My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 224 125: Dust Settles, Replanting the Failed Severed

The ergency departnt operates non-stop, 24 hours a day.

The specialized operating rooms, in addition to overti for various major surgeries, normally start at around 7:30 a.m. The end of the workday is after 5:30 p.m.

If all surgeries are completed, one can occasionally leave work early.

However, even if there is nothing left to do in the operating room, doctors and nurses still worry that leaving early will be seen as clocking out early. They usually spend ti in the office writing up case reports, surgical records, reflections, or checking dical orders.

They wait until the exact ti to leave.

In reality, leaving work late is the norm.

"Good morning, Doctor Shan!"

As soon as Zhou Can arrived at the orthopedic surgery corridor, he saw Doctor Shan.

She had already changed into her white coat, holding and reviewing several examination reports in her hand.

"Good morning!"

She glanced up at Zhou Can and then continued to read the examination reports.

Zhou Can quickly changed into his work clothes and followed her.

Out of the three resident trainees, he hadn't expected to be the earliest arriver.

"Once everyone is gathered, we'll prepare for the ward rounds. This case has great educational value; you might want to take a look," she handed Zhou Can a case file that included the examination reports.

Arriving early, it seed, still had its perks.

Zhou Can took it and studied it carefully.

Before long, Dr. Hee, Doctor Tang, and the other two resident trainees arrived one after another.

"Let's start the ward rounds!"

She led them towards the patient ward area.

"Dr. Hee, do you know which beds our group's surgical patients are in?" she asked.

"I've already tallied them up! Beds 46 to 145, plus rooms 5 and 6."

These many beds surely couldn't all belong to Doctor Shan alone.

Her ntion of "our group" likely referred to the entire orthopedic trauma surgery group led by Director Shen.

A chief physician generally only conducts rounds once a week.

This requires the attending physicians under them to be more diligent and take good care of the patients who underwent surgery in their group.

They went bed by bed for the rounds.

Zhou Can followed quietly, just watching and listening to their conversations.

By this ti, he needed to start learning how to conduct ward rounds independently.

Doctor Shan would ask about certain conditions for different patients, then based on the reports from the ward physicians and interns, as well as the patients' responses, she laid out the treatnt plans.

This involved a great deal of knowledge.

He greedily absorbed the knowledge and experience from it.

Following a senior doctor on ward rounds now was completely different from his rounds as an intern.

Interns couldn't prescribe dical orders, let alone prescriptions.

But Doctor Shan was able to flexibly adjust for each patient's condition.

For instance, if soone reported unbearable pain after surgery, she would prescribe pain dication.

"Doctor Shan, could you please check how my husband's hand is doing? It's been almost 24 hours since the surgery was completed, but his four fingers still have no sensation at all."

The male patient on the bed, about fifty years old.

All four fingers of his right hand had been severed and had undergone replantation surgery.

Now, they appeared to be pale, indicating an obvious issue with blood supply.

Zhou Can wondered to himself; it was unlikely that the lack of blood supply in all four fingers was due to the surgeon's poor vascular anastomosis, but rather there must've been so other issue.

Coincidentally, he had the fortune of having perford two replantation surgeries himself.

Originally, he could have conducted even more surgeries.

However, afterwards, Director Xie had instructed a team leader from the quality control departnt to suppress him, restricting him from performing any level one or higher surgeries in front of Vice Director Ye.

Since then, Zhou Can had not conducted another finger replantation.

He focused on the patient's four fingers—could these four severed fingers have missed the golden six-hour window for replantation?
