My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 81 - 75: The National Context of Minimally Invasive Fields

"Get lost! Don't be so gross, okay? I am a married man with children."

Jin Mingxi firmly denied having any thoughts about his female classmate.

However, his classmate was fair-skinned, beautiful, and possessed an elegant demeanor; her figure maintained the curves of a young girl. To claim Jin Mingxi had no thoughts about her at all, Zhou Can wouldn't believe it.

But for married men and women, being able to restrain their desires and not crossing the line, being responsible to their families, that was already very commendable.

...

When the two arrived at the hospital for work, Zhou Can had just passed the nurse station when Ye Tingting sashayed over.

"Good morning, Dr. Zhou!"

"Good morning, Sister Ting! You seem to have gotten prettier!"

She had to be a bit older than Zhou Can.

"Hehe, are you buttering me up?" She giggled, giving Zhou Can a coquettish glance with her peachy, teary eyes. "Here, this is the tally of milk tea orders and flavors you asked me to count. The girls said, they won't let you treat them for nothing."

Rows of flamboyant tally figures were written on a medical sticky note.

"Just inviting you for a milk tea, what else could anyone expect in return?"

Zhou Can took the note and pocketed it.

He threw in a joke for good measure with Ye Tingting.

Pfft~!

"Is Dr. Zhou confessing to Qiao Yu? Unfortunately, she's on night shift and not here today. But don't worry, you can't fight fate; I'll be sure to relay the message, brother!" Ye Tingting laughed until she was shaking like a flowering branch.

Sometimes, a good-natured joke here and there is a great way to lift spirits and bridge interpersonal relationships.

Almost always works like a charm.

But it's important to be mindful of the timing and the measure.

If you crack jokes in the operating room while the lead surgeon is all grim-faced, you're just asking to be scolded.

Make a joke during a life-saving emergency, you're likely to get pummeled by the patient's relatives.

And if the jokes go too far, it's even worse - you might crash and burn right there and then.

Zhou Can's joke was undoubtedly a success.

His interaction with Ye Tingting had become more harmonious, and their relationship had grown closer.

"No, please don't! It's nothing to me, but that young lady has delicate feelings. After all this teasing, she might start avoiding me."

Zhou Can could never have imagined that his offhand joke might lead her to bring up Qiao Yu.

Married women are indeed not something a young, inexperienced man like him could outwit.

Fortunately, he saw Dr. Xu getting out of the office, already dressed.

"Alright, enough chatting! I'm off to the surgery room."

He headed swiftly towards Dr. Xu.

"Good morning, teacher!"

Dr. Xu turned around and stared at him with a stern face.

Staring so intently, Zhou Can felt chills run down his spine.

"Heard you pulled off a big one yesterday?"

Zhou Can was taken aback for two seconds, then caught on.

Trying not to grin, he said, "Teacher, the way you put it, one might think the ancient bandits have kidnapped a rich man's daughter again." In ancient times, bandits who wanted to rob the wealthy wouldn't just storm into a village, as it was difficult to succeed.

Because the rich families' estates were usually fortified and protected by hired guards and house servants.

For bandits, breaking in within a short time was almost impossible.

If it took too long, the arrival of the government troops meant game over.

So, cunning bandits would find out when the daughter of a well-off family was to be married off and would opt to hijack the bridal sedan on the wedding day, kidnapping the bride to take to the mountains.

After they captured someone, they would issue a ransom note.

If the ransom was paid obediently, the bandits, often priding themselves on their honor, would ensure the bride's virtue and return her safely.

But if anyone dared to involve the authorities or failed to pay the ransom, the young bride would be doomed.

Both the bride's and groom's families would typically put together the ransom on the same day to get her back. If it took all night, the groom's family would usually be unwilling to pay the ransom. Even if the bride was redeemed, she would likely end up taking her own life.

Dr. Xu is particularly strict, but this morning he indulged in a bit of cold humor.

