Chapter 375 Xiao Zhou returns and forms a surgical team
After three years of hard work, when he returned to the emergency department, he was no longer the weak intern he had been before.
Today, Zhou Can has obtained a medical license and has been promoted to deputy director level in many medical skills. Whether it is diagnosis ability, surgical ability, or the ability to rescue critically ill patients, or the ability to communicate with patients and their families... He has completed an all-round transformation.
After returning to the emergency department, I will be able to shoulder the heavy burden and share the worries of the department.
"You are able to stick to your original aspirations and insist on returning to the emergency department . This is a very good character. Nowadays, it is not difficult to be persistent in getting ahead, but it is the most difficult not to be persistent in getting ahead. Perhaps it is your indifference to fame and fortune that allows you to focus more on learning medical skills."
Director Tan highly praised his character.
I sighed inwardly, how could I have missed such a good seedling?
At first, he chose Gao Jian, who graduated from Imperial Capital Medical University, had a postgraduate degree, and was very talented in surgery. Three years later, Gao Jian had made great progress and was much better than the ordinary trainees of the same period.
But compared with Zhou Can, the difference is not just a little bit.
Nowadays, Zhou Can is basically used as a deputy chief physician in any department of internal medicine. And only a very capable deputy chief physician can be on par with Zhou Can.
A deputy chief physician who is just idling around, or an academic show-off, none of these three can match Zhou Can alone.
"Xiao Zhou, even if you return to work in the emergency department, you can always come to me if you have any questions in the future. I will do my best to help as long as I can."
Director Tan was really nice to him.
There are definitely some reasons. First, Zhou Can has excellent character and knows how to be grateful. Second, he has an extraordinary talent in medicine and will surely achieve amazing results in the future. Third, Zhou Can's style and personality are very much to Director Tan's liking.
What matters between people is the word "fate".
Director Tan looks very gentle, but that doesn't mean he is friendly to everyone.
When it comes to being ruthless, Director Tan is more terrifying than a general on the battlefield. No director of the Department of Internal Medicine dares to act unruly in front of Director Tan. Even a top expert like Director Yin Hua speaks politely in front of Director Tan.
If we don't have any tricks, it will be difficult to control the situation with so many medical staff in the internal medicine department.
"It is my luck and blessing to meet you. Thank you for helping me so selflessly."
Zhou Can thanked him again.
"I'm helping you. If I say I have no ulterior motive, I'm not that noble. If possible, when you grow up in the future, I hope you can lend a hand when the Internal Medicine Department needs help."
Director Tan pleaded.
"That's totally fine. Even if you don't tell me, I won't sit idly by as long as I have the ability. If you need me in the future, just ask. Even if you don't tell me, as long as I know about it, I'm thick-skinned and will definitely take the initiative to lend a hand."
Zhou Can smiled and made a promise.
His credit is absolutely golden, and the promises he makes carry great weight.
Director Tan smiled with satisfaction and said, "Haha, I just like your style of doing things. When the time comes, maybe I will really need your help! The final examination for the regular training should be on the 15th of this month, so you shouldn't be too stressed, right?"
With Zhou Can's ability, graduating from the regular training was like a piece of cake.
"I haven't taken the test yet, so I don't dare to boast. If it's just some common skills and knowledge points, I think it shouldn't be a big problem."
…
After bidding farewell to Director Tan, Zhou Can walked out of the building and felt that his life had entered a new stage. This feeling was a bit like when he first graduated from school and entered society.
This time, he will officially embark on the path of practicing medicine.
After completing the regular training, he will officially remove the titles of "intern" and "trainee", which are similar to titles of apprentices.
In the emergency department's office, Director Lou looked very happy, as if it was Chinese New Year.
Doctor Xu also couldn't hide the excitement on his face.
Even the nurse Ye Tingting was humming a cheerful tune, looking forward to Zhou Can's return.
Under their expectant gaze, a handsome and free-spirited figure quickly walked into the doctor's office in the emergency department.
"Director Lou, I have now completed my regular training and am now officially returning to the emergency department to report to you. The final examination for the regular training will be held in four days."
After Zhou Can reported to Director Lou, he looked at Dr. Xu, Ye Tingting and others.
Familiar faces smiled warmly at him, making him feel like he had returned to his long-lost home.
"Very good! The emergency department has been waiting for your return! You don't have to rush to work officially before the final exam. I will arrange for you to study in the medical technology department for four days."
Director Lou seems to have a bad temper, but he is actually a thoughtful and wise man.
In fact, he was fully aware of Zhou Can's regular training progress.
