Chapter 3 Rapidly Improving Medical Skills
When practicing incision on pig skin, I can only gain 0.1 experience points each time. How come I can get double experience points when practicing on rats?
Is it because I’m practicing on a living creature?
He was both surprised and delighted after making this important discovery.
It seems that this experience value system still has a lot of room for development!
Practicing cutting on white mice doubles the experience, but what about practicing other medical skills?
After the wound was opened, the intestines, kidneys, bladder and other organs inside were all exposed.
He didn't rush to touch its internal organs.
Instead, we choose to close the cavity and suture it.
[Suture experience +0.2, ligation experience +0.2. ]
All of them are double experience, so cool.
It feels like I usually go out for walking, but now I am driving and experiencing unprecedented speed and excitement.
…
Before he knew it, Zhou Can had already made fourteen cuts on the white rat's body.
Each cut was made while avoiding vital parts, and then the cavity was closed and sutured.
It wasn't because he had a grudge against the rat in his previous life, but he wanted to ensure that it stayed alive. Only in this way could he continue to earn double experience points.
At this moment, the clock has pointed to twelve o'clock.
In total, I think more than two hundred stitches were used.
Suturing on a living creature is slower than practicing on pig skin, but since you earn double the experience, it is very cost-effective.
He checked the experience points of various medical skills.
[Pathological diagnosis, level 2, current experience value 89.6/100. Excellent level of regular training. ]
It was originally 89.5, but because I read a medical book this morning and finished reading a case, it increased by 0.1.
If there is enough time, I can upgrade it to level three by reading 104 more cases.
Level three is the level of resident doctors.
It’s not to say that there are no interns who can reach this level, but it’s estimated that they are rare. At most, one or two particularly outstanding geniuses may have reached this level.
If Zhou Can could upgrade his pathological diagnosis to level three before the regular training recruitment, his chances of staying would increase by at least 50%.
Pathological diagnosis accounts for a very high proportion of the score.
It is the first and required item in the interview.
This shows how important it is.
He sighed, it was a pity that time was too tight.
I have to work during the day and practice medical skills after get off work at night, so I have no time to read.
Besides, reading all 104 cases is not just simple reading, but requires deep thinking and making your own inferences.
A simple case study may take only 10 to 20 minutes to read. A difficult case study may take more than an hour or two to read as you need to look up various materials and repeatedly review them.
[Suture, Level 2, current experience value 87.8/100. Excellent level of regular training.]
[Leg ligation, level 2, current experience value 89/100. Excellent level of regular training.]
These two medical skills are like twins, and their experience value progress is comparable.
Zhou Can was very satisfied with such a big growth in one night.
If he had discovered earlier that practicing on living creatures would double the experience points, perhaps both of his medical skills would have been upgraded to level three by now.
I'll buy another pair of white mice tomorrow, and I'll definitely be able to raise them to resident level before the regular training recruitment.
[Incision, Level 2, current experience value 3.6/100. Lower level of standard training.]
The advancement of this medical skill is relatively slow.
However, when participating in regular training recruitment, it should be enough to have regular training level.
[Hemostasis, level 1, current experience value 4.8/10. Hemostasis ability practice failing level. ]
This medical skill has now become Zhou Can's major flaw.
If he cannot upgrade it to level two, the subsequent regular training recruitment will definitely seriously hinder him.
His eyes turned to the white mouse.
It's time to practice bleeding control techniques.
Holding a scalpel in one hand and an electrocoagulation knife in the other.
He kept cutting wounds on the white mouse, then used the electrocoagulation knife to find the bleeding point and apply it to the severed blood vessels.
The electrocoagulation knife mainly uses high-frequency electric current to coagulate small blood vessels, and uses the effect of electric heat to cause the blood to coagulate and carbonize, thereby achieving the purpose of hemostasis.
Due to his poor skills, he always makes various mistakes.
Either the severed blood vessel is not punctured, or the surrounding tissue is accidentally injured.
However, this situation is improving as he continues to practice.
Every time he successfully stops bleeding, his bleeding experience value will increase by 0.2. This is still very cool.
Practicing hemostasis is much faster than suturing or cutting.
