My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1292: Chapter 509: The Dangers of Rapid Infusion and the Unbreakable Unspoken Rules (Part 3)

This was the immediate medical order to be carried out, and there was also a long-term order: over the next five days, the patient would need to be given Diuretics and digitalis‑type drugs.

The goal was to rapidly relieve the symptoms of pulmonary edema.

The lungs govern water; when they become edematous, the first thing to consider is not fluid restriction but diuresis.

If the patient also has concurrent renal failure, that situation is very dangerous.

When a certain organ in the body develops a problem, it can actually be like some ancient kingdom being attacked and seeking help from a neighboring state—it can likewise seek help from other organs in the body.

It’s just that this "request for help" has to be realized by the doctor through drugs or other methods.

Giving this patient Diuretics was equivalent to the lungs having a problem and asking the kidneys and other organs for help, speeding up the excretion of excess water from the body to ease the pulmonary edema.

After identifying this patient’s etiology and pathology, Zhou Can earned 101 points of pathology diagnosis Experience Points.

Of those, 100 points were awarded by the system.

Diagnosing this kind of difficult case basically earns at least 100 points of pathology diagnosis Experience Points as a reward.

Sometimes when luck was good, he had even gotten massive rewards of 1,000 points.

Pathology diagnosis had also been soaring all the way up, leaving pharmacological differentiation far behind. It was now about to be promoted to Level 6.

Because of yesterday’s live‑streamed surgery, Zhou Can had directly pushed Tuya Hospital’s Cardiothoracic Surgery onto the throne. What would follow was a steady stream of difficult cases, and his chances to earn large Experience Points rewards would also come one after another.

There was one prerequisite: nothing could go wrong.

If a major medical accident occurred, all that reputation could be ruined overnight.

After finishing with this retired cadre, Zhou Can was planning to go back to the office and study another difficult case.

His contribution really shouldn’t be underestimated.

Every time he properly handled one of these high‑difficulty patients, the reputation of Cardiothoracic Surgery would rise noticeably. Over time, that added up to something very substantial.

"Dr. Zhou, could you come here for a moment!"

Director Bu beckoned to Zhou Can.

Zhou Can quickly walked into the consultation room specifically used for communicating with patients and their families. The two bodyguards were standing out in the corridor; they looked quite professional, vigilantly watching everyone who approached the room.

The two of them had long since memorized Zhou Can’s face.

After all, their boss had come all the way from Shanghai specifically to see Zhou Can for treatment.

Inside, the patient, Chen Zhongzhi, was sitting there, his expression calm.

"Just now Director Bu had a talk and communication with me. I also understand the rules and policies of your medical profession. But for my surgery, I hope Dr. Zhou can be the one to do it for me. As for whatever you need to put on the paperwork, you can handle that however you like."

Given Chen Zhongzhi’s distinguished status, his life was extremely important.

He hadn’t wanted to undergo an aortic graft surgery in a top hospital in Shanghai precisely because the risk was too high. He wasn’t willing to take that big a gamble.

"I’m just a Resident Doctor!"

When Zhou Can performed Level 4 surgeries, even if he was the one actually operating on the patient, on paper he was still listed as a participant.

Although he had built up a certain level of trust with this patient, having him openly admit some hidden secrets face‑to‑face was impossible.

Some unspoken rules can only be understood, not spelled out.

For example, when giving gifts to certain important leaders, if you show up hugging a big case or carrying a bundle of cash, they won’t even let you through the door.

Because who knows whether you’re secretly filming, or whether someone else is secretly filming?

The risk is way too high.

The fact that Zhou Can could take charge of Level 4 surgeries had long ceased to be a secret within Cardiothoracic Surgery at Tuya Hospital. But it was never talked about outside, and couldn’t be.
