My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1224 - 483: Recruiting Another General, Midnight Murder

Was it possible that this Dr. Pu Dingdong was secretly dispatched by another hospital? Zhou Can hardly dared to entertain such suspicions.

He guided Zhou Can off the Cardiothoracic Surgery ward and halted in an empty hallway.

The location they picked was right at the corridor's far end.

Midnight had already struck, with the bathroom and the cleaners' supply closet situated right behind them. They paused near the window.

"Dr. Zhou, I appreciate you meeting me privately like this. I'd love to shadow you—would that be okay?"

Dr. Pu gazed straight at him, his gaze full of honesty, though his voice carried a tentative edge, dreading a dismissal.

Under the faint illumination, his face wasn't sharply visible.

Evidently, tension gripped him right then.

"That's a deep question—what exactly do you mean by 'follow me'?"

Zhou Can narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing him closely.

"Maybe I didn't put it clearly. What I mean is, I'd like to study under your guidance. If you just provide the chance, I'll take on whatever tasks you hand me." Dr. Pu displayed deep deference toward Zhou Can.

Just like a young pupil asking something of their instructor.

Brimming with anticipation, but terrified of being turned down.

"I... possess a master's degree right now, and I've finished all four required certifications. I've got three years of official experience at the First Hospital. My residency was done at an affiliated hospital of a prestigious university. While my abilities in surgery are a bit lacking, I feel I have a strong foundation in core medical principles, particularly in immunology, an area where I shine somewhat."

To avoid rejection from Zhou Can, he hastily outlined his qualifications and strengths.

"With a focus on immunology, what draws you to Cardiothoracic Surgery?"

"My family's in the provincial capital. Truth be told, once my residency ended, a bit more effort might have let me remain at that university-affiliated hospital. But knowing my parents had only me as their child, I decided to come back to the capital for employment. Tuya Hospital and the Provincial People's Hospital topped my list, yet both proved tough to join. With no options left, I bowed to the facts and ended up at the First Hospital."

Dr. Pu shared the story of his search for a position.

Not all aspiring doctors strike gold like Zhou Can has.

Truthfully, landing a spot at Tuya Hospital demands immense effort.

Numerous master's degree holders fail to make the cut.

Some PhD holders even get passed over.

Led by Dean Zhu, Tuya prioritizes excellence when bringing on clinical doctors, nurses, and research personnel.

Administrative and support areas might harbor plenty of insiders with ties, but clinical units show scarce signs of favoritism.

Not even connected folks can break through; those with subpar qualifications or med students short on talent and promise stand even smaller chances of selection.

Such circumstances fuel widespread unease among clinical medicine trainees.

Elite hospitals impose rigorous criteria for new hires. A qualification alone won't suffice anymore. The era of sliding into top facilities with merely a master's is history.

The stronger a hospital's prestige, the tougher the barriers to entry.

On the flip side, average hospitals struggle to attract talent.

Grads from superior institutions refuse to compromise, often overlooking invitations from lesser venues.

It's akin to seeking a spouse—lofty ideals paired with reluctance to lower the bar.

In the end, clinical medicine learners remain somewhat scarce, and their preparation is intensely demanding. On university grounds, these students frequently require urgent care from academic pressures.

Today's med school attendees are exceptional talents.

Sifted through the fierce gaokao battles, they generally surpass others in smarts, comprehension, discipline, and hard work. What budding doctor lacks a dash of self-assurance?

Dr. Pu may not rank at the pinnacle, but he's far from mediocre.

His hands-on work reveals a down-to-earth approach, solid expertise, and bold aspirations.

Opting to forgo superior prospects to tend to elderly parents by heading back to the provincial capital shows true devotion. As a rule, such dutiful offspring rarely possess flawed morals.

This boosted Zhou Can's regard for him even more.

"Dr. Zhou, might you offer me an opportunity? I'm shifting from the First Hospital to Tuya, and seeking to move from Cardiothoracic Surgery to your group now. It's not wild ambition driving me, but a pursuit of stronger growth. Medicine is my passion, and I yearn to master advanced techniques. You're the key to turning that vision into reality."

Once he finished, Dr. Pu eyed Zhou Can with intense eagerness.

"What kind of development are you aiming for?"

Zhou Can doesn't bend to sweet talk or commit hastily.

Back when Yang Zhi sought to enter his crew, despite the pressing need for an aide, Zhou Can put him through a thorough, demanding evaluation first.

"Helping you during operations would be perfect. Otherwise, I'll support however required. Like handling recovery care for surgery patients—I'm confident I'd excel there."

Zhou Can places great worth on Dr. Pu's immunology expertise.

In immunology, Zhou Can finds himself somewhat deficient.

Even after years of absorbing diverse info, time and stamina constraints make total mastery across the board unattainable.
