Chapter 402: The higher the level, the harder it is to advance. Doctors should not only focus on money
Cardiothoracic surgery is not just Xueyan's department, Zhou Can is also a part of it.
Before his death, Director Hu told Zhou Can to assist Director Xueyan in managing the cardiothoracic surgery department. Especially in the event of a major crisis, he must help Xueyan.
Now, competitors in the field of cardiothoracic surgery are all showing off their unique skills.
Zhou Can also saw it and was worried.
After dinner, Zhou Can went back to the emergency operating room to perform surgery.
He hoped that his surgical skills could be further improved. Unfortunately, after reaching level 5, the improvement of medical skills became difficult and the advancement became extremely slow.
When I was only at the intern level, I was able to upgrade my hemostasis skills from level one to level two in one night.
Even though there are a lot of patients to provide him with practice opportunities, it takes 100,000 experience points to upgrade from level 5 to level 6. It's too hard to earn.
Even when performing some level 3 surgeries, there is a chance to earn an additional reward of 100 points and 10 experience points.
It is extremely difficult to accumulate 100,000 experience points in any medical skill.
Ultimately, he needs time.
As long as he has five or six years of accumulation and sedimentation, his multiple medical skills can be promoted to the director level without any suspense.
Zhou Can worked until around seven in the afternoon before he finished his work.
I worked for more than an hour longer than usual.
Thirty-four surgeries were completed today, including two level 3 surgeries.
He wants to speed up the upgrading of medical technology through this silent effort.
Director Hu Kan taught him all the difficult level 3 and 4 operations in cardiothoracic surgery. Even if there were some things he didn't have time to teach, Director Hu Kan's medical notes were passed on to Zhou Can and Xueyan.
Zhou Can could completely master the surgical methods by reading those medical books and notes.
However, surgical skills and practical operations cannot be mastered by reading books. They can only be mastered through repeated practice, accumulation, and then breakthroughs. It is like writing a Chinese character. If you practice calligraphy frequently, a talented person can write it with plump and graceful characters. People who have not practiced may write it crookedly and sloppily.
One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage.
Although the chief physicians appear to be extremely cool and domineering when completing difficult surgeries, people may not know that they have performed thousands of surgeries to acquire such superb surgical skills.
Expensive robotic surgery still cannot completely replace humans to this day.
Why?
It is precisely because of its lack of flexibility that it is unable to handle complex surgical operations.
However, human chief surgeons can achieve perfection when performing difficult operations, creating surgical legends time and time again and giving birth to miracles of life.
…
After get off work, Dr. Xu, who had been accompanying Zhou Can, smiled. "Xiao Zhou, it seems that the conversation I had with you yesterday had a significant effect! Your team is working harder than ever."
Dr. Xu thought that Zhou Can suddenly extended his working hours because of the conversation last night.
"Well... we young people don't mind fighting a little harder! Once we use up our energy, we can regenerate it. It's getting late now, how about I treat everyone to a meal?"
Zhou Can looked at several members of the team, including Dr. Xu.
Zhou Can is not qualified to perform second and third level surgeries independently now, and is completely taking advantage of a loophole in the surgical access system.
One of the rules is that level tertiary surgery requires a senior attending physician, associate chief physician, or chief physician with relevant experience to preside over it.
Dr. Xu was once one of the top chief physicians in surgery.
After being downgraded, you can no longer participate in level 4 surgery.
But he can perform level 3 surgery in the emergency department.
Even if someone checks on Zhou Can, there is no need to worry. At that time, Dr. Xu will be the first to stand up and say that he is the main surgeon. Zhou Can only participated in part of the operation and was guided by him all the time.
Moreover, as long as nothing goes wrong during the operation, the public will not report it and the government will not investigate it.
No outsiders are allowed to enter the operating room.
Doctor Xu took great pains to arrange an operating room for Zhou Can, and set it up inside.
If there is any disturbance, Dr. Xu will be the first to know about it.
This will help avoid risks that may be caused by external factors.
The only risk lies with Zhou Can himself.
The biggest risk factor is that he had an accident during the operation.
"Okay, okay!"
When they heard that Zhou Can was treating them, Qiao Yu and Ma Xiaolan both applauded.
"Dr. Zhou is so generous!" Luo Shishen is just an intern now. Not only does he have no income, but he also has to pay money to the hospital. If someone invites him to dinner, he will be more than happy to do so.
"You guys go ahead. I won't go! I have food ready for me at home."
Doctor Xu refused to join in the fun.
"Wow, Dr. Xu must have a very virtuous wife. How romantic!"
Qiao Yu has always been yearning for beautiful love.
When she heard that Dr. Xu had hot meals when he got home, she was so envious.
"The teacher has never mentioned the teacher's wife to us !"
