My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

The fifth surgery was an emergency patient with an external injury.

There was a cut on the chin, which had been imaged, and no bone damage was found.

All it needed was debridement and suturing.

Zhou Can saw this as a great opportunity.

Suturing this patient came with basically no risk.

He decided to strive for the chance to suture, to perform exceptionally well.

Otherwise, just standing by like this, not to mention today, even tomorrow and the day after, he wouldn't expect to snatch any real training opportunities from Doctor Fu.

"Doctor Fu, may I do the suturing?"

Zhou Can gathered his courage to fight for the opportunity.

Doctor Fu looked at him, his expression somewhat relaxed.

Because the risk of this surgery was extremely low, completely manageable.

It would be a good chance to assess Zhou Can's surgical skills.

Who knew that before Doctor Fu could speak, Dr. Lu interjected, "I have worked with Dr. Zhou for two days, and while his skills are not bad, after all, he's only been in standardized training for two days. This surgery involves the facial area, which carries some risks. If not done well, it might leave behind unsightly scars. How about I demonstrate for him, Doctor Fu, would that be alright?"

In front of the patient, he disclosed that Zhou Can was a novice.

The patient's look towards Zhou Can immediately filled with disdain and contempt. Who would dare to let a novice who's only been trained for two days do their suturing?

Doctor Fu and Dr. Lu had a much closer relationship.

Colleagues for many years.

Of course, he wouldn't embarrass Dr. Lu.

Moreover, what Dr. Lu said was indeed reasonable.

"Haha, Dr. Lu is more thorough after all, let Dr. Lu do the suturing then."

Doctor Fu readily agreed.

The patient breathed a sigh of relief, swallowing back all the words of refusing Zhou Can's suturing.

Zhou Can was cursing inwardly, this Dr. Lu really was too despicable.

Knowing full well that he had independently completed even more difficult surgeries.

Yet at this critical moment, he jumped out to obstruct him from performing.

It was nothing but jealousy.

Not wanting him to gain Doctor Fu's recognition.

This way, Zhou Can would have a hard time getting opportunities to practice surgery.

"Xiao Zhou, watch closely! If it were anyone else, I definitely wouldn't teach so patiently. First check the patient's injuries..."

The more he listened, the more nauseating it became.

Such mediocre surgical skills, and yet here he was, acting as the teacher, self-righteously instructing Zhou Can on how to debride and how to suture wounds.

Zhou Can felt as if he were being force-fed crap.

Such talent not becoming an actor is simply a waste.

Actually, from yesterday on, he noticed that Dr. Lu was afraid of being surpassed by him and had already grown jealous.

He didn't expect to be tripped up directly today.

This surgery was definitely out of the question now.

If he encountered a suitable surgery next time, Dr. Lu would probably continue to hinder his progress.

That would be somewhat troublesome.

Zhou Can's status and connections were not as good as the seasoned Dr. Lu's.

Being constantly held back by this idiot was hard to break through.

The patient with the chin injury left the operating room shortly after the suturing was completed.

As for the suturing quality, well, it just barely reached the lower standard of a Resident Doctor.

This was Dr. Lu's true skill without any reservations.

I really suspected whether his senior resident's position was bought.

Normally, senior residents, especially the outstanding ones, have already achieved an excellent resident's suturing level. The slightly lesser ones, at least the average resident's suturing level.

In the path of surgery, there are no shortcuts.

You reap what you sow.

Dr. Lu is usually so lazy, he must rarely practice in private.

It's normal that his medical skills are not as good as other doctors with equal seniority.

"Xiao Zhou, how much have you learned? The technique of putting in stitches, and the way to tie knots, there's a lot to them." Dr. Lu assumed the seniority, 'advising' Zhou Can.

"Quite a lot!" Zhou Can said with a smile.

Force-fed crap, and still have to say it tastes good?

Seems like Mr. Ma does not know Zhou Can has a third eye.

"Oh, tell me and Doctor Fu about your gains," Dr. Lu's smile grew even thicker.

"For instance, if the second stitch is not tied well, it can be undone and re-stitched. Or if the needle is slightly off when catching, the suture can be tightened appropriately, and three knots can be tied to reinforce it," Zhou Can answered seriously.

