My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1587: Chapter 645: Tonight We Drink, The New Neurosurgery Star (2)

There were quite a few people gathered around.

Zhou Can stood up and walked out of the meeting room, quickly catching up with the disheartened Dean Qin walking ahead of him.

"Dean Qin, how about I treat you to dinner tonight?"

Dean Qin was being marginalized by the higher-ups, and there were very few people who were willing to get close to him. Everyone avoided him, fearing that being too close to the dean’s assistant would affect their future.

After all, everyone had witnessed Dean Gao’s methods.

If one were to be labeled as being close to the dean’s assistant, and then suffer an undeserved disaster, it wouldn’t be worth it.

Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune is the most realistic side of the workplace.

Back in the Emergency Department, Zhou Can was temporarily suspended for a day because he disagreed with taking the fall for the doctors at Tuya Second Hospital. Many colleagues in the Emergency Department immediately distanced themselves from him.

"Thanks, brother! It’s just that I’m like a plague now, whoever sticks close to me will get unlucky. Let’s get together another day! Once things settle down, I’ll treat you to dinner."

As everyone shunned the dean’s assistant, only Zhou Can did not avoid him, even inviting him to a meal.

Even though he was in his forties or fifties, he was moved to tears by this gesture.

It’s easy to add flowers to the brocade, but difficult to provide help in times of need.

You can only see who truly cares when you’re down, who is genuine and who is not.

He addressed Zhou Can directly as brother instead of Director Zhou.

"What plague? In a lifetime, who doesn’t have their ups and downs? I believe there’s no such thing as a dead end, at most it’s just a setback. Tonight, I think you need to drown your sorrows with some drinks. Come on, let me take you to a restaurant with food that suits your taste."

Zhou Can dragged the dean’s assistant directly into the elevator.

The gratitude in the dean’s assistant’s heart was indescribable.

"Brother, when you first joined the Quality Control Department, I intentionally made things difficult for you. I never thought that when I fell on hard times, your friendship would be the truest. In hindsight, I really shouldn’t have done that."

The dean’s assistant spoke with a somewhat hoarse voice.

Men, you know, often hide their emotions deeply but that doesn’t mean they are emotionless.

"Why bring up the past at all! I know, back then you blocked me from getting in because you wanted to promote your own relative into the position. Helping family over fairness, that’s just human nature."

Zhou Can led the dean’s assistant directly into his Mercedes-Benz.

To the dean’s assistant, a Mercedes-Benz worth hundreds of thousands didn’t seem too surprising.

At a leadership level in the hospital, after a couple of years of hard work, one could afford such a car.

If you were a bit bolder and earned some gray income, it might not even take a year.

Just as the car exited the hospital’s back gate, a phone call came in.

"Brother Zhou Can, there’s a Level 4 cardiothoracic surgery waiting for you tonight! Don’t forget."

It was Director Xue Yan from Cardiothoracic Surgery calling.

Her position in Cardiothoracic Surgery was very secure now, thanks to her outstanding performance. This time, her promotion to deputy dean was almost guaranteed.

"Sister Yan, I want to drink tonight, can we postpone the surgery for a day, or can you find someone else to do it?"

Zhou Can’s surgical skills were already not inferior to Director Hu Kan’s back in the day.

In many aspects, he was even stronger than Director Hu Kan.

For high-difficulty Level 4 surgeries in Cardiothoracic Surgery, they had to invite him for assistance.

Sometimes, even if he did nothing but sit on a chair next to the operating table, it brought peace of mind to everyone.

He was the guardian of life, a talisman for successful surgeries.

Since he was driving at the moment, and using the car’s speakerphone, the dean’s assistant could hear the conversation clearly.

Seeing that Zhou Can was willing to cancel a surgery just to comfort him, the dean’s assistant was moved yet again.

"You never drink, what’s going on?"

Director Xue Yan was unaware of the situation at this end.

She thought something was bothering Zhou Can and asked out of concern.

"Uh, nothing’s going on, Dean Qin is sitting right next to me! I’m driving, talk later!"

After saying that, Zhou Can hung up the phone.

He didn’t want Dean Qin to find out how close he was with Director Xue Yan.

The two were like siblings, and those unaware might make assumptions.

