Chapter 56 Growth Planning
"Can you please say hello to the doctors on duty and ask them to admit more patients for first-level surgeries while you're on duty? I'm just a newbie and I need a lot of opportunities to practice."
Zhou Can's current four basic medical skills and two advanced medical skills of anastomosis and separation are already at the level of a resident doctor.
Fully capable of performing level one surgery.
This is more than ten times better than the effect he achieved when he practiced at home on mice, tofu, and cotton.
The emergency department usually only handles emergency surgeries due to limited surgical capacity and staff shortage. Those that are not so urgent will be diverted to various specialist departments.
As long as you say hello to the doctor on duty, patients who undergo first-level surgery can make a lot of money.
"Doctor Xu, I need it too!"
When Jin Mingxi saw Zhou Can speak, he hurriedly followed.
He didn't dare to ask Dr. Xu directly about this.
Zhou Can is different. Even a fool can see that Dr. Xu has a special liking for him.
He is being trained just like a disciple.
So Zhou Can dared to make some small requests.
"Wow! You two have been doing surgeries for a whole day. Are you addicted? Okay, I will talk to the attending doctors and I will accept more first-level surgeries when I am on duty. If you two feel that eight hours is not enough, Director Lou can also help you get some when he is on duty."
Dr. Xu was very happy that the two were so motivated.
After a little hesitation, he agreed.
The emergency department is very short of staff, and the patients we normally see will be assigned to specialists if possible and will never be kept.
There are only two attending surgeons in the entire emergency department.
They are Dr. Xu and a doctor named Fu.
Dr. Fu usually sees patients in person.
In the operating room, Dr. Xu and three surgical residents are the main force. Because they work in three shifts, Dr. Xu almost always works the morning shift, which is also the shift with the heaviest surgical workload.
For the night shift, Director Lou will take charge of it.
There aren't many surgeries during the night shift
It is worth mentioning that the emergency department generally only performs level one and level two surgeries, and if the level three standard is reached, it can only be performed by specialist doctors.
By scheduling shifts like this, several surgeons can basically ensure the normal operation of the emergency department's operating room.
Zhou Can didn't expect Dr. Xu to agree so readily.
I was really happy.
I will never have to worry about not having opportunities to exercise again.
“Thank you, teacher!”
“Thank you, Dr. Xu!”
Jin Mingxi also followed suit to express his gratitude.
"Let's go! When you two get home, you must carefully summarize today's surgical experience. Especially the scarless suturing method I taught you. I can tell you that once you have mastered the scarless suturing method I taught you, it can be used in many high-tech surgeries in the future. And this scarless suturing method is not the most advanced. In the most advanced top surgeries, it is equivalent to basic medical skills such as suturing, incision, ligation, and hemostasis."
Before leaving, Dr. Xu painted a big pie for the two of them.
What is a top-notch surgery?
The surgeries that ordinary chief physicians can perform cannot be described as particularly cutting-edge.
Only surgeries performed by expert-level or even world-leading surgeons are worthy of these four words.
This type of surgery can be big or small.
Large ones require the collaborative efforts of many elite surgical teams to complete.
For example, the world-famous head transplant surgery, heart transplant surgery, etc.
Zhou Can is now like a toddler, and has just begun to learn to walk on the road of medicine. His growth path is almost endless, and how far he can go depends on his own efforts and opportunities.
"It's time to plan your daily practice tasks."
He actually had this idea yesterday.
After Dr. Xu drew a blueprint for the future for them, his desire to quickly improve the overall level of medical skills became more urgent.
Currently, the services available in the operating room include suturing, ligation, hemostasis, injection, anastomosis and debridement.
The three types that are more difficult to retrieve are insertion, incision, and separation.
He was not too worried about pathology diagnosis, because after getting familiar with the job, he could stay and work overtime for free. He followed the doctors to see patients. With the terrifying volume of patients in the emergency department, it was not uncommon to earn 30 or 40 points of pathology diagnosis experience a day.
Soon you will be able to rise steadily.
Dr. Luo, the doctor in the emergency department, was quite friendly to him. If he said hello and treated him to a private meal, he would most likely agree to take him with him to see patients.
As for other doctors, you can only make requests after you become familiar with them slowly.
After some consideration, he decided that after get off work he only needed to focus on practicing the three medical skills of insertion, incision and separation.
Practice the implantation on rats, and you will only get 0.2 experience points each time.
Inserting a catheter into a patient will earn you 1 experience point each time.
If you are thick-skinned enough and have enough connections in the hospital, taking on some catheter insertion work in the intensive care unit is probably the fastest way to earn catheter insertion experience points.
But on the one hand, he is not familiar with the people in the critical care unit.
On the other hand, it would be easy for colleagues to mistake me for a psychopath, so the idea would die in the cradle.
At least there is no such condition now.
Fortunately, we often encounter patients who need urinary catheters in the emergency room, so we can save some money.
After get off work, Zhou Can first went to the Logistics Support Department to apply for a room card.
Then I bought a bionic model specifically for practicing implantation, a pound of soybeans, and ten white mice.
I plan to have a good practice after returning home.
Now I'm a resident doctor, working with Dr. Xu, and it's pretty good.
Only eight hours of work per day.
Compared to the hardship of being an intern , it's like heaven.
Since I was in the emergency department operating room, I had to work overtime for surgeries and there was almost nothing else to do. When I was an intern in the inpatient department, it was really miserable. I had to take care of the patients, write medical records, learn to write a set of medical orders, write medical histories, and follow surgeries... I was almost as busy as a spinning top.
Sometimes after a day's work I feel as tired as if I had done a month's work.
Now that he has a lot of free time, it is actually beneficial to Zhou Can.
After returning home, he can practice various medical skills that he would hardly have the opportunity to practice in the operating room, or he can work overtime with the attending doctors and surgeons.
You can choose flexibly according to your own growth needs.
…
When I returned to the dormitory where I had lived for a year, it was empty. All my roommates had left.
There was a heartwarming note on the table.
"Come on, Zhou Can! I believe you will become a famous doctor!"
The names of seven roommates are signed at the back.
Zhou Can felt warm in his heart, but his nose felt a little sour. He put away the precious note that carried the friendship between his roommates and began to quickly pack his personal belongings.
Then move to the double apartment upstairs.
He found Room 315 and tried to use the room card to open the smart lock on the door. After pushing the door open, an expression of extreme surprise appeared on his face.
"Doctor Jin!"
"Haha, what a fate! I didn't expect that my other roommate is Dr. Zhou."
Jin Mingxi also laughed happily.
He was writing a surgical summary seriously. Seeing that his roommate was Zhou Can, he quickly closed his notebook and stood up to help move things.
The decoration here is much better than the dormitory downstairs.
It is fully decorated and the beds are no longer bunk beds, but two separate Simmons beds.
A bit like a double room in a hotel.
It also has air conditioning and a private bathroom.
From now on, you no longer have to squat in a public toilet when taking a shower or going to the toilet.
The treatment of regular trainees is much better than that of interns. As expected, we still need to work hard, and the future will be better and better.
With Jin Mingxi's help, he quickly moved all his things into his new residence and settled down.
"Wow, Dr. Zhou has all the tools he needs to practice his medical skills!"
With a microscope, an electrocoagulation knife, a wax stand... you can open a private clinic.
"Hehe, the competition is fierce, there's nothing we can do about it!"
Zhou Can never hesitates in his investment in medicine.
Being able to stand out from thousands of applicants and get the first place is certainly helped by the experience value system, but personal efforts and financial investment are also important factors for success.
