My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1278: Chapter 503: Qianqian’s Recovery, The Persistent Patient (2)

Returning home from the hospital, it was already almost eleven twenty.

This was because the place he lived was very close to the hospital. If he were still living near Bajing Lake, he wouldn’t be able to get home by midnight.

Upon entering the house, Su Qianqian had already considerately prepared pajamas for him to shower.

After showering, she served a bowl of ginseng bird’s nest porridge specially cooked for Zhou Can. They lacked for nothing; their financial strength was strong. Seeing his busy and tiring daily life, Su Qianqian tried various ways to prepare supplements for him.

"By the way, let me see your medical examination results!"

After drinking the ginseng bird’s nest porridge, Zhou Can remembered that Su Qianqian had gone to the hospital for a check-up.

He hastily asked her to bring over the examination results for a look.

"Here!"

She brought it over.

Prolonged illness turns one into a good doctor.

She herself was actually quite capable of reading the results too. Just needed to look at a few key examination data.

"Urine creatinine, urine protein, urine sediment all normal, ultrasonic image shows normal kidney morphology, the glomerular filtration rate qualifies... Oh my god, it’s really healed, really healed... Wonderful! Qianqian, your kidney disease is finally cured, Chinese medicine is truly great!"

After seeing the results, Zhou Can was incoherent and extremely thrilled.

Since falling in love with Su Qianqian, her kidney disease had always been Zhou Can’s biggest concern.

Now seeing the examination results, he felt incredibly happy.

Too much was sacrificed to help her recover.

As their relationship deepened, she had long become an inseparable part of his life.

The greatest fear was the thought of her quietly leaving one day.

Given her character, she could really do something so foolish.

In his excitement, he hugged Su Qianqian and spun around in the living room.

"Haha... I want to get married, I want to have children with you, I’m finally a healthy, normal person again! Excited!"

Su Qianqian locked her arms around his neck, continuously laughing out loud.

"Have children? Sure, today I’ll sow the seeds!"

Zhou Can carried her and strode towards the bedroom.

"Bad guy, bad guy..."

Her powdery fists hit but had lost their strength, her delicate face flushed red.

The next day, Zhou Can woke up refreshed again.

Being young is good.

Occasionally indulging for a night doesn’t affect him at all.

Now that Su Qianqian’s illness is cured, they aren’t getting any younger; it’s time to put the wedding plans on agenda.

Zhou Can is currently in a critical stage of preparing for his postgraduate exams, his career is also in a phase of rapid growth, leaving him almost no energy to dedicate to wedding preparations. This matter, after discussing with Su Qianqian, might have to be handled by her.

They have been dating for several years, and have lived together for years as well.

But Zhou Can has never met the girl’s parents yet.

Her family situation is special, having lost her parents from a young age, raised by her uncle and aunt.

Such a major event as marriage definitely needs discussion with her uncle and aunt, which is a form of respect.

Yet from some of her descriptions, it’s not difficult to perceive that her uncle and aunt haven’t treated her as well as one might expect.

While she was given food as a child, she had to help with a lot of work every day.

At a young age, she herded sheep, cows, cut grass to cook and feed pigs, helped with work in the fields... Her uncle’s son and daughter virtually did no work. Whenever she had disputes over toys or had arguments with her uncle’s son or daughter, no matter who was right or wrong, she was always the one who got punished or scolded.

Whenever her uncle and aunt returned from traveling far, they would always hug their children first and never hug her.

Children without parents often lead pitiable lives under another’s roof.

It’s precisely such experiences that taught her to read people’s expressions from a young age.

As for schooling, the country’s effort towards free education was quite commendable.

Truly impoverished students could have various expenses waived.

When she attended high school, she managed to complete the rigorous studies of three years mainly by working during winter and summer vacations, and with the scholarships and public funds obtained by teachers on her behalf.

For college, loans from the state were processed.

