My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 62 - 56 Growth Planning

"Could you please inform the doctors on duty when you're on shift to receive more Level 1 surgical patients during your watch? I'm completely new to this and desperately need more practice opportunities."

Zhou Can's four basic medical skills and two Advanced Medical Skills in anastomosis and separation are already at the resident doctor level.

He is fully capable of handling Level 1 surgeries.

This is more than ten times better than practicing at home on mice, tofu, and cotton.

Because of limited surgical capabilities and staff shortages in the Emergency Department, they often only handle emergency surgeries. Less urgent cases are referred to various specialties.

Simply by notifying the attending physicians, it's possible to get more than enough Level 1 surgical patients.

"Dr. Xu, I need it as well!"

Jin Mingxi quickly followed after Zhou Can spoke up.

He wouldn't dare to ask Dr. Xu directly.

It's different for Zhou Can; anyone can see that Dr. Xu favors him especially.

He's clearly being groomed as a successor.

Thus, Zhou Can dares to make some small requests.

"Wow! Are you two addicted after a day of surgeries? Okay, I'll talk to the attending physicians and take in more Level 1 surgical patients when I'm on duty. If you think working eight hours is not enough, when Director Lou is on duty, I can try to arrange more for you as well."

Dr. Xu was quite pleased with their ambition and readily agreed.

The Emergency Department is incredibly short-staffed, and any patient that can be referred to a specialty is not retained.

There are only two attending surgeons in the entire Emergency Department.

They are Dr. Xu and another doctor surnamed Fu.

Dr. Fu usually works in outpatient care.

In the operating room, Dr. Xu and three surgical resident doctors are the main force. As they work in three shifts, Dr. Xu almost invariably takes the morning shift, which has the heaviest surgical load.

Director Lou sometimes takes over the evening shift.

The night shift usually doesn't have many surgeries; mostly emergency operations or surgical inspections. The resident doctors stay and call Dr. Fu or Dr. Xu to the hospital for urgent surgeries above Level 2.

It is worth mentioning that the Emergency Department generally only handles Level 1 and 2 surgeries, and Level 3 surgeries must be performed by specialists.

This scheduling of the surgical doctors basically ensures the normal operation of the Emergency Department's operating room.

Zhou Can was truly pleased that Dr. Xu agreed so easily.

He no longer has to worry about lacking opportunities to practice.

"Thank you, teacher!"

"Thank you, Dr. Xu!"

Jin Mingxi also quickly expressed his thanks.

"Go home now! You two must seriously review today's surgical experiences. Especially the Scarless Suturing Method I taught you. I can reveal that mastering the Scarless Suturing Method will allow you to apply it in many high-end surgeries in the future. Moreover, this method is not the deepest, and in highly advanced top-level surgeries, it's comparable to basic techniques like suturing, incision, ligation, and hemostasis."

Before leaving, Dr. Xu painted a big picture for them.

What are extremely advanced top-level surgeries?

Ordinary chief physicians' surgeries don't qualify as such.

Only surgeries performed by expert-level or even world-leading surgeons align with these terms.

These surgeries vary in scale.

Large ones require the coordinated effort of many elite surgical teams.

Such as the world-famous head transplant or heart transplant surgeries.

Right now, Zhou Can is like a toddler learning to walk on the path of medicine, just starting to learn to walk. His path of growth is virtually endless, and how far he can go depends on his own efforts and opportunities.

"It's time to properly plan my daily practice tasks."

He actually had this idea yesterday.

After Dr. Xu outlined their future prospects, his desire to quickly improve his overall medical skills became even more urgent.

Currently, in the operating room, he can gain Experience Points in suturing, ligation, hemostasis, injection, anastomosis, and debridement.

The harder ones to obtain are implantation, incision, and separation.