Zhou Can knew nothing about Dr. Xu's family situation. He only heard Dr. Xu complain that he had to take out most of his salary to compensate the family of the victim of the medical accident.
From this point, it can be inferred that Dr. Xu’s financial situation must not be very good.
At Tuya Hospital, even residents can afford to buy a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan as long as they have worked for a long time. Dr. Xu has always been the main force in the emergency department's operating room, earning more than 20,000 yuan a month, but he can't afford a car.
As you can imagine, his family's financial situation is not very good.
It is said that poor couples have many worries.
When a family is in financial distress, it is very easy for the couple to quarrel over trivial matters such as food, clothing, housing, and children's tuition.
"You guys go ahead, I'm leaving first!"
Dr. Xu seemed reluctant to talk about private family matters.
But from his expression, it can be seen that when Qiao Yu praised Dr. Xu's wife, his expression was one of enjoyment and acquiescence.
This means that he probably has a good wife who silently supports and accompanies him.
He was demoted from chief physician to attending physician, and also compensated the victim's family with a large sum of money. Moreover, after the incident, he also voluntarily took out most of his monthly salary to compensate the victim's family.
His wife did not make a fuss or divorce him, but always supported and stayed with him.
Fortunately, he had met such a good wife. Zhou Can finally understood what Dr. Xu said when he came back from Director Hu Kan’s memorial service that day.
He went out to dinner with the other three members of the surgical team, so he didn't mention it.
There is no need to look for a high-end restaurant.
Qiao Yu said she wanted to eat Sichuan cuisine. She knew a Sichuan restaurant that was affordable and had authentic flavors. The other two responded. Zhou Can naturally would not refuse Qiao Yu's request.
The three of them provided great help to Zhou Can during the operation, and Qiao Yu was an important contributor.
It's only right to reward her after get off work.
This kind of dinner also helps the surgical team become more united.
This is the culture of China. The drinking culture has been popular since ancient times. After eating together, the relationship will naturally become more familiar.
The reason why Ma Xiaolan dared to be so presumptuous yesterday was because she had had a meal with Zhou Can.
He thinks he has a close relationship with Zhou Can.
“Is that Sichuan restaurant far from the hospital?”
Zhou Can was still thinking about finishing his meal and then buying some gifts to visit Cao Guozheng.
Try to find the two main medicines my wife needs as soon as possible and cure her as soon as possible.
"It's about three kilometers long. It's called General Cheng's Sichuan Restaurant. Have you ever been there?"
Qiao Yu took out his cell phone, opened the navigation and searched the coordinates directly.
Then show it to Zhou Can.
"I really didn't realize that Sister Qiao Yu usually lives a very comfortable life! I only dare to go to a restaurant once or twice a year."
Ma Xiaolan had a falling out with Qiao Yu yesterday, and after being "severely beaten", she learned her lesson.
Now I actively seek every opportunity to repair my relationship with Qiao Yu.
Many nurses and doctors actually cherish the job opportunities they have. Tuya Hospital itself is also very difficult to enter.
Many people spend money to find connections but still may not be able to get in.
"Haha, I don't eat out every day! I only went there twice with my teacher during my internship, and I thought the food there was really good. One hundred and sixty or seventy yuan should be enough for the four of us, and it's not so expensive that it's unacceptable."
Going to a restaurant and spending more than 40 yuan per person is not really expensive.
For most ordinary working class people, eating out and having a big meal requires careful calculation of the price. A few dozen yuan per person is generally acceptable to everyone.
In a luxurious star-rated hotel like that, a meal would cost over a thousand yuan, or even several thousand yuan per table, which is unaffordable for most people.
Zhou Can usually eats either at home or in the hospital’s student and staff cafeteria.
He has also eaten some in the big hotel.
The only thing is that Qiao Yu mentioned that there are few restaurants with working-class consumption levels. It would be nice to follow a few people to experience the happy life of the working class.
Going to a restaurant, even if the meal costs 40 yuan, is considered a luxury by the working class.
Just like the New Year or other festivals.
"Send me the coordinates and let's drive over there!"
Zhou Can said to Qiao Yu.
"I don't have a car, so I can just hitchhike with you." Qiao Yu had seen Zhou Can's Mercedes-Benz and knew that his financial situation should be good.
"I don't have a car either! Is it convenient for me, Doctor Zhou?"
Ma Xiaolan also doesn’t have a car.
“Convenient, convenient!”
Zhou Can readily agreed.
"Master, add me!"
Luo Shishen said quickly.
"Just call me Doctor Zhou or Zhou Can from now on!"
Zhou Can was slightly stunned. Unknowingly, he had become a teacher in the eyes of others.
However, in his mind, the word "master" was very sacred and could not be used casually. Although he taught Luo Shishen a lot of surgical experience and skills, he did not intend to take him as an apprentice.
