Chapter 296: Sweet Dreams, All-round Surgeon
For ordinary people, they work hard all day just for three meals a day.
Making more money and living a high-quality life like rich people, this is what they dream of.
People are always pursuing a better life and things that cannot be obtained. It is this pursuit that promotes the development and competition of society. Section Chief Tang judged Zhou Can by himself and thought that Zhou Can was the same as him.
"Chief Tang, don't worry about it. I will not leave Tuya Hospital. No matter how high the price you offer me, it will be useless."
Zhou Can said bluntly.
Section Chief Tang stared at him seriously and found that Zhou Can did not seem to be joking. His eyes were sincere and his tone was firm.
"Today I have learned something new! There are people who work not for money. I can understand that some people love fame, some seek profit, and some like power. I have observed Dr. Zhou these two days, and it seems that he doesn't care about fame. You don't care about money either, so maybe you like power?"
Zhou Can is indifferent to fame and fortune, which is directly reflected in his words and actions.
Anyone with a little experience can basically see it.
"Power is indeed a good thing. No man doesn't like it. But I don't think that being a doctor is for the purpose of gaining higher power."
Zhou Can never thought of becoming a high-ranking official.
As for normal promotion in position and job within the hospital, he would certainly accept it with pleasure.
"Then what are you trying to do?" Section Chief Tang couldn't figure it out.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Ah...hahaha, I get it. Doctor Zhou is young and energetic, so his needs must be very strong. Young people don't covet fame, wealth, or power, but only love beauty. Please understand."
I really don’t know what’s going on in Section Chief Tang’s head.
According to his understanding, what men strive for all their lives is fame, wealth, power and beauty.
"Your thinking is quite...special! In fact, I already have a girlfriend." Zhou Can wanted to say that his thinking was quite weird, but when he thought that this would easily offend people, he changed his words on the spot.
"How can home flowers be as fragrant as wild flowers? Even if you have a girlfriend, you can still make new friends!" Section Chief Tang continued his logic.
"Haha, although wild flowers are fragrant, they are not as warm and attractive as domestic flowers. Moreover, domestic flowers always belong to you, while wild flowers ultimately belong to nature or others. Have you ever heard of this saying, Chief Tang?"
Zhou Can considers himself to be very loyal to love, and he has never thought of doing anything to let Su Qianqian down.
"What?"
"What a man should be most proud of is not how many girlfriends he has dated in his life, but having a woman who is willing to follow him for life."
Zhou Can said lightly.
"Well... this sentence is full of profound philosophy. I didn't expect that Dr. Zhou is so young, but his thinking is so high. I admire him." Section Chief Tang smiled awkwardly, feeling a little ashamed in front of Zhou Can. "Dr. Zhou, let me say something profound. You are young and may not know the importance of money. In life, food, clothing, social situations, everything depends on money. You can certainly have a good future if you stay and work at Tuya Hospital. But if you want to make money, you need to wait until you are promoted to the deputy senior level at least."
"With a bachelor's degree, the youngest associate professor at Tuya Hospital is 38 years old or older. This means that Dr. Zhou needs to work hard for another decade before he can start to earn more than 500,000 yuan a year. From what I know about Tuya, the chief physicians at the main hospital only make a few thousand yuan a month, and the most they make is no more than 20,000 yuan. You are 25 now, right? Getting married, having children, buying a car and a house, which one doesn't cost money?"
It's really not easy to be a man these days.
The hundreds of thousands of dollars in dowry for marrying a wife is enough to overwhelm many people.
Nowadays, there are more men than women, and many women require men to have a car and a house. At least a house in the city is required. A house in a small city costs hundreds of thousands, and it is even more terrible in big cities. The housing prices in many first-tier cities are several million.
But considering everyone's salary level, a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan is already considered high.
Many people are already burdened with debt after getting married.
Life was tight, and the couple went from the initial sweet period to the daily necessities of life. Because of the lack of money, all kinds of conflicts naturally broke out. For this reason, many newlyweds separated after one or two years of marriage and eventually ended up in divorce.
After all, having no money is the original sin.
Section Chief Tang told Zhou Can to make more money, which was actually a good intention.
But if he knew that Zhou Can was worth billions, he probably wouldn't have said that.
"Doctor Zhou, you can reconsider it. If you feel that the price you offer is too low, we can still negotiate! You don't have to rush to answer me. Familiarity is better than cure. I understand your worries and concerns. As long as you have made up your mind, you can contact me at any time. You have my phone number anyway."
After Chief Tang finished speaking, he stood up.
"I won't disturb Dr. Zhou from his work. Goodbye! By the way, I was worried that you might be hungry tonight, so I ordered some midnight snacks for you. Someone will deliver them around midnight. You can pick them up then."
No outsiders are allowed to enter the emergency room.
People who deliver takeout or late-night snacks can only deliver the food outside.
"Thank you for your trouble!"
Zhou Can did not refuse.
He had already rejected Chief Tang's attempt to recruit him, and even rejected the midnight snack that was kindly ordered by him, which would only make Chief Tang think too much.