According to the requirements, Zhou Can was supposed to go to the medical technology department for a month of regular training. However, due to Zhou Can's special situation, he rotated through multiple departments of surgery and internal medicine, and three years was already very tight.
Even in the Department of Anesthesiology, Zhou Can had to squeeze out a little time every month to study with Director Feng, which was how he was able to pass the test.
Medical technology departments do not seem to have high professional requirements and often become a paradise for people with connections.
But it does not mean that medical technology is not important.
There is a lot of knowledge involved in the operation of various inspection instruments and how to interpret the inspection results.
Before doctors officially take up their posts, they are required to receive at least one month of regular training in the medical technology department. This is to enable them to understand the principles and techniques and acquire certain examination experience.
For example, when diagnosing a patient, the patient reports upper abdominal pain. If the doctor has only a vague understanding of the principles of the examination equipment, he may make mistakes when prescribing examination items for the patient.
Also, after the patient has finished the examination, he/she can show the results to the doctor. If the doctor is clear about the key points and techniques of each examination, even if the doctor in the medical technology department neglects his/her duties and performs the examination irregularly or inadequately, the attending doctor can find the problem at the first time.
At the end of the regular training, the examination for medical technology projects is also a part.
Especially how to watch movies is of paramount importance.
Zhou Can followed Director Lou's arrangement and studied in the Medical Technology Department for four days. He focused on learning various medical examination items, including B-ultrasound, color ultrasound, various CT scans, MRI, angiography, etc.
It's nonsense to say that you can learn everything in four days.
But I learned the basic operations, understood the principles of the examination, and tried to examine patients and put them into practice.
As for the most difficult part of interpreting the test results, Zhou Can had already learned it during his three years of regular training.
There was even a case where he was more accurate and capable in reading X-rays than the doctors in the medical technology department.
The final examination of the regular training on the 15th will be held in our institute.
He saw Jin Mingxi and some medical students who were attending the hospital for regular training at the same time, including some graduate students.
However, Gao Jian, Du Leng and others were not seen.
They are very lucky because the new policy on standardized training has been issued, and all undergraduates, masters and doctoral students will need to participate in three years of standardized training before they are allowed to work.
For masters and doctoral students, this means working for the hospital for a few more years for free.
The entire regular training final examination was easier than Zhou Can had imagined.
He had originally thought that the test was very difficult, and after the test, he even had an illusion that they were giving a primary school student a test paper and asking a high school student to do it.
The regular training final examination was not particularly difficult, but it was definitely not as easy as he had imagined.
The reason why he found it easy was because his current strength was too abnormal.
With all-round strength in diagnosis, surgery, etc., he is almost better than ordinary associate chief physicians and can easily defeat excellent attending physicians. Do you think it would be easy for him to take the regular training graduation examination?
After the exam, you will have to wait about twenty days for the results to be released.
There is nothing we can do about it.
The waiting time for the medical license exam will be longer. In the future, the waiting time for the chief physician exam, especially for the evaluation of associate senior and senior professional titles, and for the selection of academicians, Yangtze River Scholars, excellent young scholars, and outstanding young scholars will be even longer.
In life, you must learn to wait, and be calm and patient in doing anything.
…
After the exam, he returned to the emergency department and started his official work.
However, the hospital’s formal employment contract will not be signed with him until the results of his regular training examination are out.
During these twenty days, he was warming up in the emergency department.
In the director's office of the emergency department, Director Lou, Chief Physician Han Changqing, and Doctor Xu were all present.
"Xiao Zhou, what do you think about the work arrangement?"
Director Lou asked Zhou Can for his opinion.
Ordinary doctors do not have this treatment. They are directly assigned to the position that is vacant.
Zhou Can is a key talent and must be respected.
Otherwise, if he ran away, it would be a huge loss for the emergency department.
"I want to hear Dr. Xu's opinion!"
Zhou Can did not make the decision himself, but asked Dr. Xu to help him make the decision.
"The emergency department has been working hard over the years, but unfortunately it has never been able to break through. Now that you are back, I think starting with the operating room will be the easiest way to help the emergency department break through. In this process, your personal ability and medical skills can be improved. In addition, you have now completed the regular training and have a medical license. It is essential to have a weekly consultation, and you must also participate in the night shift. You cannot get special treatment, otherwise others will be dissatisfied, which is not conducive to the unity of the department."
Dr. Xu's considerations are quite thorough.
The proposed work direction basically coincides with Zhou Can's ideas.
Working night shifts is something every doctor needs to experience, especially young doctors, who have this obligation.
During his three years of training, Zhou Can worked night shifts very rarely.
It's definitely special treatment.
You know, the biggest headache for other interns and trainees is working the night shift.
