My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 59 - 53: Seamless Suture

"I'm really sorry, I do have to work on my thesis. Plus... anything you want to say can be said in the hospital! No need to go to such expense!"

Qiao Yu said with a forced smile, not wanting to offend him.

Although nurses and doctors are part of two different systems, in the workplace, doctors are in a leading position.

Especially a resident doctor like Dr. Lu, who has some minor authority due to his seniority.

And she was just a backup nurse in the operating room.

Moreover, she was a resident-in-training, not an official nurse.

She was afraid that Dr. Lu, in a fit of pique, might intentionally make things difficult for her at work. That's why she kept a smiling face and tactfully declined.

Dr. Xu didn't intend to meddle in such matters.

Actually, the hospital wouldn't interfere either.

Personal love life, the institution has no right to intrude.

Her reluctance to reject him assertively also had a brutal reality behind it.

In disputes between doctors and nurses, if escalated, the hospital often sides with the doctors. Because doctors can generate more benefits for the hospital, they are the core talents of the institution.

The training period and cost for a doctor are both far higher than those for a nurse.

A renowned doctor can support an entire department, while even a top-level chief nurse practitioner ultimately only does nursing work, perhaps not even valued as highly as an attending physician.

This isn't to belittle nurses, but merely to state the harsh truth hidden beneath the veneer of equality.

After nurses reach 45, the vast majority either change careers or take some retirement-like nominal positions. But look at doctors, even at ninety, as long as they can still work, they would be rehired by the hospital and treated with great respect.

Not to mention the social status comparison.

Qiao Yu was a very clever girl. In order to keep her work smooth, in the face of Dr. Lu's advances, she preferred to smile and gently decline, to negotiate, rather than easily tear off the mask and spoil the relationship.

Dr. Lu seemed a bit displeased by her public refusals for the second time.

He joked, "Qiao Yu, you wouldn't happen to be interested in Dr. Zhou, would you?"

Zhou Can was caught off guard and quite speechless.

Qiao Yu sneakily glanced at Zhou Can before hurriedly denying, "What are you talking about! Dr. Zhou is so outstanding, he must have a girlfriend already, don't make wild guesses!"

Dr. Lu curled his lip, "I don't buy it! You even took the initiative to ask him to treat you to milk tea, I heard it all."

While assisting Dr. Xu, he multitasked, eavesdropping on the whispered conversation between Zhou Can and Qiao Yu.

Dr. Lu sure had sharp ears.

"Hehe... That was just a joke between Dr. Zhou and me! Ah, it's past four o'clock, gotta go! See you, ladies, goodbye, doctors!"

Qiao Yu clearly didn't want to continue the interaction with Dr. Lu, she waved her hand and left directly.

Dr. Lu's expression looked a bit grim, he changed clothes and then left the operating room.

Judging by his expression, he probably wouldn't give up just yet.

"Fresh meat like Dr. Zhou is always popular! No female nurse has ever asked me to buy them milk tea!"

After Dr. Lu left, Jin Mingxi joked with Zhou Can while laughing.

The two were just colleagues now, with great mutual admiration.

Jin Mingxi initiating a joke with him was probably to bridge the gap between them.

Before Zhou Can could respond, Tang Ling and another nurse quickly said, "Hehe, Dr. Jin, we'll definitely fulfill your wish. I want strawberry milk tea."

"I like the Pu'er rose milk tea, thank you!"

The two female nurses were savvy, not missing the chance for free milk tea.

They immediately cornered Jin Mingxi.

"Hey, come on! That's robbery in broad daylight!"

Jin Mingxi protested in frustration.

"We're clearly helping you accomplish your wish, no backing out now! Right, Dr. Zhou?"

Tang Ling suppressed a laugh and winked at Zhou Can.

She meant for Zhou Can to play along.

"Absolutely, I can vouch for that, and so can my mentor."

Zhou Can nodded repeatedly.

Others would never dare to bring Dr. Xu into this, but Zhou Can, seeing Dr. Xu was quite serious, wanted to involve him in the vivacity of the youth.

"That's young people's business, I'm not getting involved."

Dr. Xu, with some effort, stood up from the stool, supporting his waist.

Zhou Can promptly went over to assist him.

"Mentor, from now on, please entrust me with any work that I am capable of handling. Even for tasks I can't manage yet, I will try hard to improve and strive to take on more for you someday."

His words were not flattery but came from genuine care and concern.

Dr. Xu was older and certainly not as robust as a young man.

If Zhou Can could help share some of the workload, he could have it easier.

"Mm, I'm gratified that you feel this way. However, you can only eat one bite at a time, and medical skills cannot be achieved overnight. You must not become complacent and think of skipping steps just because you have some talent."

