My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1514 - 611: Irreplaceable, Tackling the Neurological Challenge (2)

At this moment, the two of them seemed to have returned to the relaxed state they had when they first met.The key is a pure mind.

"Come on, you keep talking..." She stomped her foot. "Don’t you know that unmarried girls hate hearing things like ’leftover fighters’ or ’older leftover women’?"

"Haha, my mistake, my mistake. By the way, have you sorted out your study abroad tuition fees? If you need anything, feel free to call me or text me." Zhou Can said seriously.

For ordinary people, tuition fees for studying abroad are an unavoidable hurdle.

"I’ve benefited from doing surgeries with you these past years, income has been decent. I haven’t been spending frivolously either. I bought two tech stocks, checked them yesterday, they’re doing well. I’m planning to sell them all tomorrow. I estimate that should cover three years of tuition. Plus, I can get some part-time work over there for living expenses. Jiang Wei taught me quite a few survival skills, I’m pretty confident in myself."

It’s truly surprising that Qiao Yu didn’t just save money in the bank or buy a car or house, but invested in stocks instead.

Fortunately, she didn’t lose money but made quite a bit instead.

Buying stocks is almost like gambling; when a bear market hits, even stock market experts doubt life.

This shows she has a certain business acumen and a spirit of adventure.

"I know you’re a millionaire. If I need help, I’ll turn to you then."

After saying that, she added.

"Alright!"

Zhou Can nodded solemnly.

Though he has money, he never readily promises to lend it to others.

It’s only to the best friends like Dr. Xu, Qiao Yu, Director Xue Yan, Li Lao that he would let down his guard.

In this day and age, lending money makes you grandpa, but when collecting debts you’re a grandson.

Nobody dares to lend money easily.

After reaching an agreement with Qiao Yu, Zhou Can finished his meal, checked the ward, and started researching the young boy’s illness.

The boy suffered high-level paraplegia due to a high fall.

Based on clinical experience, almost all high-level paraplegia relates to neck injuries.

If it’s only a spinal injury, typically one shouldn’t experience high-level paraplegia but lower limb paralysis.

Those who have undergone spinal anesthesia know that once the anesthesia takes effect, there is no feeling in the lower limbs at all, can’t even stand let alone walk.

Lower limb paralysis feels pretty much the same.

Once, a young female patient was violated by a doctor during a check-up but was completely unaware due to her lower limb paralysis, having no sensation. She thought the doctor’s unusual actions were routine examinations.

She began to suspect only after discovering her pregnancy later. After a difficult investigation and evidence collection by the police, and matching the child’s DNA, the audacious doctor was finally captured.

Later, the doctor confessed that the female patient was simply too beautiful, and combined with her lack of sensation due to lower limb paralysis, he couldn’t resist his evil thoughts in that moment, committing an atrocious crime.

Normally, when a male doctor examines a female patient, the hospital requires a third party to be present.

And this third party should be a female.

It can be a female nurse or female doctor.

But there are always oversights. If you encounter a brave audacious doctor, in an environment conducive to evil thoughts, it’s easy for things to go wrong.

Zhou Can held the boy’s neck examination report, analyzing and judging carefully.

Unfortunately, there was little gain.

He decided to visit Director Yin Hua of the Neurology Department.

This director is a top figure in neurology, having emperor-like status in Tuya Hospital’s talented environment, due to genuine skills.

Director Yin has always had a good relationship with Zhou Can.

They often discuss neurological or surgical difficult cases.

Director Yin’s knowledge and experience in the neurology field surpass Zhou Can considerably. However, Zhou Can often has his unique insights regarding neurosurgery and neurological diagnoses.

Even Director Yin Hua cannot help but admire him.

The time is already quite late, approaching seven-thirty in the afternoon, and the chief physicians usually finish work promptly by about five-thirty.

Once time’s up, they immediately leave.

Overtime is generally done by interns, trainees, and resident doctors.

