My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1258: 495: Surge in Experience Points from Compassion, Director Xue Set Up (Part 3)

“Back then, the viewers showed profound contempt toward that Japanese cardiothoracic specialist's abilities. They ridiculed the expert for failing to handle even a simple heart stent operation. When I stepped in to treat the patient, I really didn't have enough experience with interventional procedures, and without checking the patient's cardiovascular scans first, I rashly claimed a vascular stent surgery would fix it. But now, having reviewed those scans, it's evident that's not possible. Doesn't that amount to me slapping my own face?”

She's stuck in a real bind now.

As director of Tuya Cardiothoracic Surgery and a gold-medal chief physician, she's reversing her previous statement.

She first declared it treatable, only to say later that it wasn't.

It's far beyond just facing mockery. This risks shattering the stellar reputation of Tuya Cardiothoracic Surgery and tarnishing Tuya Hospital's name as well.

“Here's the plan: stay calm for now. I'll head over after finishing my Pediatrics rounds to assess things. Meanwhile, get the patient scheduled for every required exam. With patients like this, there's full reason to apply defensive medicine protocols. Better to rule out any diagnostic gaps than fret over cutting costs for them.”

From a doctor's viewpoint, Zhou Can truly looks down on patients who show no respect to medical staff.

This round, Director Xue Yan is the one under fire.

It might be some other doctor next time—or Zhou Can himself.

“Once I spotted his secret livestream of the whole consultation, I'd already started defensive medicine. Sadly, I caught on too late,” Director Xue Yan said with regret. “What worries me most is that this could cause our hard-built Cardiothoracic Surgery department to crumble once more.”

“Sister Yan, no need to fear. I'm here, so we'll tackle it side by side. United, we're unbeatable and can smash through any hurdle!”

Zhou Can appeared remarkably composed.

What's done is done, leaving only the path to resolution.

Few men back away from peril or hardship; instead, they clench their jaws and push ahead.

“Dr. Zhou, Dr. Zhou, Director Zhuang has a child patient showing cyanotic skin, likely from a foreign body blocking the airway. He's urging you to rush over and check it out.”

“Got it!”

Saying no more, Zhou Can rose at once and headed out.

“Apologies, hold on just a bit! Emergency calls from over there.”

“It's fine, my boy's only dealing with a cold and fever; a short wait won't hurt,” the child's mother replied warmly, completely supportive of Zhou Can.

“Thanks!”

Zhou Can quickly hurried to Director Zhuang’s clinic, where he spotted an infant roughly eleven months old.

Director Zhuang focuses on neonatology, mainly handling babies younger than one year.

He sometimes sees kids aged two or three as well.

In the medical field, docs often call children under three infants or toddlers.

Note that legally, adulthood starts at 18. Yet females gain reproductive ability around 13 or 14, sometimes as young as 12.

Males mature a touch later, reaching full reproductive readiness near 15 or 16.

Back in ancient eras, girls wed at 13.

In wartime especially, leaders boosted numbers by decreeing doubled taxes and labor for families if a girl remained unmarried past 13.

Zhou Can observed the baby's parents gripped by desperate frenzy, as the grandmother dabbed her tears nearby, scolding her daughter-in-law.
