Chapter 1053: Chapter 415: The More You Lack, the More You Show Off; All Beginnings Are Difficult (2)

In this situation, being able to calmly arrange tomorrow’s surgery shows that she wasn’t greatly disturbed.

When a person is knocked down and stands up again, they only become stronger than before.

This is a form of growth.

Zhou Can patiently counseled her in the morning, giving her encouragement and support, helping her stand up again. Now it seems she is very stable.

External forces should no longer attempt to easily knock her down.

If the body is not in pain, the blessings are not profound. If the heart is not in pain, wisdom does not open.

Last night’s despair, regret, and self-blame; she must have thought a lot and understood many truths. This is her growth.

If the heart does not die, the way does not arise.

She belongs to those whose hearts have died once.

Now, even if she hasn’t realized her own path, she has touched the threshold of the path.

"The field of cardiothoracic surgery has been really lively lately. Here’s a fresh news, the Third Hospital’s Japanese expert Sagakasangmu led a surgical team to successfully complete a Senning operation..."

Qiao Yu also stumbled upon a news piece.

Everyone focuses on different content and receives different news every day.

For instance, Douyin uses big data algorithms to push similar content based on each person’s preferences.

Qiao Yu is intent on studying abroad, paying more attention to foreign medical experts. She was the first to come across news about the Japanese expert at the Third Hospital.

"We used to perform many complete transposition complex ventricular septal surgeries at our hospital. Even highly challenging cases were successfully completed under Director Hu Kan’s leadership. As for the Third Hospital, it’s like when there’s no tiger in the mountain, a monkey becomes the king. The complexity of this surgery they completed is indeed high, but compared to Director Hu’s achievements, it’s far from impressive. Turns out, that Japanese expert isn’t as formidable as imagined!"

Zhou Can glanced at the news and ended up thinking less of the so-called Japanese heart surgery expert.

Initially, it seemed the Third Hospital spent a fortune to recruit a god-tier talent, but now it seems at most they are a silver-tier minor god.

There’s a saying, the more you lack something, the more you want to show it off.

The surgical case that the Japanese expert takes pride in isn’t as advanced as imagined, reflecting the true capability of Sagakasangmu.

Of course, it’s too early to draw conclusions now.

Perhaps they have other specialties.

At least from the current standpoint, just give Zhou Can two years, he is confident enough to stand toe to toe with this Japanese expert.

Give him three years, he might even outshine the Japanese heart surgery expert.

After the meal, back in the operating room, Zhou Can became more focused on his surgeries. He places great emphasis on accumulating surgical skills. He firmly believes that even if he performs a vast number of Level 1 and Level 2 surgeries daily, once he completes ten thousand, even over one hundred thousand, he will become an absolute luminary in the field of surgery.

...

After work in the evening, it was already past eight.

Today, he led his surgical team to complete twenty-three Level 1 and Level 2 surgeries, and three Level 3 surgeries.

Around six, nearing the end of the workday, he chose not to relax. Instead, he and his team members took a short break and performed another Level 3 surgery.

And it was quite a challenging Level 3 surgery.

It took over two hours.

After surgery, following the usual practice, Zhou Can ordered a meal to treat everyone.

With strong financial backing, he can easily offer some small perks to strengthen the cohesion of the entire surgical team.

The last Level 3 surgery performed today made Zhou Can realize two issues that need to be addressed.

The first issue is that the operating room is rudimentary and outdated, preventing many strictly demanding Level 3 surgeries from being performed. If it could be upgraded to a hundred-level laminar flow operating room, this problem would disappear.

For now, he hopes to perform more routine surgeries daily to increase the Emergency Department’s clout so that Director Lou can expedite the establishment of the new operating room.

The other issue is that Luo Shishen, under his training, can now assist with several tasks.

However, he remains lacking in experience, skills, and medical knowledge, all of which are at an intern level. He can manage tasks like temporarily sanitizing the patient’s skin, holding retractors during surgery, or suctioning pus.

For more advanced tasks such as intraoperative hemostasis, emergency responses during surgery, or wound suturing, he can mostly only watch.

When tasked with suturing a wound, he takes a good half an hour, and critically, the suturing looks like it’s been chewed by a dog.

The wound edges aren’t aligned properly, and the suturing isn’t tight.

With such a level, how could Zhou Can dare to let him do the suturing?

Even if the surgery is successful, poor wound suturing could lead to difficult healing, post-healing scar proliferation, or even an infected abscess.

The patient’s treatment experience would be extremely poor.

This would directly result in no return patients and drive away a flock of potential patients.

Moreover, Zhou Can needs to perform as many as twenty to thirty surgeries daily; if suturing a wound takes an hour, how would he get any work done that day?

During emergencies, Luo Shishen can’t provide any useful advice.

Without even a colleague to confer with, this lone ranger style surgical team isn’t what Zhou Can wants.

If his subordinate doctors possessed a certain level of competence, akin to the teams of other chief surgeons, the lead surgeon would only need to handle the most critical parts of a surgery. The rest of the team would have clear roles, work harmoniously, and when necessary, even provide the lead surgeon with good diagnostic and treatment recommendations.

This is the team that Zhou Can envisions building.
