My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1232 - 485: Rectal Repair Surgery, Director Qu Requests to Join_3

Qu Zi stays well-informed about developments within the medical field.

She is certainly not one to ignore external affairs or isolate herself from progress.

She refuses to work in seclusion, preferring to remain connected.

"Dr. Zhou, I broached this subject because I wanted to see if we could establish a system where the anesthesiologist is attached to one specific surgical team. Would you be open to a collaboration?"

As an associate chief physician, she felt a slight nervousness while proposing a partnership with Zhou Can’s team.

"I only handle two or three major operations a day. If you bind your services to my team exclusively, I worry it might significantly impact your medical income."

Zhou Can maintained a pragmatic perspective.

One should not be misled by the high volume of daily patient traffic in the Emergency Department; in reality, there are rarely more than two significant surgeries performed each day.

For standard Level 1 or Level 2 procedures, the primary surgeons or circulating nurses can manage local anesthesia, leaving no requirement for an anesthesiologist's presence.

"I believe any drop in income will only be temporary. I have witnessed both your surgical aptitude and the speed of your professional development. Furthermore, since I need to secure my Full Professor title in the coming years, having a lighter workload will grant me more time for reading and academic advancement."

Qu Zi had clearly weighed her options carefully before seeking his perspective.

"I am deeply honored by the goodwill shown by both Director Qu and Teacher Qin. Teaming up with such esteemed anesthetic experts is a prospect I find very exciting. However, I must remind you that the current state of the Emergency Department remains challenging. Whether we can increase the frequency of Level 3 or Level 4 surgeries is uncertain. Please weigh this decision carefully."

Zhou Can felt the potential for a collaboration with Qu Zi was quite high.

Director Feng’s expertise is so advanced that tethering him to Zhou Can’s surgical team is simply unrealistic.

Even if Director Feng desired such an arrangement due to his professional bond with Zhou Can, the hospital administration would never endorse it.

In the hierarchy of the hospital, Zhou Can’s current surgical team likely does not rank within the top twenty at Tuya Hospital.

There is no logical way the hospital would assign its premier anesthetist to his unit.

Furthermore, Director Feng is nearing retirement age. While Zhou Can’s team is still in its infancy with limited major surgeries, Director Feng would likely be retiring just as Zhou Can’s surgical volume begins to climb.

Consequently, working with the younger Qu Zi is a much more strategic move for all parties involved.

"Then it is settled. When it comes time to select our preferences, I will mark your Emergency Department as my choice."

Upon hearing Zhou Can’s agreement, an uncharacteristic smile graced Qu Zi’s expression.

She had been quite apprehensive about a potential rejection before she gathered the courage to ask.

Answering a refusal would have been quite awkward!

"Wonderful! I am grateful for the trust and kindness extended by both Director Qu and Teacher Qin. I look forward to our permanent collaboration starting soon."

In a surprising move, Zhou Can stood up and walked toward them, shaking hands with each with genuine sincerity.

Both doctors responded with warm smiles.

Upon finishing their meal, the group took a brief interval to attend to personal duties and refresh themselves, before returning to the operating theater without delay.

During their second major procedure, the atmosphere in the room felt noticeably more unified.

This shift was undoubtedly due to the partnership agreement struck between Zhou Can and Qu Zi during lunch.

From this point onward, they essentially operated as a single, cohesive unit.

At the end of his shift, Zhou Can unlocked his phone and was startled to find an official notification from the local police station. A case file had been opened regarding the incident where he was nearly struck by a falling planter, and the investigation was now officially underway.

The update brought a sense of relief to Zhou Can.

Now that the case was on the books, it meant that professional officers would be assigned to handle the evidence.

He promptly placed a call to inquire about the investigation’s progress.

"Hello, Officer Hu. This is Zhou Can, the doctor who was targeted by a flowerpot dropped from the rooftop last night."

"Ah, hello, Dr. Zhou! I am calling to confirm that we have officially opened an investigation."

"May I ask if you were able to recover fingerprints from the planters?"

"Regrettably, the perpetrator was quite careful, and no fingerprints were recovered. However, we did discover a discarded cigarette butt on the roof, which has been sent for forensic analysis—it may belong to the suspect. Additionally, we have analyzed the shoeprints recovered at the scene. They suggest the individual is male, likely in his thirties..."
