My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 314 - 156 Snakes Never Know Their Own Venom, Deputy Director Level Medical Skills

Chapter 314 -156 Snakes Never Know Their Own Venom, Deputy Director Level Medical Skills

“Old Wen, I’m not trying to criticize you. Everything else is fine, it’s just that you handle things too conservatively. Hesitation invites trouble. Think it through carefully. If the Emergency Department really seizes the opportunity to grow, given its inherent advantage, it could intercept all patients it’s capable of treating and deal with them directly. By then, the number of surgeries in the surgical department will shrink step by step, and everyone’s income will be severely impacted. You’ll become the sinner of the surgery department.”

Director Xie tried his best to persuade his old classmate.

Hoping that Director Wen would cooperate and join him in suppressing Zhou Can.

Such matters were not meant for public knowledge, and forcibly ordering Director Wen would not work at all.

Touching his heart with sentiment and convincing him with reason, doing good ideological work, was the only way.

“Humph! Even if I really become the sinner of the surgery department, it’s still better than being the sinner of Tuya Hospital or even the medical community of China. Not to mention whether you can suppress a talent like Zhou Can or not, even if you really hinder his development in the surgical field, do you think your so-called narrow interests are worth it?”

Director Wen’s face was ice cold.

Had it not been out of respect for an old classmate, he might have already stood up to see them out.

“This…”

Director Xie was at a loss for words.

Compared to the interests of the surgical department, the interests of Tuya Hospital and the medical community of China were naturally greater.

Zhou Can was so outstanding that as long as he grew up, he could definitely bring huge benefits to Tuya Hospital. He would make great contributions to the medical community of China, and even to the world.

“Think about it, after Zhou Can becomes a new generation of renowned doctor, the stronger his abilities are, the more patients will come because of his reputation. It could even create a siphoning effect, directly elevating Tuya’s fame to new heights. By then, the number of diagnoses and treatments in surgery won’t shrink but increase instead.”

Director Wen’s thinking was far beyond Director Xie’s.

At least in this matter, Director Xie was far inferior to him. freeweɓnovel.cøm

“I, I can’t argue with you! Anyway, just one word, if we can’t get him to join the surgical department, do you agree to suppress him?”

Director Xie argued with him, and was completely defeated.

Out of embarrassment, he directly used the position of senior director, as well as old friendship, to press Director Wen to agree.

Wu Baihe clearly didn’t want to get involved in this dispute.

Sitting by the side, he quietly sipped tea, remaining silent.

“Is there even a need to ask? Of course, I won’t agree! If you want to be the sinner of Tuya, that’s your freedom. I won’t be manipulated by you. Whether Zhou Can agrees to join the surgical department or not, I will fully train him, teach him everything I can. This is my freedom, and you can’t stop me.”

Director Wen’s stubbornness reared its head; no nine oxen could pull him back.

The two locked eyes, their gazes fiercely clashing.

“Old Wen, considering our classmate friendship, decades of relationship, there’s no room for discussion on this?”

Director Xie’s tone softened a lot.

“There is absolutely no room for negotiation. Whether it’s Zhou Can or any other talented individuals I come across in the future, I will train them to the best of my ability. As an old classmate for decades, I have to advise you, if personal interest prevails over organizational interest, even over national interest, it will surely bring disaster to you.”

Director Wen replied categorically.

“Do you know why I seldom come to visit you after you become a senior director? Because you’ve changed; what you pursue is no longer medical skill, but departmental interest. You give me the feeling not of a doctor but of a profit-seeking businessman.”

This criticism was really harsh.

Straight to the point, it struck deep into Director Xie’s heart.

“It’s not that I’ve changed, it’s that you don’t understand my difficulty. In my position, I must act politically. I have to be responsible for all the medical staff in the surgical department. You and I, as well as Director Wu, in addition to receiving a salary from the hospital, have other sources of income, such as teaching, lecturing, and visiting other hospitals. But what about the doctors below us? They rely on the little salary they earn from the hospital to support their families.”

Director Xie became emotional as he spoke, his eyes reddening and his voice breaking several times.

“Ah… never mind, you won’t understand anyway. If Zhou Can can be recruited, then we should try. I’m leaving!”

Director Xie, feeling dispirited, waved his hand and left the office dejectedly.

The argument with his old classmate had made a strong impact on his heart.

He definitely needed to be alone quietly and think things through.

In the world, there are no absolute rights or wrongs; positions and starting points vary among individuals, eventually creating opposition.

If one must evaluate, perhaps good morals and customs are the best criteria.

Just as a mouse never thinks that what it eats is stolen, and a snake does not realize it is poisonous.

If thoughts aren’t on the same level, no one can convince the other.

Values are different; it’s just a matter of perspectives.

…

In the following days, Zhou Can continued to follow Director Wen in surgeries and consultations, everything proceeded as usual.

Director Xie’s wish for Director Wen to suppress Zhou Can never came to fruition.

