My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1227: Chapter 484: The Inevitable Doctor-Patient Conflict and the Relationship Between Anesthesiologist and Lead Surgeon

Besides, when he performs surgeries, he always does it with great care.

Although some patients might be dissatisfied with the surgical outcome, from a professional standpoint, he believes the results can withstand scrutiny.

There is a particularly troublesome patient he still remembers vividly, who had hemorrhoids removed, and then, after a period, suddenly experienced unbearable abdominal pain.

Upon examination, it turned out to be acute appendicitis.

The patient underwent an appendicitis operation at the Third Hospital.

After recovery, the patient directly ran to Tu Ya’s Emergency Department causing a scene, accusing that Zhou Can deliberately left a ’back door’ during the surgery. This supposedly led to the appendicitis less than a month after the hemorrhoid removal.

Faced with such an ignorant and highly suspicious patient, what could he do?

Another example, he performed a hemostasis, suture, and bandaging surgery on a pregnant woman’s wrist who was two months pregnant. The family insisted on talking to him outside, and he thought they were worried, so he changed out of his scrubs and went out to speak with the family member.

The man, dressed in designer clothes, was about fifty, exuding a wealthy aura from head to toe.

The pregnant woman was only about twenty, very young.

But these days, successful men marrying young, beautiful girls is rather common.

Zhou Can asked who the man was to the pregnant woman. The man claimed to be the woman’s boyfriend.

Note, ’boyfriend’ and ’husband’ are two different concepts.

The man pulled Zhou Can aside and whispered, "Dr. Zhou, please do me a favor, tell my girlfriend that the baby in her belly can’t be kept and needs to be removed."

After saying this, he discreetly pulled out a stack of cash trying to slip it to Zhou Can.

With Zhou Can’s professional ability, he could see that the injury on the woman’s wrist was likely from a suicide attempt.

He originally thought the boyfriend would be concerned about the unborn child, but unexpectedly he wanted Zhou Can to persuade the woman to abort.

This, Zhou Can certainly could not agree to.

He sternly refused right on the spot.

The man cursed Zhou Can for not knowing what was good for him, and soon after, Zhou Can received a notice from the Medical Department.

Someone had filed a complaint against him.

Therefore, no matter how carefully doctors and nurses attend to patients, and how polite they are to the family, conflicts with patients are inevitable.

There will always be certain patient or family requests that medical staff cannot fulfill.

If the person trying to harm Zhou Can were to be someone he treated or their family, that would indeed be disheartening.

Suddenly, a person flashed across his mind.

Director Xue’s husband had once threatened Zhou Can, and this person seemed very extreme in nature, with poor character. Accepting money from the Third Hospital and even daring to harm his own wife indicated that he was not trustworthy.

"Officer, I’ve thought of someone. He’s the husband of a female doctor at our hospital. He once suspected I had an improper relationship with his wife and threatened me face-to-face."

Zhou Can provided this clue to the police.

"Then, is your relationship with his wife proper?"

"My relationship with Director Xue is crystal clear. We have no relations outside of work. Besides, she’s fifteen or sixteen years older than me. I have a girlfriend, and there’s no way anything would happen between us. We’re always respectful to each other and never made any inappropriate jokes."

"Then why did her husband suspect you had an improper relationship?"

"One night, after finishing the last surgery very late, as per the request of the previous department head Hu Kan, I was helping Director Xue manage the Cardiothoracic Surgery department. The department was then in a major crisis, so I discussed some strategies with Director Xue. Perhaps because the door was closed the whole time, her husband found out and mistakenly thought something was going on between us."

Zhou Can told it exactly as it was.

Because the police could easily verify the facts with a little investigation.

Lying would only bring unnecessary trouble to him.

And there was no need for that at all.

"Alright, we’ve got that information. If this case is filed, we’ll notify you. During the investigation, please keep this information confidential and avoid spreading it around to prevent affecting our investigation."

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Zhou Can thanked them repeatedly.

Late at night, these two police officers were so responsible, without brushing him off.

This made him very grateful and increased his respect for the officers.

...

When he got home, Su Qianqian hugged him tightly.

She didn’t speak, just buried her head in his chest and wept.

"If something really happened to you, what would I do?"

She cried and said.

"Nothing happened! Don’t cry, don’t cry! I’ll be extra careful, don’t worry."

Zhou Can had already briefly told her about the situation over the phone.

There was no need to hide it from her.

Because this was especially dangerous, telling her would also keep her on higher alert.

Like not long ago, when she learned Zhou Can was almost hit by a falling flower pot on his way home from work, she wanted to rush to the scene immediately.

Zhou Can told her that the perpetrator was lurking in the dark, and her presence would not help but rather increase risk. Besides, he was unhurt, just a bit startled.

Finally, she listened to Zhou Can’s advice and stayed home, patiently waiting for his return.

"From tomorrow onwards, don’t walk to work anymore, drive!"

"I promise you!"

Zhou Can nodded in agreement.

Falling objects are indeed terrifying. Had he not reacted quickly with his crisis response instinct, the consequences would have been disastrous.