In big matters, we should stick to principles; in small matters, we should be flexible; this is the correct way to behave.
After seeing off Section Chief Tang, Zhou Can continued reading.
At night, the pregnant woman needed to hang two bottles of drips, and he would watch over her.
For patients like this who are on invasive ventilators, the immunity of pregnant women is much lower than that of ordinary people. Anti-infection and anti-thrombosis are the two key directions of medication.
If there are other symptoms, appropriate drug treatment should be considered.
There are very strict requirements on dosage, administration method and timing.
At around twelve o'clock in the evening, a man in his fifties came with some midnight snacks.
The money has already been paid by Section Chief Tang.
The midnight snack was a serving of snails, a serving of flavored crayfish, two hot dogs, a few skewers of flavored tofu skin, and a bowl of milk-flavored boiled corn.
Except for boiled corn, the other four are common midnight snacks.
Section Chief Tang specially ordered a corn, probably because he was afraid that he would not be full.
After receiving the midnight snack, Zhou Can couldn't bring it into the emergency room.
He carried it directly to the small duty room specially prepared for him.
At this moment, nurse Ji You should be sleeping inside.
“Boom boom boom!”
Zhou Can definitely couldn’t just push the door open and walk in.
A gentleman does not bully others in secret. The nurse was sleeping in there, and he barged in without saying hello. How could that be?
"Who is it?"
A lazy and somewhat confused voice came from inside.
"Ji You, it's me! Zhou Can!"
"It's Doctor Zhou, open the door immediately!"
Ji You turned on the light in the house, walked to the door and opened it from the inside.
She only wore a round-neck T-shirt when she slept, but now she was wearing the nurse's uniform, making her look particularly charming and attractive.
Zhou Can didn't even dare to look any further.
When Ji You saw this behavior, she covered her mouth and giggled.
"Oh, it's already twelve o'clock in the evening! Leave the second half of the night to me, Doctor Zhou, have a good rest."
She raised her wrist and glanced at the delicate and small pink watch.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Someone sent me a midnight snack. See if there's anything that suits your taste?" Zhou Can put the midnight snacks on the small table and opened them one by one.
"Wow, there are snails! Oh my god, there are also flavored shrimps... Doctor Zhou, can you really give me some?"
There are very few women who are not foodies.
Seeing so many delicious foods, she was drooling.
"Haha, I'm glad you like it. I'm worried that there will be so many things. If we can't finish them, they will be wasted. Just leave this corn for me, and you can eat the rest."
Zhou Can pays more attention to health and wellness.
Midnight snacks are mostly spicy or other heavy-flavored foods, which he seldom eats on weekdays.
Ji You was so happy to see these midnight snacks, which made Zhou Can find it very interesting.
He prefers to be with this kind of real woman who is not delicate and pretentious.
She likes to eat, so giving her this as a reward is the right way to make the best use of it.
"Are you really giving it all to me?" She was overjoyed.
"Of course it's true! After you finish eating, remember to come to the emergency room to take over my shift."
Zhou Can didn't dare leave the emergency room for too long.
After all, Dr. Pang’s previous experience happened during the day.
Back in the emergency room, he waited for about half an hour, and Ji You came in with small steps.
Her lips were red from the spiciness, which made her look even more seductive.
"Sorry, the midnight snack was so delicious that I came here just now. You go to sleep and leave the second half of the night to me. I will be on duty seriously, so don't worry."
Jiyou had a genuinely happy smile on his face.
It seemed that she was particularly satisfied with this midnight snack.
"You don't need to take medicine in the second half of the night. You need to observe the urine output of the catheter. The patient's blood oxygen, blood pressure, and breathing are still the three most important monitoring signs. If there is an abnormality that you cannot handle, do not handle it yourself, and call me immediately. Just call me directly."
Zhou Can gave some instructions before leaving the emergency room.
As soon as he went out, his eyes focused slightly, and he saw a middle-aged man lying on a bench not far away.
It was the pregnant woman’s husband.
Many family members are reluctant to stay in a hotel and instead spend the night in the hospital corridors, hallways, or lying next to the bed.
Zhou Can did not disturb the big brother. He went to the toilet first and then returned to the duty room.
He ate part of it as a midnight snack, including corn, hot dogs and tofu skin, which he placed together and locked in a large plastic bag to keep warm.
She ate all the snails and left a small portion of the crayfish.
Ji You is a foodie. Although she looks so good, I didn’t expect that she can eat so much.
“Huh!”
When Zhou Can opened the bag, he unexpectedly found a note underneath.
A line of beautiful small handwriting was written on the note paper that the doctor carried with him.
"Thank you for the midnight snack! The bed is still warm, have a sweet dream!"
The handwriting was quite sloppy and crooked.
I never thought that such a beautiful girl with a good education would have such sloppy handwriting.
The content of the note was particularly easy to arouse people's imagination. After Zhou Can finished reading it, he couldn't help feeling a little strange.
He finished the remaining small portion of lobster and corn cobs and wanted to finish all the remaining delicacies, but suddenly he remembered the eldest brother in the family who was eating the steamed bun.