"Brother, maybe you shouldn’t drink. You’re not like us in administrative management; you perform surgeries every day, and that’s a matter of life and death. If anything were to go wrong, your future would be ruined, and I’d be to blame for that."

The dean’s assistant advised.

"No worries, although I can’t drink much, having a couple of drinks with you is not a problem."

"What about your car? Drunk driving is illegal."

"I’ll get a designated driver!"

"Right, how could I have forgotten about getting a designated driver."

The dean’s assistant gave a self-deprecating smile.

This was the first time he’d smiled after the meeting.

Zhou Can drove the car into a parking lot of a Sichuan restaurant, as the dean’s assistant was from Sichuan Province, he likely preferred Sichuan cuisine.

"Brother Zhou Can is a thoughtful person!"

He couldn’t help but marvel silently.

In the future, if Zhou Can faces any difficulties, the dean’s assistant would definitely come to his aid.

No matter the trial, he wouldn’t hesitate.

During the meal, Zhou Can specifically ordered white liquor and clinked glasses with the dean’s assistant.

Alcohol, until you start drinking, nothing to it.

Once you start, you can’t stop.

Since Dean Gao’s appointment, the dean’s assistant had been suppressed, facing pressure and exclusion at work, so he must have been very stressed.

Especially when today, on top of being openly criticized during the meeting.

He couldn’t fight back, he could only endure it.

Once he started drinking, he couldn’t stop.

The dean’s assistant downed glass after glass, and even Zhou Can couldn’t persuade him to stop.

By the time Zhou Can helped the dean’s assistant out of the restaurant, he was completely drunk.

He had to arrange a room for the dean’s assistant at a nearby hotel.

Zhou Can then had a designated driver take him home.

...

As time passes quickly, reform at Tuya Hospital continues to advance boldly.

The management structure is adjusted, departments are subdivided, and the Pharmacy Department undergoes restructuring...

The hospital welcomed several newly promoted deputy deans and four new assistant deans.

The subdivision work of the Emergency Department also proceeded smoothly and was successfully implemented.

However, it was felt that because Director Lou sided with Dean Gao, many of the old staff in clinical departments were somewhat dissatisfied. Their attitude towards the Emergency Department was noticeably less than favorable.

If Zhou Can hadn’t been in the Emergency Department and served as Deputy Director, the department would have faced isolation risks.

Zhou Can’s acquisition of the pharmaceutical department, now the Han Hun Pharmaceutical Company, led to continued emergence of research results with scientific and reasonable management, as well as a clear system of rewards and penalties.

A liver-protective tonic made a rapid rise in the health product market, like a dark horse, quickly becoming a bestseller.

Additionally, the development of a medicine for breast nodules and a black paste for treating fractures are currently undergoing approval processes. The clinical trial results are quite promising.

However, formal packaging and sales could still take one to two years of approval time.

Overall, Han Hun Pharmaceutical is gradually starting to make strides under Zhou Can’s management.

Even though it is relatively unknown now, it is believed that in three to five years, Han Hun Pharmaceutical will become a top-level TCM research and production company in China.

Zhou Can has been continuously learning and delving into the field of Neurosurgery.

With the intentional promotion by Wu Baihe, Zhou Can’s reputation in the field of Neurosurgery is growing.

The improvement in his surgical skills is also quite significant.

The only thing that frustrates him is getting stuck at a bottleneck in the Second Realm with the Fast Knife Skill and the Stable Knife Technique.

If he could break through to the Third Realm, his surgical skills would immediately leap from the director level to become one of the top experts in the country.

But taking that step is as hard as climbing to the heavens.

Unlike Dr. Xu and Director Hu Kan who practiced either the Fast Knife or the Stable Knife individually.

Zhou Can practiced both, and being able to combine these two techniques was already quite challenging. Breaking through to the Third Realm was truly difficult.

Certainly, if he could breakthrough, he would be at an unprecedented level.

By then, Tuya Hospital would produce the top ’surgical knife’ in the country, if not the world.

Over this past year and more, Zhou Can has barely concerned himself with administrative work. Instead, he has focused his time and energy on clinical medicine.

Due to this, Dean Gao hasn’t suppressed him further.
