It was evident that the stubbornness and arrogance that used to be in his demeanor as a senior had vanished.
"Dr. Zhou, I am willing to fully cooperate with your work. If I act foolishly again in the future, you can just smack my face with a shoe."
Fu Chachun turned to look at Zhou Can beside him, his eyes no longer hostile or sharp, but simply sincere.
Getting such a stubborn old man to change so much in such a short time was truly not easy.
Based on Fu Chachun’s previous behavior, Zhou Can even thought this old man was beyond saving.
Yet Director Lou had a way. After a conversation and some admonishment, he managed to make Fu Chachun set aside his stubbornness and prejudice, and willingly bow to Zhou Can.
"No need, no need!"
Zhou Can waved his hand generously, feeling very pleased with Fu Chachun’s change.
"Tell me specifically about the surgical situation with the patient in bed 1. Did you see the nerve of the third toe during the surgery?"
Sitting across from him, Director Lou couldn’t help but chuckle, "Haha, Xiao Zhou’s mind is full of patients, no wonder he has such advanced medical skills at such a young age!"
Seeing the two doctors in the department shake hands and make peace, Director Lou was happier than anyone else.
To him, every member of the department was worth cherishing.
The abilities of the senior members might not be ideal, but they are the foundation of a department. They help keep the department warm and foster a sense of unity.
People are emotional creatures.
Senior members staying in the department can give newers a point of aspiration.
Newers often look to the treatment of senior members to imagine their future treatment.
Imagine, if a department were to dismiss every senior over fifty just because they were slightly less capable, wouldn’t the newers feel sorrowful?
"I won’t hide it. It was during the separation of the toes that I accidentally cut the nerve of the third toe. Normally, the nerve of the third toe shouldn’t be on the side. I was indeed careless at the time, coupled with limited anatomical skills, I wasn’t careful during separation, and by the time I realized it, it was already too late."
After letting go of his resentment, Fu Chachun actually developed a high level of trust in Zhou Can.
He openly admitted his surgical mistake in front of Zhou Can and Director Lou.
"Just as I suspected. After cutting the nerve, how did you handle it?"
Zhou Can had anticipated this oute a long time ago.
If not for a guilty conscience, there was no need for Fu Chachun to be so defensive when approached for details.
"I didn’t do anything, just left it there. Frankly speaking, my suturing skills are terrible. Let alone suturing nerves, I can’t even do blood vessels well."
Fu Chachun admitted truthfully.
In terms of surgical skills, he, as a senior attending physician, might not be as good as those excellent resident doctors.
Honestly, the Emergency Department’s operating room is gradually being more talented, so it might be better for Fu Chachun to withdraw from surgery and work in front-line patient admissions.
It would be beneficial for both him personally and the department.
"I will municate with the patient to arrange for a second surgery as soon as possible. Once it’s scheduled, I’ll notify you to assist with the surgery. Leave the nerve suturing to me."
Zhou Can believed that the sooner the surgery, the better.
Especially for a recently severed nerve, suturing it soon would allow its function to recover better.
It would also be a good opportunity to verify his nerve suturing skills.
