Chapter 394: Chapter 184: Taking the Medical Practitioner Certificate Exam, Unexpectedly Acquiring Anesthesia Skills_3
After one year and nine months of hard work, his medical foundational knowledge had actually seen a substantial improvement compared to his senior year in college.
This point was evident from the residency application exam he took a year ago.
His theoretical exam score was quite good.
Though having strong diagnostic capabilities and a rich accumulation of case histories played a part, a supplemented foundation in knowledge was also a contributing factor.
After reaching an agreement with Director Xue, Zhou Can diligently wrote case reports, prescribed medical orders, and researched materials.
If nothing else, at least his enthusiasm for learning had increased more than ever before.
In the afternoon, around two o’clock, Director Le called Zhou Can.
“Dr. Zhou, if you’re not busy, come to operating room number 1 immediately. Director Hu will soon perform a thymoma excision surgery. This surgery is extremely difficult, but you can learn a great deal of surgical experience and knowledge.”
“Alright, I will be right there!”
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Can notified the attending physician, Doctor Long, and rushed to operating room number 1.
Human interactions are quite miraculous.
He and Director Le initially had no connection whatsoever.
It all began with that successful treatment of a patient with a pectoral muscle tear, followed by his kind reminder to Director Le that the patient scheduled for a heart bypass surgery might have taken anti-coagulant painkillers within a week prior.
These two incidents significantly enhanced Director Le’s favorable impression of him.
Gradually, they became familiar with each other.
Director Le’s mentorship towards him had been relentless.
Admittedly, Zhou Can’s sociability and outstanding potential were part of the reasons.
But at least, these were not the factors that took their relationship from strangers to acquaintances.
“Fate brings people together from afar, while lack of it makes them strangers despite being face to face.”
Sometimes, it really is like that.
Zhou Can arrived in operating room number 1 at lightning speed. The surgery hadn’t started yet.
The patient was already lying on the operating table, with the anesthesiologist being the one with the zombie-like face.
At this moment, both Director Le and Director Hu had yet to arrive.
“Doctor Feng, you’re in charge of the anesthesia again! Is there anything I can do to help?”
Zhou Can had interacted with this anesthesiologist on numerous occasions.
Every time this person led anesthesia in a surgery, it was always a Level 4 major operation.
Moreover, by intuition, he felt that Doctor Feng’s skills surpassed even those of Dr. Guan.
Aside from being cold-faced, taciturn, and a bit eccentric, his actual abilities were truly excellent.
“Insert the tracheal tube! Connect to the ventilator.”
He was really sparing with his words, and his tone was chilly as well.
Zhou Can was already accustomed to this; he was nimble and professional in assisting with the tasks.
Very quickly, he connected all the machinery properly.
Inserting a catheter is usually done after the success of general anesthesia to avoid causing pain to the patient.
“The dosage of the anesthetic must be careful, not too rapid. If given too quickly, it’s difficult to recover from any dangerous situation. After administering the drug, you need to closely monitor the patient’s various responses. Skin color, breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, and brain waves are all points of emphasis.”
In a rare occurrence, Doctor Feng actually went out of his way to instruct Zhou Can on some anesthesia techniques and key points.
And as soon as he spoke, it was all valuable information.
[Congratulations, you have successfully acquired Anesthesia Technique and can perform anesthesia on patients. Your current experience points are Level 1, 1/10, with the proficiency of a failing intern.]
Zhou Can never would have imagined that he would have such a substantial unexpected gain.
He was naturally thrilled to accept the medical technique from the system.
The Anesthesia Technique he obtained at this moment was an entirely different concept from the local anesthetics he had used on patients before.
This was genuine anesthesia expertise.
Much more advanced.
