My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1440 - 575: The Third Hospital’s Return from the Bri

"Boss, you’ve been promoted, surely you won’t be so stingy as to treat us to just one al, right?" Ma Xiaolan was relatively close to Zhou Can, so she wasn’t afraid of him.

She occasionally dared to joke with Zhou Can during their free ti.

"These past couple of days have been a bit hectic. There’s a difficult case in Pediatrics that hasn’t been solved yet, and Cardiothoracic Surgery has major operations every day. Once I’m through these couple of days and have a day after work without overti, I’ll treat everyone to a big al to celebrate. I couldn’t have been promoted without your support and hard work."

Zhou Can was very grateful to his two doctors and the three nurses under his charge.

Especially Qiao Yu, who has tirelessly and silently acted as his instrunt nurse over the past few years.

If there were to be a ’founding hero’ award, she’d be the first.

Initially, when Zhou Can returned to the Ergency Departnt, he was practically starting from scratch. He led her and the intern Luo Shishen in doing crazy amounts of surgeries, gradually turning things around.

It’s akin to starting a business from the ground up; once the company grows, there’s actually less to worry about.

The most beautiful mories are often from that early stage of entrepreneurship, when conditions are lacking and you must work particularly hard.

On the third day, Dr. Fu Chachun returned to work.

He was on the night shift.

The Ergency Departnt operates in three shifts. The day shift is the best and busiest. The evening shift is next, and the night shift isn’t as busy, but the upside-down schedule and disrupted circadian rhythm make everyone particularly resistant to it.

Fu Chachun was quite smart; having just been through such a big scandal, losing face terribly, he took a day off before returning to the Ergency Departnt and chose to start with a night shift to better observe the situation.

Because the dical staff at night is minimal.

When Zhou Can ca to the departnt, he heard Qiao Yu and the others discussing how Fu Chachun treated all the nurses to milk tea.

This old man Fu Chachun surprisingly still had a trick up his sleeve.

Looks like this bout with societal challenges has taught him many things. He put away his sense of superiority, not daring to play the seniority card anymore.

In any departnt, old-tirs are usually the hardest to manage.

Because they think their seniority gives them an edge, often not listening to directives. Especially when younger leaders try to direct them, it becos very difficult.

Zhou Can didn’t pay much mind to Fu Chachun treating all the nurses to milk tea to nd their relationship.

His work was too busy; he had endless tasks every day, unlearned knowledge, and surgery skills to practice.

It’s worth noting that he now practiced surgical skills like the Stable Knife Technique and Fast Knife Skill, but no longer at ho with other skills. Instead, he continuously improved during surgeries on patients.

Apart from a few Orthopedics skills, all other surgical skills have advanced to Level 6. Practicing suturing on pigskin or vascular anastomosis on lab rats is no longer necessary.

It’s inefficient and does little to enhance his skills.

Real improvent cos from those rare cases and high-difficulty surgeries.

Every major surgery has its complexities.

Even if they’re all tricuspid valve regurgitation repair surgeries, each patient’s situation might be different.

Everyone knows that the main cause of tricuspid valve regurgitation is the enlargent of the right ventricle or a pathological change in the tricuspid valve itself.

The tricuspid valve, located between the right atrium and right ventricle, functions like a door that opens and closes automatically. Normally, blood can only flow in, not out. If the right ventricle enlarges, this door fails to close tightly, causing blood regurgitation.

The pathological chanism is roughly like this.

However, many factors can cause tricuspid valve regurgitation, such as increased right ventricular systolic pressure. If this persists, the right ventricular myocardium thickens, leading to an enlarged right ventricle.

Or elevated pulmonary artery pressure can also cause right ventricular enlargent.

Thus, even for tricuspid valve regurgitation surgeries, each case may differ.

If you rigidly replace the tricuspid valve for every patient, the handling for each would be identical. The imdiate post-operative result might seem fine, but after a while, the tricuspid valve may start regurgitating again.

With every major surgery he performs, Zhou Can gains new insights and improvents.

This is the correct way to quickly elevate one’s dical skills.

...

Ti passed quickly; in the blink of an eye, more than half a year had gone by.

A lot happened during these six months.

Zhou Can successfully beca a teaching assistant at Tuya dical College—as an undergraduate, becoming a teaching assistant in such a highly competitive environnt made him quite the anomaly.

Many young postgraduates are still waiting in line for a teaching assistant position.

Furthermore, his postgraduate entrance exams and interviews went smoothly.

He has now started his graduate studies, focusing on Orthopedics.

Initially, he thought venturing into Orthopedics was slightly off his main career path. But after truly learning under a ntor for a while, he was sold.

In-depth study of Orthopedic knowledge, especially in areas like bone trauma and joint research, benefited him imnsely.

Prior to studying, he thought Orthopedics was just what it was.

He even considered Orthopedic surgery rely manual labor—with so technical content, but nowhere near as high as other surgical departnts.

Simply casting a plaster, drilling a line of holes in a bone, and attaching a steel plate or so he thought.

Or hamring a couple of nails in a specific part of a bone to fix a fracture.
