My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 663 - 275: Turning Danger into Safety, Status Elevat

Making a bit on the side, isn’t that perfectly normal?

If you really only take ho two to three thousand yuan after deducting social security and housing fund, it’s not enough to support a family. Who would still want to be a doctor?

At least before there were explicit policies against it, this is how everyone operated.

Prescribing dication, using consumables, and taking kickbacks also constitute a sizable inco.

After getting promoted to attending physician and gaining so fa, one could make extra money by consulting at other hospitals a few tis a month or collaborating with so smaller clinics. That, plus a regular salary, could make life quite comfortable.

Apart from these gray inco-generating thods, doctors also had many other ways to increase earnings.

It varies from person to person.

In any case, as long as it’s not blatantly exploiting patients or fleecing their families, it’s acceptable.

Dean Tian thanked the three of them and ntioned Zhou Can before Director Dai, which was an interesting implication.

In this case of the young patient, Director Dai’s contribution was the smallest, while Zhou Can’s was the greatest.

But since Director Zhang held the highest position and also contributed, after comprehensive consideration, Dean Tian arranged the acknowledgnts appropriately, placing Zhou Can second, which really wasn’t incorrect.

Director Dai might feel uncomfortable if he’s petty.

That’s just how real society is; it’s impossible to keep everyone happy.

Knowing one’s place is very important.

You shouldn’t overestimate yourself, but also shouldn’t underestimate others.

"Director Zhang, allow to ask, isn’t the most outstanding young doctor at Tuya Hospital the doctorate holder Du Leng who was recently promoted to attending physician? It seems to that Dr. Zhou is even more skilled than Du Leng. Forgive my ignorance, but could you introduce Dr. Zhou’s background, to allow to get reacquainted with the promising and young Dr. Zhou?"

Dean Tian could maintain her position as dean with her ability to curry favor.

Seeing Zhou Can’s standout performance, she imdiately wanted to make his acquaintance and establish a rapport. If Zhou Can beca famous, it would be highly beneficial for Xinxiang Won and Children’s Hospital, and for Dean Tian personally.

"Du Leng graduated from a prestigious overseas university and has a doctorate degree; he is indeed excellent. However, speaking of diagnostic and surgical skills, to my knowledge, Dr. Zhou certainly has the potential to beco a leading figure among Tuya Hospital’s younger generation. That’s all I’ll say; Dean Tian, please make your own judgnt."

The praise Director Zhang Bihua gave Zhou Can made him blink in fright.

Wasn’t this just setting Zhou Can up for resentnt?

Painting him as a leader among the young generation in Tuya General Hospital, which is teeming with strong contenders, including a multitude of masters and doctorates, might elevate Zhou Can too much.

At least Zhou Can currently didn’t have that confidence.

If he could maintain his current pace of dical improvent, it wouldn’t be a problem to beco a new generation leader in five to eight years.

Compared to special talents with high educational qualifications like Du Leng, he actually did have certain disadvantages. For instance, he had to complete the residency training sincerely for three years, while Du Leng was promoted to attending physician after just one year.

Zhou Can would need at least four years of formal work after completing his residency to be promoted to attending physician.

After completing an undergraduate internship and obtaining residency qualifications, one is considered a dical Officer, also known as a Bachelor of dicine. Upon receiving their dical Practitioner Certificate, they are promoted to physician.

Zhou Can is currently at the physician level.

Then, after the residency ends, one is promoted to resident doctor. After working for four years, they can take exams for the interdiate level, and if passed, they are promoted to attending physician.

Du Leng, holding a Ph.D., was automatically promoted to attending physician after one year.

And the gap will continue to grow.

After Ph.D. students are promoted to interdiate professional titles, i.e., attending physicians, they only need three more years to be eligible for the associate senior professional title. By then, Zhou Can would still be at the junior rank of a resident doctor.

How could the two even compare?

Those who tout the irrelevance of educational qualifications and believe ability trumps everything are simply naïve, never having been battered by social reality.

The starting points aren’t comparable at all.

Even soone as exceptionally capable as Zhou Can needs to work on academic qualifications to surpass Du Leng. He needs to elevate his educational level as soon as possible.

The most common path is working while studying for a graduate degree.

Working while preparing for the graduate entrance exam.

This is what most undergraduates do.

Whether they pass the exam or not is another matter; at least a graduate degree sounds more prestigious than an undergraduate one.

It carries more weight.

For Zhou Can, obtaining a graduate master’s degree is not a challenge, as long as he asks for it. The higher-ups in Tuya Hospital would probably find a way to help him out.

People like Director Yin Hua and Director Tan from Internal dicine have already approached Zhou Can, indicating they’d solve his educational issues if he was willing to transfer to internal dicine.

However, Zhou Can had his own plans for advancing his education, taking a different path.