Any cut will result in two or three bleeding points.
After using the electrocoagulation knife, you will basically get 0.2 experience points.
[Congratulations on reaching level 2 in your hemostasis skill! Current experience value 0/100. Your hemostasis skill is at the lower level.]
After successfully stopping the bleeding of white mice twenty-six times, Zhou Can's hemostasis skills were successfully upgraded to level two.
This made him very happy.
Finally, the shortcoming of stopping bleeding has been made up.
He was greedy for more and found that hemostasis was so easy to upgrade. He immediately adjusted his goal and worked towards the third level of hemostasis.
He kept cutting wounds on the white rat.
Then electrocoagulation was performed to stop the bleeding.
After reaching level 2, his hemostasis efficiency increased several times. Now he can basically avoid hitting the target with just one move, and the chance of damaging the tissues around the blood vessels is greatly reduced.
Just when he was practicing hard.
[Bleeding control experience +0.1.]
Try again, still only increase by 0.1.
The rat's heart has stopped beating.
It's dead.
pity.
Zhou Can sighed. The current experience of hemostasis was 46.4/100.
It seems that if I want to reach level three, I will have to wait until tomorrow.
Even if it dies, it still has some value.
I saw him holding a scalpel and starting to dissect its internal organs.
When the white rat was completely changed beyond recognition, his cutting experience value rose to level 2, 9.7/100.
This is very good.
The harvest tonight is beyond imagination.
Looking at the clock, it was already 2 a.m. He quickly cleaned up the practice table, disposed of the garbage, took a shower, and went to bed.
This night, no dreams.
Because it's really tiring.
The next morning, it was his roommates who woke him up.
"Zhou Can, Zhou Can, if you don't get up now you'll be late!"
Zhou Can opened his eyes and saw that it was 7:32.
He was so scared that he jumped out of bed, washed up quickly, and rushed to the hospital at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
Interns are required to arrive at their posts at least twenty minutes early.
He didn't want to listen to the resident's nagging.
After arriving at the hospital, I first had breakfast in the cafeteria as quickly as possible, and then returned to the department to handle a series of daily work.
Every intern has a heavy task.
Senior doctors are eager to throw to interns, under the pretext that this is training you.
"Xiao Zhou, quickly notify the patient in bed 27 to prepare for surgery at 10 a.m. You are responsible for following up."
The resident chief always has a loud voice.
Although he is only a few years older than Zhou Can, he calls him "Little Zhou" happily.
Who says he is a senior?
"OK!"
Zhou Can looked at the time and hurried to the ward to inform the patient and his family.
Preoperative preparation is very tedious and must be done meticulously.
He dare not be careless.
After arriving at the ward, he inquired about the patient's physical condition in detail out of responsibility. There was nothing wrong, so he notified the patient to change clothes, urinate and defecate, fast and not drink water.
During this period, the senior doctor entered the ward and talked to the family members, and asked them to sign an informed consent form for the operation.
After the operation was confirmed, the anesthesiologist also arrived.
It's just a conversation process and asking the family members to sign.
These necessary procedures cannot be avoided.
In case of medical disputes, doctors and hospitals can be well protected.
Everything was arranged and the nurse came in.
"Doctor Zhou, have you prepared the patient's skin?"
"not yet!"
Zhou Can was depressed. These tasks were clearly the responsibilities of nurses, so how did it become his business?
"Don't just stand there. I've brought the tools here. I'll leave the skin preparation and indwelling catheters to you." The nurse was pretty, but her tone was fierce.
What can Zhou Can say?
Just do it quickly.
After he finished, the nurse finally had a smile on her face. She nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, our Doctor Zhou is getting more and more proficient in preoperative preparations. Not bad. Send the patient over quickly, or Director Liu will scold us!"
Zhou Can's forehead was covered with black lines and he pouted.
"How could I not be skilled? We interns are doing all your work."
"Oh, you've learned to talk back to me, haven't you? Do you still want to find a wife? Be good and I'll introduce you to a girlfriend!"
The nurses looked fierce, but they actually had a pretty good relationship with him.
Zhou Can knew that he was no match for these married young women, so he quickly ran away with the patient, causing the nurse to laugh behind him.
