. Xu also noticed the patient's wound at this time.
With his level of expertise, he could naturally tell at a glance that Dr. Lu was sloppy in his work.
There's nothing we can do about it.
The emergency department is already understaffed, and many residents are kicked over from other departments.
To put it bluntly, they are the old hands eliminated from the powerful departments.
These people have more than three years of work experience, but they are either just muddling through in their previous departments or have poor growth potential and low skills.
They are all problem personnel.
Every time the emergency department reports to the hospital leadership about staff shortages, the more powerful departments will seize the opportunity to implement survival of the fittest and send those problematic doctors to the emergency department.
Not only did it help the hospital leaders solve the problem, but the department also cleared out the doctors who were dragging their feet.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Perfect.
After the positions are vacated, outstanding personnel can be introduced.
In this way, the medical team of the important departments will naturally become stronger and stronger.
It just makes the emergency department suffer.
But there are still some sufferings that cannot be expressed in words.
Watching Zhou Can re-cleaning the patient's wound, Dr. Lu curled his lips with an expression of indifference.
This person is most likely an old hand who just wants to get by.
Zhou Can was extremely meticulous in the cleaning work, out of a responsible attitude towards the patients.
The debridement of this type of bite wound is actually quite troublesome.
If the damaged tissues are not cleaned properly, there is a high probability that necrosis will occur and then infection and suppuration will occur.
Dog bites also carry the added risk of rabies infection.
More cleaning is needed.
"Little doctor, are you capable of this? Doctor Lu has already handled it for me, and you are trying to do it again. Are you using me as a training ground?"
The patient didn't know the truth and instead blamed Zhou Can.
Doctors encounter this situation frequently.
It was clearly a good intention, but the patient turned around and scolded the doctor without knowing what was good for him.
"Okay, it will be ready soon."
Zhou Can didn't explain much.
If the patient doesn't understand medicine, explaining to him is like talking to a cow.
Besides, there's no way to explain it.
Unless he wanted to offend Dr. Lu to death on the first day he entered the emergency department.
"Just lie down and relax! Doctor Zhou is responsible for you. The cleaner the wound is cleaned, the faster it will heal." Doctor Xu's words carry more weight and are more authoritative.
After he said this, the patient became obedient.
After Zhou Can carefully cleaned the wound, it looked much more comfortable.
The next step of stitching is the real test.
Doctor Xu and Doctor Lu both stared at him, wanting to see if this guy could do it.
Zhou Can calmly took the hook needle and needle holder from the nurse, clamped them firmly, and used the forceps with his left hand to assist.
Select the needle position for the first stitch, insert, pass through, tighten, and tie a knot.
All the movements are done in one go.
The second shot, the third shot...
Such an outstanding performance stunned everyone.
"The new doctor, Zhou, seems to sew better than doctor Lu." The nurse gave a silent evaluation in her heart.
Jin Mingxi also secretly admired Zhou Can's suturing skills.
Although his suturing skills were not inferior to Zhou Can's, Zhou Can had reached this level after only one year of internship, while he had worked for a full fourteen years to reach this level.
The learning time is 1 to 14.
What’s even more frightening is that, based on his experience as a person who has been through it, interns can only get a handful of opportunities to perform real-life sutures.
I can only say that Zhou Can is too evil.
No wonder Director Liu wanted to take him as his last disciple.
Such a genius was looked down upon by the heads of the departments of surgery, internal medicine, and pediatrics because of his low academic qualifications.
In the future, they will regret it.
After nearly twenty minutes, Zhou Can finally sutured the wound.
"Doctor Xu, the wound has been sutured. Please check it." Zhou Can put down his tools, his heart filled with joy.
His suture and ligation medical skills experience points increased by 21 points each.
Practicing with real people is fun.
The experience points gained are ten times that of practicing on pigskin.
At this rate, his suture and ligation skills will be upgraded to level four within two months.
That's the attending physician level.
It’s exciting just thinking about it.
What would it be like for a
By then, it will not only be possible to suture the skin, but also the blood vessels, nerves, and intestines.
