My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 999: Chapter 395: Reconciliation and the Emergency Department’s First Expansion

After receiving Dr. Xu’s guidance, Zhou Can felt somewhat relieved.

The teacher’s surgical skills are so strong, even he has had fatalities, so Zhou Can’s missed diagnosis this time really isn’t much.

"Teacher, I now know what to do in the future."

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Can’s eyes gradually brightened again, regaining that confidence to bravely explore.

This was directly reflected in his subsequent work.

After rounds, he went to the emergency surgery room, almost unaffected.

He concentrated on completing each surgery.

Qiao Yu is a very excellent and competent surgical nurse, playing multiple roles. She single-handedly takes on the tasks of a scrub nurse, circulating nurse, and instrument nurse.

Not only does she need to accurately and timely supply the instruments and supplies needed during the surgery, but she also has to closely observe the patient’s condition changes, ensure smooth infusion and transfusion, and occasionally anticipate possible emergencies to prepare for resuscitation, assisting Zhou Can in rescuing the patient.

After surgery, she needs to count and record the quantities of gauze, drapes, stitches, and other items.

Then, she must understand the next surgical patient’s condition and surgery plan and prepare the corresponding instruments, medications, and consumables.

Luo Shishen, this young fellow, has a basketful of shortcomings. As a rookie, he can’t handle much work.

He sometimes even causes trouble, making small mistakes occasionally.

Zhou Can found it amazing that every time he wanted to scold someone, he could suppress his anger. He hasn’t scolded him even once.

Under Zhou Can’s mentoring, Luo Shishen has made noticeable progress.

Gradually, he’s doing better and better in auxiliary tasks like retraction, sterilization, and operating suction devices for blood and pus.

To truly reach a qualified level will likely require a long period of training and practice.

No way around it, these are the conditions of the Emergency Department.

Having an intern to assist is already quite good.

One can’t afford to be choosy.

One thing to confirm, tasks assigned to Luo Shishen are always completed without any half-measures. Plus, his self-esteem is quite strong, like the bad habit of asking questions without thinking that he had before. After Zhou Can talked to him, it has improved greatly.

At least he no longer treats Zhou Can like an encyclopedia.

Other incidents, such as he previously thought Qiao Yu spoke on his behalf meant she liked him, then tried to get her contact information to curry favor. After being rejected, he didn’t speak a word with Qiao Yu for the first two days.

Later, he seemed to have figured it out, and now, in normal work cooperation, he’s able not to be moody.

Privately, he hasn’t bothered Qiao Yu again.

These behaviors can be considered somewhat honorable, earning him some esteem.

If he were to have a big basket of bad habits and remain unrepentant, Zhou Can would have asked Dr. Xu to find someone else long ago.

...

After work, Zhou Can took the initiative to call Director Tang Fei of Pediatrics.

"Director Tang, how was that child finally handled?"

"After our hospital’s patient explanation and evidence presentation, the family has stated they will not pursue the matter further. We specifically invited expert orthopedists to reinforce the child’s shoulder joint with plaster. In a while, another X-ray will be taken to check the condition. It shouldn’t be a big issue; children heal fast. With about a month of rest, the fracture line should completely close."

The child’s right shoulder joint glenoid had a fracture line, likely from falling from a car.

It was just that the region is inherently hidden, and with the joint dislocated during the X-ray, one wouldn’t expect a fracture in the glenoid.

Zhou Can bears responsibility for this, but it’s hardly a mistake.

The fact that the family can understand Zhou Can means they are reasonable. Otherwise, some troublesome or greedy families might have clung to it, demanding hospital compensation.

Medical disputes are nothing new.

The resolution of this matter was fairly good.

"I’ve caused trouble for you and the hospital this time! I will definitely be more cautious in the future to avoid accidents." Zhou Can took a breath of relief while also assuring Director Tang Fei.

One must have a stance when making mistakes.

Wrong is wrong; there’s no excuse to justify.

"Don’t carry a psychological burden, just learn the lesson. Goodbye." Director Tang Fei comforted him with a few words before hanging up.

Zhou Can felt deeply moved by the Pediatric Department and the hospital’s protection and tolerance towards him.

He thought of the news he learned from Old Qin yesterday and decided to call and report this matter to the hospital leadership.

Regarding matters involving external competition, finding the new Thoracic Surgery director, Xue Yan, doesn’t serve much purpose.

All she can do is ensure the department’s stable operation, boost medical quality, and improve treatment standards as much as possible.

This matter needs to be addressed at the hospital leadership level.

It pertains to a strategic issue.

Zhou Can flipped open his phone book, found the number for Vice Director Ye who is in charge of medical operations, and directly dialed it.

Calling the Vice Director for the first time, he felt a bit nervous.

After a few rings, the phone was answered.

"Xiao Zhou, it’s the first time you’ve called me in three years, isn’t it? What’s the matter?"

Vice Director Ye actually had his phone number saved, making Zhou Can feel both flattered and surprised.

"Hello, Dean Ye, I have a matter to report to you! I’ve received reliable information that the Third Hospital has recruited a renowned cardiologist from Japan and is likely to announce it publicly in the coming days."