While feeling reassured, Dr. Xu did not forget to admonish him.

"I will certainly bear your teachings in mind."

Zhou Can answered earnestly.

When he first came to the Emergency Department, his mindset was indeed a bit anxious. After acing the residency exam at the top of his class and performing a significant feat in the Emergency Department, his head got slightly big due to youth.

However, after being lectured by Dr. Xu the day before, he had recognized his errors and quickly adjusted his attitude.

He considered himself fairly composed at the moment.

Just then, the triage nurse pushed open the door of the operating room and poked her head out asking, "Dr. Xu, there's another injured person here, can you work overtime to stitch her up?"

"Let her in!"

Dr. Xu agreed without giving it much thought.

"Tang Ling, it'll be tough, but please work overtime with Xiao Zhou and Jin Mingxi. Li Shuangshuang, you can get off work!"

Another female nurse happily left.

A simple suturing originally needed just two people.

Zhou Can and Jin Mingxi were left behind for the purpose of training these two newcomers.

The injured person was also brought in.

A young woman, quite tall, wearing a loose coat and large sunglasses. She was wrapped up very tightly.

"Dressed like this, she couldn't be a fugitive, could she?"

Zhou Can couldn't help but murmur.

The woman seemed to sense the doctors' questioning gazes and took off her sunglasses willingly.

Instantly, everyone's eyes lit up.

On her beautiful melon-seed face, the delicate features were arranged just perfectly. Under slightly arched eyebrows, her eyes were as clear as autumn water, and her slightly brown hair cascaded in waves down her shoulders.

That unique aura, mixed with elegance, nobility, and charm, was like Chang'e descending from the Moon Palace to the mortal world.

She truly was "more enchanting than a fragrant jade, more genuine than a flower's whisper. Her brows extended like distant hills, her lips parted like a blooming cherry."

Such a beautiful woman brightened the operating room a few shades.

Wherever she stood casually, she was an absolutely beautiful scene.

Fortunately, Dr. Lu had left; otherwise, he would surely have made an embarrassing display, drooling all over.

"Hello, my arm is injured; could you help me stitch it up?"

The woman gave Zhou Can a slight smile.

It was like the bloom of spring flowers, and Zhou Can felt a sweet, comforting sensation.

He thought he had seen plenty of beautiful women, but one so stunning and soul-stirring, he had never met before.

"Of course, we can. This is my senior physician Dr. Xu, who needs to examine it first."

Zhou Can snapped out of his daze, and immediately ushered his teacher to the front.

He believed he had handled the situation appropriately, without losing his composure.

He owed his strong immunity to beautiful women to his class beauty Yang Chan.

Studying with her for five years had given Zhou Can 'face blindness'.

All beautiful women seemed pretty much the same to him.

The woman, seeing that Zhou Can had not been bewitched by her beauty, glanced at him with some surprise.

Compared to Zhou Can, Jin Mingxi's reaction was much weaker.

He gazed at the beautiful woman, his eyes unmoving for more than a minute.

As if he were spellbound.

Appreciating beautiful things is human nature.

Taking a few extra glances at a beautiful woman, even staring, is a man's instinctive reaction.

"Miss, where are you injured? Let me have a look."

Dr. Xu was an old hand after all; facing such a beautiful woman, he actually appeared calm and indifferent.

Zhou Can couldn't help but secretly give him a thumbs-up.

The woman carefully took off her coat, revealing that the lace sleeve on her left arm was dyed red with a large patch of blood. She had done some simple bandaging herself.

From the looks of it, the bleeding had already stopped.

"How long is the wound?"

"Um! About 4cm."

She nodded gently.

"Unwind the bandaged gauze and let's have a look,"

Dr. Xu instructed Zhou Can and Tang Ling.

When they unwrapped the gauze, a shocking blood wound was revealed, with a depth that was certainly over 0.6cm, estimated length not less than 4cm.

This is just a superficial skin injury, not complex, simply cleaning and suturing would suffice.

"No other injuries?"

Dr. Xu asked after examining the wound.

"Just some abrasions on the back of this hand, it's nothing. I was referred by Xu Dawei, he said that suturing by Dr. Xu Chen wouldn't leave any scars. Please take extra care."

The woman apparently came specifically to find Dr. Xu for suturing.

And with an introduction from an acquaintance.

It seemed she was no ordinary person.

Suturing may seem simple, any intern could do it, but to do it without leaving a scar, perhaps even an experienced chief physician wouldn't be confident in making such a promise.

Zhou Can was somewhat excited; this was a treat for the eyes.

He would get to witness Dr. Xu's scar-free suturing.

"Director Xu Dawei?"

Dr. Xu looked into the woman's eyes with a bit of surprise.
