My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1396 554: The Quiet Rise of the Emergency Department, Choosing One to Love and Grow Old With (Part 3)

Maintaining a robust cycle of skill development is crucial for cultivating talent.

Presently, the operating room within the Emergency Department operates under a restriction: the highest surgical tier permitted is Level 3, a barrier that remains unbroken.

Level 4 surgeries, for the time being, remain beyond reach.

This limitation stems from the absence of any Director Level surgeons.

Should a Director Level surgeon exist in a specific medical specialization, they would be authorized to perform Level 4 surgeries exclusively within their defined area of expertise. The stringent regulations governing surgical proficiency must be observed.

The concept of a Director Level general surgeon is almost inconceivable.

It is highly improbable that such a specialist could be found anywhere on the globe.

Perhaps, in the not-too-distant future, Zhou Can might achieve this distinction.

However, this remains merely a potential outcome.

It is important to remember that Zhou Can benefits from a medical Experience Points system, enabling him to condense a decade or even twenty years of learning into one or two years. Even with this advantage, it is still only a possibility for him. Other medical professionals, regardless of their exceptional talents, are typically confined to exploring one or two fields in depth throughout their entire careers.

This constraint is imposed by limitations in energy, time, and lifespan.

Many surgeons commence their professional careers no earlier than the age of 24, with 27 being a more common starting point.

Director Level expert surgeons are granted the privilege of practicing until their retirement at the age of 65.

The actual number of years they can dedicate to practicing medicine is just over thirty. As individuals age, their capacity for learning, memory retention, and physical endurance inevitably diminish.

Consequently, one is naturally destined to delve deeply into only one or two medical specialties over the course of a lifetime.

...

By 6:40 in the evening, Zhou Can exited the operating theater, his body heavy with fatigue.

This afternoon, he had successfully performed five Level 2 surgeries and three Level 3 surgeries.

The outcomes were considerably satisfactory.

All eight surgical procedures concluded without complication.

Despite his exhaustion, an immense sense of fulfillment washed over him. The accomplishment derived from saving lives is undeniably the most profound for surgeons engaged in clinical practice.

As he stepped out, Su Qianqian was, as usual, waiting nearby with a thermal flask.

What does it truly signify to be a virtuous wife and a devoted mother?

Su Qianqian embodies these virtues flawlessly.

"Sister-in-law, bringing lunch for Dr. Zhou again? It’s truly heartwarming to see your loving bond and makes one so envious!" Jiang Wei greeted them warmly as she approached.

"I simply worry he might go hungry! When men are engrossed in their work, they often neglect their well-being, so I endeavor to care for him as best I can." Su Qianqian replied, her gaze naturally drifting towards Zhou Can.

Her eyes radiated profound affection.

Every glance conveyed her deep love for the man before her.

Despite sharing their lives for a considerable period, their affection for each other has only deepened, binding them together like inseparable companions.

Zhou Can himself deeply values emotional connections, a trait inherited from his father, and is exceptionally devoted to his relationships. Having experienced the near loss of Su Qianqian due to her kidney ailment, Zhou Can cherishes their bond even more profoundly.

Since that ordeal, having become accustomed to the constant presence of life and death in his clinical work, his perception of life's significance has deepened considerably.

Witnessing the poignant farewells between patients and their families, or observing the unwavering devotion of partners sacrificing everything at the bedside, has revealed to him the most beautiful facets of love.

Having chosen Su Qianqian, he is naturally committed to never failing her.

"Dr. Zhou has consistently spoken highly of Sister-in-law's culinary talents! Someday, I must shamelessly impose upon your hospitality and visit your home to savor Sister-in-law's cooking. It would be a regret in life to miss such an opportunity." Jiang Wei always addresses Su Qianqian with genuine warmth.

She makes a point of complimenting her.

On this occasion, she seized the moment to express her longing to be a guest at Zhou Can's residence.

Although her invitation was playfully phrased, she anticipated that someone as kind-hearted as Su Qianqian would readily accept.
