Chapter 215
“I will prescribe the medication and move the patient out of the operating room, getting ready for the next surgery!”
Her attitude towards Zhou Can has significantly changed.
She spoke with extraordinary politeness.
Almost as if they were peers.
Strength is always the easiest and most solid condition to earn respect.
Zhou Can not only has strong surgical skills, but he can also provide accurate medical treatment plans, showing that he has no weaknesses in treatment.
Currently, he is far ahead of the other five resident doctors.
But this is just the beginning.
Although this operating room is the worst one in orthopedics, the volume of surgeries done in a day is still quite astonishing.
The examination report of the fourth patient appeared again on the screen.
It was an image of a patient’s knee joint.
Both X-ray and ultrasound scans were performed.
“This is a classic case of knee joint pyogenic infection!”
The resident doctor who excelled at reading images answered first.
“I agree with his diagnosis. A surgical incision for pus drainage and irrigation might be needed.” Zhou Can had handled similar infections in emergencies before, and his treatment experience was quite rich.
“All very impressive! The patient indeed has a knee joint pyogenic infection, and the surgical plan is as Dr. Zhou mentioned, requiring an incision for irrigation.”
Doctor Shan noticed that two resident doctors stood out, a smile of pleasure appearing on her face.
Most senior doctors actually hope to see their successors thrive.
People like Dr. Lu from the Emergency Department who are selfish to the extreme are, after all, the minority.
The patient was soon wheeled in.
Zhou Can was thrilled.
Another opportunity to showcase his skills had arrived.
And it also allowed him to earn a significant amount of experience points.
Since it was a competition, he was not in the mood for niceties.
He directly asked Doctor Shan for surgical permissions, including making incisions.
With previous excellent performances in hemostasis, suturing, and puncturing, he had already begun to establish a foundation of trust in Doctor Shan’s eyes.
At this point, requesting permission for a moderately risky surgery, she was unlikely to refuse.
“I’ll handle the incision! You can take care of the rest!”
She didn’t dare let Zhou Can perform the incision.
Almost all senior doctors are the same. They rarely delegate the highest-risk part of the procedure, the incision, to a subordinate.
Zhou Can was not discouraged.
Being able to snatch the remaining opportunities to practice was still great.
As for chances to perform surgeries that were riskier and more difficult, as long as he secured his resident doctor position in the operating room, he would have plenty of opportunities to strive for in the future.
…
In this way, they performed around twelve Level 1 and Level 2 surgeries in the morning.
By lunchtime, Zhou Can once again deeply felt the busyness of the operating room. Everyone took turns eating in shifts. There was no time to rest.
“Zhou Can, Dr. Hee, and nurse Wang Xiaohong will stay with me to continue with the surgeries. The rest of you grab your lunch quickly and return to the operating room as soon as possible.”
Doctor Shan made the arrangements.
She surprisingly didn’t keep Doctor Tang, instead, she chose Zhou Can.
It seemed she was planning to let Zhou Can assist her all along.
But it’s understandable.
Having a strong assistant for the surgery not only lightens the main surgeon’s load significantly but also increases operational efficiency tremendously.
Just like Zhou Can particularly enjoyed operating with Qiao Yu.
No other reason, just because she was in sync with him and the work of the surgical nurse was extremely professional.
Doctor Shan didn’t keep Dr. Hee, the resident doctor, to assist her directly.
Instead, she assigned him to specifically handle casting for the patients, just helping out in the operating room.
She definitely wouldn’t trust other resident doctors to cast alone.
Such tasks, when assigned to Dr. Hee, made her feel very secure.
Zhou Can’s status in the operating room was also rapidly ascending. The number of surgical tasks he could handle was continuously increasing.