It seems he's in a very good mood!

"The patient whose bleeding you successfully stopped yesterday, after Director Lou reviewed the case, suggested further examination. Eventually, the patient was diagnosed with liver disease."

This is grave news.

The patient is only in their twenties.

Generally speaking, liver diseases that can cause coagulation dysfunction are extremely serious.

When liver diseases progress to a severe stage, the prognosis is often poor.

Every organ in the human body has its own personality.

The liver is the only organ without pain sensation.

This also leads to liver diseases being difficult to detect, and when they are detected, it's usually advanced-stage.

"I heard you have achieved quite an expertise in grasping technique?"

It seems someone told Dr. Xu all about Zhou Can's excellent performance in the operating room last night.

No wonder he's in such a good mood.

If a teacher's apprentice is praised by other doctors, the teacher feels honored, naturally happy.

"Did Dr. Fu tell you?"

Zhou Can tentatively asked.

Dr. Xu neither confirmed nor denied, offering no response.

Zhou Can didn't dare to ask further, and honestly admitted, "I'm actually just of average level, it just happened that I managed to catch the fishbone yesterday, and that's why I was able to successfully remove it." He considered his skill in the grasping technique to be Level 3, not very remarkable.

Dr. Xu knows his apprentice too well.

Other young people all like to vie for the limelight and can't wait to show off even their underpants.

But Zhou Can prefers to work loudly and live quietly.

He has never been seen deliberately showing off.

As someone who has experienced major setbacks, Dr. Xu actually envies Zhou Can's modesty at such a young age, a trait many middle-aged and elderly people may not possess.

Most people have the character of a nouveau riche, showing off with ten coins jingling in their belt.

Only those who have experienced great ups and downs and have been battered by society understand the value of being low-profile and restrained.

For Zhou Can to have such awareness at a young age is especially commendable.

"Hmph, there's no need to hide or be reserved in front of me! Do you understand the importance of the grasping technique?"

Dr. Xu snorted.

"A little. It's mainly used in minimally invasive surgery."

Zhou Can followed his teacher towards the operating room.

"If suturing, dissection, ligation, and hemostasis are the foundations of traditional surgery, then the grasping technique is the foundation of sophisticated surgery. With the rapid development of medical technology, minimally invasive surgeries that cause less trauma, have faster recovery, and carry fewer risks are gradually replacing traditional surgeries. You have an extraordinary talent in the grasping technique, which is a huge advantage. Renowned surgeons from developed countries like Japan, the United States, and Germany have almost all transitioned into the field of minimally invasive surgery."

Although Dr. Xu is stationed in the neglected Emergency Department, he has not been ignorant.

Nor has he given up on himself.

On one hand, he has been reflecting and trying to learn from his failures, finding ways to eliminate major flaws of acting hastily but not securely.

On the other hand, he pays attention to medical trends and advancements globally.

Zhou Can feels that if his teacher ever makes a comeback, his skills will undoubtedly reach a higher level.

He might well become a true master surgeon.

Zhou Can wonders what kind of incident Dr. Xu had been involved in the past. When his abilities become strong enough, he is determined to inquire carefully and strive to remove the 'shackles' from his teacher.

If that day comes, he believes it would be the best way to repay Dr. Xu.

"Did you know? In Japan, patients who undergo pancreatic cancer surgery can work the next day and basically recover in three days. In our country, patients need to stay in the hospital for at least half a month or even longer after surgery. Moreover, in China, abdominal surgery is basically used, which is much riskier than minimally invasive surgery. The risk is even greater if a Pancreaticoduodenectomy is performed."

Zhou Can knows that Japan's medical technology is much more advanced than China's.

But he didn't realize the gap was so vast.

And that's just in the field of pancreatic surgery.

In the fields of medicine, medical equipment, and instruments, our country also lags behind developed countries.

However, our country is in a fast-developing phase, catching up quickly, and perhaps soon we will be able to overtake them in many technological fields.
