It’s always hard to start something new.
Now that his surgical team is just getting started, there’s no choice but to take it one step at a time.
Fortunately, Dr. Xu currently serves as the first assistant for him.
When something happens, it’s often Dr. Xu who steps in first to help.
For now, they can still manage.
After work, he always heads to the inpatient ward for rounds, no exception. With him doing the rounds, Dr. Xu doesn’t have to worry about it and can go home earlier.
This is Zhou Can’s way of showing filial piety to his mentor.
The patient who had gangrene debridement surgery yesterday has shown significant improvement. The family of three has also successfully eaten ’free meals’ at the cafeteria.
Zhou Can feels very satisfied.
Observing for another morning tomorrow, he estimates that by the afternoon, the gangrene patient will be able to undergo the second phase of debridement surgery.
As long as the condition continues to improve and doesn’t worsen, the leg can be saved.
Behind the scenes, he has saved an entire family.
Arriving at the garage, he sits in the car, and waves of fatigue wash over him.
The work is exhausting and strenuous, but he believes it is worthwhile.
He takes out his phone and directly dials Xue Yan’s WeChat voice call.
"Zhou Can, just got off work?"
Upon answering, Director Xue Yan asks with concern.
After their relationship deepened, her attitude towards Zhou Can has bee noticeably more intimate.
"Yes! I did a total of twenty-five surgeries today; my bones are almost falling apart from exhaustion. Fortunately, all the surgeries went smoothly without any mishaps."
Zhou Can responds with a smile.
"Only you and Dr. Xu can perform surgeries at such speed. For us ordinary surgeons, pleting five or six surgeries in one day is already quite the achievement."
Xue Yan is particularly impressed by him.
She has almost watched Zhou Can grow step by step. His surgical skills and talent are unmatched.
Looking across the entire Tuya Hospital, there aren’t many who can plete twenty or thirty surgeries in a day.
Even though Jin Mingxi managed to do ten or twenty surgeries a day during his residency in the Emergency Department, there is still a considerable gap pared to Zhou Can.
Firstly, most of the surgeries Jin Mingxi performed were Level 1 simple surgeries.
Whereas Zhou Can doesn’t shy away from plex procedures, ranging from simple wound debridement and dressing to challenging foreign body removal and vascular anastomosis.
And now, it’s even more remarkable.
Among the Level 2 surgeries he pletes, many are quite plex Level 2 surgeries.
Others may need two to three hours to plete them, but he usually manages to control it within twenty minutes.
For simple Level 1 debridement, suturing, and dressing, one surgery can be done in seven to eight minutes.
And that’s with both speed and quality.
"Haha, everyone has strengths and weaknesses! I’m only known for my fast surgical pace. Sister Yan, has Cardiothoracic Surgery been affected too much today?"
Zhou Can starts discussing business.
"There was some impact, but it’s still acceptable. By the way, can you e over tomorrow night to help with two surgeries? Both are Level 4 surgeries with quite high plexity. Having you around will make me feel more at ease."
Director Xue Yan extended an invitation to him.
Since Director Hu passed away, she has almost never asked Zhou Can to assist in surgeries.
Perhaps considering that Zhou Can has his own work during the day, she didn’t want to bother him.
A reluctance to bother the other party is indeed a sign of distance.
When it es to borrowing money, we typically think of our closest friends and family. Only when unable to borrow from them do we consider more distant relatives and friends.
This time, it’s likely the first formal request for Zhou Can’s assistance.
It also signifies a substantial breakthrough in their relationship, being closer than ever before.
As they chat, her tone is pletely relaxed, natural, and unguarded, like chatting with a younger brother.
"Sure, no problem, just let me know when the surgery is scheduled, and I’ll be there on time."
Zhou Can agrees gladly.
Level 4 surgeries are still quite challenging for him. Regularly taking part in Level 4 surgeries will also help him improve his medical skills more quickly.
After all, Level 4 surgeries are the easiest way to earn more than 100 Experience Points in surgical expertise rewards.
