"The root of the problem is not in the heart, and a heart transplant probably won't have much effect. If you continue to improve during your week of treatment here, we'll discharge you, and you can continue your recovery at home using this massage device as an aid."
The patient's calf muscles were severely atrophied, and expecting them to return to normal with exercise alone in a short time was unrealistic.
Using a massage device or manual massage to assist in the blood flow of the legs and get through this difficult period is considered an ideal method.
Seeing the patient's condition improve significantly, offering hope for recovery, Zhou Can was in a great mood.
Returning to the Emergency Department, he quickly threw himself into the tense surgical work.
After performing just two surgeries, a nurse came running in to ask for his help.
"Boss, Pediatric just called. A newborn, only three days old, has severe heart failure and is in critical condition. They want you to e for a consultation."
Ma Xiaolan ran in to deliver the message.
"Alright, I'll head over right away."
Zhou Can had a close relationship with the Pediatric department, practically making him half a pediatrician. Now that there's a critical patient in the Pediatric department, he felt obliged to go and help.
If the issue weren't serious, they wouldn't have asked him for help.
The Pediatric department was quite strong.
It not only employed pediatric experts who were re-hired after retirement but also had a large number of doctors aged between forty and sixty who were department chiefs and deputies. The new young doctors are essentially starting with a master's degree, with very few holding only a bachelor's degree.
Only some particularly outstanding medical undergraduates might have the opportunity to be recruited.
paring to the situation several years ago when Zhou Can joined Tuya Hospital, it is now several times more difficult for undergraduates to enter Tuya Hospital.
In the past, getting a spot in Tuya's prehensive training program and being under thirty-five almost guaranteed a position at the hospital after pleting the program. Now, the threshold has been raised to a master's degree level.
If you're below a graduate degree level and have no remendations from major hospitals or prestigious schools, you'll be screened out when applying for training qualifications by HR.
Through years of efforts, Tuya has indeed improved significantly in terms of overall strength and ranking pared to a few years ago.
Having outstanding young doctors like Zhou Can quickly grow into the backbone of various departments further enhanced the hospital's prehensive strength and ranking.
Previously, Tuya's biggest shortings were the low number of academic papers and even fewer impactful, high-quality ones. Also, many of the doctors had relatively low educational backgrounds. Some older doctors were only graduates of technical secondary schools.
Medical technical schools were unique products of that era.
Back then, a college degree was a very high level of education. Those with vocational secondary technical degrees were mainstream among doctors. Eventually, it crept up to associate degrees being considered high education.
Until ten years ago, bachelor's degrees were in high demand.
Nowadays, even master's degrees aren't that appealing; doctoral degrees or even post-doctoral qualifications are required.
The progress of the times is swift.
Under Dean Zhu's visionary leadership, Tuya conducted sweeping reforms, focusing on talent and research, and has made leaps and bounds in recent years. After improving its prehensive strength and ranking, the business volume of various departments surged.
This has also equipped it to attract high-level talents.
Even now, with a master's degree as the minimum requirement, there are many medical students eager to get in.
Zhou Can quickly updated Dr. Xu and hurried to Pediatric.
Saving lives is undoubtedly more important.
Severe heart failure in a newborn has a very high mortality rate, mostly due to congenital heart disease.
A situation that leaves so many pediatric experts at a loss is certainly troublesome.
Zhou Can instinctively quickened his pace.
Tuya Hospital is very large; getting from the Emergency Department to Pediatrics requires going through the Internal Medicine building and then around the Surgery block one to reach it. Walking quickly takes at least seven or eight minutes.
Along the way, Zhou Can seemed almost to fly with the wind beneath his feet.
As he passed through the Internal Medicine corridor, he saw someone who looked somewhat familiar ing his way. Recognizing him, Zhou Can revealed a slightly amused expression. The middle-aged man holding a long payment receipt was none other than Brother Wei.
At that moment, Brother Wei clearly also noticed Zhou Can.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he lowered his head, trying to pretend he hadn't seen Zhou Can.
The more he did so, the more Zhou Can wanted to tease him.
"Hey, aren't you Mr. Lan's bodyguard? What brings you to Internal Medicine?" Zhou Can feigned ignorance as he greeted him.
"Cough, cough... I'm here to pick up some medicine for Young Master Lan," Brother Wei replied awkwardly.
Though his martial skills were strong, his intelligence was quite average.
"Mr. Lan is hospitalized in Cardiothoracic Surgery. If you need to pick up medicine, you should be at the pharmacy or Cardiothoracic Surgery. You seem a bit bewildered, don't get the place wrong. How about letting me take a look at the receipt!"
As Zhou Can spoke, he reached for the receipt in Brother Wei's hand.
"No, no!"
Brother Wei wouldn't dare let him see the payment receipt and quickly dodged away.
He was too busy to even mind getting teased by Zhou Can for being clueless.
"Really don't need help?"
Zhou Can wore an amused expression.
"Really not! You go do your work!"
Brother Wei refused, for the first time using a respectful form of address for Zhou Can.
The change in mentality was quite interesting.
Initially dismissive and critical of Zhou Can, now he genuinely admired Zhou Can's medical skills. In the medical profession, earning respect relies entirely on capability.
