My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 539 - 234: Save Small Money to Spend Big, Principles

Zhou Can has learned from several chief physicians, his vision, scale, insight, and experience are all far beyond ordinary standardized trainees like Yu Xin.

Even many resident doctors can’t compare with Zhou Can.

It’s like in a martial arts sect, how can the disciples taught by an officer compare with the direct disciples of the Sect Leader?

The gap is very large.

Knowing which situations he can handle on his own and which situations he should report promptly, Zhou Can has a more accurate grasp on this.

If Yu Xin had managed to handle bed 73’s patient well, she would indeed score points in the eyes of senior doctors. But if sothing goes wrong, it would be a big deal. The risks involved are too great.

She’s caught up in the situation and can’t see it clearly.

But Zhou Can saw it very clearly.

"Do you an that if I deal with it myself, the risk is very high?" she still held so hope.

"The risk is extrely high. I can tell you directly, the patient can progress into septicemia at any ti. Right now, he’s already showing the initial symptoms of typhoid."

Zhou Can was very certain in his statent.

He worried she wouldn’t believe it and would stubbornly try to handle it herself.

A great future could be ruined by this one attempt.

"I understand, I will call Director Shang imdiately."

Fortunately, she is a female doctor and rather cautious.

Hearing Zhou Can describe the situation as so severe, and considering the previous lesson from Dr. Zhang who was the bed manager, she ultimately didn’t dare to take the risk.

She quickly finished reporting.

She also took a long sigh of relief, her facial expression noticeably more relaxed.

"Director Shang has been called to the ergency and pediatric departnts for consultations. He told to correct the patient’s water and electrolyte imbalances and hydrate them first; he will co back later to handle it personally,"

Yu Xin proactively inford Zhou Can of the results after reporting.

"Pretty good."

Zhou Can nodded his head.

"I am just worried that the hydration won’t be effective, because he’s vomiting quite severely," she said, obviously wanting to hear Zhou Can’s opinion.

Being able to beco a standardized trainee and personally ntored by Director Shang in his team, she was definitely familiar with various rehydration thods.

"If he’s really vomiting severely, just opt for intravenous fluid replacent. It’s not that we as doctors don’t save patients money on treatnt, but the patient’s condition does not allow for it." Zhou Can knew what she was worried about.

In the past, Zhou Can would also pay special attention to saving treatnt costs for patients during treatnt.

Save where possible.

Then there were two close calls, and Dr. Xu and Director Shen from orthopedics had both reprimanded him over this.

Gradually, Zhou Can also realized one thing: when it’s not appropriate to save, you must not save. Otherwise, you might help the patient save a small amount of money superficially, but it could result in them not achieving the desired treatnt effects and even lead to avoidable complications, which would greatly increase the cost.

Saving pennies and spending dollars is not only applicable in everyday life but even more so in dical treatnt.

Since then, Zhou Can also learned the essentials of dication and material usage from the chief physicians.

For treating so critical illnesses, you must use imported dicines and supplies, and never prescribe dostic ones.

So dostic pharmaceutical factory owners are exceptionally unscrupulous; tests have shown zero active ingredients in a bottle of their cancer dication. They still claim how effective their treatnts are and price them at over three thousand yuan a dose.

But in developed countries, this kind of situation almost never happens.

Should it happen, the pharmaceutical company would be sued to bankruptcy.

It’s only that so illegal businesses manage to exploit loopholes in the law and regulations, and in pursuit of exorbitant profits, heartlessly exploit the finances of unfortunate cancer patients.

It’s believed that such unscrupulous pharmaceutical companies will one day receive their due punishnt.

Doctors facing such companies sotis feel quite helpless too.

The subpar quality of dostic drugs isn’t limited to certain manufacturers’ cancer dications; many other drugs are also ineffective. For instance, dostically produced drugs for gastrointestinal bleeding simply don’t work, and only imported ones must be used.

There are too many such examples.

Of course, the ineffectiveness of dostic drugs for treating gastrointestinal bleeding isn’t entirely due to the malice of the manufacturers; it’s also because dostic pharmaceutical technology is still far behind that of developed countries.

Yu Xin prescribed the treatnt orders for the patient and promptly went to administer treatnt.

Zhou Can continued leisurely reading through his group’s case files in the office.

Being new, it would take two to three days to go through all the case files.

According to Zhou Can’s usual practice, after mastering all the case files in his group, he would start to check the case files of the entire Internal dicine departnt.

Just the number of beds in Digestive Internal dicine is over one hundred and thirty.

Even if the turnover rate of inpatients is considered in a three-day cycle, it’s still a frightening number.

The patients in his group are not just inpatients; there are also outpatients seen in the clinic. So patients requiring interventional surgery or simple dication can recuperate at ho, and doctors would not keep them hospitalized.

But Zhou Can also needs to study and learn these case files.

It’s said that Tuya Hospital’s Digestive Internal dicine has an annual outpatient volu of more than 140,000 visits.

On average, that’s over 385 visits a day.

He wants to review all the departnt’s cases for the day, but it’s simply not possible.

Therefore, he can only pick key cases to study.

Not long after, Director Shang returned from the ergency and pediatric consultations.

Ergency departnt patients are generally critical, so Director Shang definitely prioritized going there for consultations.

Zhou Can had spent a few months in the ergency departnt; usually, just sending a specialist doctor for consultation would an sending a chief resident, which was considered good. However, this ti even Director Shang personally attended, indicating that the patient’s condition must be very critical.
