My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1387 551: Took the Medicine to the Wrong Place, Refusing to Eat—The Newborn Infant

The patient's calf muscles had become severely atrophied, making it unrealistic to expect them to fully recover with mere exercise in such a short timeframe.

Employing a massage device or manual manipulation to stimulate blood flow in the legs and navigate this challenging period was deemed the most suitable approach.

Witnessing the patient's condition show marked improvement and exhibit renewed hope for recovery brought a surge of joy to Zhou Can.

Upon his return to the Emergency Department, he promptly immersed himself in the demanding surgical work.

Scarcely had he completed two surgeries when a nurse rushed in, seeking his assistance.

“Boss, Pediatric just called. A newborn, merely three days old, is suffering from severe heart failure and is in critical condition. They require your consultation.”

Ma Xiaolan hurried in with the urgent message.

“Understood, I'll head over immediately.”

Zhou Can maintained a close working relationship with the Pediatric department, effectively making him an honorary member. Hearing of a critical case within their ranks, he felt a personal obligation to attend and provide aid.

If the situation weren't dire, they wouldn't have sought his help.

The Pediatric department itself boasted considerable strength.

Not only did they retain retired pediatric experts through re-employment, but they also had a substantial contingent of doctors, aged forty to sixty, serving as department heads and deputies. The newer generation of doctors typically commenced their careers with master's degrees, with very few holding only a bachelor's. Exceptionally outstanding medical undergraduates might have a slim chance of being recruited.

Compared to the situation when Zhou Can first joined Tuya Hospital several years prior, the entry bar for undergraduates has risen significantly, making it many times more challenging to secure a position now.

Previously, securing a spot in Tuya's comprehensive training program and being under thirty-five almost guaranteed employment at the hospital post-program completion. Today, the minimum requirement has escalated to a master's degree.

Without a graduate-level degree and lacking recommendations from major medical institutions or esteemed universities, applicants would likely be filtered out by HR during the initial screening for training qualifications.

Through dedicated efforts over the years, Tuya has undeniably seen a substantial enhancement in its overall capabilities and standing compared to its condition a few years ago.

The rapid growth of exceptional young physicians like Zhou Can into pivotal roles within various departments has further bolstered the hospital's comprehensive strength and ranking.

Previously, Tuya's most significant weaknesses were its limited output of academic papers, particularly those of high impact and quality, and the relatively modest educational backgrounds of many of its physicians. Some older medical staff had even graduated from technical secondary schools.

Medical technical schools were a unique educational product of a bygone era.

At that time, a college degree represented a very high level of education. Graduates from vocational secondary technical schools formed the majority of the medical workforce. Eventually, associate degrees came to be regarded as advanced education.

Up until a decade ago, bachelor's degrees were highly sought after.

In the present day, even master's degrees hold less appeal, with doctoral or even post-doctoral qualifications often being the required standard.

The march of progress is relentless.

Under the astute leadership of Dean Zhu, Tuya embarked on extensive reforms centered on cultivating talent and advancing research, achieving remarkable progress in recent years. Following the improvement of its overall strength and ranking, the workflow across all departments experienced a significant surge.

This, in turn, has equipped the institution to attract top-tier medical professionals.

Even now, with a master's degree as the minimum prerequisite, a multitude of medical graduates eagerly seek to join the hospital.

Zhou Can promptly provided an update to Dr. Xu before hastening his steps towards the Pediatric department.

Preserving life was, without question, the paramount concern.

Severe heart failure in a newborn carries an exceedingly high mortality rate, predominantly stemming from congenital heart defects.

A predicament that leaves numerous pediatric specialists at a loss is certainly a grave one.

Zhou Can instinctively increased his pace.

Tuya Hospital is expansive; the journey from the Emergency Department to Pediatrics necessitates traversing the Internal Medicine building and then circumnavigating the Surgery block, consuming at least seven to eight minutes of brisk walking.

En route, Zhou Can moved with an almost wind-borne swiftness.

As he passed through the Internal Medicine corridor, he observed a figure who seemed vaguely familiar approaching him. Recognizing the individual, Zhou Can's expression shifted to one of subtle amusement. The middle-aged man, clutching a lengthy payment receipt, was none other than Brother Wei.

At that precise moment, Brother Wei also appeared to notice Zhou Can.

A wave of embarrassment washed over him, and he lowered his head, attempting to feign that he hadn't spotted Zhou Can.

However, his evasive action only amplified Zhou Can's desire to engage in a bit of playful banter.

"Hey there, aren't you Mr. Lan's bodyguard? What exactly brings you to the Internal Medicine department?" Zhou Can inquired, feigning an innocent ignorance.

"Cough, cough... I'm here to collect some medicine for Young Master Lan," Brother Wei responded, his voice tinged with awkwardness.

Despite his formidable martial prowess, his intellectual capacity was decidedly average.

"Mr. Lan is currently admitted to Cardiothoracic Surgery. If you're here to pick up medication, you should really be heading to the pharmacy or the Cardiothoracic Surgery ward. You seem a tad disoriented; make sure you don't get the wrong location. Perhaps I could take a look at the receipt?"

As Zhou Can uttered these words, he extended his hand, reaching for the receipt clutched in Brother Wei's grasp.

"No, no!"

Brother Wei adamantly refused to let him examine the payment receipt, quickly evading the attempt.

He was far too preoccupied to even consider the teasing Zhou Can might direct at his perceived cluelessness.

"You're absolutely certain you don't require any assistance?"

An amused expression spread across Zhou Can's face.

"Definitely not! You should get back to your duties!"

Brother Wei declined, and for the very first time, he addressed Zhou Can with a respectful tone.

This shift in his demeanor was quite telling.

From his initial dismissiveness and critical view of Zhou Can, he now held genuine admiration for Zhou Can's medical expertise. In the realm of medicine, respect is earned solely through demonstrated capability.
