My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 913: Chapter 363: This Is Talent—A Single Bloom Does Not Make Spring

Modern technology is advanced, and with the help of the internet and self-media platforms, information spreads quickly. The competition among hospitals has become even more fierce.

Xinxiang Women and Children’s Hospital, a large specialty hospital, was on the brink of bankruptcy in just two short years due to a pregnant woman’s death incident.

Tuya Hospital, despite having deep roots and its cardiothoracic surgery diagnostics doing consistently well, can decline rapidly without an anchor, often in just a year or two.

Sometimes it might only take a few months to fall apart.

“I will definitely work hard, because pursuing higher medical skills is my hobby and my lifelong career. But you know, improving surgical skills in cardiothoracic surgery is very difficult without ten or more years of work. I fear disappointing you and the expectations of the other chief physicians.”

Though Zhou Can has a medical experience points system and is naturally talented, he also puts in a lot of effort.

However, the training period for cardiothoracic surgeons is especially long.

Many doctors quietly engage in diligent study and practice for over twenty years before achieving notable accomplishment.

“Xiao Zhou, your growth speed is much faster than ordinary doctors. Particularly, the speed of your surgical advancement is the fastest I’ve ever seen in my life. As long as you are willing to study hard, I believe that in four to five years, you’ll be able to reach a considerable height. At least you can complete the critical parts of most high-difficulty surgeries.”

Director Hu Kan values him greatly.

His expectations for Zhou Can even exceed those for Director Xue Yan, Director Le, and others.

“Today’s ventricular folding surgery is a good opportunity to prove that our Cardiothoracic Surgery Department’s surgical strength hasn’t declined. So, I hope everyone gives their utmost effort to ensure a successful operation.”

Director Hu Kan’s gaze swept over everyone present.

For this department, performing a high-impact high-difficulty surgery is urgently needed.

“Do you all have confidence?”

“Yes!”

Their responses sounded listless, clearly lacking confidence.

“Do you have confidence? Speak louder!” Director Hu Kan’s face showed anger.

“Yes!”

This time, their responses were much louder.

However, increasing surgical strength can’t be achieved just by shouting louder.

…

Inside the operating room, the first surgery was the removal of a foreign object from the lung.

The patient was twenty-eight years old, a robust young man. According to the patient’s family, taking cold medicine during pregnancy led to the child being born with intellectual disabilities. A man close to thirty, his intelligence was less than that of a three-year-old child.

Basically, as long as he could eat something, when he was hungry, he would pick it up and put it in his mouth when he saw it.

Currently, it was unclear what the foreign object lodged in the patient’s lung actually was.

It was only known as an irregularly shaped object, approximately 1.2CM in diameter.

The family even didn’t know how it entered the patient’s lung.

Initially suspected to have been aspirated into the trachea due to coughing, then traveled down the trachea into the lung. It was likely made of metal.

An attempt had been made to remove the object using a bronchoscope, but it failed.

Unable to do anything, the family brought the patient to Tuya Hospital for treatment. The surgical plan provided by Tuya Hospital was traditional thoracic surgery to remove the foreign object.

According to the inspection results, the foreign object stuck in the lung had already caused some degree of pneumonia.

The patient was coughing heavily.

Without timely treatment, it was sure to have more severe consequences.

So, the family was very anxious.

“Xiao Zhou, is there any problem with you performing this surgery?”

“I can give it a try.”

Zhou Can had even performed a lobectomy before; thus, he was entirely capable of challenging this lung foreign object removal surgery.

Moreover, his Stable Knife Technique had finally reached its inception during practice yesterday.

Today was a great opportunity to test its practical effect.

“You can be the primary surgeon! I’ll be there to guide you,”

Director Hu Kan had absolute authority, and when he said Zhou Can should be the primary surgeon, naturally, no one objected.

Zhou Can put on sterile gloves and stood in the primary surgeon’s position.

Receiving the surgical knife handed by the instrument nurse, he effortlessly made an incision into the planned surgical area.

[Fast Knife Skill Experience Points +1, Stable Knife Technique Experience Points +1, Incision Skill Experience Points +1.]

With one stroke, he increased experience points in three different medical skills, which felt extremely satisfying.

“Oh!”

Standing beside him, Director Hu Kan could not help but open his eyes wide in surprise, staring intently at Zhou Can. An expression of extreme delight blossomed on his face.

Because he noticed the knife technique Zhou Can executed was obviously different from before.

Director Hu Kan had immersed himself in the Stable Knife Technique his entire life, renowned as the most stable knife in cardiothoracic surgery, and was particularly sensitive to knife techniques. Zhou Can’s knife technique had made a significant breakthrough, and Hu Kan could immediately see it.

But Director Xue Yan, Director Le and others failed to notice it.

This was because their level was still too shallow, and their observation skills were insufficient to see it.

“That knife is very stable! Mature men often have slumped shoulders and slightly hunched backs when walking because they carry responsibilities. This knife technique follows the same philosophy; when the knife strikes, it seems to bear an invisible mountain, representing both responsibility and stability. This is a glimpse of the Stable Knife Technique’s mystery. My disciples, whether it’s the newly received Jin Mingxi or the chief physicians, although their mastery of the technique is profound, they lack this insight.”

While rejoicing for Zhou Can, Director Hu Kan sighed inwardly.

Talent can’t be forced.