Pfft!

Nurse Liu Xia almost burst out laughing.

She quickly turned her head away, but her shoulders couldn't stop shaking.

Doctor Fu also couldn't hold back a laugh, but out of consideration for Dr. Lu's face, he quickly pressed it back down.

His eyes were wide open, and his mouth was tightly pursed as if glued shut.

That expression itself was pretty funny.

Following a brief moment of astonishment, Dr. Lu's smile froze on his face and slowly faded away, his complexion turning iron-blue, fists clenched tight.

He took several deep breaths before he managed to suppress the anger in his chest.

What did Dr. Zhou do wrong?

He just answered truthfully.

It was Dr. Lu's own surgical skills that were terrible, his work careless, and yet he demanded that Zhou Can, his subordinate, lavish him with praise. Zhou Can wasn't play-dough to be shaped and manipulated at will.

He was bringing humiliation upon himself.

"Bring in the next surgical patient!"

Doctor Fu timely diffused the awkward situation for Dr. Lu.

After this incident, Dr. Lu should be more restrained, not daring to take Zhou Can for a fool again.

Some rookies are easy to bully, but some come with thorns.

"Ow...owww..."

A young man in his twenties was wheeled into the operating room, his right trouser leg torn, a large area of his jeans soaked with blood.

From experience, it should be a deep cut in the thigh from a sharp object.

Judging by the young man's clothes, he looked like a construction worker or a mechanic.

"What happened to him?"

"He had an accident with another worker while operating a grinding wheel. The wheel exploded, and a fragment pierced through his trousers into his flesh. We need to do a subcutaneous foreign body extraction surgery!"

"Did you conduct a check-up?"

"We did an X-ray, it didn't damage the bone."

"Okay, you go ahead and get busy!"

Doctor Fu took the patient's CT scans and examined them carefully.

Dr. Lu also leaned in to watch.

But Zhou Can was frowning, fixated on the patient who kept moaning.

Just at first glance, he felt something was off with this patient.

He couldn't quite put his finger on it.

The patient's complexion seemed much paler than normal, including his lips.

Plus, the blood flowing from his right leg was an exceptionally bright red.

Driven by a physician's instinct, he felt there was something abnormal about this patient.

This was because his medical skills had reached a certain level, and his diagnostic ability had improved, giving him for the first time a sharp intuition for sniffing out hidden illnesses.

To get a clearer diagnosis, Zhou Can approached the patient to take a closer look.

Seeing him constantly examining the patient, Dr. Lu tensed up.

He didn't stand a chance to grab this learning opportunity.

"The foreign object isn't embedded too deeply, so the difficulty of extraction won't be too great. Doctor Fu, why don't you let me do it?"

Usually, Dr. Lu was exceptionally lazy.

But today, he suddenly became so diligent.

Abnormal activity surely signaled a trick.

He knew exactly what Dr. Lu was up to, Zhou Can could guess even with his toes.

It was nothing more than seeing Zhou Can take an interest in this patient and worrying that Zhou Can would compete for this learning opportunity.

So, he decided to act without hesitation, aggressively seizing the opportunity before Zhou Can could speak.

"Sure! A subcutaneous foreign body extraction is just a minor level-one surgery. With the object located in the lower limb, the risk isn't high. You can definitely perform the surgery for the patient."

Doctor Fu confidently assigned the surgery to Dr. Lu.

He was secretly puzzled by Dr. Lu's proactive behavior today.

It seems a bit of competition is indeed good!

The old Dr. Lu was someone who had to be pushed to move. There wasn't a senior doctor who didn't call him lazy.

Seeing Dr. Lu become more diligent, Doctor Fu was actually quite pleased.

"You've done several surgeries this morning and must be tired. Leave this surgery to me and Xiao Zhou; you just sit down and rest a bit, and just keep an eye on us."

Dr. Lu had many flaws, but he was exceptionally proficient at sucking up to his superiors.

At least he got along well with several senior doctors.

To sum it up, he tended to be the type who bullied the weak but fawned over the strong.

"Xiao Zhou, cut the patient's pants and clean the surgical area."

He unceremoniously ordered Zhou Can to assist.
