My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points
Chapter 363 - 174: The Real Family, Over Electrocoagulation_2

In his eyes and tone, there was undisguised contempt for Zhou Can.

Zhou Can concluded about this woman, being beautiful doesn't necessarily equate to having class.

Perhaps it's just a pretty shell.

He carefully reviewed the inspection report. Before surgery, it's essential to check if the patient has undergone necessary tests such as a complete blood count.

It also includes checking for any infectious diseases or inflammation.

A resident following a surgery may seem simple, but there are actually many tasks involved.

Significant oversights could result in scolding from senior doctors and the chief surgeon.

When he first started his internship, he had been scolded many times.

Almost every doctor has grown through this process.

The patient's condition is okay; there are no contraindications for surgery.

"Currently, you don't have any symptoms like a cold or fever, do you?" Zhou Can started to ask the patient some basic questions.

Some patients might find it bothersome, but these questions must be clarified.

Before surgery, the patient should avoid respiratory diseases, such as colds or inflammations.

"No, no!"

She responded very crisply.

"Do you have a cough?"

"There's definitely normal coughing, but definitely not a cold-related cough."

"Do you have any underlying conditions like hypertension or diabetes?"

"My husband is so young; do you think it's likely he has such diseases typical in elderly people? Maybe you should wait until the chief surgeon arrives before you ask any more! My husband needs to rest well right now."

She was annoyed by Zhou Can's questions.

"Do not eat or drink anything before surgery! If you need to use the toilet, go ahead of time!"

Zhou Can didn't bother asking more.

If family members are uncooperative, continuing to ask would likely result in a scolding.

If something really goes wrong, the patient is the one who suffers.

Doctors sometimes genuinely don't care that much.

"I know all these things already."

The woman was visibly impatient.

"Can you stop making noise here? Let me sleep for a while." The patient was also in a bad mood.

Seeing their son's rest being disturbed, the patient's parents' expressions turned sour.

Zhou Can said nothing further and went to attend to other tasks.

Soon, the chief surgeon arrived.

He was a man in his mid-thirties, short and stocky, about the same age as Jin Mingxi.

Thoracic muscle suture is only a Level 1 or 2 operation; it's hard to say whether this male doctor is a Resident or an Attending.

"I am Duan Shangqing, an attending physician in Cardiothoracic Surgery, and also his chief surgeon. How are you feeling, has the pain reduced after the injection?" Doctor Duan directly approached bed 19 and softly inquired about the patient's condition.

His tone was filled with concern.

When the patient's beautiful wife heard that the chief surgeon had arrived, she quickly stood up, all smiles and greeted, "Thank you, Doctor Duan, for the painkillers, my husband is feeling much better. Is the surgery really necessary?"

The patient's parents also smiled broadly, being very polite to Doctor Duan.

"If you look at his scans, there is a clear laceration here. Theoretically, it might heal by itself, but it could result in restricted movement of his left arm, chest tightness, and pain in the future. If not careful, the tear could expand, potentially affecting the esophagus, cardiopulmonary functions, and others. There's also internal bleeding we can't see; timely wound repair, hemostasis, and suturing are in the patient's best interest."

"This is merely a simple suturing surgery between a Level 1 and Level 2 operation; the risk is very low. It's not like thoracotomy, which has much higher risks."

Doctor Duan tried to reassure the family members and put them at ease.

"After the surgery is done, will my husband's arm and esophagus not be affected anymore?"

She was still somewhat worried.

"As long as the surgery is successful and recovery is ideal, he can completely return to his pre-surgery condition."

After hearing Doctor Duan's response, the woman exchanged glances with her in-laws.

"Okay, let's do the surgery, and please take extra care."

The patient's father discreetly took out a red envelope and handed it to Doctor Duan.

"Doctor Duan, he's my only son, please take special care of him. This is just a small token, consider it a little treat for a cup of tea."

This act of handing over the red envelope really scared Doctor Duan.

The hospital strictly prohibits taking kickbacks or accepting gifts or red envelopes.

In front of so many people, if he took this red envelope, he might not even wait until tomorrow before being summoned by the Medical Department for a talk.

"Don't do this, I will definitely perform the surgery with great care. If you keep giving red envelopes, it's putting me at risk."

Doctor Duan was short and was really unable to block it.

After hearing this, the patient's father sheepishly took back the red envelope.

"You truly are a highly principled good doctor. Once my son is recovered and discharged, we'll treat you to a meal; please grace us with your presence!"

"We'll see at that time! If you have no other questions, please sign the consent form for the surgery and prepay the treatment costs."

After the family members signed, Doctor Duan looked at the patient.

"Didn't you inform the ward doctor to follow the surgery preparation? Why is nothing prepared?"

Doctor Duan was clearly displeased.

"I was just following up with the surgery, helping the patient with pre-surgery preparations. The family said to wait until the chief surgeon arrived."

Zhou Can certainly wasn't going to suffer in silence.

Helping patients with pre-surgery preparations, if the patient doesn't cooperate, there's really nothing you can do.

After all, treating the disease is the patient's own affair.

The emperor isn't in a hurry, so the eunuch's urgency is useless.

"Um… I asked this young doctor a moment ago, but he didn't know anything. I insisted on waiting until you arrived!" After saying this, the woman lifted her beautiful melon-seeded face, looking arrogantly at Zhou Can. "You see, after Doctor Duan arrived, things wrapped up quickly. Unlike you, asking all these useless questions. I think you need to improve your studies; you're not professional at all."
