Chapter 1596 650: Hearing Impairment Patients, the Impact of Vascular Changes on Nerves

The appearance of Zhou Can forced these two to communicate.

Some neurological diseases require the combined efforts of Internal Medicine and Surgery to conquer them.

Zhou Can had no choice. In order to have these two top-tier experts in Neurology and Neurosurgery help with a consultation, he could only act as a messenger between them. It was impossible to have them sit together in a consultation room for a joint consultation.

They might end up fighting with just one disagreement.

In terms of physique, Wu Baihe from Neurosurgery is short but vigorous, while Director Yin Hua from Neurology is much taller but lacks physical training, making him relatively frail.

If they really fight, Director Yin Hua would probably end up disadvantaged.

Upon returning from the Song family, Zhou Can still did not receive a reply.

Being anxious about it was useless. If the patient's family does not agree to the treatment, there's nothing anyone can do.

Moreover, the Song family is not an ordinary family.

Zhou Can's diagnostic skills were infinitely close to the Level 7 realm. To be more assured in treating Mr. Song, he set aside a lot of time to focus on various complex cases.

He even changed the routine ward rounds of the Emergency Department from twice a day to once a day.

Later, it was changed to once every two days.

He had long intended to delegate these tasks to other doctors.

Because in almost every department, once reaching the level of deputy director or higher, one generally does not handle these trivial matters anymore. One must learn to let go when necessary.

Otherwise, one would end up exhausted to death like Zhuge Liang.

Being hands-on with everything, one must yield to reality.

A director's ward round is usually once a week, with Monday being the general ward round time for all departmental directors.

There is a reasoning behind this arrangement.

Having freed up time, Zhou Can has more time to delve into those complex cases and learn relevant medical knowledge.

In just about six days, his diagnostic skills successfully advanced from Level 6 to Level 7.

At the moment of breakthrough, he was both excited and thrilled; years of effort finally bore a big fruit.

Level 7 diagnostic skills, and almost in a comprehensive diagnostic scope, is likely unprecedented in the medical field.

[Pathological Diagnosis, Level 7, current Experience Points 1/10,000,000. Level 1 Expert Rank.] Skilled in diagnosing cases in Pediatrics, Cardiothoracic Surgery, General Surgery, Emergency and Critical Cases, Neurosurgery, Neurology, Digestive Internal Medicine and Surgery, and Orthopedics.

It can be seen that the fields he is skilled in are already very numerous.

One could say it is a bountiful harvest.

After reaching Level 7, it is at the expert level.

Higher than the level of a chief physician.

Diagnosing various diseases is almost effortless.

Especially in disease diagnosis in his areas of expertise, sometimes even without needing imaging or lab tests, just a glance at the patient and asking about the symptoms could make a diagnosis that's nearly spot on.

After successfully elevating pathological diagnosis to Level 7, Zhou Can can clearly feel a sense of invincibility among experts during his consultations.

Among the cases he received, some were quite challenging, but once in his hands, they were pretty much a sure diagnosis.

And diagnosing them was effortless.

Conditions that previously required racking his brain or even inviting experts from other departments for joint consultations were now more easily diagnosed independently.

The tests he ordered for patients were fewer and more targeted.

In Internal Medicine diagnostics, it's often about first testing blood or urine, and then by checking the results, you can basically lock in the location of the lesion. Next, you take an image of the lesion area to confirm the cause.

Some cases require a biopsy for testing, which is fine after a pathology check.

After a morning of consultations, Zhou Can found that Level 7 pathological diagnosis was indeed very satisfying.

And diagnosing patients was getting more efficient.

Experienced senior doctors would usually first conduct a physical examination and inquire about the patient's history, then come up with an initial diagnosis direction in their minds. They would then order the appropriate examinations and further diagnose based on the results.

The less experienced the doctor, the more tests they order.

This is a necessary phenomenon.

Due to the poor current medical environment, doing more tests not only increases departmental income but also minimizes the potential for misdiagnosis.

In fact, even if the level isn't sufficient, doing a full-body examination on the patient still carries the risk of misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis.

The reason expert appointments are so expensive and hard to come by is naturally justified.

Zhou Can checked the time and saw it was already past twelve noon.

He had added over twenty patients.

There's no other way; his reputation is already very high. Whenever he holds a consultation, patients from all over the country come to seek his opinion.

Some patients arrived days early, staying in hotels, and had at least one family member accompanying them.

This is very challenging.

Zhou Can could sympathize with their hardships.

Seeing these patients travel thousands of miles, suffering from illnesses and enduring pain, while dealing with significant daily expenses, it's indeed unreasonable not to add them in.

Compassion grows from the heart.

To empathize with others is to be like Buddha.

Precisely because Zhou Can shows exceptional compassion to his patients, deeply empathizing with their suffering, his reputation continues to improve.

Among patients and families who have consulted with him, at least eight out of ten praise his superb medical skills and noble medical ethics.

"Director Zhou, there's a patient outside who says they have a hearing problem and would like you to take a look. I've explained to the family that Director Zhou's appointments for today are already filled, but they're insisting on requesting your help,"

the guide nurse said to Zhou Can as she walked in.

"Add them in!"
