My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 89 - 83: Leave After the Deed

Jin Mingxi left his position as a chief doctor at the county People's Hospital and fought hard to become a resident at Tuya Hospital, purely because Tuya Hospital was too powerful.

Even Provincial People's Hospital, Provincial Children's Hospital, and 701 Hospital were far behind it.

Only in such an environment could one learn truly formidable medical skills.

"Yes!"

Zhou Can's reply still came with an indifferent expression.

"Affiliated Second or General Hospital?"

The female nurse was now determined to probe thoroughly.

"General Hospital!"

Zhou Can's response once again caused the three people to change their expressions in unison.

Doctors from the Affiliated Second Hospital, when faced with doctors from the General Hospital, felt somewhat inferior.

Although no one ever stated it outright, everyone was very clear about it.

Most doctors at the Affiliated Second Hospital were those who had failed the academic competition at the General Hospital and had been eliminated.

For many older doctors, being outperformed by younger doctors in their thirties and forties was an unspoken pain.

Academics, medical skills, they were defeated in both arenas.

The only thing that might remain a source of pride was the abundant diagnostic and treatment experience accumulated over a lifetime.

The era was developing rapidly; older doctors generally had lower education levels, and only a very small fraction managed to not be eliminated by the times. These individuals, through continuous learning and keeping up-to-date, eventually became the leading figures in various medical fields in contemporary China.

Such as Elder Huang in the field of breast cancer.

In the field of Orthopedics, heirs of the Jiang family and Elder Wu, and so forth.

All are towering figures in their respective medical fields.

Only those capable of imposing strict demands on themselves and who continued learning were exceedingly rare among medical predecessors. Most of them enjoyed the benefits of fame, life, and honor after becoming well-known.

Tuya Affiliated Second had many such old doctors.

The female nurse questioning Zhou Can heard that he was actually from Tuya General Hospital, and her previously arrogant demeanor diminished significantly.

To put it bluntly, she now felt a bit oppressed due to her own inferiority.

"Which department are you from at General Hospital?"

She tried to regain some confidence, especially since this absurdly young doctor hadn't even looked her straight in the eye up till now.

She initially thought this was because he was too shy to look at her.

But now, knowing Zhou Can was from Tuya General Hospital, she realized he probably never took her seriously from the start.

This sense of being belittled caused her anger.

"Emergency Department!"

"Oh—so you're a doctor from the Emergency Department! You look so young, an intern perhaps?"

Her confidence was returning.

Doesn't everyone at Tuya know that the General Hospital's Emergency Department is trash?

"Yeah, more or less. Resident."

Zhou Can casually responded while quickly diagnosing the boy's condition in his mind.

His face was purplish, and so were his fingertips.

His breathing had suddenly stopped; what about his heartbeat?

His gaze turned to Dr. Shangguan, who was still fervently performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Suggesting to check the heartbeat again at this time would likely not be agreed upon.

If the child died, they might even blame Zhou Can for it.

When Dr. Shangguan described the child's symptoms, he mentioned the complete absence of breath and barely any heartbeat.

That means there was still a faint heartbeat.

At that moment, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of something green in the child's pocket.

He immediately pulled it out—it was a pack of Green Arrow gum.

Only three pieces left.

"Did your grandson have gum before the incident?"

Zhou Can asked the old lady.

But the old lady was crying hysterically and was somewhat unclear minded. After about ten seconds, she nodded and said, "Yes! He likes chewing gum. I bought him a pack before we boarded the vehicle."

"Dr. Shangguan, stop pressing. This child is likely suffering from an airway obstruction due to a foreign object."

Zhou Can said loudly.

[Diagnostic Experience Points +1.]

Everyone was shocked.

After all this time, it turned out to not be a heart problem, but a foreign object causing asphyxiation.

However, as Zhou Can had just declared his identity as a doctor from Tuya General Hospital, this somewhat instilled trust amongst the onlookers.

Dr. Shangguan was stunned.

His face felt feverish, "It shouldn't be possible, I've checked the child's mouth twice."

"It might be lodged deeper, hard to see without a laryngoscope. Let me try."

Zhou Can, without further explanation, picked up the child, pressing his stomach against the child's back, tilting the child's head downwards.

He clasped his hands around the child's abdomen, approximately three fingers above the navel.

Then he forcefully thrust his hands backwards.

Bang!

Once!

Bang!

Twice!

Everyone watched, hoping for a miracle.

The child's hands hung limply, his complexion was purple, indistinguishable from being dead.

...

It wasn't until the sixth time that a chunk of chewing gum shot out of the child's mouth.

It fell to the ground.

"It's out, it's out! After all, doctors from Tuya General Hospital are more skilled!"

The onlookers cheered.

The Heimlich maneuver is one of the best methods to rescue a child from choking.

Using fingers to probe or giving water are completely wrong methods.

They would only lead to the child dying faster.

Hugging the child's abdomen from behind and using the strong abdominal pressure wave to propel the lodged object out of the throat is the correct method.

Zhou Can laid the child flat on the ground and checked him carefully again.

He found that the child was breathing.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Dr. Shangguan, on the other hand, was blushing with shame.

From the beginning, he was misled by the child's grandmother, thinking the child had a hereditary heart condition and it was surely a heart attack, which then led to using the wrong methods for rescue.

That female nurse, rather than being haughty, now didn't even dare to speak to Zhou Can.

Still afraid of being ridiculed by Zhou Can.

However, Zhou Can still didn't even glance at her.

Female doctor Sun Qian hadn't been much help all along, she deeply looked at Zhou Can, seemingly wanting to remember this exceptionally skilled young doctor.

"Wow..."

After a moment, the child started crying.

His eyes also opened.

The elderly lady was overjoyed.

"He's alive, he's alive! My grandson is alive!"

She hugged the child excitedly.

Then, remembering something, she set the child down and bowed her head to Zhou Can.

Had it not been for Zhou Can saving her grandson, it would have been disastrous for her family. She had no idea how to face her son and daughter-in-law otherwise.

"Don't do that, don't do that. Although the child is awake, he still needs to be taken to a hospital for a check-up. Also, if the child is too young, it's best not to let him have chewing gum, jellies, peanuts, and such. Children are naturally active and accidents can easily happen."

Zhou Can helped the elderly woman to stand.

Saving lives is inherently a doctor's duty.

Successfully rescuing this little boy from the hands of death was the most gratifying thing for Zhou Can.

After the rescue, he didn't stay any longer.

He quietly left.

Having accomplished the task, he modestly concealed his abilities and identity; this is truly being free-spirited.

...

Back at Tuya Hospital, he acted as if the rescue never happened. He went on with his usual activities without mentioning the incident to anyone.

After dinner, he bought eight white mice and returned to his dormitory to continue earning surgery Experience Points.

Every day, he silently improved his medical skills.

Describing his progress as rapid might be an understatement.

But his rate of improvement was unmatched.

Even the most prodigious talents would seem lesser in front of him.
