My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

After ending the call with Zhou Can, she immediately began to trace the healthcare workers who had contact with the patient, listing their names and verifying them.
As the department head, her work capability was beyond doubt.
From Director Tang’s meticulous process of tracing and then arranging for staff to contact each healthcare worker who had been in contact with the patient one by one, it was evident that her ability was exceptionally strong.
Director Yan, who was over 65 years old, had already gone home after work and was playing with his young grandson.
Playing with grandchildren and enjoying sweets is a life many elderly people yearn for.
As people get older, they feel lonely, and communication with their children becomes difficult. There is a generation gap in thinking, and a significant difference in the ideas and lifestyles between the elderly and the younger generation.
Additionally, as elders, older people tend to impose their lifestyle and thoughts on their children.
If the children are young, it might not be a problem.
But once the children become adults, continuing to do so can easily cause conflicts between both parties.
Thus, nearly all elderly people share a trait — they especially adore cute and innocent grandchildren. Playing with them more easily evokes their inner childlike innocence and brings back some beautiful childhood memories.
A large family filled with children and grandchildren is a great joy for the elderly.
Director Yan’s grandson was just over two years old, adorable and clever.
Under his grandmother’s teasing, he often let out laughter that could melt anyone’s heart. His childlike voice and speech also brought Director Yan immense joy.
“Grandma hug!”
“Alright, my dear little grandson, Grandma will hug you!”
Director Yan picked up the grandson, holding him in her arms, and couldn’t help but kiss his soft little face affectionately.
At this moment, her phone rang.
“Grandma is going to take a call! Be good, don’t move!”
“I won’t move!”
The little grandson replied in a childish voice and obediently lay still in Grandma’s arms, just tilting his head curiously at the phone Grandma was holding.
Director Yan saw that the call was from Director Tang Fei, and her expression turned serious.
Picking up the call, she cheerfully greeted, “Director Tang, what’s the matter?”
“There’s indeed a matter. Did you come into contact with an elderly woman who fainted in consultation room 17 during the day?”
“Yes! At the time, that new outpatient doctor, Xiao Zhou, was diagnosing the patient. The elderly woman was shocked upon hearing that her granddaughter’s condition was severe and suddenly fainted. Xiao Zhou might lack experience and panicked a bit, so I went over to help when I heard. I suppose the elderly woman is alright, right?”
Director Yan’s first reaction was that the elderly woman had an incident.
Then the family might be causing trouble for the hospital.
Such things do happen from time to time.
It wasn’t hard to detect from Director Yan’s words a hint of belittlement and disdain towards Zhou Can.
Lack of experience and a bit panicked, that was her impression of Zhou Can.
If Zhou Can heard this, he might just chuckle to himself.
At that time, what he worried about was the family fainting in the consultation room and later being unable to explain. As for a patient or family having an issue and calling other doctors to help, that was standard procedure.
“The granddaughter of that elderly woman has been confirmed to have a new Bunyavirus infection! Dr. Zhou suspects the elderly woman might also have been infected with this virus. He instructed me to notify all the healthcare workers who had contact with that elderly woman to ensure they take precautions and isolate to prevent spreading it to their families.”
As soon as Director Tang Fei finished speaking, Director Yan was scared as if possessed by a demon, hastily pushing the grandson out of her arms.
“Waa waa…”
The startled little grandson sat on the ground, crying loudly.
The daughter-in-law, who was reading in the room, and the son, who was busy working overtime, didn’t know what had happened.
They both rushed out to check.
“Mom, what happened? Did Xiao Bao fall to the ground?”
“I had contact with a patient who might be infected with the new Bunyavirus today. I was just holding Xiao Bao, worrying that I might spread it to him, so I hurriedly pushed him away…”
Director Yan, recalling how she had kissed the little grandson earlier, felt like hitting herself twice.
Although the new Bunyavirus primarily spreads through blood transmission, several news reports mention unknown methods of contact transmission. In one case, all those who came into contact with the deceased’s clothes, bedding, or body fell ill one after another.
Even if there’s only a one in ten thousand chance of transmission, Director Yan wouldn’t dare gamble with her grandson’s life.
“Director Yan, Director Yan, are you okay?”
Director Tang Fei on the other end of the phone heard a cacophony and the sound of a child crying, not knowing what had happened.
“I’m fine! I’m fine now, but I’m afraid I might have contracted the disease and spread it to my family. Ah… it’s all my fault for being careless. At that time, Dr. Zhou repeatedly emphasized that the elderly woman might have an infectious disease, but I didn’t take it seriously. If I got infected and passed it to my little grandson, I won’t be able to face my son and daughter-in-law!”
Director Yan regretted it so much she felt her intestines turning green.
At this moment, she realized Zhou Can’s wisdom and foresight.
The discomfort from being rebutted by Zhou Can twice had long disappeared, replaced by regret.
“Don’t worry, the main danger of this disease is that it’s easily mistaken for a cold and treated as such. Its condition progresses quite rapidly, and delaying the optimal treatment time can easily lead to danger. Though Dr. Zhou is just a novice doctor, he’s quite famous in multiple departments of Tu Ya’s surgery, and his diagnostic ability is notably excellent. The next time you encounter a case he insists might be problematic, you’d better take it a bit more seriously.”
