My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1087: Chapter 428: Qiao Yu’s Small Wish, Hidden Risks in the Emergency Surgery Team (Part 2)

"You guys, as long as you follow me for surgeries, the overtime meal and late-night snack expenses are all on me."

Zhou Can also made a generous statement.

The cost of a meal is no big deal to him. But for these few subordinates, it helps them a lot.

Even if a dinner costs fifteen yuan, they can save four hundred and fifty yuan a month.

In fact, Zhou Can’s meal ordering is usually in the range of twenty-five to forty yuan.

"I heard the approval process for the new operating room is already underway, is that true?"

Qiao Yu asked Zhou Can.

"It should be reliable. But as for when exactly this thing will be settled, it’s hard to say. Are you eager to work in the new operating room?"

Zhou Can looked into her eyes.

"Not really, I just think the laminar flow operating room has a better environment. Things like hygiene and sterilization are more convenient too. If we can really work in a class 100 laminar flow operating room, Xiaolan and I can skip a lot of sterilization work."

She brushed her bangs aside and answered like this.

"Let’s not rush this, as long as we work hard quietly and maintain the current high income, I believe the hospital’s senior management won’t keep stalling indefinitely." Zhou Can comforted her.

Qiao Yu and Ma Xiaolan have a huge workload and it is indeed tough.

Especially since Zhou Can does twenty to thirty surgeries every day.

"I’m not in a rush, just casually asking. Actually, being able to do surgery with you, I really don’t care about what kind of operating room it is."

Qiao Yu, known for speaking faster than thinking, explained casually.

After saying it, she realized it was somewhat inappropriate.

After all, Zhou Can has a girlfriend, and she knows that Zhou Can and Su Qianqian are very much in love.

She quickly lowered her head, her face blushing, with a hint of panic.

There has always been a certain unspoken understanding between her and Zhou Can, and they have never pierced that window paper.

She inadvertently revealed her true feelings just now, and she knew that with Zhou Can’s intelligence, he could certainly hear her feelings. She worries very much that Zhou Can might distance himself from her from now on.

Ma Xiaolan and Luo Shishen exchanged a glance, both with an enigmatic expression.

But neither of them made a sound.

"Hurry and eat, or it’ll get cold!"

Zhou Can handed a lunch box to Qiao Yu, opened his own bag, took out the food, and buried himself in eating.

The whole eating atmosphere was a little stifling.

Qiao Yu’s face remained flushed the whole time.

She peeked at Zhou Can twice, seeing that he didn’t say much, she felt a bit relieved.

"I’m done eating, you guys take your time! I’ll go check the ward first, wondering if the maggot therapy I used has worked?"

After saying this, Zhou Can left straightaway.

As soon as he left, the somewhat stifling atmosphere relaxed a lot.

You could hear Ma Xiaolan teasingly laughing at Qiao Yu.

Zhou Can arrived at the inpatient ward and headed straight to the patient with the rotting leg.

"Hi, Dr. Zhou!"

A stunning beauty was unexpectedly by the patient’s bedside, it was none other than Journalist Mu Qin.

She cheerfully waved at Zhou Can.

"Why is Journalist Mu here?"

Zhou Can’s face looked a bit displeased.

As a rule, journalists aren’t allowed easy access in the hospital, let alone interviewing randomly.

"Hey, you’re not planning to burn bridges, are you? I helped you quite a bit, you know. Even if there’s no merit, there’s effort, right? Besides, using maggots for treating rotting burn wounds is something I’ve never heard of! It’s especially intriguing. I’m also very much looking forward to seeing this big guy under your excellent medical skills make a speedy recovery and be discharged soon."

Mu Qin directly teased him in front of the patient and others.

It made Zhou Can quite awkward.

He tried to keep it from the family that he had invited the journalist to help the girl.

Now, with her blabbing away, it’s out of his hands.

"Our hospital has regulations for interviews. You need to get approval from the hospital’s Medical Department or the Public Relations Department first," Zhou Can said, frowning.

