My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

"When I used to follow the teacher for consultations, I did hear some patients say that they were fine during the day but had fevers at night. I just didn’t expect this newly operated patient to have the same problem."
At the very least, she’s a doctor, so even if she’s inexperienced, she’s still heard of most symptoms.
"An upper respiratory tract infection caused by viruses or bacteria can trigger an inflammatory response. Alternatively, there’s a post-surgical infection at the wound. Other possibilities include infectious diseases like tuberculosis or tuberculous pleuritis, which could cause the patient to have a fever at night while being fine during the day."
Zhou Can shared the medical knowledge he knew with her without any reservations.
After listening, Jiang Shuangshuang looked at him with eyes full of admiration. "Dr. Zhou, no wonder you’re one of the most outstanding young doctors at Tuya Hospital. Your medical knowledge is as vast as the ocean. It’s my first time knowing that so many illnesses can cause nighttime fevers with normal daytime temperatures. Do you think the patient in bed 6 has a post-operative wound infection?"
Her ability to think and learn is really excellent.
After hearing what Zhou Can said, she immediately thought of the patient in bed 6.
This made Zhou Can even more optimistic about her.
Doctors transferred from other departments are usually underperformers, with one or more issues.
Jiang Shuangshuang’s simplicity might be her biggest weakness.
Moreover, her medical knowledge isn’t as solid as expected, which is disadvantageous for an Internal Medicine doctor.
With such fierce competition in every department at Tuya Hospital, her elimination was inevitable.
"The surgical patient in bed 6 may not necessarily have a post-operative infection. Anyway, keeping a close watch on that patient can’t go wrong."
Zhou Can explained.
"Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’m heading to the operating room. Goodbye."
"Bye!"
She waved her hand, watching Zhou Can leave.
Judging by her expression, her psychological burden seemed relieved.
Zhou Can entered the operating room and found Ma Xiaolan diligently disinfecting the operating table and laying out sheets. Qiao Yu was preparing the instruments and medications needed for the first surgery.
Luo Shishen hasn’t arrived yet.
The atmosphere inside the operating room was quite harmonious.
"Good morning, ladies!"
Zhou Can greeted the two with a smile.
"Xiaolan arrived much earlier than me. As soon as I came in, I saw her meticulously checking the items in those cabinets." Qiao Yu was clearly speaking positively about Ma Xiaolan.
Praising her for her progress.
"Ma Xiaolan, well done!"
Zhou Can was very pleased to see that she had truly changed for the better.
If she were kicked out of the team, he would feel awkward facing Ye Tingting in the future.
"Please don’t praise me! Compared to Sister Qiao Yu, I still have a long way to go! In the future, I will strive to learn from Sister Qiao Yu and work hard to become a qualified surgical nurse as soon as possible."
Ma Xiaolan said, glancing at Qiao Yu.
The two exchanged smiles, no longer at odds. They must have communicated before Zhou Can entered the operating room.
"Ha ha, you two are now buddy-buddy, which is great!"
Zhou Can was genuinely happy for the two of them.
At this moment, he deeply felt how challenging it is to be a good ’leader.’
"Good morning, Dr. Zhou! Good morning, ladies!"
Luo Shishen rushed into the operating room, breathing heavily, probably because he ran to get there.
"Can’t you be a little earlier? You’re almost always arriving just on time every day."
Zhou Can glared at him and said.
This guy is just like Dr. Lu, always clocking in at the last minute, feeling they’re losing out if they work a minute longer.
However, he’s a lot better than Dr. Lu in one regard: he doesn’t slack off during work and his attitude towards patients is commendable. At least he is serious and responsible.
"Please spare me! I have to read books and practice suturing pig skin and bean threading every night and usually sleep at midnight. I’m afraid of sudden death if I wake up earlier."
Luo Shishen looked troubled.
As a clinical doctor, suturing technique is a basic skill that must be practiced.
Among the four basic surgical techniques, Suturing Skill is the easiest to practice. The materials aren’t expensive and are easy to obtain as needed.
If it were Anastomosis or Hemostasis Skill, he’d need to buy mice or rabbits and use the hospital’s research and teaching room. Not everyone can afford equipment like an electrocautery device like Zhou Can.
Many hospitals are quite stingy with their research and teaching facilities and do not keep them open for interns at all times.
Usually, the opportunity only arises during training courses.
Most clinical teaching happens in the real operating room, with about a dozen interns watching the teacher perform surgery, a scene very common.
Speaking of which, there’s a joke.
A pregnant woman had a premature rupture of membranes and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. An older female chief physician brought an assistant into the examining room to perform a vaginal exam on her.
She was in pain and had her eyes closed at the time.
When she opened her eyes again, she was horrified to see a crowd of white coats at the foot of the bed, both male and female. She screamed at a high pitch in horror and later felt her privacy was violated, directly suing the doctor and the hospital.
Eventually, the hospital apologized to her but made no compensation, and the case was closed.
Imagine lying there with your legs open, exposing your most private area to the doctor, only to be surrounded by a dozen young doctors. That pregnant woman would carry haunting memories of it for life.
