My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1129 - 445: Ganglion Cyst, Recruiting a Deputy Chief (Part 2)

Zhou Can performed surgery while teaching related surgical contraindications and knowledge.

These were accumulated by him bit by bit, continually comprehending in practice, plus the teachings of his mentors and his own extensive reading, which built his current capability.

When he mentioned dead bone, he deliberately used the term bad bone, which is a common practice in the operating room.

Try to avoid using words like death, cancer, doomed.

Not only are they unlucky, but hearing them can easily cause panic in patients.

After cutting open the sticky bone membrane and flipping the bone membrane flap, the dead bone was exposed.

This surgical method is only suitable for small pieces of dead bone.

If the lesion scope is large, it is necessary to expose the dead bone through a conventional incision approach.

After exposing the dead bone, the dead bone is released along its edge.

Soon, under Zhou Can's skillful techniques, the dead bone was successfully removed.

Don't think the surgery is finished at this step, it's far from over.

"After removing the bad bone, you should thoroughly scrape the granulation tissue at the edges and the small surrounding bad bone fragments. It is essential to clean the lesion thoroughly to avoid a second surgery."

Zhou Can's surgical speed is remarkably rapid.

After completing the scraping, he took the iodoform gauze drainage strips that Qiao Yu had prepared and packed them into the bone cavity.

"Doctor Yang, can you handle the suturing?"

Suturing inside the mouth is definitely more challenging than facial suturing. The requirements for suturing are also higher.

Zhou Can, confident in his skills, directly handed the remaining suturing task to Yang Zhi.

According to his thinking, Yang Zhi has been working in the operating room for six years, and if he lacks this suturing ability, it means he has been idling away his time.

Because suturing can be practiced not only on patients in the operating room but also at home using pigskin or cloth.

It might sound a bit cruel.

Some novice doctors in a critical advancement period would deliberately make incisions on some experimental animals like mice or rabbits to test their suturing level.

Although it is done under anesthesia, if the animal protection organization finds out, there will surely be complaints.

Practice brings true knowledge.

Conducting some medical experiments on animals is allowed.

This includes experiments on primates like monkeys, which are also legally supported as long as the procurement channels are legal.

Additionally, some doctors have found that after suturing on mice or rabbits, the wounds heal quite quickly. Then, confidently performing on patients yields unsatisfactory results.

This is because human healing ability is inferior to these experimental small animals.

Some patients have underlying diseases or poor physical condition, such as old age, poor blood circulation, slow metabolism, limited nutritional supplementation, which easily cause slow healing post-suturing.

So, it's truly remarkable that human medical technology has developed to this point today.

It's not, as some imagine, simply a matter of experimenting on animals. It has been improved gradually based on countless clinical accumulations, resulting in the relatively mature medical system we have today.

Yang Zhi took over this patient and began suturing.

Zhou Can did not rush to call in the next patient but stood by watching Yang Zhi operate.

Once Yang Zhi finished suturing, Zhou Can nodded in satisfaction.

He issued medical advice to the patient and then had Ma Xiaolan escort him out.

"Doctor Yang's basic surgical skills are quite solid!"

Zhou Can praised him.

Suturing inside the mouth should be meticulous, as operating in the mouth is somewhat limited, so the requirements for suturing are naturally higher.

As a result, Yang Zhi performed excellently.

"You're too kind! I just usually practice the major basic skills of surgery during leisure," he said.

In other words, not only is his suturing skill excellent, but his other basic surgical skills are equally outstanding.

At this time, Dr. Xu came in.

"Teacher, this is the anal colorectal surgeon Yang Zhi that I mentioned to you. Just now, he performed oral suturing on a patient, which was excellent." The addition of new members to Zhou Can's surgical team was undoubtedly discussed with Dr. Xu beforehand.

Dr. Xu's gaze was intimidating as he scrutinized Yang Zhi, making him feel a chill throughout his body.

However, he very much hopes to join Zhou Can's surgical team.

Especially after consecutively observing Zhou Can treat two patients, he deeply admired Zhou Can's formidable surgical skills and was captivated by him.

He firmly believes that working with such an outstanding young doctor will not lead to a bad outcome.

"Have you gotten Director Mi's consent about wanting to join the Emergency Department?"

Dr. Xu asked Yang Zhi, staring at him.

"I didn't dare to directly tell Director Mi about it, only subtly mentioned twice that I was preparing to leave the anal colorectal surgery department. Director Mi advised me to persist both times, but honestly, I see no hope there. Although there are fewer doctors in the department, meaning less competition, that's not the work environment I want. My family situation doesn't permit me to struggle continuously on the survival line. I aim to accumulate and eventually achieve the vice-high rating with a stable income."

Yang Zhi candidly expressed his actual situation.

After listening, Dr. Xu asked again, "Is your work about earning more money?"

"Having a high income is partially my pursuit, but not all of it. I wish to improve my medical skills, and I believe that with enhanced skills and dedicated work, the income won't fall short."

His thoughts likely reflect those of most doctors.

To say work isn't for making money is nonsense.
