Chapter 421: Chapter 194: A Mother’s Home is Just a Mother’s Home, Dr. Zhou Has Improved So Much_2
More than a year had passed, and Dr. Xu seemed to have aged a bit more.
He was almost single-handedly managing all the surgical affairs of the Emergency Department, undoubtedly under a lot of pressure.
Whether man or woman, high pressure can especially accelerate aging.
“I’m going to grab some lunch now, remember to keep in touch on WeChat! Bye!”
Qiao Yu tactfully left some space for the mentor and apprentice.
“Is this about bringing a patient in for treatment?”
Dr. Xu glanced at the patient not far behind Zhou Can.
“A patient from the Digestive Surgery outpatient clinic had alcohol-induced esophageal and gastric varices with rupture and bleeding, the situation isn’t particularly severe. Director Jia suggested they be admitted for treatment, but Digestive Surgery had no beds available, so they sent me to bring him to the Emergency Department to see if they could stay in the observation room for a night. Start the treatment first, then figure out the next steps.”
Zhou Can thoroughly explained the situation.
“That’s easy to handle, just give me the patient’s information! You must learn well during your rotation and training in surgery, never be arrogant or complacent, always ask your senior doctors for advice, okay?”
Dr. Xu nagged like a parent advising a child.
To Zhou Can’s ears, however, it was deeply endearing.
“The patient’s information was taken by Ye Tingting; she went to find Dr. Ali.”
Zhou Can was reporting when Ye Tingting came back.
With a smile on her face.
“It’s settled. Dr. Ai asked me to arrange the patient in the observation area first, she will come soon to administer the medications.” After speaking, Ye Tingting then turned to the family. “You should go to the service window and register for an emergency number under Dr. Ali from the Emergency Department, otherwise we cannot admit or prescribe medication.”
This was also only because of Zhou Can’s good reputation that the Emergency Department readily agreed to admit this patient.
Otherwise, the standard procedure would have to be followed.
“The matter is already settled, you should hurry back to Digestive Surgery to continue with your work! Digestive Surgery overlaps significantly with General Surgery; learning under Director Jia is an excellent opportunity. Make sure to take full advantage of it. If you learn well, the training period in General Surgery could even be reduced to one month.”
Dr. Xu urged Zhou Can to leave quickly.
Being someone who had been through it, he knew that every minute of the training is incredibly valuable.
Once the training is over, wanting to learn in other departments will become difficult.
You can only apply for opportunities to study in other departments.
And given Zhou Can’s talents, he is bound to be at least a team leader of a surgical group in the future, a core member.
Once the official surgical team is formed, it wouldn’t be easy to just leave.
He would be responsible for all the team members.
If a core member leaves, the remaining people will be unable to perform the critical parts of complex surgeries. That is extremely problematic.
Thus, taking the training period to learn as many skills as possible is the right path.
“Teacher, I’ll be heading out now! Goodbye!”
Zhou Can waved goodbye to Dr. Xu and Ye Tingting.
Leaving the Emergency Department, he felt quite sentimental; the maternal home is indeed the maternal home, returning always feels particularly good.
He just hoped that he could successfully pass the upcoming first medical comprehensive examination.
Only by obtaining the Medical Practitioner Certificate could he secure a future.
…
When Zhou Can returned to the Digestive Surgery department, Director Jia had already finished his clinic hours.
He asked Zhou Can to have lunch and rest for a bit before entering the operating room at one o’clock to perform surgery together.
By the time Zhou Can finished his lunch, it was almost one o’clock.
There was no time for a break, he used the restroom and directly rushed to the operating room.
Digestive Surgery and General Surgery share several operating rooms.
Zhou Can arrived just in time, the surgery hadn’t started yet. He directly pushed open the operating room door and walked in.
If the surgery had already started, he would have to ring the doorbell and let the medical staff inside open the door.
The indicator light on the door would usually be red, displaying messages like “In surgery, do not disturb”.
After entering, Zhou Can found that Senior Sister Qiu was already there.
And a few doctors and nurses he didn’t recognize.
These doctors were definitely members of the team.
Since they weren’t seen during Director Jia’s clinic hours, it indicated that these individuals had either already completed their training or were just general trainees.
Qiu Hong accompanies Old Jia every day in his clinic, belonging to the key trainees.
“This here is Director Jia’s newly accepted student, Zhou Can, currently rotating in our Digestive Surgery for a three-month training period.” Seeing Zhou Can enter, Qiu Hong immediately smiled and introduced him.
“Hello everyone!”
Zhou Can didn’t dare to address them casually, after all, he didn’t know them, nor was he aware of their identities or ranks.
Just calling someone a teacher recklessly is nonsense.
It might be normal for interns to do this.
But for a trainee about to take a double certification, randomly calling others teachers would seem particularly degrading.
Some researchers, either master’s or doctoral, would operate with their advisors. Their status and ranks are on the same level as Zhou Can.
Their practical experience might not even compare to Zhou Can’s.
“Hello!”
The doctors’ responses were lukewarm.
Some answered verbally, some nodded, enough to acknowledge his greeting.
A new trainee, no matter how outstanding, was just average in their eyes. Their indifferent attitude towards Zhou Can was normal.
Even Qiu Hong was initially rather cold towards Zhou Can.
Only later, impressed by Zhou Can’s skills, did she proactively start calling him Junior Brother Zhou.
The patient was already lying on the operating table, with the anesthesiologist busy at work.
Zhou Can looked up and laughed.
“Dr. Guan, it’s you!”
Zhou Can was very familiar with several anesthesiologists. Dr. Guan and Doctor Feng both had close relationships with Zhou Can.
