My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 76 - 70: You Can’t Cover Anyone’s Shine

"Ha ha, not just you, even I almost made the same mistake. Who could imagine that a resident doctor like him could be so incredible?"

Director Lou reflected on Zhou Can's two meritorious deeds in the rescue room, feeling overwhelmed by emotions.

People are not saints; underestimating those with less experience is the most common mistake to make.

"Tell me how you managed to stop the patient's bleeding!"

This intrigued Director Lou even more.

Such difficult bleeding control, considering his knowledge of Doctor Fu, he shouldn't have had the capacity to deal with it.

"After suspecting that the patient had a coagulation dysfunction, our first thought was to administer intramuscular Vitamin K1. Zhou Can pointed out that intramuscular injections could lead to local muscular hemorrhage. So, following his advice, we switched to intravenous infusion. The medication didn't work as well as we hoped. I was about to call a specialist for consultation when Doctor Zhou provided a set of combined hemostasis strategies..."

Doctor Fu recounted the events truthfully.

He didn't discredit Zhou Can's contribution to save face.

At least from this, it's clear that Doctor Fu is a straightforward and honest person.

"Zhou Can's contribution again?"

Director Lou turned to look at Zhou Can, his face wearing a warm, affectionate smile.

"Good lad, can't you be a little more humble? Three days in the Emergency Department, and you've made major contributions each day."

Such complicated hemostasis, coming from this resident no less.

Director Lou was not only shocked but thrilled.

"Heh heh, that's also thanks to your and the senior doctors' good training, giving me the opportunity to practice!"

Zhou Can's response, if not perfect, was at least above 90.

Seeing the brighter smiles on Doctor Fu and Director Lou's faces, it was easy to tell they were very pleased with Zhou Can's diplomatic reply.

Director Lou then turned to look at Dr. Lu, who was hanging his head, his face a mix of shades.

If there were a large enough crack in the ground, Dr. Lu would surely dive in right away.

His little schemes, once brought out into the 'sun', disastrously collapsed.

Now he is just like a clown, worthy of disdain.

"Dr. Lu, you've been working at our Emergency Department for quite a few years, haven't you?"

Note, Director Lou used 'our Emergency Department'.

It sounds like he doesn't really consider Dr. Lu one of his own.

It shows he has quite a high opinion of Dr. Lu.

"It's been four years already!"

Dr. Lu had his shoulders slightly slumped, and his back was a bit bent.

He knew his reprimand was almost at hand.

With a sincere attitude, at least he wouldn't be hit too lightly.

"Initially, when I transferred you to the operating room and trained you step by step, I hoped you would excel and contribute to the Emergency Department. Not to engage in petty internal competition, nor use tactics to suppress newcomers."

Director Lou's tone became increasingly intense, his face devoid of any smile.

His gaze was as sharp and cold as the intense cold of late autumn.

"Remember, this era won't stop you from shining, but you also can't overshadow anyone else's light."

Dr. Lu's head bobbed like a pecking chicken.

"I won't dare to do it again!"

He dared not even lift his head.

He had intended to hinder Zhou Can's progress. However, Zhou Can was just too outstanding, not only failing to be suppressed but also rising prominently, becoming even more dazzling.

Whereas, he ended up tarnished, becoming a negative example.

All his devious methods to suppress Zhou Can had been exposed.

He turned into a complete clown.

"If there's a next time, we won't keep you in the Emergency Department. General Surgery kicked you out initially, and you weren't supposed to continue working at Tuya Hospital. It was Dr. Xu who pulled some strings for you, asking me to speak well of you to hospital leadership, letting you stay in the Emergency Department. Over these years, Dr. Xu, Doctor Fu, and I have all been trying to teach you, hoping you'd soon become a chief resident, to help us bear more responsibilities. But what about you? You engaged in plenty of superficial activities, yet your medical skills haven't improved much."

Director Lou enumerated one by one Dr. Lu's faults.

They were so earnestly hoping he would achieve something.