Even training doctors are slick, giving excuses like physical discomfort or important matters to avoid overtime, finding numerous and seemingly legitimate reasons.

"Director Yin, hello!"

"Is it Xiao Zhou! You haven’t come for tea here in a while, when will you come and sit down?" Director Yin Hua was happy to receive his call.

He warmly invited him for tea.

"Missed you, are you home now?"

Zhou Can occasionally says a mushy remark to doctors above him.

This is just a need of normal social interaction and is a form of emotional expression.

He respects and is happy to be close to medical seniors like Director Yin Hua and Director Tan.

"I wanted to go home early to hug my grandchild, but I’ve got piles of work. You’re helping boost Cardiothoracic Surgery, and their business volume and quality have risen, putting immense pressure on our Internal Medicine department. These guys in Neurology haven’t been doing well, still can’t perform interventional surgeries properly, often making me clean up their mess. I’m researching a difficult case in the office right now!"

Director Yin complained about the rise of Cardiothoracic Surgery.

Neurology has done well, being among the main departments at Tuya Hospital.

Now that Cardiothoracic Surgery has risen, other departments naturally feel the pressure.

Especially the Internal Medicine side.

Director Tan and Director Xie have long been vying, usually coming to a draw.

However, now the surgery department is thriving intensely.

First, General Surgery successfully reformed, progressing from a comprehensive department to multiple sub-departments, akin to a dragon dividing into nine sons, achieving success in both volume and reputation.

Then, Cardiothoracic Surgery rose strongly with Zhou Can’s help.

Despite the unfavorable passing of Director Hu Kan and facing encirclements by large hospitals, it has still risen strongly, making this achievement incredibly dazzling.

That’s also why Director Xue Yan could easily ascend to vice-president with this achievement alone.

The Surgery side is prosperous, but Internal Medicine remains tepid.

There’s quite a stark contrast.

From Director Tan to the department heads, they’re all under tremendous pressure.

However, special talents like Zhou Can are hard to find in Tuya Hospital. Even if Internal Medicine tries harder, the results are minimal.

No wonder Director Yin Hua complained.

"You’re still here? That’s great, I’ve encountered a difficult case myself and would like your advice. I’ll come over right now, wait for me!"

Zhou Can was elated to hear Director Yin Hua hadn’t left yet.

He hurriedly took the patient’s records to the Neurology Department.

The entire Tuya Hospital is divided into multiple campuses, internally very large. New patients feel like they’re entering a maze.

Even with route markers and signs everywhere, it’s still easy to get lost.

The teaching and administrative buildings are separate.

The clinical buildings are basically connected.

Having worked in the hospital for so many years, Zhou Can can find his way with his eyes closed.

It took him less than ten minutes to reach Director Yin’s office in the Neurology Department.

He knocked and entered.

"You don’t come for tea without a reason, every time you visit me, it’s because you need something. Can’t you just come without any other reason just to see me?" Director Yin Hua, typically serious, chatted casually as if he were friends with Zhou Can.

"Hehe, I do intend to, but I’m usually really busy, barely finding time for the restroom. Please don’t hold it against me!"

Zhou Can chuckled awkwardly in explanation.

"This was an Emergency Department patient we received today, a barely three-year-old child who fell from a stair while playing in a bouncy castle. The height was about three meters, with cushions beneath, but somehow it resulted in high-level paraplegia. The child’s father is a border soldier; the incident happened while the mother was taking the child out to play. Now she feels extremely guilty, under enormous pressure."

"The bouncy castle owner is also in a tough spot. If the child can be treated, the family can return to its former happiness. Otherwise, I worry the family might always live under a cloud from now on."

Without hesitation, he handed over all the child’s check-up materials, previous medical records, and hospital files to Director Yin Hua.

He also explained the family situation.

A compassionate doctor understands the hearts of parents.

In situations like these, everyone sympathizes, striving harder and doing their utmost to help in treatment.
