My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1261: 496: The Malicious Mother-in-Law, Level 6 Grasping Technique (Part 3)

This round, selecting the extraction spot provided him with additional choices. The peanut was already partially drawn out.
His gaze stayed locked entirely on that peanut during the retrieval.
Last time, the peanut broke apart when he gripped and yanked it. Now, finding an optimal grip spot was essential.
[Emergency Wit Experience Points +1, +1…]
[Compassionate Heart Experience Points +1.]
His unique medical skill experience points kept accumulating silently.
Zhou Can paid no attention to them, his focus solely on the peanut as he sought the perfect clamping location.
His thoughts turned utterly still when the baby’s blood oxygen hit 52.
Director Zhuang and the team nearby observed his pause before another attempt, with the infant’s oxygen levels dropping further. Anxiety made them pace frantically, yet none dared to press him.
Everyone knew Zhou Can was exerting maximum effort to rescue the child.
Extracting a challenging peanut via laryngoscope came with numerous obstacles by nature.
They were certain Zhou Can desired the child’s salvation more intensely than anyone.
Sweat streamed nonstop from his brow.
At last, as the infant’s blood oxygen plunged under 50 amid this harrowing life-or-death tension, he pinpointed an ideal clamping spot.
Instinctively, he maneuvered the endoscopic forceps to seize that spot.

[Congratulations, your Grasping Technique has been upgraded to Level 6, current Experience Points 1/100000.]
Practicing this skill at home yielded just 0.1 experience points per go, topping out at 0.2, and it rarely saw surgical use.
Thus, its leveling progressed at a snail’s pace.
Nobody foresaw that extracting a peanut from a baby would grant such a massive experience point haul this time.
This surge rocketed the Grasping Technique straight to Level 6.
Joy had no place now; Zhou Can barely registered it. He simply sensed that seizing the peanut felt somewhat smoother.
The forceps gripped firmly at the base, gently at the tip.
Then, with utmost caution, he drew it outward.
Truly, it emerged bit by bit, millimeter after millimeter.
“It’s coming out, it’s coming out!”
Director Zhuang spotted the peanut emerging from the infant’s throat and shouted excitedly. The others echoed his delight.
“Assist to clamp the peanut out of the mouth!”
Zhou Can instructed the nurse.
The assisting nurse, around thirty years old, handled tools with steady hands and maintained remarkable calm throughout.
She gripped the peanut from the infant’s mouth and set it into a tray.
“Blood oxygen is rising, 52, 54…”
Zhou Can exhaled slightly in relief yet stayed vigilant. He wielded the laryngoscope once more to check for peanut remnants or other debris in the infant’s airway.
His inspection revealed a small peanut piece lodged in the left bronchus.
Left untreated, if the baby couldn’t cough it up, bronchitis could develop readily. Neonatal pneumonia might even follow.
He went for the peanut fragment next.
A single, flawlessly calibrated clamp—neither too soft nor too firm, perfectly balanced.

“Great!”
Zhou Can noticed the Grasping Technique’s remarkable improvement and felt a jolt of surprise. Earlier, his total immersion in the rescue had blinded him to its upgrade to Level 6.
“Okay, there are no more foreign objects in the infant’s trachea. What is the blood oxygen level now?”
“87.”
“Let’s wait and see, it needs to recover to above 95 to be considered safe. Reduce the oxygen flow.”
Zhou Can drew on his vast expertise for such crises.
With the blockage cleared, high-concentration oxygen ought to cease now. Dependency forms easily in the body; independent breathing offers the surest path to restoration.
