My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 988: Chapter 391: Gaining Some Fame in Pediatrics and Conversation Skills (Part 2)

She just replied with an emoji.

Journalists have to rush to write news articles and conduct interviews every day; some even have to report on camera. Someone like her, a beautiful female journalist, might also get invited by station leaders to accompany them to banquets. She’s extremely busy all day long.

She must be particularly busy at this moment.

After agreeing with her, Zhou Can directly called the Pediatric Department Director, Tang Fei.

The assistance for this child shouldn’t be short-term, but should be long-term, until he reaches adulthood. Issues like living and studying require longer-term help.

If the child’s treatment can be supported by the hospital’s charity aid, Zhou Can can use the funds initially intended for the child’s treatment to solve his living difficulties and future educational expenses.

"Hello, Director Tang!"

"Dr. Zhou, what can I do for you?"

"A female journalist approached me requesting help for a seven-year-old boy who lost his parents. This little boy likely has aplastic anemia..."

Zhou Can didn’t hide anything and explained the situation in detail.

"What do you need me to do for you?"

Director Tang Fei asked directly.

As the director of the Pediatric Department, she manages multiple sub-departments and has seen many patients in unfortunate situations.

After hearing about the boy’s background, she seemed relatively calm.

"I would like to ask you to help apply for the hospital’s charitable treatment for this little boy, and later, the female journalist can initiate a fundraising effort to resolve part of the treatment expenses. The hospital’s charity group can cover another portion, and I personally will fund the child’s future living and educational expenses."

Faced with such matters, Zhou Can can only help as best as he can.

He can bear the full burden alone, but it wouldn’t benefit more people in need.

Doing charity itself is a matter of strategy; if not done wisely, it can only assist very few people, or it might even result in criticism or insults from others.

"First, send me the child’s information; if he qualifies, I’ll submit the application."

Tang Fei seemed to agree preliminarily to help with this matter.

"Thank you! Thank you, Director Tang!"

Zhou Can felt very happy.

This matter is basically resolved.

For Zhou Can, it’s just a very small matter, but for that little boy, it’s a ray of light in the darkness. His life and destiny will undergo a complete transformation.

...

The following day, Zhou Can went to the Pediatric clinic for consultations.

"Good morning, Dr. Zhou!"

"It would be great if Dr. Zhou could come to work in our Pediatric Department every day! Many patients often specifically inquire about your appointments!"

"Dr. Zhou looks particularly handsome today!"

The doctors and nurses in the Pediatric Department enthusiastically greeted him.

The department has more female doctors, and some female interns or unmarried trainees or resident doctors show particular interest in Zhou Can as a potential prospect.

Every time they meet, they are particularly warm.

Arriving at Consultation Room No.17, the guiding nurse outside is still Zhou Yanqing.

She has a very good relationship with Zhou Can.

"Dr. Zhou, all these patients are waiting for your appointment; you’ll be very busy today!"

Zhou Yanqing has already gathered the patients’ medical records, stacking them thickly—at least more than thirty books.

"It is my honor that patients and their families trust me. No problem, just call in one patient at a time in order. The usual practice, pay extra attention to the patients waiting; if you encounter acute or severe cases, prioritize them for consultation."

Zhou Can instructed her.

"No problem!"

She has collaborated with Zhou Can numerous times, fully understanding his working style.

Zhou Can hadn’t yet settled in when the first patient’s family already came in holding their two- or three-year-old child.

"Dr. Zhou, I heard from my cousin about your excellent medical skills and made a special trip to register for your appointment."

The woman is a thirty-six or thirty-seven-year-old lady.

She speaks with a slightly curled tongue, her face full of anxiety.

The little girl in her arms looks painfully distressed.

"Please sit down, don’t worry."

Zhou Can had already noticed the child’s pale complexion. He first used a stethoscope to listen to the child’s heartbeat, then moved the stethoscope’s probe down to the child’s abdomen.

"Is she suffering from abdominal pain?"

"Yes, yes, you indeed have real skills; my daughter has been complaining about stomach pain for the last couple of days. Last night she was writhing in pain on the bed, it was truly frightening."

The middle-aged woman looked at Zhou Can with eyes full of admiration and respect.

Zhou Can didn’t need to ask about the symptoms directly; realizing the child is suffering from stomach pain was miraculous in her view.

"You should have brought her to the hospital earlier; if a child has just short-term abdominal pain, which eases after passing stool or resting for a while, then it’s no big problem. But seeing your daughter’s pale face and sweaty forehead, it indicates she’s currently in extreme distress. I’ll prescribe three tests for you, hurry and take her for them. After the tests, no need to queue again, bring the results directly to me here."

After completing the physical examination for the little girl, Zhou Can didn’t ask many questions but urged the parents to take their child for tests promptly.

His experience from long consultation hours is incomparable to his initial novice state.

Nowadays, many children as soon as they enter his clinic, with just a glance or two, he can largely deduce the symptoms and causes without asking.

Necessary tests must be conducted; it’s part of the procedure.

They help avoid misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis, and serve as the basis for medication prescriptions or surgical plans.

Diagnosing and treating patients isn’t about doctors prescribing whatever they want at will. As for surgeries, they are even stricter, requiring multiple evaluations to meet surgical criteria before proceeding.