"Hmph, just know you guys are always heartless. Fortunately, I’ve obtained permission from your hospital’s Public Relations Department, so you don’t need to worry about this!"

Mu Qin was the trickiest woman Zhou Can had ever encountered.

This time, it was indeed Zhou Can who invited her, and now it’s proving difficult to send her away.

It’s baffling how the hospital actually allowed her to interview here.

Aren’t they afraid of something going wrong?

No matter how dissatisfied he was, Zhou Can could only accept it.

Journalists have the right to interview, and with the hospital’s approval, he really had no reason to stop her.

Ignoring Mu Qin, he walked up to the patient’s bed and asked, "How are you feeling? Can you endure the maggots’ biting?"

"Rest assured, I can endure it. As long as I can save this leg and my life, this bit of pain is nothing. But at first, it was indeed a bit hard to get used to. Just felt a bit creepy inside."

The patient knew Zhou Can was his attending physician, so he was very polite to Zhou Can.

Including the patient’s wife, who now greeted him with a smiling face, showing flattery.

But don’t naively think the patient and family became more reasonable. If the patient’s condition worsens, they would turn on you faster than flipping a page in a book.

"If there’s anything uncomfortable, be sure to tell the duty doctor or nurse promptly. I mainly work in the operating room and only have time to check on your condition after surgery. If there are any early warning signs, we must intervene and handle them promptly. Just inform the duty medical staff, and they will notify me immediately."

Zhou Can glanced at the leftovers of the patient’s meal, the food wasn’t bad.

They probably thought that since someone else was covering all the expenses, they indulged themselves.

The troublesome girl wasn’t seen for the moment.

It’s possible that with Mu Qin’s involvement, she was temporarily freed from the family’s intimidation and control.

This is something quite comforting.

"Come, let me check your wound."

Zhou Can carefully unveiled the thin gauze covering the wound, revealing wriggling maggots diligently devouring the dead flesh. The situation was clearly better than before treatment. The rotten tissue was almost invisible in some places.

"Hmm, looks much better."

Zhou Can nodded with satisfaction.

But then, journalist Mu Qin took the opportunity to capture several shots with her camera.

Zhou Can was certainly unhappy about this.

"Don’t pull such a face; the outcome in the shots will be terrible. At that point, people will see you with a fierce face, which could ruin your image."

Mu Qin warned him.

Zhou Can had no choice but to take a deep breath and adjust his expression.

This lady reporter really was someone not to be provoked.

He carefully wrapped the patient again and adjusted the medical orders.

Since this was the first time using this method on a patient, he was concerned about any unexpected incidents. So, he didn’t issue long-term orders.

Without medical orders received at the nurse’s station, they couldn’t medicate the patient.

If it were in other departments, especially surgical ones, the more experienced nurses would have called and scolded him already.

"Dr. Zhou, why hasn’t the patient in the certain bed received any medical orders yet? Hurry up."

Now back in the Emergency Department, the nurses recognized he was very busy, plus he got along well with most of the nurses. Everybody just gave him maximum understanding and tolerance.

After taking care of this patient, Zhou Can checked on the other patients in the ward as well.

One patient’s condition was unusual.

The patient had an abdominal injury, having been stabbed. After being rushed to ER, Dr. Lu performed debridement and suturing. Currently, the patient was experiencing abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and was running a fever.

The ER ward temporarily housed mostly surgical patients.

But surgeries aren’t only performed by Zhou Can; several surgical doctors are qualified to lead surgeries. Of course, Dr. Lu can only preside over Level 1 and Level 2 surgeries.

This patient with an abdominal stab wound, albeit not severe, shouldn’t have been handed to Dr. Lu.

Because Dr. Lu is quite careless in his work.

It’s said that it’s easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one’s nature.

Dr. Lu, trying not to be ousted from the ER, put forth considerable effort, and his surgical skills indeed improved a lot.

But his sloppy work and disregard for patient wellbeing were not fully remedied.
