My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1160: Chapter 458: Emergency Routine—Experience and Skill

I believe that the clinical staff will feel genuinely happy, just like Zhou Can, after experiencing these real changes.

He changed into his white coat and went straight to the ward for rounds.

When he reached the temporary bed in the corridor, bed number 23, he greeted with a smile, "Sister Tingting, are you feeling better today?"

After completing the emergency surgery, Ye Tingting stayed in the ICU for three days. Once her condition stabilized, she was transferred back to a regular ward for further treatment. Because she is very young and the surgery was done personally by Dr. Xu, her recovery has been quite impressive.

"Much better, the first two days I couldn’t eat at all, and the pain in my stomach was severe. Today I feel noticeably better."

Ye Tingting had visibly lost weight.

Being stabbed in the intestine and having it punctured is like a near-death experience for anyone.

The family member taking care of her at her side was Ye Tingting’s mother.

Her husband is the main breadwinner of the family, needing to work every day to earn money to support them. He stayed to care for her for a couple of days and would come to the hospital after work to relieve Ye Tingting’s mother and take her home.

Being a caregiver in the hospital is an extremely exhausting job.

The environment is not only noisy, but there’s nowhere to sleep. Many accompanying family members manage by sleeping with their head resting on the edge of the bed.

One or two days is manageable, but if the patient requires a prolonged hospital stay, it’s an enormous challenge for the accompanying family member.

"Let me check your wound!"

Her wound was on the upper abdomen, very close to the chest ribs.

If the assailant had stabbed a little higher, the consequences would be unimaginable. Her survival would have been uncertain.

Zhou Can, during his daily rounds, paid special attention and was meticulous in his care for her.

She lifted the patient gown, revealing her upper abdomen.

The wound was still covered with gauze.

Zhou Can carefully peeled back the tape, and the long incision was revealed. The wound from the assailant’s stab was actually very small, but Dr. Xu had to perform an open surgery during the rescue, resulting in a long incision.

"It’s basically healed; my teacher’s skill is excellent. Judging by the condition, as long as you take care, avoid certain foods, there shouldn’t be any obvious scars left. The transverse colon inside your abdomen should also be recovering well; otherwise, your temperature wouldn’t be so stable, and the surgical incision could potentially remain unhealed for a long time or even become infected and purulent."

After examining her, Zhou Can made a comprehensive assessment based on her current condition.

"I feel relieved hearing you say that!"

She smiled brightly.

Women all care about their appearance; having a long scar on the upper abdomen, or even scar hyperplasia, is simply unthinkable.

Being a nurse herself, Ye Tingting knew well what foods were permissible post-surgery and what weren’t.

There was no need for Zhou Can to give extra instructions.

"How is Hee Juan doing?"

Ye Tingting had always been afraid to ask about Hee Juan, but she knew that Hee Juan’s injuries were very severe.

There was even a possibility that she might not have survived.

"She’s still in the intensive care unit, she had an abdominal infection once, as there were multiple trauma sites within her abdomen, compounded by severe blood loss and contamination from bowel contents, her condition hasn’t been ideal. But I went to see her last night, and judging from her symptoms, condition, and vitals, overall it’s quite optimistic. Once she gets through the critical challenge of abdominal infection, things should get much better for her."

Hee Juan was fortunate to have been saved promptly by Zhou Can, who spared no effort and used all available resources to intensely rescue her, resulting in a relatively optimistic outcome.

Nonetheless, she remains in a life-or-death situation.

Facing many gates of hell that awaited her challenge.

After completing his rounds, Zhou Can stepped out of the ward as an emergency nurse hurriedly ran towards the doctors’ office.

Seeing Zhou Can arriving, she exclaimed like she found her savior, "Dr. Zhou, Dr. Zhou, a young female patient just arrived at the triage desk, her face looks off, white as paper. Currently, only Dr. Xie is on duty. He is assessing the female patient, and he asked me to invite a senior consultant to have a look."

A senior consultant usually refers to a seasoned senior doctor or nurse.

They have rich clinical experience and are basically attending physicians, charge nurses or above levels.

Typically, they no longer stay beside the patient’s bed or directly face the patient and family, but rather engage in higher-level tasks. For instance, overseeing patient resuscitation, reviewing medical records written by interns and residents, issuing crucial medical orders, leading groups, and so on.

Qualifying individuals to lead groups are generally at least associate chief physicians level.

Taking the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department as an example, associate chief physicians leading groups, both in terms of position and influence, rank higher than regular chief physicians.

The clinical departments in a hospital are extremely realistic places, where whoever’s diagnostic level excels and can generate more revenue for the department holds more influence. Moreover, chief physicians with outstanding academic and research achievements are also considered highly competent.

Although a department may not openly emphasize seniority, individuals are treated according to their capabilities.

There is no room for an incompetent chief physician to throw orders around in a department.

Even if that person has connections, at most he just ends up doing less work while still earning a salary.

The clinical frontline isn’t an environment suitable for those relying on connections.

Those with some background tend to head towards administrative departments.

Those with average connections vie for positions in medical technology departments.

Dr. Xie is a new doctor in the Emergency Department.

After becoming a resident doctor last year, he has just completed three years of work. Considered a newly promoted senior resident.

Dr. Luo had his hand injured by a family member last time and it hasn’t healed yet. The emergency department is a bit short-staffed for on-duty doctors, so Dr. Xie was dispatched to the triage desk for duty.