Carrying the remaining tofu skin and hot dogs, he went straight to the bench opposite the emergency room.
"Brother, I bought too much midnight snacks. If you don't mind, just eat a little." Zhou Can gently pushed the pregnant woman's husband.
It was only then that I discovered that this big brother had a lot of white hair on his head.
"No, no..." The man waved his hands to refuse.
The man at this moment exudes the simplicity, self-respect and self-reliance unique to country people.
Even if I am very hungry, I will not easily accept things from others.
"Eat some! It would be a waste to throw it away. It's still hot now, so just don't be disgusted."
Zhou Can stuffed the food into his eldest brother's hands and turned to leave.
"Thank you, thank you!"
The eldest brother watched Zhou Can's back disappear, then he looked down at the food in the box.
One day, he only ate two steamed buns and was already starving.
How could he have ever enjoyed the delicious food in the city?
After tasting it, I felt that all my taste buds bloomed and I began to chew the delicious food in big mouthfuls.
In the duty room, Zhou Can had already thrown away the food waste.
However, due to poor ventilation in the room, the aroma of the midnight snack was still very strong.
He closed the door but didn't lock it.
There is nothing to be afraid of when a grown man sleeps. However, sometimes thieves sneak into the hospital and steal the property of patients and their families at night.
Doctors have also been robbed, but this happens less frequently.
The quilt was the most commonly used one in the hospital, but we changed it to a clean one.
I crawled into bed and it was still warm inside.
A faint fragrance hit my nose, this is the scent of Ji You.
He lay on the bed, some erotic thoughts popped up in his mind, but they were quickly suppressed by sleepiness, and he finally fell into a deep sleep.
I slept very well that night, probably because I was really too tired.
It was around 7:30 the next morning when Ji You came to wake him up.
"Doctor Pang and Sister Chen have come to take over. They asked us to go back to the hotel to wash up, saying that Section Chief Tang specifically asked the hotel to leave breakfast for us."
Jiyou had a faint smile on his face.
After working the night shift all night, she is still energetic and radiant. I really admire her.
Section Chief Tang was so thoughtful to save breakfast for the two of them. Ji You knew in his heart that this was all thanks to Zhou Can.
Otherwise, how could she, a young nurse, receive special care from Chief Tang?
Zhou Can returned to the hotel to wash up and have breakfast, so he didn't mention it.
After he finished breakfast and returned to Xinxiang Women's and Children's Hospital, Director Zhang called him directly to the outpatient hall.
"Doctor Zhou looks pretty good. It seems like she had a good rest last night! I just went to see the pregnant woman. Her vital signs are stable and her urine output is normal. Maybe the pregnant woman is a rural woman who often does farm work and has a good physique, so she recovers much faster than ordinary people. According to her current encouraging trend, I estimate that the ventilator can be removed tomorrow morning."
Director Zhang first discussed the pregnant woman's condition with Zhou Can.
"Her recovery speed is indeed very encouraging. However, her femoral head is fractured. I have been thinking for a long time and I am afraid that the only treatment option is external fixation."
After a pregnant woman has survived the life-threatening condition caused by fat embolism, the next thing to consider is treating the fracture.
Surgery is not even a consideration.
No doctor would dare to perform this kind of fracture surgery on a mother who is five months pregnant.
Even if external fixation of fractures is performed, extreme caution must be exercised.
Because the injured area is very close to the pelvic cavity.
If miscarriage occurs, no doctor can take the responsibility.
"External fixation of fractures is a good treatment option. Xinxiang Women's and Children's Hospital does not have a doctor who specializes in orthopedic surgery. I'm afraid we have to invite an orthopedic surgeon from Tuya Hospital."
Zhang Bihua strongly agreed with Zhou Can's treatment plan.
"If Director Zhang is willing to give me the power, I can try to perform external fixation of the fracture for her." Zhou Can is almost an all-round doctor in the field of surgery.
Orthopedic surgery, he can perform most operations.
"Oh! Doctor Zhou can even perform orthopedic surgery?" Zhang Bihua looked at him in surprise. "That's great, I don't have to apply for an orthopedic surgeon from Tuya, we can do it directly. Her fracture can be fixed externally tomorrow. I will be by your side to assist you and ensure the safety of mother and baby."
When she heard that Zhou Can could perform the external fixation surgery, she immediately gave him the authority.
I didn't ask Zhou Can any more questions.
This is the trust that Zhou Can has established in Director Zhang's mind.
It would be great if a junior doctor could build a good foundation of trust with the senior doctors.
Unfortunately, many trainees are only interested in getting more training opportunities and improving their abilities.
But he ignored the problem of his own lack of strength.
One mistake could very well destroy the trust you have worked so hard to build in the minds of your senior doctors.
It will be difficult to get another opportunity to exercise next time.
In fact, this is a typical case of more haste makes waste.
"That's great! Her fracture has happened several days ago, so we really can't wait too long. And fat embolism itself is related to femoral fracture, so we should treat this fracture as soon as possible."
Zhou Can was also very happy after hearing this.
Seeing patients getting better little by little, he feels a sense of accomplishment, so he is full of anticipation every day.
