Chapter 106
Finally, I understand why every time Zhou Can collaborates with Tian Tian in surgeries, the number of surgeries completed decreases significantly. But when he collaborates with Qiao Yu, it’s like having divine assistance.
There really is a difference between people.
Both are instrument nurses, but their work abilities are worlds apart.
“Dr. Zhou, congratulations!”
Qiao Yu said with a light smile.
“Thank you!”
Zhou Can was genuinely grateful.
As she approached, Zhou Can whispered, “Aren’t you afraid of getting into trouble helping me?”
Qiao Yu playfully rolled her eyes.
“Can you not say such saddening things? I specifically begged the head nurse for a long time yesterday to let me work the morning shift today, just so I could assist you!”
Morning shift is also known as day shift.
If it’s in the inpatient department, only the morning shift nurses are truly in charge. Their shift is fixed, always in the mornings.
The evening and night shift nurses work on rotation.
They are called on-duty nurses, and there is quite a difference between them and the day shift nurses. Their position is not as esteemed, and they are not as specialized in their professions.
Due to the unique nature of the Emergency Department, most of the nursing positions are rotating.
Everyone wants to work the day shift, but as a newcomer, Qiao Yu almost had no competitive edge.
It was truly not easy for her to ask the head nurse to arrange a day shift for her.
She must have said a lot of good things and pleaded for a long time.
“Don’t be angry, okay? It was just a joke. How about I treat you to ten cups of milk tea as an apology?”
Zhou Can quickly apologized.
“That’s more like it!”
She turned her pout into a smile.
Not far away, Tian Tian had been avoiding Zhou Can, keeping her distance from him.
Now hearing that Zhou Can would treat Qiao Yu to ten milk teas, she immediately perked up.
“Dr. Zhou, being so generous, you can’t just treat Qiao Yu!”
Most women love to take small advantages.
Tian Tian also wanted to latch onto those ten cups of milk tea from Zhou Can.
“Dr. Zhou only earns so much salary a month. He just treated all the nurses at the Emergency Department to milk tea. Don’t extort him anymore! I was just joking and didn’t actually expect him to treat me.”
Qiao Yu quickly spoke up for Zhou Can.
She was worried that Zhou Can, out of concern for his image, would agree to Tian Tian’s request.
“No, no, no, a man must keep his word. I said I’d treat you, so I’ll treat you. As for Tian Tian and others, well, I’ll treat them too when I have more money,” Zhou Can wasn’t foolish and loaded with money.
Last time he agreed to treat all the nurses to milk tea to foster good relations and familiarize himself with them.
Tian Tian was too calculating and really mistook him for an easy mark.
She even ambitiously hoped to enjoy the same treatment as Qiao Yu, which was pure wishful thinking.
Zhou Can spoke beautifully on the surface, but inwardly he thought, does she even qualify?
“Well then, I just wish Dr. Zhou becomes a wealthy man soon!”
Seeing she couldn’t get more, Tian Tian gave up.
Qiao Yu, enjoying such special treatment, felt sweet inside.
The smile on her face grew even brighter.
“What flavor do you like?”
Zhou Can asked her.
“Are you really treating me? Then I’d like a cup of Jasmine-flavored milk tea.”
She thought for a moment and said.
Sometimes, people are just strange.
People like Tian Tian, who sparing no effort in trying to take advantage, end up with nothing. Those like Qiao Yu, who aren’t greedy, tend to receive more.
“No problem!”
How could Zhou Can only treat her to one cup?
He was definitely going to treat her to ten.
As they were talking, patients needing surgery were being continuously brought into the operating room.
A busy day had started again.
With Qiao Yu as his ‘golden partner,’ performing surgeries felt divinely assisted, quick and efficient, truly exhilarating.
Looking over at Jin Mingxi, even his face mask couldn’t hide his despondent expression.
His heart must be pretty crushed.
Zhou Can had already completed three surgeries, while he had just finished one.
The difference was just too big.
“Qiao Yu, keep an eye on Dr. Xu’s side. If you see any simple excision surgeries coming up, call me.”
Zhou Can’s Incision Skill had just barely reached a middle level among resident doctors, and he really wanted to find a chance to practice.
If one must describe it, he was itching to try.
He had lost count of how many dissections on mice he had performed. But he had yet to try it on a patient.
Actually, once the Incision Skill reaches a lower level among resident doctors, one can participate in some simple excision surgeries.
Such as removing foreign objects beneath the skin, cutting some simple external hemorrhoids, etc.
One patient after another was brought into the surgery room, and each was wheeled out after their surgery was completed.
The opportunity Zhou Can was waiting for never appeared.
As it neared the end of the shift, a middle-aged woman with her face swollen like a bull terrier was wheeled into the surgery room.
At this moment, Zhou Can had no more surgeries in his hands.
Jin Mingxi’s surgery was wrapping up.
Since Doctor Fu was about to come over for the shift change, and considering that Doctor Fu currently didn’t want to get too close to him, fearing complications, Zhou Can didn’t want to make the situation awkward by calling in new surgical patients.BOLD
It’s better to finish work early and go home to practice medicine on mice.
“Hey, here’s the surgical opportunity you wanted!”
Qiao Yu whispered to him.
Zhou Can looked at the woman with a giant swelling on her face, and his spirits lifted.
Based on his feeling, the swelling on the woman’s face seemed to be something like a lipoma.
“What happened to her? Have all the tests been done?”
Dr. Xu asked.
“All the tests are in place. This is the result of the relevant tests. It happened because she had acne on her face, and after using an acne needle to poke it, it turned into this. Dr. Luo has examined her and said that there is an abscess inside.”
