My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1189 - 470: Director Tang’s Kindness and the Natural Expansion of Connections

It's likely that Director Le already sensed the error in selecting the surgical approach, even without Zhou Can pointing it out.

Surgeries often proceed this way, with few opportunities for reversal. Moreover, since the patient's life isn't at immediate risk, the medical team wouldn't face accountability even if complications led to death after the procedure.

Such outcomes are regrettably unavoidable.

Prior to any operation, thorough consultations occur with the patient's family and the individual themselves, followed by the required signatures on consent forms.

These informed consent documents serve a crucial purpose.

Director Le undoubtedly crafted the surgical strategy aiming for success, yet the results fell short of hopes—a regrettable turn no one desires.

Should a follow-up surgery be scheduled now, the hospital would steadfastly deny any faults when addressing the family.

They're simply adhering to protocol.

In these matters, the patient remains clearly disadvantaged.

"Would you mind stopping by after your shift ends tonight? We can go over the secondary surgery details, and afterward, I'll handle the discussion with the family."

Director Le showed far greater prudence regarding this additional procedure.

After all, as a chief physician, he's relatively young in his role but boasts over a decade of professional experience. He's well-versed in managing complications that arise post-surgery.

"Sure!"

Zhou Can agreed without hesitation.

He always strives to assist colleagues he's worked closely with whenever they seek his help.

Director Le understands his packed daytime schedule and deliberately picked an evening slot.

This consideration reflects genuine respect and courtesy toward Zhou Can.

...

Once his shift concluded, Zhou Can quickly headed to the inpatient ward for evening rounds.

These morning and evening checks form an essential part of his routine.

The department supports him well; beyond performing operations, handling one Emergency Department shift weekly, and conducting daily rounds, they seldom burden him with further duties. Only in cases of challenging emergencies needing his input or involvement do they call on him.

Ye Tingting has returned home for recovery after discharge.

Her former bed now holds a fresh surgical case that Zhou Can himself operated on.

The rounds progressed without hitches; with Dr. Lu's disruptive presence gone, serious issues among Emergency Department inpatients have become uncommon.

Typically, the more hazardous or advanced surgeries fall under Zhou Can and Dr. Xu's direct supervision.

Meanwhile, Dr. Fu and Dr. Cui, as attending physicians, primarily assist and gain knowledge from the sidelines.

Notably, Dr. Cui entered with a solid surgical background, and since acing his attending exam, his skills rival those of entry-level attendings. In fact, he surpasses many who just advanced to the position.

Quick to pick up techniques, tirelessly dedicated, and naturally gifted in surgery, he stands out.

The Emergency Department operating room views him as a key talent to nurture.

On the other hand, Fu Chachun seems destined to remain an attending until he retires.

A worker's approach to their duties largely determines their eventual achievements and professional ceiling.

Furthermore, Fu Chachun lacks standout surgical aptitude, and at his age, the prime window for intense effort has passed long ago.

Midway through the rounds, his phone rang with a call from Pediatrics' Director Tang.

"Director Tang, is this about yet another tough case?"

Zhou Can nearly teased her, recalling how her spouse grew wary from their repeated interactions the day before, but he thought better of it.

Upon reflection, he held back.

Their professional rapport is solid but not intimate enough for lighthearted banter.

A misstep could sour things, complicating future dealings.

In professional settings, guarding one's words is vital; anything unsuitable must be avoided entirely.

"Haha... relax, I'm not summoning you for a grueling challenge this time, but to share some positive news. Since you picked up, you're likely done with surgeries. If nothing urgent demands your attention, come over quickly; it won't demand much of your schedule."

Director Tang Fei chuckled with evident joy, keeping the details under wraps.

She built up the intrigue.

Her position clearly outranks Zhou Can's by a wide margin.

Interacting with her places him at a disadvantage.

"Why all the secrecy? I've got seven more beds to review, so it'll probably take around twenty minutes to reach your office."

Zhou Can ended the conversation and resumed his rounds.

Purely surgical inpatients would have wrapped up swiftly under normal circumstances.

Yet, Emergency Internal Medicine admissions also fall under his evening checks. For newcomers, he dives deep into every detail of their records. This extra load weighs on him noticeably.

Nighttime rounds intensify the pressure with ongoing admissions.

Thankfully, Zhou Can adapted ages ago.

Plus, gaining a complete grasp of each patient's background, conditions, and care during these visits greatly boosts his expertise in diagnosis and management.

The Emergency Internal Medicine team knows their limits well; for inpatients, they route complex puzzles to specialist units, retaining straightforward, treatable, and profitable instances.

Regarding case choices, the Emergency Department holds certain advantages that spark jealousy in other areas.

Still, such practices stay behind closed doors; voicing them openly would be sheer folly.

Zhou Can wrapped up the rounds at top speed and made his way to Pediatrics roughly half an hour later, despite the twenty-minute estimate.
