My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 47 - 41 Discussing Military Strategy on Paper

"The basis for the diagnosis is very simple, just this head CT scan and some subtle changes in the blood test results. When I studied abroad, my PhD supervisor taught us to diagnose whether there was an aneurysm by combining blood test results with imaging. Specifically, where does it occur? Just as an increase in troponin makes us immediately think of myocardial infarction. This involves very complex formula calculations, which I will not go into in detail."

Du Leng spoke at ease, his diagnostic approach also differs from the ordinary.

"To quickly pinpoint the location of the aneurysm, and to assess its size and extent of disease, I think it is necessary to perform a head ultrasonography."

Ultrasonography has the ability to observe changes in blood flow and can diagnose arterial sclerosis, cerebral vasospasm, cerebral vascular narrowing, and flow velocity.

This proposal immediately received the approval of all the directors present.

Unbeknownst to them, everyone realized that in a situation with so many directors and attending physicians jointly consulting, it was Du Leng, a resident in training, who had taken the lead.

The two directors from surgery were genuinely pleased.

While the directors from other departments, in addition to envy, felt a mix of complicated emotions. They felt the crisis of being left behind by the times.

Zhou Can had been standing by the emergency bed, carefully observing the pregnant woman.

Inspection and pulse diagnosis are different; both Western and Chinese medicine recognize them as diagnostic methods.

No matter which doctor you see, inspection is always the first step.

Now that the patient was about to be sent for a head ultrasonography, Zhou Can finally stepped aside, his curiosity not fully satisfied.

With the cause of the disease largely clear, the directors felt much more relaxed.

Director Xie's gaze turned to Zhou Can again.

A slight, somewhat smug smile appeared on his face.

"Director Lou, I heard that the doctor you chose, Zhou Can, just earned a great merit for the Emergency Department on his first day back. Is that true?"

"That's correct."

Director Lou nodded in affirmation, a hint of anxiety across his face as he subconsciously shielded Zhou Can behind him. He was afraid Director Xie would poach the good seedling from the Emergency Department.

Director Xie seemed to have very good sources of information.

It indicated that he was paying attention to Zhou Can as well.

After all, everyone has a desire to compare themselves with others.

He chose Du Leng, who had the highest education, over Zhou Can, who had the top overall score, and he too feared making a wrong judgment.

However, Du Leng's performance just now was extremely impressive, so Director Xie was very happy.

It meant he hadn't chosen the wrong person.

"Haha, don't worry, with Du Leng, a doctorate who studied abroad, in our surgery department, we wouldn't dream of poaching an undergraduate! No need to be tense, ha."

Director Xie's remark was somewhat hurtful to Zhou Can's pride.

Perhaps he was too pleased with himself, straightforward and candid, without considering Zhou Can's feelings.

Realizing that Zhou Can looked downcast and aggrieved,

Dr. Xu looked at Director Xie and said,

"Education does not represent everything. I can't agree with Director Xie's view that undergraduates are far inferior to doctoral students."

Dr. Xu was indeed stubborn, even daring to rebut the head of a major surgery department.

Zhou Can was just a junior resident, and it was quite normal for him to face some grievances. Dr. Xu could have taken a prudent stance and ignored the situation. But instead, he spoke out for Zhou Can, which reflected his character.

If he didn't speak for Zhou Can, no second person would risk offending a head of a large department for Zhou Can's sake.

Many people don't realize how powerful a head of a large department is.

Their administrative titles could basically be on par with the hospital's executive leadership.

Because they hold sway over key departments and also have high achievements in academia and medical skills. Thus, they are akin to 'provincial governors' of sorts.

Director Xie glanced at Dr. Xu, somewhat surprised.

He seemed not to expect Dr. Xu to defend Zhou Can like this.

He sighed and said with a complex expression, "Old Xu, the era of dominating everything with medical skills is long gone. Your fall back in the day was both accidental and inevitable. The importance of academia has surpassed that of medical skills in today's rapidly advancing medical science. It's time you woke up!"

The seemingly heartfelt advice was actually quite uncomfortable to hear.

Zhou Can saw Dr. Xu's face turn desolate, even revealing a touch of heart-wrenching sorrow.

The decline of a hero is a heavy topic.

One who experiences it has to endure the psychological plummet from a loss of status, the disappearance of reputation and glory, along with the double wounds of ridicule from others.

Dr. Xu was under attack for protecting Zhou Can from humiliation.

At this moment, Zhou Can felt grateful and wanted to use his modest strength to repay the most respectable person in his eyes.

He would no longer remain silent.

What of the head of a major surgery department?

