My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 79 - 73: Su Qianqian’s Gift
So it goes without saying that the medical profession is definitely a high-risk industry. It's not as glamorous as outsiders might perceive.
Speaking of salary, incomes for those at the Associate Director level and above are indeed not low. But the salaries for residents and standardized trainees are genuinely not high.
Even the salaries for chief physicians aren't considered very high.
However, since physicians have prescription rights, chief physicians can have some gray income.
Additionally, once at the chief level, they can sometimes do private work in smaller hospitals. When chief physicians from Tu Ya go to rural health centers, they generally earn extra income as experts.
Even when going to some county-level top-tier hospitals, they serve as renowned experts in specific fields.
So it's safe to say, the professional titles of doctors at Tu Ya really carry significant weight.
Of course, their medical skills are also far superior to those at smaller hospitals.
Doctor Fu's gaze towards the biggest hero of this highly challenging surgery was filled with smiles.
"Dr. Zhou, honestly, how many more skills do you have up your sleeve? Suturing, injecting, diagnosing diseases, you excel in all these areas already. And now you've also achieved quite a mastery in advanced surgical techniques like the grasping technique. The surprises you've given me today just keep coming!"
Doctor Fu really had his eyes opened today.
He had never thought that a standardized trainee could be so outstanding.
This kid is like Sun Wukong, capable of causing uproars everywhere.
From now on, the Emergency Department's operating room will have a strong new member.
"Actually, I don't know much, just these things!" Zhou Can said modestly with a smile.
Skills should not be fully disclosed; it's wise to keep some in reserve.
He will keep surprising Doctor Fu.
"Just these still count as few? I'm thinking about consulting with Dr. Xu to let you join me in surgeries from now on."
What senior doctor wouldn't like such a prodigy?
Having Zhou Can assist in surgeries not only share the workload but also helps in making diagnoses, avoiding potential pitfalls.
"As long as you don't find me a bother, I can often work overtime. I want to learn from you."
Although Zhou Can knew Doctor Fu was joking, he was still worried he might really talk to Dr. Xu.
Following Dr. Xu would definitely hold more promise.
In terms of mentorship, Dr. Xu is the only one Zhou Can truly acknowledges at the moment.
"You said it, from now on whenever I'm on duty, you can come and help in the operating room anytime," Doctor Fu said happily after hearing this.
He openly expressed that he could give Zhou Can the greatest freedom.
Whenever to come and help in the operating room or when to leave, Zhou Can could decide freely.
Dr. Lu felt quite jealous.
He had always known that as soon as Zhou Can showed his capabilities, he would immediately win the high praise of senior doctors.
Now that it's a done deal, he no longer has the power to stop Zhou Can's progression.
He could only feel sour on the side.
Soon, the next surgical patient was brought into the operating room.
Having gained Doctor Fu's trust and recognition, Zhou Can found it much easier to seek more training opportunities.
He easily got chances to do debridement and suturing.
Even got the opportunity to anastomose a small blood vessel.
It was only because Doctor Fu didn't know his full capability that he was so cautious.
Under Dr. Xu, he had already anastomosed several blood vessels.
He had even successfully conducted nerve anastomosis.
Zhou Can couldn't afford to be negligent with the rare opportunity for blood vessel anastomosis that he had fought so hard for.
With his best efforts, the blood vessel anastomosis was very successful.
After seeing this, Doctor Fu nodded continuously in satisfaction.
He gained a new understanding of Zhou Can's surgical abilities. It would likely be Zhou Can taking on general blood vessel anastomosis surgeries in the future.

...
Busy until around ten o'clock at night, there were hardly any more patients needing surgery coming in.
The volume of surgeries during the night shift was much less than during the day shift.
However, it's said that the night shift is likely to encounter some severely ill emergency patients.
Such as accident victims, patients injured in fights, and so on.
Overall, tonight was relatively quiet, and no such patients were brought to the emergency surgery room.
"Doctor Fu, I'm on the morning shift tomorrow, and there are no patients requiring surgery now. I'll clock out, is that okay with you?"
"Sure, go home. Please be careful on your way!"
Doctor Fu gladly agreed.
