Chapter 1052: Chapter 415: The More You Lack, the More You Flaunt; All Beginnings Are Hard

In the operating room, Zhou Can was desperately completing one surgery after another.

In the eyes of others, doing too many Level 1 and Level 2 surgeries can become dull, and they might gradually lose interest and want to challenge more difficult surgeries.

In reality, for ordinary surgeons, once they become proficient in Level 1 and Level 2 surgeries in a particular field, they are usually promoted to attending physician. At this point, they are qualified to start learning Level 3 surgeries and independently perform some high-difficulty Level 2 surgeries.

Zhou Can is different from these people.

In terms of surgical ability, he is now fully capable of independently completing most Level 3 surgeries. He can even attempt some Level 4 surgeries.

However, his seniority is still very low, and he is currently a junior resident doctor.

With his undergraduate education, it will take him several more years to become an attending physician.

Lack of a high academic degree is a significant drawback.

Whenever the opportunity arises, he will definitely find a way to improve his educational background as soon as possible.

No matter what, he cannot lose at the starting line.

Currently, his goal is very clear. By completing a large number of Level 1 and Level 2 surgeries in the Emergency Department, he aims to elevate all surgical skills to above the intermediate deputy director level. Ideally, he can improve the four basic surgical skills to the director level.

By then, his surgical team will have the ability to tackle tough challenges.

With the ability comes higher status as well.

With both ability and status, his academic improvement will also become easier. Moreover, the pathways for improvement can be expanded.

...

It was approaching one o’clock in the afternoon when Zhou Can and his team members went to the cafeteria to eat. There was no choice; the last surgery was a Level 3 operation that took eighty-two minutes.

Almost an hour and a half.

When encountering such a difficult Level 3 surgery, Zhou Can dared not be careless.

No matter how busy Dr. Xu is, as long as Zhou Can is performing a Level 3 surgery, he will stay by his side.

He’s definitely afraid of something going wrong!

If anything were to happen, Dr. Xu, already in a precarious position, might not be able to handle it.

"Dr. Zhou, our Tuya Hospital’s Cardiothoracic Surgery department is famous now!"

Ma Xiaolan said while scrolling through her phone as she ate.

"How did it become famous?"

Zhou Can asked.

Earlier on the way here, he vaguely heard some medical staff discussing that there was a family causing a commotion in Tuya Hospital’s Cardiothoracic Surgery department.

"Look, this is a video taken by a netizen. Our hospital’s Cardiothoracic Surgery department caused a patient’s death, and the family is carrying the body to the inpatient department demanding an explanation."

Zhou Can leaned over to take a look, and it indeed was so!

The video showed the inpatient department of Tuya Hospital’s Cardiothoracic Surgery.

The hospital’s Security Department and Medical Department were all deployed.

Xin Wanshan, the head of the Medical Department, was seen with his big belly, leading people to persuade the family, and this was also captured by a netizen.

Director Xue Yan did not appear.

It makes sense; for such negative news, the hospital would certainly protect her by not allowing direct contact with the family.

Almost every hospital, when facing negative news, will cautiously handle it.

Either sacrifice the doctor’s interests, apologize, and even compensate the family with a large sum to quiet the issue, or the hospital stands by, fully protecting the involved doctor.

Generally, the doctors worth such protection from the hospital have great potential, at least attending level or above.

For example, a future successor in a discipline, or a high-profile department director like Director Xue.

As long as the high-level of Tuya Hospital is sensible, they will fully protect her.

Otherwise, the Cardiothoracic Surgery department at Tuya would collapse like a snowy mountain.

It could even affect the entire hospital’s operations and development.

This is not an exaggeration.

In this information-rich era, there are multiple cases where a poorly-handled medical dispute leads to a hospital’s reputation, operations, credibility, and status taking devastating hits.

Therefore, Zhou Can is not worried about Director Xue Yan’s personal safety at all.

What needs to be guarded against are the potential attacks from competing hospitals.

Even in personal relationships, interests often come first, let alone a large unit like a hospital.

The online video Ma Xiaolan found clearly has an invisible hand pushing from behind.

That patient died on the operating table yesterday, and there was no commotion at the time, but they chose this morning to carry the body to the hospital to make a scene, demanding justice for the deceased.

Imagine, the news from the morning started spreading online by noon.

Without a manipulative hand behind it, how could it spread so quickly?

These days, there are many cases where hospitals cause patient deaths, but the ones that make it to the trending search are rare. Not to mention trending, even those with significant impact are very few.

Zhou Can retrieved his phone and sent a message to Director Xue Yan.

"Sister Yan, please keep calm, let the family make their scene if they want. When one is upright, shadows will not tilt, and as long as the procedures and operations are all correct, the court will rule in favor of the hospital. From my perspective, it’s just the competitors trying to disgust us."

After all, she is a woman, and despite being over forty, in such situations, she is prone to making some irrational decisions.

This is a common issue among women.

In fields like politics and business, which test personal ability and mental resilience extremely, the proportion of women is much lower than men.

Many big bosses are men, and many politicians are men.

There are women, but the proportion is very small.

"Understood! I’m currently arranging tomorrow’s surgeries for the department."

Her response reassured Zhou Can.