Within ten years, Zhou Can was absolutely confident that he would make Director Xie look up to him. Of course, whether Director Xie could still sit in the position of the head of major surgery by then was another matter.

"Director Xie, I agree with the idea of keeping up with the times. But there's no need to worship everything foreign, right? China's medical civilization has a long and storied history of over five thousand years. Medical skills and medicine have always been recognized by the medical community as the two magic weapons to triumph over diseases. How come they seem so belittled in Director Xie's words? Don't forget, surgery relies on medical skills for its bread and butter, without a scalpel, it's nothing."

Zhou Can's words were brilliantly put.

If the circumstances had been different, everyone would surely have applauded him.

Director Xie, who has always earned his living with a scalpel, now after bringing in a doctorate holder from abroad, has become so arrogant that he seems to have forgotten his own roots.

"You, you..."

Director Xie, who already had a bit of a temper, was left speechless by the rebuttal from this young man, Zhou Can, his face turned red and his neck swelled in anger.

"Alright, alright, Xiao Zhou is just straightforward, focusing on the issue, not the person. Director Xie doesn't need to take it too seriously." Director Lou played peacemaker with his words, but his face bore a smile.

Seeing the usually dominant Director Xie take a hit brought him particular joy.

Of course, since everyone present had status and reputation, it was important to save face.

So he promptly stepped forward to offer Director Xie a way out.

To avoid a complete fallout.

The matter could have ended there, but perhaps Du Leng, seeing Director Xie unable to win the argument against Zhou Can, felt that the prestige of surgery had been challenged.

So he stood up again.

"As for equating educational credentials, academics, and the status of medical skills, I disagree. Take the diagnosis of the pregnant woman just now, wasn't the Emergency Department completely at a loss?"

Du Leng, this guy, true to his high IQ and education, was incredibly sharp with his words.

He hit the nail on the head, directly exposing the Emergency Department's shortcomings.

And he struck right at their vital spot.

The doctors in the Emergency Department all felt disgraced, ashamed in their hearts.

"Dr. Du's words are a bit too much! We in the Emergency Department were not at a loss; it's just that human life is at stake, and we didn't dare to jump to conclusions based on the principle of caution."

Deputy Director Han, annoyed by the comment, quickly came to the defense of the Emergency Department.

Although his explanation was somewhat far-fetched, when the face of the Emergency Department was at stake, one could not simply allow a junior to slap them in the face, could they?

Even a shred of dignity to cover up was better than nothing.

At least they hadn't lost all face.

"Ha, Director Han might have a misunderstanding of the word 'cautious'. It is right to be meticulous in diagnosing and treating patients, but one cannot dawdle; otherwise, if the patients die while you're still arguing back and forth, wouldn't that be the epitome of medical incompetence?"

This time, Dr. Du completely ripped away Deputy Director Han's fig leaf.

But everyone was civilized, and outright cursing was certainly not an option.

Sneering a few times, ridiculing and despising one's opponent, that's a common phenomenon in hospitals.

The doctors of the Emergency Department, one after another, felt disgraced and furious.

Being called incompetent and yet unable to retort.

Their feelings can only be imagined.

Suffocated and helpless.

For some reason, Zhou Can found this Du Leng particularly disagreeable.

It wasn't even due to jealousy of his higher education.

He just couldn't stand the guy's holier-than-thou, arrogant demeanor.

"Dr. Du's words sound like those of a greenhorn, who has never experienced the dangers of saving lives in the Emergency Department. Hasty errors are easily made in emergencies; our Emergency Department doctors being cautious in their conclusions is not necessarily a bad thing. These are valuable experiences learned from bloody lessons that a novice like you should especially take to heart."

Zhou Can never swore when insulting someone.

He just took a dig at Dr. Du's lack of experience, knocking him down hard.

Leaving him no ground to get back up.

"What do you mean by that, Dr. Zhou?" Du Leng's face turned shades of green.

But his composure was quite good, suppressing the fury within him.

"Nothing much, I just want to tell Dr. Du that there is a quite a difference between theory and practice. After all, one is all talk, while the other requires real, hands-on action."

Zhou Can replied nonchalantly.

Haha!

Many doctors and nurses couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Especially those from the Emergency Department, who felt thoroughly refreshed from head to toe.

Zhou Can said everything they wanted to say, but couldn't find the words for, vividly and in detail.

This Du Leng, thinking he's so great just because he studied and stayed abroad for a few years.

He even dared to lecture all the doctors in the Emergency Department.

Zhou Can using the term "armchair strategist" to retaliate against him was truly brilliant!
