My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1144: Chapter 451: Short-Handed, Surprises Always Come So Suddenly (Part 2)

These pieces of evidence have already been preserved by Director Xue Yan.

However, out of professional ethics, she did not inform the family about it.

Zhou Can actually thinks Director Xue Yan did a good job by not undermining other doctors, which is the basic professional ethics. Those who like to criticize other doctors in front of patients, saying there’s something wrong with their treatments, often lack medical ethics, character, and skills.

If someone is truly capable, they don’t need to put down other doctors to highlight their skills.

"Keeping the evidence is good. It serves as a backup, in case that child faces any issues in the future, making it easier to delineate treatment responsibilities. You should continue giving that child cardiotonic and diuretic treatment. I estimate it needs to continue for a relatively long period, so you have to communicate this with the family, giving them the confidence to persevere."

Zhou Can has seen too many cases where, clearly, there was a chance of recovery if the treatment continued. But the family, afraid to lose both the person and the money, and unable to bear the high costs, ultimately chose to give up.

These cases are such a pity.

But the doctor has no choice and must follow the family’s wishes.

It’s like when a critically ill patient is brought to the hospital, and the family signs to give up treatment, the doctor has to let go.

Some men beat their wives, not treating them as human beings. Or some women, after getting married, rely on their good looks to fool around outside, not being true to their marriage. At home, the husband orders her around, showing a queenly demeanor.

These two types of people should never get seriously ill.

Otherwise, when they enter the hospital, they will quickly grasp the meaning of despair.

...

Days passed by like this, and Zhou Can gradually developed a good rapport with the newly hired medical assistant, Yang Zhi. He was very satisfied with this new medical assistant.

Luo Shishen had completed his internship and went to attend the regulated training.

Considering his level was just at the beginning of his internship, if he had applied for the regulated training recruitment of Tuya, he would most likely have been eliminated. After working hard with Zhou Can for nearly a year, his skills in all aspects have improved significantly.

Particularly in surgical skills, surgical knowledge, and some rescue clinical procedures, he really could outperform other medical students who finished their internships.

So, during the regulated training recruitment, he succeeded in passing all the rounds and finally obtained the regulated training qualification with fairly excellent results.

When choosing a direction for regulated training, he opted for the surgical direction.

He went directly into the general surgery rotation.

He had already made a reservation with Zhou Can, that after the regulated training, he would go to the Emergency Department to join Zhou Can and continue to follow Zhou Can.

In response to this, Zhou Can didn’t give his direct approval.

He told Luo Shishen that if he wanted to join his surgical team, he must have a sufficiently strong skill level. This was like pushing Luo Shishen to improve his surgical skills during the two years of regulated training.

Zhou Can’s surgical team still needed people.

Especially when performing Level 3 major surgeries, he felt understaffed.

Dr. Xu, despite his age, still had to assist by retracting.

Moreover, with only two surgical nurses, Qiao Yu hadn’t taken a single day off in over a year.

Even when she had a cold, she still gritted her teeth and persisted.

She did it to ensure the efficient operation of the surgical team.

Zhou Can also tried to let Ma Xiaolan replace the instrument nurse position, but her skills were far inferior to Qiao Yu’s. Her cooperation was very unsmooth, and with constant high-speed work, she easily became flustered and frequently made mistakes.

Competence is a comprehensive reflection of knowledge, mentality, professional level, logical thinking, and coordination.

To make his surgical team run more stably, it needs to recruit at least one more surgical nurse and an assistant to meet his high-intensity work requirements.

The ideal situation is that someday, even if Zhou Can or Qiao Yu takes a vacation, the surgical team can still operate normally and handle patients with regular surgical difficulties.

Currently, he and Qiao Yu remain the core of the surgical team, irreplaceable.

"Dr. Zhou, someone outside brought a package saying it’s for Dr. Zhou Can in the Emergency Department to sign."

Zhou Can had just entered the operating room for a short time when Ma Xiaolan brought him a message.

"Let one of the nurses at the nurse station sign for me. Who sent a package to me here?"

He didn’t have the time to receive a package now.

Occasionally, patients who recovered and were discharged would send him banners or local specialties to express gratitude. Receiving such packages always warmed his heart.

Since those patients didn’t know his home address or personal number, they often wrote the service phone number of the Emergency Department or asked a particular on-duty nurse’s phone number, then sent the items directly to the Emergency Department, naming Zhou Can as the recipient.

