My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 78 - 72 Sudden Enlightenment During Surgery

"Goodness, just for that calm demeanor and effortless grasping technique of yours, we have to let you give it a try! Make sure to pay attention to safety during the operation, and not to harm the patient's esophagus."

Doctor Fu was truly in awe of this resident doctor.

Mastery in all eighteen martial arts skills, truly proficient in each one.

Did this kid start practicing surgical techniques in his mother's womb?

Just how difficult it is to practice and improve at the grasping technique, he knows all too well.

When Doctor Fu was young, he too was an ambitious doctor full of ideals. From his third year as a resident doctor, he aimed to learn from the attending physicians. One day, he hoped to stand at the operating table to manipulate minimally invasive surgical tools and instruments, and with effortless skill, resolve the patient's lesions.

It was not until he was 38 that he luckily passed the attending physician exam, and Tuya Hospital employed him as an attending physician.

After that, he began striving for the senior professional title.

The grasping technique became the Advanced Medical Skill he practiced the most.

However, time is limited, talent is limited, conditions are limited.

Having practiced up to now, at the age of 46, his grasping technique just barely reaches the lower level of a Resident Doctor.

The difficulty of improving in this medical skill is not especially high for doctors with talent, but for someone like him without this particular talent, it's a nightmare.

Harder than reaching the heavens.

Doctor Fu could determine with one glance that Zhou Can's grasp technique prowess, revealed just now, was stronger than his own.

With such an exceptional junior around, besides being envious, Doctor Fu is even happier.

Having such a powerful assistant during surgeries is an incredible fortune.

"You can start the operation now, I'll hold down the patient's tongue for you, and grab the laryngoscope."

Doctor Fu personally turned into his assistant.

Zhou Can carefully maneuvered the long forceps into the patient's throat, utilizing the laryngoscope and inching closer to the position of the fish bone.

Then, within the limited and narrow space of the throat, he operated the long forceps to grasp the tail of the fish bone.

The first attempt at extraction failed.

The second time… until on the fourth attempt, he finally secured the tail end of the fish bone.

At that moment, his heart was extremely tense.

His hand began to disobey, shaking.

After several deep breaths, he endeavored to maintain a calm heart, and applied force bit by bit with the long forceps, pulling upwards.

Regrettably, the fish bone was lodged too deep.

Moreover, the surrounding tissues had swollen, causing the fish bone to be firmly embedded in the flesh, immovable.

The slightest force would cause the tail of the fish bone to slip out from the forceps' grip.

Zhou Can tried several times, only to end in failure each time.

Sweat poured non-stop from his forehead.

Liu Xia carefully wiped the sweat for him.

So much time had passed, and the patient was becoming intolerable.

Moreover, the prolonged stimulation of the patient's throat led to severe vomiting reactions.

Zhou Can's opportunities were dwindling.

"If only sharp forceps could be used. Although these rounded, flat forceps are much safer and less likely to injure the throat tissues, when grasping the fish bone, it means that only a very short segment of the fish bone tail can be grasped."

Zhou Can was very clear that Doctor Fu would definitely not agree to let him use sharp forceps.

There was only one last method left.

Not to use the tip of the forceps to grasp the fish bone, but to use a position slightly behind the tip to clamp the fish bone.

This would ensure as much of the exposed base of the fish bone was grasped as possible.

When pulling back, the tail end of the fish bone was less likely to detach from the tip of the forceps.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Can tried to operate according to his previous thought process.

After a few persistent attempts, he finally clamped it again.

He closed his eyes, carefully feeling the clamping force at the tip of the forceps. He struggled to find the right feel.

It seemed that the base had not been clamped.

If he attempted to extract upwards, the fish bone would mostly slip out from the tip of the forceps again.

"Ugh..."

The patient began to retch violently.

The unexpected movement in the throat accidentally helped Zhou Can's forceps to successfully grasp more of the fish bone.

He could feel that he probably clamped the exposed base of the fish bone.

Like fishing, if it's a small fish, lifting it feels very light.

If it were a big fish, the force required would be much greater, making it seem particularly heavy.

"Success or failure hinges on this moment!"

He still had his eyes closed, slowly lifting the forceps upwards by feel.

Tss!

A faint sound traveled from the tip of the forceps to his fingers.

"Uh!"

The patient let out a pained groan of relief.

A slight smile appeared on Zhou Can's face as he opened his eyes and slowly withdrew the forceps from the patient's throat.

It was finally safely removed.

Clamped by the forceps was a rather thick fishbone, over 2cm in length.

Seeing this fishbone, which nearly claimed a life, successfully extracted filled everyone with joy.

[Grasping Experience Points +1.]

[Congratulations on mastering an advanced technique in the process of extracting a fishbone as if it were an extension of your own arm. Reward: 100 Experience Points for your grasping technique.]

Zhou Can was momentarily stunned, then overwhelmed with joy.

In addition to the pleasure of curing the patient, he had unexpectedly received a reward of as much as 100 Experience Points.

The grasping technique is very hard to practice.

This reward of 100 Experience Points was equivalent to half a month of hard practice in the dormitory.

Up to now, he had received several Experience Points rewards.

The highest was a reward of 100 Experience Points.

Once for diagnosing a super-difficult case, and another time just now, during the fishbone extraction for the patient, when he had a major insight into the use of the long forceps.

With eyes closed, he could clearly feel the grip strength and the length to which the forceps clamped the fishbone.

The feeling was quite magical.

It was as if he was pinching the fishbone with his fingertips.

So this is what it means to handle it as if it were an extension of your own arm.

Zhou Can couldn't help thinking of martial arts experts in sword and saber techniques from wuxia novels, who, only when they practiced their sword or saber to be as agile as their own fingers, could be considered to have made minor achievements.

Then, was his recent epiphany also considered to have made minor achievements?

Only his weapons were surgical instruments like long forceps and bone-holding clamps.

After the surge in Experience Points, his grasping technique had obviously improved a lot.

If he were to extract that fishbone again, he was confident he could remove it successfully in one try.

"It's out, finally out!"

Doctor Fu laughed, his eyes crinkling with wrinkles, although his hair was already quite white.

Doctors generally age prematurely.

Due to high stress and excessive mental strain.

Many doctors already have gray hair at the age of forty.

"Thank you, thank you all!"

The patient expressed his gratitude repeatedly, deeply moved.

"You can't leave the operating room yet. We need to observe the bleeding at the site where the fishbone punctured."

Doctor Fu was very steady in his work.

He did not let his guard down simply because the fishbone was extracted.

Upon examination with the laryngoscope, the site where the fishbone punctured was bleeding, but the situation was still ideal.

If it had punctured a blood vessel, that would have been troublesome.

Finally, with heartfelt thanks, the patient left the operation room with a smile, his life spared.

After this lesson, he was probably too frightened to eat fish for a long time.

Doctor Fu heaved a great sigh of relief, having successfully treated another patient.

For him, who was mediocre in medical skills, he feared encountering two types of surgeries the most. The first type had potential risks. The second type seemed simple but required extremely high technical proficiency.

The latter was somewhat better; at worst, it would be a loss of face, and he could ask for a specialist to consult.

The first type, however, was truly frightening.

A slight misstep could lead to a medical accident.

Ever since Doctor Fu was promoted to attending physician, every shift was like treading on thin ice.

But no matter how cautious, he had still encountered several critical situations.
