My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1145: Chapter 452: First SCI Paper, Immersive Rescue

"Qianqian, I have a letter for you to read!"

Before Zhou Can returned home, he had already decided that he couldn’t keep this matter from her.

"First of all, let me state, since Mu Qin went abroad, we haven’t contacted each other. She saw what I posted on my social media, and that’s why she helped find the herbs." After saying this, Zhou Can took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to her.

Su Qianqian took it but didn’t rush to open it.

"This is a letter someone wrote to you, I wouldn’t dare read it."

"If you were really the type of small-minded woman, I wouldn’t let you read it! Honestly, I’m really grateful to Mu Qin for helping us out with this. We’ll definitely repay this favor together when we get the chance."

Upon hearing Zhou Can’s words, she finally opened the letter and began reading it.

Women always say one thing but mean another.

Clearly wanting to read it, yet claiming she doesn’t dare.

If Su Qianqian genuinely didn’t intend to read the letter, she wouldn’t have taken it in the first place.

After reading it, she stood silent for a long time.

Zhou Can didn’t interrupt her, allowing her to process her emotions bit by bit.

"Oh dear, why are you crying?"

He saw two streams of clear tears on Su Qianqian’s face under the living room light and quickly fetched tissues from the coffee table to wipe them for her.

"When I first heard that the medicine was bought by Mu Qin and she wrote you a letter, I felt extremely unhappy, blaming her for entangling with you again. After reading this letter, I felt ashamed of my behavior and deeply moved by her generosity and profound feelings. Can, I think she must really, really love you. Even knowing that you’re searching for medicine to save me, she still went out of her way to help buy the medicine without hesitation..."

Entangled feelings that cannot be easily resolved.

The reason love and family bonds are so intoxicating and irresistible is because of the selfless sacrifice and not expecting anything in return.

Even if one knows it might harm their own interests, they still willingly endure it.

Emotions are indeed the most complex aspects of humanity.

In the adult world, prioritizing interests is certainly right, but emotions can easily override interests.

For instance, when our loved ones or relatives fall ill, many people are willing to sell their cars and houses, or even incur massive debts to save them. In the face of true love, family ties, or even friendship, interests become insignificant.

Su Qianqian’s life story is tragic, and her childhood wasn’t pleasant.

It wasn’t until she met Zhou Can that she experienced genuine love and affection.

At this moment, Mu Qin’s act of kindness gave her a deeper understanding of love and human benevolence.

After finding the two main herbs, Zhou Can prepared the medicine for her according to the method and served it to her without more ado.

...

The next day, Zhou Can went to the hospital for work as usual.

With the hope of Su Qianqian’s illness being curable, his heart was filled with joy and anticipation.

While doing rounds, Director Xue Yan called him.

"Congratulations, Zhou Can!"

Zhou Can was momentarily puzzled. Could it be that she already knew about finding the two main herbs and that Su Qianqian’s kidney disease was on the verge of being cured so soon?

"Sister Yan, what’s the good news this time?"

The Seven-Colored Toad among the two main herbs couldn’t be exposed to the public, so Zhou Can naturally wouldn’t let outsiders know.

Otherwise, it could easily become a huge risk.

"The Cardiothoracic Surgery paper where you played a significant role has passed the preliminary review. It’s likely to be published in SCI without any issues. As for the impact factor, I can’t predict that. Nonetheless, as long as it meets the SCI rating standards, you’ll have your first SCI paper. This will be immensely beneficial for your future career."

Although the paper was primarily Zhou Can’s, Director Xue Yan helped greatly in refining it and made numerous revisions.

Besides the ideas and key knowledge from Zhou Can himself, most of the paper’s content was written with Director Xue Yan’s guidance. She also taught him techniques to enhance the chance of acceptance without reserve.

"Really! That’s wonderful! Sister Yan, with your help in getting the paper through, you’re the biggest hero. I must thank you properly. How about I treat your whole family to dinner?"

Zhou Can was not familiar with Xue Yan’s family situation.

He only knew she had a son in high school and a daughter in college.

"No need for dinner! If we were to be so formal, I wouldn’t know how many favors I owe you! If you’re free tonight, come over and assist me with surgery. There’s a very challenging aortic aneurysm surgery in Cardiothoracic Surgery that I’m more confident with your help."

Aortic aneurysms and aortic dissections are high-risk, high-mortality diseases.

Generally, aortic surgeries include covered stents, Aortic Artificial Vessel Replacement Surgery, Endovascular Isolation Surgery, among others.

To resolve the aneurysm, inserting a coil is one method as well.

Many people are confused between heart stents and vascular coils, mistakenly thinking they’re the same thing. They are actually completely different interventional tools.

Stents are used to expand blood vessels, applied where there’s blockage or narrowing to prevent embolism.

Coils are generally used in interventional surgery for vascular aneurysms, placed in the aneurysm to block it.

You can understand it this way: coils prevent aneurysm rupture and bleeding by blocking it. Stents expand the narrow segments of blood vessels.

Having agreed with Director Xue Yan, they planned to start the surgery around seven in the evening, and Zhou Can hung up the phone.

Upon arriving at the Emergency Department, he noticed some family members seemingly scolding the nurse on duty again.

This phenomenon occurred almost daily in the Emergency Department, and he watched for a moment but didn’t intervene. In fact, even if he stepped in, it wouldn’t help.