Because the medical team in the Emergency Department was originally weak, striving to nurture new talents was the best way forward.

Dr. Lu's talent is not lacking, but his attitude towards work is quite improper.

And he fails to cherish his opportunities.

This has led to the current situation.

Director Lou, Dr. Xu, and others have been tolerant of him, hoping he would improve.

Unexpectedly, not only did he not improve, but he also sabotaged a top genius recently recruited by the Emergency Department.

Director Lou did not kill him with a single slap, which counts as polite.

But he has made it clear now, giving him one last chance.

If there is a next time, he will be directly ejected from the Emergency Department.

"I will definitely change for the better, please believe me, Director Lou and Doctor Fu, I will change. If I can be promoted to the main doctor next year, I can handle shifts independently, so you, Doctor Fu, and Dr. Xu won't have to work so hard."

Dr. Lu talked about changing.

But old habits die hard.

He still couldn't help flattering Director Lou and the others.

"Humph, your promotion next year as a main doctor seems quite challenging! Make an effort to improve your surgical skills and medical diagnostic level, that's the way to go, work hard!"

Director Lou said expressionlessly.

Perhaps thinking, this young Lu, his surgical skills are on par with that of a Resident Doctor who has worked a year or two, far from being a main doctor level. Dreaming of a promotion next year seems unrealistic.

Of course, as a senior leader of the Emergency Department, he wouldn't say such hurtful words.

He just subtly indicated to Dr. Lu that hoping for a promotion next year was almost hopeless.

"Alright, I'm going to check on that patient. You all continue working!"

Director Lou left in a hurry.

Walking to the door of the operating room, he still turned back to instruct, "Doctor Fu, it's not easy for our Emergency Department to find a talent like Zhou Can, we must train him well."

"Understood! Even if you didn't mention it, I was already prepared to train him thoroughly."

Doctor Fu nodded with a smile.

Clearly, Zhou Can's previous outstanding performances had completely won over Doctor Fu.

Which senior doctor wouldn't like such an excellent newcomer?

With a bit of training, when Zhou Can becomes well-known in the future, Doctor Fu could also benefit.

If Zhou Can is grateful for his support and returns the favor later, that would be even better.

After Director Lou left, a new surgical patient was wheeled into the operating room.

This patient had a fish bone stuck in his throat. It might have been there for several days, as the throat was significantly swollen. The patient was also experiencing difficulty breathing.

"According to the family members of the patient, three days ago he attended a relative's sixtieth birthday celebration, and accidentally swallowed a fish bone during the meal. At that time, someone at the table said drinking vinegar could remove the fish bone. However, drinking vinegar proved ineffective. Later, he heard swallowing food forcefully could push the fish bone down. After trying, it was still ineffective, and the fish bone got stuck even deeper."

Hearing these folk remedies, Zhou Can shook his head.

Such folk methods can be harmful!

If the fish bone is stuck backward in the throat, it might indeed be possible to expel it by swallowing food.

But this method is highly risky.

It could easily lead the fish bone to puncture the esophagus causing bleeding, abscess, and could even be life-threatening.

As for drinking vinegar, fish bones can soften in vinegar.

But the process of drinking vinegar is very brief, and the fish bone cannot be soaked. The part stuck in the flesh is even less likely to soften. Consuming a large amount of highly acidic vinegar could also easily cause burns in the esophagus.

Therefore, both folk remedies are ill-advised.

If one cannot remove the fish bone by themselves, they must seek medical help immediately.

Sometimes delays can result in very severe consequences, and by the time they reach the hospital, it might be too late to save them.

"Here, open your mouth and let me take a look!"

Doctor Fu asked the patient to open his mouth.

When the patient lifted his head, a pained expression immediately appeared on his face.

Breathing also became more difficult.

The patient's throat was so swollen that it squeezed the air passage to less than 0.5cm wide.

Several medical staff involuntarily gasped.

If the airway is completely blocked, it can be fatal within minutes.
