My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 90 - 84: The Agreement with Qiao Yu
The next day at work, he was cornered by Qiao Yu.
"Hey, I transferred you half the money for the milk tea, why didn't you accept it?"
"Really, it's not necessary."
Zhou Can was somewhat speechless with her.
He had never seen such a stubborn girl.
Once she set her mind on something, not even nine bulls could pull her back.
"Are you saying it's too little?" she asked, tilting her beautiful and unconventional face.
"I give up, okay, I'll take it!"
Zhou Can opened WeChat and accepted the money in front of her.
Then he sent a thank-you expression with 'Thanks, boss lady.'
Pfft!
She chuckled, "Who's the boss lady, you're sending it to the wrong person!"
"Hey, I want to discuss something with you!"
Zhou Can took this opportunity to make a small request.
"Go ahead!"
Her pure and large eyes gazed at Zhou Can.
"I really enjoy doing surgeries with you. Could you arrange for more morning shifts?" Zhou Can had teamed up with Tian Tian for two days and it was really unbearable.
Doing surgeries with Tian Tian was sheer torture.

If it went on like this, his life would be several years shorter.
Compared to that, doing surgeries with Qiao Yu was truly a pleasure.
The whole process was a joy, saving lots of trouble.
And the surgical efficiency was top-notch.
"I'm on the morning shift today! After work, I'll talk to the head nurse to see if she can schedule me for more morning shifts. But I'm not too hopeful. Although nurses are not as understaffed as doctors, I usually spend more time in the infusion room, and constantly assigning me to the operating room as an assistant would make the other nurses unhappy."
Qiao Yu's face bloomed with a happy smile when she heard how much Zhou Can enjoyed doing surgeries with her.
But the nursing shift arrangements were much more complicated than imagined.
Especially in the Emergency Department.
Many nurses hold multiple roles, and fixed positions are generally assigned to nurses with strong professional skills or seniority.
Qiao Yu was just a newcomer and unlikely to enjoy such treatment.
Of course, if one had a powerful backing, all rules could be broken.
"You just try it, and if it doesn't work, forget about it. Once I gain some standing in the Emergency Department, if you're willing, I'll talk directly to Director Lou," Zhou Can thought for a moment and said seriously.
"Mhm!"
She nodded in agreement, slightly embarrassed.
Zhou Can didn't say anything more, but he set a small goal for himself.
To achieve success as soon as possible.
Getting results wasn't that hard to speak of.
As long as he elevated most of his medical skills to the Chief Level or above, he would be able to wield some influence in the Emergency Department.
After all, he still had Dr. Xu as his support.
Even a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
Although Dr. Xu had been demoted and transferred to the Emergency Department after an incident, his status there was not low. This could be seen from Director Lou's attitude towards him.
...
In the operating room, Zhou Can got his wish to work on surgeries with Qiao Yu today.
Having her as his assistant was awesome.
Plus, Zhou Can had improved his medical skills in the past two days, and the speed of surgeries increased significantly.
Jin Mingxi was once again outperformed by him.
Today, Zhou Can performed five surgeries, while Jin Mingxi only completed three.
Zhou Can was exceptionally powerful today, and Dr. Xu noticed.
A smile appeared in his eyes.
But he said nothing.
Jin Mingxi felt a sense of despair. Zhou Can must have been cheating today.
Yesterday, Zhou Can did five surgeries, and Jin Mingxi could at least do four.
Why had the gap widened so much today?
Jin Mingxi instinctively looked at Qiao Yu, seeming to understand a bit.
A weird smile appeared on his face.
A good horse indeed needs a good saddle!
And adding a bit of youthful hormones, that made it even more formidable.
Around eleven in the morning, Dr. Xu received a phone call.
"Zhou Can, the Medical Department is asking for you to come over immediately."
"Alright."
Zhou Can had just finished a surgery and hadn't called in a new patient yet.
"Did you work overtime yesterday?"
Dr. Xu asked with some concern.
"Nope!"
Zhou Can left work as soon as his shift ended yesterday, first rented out his house, then went back to his apartment and earnestly practiced surgery until midnight.
"Didn't stir up any trouble, did you?"
Dr. Xu, with much more experience, knew that the Medical Department wouldn't invite a resident doctor over for tea without reason.
Usually, it meant trouble had occurred. They would first summon the person to inquire about the situation.
And then proceed with further actions.
"I shouldn't have."
Zhou Can carefully recalled the events, he neither had any disputes with patients nor made any major mistakes in diagnosis and treatment.
However, he indeed performed many surgeries these past few days.
It's hard to guarantee that nothing unexpected happened.
At this moment, his thought shifted as if he had realized something.
"Teacher, don't worry, perhaps it's because I saved a child choking on a foreign object on the subway yesterday. It might be a good thing." The only thing Zhou Can could think of was this incident.
Although he didn't leave his name at the time,
the nurse from the Tuya Second Hospital kept asking questions, and he answered them all.
It wouldn't be difficult to find him if necessary.
"I don't think that's the tone. You better go and check it out." Dr. Xu's eyebrows were still furrowed.
He had finally taken on a very talented apprentice and was worried that something might go wrong.
"Qiao Yu, sorry, go ahead and take care of other things!"
Zhou Can looked at his partner.
"It's okay. You... be smart!"
She finally squeezed out three words.
But her eyes conveyed concern and anxiety.
"Heh, am I not smart enough?" Zhou Can was amused by her.
Yet he felt quite warm inside.
"You're just a bit better than the second senior brother! Giggle…" She laughed along, and the tense atmosphere seemed to have relaxed quite a bit.
"Zhou Can, sometimes the Medical Department can be quite deceptive. It's always good to be cautious."
Jin Mingxi had worked in People's Hospital for over a decade and was very familiar with every department of the hospital.
The Medical Department's main responsibility is medical business, always prioritizing the hospital's interests.
One could say, all administrative departments are heartless machines.
"I will."
Zhou Can agreed and left the operating room, heading to the office of the Medical Department.
He knocked on the door.
"Who are you looking for?"
The female clerk sitting closest to the door looked up at him.
"I'm Zhou Can from the Emergency Department, the Medical Department informed me to come over."
"Oh, it's Dr. Zhou. Vice Director Yin is already waiting for you in Conference Room No. 2. Go quickly, it's right next door."
She pointed to the right.
"Okay, thank you."
As Zhou Can entered Conference Room No. 2, he faintly heard someone yelling in the nearby medical dispute resolution room.
"The child's ribs are broken in three places, you must give us an explanation..."
He didn't know which doctor had caused trouble this time, breaking a child's ribs.
However, some family members are unreasonable, insisting it's the doctor's fault when it clearly isn't.
Zhou Can had encountered several unreasonable family members or patients during his internship.
Some would make a scene just to get a reduction in their medical bills.
Or they believed they were right, just by briefly searching on Baidu or hearing things through the grapevine, and questioned whether the doctor's procedure was incorrect.
Dealing with such patients or family members was a huge headache for the doctors.
After working hard all day saving lives, they still needed to communicate patiently with families.
Sometimes, it could lead to a few punches from the family members or even getting hit with a stool.
That's why the chairs provided for family members now are of only two types. Either immovable benches or light plastic stools.
In case a family member or patient goes berserk, throwing a chair wouldn't cause too serious an injury to the doctors.
Zhou Can walked into Conference Room No. 2 and found that there was only one middle-aged woman with a hint of authority on her face.
What matter could be so important as to have a vice director personally meet with him, a mere resident?
