Chapter 427: Chapter 196: Difficult Intestinal Anastomosis. To Become a Great Tree, Do Not Compete with Grass_2
The human body has many organs, and for certain high-difficulty surgical tasks, as long as it’s the first attempt and successfully completed, one can obtain a reward of 100 Experience Points.
Don’t look at Zhou Can’s Anastomosis now being Level 4, the level of a lower-ranking attending physician.
To be promoted to Level 5 requires 10,000 Experience Points.
If he could occasionally get a challenging high-difficulty anastomosis, it is estimated that in less than three months, his Anastomosis skills could be promoted to the Associate Director Level.
A one-time award of 100 Experience Points, this reward is quite considerable.
Normally, he needs to complete a hundred ordinary anastomosis surgeries to earn this many Experience Points.
“Director Jia, could you please check this for me? Let me know what hasn’t been done well, I’ll strive to correct it next time.”
His choice of words was very cautious.
He didn’t say he would definitely correct it but used ‘strive’, a flexible term.
It’s not that he lacks humility, but because some shortcomings in surgery are not something one can just decide to correct.
It’s like practicing calligraphy; you clearly know a stroke wasn’t executed well. When you write it again, you will definitely pay attention. But it still doesn’t come out right.
That’s what’s often referred to as willing spirit but weak flesh.
Almost all skillful actions require hundreds and thousands of practices before they can improve.
It’s nearly impossible to instantly correct a mistake upon detecting it.
Such a genius is almost non-existent.
The best one can hope for is to get better with each try.
“Overall, the anastomosis was not bad. There are a number of places for improvement. For example, when it comes to continuous suturing, tighter is not always better. And, the initial position chosen for anastomosing the intestines should be carefully considered. In the case of this patient, personally I believe that starting the anastomosis from here would reduce the difficulty of your anastomosis and the chances of leakage…”
Director Jia’s level is very high.
The flaws he pointed out, Zhou Can was either inadequate or it was his first time performing an anastomosis, seriously lacking experience.
Others are mistakes that occur during the anastomosis process.
To achieve this result, it was almost his limit.
He memorized all the things he didn’t do well, and then silently reflected on them, determined to do better when performing similar intestinal end anastomosis the next time.
In fact, if he could correct the many flaws pointed out by Director Jia, the improvement wouldn’t be just in the intestinal end anastomosis, but in his overall anastomosis skill level.
“Who will close the cavity?”
Director Jia asked.
Zhou Can didn’t compete for the opportunity this time but silently stepped aside.
There is a measure to what should be done, and a scale to how one should behave.
If he took all the advantages for himself, that would be an absolute taboo.
On his first day in Digestive Surgery, he could potentially become the ‘enemy’ of several Associate Chief Physicians and Attending Physicians.
Sometimes, making enemies is not necessarily about having conflicts or disagreements with others, but also possibly about touching upon their interests.
The world of adults is dominated by interests.
If Zhou Can took all the surgical opportunities for himself, leaving others to stupidly watch by the side, and he’s just a newcomer, isn’t that outright asking for enmity?
“I’ll do it, I’ll do it!”
A Resident Doctor eagerly answered, his anxious demeanor seemed as if he was afraid that Zhou Can would snatch away another training opportunity, prompting laughter from others.
“Hehe, it seems Zhou Can’s arrival has indeed had a positive effect! At least you no longer act like delicate young ladies when fighting for surgical training opportunities.”
Director Jia was particularly pleased.
Previously when asking who wanted the chance to perform surgery, they were all hesitant, taking a long time before someone would step up.
Undeniably, the penalty measures he set were quite severe, but those were for everyone’s good.
When something goes wrong, everyone has to suffer.
Forty minutes later, the surgery concluded.
If Zhou Can had been the one to close the cavity, it would have finished at least twenty minutes earlier.
This Resident Doctor’s suturing skills were not bad, just too cautious.
Each stitch of suturing was like a mouse peeking out of a hole, unwilling to emerge until having carefully checked the surrounding area.
“Those who need to use the restroom, hurry up. Those who need to drink water, go ahead. In twenty minutes, we continue with the second surgery. It’s still an intestinal resection surgery, but the difficulty will be higher.”
After speaking, Director Jia left first.
The physical energy and bodily functions of the elderly are much worse compared to the young.
There is a tough battle ahead, he certainly needs to hurry to relieve himself and then replenish his bodily fluids.
“Junior Brother Zhou, I really didn’t see it coming, you are so impressive!”
Qiu Hong laughed and proactively spoke to Zhou Can.
During the surgery, Zhou Can’s displayed abilities truly shocked her.
“You flatter me, Senior Sister. I’m just a mediocre learner, with a ton of shortcomings. Thanks to Director Jia pointing them out, I feel like the gains have been quite significant.”
If Zhou Can admitted he was skilled, that would really reveal an extreme deficit in emotional intelligence.
The first rule to make others feel pleasant is humility.
“Hehe, you only have a few minor faults, while I can’t even get started. The Anastomosis technique is so hard to practice, how do you practice it? Teach me sometime!”
Qiu Hong’s smile was alluring, like a crescent moon.
Her actual purpose in starting the conversation was to seek advice from Zhou Can on practice methods for anastomosis.
The other two Resident Doctors also instinctively slowed down, pricking up their ears to eavesdrop.
Truthfully, they too were very eager to learn Zhou Can’s anastomosis practice method. Because Zhou Can’s anastomosis skills were quite incredible.
It has to be said, everyone has been practicing surgical skills on their own in private.
