My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

After work, Zhou Can returned to the apartment to practice the quick knife technique that had been neglected for several days.
At this moment, the phone rang.
It was Director Tang from Xinxiang Women and Children’s Hospital calling.
“Hello, Director Tang!”
As Zhou Can’s skills and status continued to rise, he no longer needed to be as humble when conversing with people on Director Tang’s level as he was during his internship. He appeared composed and confident, handling the conversation effortlessly.
“Oh, Dr. Zhou has saved my phone number! That really surprises me!” Director Tang was a diplomatic type, often speaking sweet words that were meant to be pleasing rather than taken seriously.
Never take them too seriously.
“The last time you wrote down your number for me, I saved it. You’re definitely a busy person, so if you’re calling me, there must be something you need.” Zhou Can didn’t want to beat around the bush with him.
“Haha! Dr. Zhou, you really have foresight! I do have something I need to ask for your help with!”
What could Director Tang need Zhou Can’s help with?
“Please, go ahead!”
Zhou Can’s eyes slightly narrowed, and his expression became a bit more serious.
If he intended to recruit him to Xinxiang Women and Children’s Hospital, Zhou Can would certainly refuse without hesitation.
“I heard you collaborated with Director Zhang in our hospital today on the surgery for a child with a congenital hand deformity! Director Zhang speaks highly of your surgical skills, and the other medical staff involved were all extremely impressed with you. They all praised your surgery skills highly.”
It’s not surprising that Director Tang knew about this.
“Haha, they’re just flattering me. Please don’t take it too seriously!”
Zhou Can felt quite happy to be praised.
Exceptional surgical skills have always been something he prides himself on.
“I happen to be familiar with a doctor at your Tuya Hospital, so I asked around about you. It seems that not only are your traditional surgical skills impressive, but your endoscopic surgeries are equally astonishing.”
Director Tang didn’t mention which doctor at Tuya Hospital he was familiar with, which was a way of protecting that doctor.
Even though the two hospitals have cooperated once, they are still in a competitive relationship.
Certain matters definitely require avoiding suspicion.
“The lung cancer patient we admitted last time still hasn’t had the surgery scheduled. The patient and family are quite anxious, but unfortunately, our hospital’s Director Meng Chun is abroad for further training and hasn’t returned yet. Senior talent in endoscopic surgery is inherently scarce, and our hospital has been unable to find a suitable chief surgeon for the time being.”
It turned out Director Tang was seeking Zhou Can’s help for this matter.
“If Dr. Zhou feels confident about completing this surgery, could you spare some time to help us? I understand the rules, and I won’t ask you to do it for free. If the surgery is successful, in addition to an attendance fee, you’ll receive a surgical commission. Even if the surgery fails, you won’t be held responsible; we’ll handle it on our end. However, I need to clarify one point: since your current rank is resident doctor, according to the surgical safety access protocol, you can’t be the official host for such an advanced surgery.”
“So we’d need to use Hu Wanjun’s name for this. Which means, officially she would be the chief surgeon, but you’d be performing the endoscopic procedure.”
Director Tang had carefully considered all aspects before approaching him.
The opportunity to actually host a lung cancer removal surgery, especially an endoscopic one, was extremely tempting for Zhou Can.
He practically knew with his eyes closed that as long as he successfully completed this surgery, he would earn at least 100 Experience Points rewards for medical skills. In reality, it might be even more.
His various medical skills have now been upgraded to level 5, and further advancement requires 100,000 experience points.
For him, any opportunity to earn a 100 Experience Points reward is exceedingly precious.
Even if the surgery fails, he won’t bear any responsibility.
As for the honor of successful surgery not belonging to him, he truly doesn’t mind. As long as he has the ability, reputation doesn’t matter much.
When he advances to the rank of associate chief physician, his surgical skills are expected to be even more exceptional.
By then, doing a few high-difficulty surgeries can make his fame widespread.
“Your hospital trusts me with such an important surgery, I really have no reason to refuse. I carefully examined the condition of the lung cancer patient that day; I dare not boast, but I have a sixty to seventy percent confidence level.”
With this response, Zhou Can essentially agreed.
Director Tang was extremely delighted.
“Good, excellent! I knew I found the right person. A sixty to seventy percent confidence level is already quite high. When would Dr. Zhou be available for surgery? We can prepare in advance.”
Unable to recruit Zhou Can, inviting him for surgery was exceptionally smooth.
The lung cancer surgery would be their second collaboration.
“During the day, I basically need to work every day. Can we do it at night?” Zhou Can was just a hardworking resident physician, though compared to other resident doctors, he was a lot better off.
He almost never had to work night shifts.
Neither the inpatient supervisor nor the departmental doctors responsible for resident doctors ever assigned night shifts or overtime to Zhou Can.
When overtime is necessary, the supervisor directly leads the teaching instructor and takes Zhou Can along for difficult surgeries.
“Your hospital certainly exploits its junior doctors; not even scheduling any breaks. At least arrange two or three days off per month!” Director Tang spoke up for him.
In theory, when the teaching instructor rests, the resident physician can also rest. In practice, resident physicians with no breaks are the norm.