On the one hand, Luo Shishen's character did not meet Zhou Can's requirements. On the other hand, Luo Shishen's talent was only relatively good, which was also not in Zhou Can's eyes.
Leading him and teaching him now is just fulfilling my duty of supporting newcomers.
"You have been very tolerant of me over the past month and have taught me all kinds of valuable surgical knowledge, which has helped me make great progress. I have long regarded you as my master."
Luo Shishen is usually very thin-skinned, but today he is a little thick-skinned.
It seems that he still relies on Zhou Can.
"That's really not necessary. I teach this to every newcomer. When I was an intern, my senior doctors also taught me this."
Zhou Can waved his hand.
"Wait for me at the back door of the hospital. I'll drive out right away."
After saying this, Zhou Can did not continue to discuss this topic with Luo Shishen and left directly.
Luo Shishen's expression was somewhat lonely.
It is not easy for an intern to get a big leg. Those capable senior doctors have very high standards and look down on ordinary doctors. As for deputy directors and chief physicians, it is even more unnecessary.
When they accept disciples, they choose the best among the best. If you are not particularly outstanding, you will not be able to catch their eyes.
Soon, Zhou Can drove out in a Mercedes-Benz.
He honked the horn at the three people waiting on the roadside, lowered the passenger window and called out, "Get in!"
Qiao Yu had seen his Mercedes-Benz, so his expression was relatively calm.
When Ma Xiaolan saw that Zhou Can was driving a Mercedes-Benz worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, her face was filled with shock.
"Wow, Dr. Zhou is so rich!"
As she spoke, she walked to the passenger seat and prepared to open the door.
"You two ladies, please sit in the back! Mr. Luo, you sit in the front."
Zhou Can said lightly.
To be honest, Ma Xiaolan's actions just now would only make him look down on her.
"Come on, let's sit in the back. Dr. Zhou is already taken, so how could he allow another lady to sit in the passenger seat?" Qiao Yu reminded Ma Xiaolan.
It is undeniable that a doctor like Zhou Can, who is skilled in medicine, young, handsome and wealthy, has strong competitiveness in the eyes of young female doctors and nurses.
If he is a scumbag, he can definitely become a breeding boar with just a snap of his fingers.
"Why do successful men always get married early? When I look for a boyfriend in the future, I will look for one who is as good as Dr. Zhou."
After hearing this, Ma Xiaolan felt a little disappointed.
"Haha, Doctor Zhou's level is quite high." Qiao Yu glanced at Zhou Can dimly.
If she had been bolder and confessed her feelings in front of Su Qianqian, she might still have a chance.
Now, I can only grieve in secret.
"Tsk tsk, a luxury car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars is just different. I feel like a noble person when I sit in it!" After Luo Shishen got into the car, his face was full of envy.
In his eyes, Zhou Can is his goal.
His words broke the silence at the right time and made everyone laugh.
"Doctor Zhou, can I ask you a question?"
Luo Shishen still looked excited.
"you say!"
Zhou Can looked straight ahead. There were a lot of vehicles and pedestrians on the road behind the hospital, and it was easy to get scratched if one was not careful.
Scratching someone else's car is a small matter, but if you hit someone, it would be a big trouble.
These days, people are more expensive than cars.
Even if the person who was hit only had minor injuries, or even just a scratch, he could lie on the ground holding his legs and complain about pain here and there. It was normal for him to stay in the hospital for ten days or half a month without being discharged.
Just wait for the car owner to pay a large sum of money.
"Can you tell me how much I can earn after I become a formal doctor? My parents have supported me to study for so many years, but now I can't earn a penny and I have to pay money to the hospital. If I can earn 200,000 or 300,000 yuan a year after graduation, it will be worth it."
Luo Shishen expressed the thoughts of most medical students.
After studying hard for many years, you can do internship in the last year after graduation. After entering the hospital, you have to undergo regular training for another three years. Who can be happy with a salary of 2,000 yuan a month for a master's or doctoral degree?
"Doctor Luo, first of all, I can tell you that I didn't buy this car with the money I earned as a doctor. Secondly, as a doctor, if you only think about how to make a lot of money, nine out of ten will go astray. The saying that doctors have a benevolent heart may be a bit far-fetched, but only when doctors work hard to pursue medical skills can they become great doctors. Otherwise, if you go in the wrong direction, you are doomed to be chasing after fish in a tree."
Zhou Can really has a lot of back pain when talking without any hesitation.
Instead, I believe that being a doctor should not just be about money.
As their medical skills improve and their job ranks rise, their income will naturally not be bad. Many of Tuya's attending physicians earn 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a month. Some associate and senior doctors earn more than one million yuan a year.
If they had only thought about how to cheat patients and increase their income, they would not have achieved great medical achievements.
God is very fair.
When people pursue something, they always need to give up something.
