Chapter 233 -128 Director Shen’s Advice, Growth in Orthopedics_3

Zhou Can’s current level of expertise with the quick knife technique is merely at the threshold.

Far from achieving even a small success.

He also made an agreement with Dr. Xu that he would first practice and give it a try.

If Zhou Can found it unsuitable, or the risks were too high, he could always give up when faced with choosing a main focus.

“You just need to take it in. Through understanding and observing over the past two days, I have gained a preliminary understanding of your ability. From now on, as long as I have a surgery scheduled, you can join Dr. Shan in participating. If you encounter any medical problems you do not understand, as long as it is within orthopedics, feel free to ask me anytime. However, let me be clear upfront, my expertise is more in bone trauma and some microsurgery. I’m not as proficient in joint surgery, spinal surgery, bone disease specialty, and foot and ankle surgery.”

Each doctor has their own specialty.

Director Shen’s specialty is in bone trauma.

“Thank you for nurturing me!”

Zhou Can bowed deeply.

Director Shen waved his hand, “I’m pragmatic; unnecessary formalities should be avoided. Let’s all make time to eat.”

With today’s surgery, Zhou Can’s status in this group has essentially been established.

In name, he is a rotational trainee, but his actual status is nearly equivalent to that of an attending physician.

This is obvious from the two special considerations Director Shen just offered him.

As long as Director Shen has a surgery, Zhou Can is allowed to participate.

He can consult with him on any medical difficulties at any time.

These privileges are typically enjoyed only by two outstanding attending physicians.

In the following days, Zhou Can started to mix in with Dr. Shan day by day.

Director Shen does not have a set surgery schedule.

He only takes time out for the operating room when there are Level 3 or Level 4 bone trauma surgeries.

Whenever he leads a surgery, Dr. Shan will certainly bring Zhou Can along to participate.

Zhou Can especially enjoyed participating in surgeries with Director Shen.

Because he was indeed able to learn a great deal of advanced surgical knowledge and skills — core techniques that are difficult for ordinary people to learn.

Also, there were plenty of opportunities for hands-on experience during Director Shen’s surgeries.

Zhou Can would occasionally get a chance.

His orthopedic surgical skills improved daily. He gradually gained a more systematic and comprehensive understanding of orthopedic diseases.

Today, Dr. Shan performed another femoral head bone grafting surgery on a patient.

But it was simpler than last time.

This time, there was no need to take a bone flap with a blood pedicle. It only required drilling holes directly in the femoral head, filling in with bone chips, reducing the intraosseous pressure, and promoting the recovery of blood flow to the necrotic femoral head.

“Dr. Shan, could I try my hand at filling in the bone?”

Zhou Can was now very familiar with Dr. Shan, Dr. Tang, and others.

Inside their small team, he held a rather good status.

He managed to take on many important surgical tasks.

He was also gradually breaking the Quality Control Department’s ban, which only allowed him to perform Level 1 surgeries.

These matters generally fall under the principle of “if the people do not report, officials do not investigate.”

Zhou Can truly had the surgical capability, and the senior physicians trusted him enough. Scoring training opportunities was his own skill.

Theoretically speaking, even if he participated in Level 4 surgeries, he wouldn’t be breaking any laws.

The Quality Control Department making a big deal out of it, insisting on discussing surgery quality and safety, and not allowing him to partake in surgeries above Level 1 was purely malicious suppression.

But there were no other options; the Emergency Department had limited influence, and he himself lacked the power to contend against someone as formidable as Director Xie.

“This bone grafting procedure has lower risks and less technical demand, you can operate! I will guide you at your side.”

She yielded her position.

Zhou Can was overjoyed; his decision to stick with Dr. Shan had paid off.

In her surgeries, he often managed to get tasks involving surgeries with higher risk factors.

Such tasks included the separation of vessels and nerves, the rejoining of broken bones, internal fracture fixation, and more.

As he filled in the bone chips.

Just finished.

[Congratulations, you have acquired the Bone Grafting Technique. You can transplant bone flaps and skeleton to specified locations. This technique can repair incomplete bones and also save necrotic bones, helping them to regain blood supply.]

[Bone Grafting Technique, current experience points Level 1, 1/10, failing intern level.]

Looking at this newly acquired orthopedic technique, Zhou Can felt very satisfied.

Now, he has learned all four basic orthopedic techniques of the bone trauma department.

By continuously improving them, he could become a qualified orthopedic surgeon.

As for other more advanced orthopedic techniques, he could only wait patiently for the right opportunity.

…

Time flew quickly, and without realizing it, he had been interning in orthopedics for over two months.

His understanding of orthopedic treatment deepened further.

He discovered that orthopedics and neurosurgery are like twins.

Many orthopedic diseases are like siblings to neurological diseases. In major surgeries, Director Shen couldn’t complete them alone; he had to invite neurosurgeons for joint operations.

Zhou Can’s development in orthopedics was quite impressive.

All four basic orthopedic techniques had seen a leap in improvement.

Including the difficult-to-improve Bone Grafting Technique, which he had now upgraded to Level 2, below-average rotational training level.

In over two months, he participated in approximately forty bone grafting surgeries in total.

It’s a reasonable amount.

However, about one-third of these surgeries required bone flaps with a blood pedicle. These higher difficulty surgeries were generally personally performed by Dr. Shan.

The chance for Zhou Can to practice was with the bone grafting surgeries that did not involve blood pedicles.

Then there were also two other resident doctors and two rotational trainees under Dr. Shan— it was impossible to give all the training opportunities to Zhou Can.

On average, it was quite excellent for him to have gotten sixteen chances at bone grafting surgeries in over two months.

From initially filling in bone chips, to later learning to take points, drilling holes, and completing the whole bone grafting procedure.

For him, this was a period of very rapid growth.

Currently, of the four basic orthopedic techniques, the Bone Grafting Technique had the lowest experience points.

The External Fracture Fixation Technique was now at Level 3, lower resident doctor level.

This was thanks to his diligence.

After shifts, he would rush to the inpatient wards to drum up business.

If someone needed a plaster cast, he would enthusiastically volunteer.

Over more than two months, he completed external fracture fixation treatment for over one hundred and seventy patients.
