In the Emergency Department, nurses buzz about a car accident victim initially thought pregnant, but Dr. Zhou Can diagnoses it as pseudopregnancy after noting the detected fetal heartbeat matches the woman's own, revealing no actual fetus. The patient, also carrying syphilis and HIV, insists on transferring to another hospital despite the findings. Later, en route to Cardiothoracic Surgery, Zhou Can senses he's being followed amid reflections on challenging patients, then checks on an improving blood pneumothorax case and receives seven complex referrals from department directors.

Zhou Can holds a mixture of affection and irritation towards these tough cases.

A situation that baffles even a director or deputy chief physician is undoubtedly highly complex. Being merely mortal, despite his talent and guidance from Director Hu Kan, Zhou Can still needs to exert massive effort to crack such intricate problems.

Occasionally, he just can't figure them out.

In those instances, pulling together the department's collective expertise becomes essential, and sometimes consulting specialists from other areas too.

Overcoming these tough challenges proves immensely rewarding for Zhou Can.

It sharpens his diagnostic and therapeutic skills, boosts his hands-on clinical knowledge, and brings substantial Experience Points bonuses.

It's worth pointing out that resolving every difficult case doesn't guarantee hefty Experience Points gains.

Certain hard cases pose great difficulties for fellow physicians.

Yet for Zhou Can, they turn out somewhat straightforward.

Such instances might grant him no more than 10 additional Experience Points at best, or perhaps nothing whatsoever.

Near 7:20, a nurse approached to prompt him.

"Dr. Zhou, they're calling for you in the operating room. Anesthesia's prepared, and the operation's set to commence."

"Got it, heading over immediately!"

With little option, Zhou Can hurried to the operating room.

He stepped inside, donned the proper attire, and joined the surgical zone. Director Xue Yan and the rest of the team were all set.

Today's initial procedure involved the patient moved from Xinxiang Hospital, suffering from an infected chest wound and sternum.

The plan called for excising the synthetic material, cleaning the area thoroughly, and rebuilding the chest wall.

This represented a substantial undertaking.

Multiple technical hurdles lay ahead.

Should the lead surgeon lack the necessary proficiency, it could necessitate teamwork with the Orthopedics department.

"Zhou Can, we're all set for you to lead!"

Director Xue Yan remarked with a grin.

Clearly, she's rapidly recovering from the pain of her split. I sincerely wish her a worthy partner in the years ahead.

At times, life's fortunes can seem profoundly unjust.

Fine women end up with scoundrels, while solid men pair with undeserving partners or those chasing wealth.

Only encountering the ideal match at the perfect moment allows them to journey together lifelong, discovering real joy.

Lately, rising divorce figures might not be wholly negative.

It could encourage both genders to value their precious unions more deeply. When it comes to elevated divorce rates, the United States likely tops the list.

Folks there boldly end marriages the moment they sense it's untenable.

They could even split over minor spats, like the way a toothbrush sits.

In contrast to these advanced Western nations, our country's circumstances remain far superior.

"I'm prepared to lead; Sister Yan and the directors only need to support me." Zhou Can smiled and nodded. His eyes then shifted to the anesthesiologist. "Ah, Mr. Feng's here as well!"

"Director Xue feared any complications, so she specifically requested my presence to supervise."

Director Feng arrived with a couple of his trainees.

He's mentored more than simply Zhou Can. Relative to these dedicated anesthesiologists, Zhou Can counts as just a novice.

"Let's get the operation underway swiftly and wrap it up ahead of schedule. I hear your operating pace now rivals Xu Yidao's from the old days."

"Yes, sir!"

Zhou Can replied with a nod and a smile.

Once he washed his hands, he slipped on sterile gloves and took his place as chief surgeon. Zhou Can swiftly incised along the suture line from Xinxiang Hospital.

His suturing expertise now reaches junior director caliber, letting him quickly detect flaws in how Xinxiang Hospital's surgeons sealed the chest. Naturally, he keeps quiet about it.

The patient's sternal cut suffers from persistent osteomyelitis infection. The optimal approach involves surgical excision and chest wall rebuilding.
