Chapter 1189: Chapter 470: Director Tang’s Kindness and the Natural Expansion of Connections

It’s estimated that even if Zhou Can didn’t say it, Director Le probably knew there was a mistake in choosing the surgical plan.

But that’s how surgeries are; there are seldom any chances to turn back. Not to mention the patient’s life is not in danger now, even if the patient were to die post-operation, the doctors wouldn’t be held responsible either.

This cannot be helped.

Before the surgery, there are always pre-operative discussions with the family and the patient, and then the family is asked to sign confirmation.

The surgical informed consent form is not signed in vain.

I believe Director Le designed the surgical plan with the intention of performing the surgery well, but the final outcome didn’t meet expectations, which is a situation nobody wants to see.

Even if a secondary surgery is planned this time, the hospital will firmly not admit any mistakes during discussions with the family.

It’s just following the procedure.

In this regard, the patient is undoubtedly in a weak position.

"Could I trouble you to come over after work tonight? We can discuss the plan for the secondary surgery, and then I’ll communicate with the family."

Director Le was evidently much more cautious with the secondary surgery.

After all, he’s already a chief physician; although he’s considered very young among chief physicians, he has at least ten years of work experience. He is very experienced in dealing with post-operative complications.

"OK!"

Zhou Can didn’t refuse.

For requests from these familiar colleagues, he generally tries his best to help whenever possible.

Director Le knows he’s very busy during the day, and specifically chose a time after work.

This is already a form of respect and goodwill towards Zhou Can.

...

After work, Zhou Can hurriedly went to the inpatient ward for rounds.

Morning and evening rounds are his must-do work.

The department takes good care of him; apart from surgery, one day a week attending in the Emergency Department, and daily morning and evening rounds, the department rarely assigns him extra work tasks. Unless occasionally facing some tricky rescue cases that require his consultation or participation, then they’ll ask him to help.

Ye Tingting has already been discharged home to recuperate.

A new surgical patient, operated on by Zhou Can, has already occupied her bed.

The rounds went smoothly; after removing the unstable factor of Dr. Lu, it became rare for inpatient surgical patients in the Emergency Department to have major problems.

Generally, high-risk surgeries or Level 3 surgeries are personally performed by Zhou Can and Dr. Xu.

As for Dr. Fu and Dr. Cui, these attending physicians mostly only get to observe and learn.

It’s worth mentioning that Dr. Cui already had a good surgical foundation, and after passing the attending exam, his surgical ability has become indistinguishable from junior attending physicians. He is even better than most newly promoted surgical attending physicians.

He is good at learning, works very diligently, and has some surgical talent.

He is one of the doctors being prioritized for cultivation in the Emergency Department operating room.

As for Fu Chachun, it’s highly likely he will keep working in the attending position until retirement.

Actually, a person’s work attitude often already dictates the height they can reach in their future and career.

Moreover, Fu Chachun doesn’t possess notable surgical talent, and he’s getting older, having long missed the best years for hard work.

While still making rounds, Director Tang from Pediatrics called directly.

"Director Tang, could it be another new difficult case?"

Zhou Can initially wanted to joke with her, as her husband was already jealous yesterday due to frequent contacts, better not to raise suspicion again.

But on second thought, he decided against it.

Their relationship can only be considered pretty good, not at the level where joking casually is appropriate.

If it accidentally offends her, how would they interact afterward?

In the workplace, controlling one’s tongue is crucial; inappropriate things must resolutely not be spoken.

"Haha... don’t worry, today I’m not calling you to bite hard bones, but because there’s good news. Since you’re able to take my call, it means you’re off surgery. If it’s nothing exceptionally important, hurry over; it won’t take much of your time."

Director Tang Fei laughed happily and wouldn’t reveal what it was about.

She made it very mysterious.

Her rank is undeniably much higher than Zhou Can’s.

Dealing with her, Zhou Can is actually in a weak position.

"What’s the matter that’s so mysterious; I still have seven beds left to check and estimate it’ll take me about twenty minutes to get to your office."

Zhou Can finished the call and continued doing rounds.

If it were only surgical inpatient rounds, he would have finished them long ago.

Emergency Internal Medicine admitted inpatient cases also require him to do rounds. When encountering new inpatient cases, he must fully understand all the patient information. This undoubtedly increases his burden.

Especially evening rounds when patients are regularly admitted.

Fortunately, Zhou Can has long become accustomed to it.

Moreover, thoroughly understanding each patient’s medical history, symptoms, and treatment situation during rounds is very helpful for his diagnostic and treatment experience.

Emergency Internal Medicine’s several doctors are quite aware of their abilities; when admitting inpatient cases, they deliberately delegate difficult and complicated cases to the respective specialized departments, keeping easier-to-diagnose, well-treated, high-revenue patients.

In terms of patient selection, the Emergency Department indeed enjoys some privileges that make other departments envious.

However, these things can only be done covertly; anyone who mentions them publicly is definitely out of their mind.

Zhou Can completed the rounds as fast as possible and headed to Pediatrics as promised twenty minutes later, but actually took about half an hour.