Additionally, she earned scholarships every year and utilized vacations to work part-time jobs to earn money.

To say, the care provided by her uncle and aunt during childhood was extremely limited. Apart from providing food and shelter, assistance was minimal.

Of course, no matter what, if not for her uncle and aunt’s upbringing during childhood, her fate might have been tragically grim.

Now that she has gained financial stability, she sends money or goods to her uncle and aunt annually.

However, she hasn’t visited them in several years.

Once, during the New Year, Zhou Can proposed accompanying her back to her hometown to check things out, as well as mentioning their relationship to her elders. She just shook her head, saying it could wait until after they marry at some point.

It is believed that even in adulthood, the memories of childhood neglect and differential treatment remained vivid.

Incident after incident, her heart had long grown cold.

This is the main reason she is unwilling to return to her hometown.

With their wedding plans in progress, regardless, he surely ought to accompany her back once to her hometown beforehand. As for how she wishes to repay the nurturing from her uncle and aunt, Zhou Can respects her decision.

He will always be her strongest support.

...

Upon arriving at the hospital, colleagues from the Emergency Department congratulated him with smiles.

The live surgical broadcast yesterday had an unimaginable influence, many colleagues at the hospital knew about it. Some even happened to catch it, truly experiencing Zhou Can’s impressive skills firsthand.

The live broadcast’s popularity at the time was extremely extraordinary.

Zhou Can didn’t feel anything special, one night had passed, and he’d returned to normalcy, doing what he needed to do.

Ward rounds, working in the operating room.

Currently, among his surgical skills, only the Ligation Skill remained at Level 5.

This couldn’t be helped.

The progress from Level 5 to Level 6 required ten thousand Experience Points, neither an overly high nor low amount.

With only 1 point gained per usage, acquiring ten thousand Experience Points proved quite challenging.

The Ligation Skill is used less frequently than the Suturing Skill, also offering fewer significant reward opportunities. This caused its delayed advancement.

Zhou Can felt quite helpless about this.

The workload every day is enormous, it’s impossible to ignore other surgeries just to elevate Ligation Skill by haphazardly ligating patients.

No patient would willingly act as a guinea pig.

Thus, one can only let nature take its course, seizing opportunities to earn Experience Points for the Ligation Skill whenever possible.

Busy till around ten fifty in the morning, a nurse came in looking for Zhou Can.

"Dr. Zhou, a patient outside came specifically to seek your treatment. Waiting right outside for you."

Normally, when doctors are operating, nurses outside wouldn’t enter carelessly to disturb.

The operating room in itself is a relatively sterile environment.

Nurses entering from outside follow strict procedures.

"Inform the patient that I consult in the Emergency Department every Friday morning. I have other work on usual days and can’t host consultations."

Zhou Can didn’t intend to go outside to meet the patient.

There are often patients coming specifically for him, but he can’t stop the surgery to go out to treat patients.

Patients have to adapt to a doctor’s working hours.

If doctors revolve around patients, even a tenfold increase in the number of doctors might not suffice for the hospital.

"They have already explained to the patient but he’s not listening. He said he’s willing to wait until your surgery is over to have you take a look."

"Quite an insistent patient! You can also inform him that seeing other doctors is the same, everyone’s treatment procedure is quite similar."

Encountering stubborn patients seeking treatment, Zhou Can felt quite helpless.

He tried to have nurses work on their mindset.

"They’ve been told, but he insists on having you examine him. Plus, I think he isn’t just anybody, since there are two men in plain clothes guarding him at a normal distance of over ten meters."

"Alright, then inform him that I might not be able to leave surgery until close to one o’clock in the afternoon. Today, there are many surgical patients, and most are emergencies needing prompt attention. He could also go attend to his own matters first and return around one in the afternoon to find me."

Zhou Can could only helplessly agree.

Facing such insistent patients, he basically agrees to use his free time to treat them.

People seeking him is itself a form of trust.
