My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

The first to come in was a female nurse around thirty-five or thirty-six years old. With a round face and a stout figure, she appeared quite sturdy.

"Dr. Xu hasn't gotten off work yet!"

The female nurse greeted with a smile.

"I was chatting a bit more with these two doctors under my wing, so I'm a little later than usual."

After explaining, Dr. Xu's gaze shifted to the two who entered afterward.

One was Dr. Lu, and the other had an average height, Shou-character eyebrows, and was about forty-five years old, with a rather amiable face.

"Doctor Fu arrives right on time!"

"Haha, Dr. Xu is my senior after all, it would be impolite to be late! Are these two the new trainees joining the Emergency Department?" Doctor Fu chuckled, sizing up Zhou Can and Jin Mingxi.

"This is Dr. Jin Mingxi and this is Dr. Zhou Can!"

Dr. Xu said as he introduced them.

"Nice to meet you, Doctor Fu!"

Jin Mingxi and Zhou Can greeted in unison.

This was also a sign of respect from the juniors to their seniors.

"Haha, nice to meet you guys! I've heard our Emergency Department has recruited two strong new members. It's better to see once than hear a hundred times; today, I finally witness your elegance!"

Doctor Fu was easier to get along with than anticipated.

And quite cheerful.

"Doctor Fu, I have a favor to ask. Zhou Can wants to stay and learn more and insisted that I greet you on his behalf. Do you think you could let him train in the operating room with you?"

When Dr. Xu made a promise, it was two words—reliable.

Whenever Zhou Can asked him for anything, as long as he agreed, he would definitely take it to heart.

Having such a down-to-earth superior was definitely Zhou Can's good fortune.

Many superiors act high and mighty in front of newcomers, utterly aloof. Not to mention asking them for favors, even consulting them on medical questions depends on their mood.

"No problem at all! Having an extra helper is a good thing."

It was Dr. Xu's influence that won Doctor Fu over without hesitation.

"Since Dr. Xu has suggested that he should be trained, he must have faith in his surgical skills. I also heard that Dr. Zhou achieved significant accomplishments just two days after joining the Emergency Department. Give me a rundown, so I know what to expect."

Doctor Fu's smile faded from his face.

His tone became much more serious.

This attitude clearly signaled to Dr. Xu that the introduction needed to be objective, without any exaggeration.

"He's reliable in his work, with suture skills comparable to a resident doctor with two to three years of experience. His surgical experience is lacking, but his diagnostic ability is exceptional. That's about it. In short, seeing is believing—you can judge his abilities yourself before you arrange more training opportunities for him. If it doesn't work out, feel free to stop anytime."

Dr. Xu's assessment of Zhou Can was fairly reserved.

This was for the betterment of both parties.

If anything went wrong, he, as the referrer, would be somewhat responsible.

"Good!"

Doctor Fu felt reassured.

Dr. Xu, along with Jin Mingxi and the others, started to leave the operating room.

"Goodbye, Dr. Zhou!"

Qiao Yu waved goodbye to Zhou Can.

After getting to know more about Zhou Can, she seemed to admire this peer even more. Their relationship also grew a lot through two days of collaboration.

"Bye!"

Zhou Can waved and gave her a grin showing his teeth.

"By the way, I'm on the night shift tomorrow. After we calculate the milk tea payment, you can send it to my mobile!" Saying so, she took out her phone and tapped on the screen a few times. "Scan this, let's be friends."

As soon as Dr. Lu entered the operating room, his eyes had been spinning around Qiao Yu.

Now, seeing Qiao Yu actively asking Zhou Can to add her on WeChat, his effeminate face turned green on the spot.

But this man was quite scheming.

His heart was full of jealousy, yet he didn't rush forward in a fit of rage to stop them.

Instead, he took a deep breath, as if changing faces in a Sichuan opera, suppressing his anger. He squeezed out a slightly unnatural smile.

Similarly, he took out his phone and moved closer.

"Qiao Yu, aren't you writing a thesis? How about we add each other as friends too, and you can message me with any surgical questions. With me, a senior resident doctor, personally teaching you, your thesis will surely pass."

Dr. Lu had a very thick skin when pursuing girls.

But the reason he cited was quite good.

