My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

"Xiao Zhou, even though I've been your mentor for the past three months, I feel particularly fortunate. During the process of guiding you, I've learned a lot as well. Especially from your experience in surgery, your selfless and fearless spirit of exploration, and your extraordinary diagnostic ability, all of which have benefited me greatly. Over these three months, the transfer-out rate for critical patients in the Intensive Care Medicine Department has been steadily increasing, and the hospital stay duration has significantly decreased. I know that you deserve the most credit."

Director Liu looked at Zhou Can, and in his heart, he was extremely reluctant to see him go.

This officer not only brought a strong vitality to the Intensive Care Medicine Department but also achieved remarkably effective results.

Zhou Can liked to repeatedly study those cases he believed could improve with treatment.

Once the cause of the disease was clear, or he had some feasible surgical or treatment plans, he would promptly propose them to Director Liu.

In three months, he helped at least seventy patients successfully escape danger, and all of those patients were eventually safely transferred out of the ICU.

"Under your influence and inspiration, I realized the severe shortcomings of the Intensive Care Medicine Department. We were indeed too conservative before. I have submitted a request to the hospital to add a rotational system. Our proposal is that every month, departments with significant weight such as Cardiovascular Department, Gastroenterology, Gynecology, Obstetrics, Thoracic Surgery, Digestive Tract Surgery, and others, will assign a doctor of Chief Level or higher to participate in duty at the Intensive Care Medicine Department."

"Each profession has its own expertise, and the involvement of specialists will positively push forward the diagnosis and treatment of critical patients. It can reduce the mortality rate and greatly improve the recovery rate of critical patients."

Director Liu also realized that continuing to ring the bell like a monk, wasn't working.

It's like a small tree that got blown over during a stormy night, roots and all pulled out of the ground.

The next day, the local ranger Zhang San saw it and quickly ran over to prop it back up.

He wanted to stake it to support it but worried that might harm the trunk, so he just held it up. He kept waiting for it to regrow properly.

Zhang San held it up daily, even having to ask his wife to help during meals and bathroom breaks.

She had to water it every day too.

Hoping that the tree's roots would soon dig back into the soil and become stable.

Day by day, Zhang San worked tirelessly to help the sapling stand back up, enduring a lot of hardship along with his wife.

A month passed, and the tree did a great job. Its roots dug back deep into the soil, and it no longer needed Zhang San's support.

It was restored to life.

Then, not long after, another tree was knocked down by the wind. Zhang San and his wife used the same 'foolish' method of propping it up and caring for it day and night. Then, farmer Li Si came by, saw this, and suggested an idea.

Create a triangular brace to support the trunk, reinforce the soil around the roots, and water it to help the tree overcome this difficulty.

At first, Zhang San was reluctant, afraid of harming the tree.

Eventually, persuaded by Li Si, he agreed to give it a try.

As it turned out, using Li Si's method, not only did the sapling not die, but it also revived in just half a month.

Since then, Zhang San stopped his foolish, brute-force methods.

From this little story, it's not hard to see that Tuya Hospital's current approach in the Intensive Care Medicine Department is just like ranger Zhang San's foolish mode. It looks very hard-working and exhausting.

But it's inefficient.

The treatment methods are too conservative, which actually adversely affects the patients.

The arrival of Zhou Can is like that passer-by farmer Li Si, boldly proposing various surgical suggestions, or diagnosing the real cause of the illnesses, and treating the patients vigorously.

It seems risky, but the results are actually better.

Director Liu realizes that there's a problem with the treatment model in the Intensive Care Medicine Department, and that's good enough.

As for how to solve it, Zhou Can won't take care of that.

He doubts that applying for doctors from major departments to rotate might be actually implemented.

It involves complex interest relations.

The real solution, I'm afraid, still lies in diligently developing the doctors in our own department. We can send them to key departments for further training.

"Xiao Zhou, do you have any thoughts after the standardized training ends?"

"I will return to work in the Emergency Department."

"If only you could join the Intensive Care Medicine Department. I truly hate to see you go."

Director Liu looked at him, his gaze filled with deep reluctance.

"Actually, I'm quite reluctant to part with you and the other colleagues, but the pursuit of medical knowledge is an unceasing journey forward. I may become a surgeon in the future, but I haven't decided on a specialty yet."

Zhou Can had absolutely no intention of joining the Intensive Care Medicine Department.

But returning here for further learning and training in the future is a possibility.

"I knew it would be impossible to keep you. Which department is next in your standardized training?"

Director Liu showed a hint of a bitter smile.

In the eyes of many doctors, the Intensive Care Medicine Department is a coveted place. But for a super medical talent like Zhou Can, it might not be as esteemed.

"The next department for my standardized training is Cardiothoracic Surgery, followed by Urology, Hepatobiliary, Digestive Tract Surgery, and finally General Surgery. After completing the rotations in these departments, I will transfer to the internal medicine departments."

Three years may seem long,

but for Zhou Can, it is extremely tight.

In terms of building a foundation, the hospital is clearly training him to be a generalist elite doctor.

In the entire Tuya Hospital, there are not many doctors who can enjoy the treatment he receives.

"Alright then! Anyway, you and the Intensive Care Medicine Department have formed a deep connection over these three months. If you need anything in the future, you can always come to me. After you finish your studies, you should also visit the Intensive Care Medicine Department from time to time, to help those patients who are in critical condition."

Director Liu could only settle for the next best thing.

"Thank you for taking care of me and nurturing me over these three months. Dr. Hu, Dr. Shi, Deputy Director Yu, and others have also given me a lot of help, all of which I will remember. I will surely come by often in the future."

Zhou Can was truly filled with gratitude for them.

During these three months, he learned many extremely valuable emergency medical skills.

These would be of tremendous benefit to him when he returned to the Emergency Department and throughout his medical career.

"Ha ha, Dr. Zhou just mentioned my name!"

Deputy Director Yu walked in from outside.

Dr. Hu, Dr. Shi, and others also started to enter the office one after another.

"Some of you were on duty, some were off work at home, how come you all came here?" Deputy Director Liu was surprised to see them.

"Well, we heard that Dr. Zhou was leaving, and we couldn't bear to let him go! After discussing it, we hurried over to bid him farewell."

Dr. Hu explained with a smile.

"Thank you! Thank you all so much for valuing me. Meeting you was my fortune and my fate. Even after I leave, I will miss everyone."

Zhou Can brought his hands together in a gesture of thanks, expressing his gratitude repeatedly to them.

Such a grand farewell for a standardized trainee, it really was a great honor. It also showed how much they valued Zhou Can.

Only when one cares, would they rush over to say goodbye.