He is not very worried about pathological diagnosis because after familiarizing himself, he can voluntarily stay for unpaid overtime following the attending physicians and seeing patients. With the frightening volume of patients in the Emergency Department, earning 30 to 40 points in pathological diagnostic Experience Points a day is not unusual.

He will soon be able to advance steadily.

The attending doctor in the Emergency Department, Dr. Luo, was quite friendly to him, greeting him and likely to agree to have him sit in the clinic after privately inviting him for a meal.

As for the other doctors, he could only slowly get to know them before making any requests.

After some consideration, he only needed to focus on practicing insertion, incision, and separation techniques after work.

Practicing insertion on rats, he would earn 0.2 Experience Points per attempt.

Inserting a catheter in a patient, he could earn 1 Experience Point per attempt.

If he was thick-skinned enough and had enough connections in the hospital, going specifically to the intensive care to take on catheter insertion tasks would be the fastest way to accumulate insertion Experience Points.

However, on the one hand, he was not familiar with the staff in the intensive care unit.

On the other hand, there was a risk of being misunderstood by colleagues as having a psychological disorder, so this idea had to be prematurely abandoned.

At least for now, it was completely out of the question.

Fortunately, in the Emergency Department, he often encountered patients who needed catheter insertion, which allowed him to earn some points.

After work, Zhou Can first went to the Logistics and Security Department to process his room card.

Then, he bought a biomechanical model specifically for practicing insertion, as well as a pound of soybeans and ten rats.

He planned to return home and practice thoroughly.

Now, as a resident doctor learning under Dr. Xu, it was quite good.

He only needed to work eight hours a day.

Compared to the hardships of an intern, it was simply paradise.

Since he was in the Emergency Department's operating room, besides surgery overtime, there was almost no other miscellaneous tasks. Previously, as an intern in the inpatient department, life was truly miserable. Managing beds, writing medical records, learning set medical orders, writing histories, assisting in surgeries...almost as busy as a spinning top.

Sometimes, working one day felt as tiring as working for a month.

Now, having a lot of free time was actually beneficial for Zhou Can.

He could go home and practice various medical skills that were hard to practice in the operating room or join the attending and surgical doctors for overtime.

He could flexibly choose according to his own growth needs.

...

Returning to the shared dormitory where he had lived for a year, it was already empty. All his roommates had left.

On the desk was a heartwarming note.

"Zhou Can, keep going! We believe you can definitely become a renowned doctor!"

It was signed by seven roommates.

Zhou Can felt warm inside, but his nose tingled slightly. He carefully stored the precious note filled with roommate's camaraderie, and began to quickly pack up his personal belongings.

Then he moved to the double apartment upstairs.

Finding room 315, he tried using the room card to swipe the electronic lock on the door and pushed it open, revealing an extremely surprised expression.

"Dr. Jin!"

"Haha, what a fate! I didn't expect my other roommate to be Dr. Zhou."

Jin Mingxi also laughed happily.

He was seriously writing a surgical summary at the moment. Seeing his roommate was Zhou Can, he hurriedly closed his notebook, got up, and helped him move his belongings.

The décor here was much better than the shared dormitory downstairs.

It was fully furnished, with single beds replacing the bunk beds, and two independent spring mattresses.

It was somewhat similar to a hotel double room.

Moreover, it also had air conditioning and a private bathroom.

From now on, there would be no need to use the shared bathroom for showers or toilet visits.

The treatment for resident doctors was significantly better than that of interns. Indeed, it pays to work hard, as the future only becomes brighter.

With Jin Mingxi's help, he quickly moved all his belongings into the new residence and settled in.

"Wow, Dr. Zhou, your tools for practicing medical techniques are really comprehensive!"

Microscope, electrocautery knife, wax table... he could open a private clinic.

"Hehe, the competition is fierce, I had no choice!"

Zhou Can never stinted in his medical investments.

Being able to emerge from thousands of applicants and securing the first place was certainly aided by the Experience Points system. But his own efforts and financial investments were also crucial factors in his success.
