The medical team discusses the case of Lin Aixi, a young girl with a mysterious illness. Despite extensive testing and treatment, her condition remains critical. Her father, Lin Jinzhi, shares his personal story and his deep love for his daughter, moving the medical staff. While the experts consider various diagnoses, including intestinal tuberculosis and lymphoma, they begin to rule out some possibilities. Young doctor Zhou Can's persistent questioning is initially dismissed due to his age, but he continues to analyze the symptoms, particularly the mention of blood in sputum which wasn't initially focused on.

Zhou Can sat below, subconsciously eliminating most of the five diseases Director Tang Fei discussed.

"Let’s talk about typhoid fever. Firstly, typhoid is self-limiting, with the illness usually not exceeding a month, and lower digestive tract bleeding occurs about half a month into the illness. Aixi’s Weil-Felix reaction, blood and fecal cultures did not reveal any pathogens, and she doesn’t exhibit typical clinical manifestations of typhoid. Typhoid can be essentially ruled out."

Director Tang Fei’s expertise is extraordinarily high, with profound familiarity with various intestinal diseases.

For every disease ruled out, she can articulate clear reasons.

"Three diseases remain, and exclusion difficulty increases. Dr. Zhou Can is a special talent in our pediatric department, and was once a key focus of training in digestive internal medicine and digestive surgery, with unique insights into diagnosing various complex cases. Please lead the analysis next, aiming to diagnose Lin Aixi’s illness cause, okay?"

After ruling out two diseases in succession, Director Tang Fei surprisingly highlighted Zhou Can.

This openly elevated Zhou Can’s status.

Moreover, it helped Zhou Can erase previous grievances.

It can be understood as a form of care.

Lin Jinzhi deemed Zhou Can young, publicly advising Zhou Can to ask fewer questions, leaving time for older experts. Director Tang Fei believed this mattered to Zhou Can, and while other experts disregarded Zhou Can’s feelings, she deeply remembered it.

Given Lin Jinzhi’s prestigious status, he couldn’t be directly contradicted like ordinary family members.

She chose to safeguard Zhou Can’s position and authority at this critical juncture.

"Okay, thank you for your trust."

Zhou Can didn’t say it out loud, but he was filled with gratitude towards Director Tang Fei.

He could clearly sense her goodwill.

It was thanks to Director Tang Fei’s consistent support that he was able to work in pediatrics like a brave general, continuously forging ahead and achieving numerous accomplishments.

Lin Jinzhi regarded Zhou Can with slight surprise.

Soon after, he looked towards Director Tang Fei.

"So he is Dr. Zhou Can!"

It appears he’s heard of Zhou Can’s reputation.

"Yes, that’s Dr. Zhou Can. He looks particularly young, yet his medical skills are exceptionally high."

Director Tang Fei said affirmatively with a nod.

"During the Provincial Children’s Hospital transfer, Professor Wei Zhengru also mentioned Dr. Zhou. Earlier, I failed to recognize the talents of Dr. Zhou, and underestimated him. I hope you won’t mind!" Lin Jinzhi, being a seasoned boss, understood the nuances in Director Tang Fei’s words.

This level of boss can lower themselves easily.

He directly expressed apologies to Zhou Can.

"Mr. Lin, you’re too kind."

Zhou Can casually waved it off.

As his capability continues to grow, he views various honorary titles and reputations with indifference.

In the past, he used to care when people underestimated him or spoke ill of him. Now he truly remains calm and unperturbed.

"Professor Wei holds you in high esteem, asking me to observe after transferring my daughter to Tu Ya. If no significant diagnostic progress occurs, he recommended seeking your assistance. Truly, he even gave me your phone number. Now, you’re directly involved in the consultation, so I don’t need to specifically request your help. I just didn’t expect you to be so young."

Lin Jinzhi raised his phone, showing Zhou Can he had the phone number saved.

"Professor Wei truly thinks highly of me; actually, I’m just a resident at Tuya Hospital."

Zhou Can couldn’t help but show a bitter smile.

Sometimes, he doesn’t understand why professors and directors value him so much. It’s not that they want to induct him as a disciple, but rather discuss as equals, even claiming his medical skills surpass theirs.

This sometimes leaves Zhou Can genuinely helpless.

Actually, he’s simply unaware of his excellence. Few doctors can elevate numerous medical skills to a director level simultaneously.

Moreover, unlike other doctors, Zhou Can pursues a general medical practice route.

Most other doctors are specialists, at best choosing two medical fields.

When he initially began standardized training, he too feared biting off more than he could chew, thinking it’s better to focus on two fields rather than broad yet shallow expertise.

Later, he discovered close relationships between various medical fields. Mere mastery of one or two disciplines results in many diagnostic shortcomings and obstacles.

Though aware of this, he never considered pursuing general medical practice.

Dr. Xu, Director Hu Kan, and Director Tan had all advised him to choose one or two specialized fields early, dedicating most time and energy to major directions.

Upon completing standardized training, he found himself reaching considerable proficiency in multiple medical fields.

Then, after several years as a resident doctor, his clinical experience enriched, and knowledge grew further. He realized, somewhat helplessly, that he was progressing towards becoming a general practitioner.

The issue became evident when pathology diagnosis promoted to Level 6.

Subsequently, pharmacological differentiation also promoted to Level 6, giving birth to a general-level director physician. While some deficiencies may remain, they are steadily diminishing.

For instance, in orthopedics, he previously felt powerless towards joints and complex orthopedic diseases.

Now, he’s pursuing further study in orthopedics, addressing these shortcomings.

Additionally, he previously wasn’t particularly prominent in pediatrics.
