Chapter 1126: Chapter 444: High-Efficiency Surgical Service—Watch Closely
But the more she is this type of person, the thicker her skin becomes beyond your imagination.
"May I ask who you are?"
Zhou Can looked at the woman with a face full of ’confusion’.
Aren’t you the shameless one? I’ll play along with you today and be shameless too.
The woman was instantly ’excited’; she had anticipated Zhou Can would refuse, but never expected him to respond like this.
She instinctively scrutinized Zhou Can, realizing he indeed seemed genuinely confused, as if he truly didn’t recognize her.
The woman awkwardly explained, "I brought my son to see you this morning. My son broke his left hand, and you asked us to get a brain CT to check for any intracranial bleeding. I didn’t agree and even scolded you. Do you remember?"
The woman had to patiently explain to Zhou Can.
She thought, it was normal for a doctor who sees many patients in a day to forget her.
Adding to that, her son wasn’t beside her, and after a day’s commotion, she was disheveled and haggard. It made it even harder for Zhou Can to recognize her.
"Oh... I have a slight impression! I’m rushing to start my night shift; sorry! As for scolding me, it’s nothing. It’s common for some family members to scold us, and we’re used to it."
After Zhou Can finished speaking, he turned around and left immediately.
Leaving the woman behind, watching him walk away, her mouth opened several times, unable to call him back.
Zhou Can made it entirely clear with his attitude and expression that he wasn’t familiar with her and had no impression of her, naturally blocking her intention of asking for his help.
For such matters, whether it’s doctors or nurses, if they can avoid it, they will. No one wants trouble.
Entering the operating room, several patients waiting for surgery were already lining up in the corridor outside.
Considering the need for anesthesia, many surgical patients are required to fast and abstain from water.
The general fasting requirement for surgery is about eight hours.
Children digest faster than adults, so sometimes the standards can be slightly relaxed. There are two main reasons for fasting before surgery.
First, to prevent vomiting after general anesthesia, which could lead to food entering the airway, causing choking and death. Second, to prevent patients from defecating involuntarily on the operating table.
Involuntary defecation on the operating table is a relatively common phenomenon.
This not only pollutes the operating room but also makes the medical staff feel nauseated.
During night shifts, some patients received in the morning fulfill the fasting requirement after eight hours, leading to more general anesthesia surgeries than usual.
With Zhou Can’s team’s digestive capacity taken into consideration, the department makes a reasonable arrangement for the patients reserved for him.
It’s impossible to have several Level 3 major surgeries lined up.
"Dr. Zhou, I really came!"
A tall, thin man had been waiting at the entrance of the operating room for a long time, and upon seeing Zhou Can approaching, he immediately stepped forward.
"Welcome, welcome! Let’s go in together!"
Zhou Can didn’t expect that after chatting with Doctor Yang from anorectal surgery yesterday, he would indeed come to help today.
This is preparing to accept Zhou Can’s assessment.
Leading Yang Zhi into the operating room, Zhou Can temporarily didn’t see Dr. Xu. He was probably out eating.
Zhou Can is fully qualified to perform some minor surgeries without a supervising doctor present.
"Huh, the boss brought an assistant!"
Luo Shishen was a bit stunned when he saw Zhou Can bringing in a male doctor together into the operating room.
"Aren’t you... the one from yesterday?" Ma Xiaolan, with her keen eyes, recognized Yang Zhi.
"Haha, didn’t expect the beauty to have such a good memory. I want to join Dr. Zhou’s surgical team, and today I specially came to accept his assessment."
Yang Zhi spoke straightforwardly and boldly, without any pretense, which left a favorable impression on Zhou Can.
"This is Yang Zhi, a surgical doctor from our hospital. During the surgery, I’ll assign him some tasks. Xiaolan, can you temporarily act as his surgical nurse?"
Zhou Can asked Ma Xiaolan.
"No problem! But let’s be clear first, I’ve only been learning for less than a year, so if I’m clumsy, Doctor Yang mustn’t scold me."
Ma Xiaolan said half-jokingly.
Unknowingly, she’s been in Zhou Can’s surgical team for almost a year. From being arrogant, flaunting before senior Qiao Yu, to being honest and humble after being reprimanded by Zhou Can.
Although there are still some shortcomings, her work attitude and learning attitude both satisfy Zhou Can.
Of course, her progress is visible.
Moreover, following Zhou Can, because of the enormous monthly surgical workload, her salary and bonuses are quite hefty.
There’s no denying that the amount of salary has a significant impact on a person’s demeanor and mentality.
Ma Xiaolan is the most typical example of this.
She is now noticeably more humble than before, and her confidence is genuinely from within.
This type of intrinsic confidence is far superior to her former mindless arrogance.
"Start preparing! I see a lot of patients waiting for surgery in the corridor outside the operating room. We need to hurry."
Zhou Can issued the command to start operations.
This also means the intense work is about to begin.
It’s a frequent scene to see many surgical patients lined up outside the emergency room, something hard to see in any other department.
Perhaps only in the specialized outpatient surgery rooms will you find such a scene.
