My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points
Chapter 372 - 177: What Else Can't You Do? Violent Open-Chest Move_2

"I have undergone three months of standardized training in orthopedics and have learned some bone fusion techniques. I am fully confident in reconnecting this rib."

Zhou Can's current bone fusion technique is at the lower end of the resident doctor level.

Not very advanced, but it is certainly adequate for the current rib fusion.

As for more difficult bone fusions, such as those involving joints or the spine, he is not up to the task.

"Alright, since you are so confident, I'll leave it all to you."

Doctor Long is happy to take it easy.

He also wants to test Zhou Can's bottom line and see how skilled he really is.

This kind of surgery is generally done with internal fixation.

The operation is simple and crude, not too high in technical content.

Zhou Can is good and fast when it comes to surgery.

One can see, he swiftly and powerfully performs the procedure, fixing the severed rib back to its original place with surgical nails.

If all goes well, in about a month, there should appear a line of bone callus signaling union.

Muscles and bones need a hundred days to recover.

Young people have strong recovery abilities; in about three months, the rib should be healed and stable.

"Not bad, no other issues, let's start closing the thoracic cavity then!"

Doctor Long has witnessed Zhou Can's suturing proficiency, so he entrusted the thoracic closure to Zhou Can without worries.

...

Nearly forty minutes later, the thoracic closure was finally completed.

That was possible because Zhou Can's suturing skill is at the deputy director level and because he performs surgery quickly, which allowed him to complete the thoracic closure within forty minutes.

Doctor Long didn't even need to check.

Because Zhou Can's stitching was even better than his own.

This thoracotomy for hemostasis was successfully completed smoothly.

The patient was also successfully saved from the clutches of death.

Zhou Can used this surgery to make a spectacular comeback. From a punished trainee, he successfully gained Doctor Long's trust and took the opportunity to demonstrate his powerful surgical skills.

"Dr. Zhou worked hard today! May I ask if you are Zhou Can?"

At the end of the surgery, Doctor Long finally felt relieved.

"Yes, my name is Zhou Can. How did you know?"

Zhou Can never considered himself to be significant.

"After seeing you demonstrate so many powerful surgical skills, I guessed it. Among the trainees, nobody else has such strong surgical abilities besides you. Initially, I was wondering where such an impressive young doctor could have come from."

Doctor Long's comment made Zhou Can smile broadly.

Others showed mixed reactions.

Some were hearing Zhou Can's name for the first time.

In terms of fame, within the doctors' circle at the hospital, Du Leng's name is much more prominent than Zhou Can's.

The Department of General Surgery is now continuously pushing Du Leng into the spotlight, preparing him to become the face of the department.

Zhou Can only has a bachelor's degree, which pales in comparison.

Only the head physicians and some well-informed chief physicians know about Zhou Can's strong capabilities and exceptional talent.

"Dr. Guan, it seems you were already informed. No wonder you were so confident!"

Doctor Long looked up at Dr. Guan, who was busy with the patient's post-anesthesia care.

"How could I recommend him without having seen his capabilities? What he has shown today is just a fraction of his abilities, such surgery is merely an appetizer for him."

Dr. Guan curled his lips, pleased to see the patient's vitals stabilizing after the surgery.

"Is that just a part of his skills? That's truly terrifying. It's quite demoralizing for us chief physicians!" After hearing Dr. Guan's assessment of Zhou Can, Doctor Long felt a storm of emotions.

He thought that this trainee, with his super diagnostic skills and multiple chief-level medical techniques, even possessing director-level suturing and ligation skills, was impressive enough.

But that was only a fraction of Zhou Can's strength.

How strong could this trainee be?

Doctor Long felt that a saying was particularly true at this moment.

One must never compare themselves to others.

Otherwise, by comparison, you'd throw the goods away, and comparing people could kill your spirit.

"Dr. Zhou, may I ask why Dr. Zhao tasked you with cleaning the operating room?"

Doctor Long decided to inquire into the matter.

After all, Zhou Can had done him a massive favor.

The surgery would not have been completed successfully without Zhou Can's significant contributions.

Most of the time, thoracotomy for hemostasis is just a level 2 surgery.

But the difficulty of this operation was far beyond level 2.

Normally, he would have called for the head physician's support by now.

"During the surgery with Dr. Zhao and Doctor Duan, I interjected a few words, which annoyed Dr. Zhao. He thought I had never seen surgery and was making a fuss, so he punished me to clean the operating room for a day."

Zhou Can briefly explained the situation.

He was certain that the patient with the torn pectoral muscle was bound to run into serious trouble.

But he had done all he could.

He got himself in trouble trying to warn the senior doctors.

Thinking of notifying the family privately, but then recalling their harsh and critical demeanour, he decided against it. On his first day at Tuya Hospital, his mentor told them that doctors must first learn to protect themselves when saving lives.

Facing such family members, Zhou Can would definitely play the turtle, retracting his head.

Otherwise, it would have been asking for trouble.

"I'll go and talk to Dr. Zhao, there must be some misunderstanding," Doctor Long said, indicating that he would plead on Zhou Can's behalf.

"No, no, I'm good cleaning here. It's not only good exercise but I can also watch various surgeries and gain more experience."