Zhou Can was voluntarily working overtime, with the intent to learn.
He could leave whenever he wanted.
Exiting the operating room, as he passed by the nurse's station, a young short-haired nurse called him over.
"Hey, hey, Dr. Zhou, wait a moment."
Two nurses who are on the night shift are sitting behind the nurse station.
"Are you asking me to insert a catheter for a patient in the middle of the night?"
Zhou Can leaned on the nurse station and asked with a smile.
"Hehe! Dr. Zhou is so enthusiastic, next time we need to insert a catheter, we will definitely ask for your help." The female nurse covered her mouth and chuckled lightly. "A Ms. Su asked us to pass this to you."
As she spoke, the nurse took out a very delicate tote bag from under the table.
Ms. Su?
Zhou Can quickly went through his mind, and it didn't seem like he had any female friends with the surname Su.
There are quite a few scammers these days.
Fraudulent tricks are also endless.
He couldn't help but be wary as he took out the item from the bag to check.
It turned out to be a beautifully packaged CD.
It was even signed.
Su Qianqian.
"So it's her!"
Zhou Can suddenly realized.
She was quite thoughtful, actually sending a CD to Zhou Can.
"Oh, is it from a girlfriend?"
The two female nurses looked gossipy.
"I wish I could find such a high-level girlfriend, but unfortunately she wouldn't consider me! Goodbye, I'm off!"
Zhou Can quickly left with the bag.
Once back in the dormitory, Jin Mingxi was practicing his knot tying skills.
Tying knots on a block of tofu.
Several broken pieces of tofu had already been discarded in a nearby basin.
The piece he was practicing on was already riddled with holes.
"You're back!"
Jin Mingxi looked up at him.
"Yeah!"
Zhou Can walked over, stared at the knots on the tofu, and laughed, "Tying knots on a tofu to ensure it doesn't break and the knots are secure, I heard that's a Director Level knot tying skill."
Jin Mingxi grinned bitterly, "Exactly! I've been practicing for hours, ruined a whole basin of tofu, but still haven't made much progress in my tying skills! Ah, forget about reaching a Director Level, I'd be happy if I could achieve a Chief Level!"
He said that, but you could tell that Jin Mingxi's knot tying skills were already very impressive.
At least at a competent Resident Doctor level, and possibly even an excellent Resident Doctor standard.
"Weren't you just about to be promoted to an associate senior position at the People's Hospital? Surely your knot tying skills are at least at a Chief Level!"
"Sigh! The qualification evaluation at local hospitals is inflated, you know as well as I do. In our kind of small sixth or seventh-tier towns, the skill level of a Director Physician might not even compare to a Chief Physician at Tuya Hospital."
That's a stark truth.
District hospitals allow Resident Doctors to test for Chief Physician after four full years. Once passing, they're automatically promoted to Chief Physician.
But in a provincial-level top-tier hospital like Tuya Hospital, the competition is just too fierce.
Even if a Resident Doctor takes the Chief exam and qualifies, they still have to wait for an opportunity.
Because each department in the hospital has only so many slots for Chief Physicians, those with higher medical skills are obviously prioritized.
As for the others, they have to either wait for an opportunity or transfer to another hospital.
But generally, few doctors want to voluntarily leave Tuya Hospital.
They'd rather continually wait for an opportunity.
Because once they leave, it's almost impossible to come back.
In terms of development, staying at Tuya Hospital obviously offers much greater opportunities.
Zhou Can chatted with Jin Mingxi for a few moments and then did not disturb him as he continued practicing his knot tying.
After taking a bath, he lay in bed planning to write down his surgical reflections and read a bit before going to sleep.
Having performed surgeries all day, he definitely needed to balance work and rest.
His gaze inadvertently fell on the CD sent by Su Qianqian.
Tang Ling said that Su Qianqian's songs were very healing to the soul.
Out of curiosity, he thought of giving it a listen.
After all, it was a CD personally sent by the female star.
Not to mention anything else, just the CD signed personally by her is worth quite a bit.
As he opened the CD case, a slip of paper fell out.
The handwriting on it was flowing, vibrant, and neat, pleasing to the eye.
