My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1224: Chapter 483: Recruiting Another General, Midnight Murder

Could this Dr. Pu Dingdong be an undercover agent sent by some hospital? Zhou Can really didn’t dare to even think about such things.

He led Zhou Can away from the Cardiothoracic Surgery floor, and stopped in a deserted corridor.

The spot they chose was at the end of the corridor.

It was already midnight, and behind them was the restroom and the storage room for cleaning supplies used by the cleaning staff. They stopped by the window.

"Dr. Zhou, thank you for agreeing to speak with me alone. I want to follow you, is that possible?"

Dr. Pu looked at him directly, his eyes sincere, but his tone was cautious, afraid of being rejected.

In the dim light, his expression was not very clear.

It was clear that he was probably very nervous at the moment.

"That’s quite profound, what do you mean by ’follow me’?"

Zhou Can squinted and sized him up.

"Perhaps I didn’t express myself well. I simply want to learn from you. As long as you give me the opportunity, I’m willing to do any work you assign to me." Dr. Pu showed great respect in front of Zhou Can.

Like a first grader making a request to a teacher.

Full of hope, yet afraid of rejection.

"I... currently hold a master’s degree, with all four certifications completed. I have three years of formal work experience at the First Hospital. I completed residency training at a well-known university’s affiliated hospital. Though my surgical skills are somewhat weak, I consider myself to have a solid grounding in basic medical theory, especially in immunology, where I am relatively skilled."

Afraid of being rejected by Zhou Can, he quickly introduced his capabilities and specialties.

"Studying immunology, why do you want to work in Cardiothoracic Surgery?"

"My home is in the provincial capital. Actually, after completing residency training, if I had tried harder, I might have had the chance to stay at a university’s affiliated hospital. Realizing my parents only had me as a son, I chose to return to the provincial capital to find work. Tuya Hospital and the Provincial People’s Hospital were the two I desired most, but neither was easy to get into. I had no choice, and finally surrendered to reality, joining the First Hospital."

Dr. Pu recounted his job-seeking experience.

Not every medical student can be as lucky as Zhou Can.

In reality, getting a job at Tuya Hospital is extremely difficult.

Many graduate students get weeded out.

Even some doctoral graduates are eliminated.

Under Dean Zhu’s leadership, Tuya emphasizes quality in recruiting clinical medical and nursing staff, as well as researchers.

In administrative and logistical departments, one may find many with connections, but in clinical departments, hardly any traces of such practices can be seen.

Even those with connections can’t get in; graduates with inadequate degrees or medical students lacking ability and potential are basically even less likely to be recruited.

This situation is one reason for prevalent anxiety among clinical medical students.

Top-tier hospitals set very high standards for hiring. It’s not just about having a degree. The days when one could easily join major hospitals with just a master’s degree are long gone.

The better a hospital’s reputation, the harder it is to enter.

Meanwhile, ordinary hospitals face difficulty in recruiting.

Clinical medical graduates from better schools don’t want to settle and thus ignore offers from ordinary hospitals.

It’s like looking for a partner—high expectations, but not willing to accept less.

After all, there are relatively few clinical medical students, and the difficulty in training is high. In college campuses, clinical students often need emergency medical help due to study stress.

Current medical students are all standout individuals.

Having been filtered by the highly competitive college entrance exams, medical students typically excel in intelligence, learning ability, self-discipline, and diligence. Which medical student doesn’t have a certain sense of pride?

Though Dr. Pu might not be among the best, he is definitely not bad.

From his clinical performance, it’s clear he is practical and professionally capable, with strong ambitions.

Willing to give up better job opportunities to care for his aging parents and return home to the provincial capital is a display of filial piety. Generally speaking, a filial child is unlikely to have poor character.

This increased Zhou Can’s appreciation of him.

"Dr. Zhou, could you give me a chance? I’m jumping from the First Hospital to Tuya Hospital, and now want to jump from Cardiothoracic Surgery to your team. It’s not because I’m too ambitious, but because I seek better development. I truly love medicine and want to learn greater skills. You are the one who can help me realize this dream."

After speaking, Dr. Pu looked at Zhou Can somewhat fervently.

"How do you want to develop?"

Zhou Can isn’t someone who easily gets swayed by a few words and makes rash decisions.

Previously, when Yang Zhi wanted to join his team, even urgently needing a medical assistant, Zhou Can still subjected him to a strict and comprehensive assessment before agreeing.

"If I could assist you in surgeries, that would be ideal. If not, I’m willing to help in any way you need. For instance, managing post-operative patients—I’m sure I could do a good job."

Dr. Pu’s proficiency in immunology is highly valued by Zhou Can.

Zhou Can himself is relatively weak in the field of immunology.

Despite cramming various knowledge over the years, with limited time and energy, becoming wholly well-rounded is nearly impossible.