Could this again be a patient’s heartfelt gesture?

Around twelve forty in the afternoon, Zhou Can went to the nurse station to check the package after surgery.

To his surprise, it turned out to be an international package.

It was directly mailed from abroad.

The sender’s name was in English, and the phone number was an international number.

This was interesting indeed.

Opening the package, he saw a plant wrapped in a plastic bag, dried up. At a glance, it was recognizable as an Eight-pointed Lotus.

Because Zhou Can had been desperately searching for this herb.

He even posted on his WeChat moments, hoping to leverage connections in the medical community to help find it.

But he never got any useful leads.

He couldn’t help but excitedly examine the dried plant closely, and he could still see the slightly purple hue on the back of the leaves and the stems. However, when the plant dries, its color changes somewhat.

So the purple didn’t seem apparent.

"Could this... be the Purple Back Eight-pointed Lotus I’ve been so desperately looking for?"

He thought to himself that he didn’t have many friends abroad.

Who on earth was the kind-hearted person who found and sent him the Purple Back Eight-pointed Lotus he’d been arduously seeking?

Only then did he notice there was a letter in the package.

It was written on a piece of paper, folded, and placed at the bottom of the package.

"Zhou Can, how have you been? I’ve entered École Normale Supérieure in Lyon here in France. I saw on WeChat moments that you were searching for this herb called Purple Back Eight-pointed Lotus. After hearing about it from a friend at an Exotic Plant Exhibition Hall, I went through quite a bit of effort to get it. I know you’re probably looking for it to treat Miss Qianqian’s illness. I am moved by your love and yearn for such sincere love, hoping Miss Qianqian recovers soon. Wishing you both happiness!"

The signature at the end was Mu Qin.

She must have spent considerable effort locating the Purple Back Eight-pointed Lotus, and it wouldn’t have been easy to buy it from an exhibition hall.

And with her intelligence, she even guessed that Zhou Can was seeking this herb to treat his girlfriend, Su Qianqian.

Logically, she always had a crush on Zhou Can, and Su Qianqian was practically her romantic rival.

If Su Qianqian’s illness couldn’t be cured, she might have a chance to be with Zhou Can.

However, she chose to show her magnanimity to help find this herb with all her might.

Only a girl who is kind to the core and broad-minded can do such a thing.

"I’ve encountered all the good women in the world!"

Zhou Can carefully put away the letter, intending to use the Purple Back Eight-pointed Lotus in medicine.

Now, Su Qianqian’s kidney disease could finally be cured.

He also wondered how much Mu Qin paid to buy it. The cost certainly wouldn’t be cheap.

He should find an opportunity to reimburse her.

Moreover, Zhou Can didn’t intend to hide this from Su Qianqian. Kindness and gratitude should not be taken for granted; Mu Qin deserves their lifelong gratitude as a couple.

After work, Zhou Can finished his rounds and went straight to the herbal medicine store.

Tuya Hospital also has its own herbal medicine department, but getting medicine from the hospital pharmacy is relatively troublesome.

And their variety is not as extensive as what’s available outside.

He purchased according to the prescription, only to realize that the various auxiliary medicines were not easy to buy. He ended up visiting multiple pharmacies to get everything he needed.

Returning to the villa they bought, Su Qianqian was pleasantly surprised to see Zhou Can home so early.

"Darling, this is the earliest you’ve gotten off work. I was just telling Wei Fang that you might not make it home until midnight! Haven’t eaten yet, right? I specially saved some food for you. Go wash your hands, and get ready to eat."

Having a girlfriend at home is indeed very warm.

Coming home is always filled with anticipation.

"No rush for dinner. I’ve got good news for you, look at this!"

Zhou Can showed her the Purple Back Eight-pointed Lotus.

"This... isn’t it the Eight-pointed Lotus?" she, too, had been striving to find the two main herbs, but with no success. "Where did you get it?"

Su Qianqian looked at the herb excitedly.

Her hands were trembling slightly.

"Remember that female journalist Mu Qin?"

Zhou Can asked cautiously.

"What do you think? The woman who wanted to snatch my man, I wouldn’t forget." Su Qianqian surely cares about such things.

No woman can be so magnanimous as to hand over the man she loves to someone else.