Sometimes they have to work night shifts for more than a week, which makes them miserable.
In the past, during the regular training stage, no one said anything if we gave people special treatment.
Because he didn't stay in each department for long, only about three months at most.
Now that I'm back working in the emergency department, the nature of the situation is different.
It is like becoming a family member. If you treat others differently, they will definitely be dissatisfied. They may not say it, but they will be alienated in their hearts.
"I agree with everything the teacher said, and performing surgery has always been my favorite. I have a request, and I beg Director Lou and Director Han to approve it."
Zhou Can took the opportunity to put forward his request.
"Tell me about it!"
Director Lou did not agree rashly.
"I want to form my own surgical team, with fixed surgical nurses and assistants. Of course, I also understand that the department is short of staff. I guarantee that the number of surgeries completed each month will be commensurate with the total number of people in my surgical team."
Zhou Can had already had the idea of forming a surgical team.
Especially after hearing the story about the super doctor abroad, a seed was planted in his heart.
He wants to become China's super doctor and build a highly professional team.
"No problem, I can agree to this. Now that you have learned the rules, you want to have your own team and build a career, which is a good thing." Director Lou is the boss of the emergency department. He nodded, and there was basically no problem with this matter.
"Thank you, Director Lou. I have another request. I want you to give me the greatest autonomy possible, and let me schedule the working hours and tasks of my surgical team members. Is that okay with you? When the department needs it, our team will definitely fully cooperate and support. In my daily work, I hope I won't be disturbed, which will help the surgical team become more professional and stronger."
Zhou Can promised Qiao Yu that after he returned from his studies, he would make her a full-time surgical nurse and would no longer let her be bullied.
With the right to self-management from Director Lou, the working hours of the surgical team members can be guaranteed and they will not be easily transferred away.
If they make an agreement in advance and follow the rules when the time comes, Zhou Can won't have to worry about any complications.
Some despicable people can't stand others doing well.
Seeing that his surgical team was developing well, it was quite annoying for him to create obstacles from time to time and transfer members of the surgical team to do other things.
"Okay, it's up to you in this matter as well!"
Director Lou was obviously hesitant when he agreed to this matter.
Finally I agreed.
He also knew that it was not easy for Zhou Can to return to work in the emergency department.
Zhou Can is no longer the undergraduate student who was despised at the end of his internship. Instead, he is a talented person who has grown strong and can soar to the sky. All major departments are vying for him.
"Thanks!"
Zhou Can's request was granted and he began to select his generals.
He has not yet been able to decide on a surgical assistant. It will take some time to know whether an assistant is suitable for him.
He already had a candidate for the surgical nurse.
"Operation nurse, I want Qiao Yu to be my partner. Is that okay with you?"
Director Lou narrowed his eyes slightly and a vague smile appeared on his face.
"Don't you already have a girlfriend? Why are you always thinking about other girls? Qiao Yu is indeed very good. She is currently working in the intensive care unit of our emergency department and is highly regarded by the director of the nursing department."
Zhou Can and Qiao Yu have an unusual relationship, and this matter certainly cannot be hidden from Director Lou's eyes.
In the past, Zhou Can didn’t have a girlfriend, so Director Lou naturally wouldn’t say much.
Now he is worried that Zhou Can, a good seedling, will have his future ruined because of his work style issues.
There is nothing wrong with a man being romantic; it's his nature.
But if you don't handle it well, it's very easy to get into trouble.
Out of consideration for Zhou Can's future, Director Lou was reluctant to allow Qiao Yu to perform the operation together with Zhou Can.
Love grows over time.
The two of them already had an extraordinary relationship, and if they worked together every day, and Qiao Yu was young and beautiful, it would be especially easy for sparks to fly.
"Don't get me wrong. Qiao Yu and I are good friends. We are not in a relationship. I work with her because we have a good rapport and it helps improve the efficiency of the surgery."
Zhou Can explained with a serious face.
"Lao Xu, do you think this is a good idea?" Director Lou didn't want to reject Zhou Can directly.
We can only leave this matter to Dr. Xu.
After all, Dr. Xu had a closer relationship with Zhou Can and was his teacher. Zhou Can would not feel any resentment if Dr. Xu rejected the matter.
"I think it's OK! Xiao Zhou has always been sensible in what he does, and his moral character can also stand the test. Not to mention that he is not married yet, even if he is married, there will be no problem. If he really wants to have an extramarital affair and flirt with other women, we can't prevent it even if we want to. It's better to let go than to block, so I think this matter will be as he wishes."
Dr. Xu knows Zhou Can better.
The analysis makes a lot of sense.
