Chapter 619: Chapter 261: The Relationship between Acupuncture and Puncture Techniques, It’s Not Easy to Be a Sought-After Expert

Based on Zhou Can’s experience, it was an eight or nine out of ten certainty that the patient was suffering from septicemia.

“The patient’s current physical state is extrely poor, and the risk of performing a liver puncture is very high, which also places stringent demands on the puncture technique. It has to be successful on the first try, without any mistakes. I’m afraid we’ll have to ask Director Tan from our Internal dicine departnt to personally conduct the procedure.”

Director Luo had so reservations about this.

The essence of liver puncture is thoracentesis, which patients in good health can certainly withstand. But this patient is already on the brink of collapse, like a flickering candle in the wind. A slight disturbance could snuff out the patient’s life.

Zhou Can had originally wanted to seize the opportunity to perform the puncture, but after hearing Director Luo’s remarks, he kept silent.

If anything went wrong, the patient would be done for, and so would he.

Director Luo called Director Tan on the spot.

After hanging up, Director Luo said with a relaxed face, “Director Tan has agreed to co over and help imdiately.”

Zhou Can felt a bit curious. Was Director Tan’s injection skill truly that impressive?

The four major puncture skills are essentially all about injection.

For doctors doing punctures, as long as they’ve practiced, their skill levels aren’t too dissimilar.

Nurse practitioners are highly proficient in injections, but they are not familiar with puncture operations. Therefore, even a nurse practitioner with superb injection skills cannot perform punctures.

Director Tan indeed arrived in a hurry not long after.

Having not seen him for nearly a year, Director Tan still appeared ruddy and clear-eyed, his spirit and physical condition both excellent.

“Ah, Xiao Zhou is here too!”

Upon entering the consultation room and seeing Zhou Can, Director Tan greeted him first.

The genuine fondness for Zhou Can from Director Tan made the other doctors enviously watch.

“My ntor was too busy to co, so I was sent to participate in the consultation. It’s been nearly a year since we last t, and you seem to have grown younger than before,” Zhou Can said, not flattering but stating the truth.

Director Tan must have taken excellent care of his health.

“Ha ha, really! It seems that the minor Chinese dicine skills I’ve learned have had so effect,” Director Tan replied with a happy smile.

The directors of the Cardiovascular Internal dicine departnt did not show much change in expression upon hearing this, but Zhou Can was surprised and said, “From your words, it seems you’ve studied and researched Chinese dicine quite deeply! That’s genuinely surprising!”

“What? Do you think we who study Western dicine can’t learn Chinese dicine as well? Foreigners deliberately suppress our Chinese dicine, but we ourselves must not be deceived. Western and Chinese dicine each have their thods, and both have rits worthy of learning. If you ask , Chinese dicine is more profound, with deeper and more extensive discussions on pathology and pharmacology. It’s just a pity that we later generations, lacking sufficient talent, can only grasp the surface despite our efforts.”

Director Tan was openly promoting the benefits of Chinese dicine in such a public setting.

Zhou Can was indeed surprised by this.

It is true that there are too few truly skilled practitioners of Chinese dicine nowadays.

The difference between internal and external dicine is substantial.

Surgery is highly revered in Western dicine, whether it’s the surgical instrunts and equipnt, the use of drugs, or even the knowledge of surgical standards – all are learned from Western dicine.

Unexpectedly, Internal dicine seems to value Chinese dicine more as it develops.

“Dr. Zhou may not know this, but Director Tan’s acupuncture skill has even been recognized by the Chinese dicine Association! The reason we asked Director Tan to do the thoracentesis for this patient personally is precisely because for such high-risk tasks, only Director Tan is capable,” Director Luo said to Zhou Can, showing even warr and friendlier sentint upon seeing Director Tan’s affection for Zhou Can.

“I’ve heard that acupuncture is extrely difficult to master. It’s amazing that Director Tan has blossod in multiple fields,” Zhou Can realized after hearing this. No wonder Director Tan’s puncture skill was so formidable.

Acupuncture is even more advanced than the ordinary injection skill.

Especially its acupoint targeting, the shortest silver needle used is also one inch long. The longest golden needle is as much as nine inches.

One inch is equal to 3.3cm, so nine inches is almost 20cm in length.

To insert such a long needle into the body, leaving just a section of the needle tail outside, is terrifying to think about.

At least now, even though Zhou Can has a level-five injection skill, reaching director level, he still has no confidence that he could insert a silver needle, as thin as a cow’s hair and more than ten centiters in length, into a patient’s body.

But so skilled Chinese dicine practitioners can do it.

Whether it’s using silver needles for acupoints or to unblock ridians, they can easily achieve it.

This is precisely the mysterious aspect of Chinese acupuncture.

“Hey, my little skill is not worth ntioning. Xiao Zhou, your puncture skill is rembered to be very impressive as well, right? The puncture for this patient shouldn’t be difficult for you. How about you perform the puncture in a mont?”

Director Tan evidently knew Zhou Can’s abilities very well.

Clearly, he had not neglected to pay attention to Zhou Can’s work.

“Director Tan, this patient’s condition is critical and can’t withstand rough handling! Can we let Dr. Zhou practice another ti?”

Director Jiang beca anxious as soon as he heard this.

He actually didn’t know much about Zhou Can’s capabilities.

“You, you still don’t understand Zhou Can’s talent! For this level of puncture, I can guarantee that he’s fully capable of performing it. Moreover, as I understand, he has done even more complex punctures in surgery, and not just once.”

Director Tan was confident.

He really knew quite clearly about Zhou Can’s work in surgery.

“He… is that skilled? Puncture is easy to learn but hard to master. There are many doctors who can do the four major punctures, but few are truly adept. Dr. Zhou is so young, and puncture skill is a lesser-known dical art; I’m afraid he isn’t as skilled as you say!”