At least there's a legitimate reason, so people won't look down on me.

"Thanks, Dr. Lu, for your enthusiastic help. I see you're quite busy usually; I really don't want to disturb you. Now that I've added Dr. Zhou as a friend, I can consult him about surgical questions in the future, too!"

Qiao Yu smiled her thanks to Dr. Lu while her phone screen naturally went dark.

"This, this..." Dr. Lu wanted to say something more to save the situation.

"Goodbye, Dr. Lu!"

She already waved goodbye with a smile.

Leaving Dr. Lu with only a pretty back view.

Dr. Lu's expression was like that of a student confident on results day, thinking he aced it. Then, checking the score, "What the heck, only 200 points?" All his joy doused with a bucket of cold water.

You can imagine how that felt.

Zhou Can almost burst out laughing at his crappy expression.

These days, every girl is a master at giving out friend-zoned cards. When encountering unwanted suitors, they don't offend but politely hand out a friend-zoned card with a smile.

Or like Yang Chan, adept at feeding soft nails.

Dr. Lu couldn't add Qiao Yu as a WeChat friend but didn't give up. His mind was particularly bright when it came to things like this.

He turned to look at Zhou Can.

"Dr. Zhou, since you've added Qiao Yu on WeChat, can you share her contact card with me?"

Such a request; can't believe he had the nerve to ask.

Does he see Zhou Can as Wudalang? Everyone here's a single, unmarried man. Why would he think Zhou Can would just hand over the girl to him?

Really, I don't know where he gets his sense of superiority and confidence.

"Don't you want to improve your medical skills? Later on, I can give you some guidance."

Seeing that he got no response, Dr. Lu immediately offered some incentives.

Zhou Can almost laughed out loud like a pig.

He knew exactly what Dr. Lu's level was. It was more likely a question of who could teach whom.

"Sorry, out of respect and protection for women, I'm afraid I can't comply with Dr. Lu's request. If Dr. Lu really wants to add her as a friend, I can pass on the message for you. With your handsome looks and being a high-year resident at Tuya Hospital at such a young age, I believe she will definitely give it serious consideration."

Friend-zoned cards cost nothing; Zhou Can also handed one out to him.

Better to offend a gentleman than a petty person.

Better to avoid offending such people as much as possible.

But asking Zhou Can to share Qiao Yu's WeChat contact card with Dr. Lu, such a scoundrel act, he would never do it.

"Mm, then please speak highly of me, Dr. Zhou. If it works out, I'll have your back in the future." Dr. Lu put on airs like a senior.

Painting a big pie for Zhou Can, the workplace newbie.

But he didn't consider that with Dr. Xu as a mentor, did Zhou Can really need the protection of a half-baked resident like him?

Speak human with humans, ghost-talk with ghosts.

Zhou Can, of course, readily agreed.

"Liu Xia, get ready for surgery! Dr. Lu, you'll be my first assistant, and Dr. Zhou, you stand by and learn. If there's anything unclear, you can ask me anytime."

Doctor Fu made a series of surgical arrangements.

Despite hearing about Zhou Can's exceptional performance, without having witnessed his skills firsthand, he was still very cautious when assigning surgical duties.

Zhou Can understood.

Such things can't be rushed. Trust has to be built step by step.

Doctor Fu agreed to let him observe and allowed him to ask questions at any time. This was already a great privilege.

Soon, surgery patients began to come in one after the other.

Almost all of them were Level 1 minor surgeries.

An occasional Level 2 hemorrhoidectomy was considered a pretty advanced surgery.

Zhou Can humbly learned, carefully observing Doctor Fu's surgical steps and methods.

Different doctors have different surgical styles.

Doctor Fu's surgeries felt on the rough side.

Dr. Xu's surgical style was more delicate. Perhaps due to past incidents, he deliberately maintained a refined style to constantly remind himself.

After watching four surgeries in a row, Zhou Can basically figured out Doctor Fu's surgical capabilities.

Compared to Dr. Xu, there was a big gap.

At over forty years old, his surgical level barely reached the Chief Level.

The staffing situation in the Emergency Department is really something.

It feels like the whole Emergency Department is a 'garbage' shelter, where all the 'old, weak, sick, and disabled' from various departments are stuffed.