After getting numerous opportunities for surgical practice, Zhou Can’s endoscopic surgery skills improved by leaps and bounds. His anastomosis skill, in particular, reached the Chief Level so that he had no weak points.

The surgeries he performed were of high quality.

However, because his surgical skills were all at the Chief Level, there were some extremely difficult operations he dared not touch.

Those super difficult surgeries were basically handled by the surgical team led by Wu Baihe.

Wu Baihe’s skills were unquestionable, including his deputy directors who were also very strong.

As the mainstay of Neurosurgery, Wu Baihe skillfully completed one highly difficult neurosurgery after another.

Chief Level surgical skills could smoothly handle medium to high difficulty tasks like anastomosis, excision, and separation, but for some extremely delicate operations, Zhou Can felt his powerlessness.

That feeling of inadequacy made him long to reach a higher level of medical skill.

Apart from the rapid improvement in his surgical skills, Zhou Can also gained a lot of experience in pathological diagnosis. Every day, a large number of new cases appeared in the group, and he would read these cases, gaining 1 Experience Point in pathological diagnosis for each correct diagnosis.

In the past two months, he has gained more than four hundred pathology diagnosis experience points.

Currently, his pathological diagnostic skills are at a resident doctor’s intermediate level.

It’s a pity that his standardized neurosurgery training is about to end.

Otherwise, if he could stay for another two months, his pathology diagnosis skills would certainly be promoted to the chief level.

…

Inside the operating room, Zhou Can and Director Wen, along with others, completed a trigeminal neurotomy.

The surgery went quite smoothly.

Only the skin closure was left to do.

The surgical approach they chose was a suboccipital entry, which is simple and direct for surgeries in this area.

“Director Wen, may I do the skin closure?” Zhou Can requested.

“Don’t hog all the training opportunities for yourself, Dr. Zhou!” several resident doctors complained.

“My neurosurgery standard training is about to end; even if I were to compete with you, it wouldn’t be more than twice,” Zhou Can responded with a smile.

There was no need to compete so earnestly with the resident doctors for the opportunity to practice closing the skin.

The main reason was that both his suturing and ligation skills were just a dozen or so experience points away from advancing to Level 5.

Moreover, with the end of his neurosurgery training drawing near, he wanted to push and promote both skills to Level 5 before leaving.

Level 5 signifies a deputy director’s level of medical skill.

He was also eager to experience what a deputy director’s level of surgical skill felt like.

“You guys should stop competing with Zhou Can; you’ll have plenty of chances to close skin in the future,” Director Wen intervened.

Usually, when Zhou Can asked for an opportunity to practice, Director Wen would favor him.

There was a certain self-interest in Director Wen’s actions.

Two months was a short time to get to know each other.

So, by establishing a good rapport, it would be easier to invite Zhou Can to join the neurosurgery team once his standard training was over.

How could one make such an invitation without having established a friendship?

“Fine, fine!”

“We were just joking with Dr. Zhou,” some resident doctors said after hearing this and promptly gave up.

No one contended with Zhou Can for the chance to close the skin anymore.

Zhou Can, not standing on ceremony, took the needle holder and tweezers handed to him by the scrub nurse, and began suturing the patient’s wound.

With every stitch he sutured, he gained 1 point in suturing experience and 1 point in ligation experience.

One stitch, two stitches, three…

[Congratulations on advancing your Suturing Skill to Level 5, current experience points 1/100000, deputy director junior level.]

To advance to Level 6, he needed a whopping 100,000 experience points.

That was quite frightening.

But it was understandable; it isn’t easy to reach a director level medical standard.

Many people never reach the level of a director in their whole lives.

He decided to use his newly advanced Level 5 suturing skill to finish suturing the rest of the wound for the patient.

Choosing the needle entry point, piercing in, coming out, and tying off, the entire process felt divinely assisted. It was hard to express, but it seemed as though his every motion, including his thinking, had become a natural instinct.

There was a feeling of returning to simplicity and essence.

Before the promotion, when suturing, his first step was to find the right needle entry point. Now, there was no need to look, his hand naturally and instinctively pierced through the skin and then came out.

It seemed there was no need for thought or searching, nor for any confirmation.

It had completely become an instinct.

Where to enter the needle, from which part to come out, and how to tie off and tighten, all became instinctual.

At the same time, he found that whether entering with the needle, piercing, coming out, or even when tightening, there was practically no traction on the wound’s skin throughout the whole suturing process.

It was akin to the traction exerted by the gentlest breeze.

Very delicate.

Key is, his speed wasn’t slow at all, even a bit faster than before.

Is this the deputy director level’s suturing technique?

Simply amazing.

It turned out that advancing from Level 4 chief level to Level 5 deputy director level, there wasn’t any shocking and earth-shattering changes. Instead, all actions became instinctual, just like blinking and opening your eyes naturally.

There was no need for complicated thoughts from the brain, and no need to be overly cautious.

Because even the most difficult suturing actions have now become ordinary and mundane.
