My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points
Chapter 382 - 180: The Thunder Still Exploded, Director Hu Kan's Mandate_3

So they prefer to focus on well-considered plans.

Director Hu Kan has spoken to such an extent, so naturally Zhou Can couldn't avoid it any longer.

"If you ask me, I would say to reopen the patient's wound, clean it thoroughly first, then suture it again. After that, provide the patient with anti-infection treatments to prevent the exacerbation of septicemia. Special attention should be paid to prevent kidney failure, if necessary, extracorporeal kidney function substitution can be established. Along with anti-infection, organ and life support, immune modulation therapy should also be applied."

Septicemia develops rapidly and is extremely harmful.

Early and timely symptomatic treatment is very important.

It can roughly be divided into three directions, the first is etiological diagnosis, identify the source of infection, then clear it, followed by the use of appropriate antibiotics for anti-infection treatment.

The second direction is life-support treatment.

Including circulatory resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, kidney replacement, and so on.

The third direction is immune modulation.

The human immune system is the ultimate weapon against all diseases; no operation, no medication, and no advanced equipment can rival the immune system.

Even the latest anti-cancer drugs developed by humans start with the immune aspect, such as activating immune T cells and so on.

"If this patient's life is now in danger, and you were asked to take over the treatment, would you be willing?"

Director Hu Kan's eyes lit up a bit after hearing Zhou Can's response.

A faint trace of flourishing interest appeared on his calm, rippleless face.

"Of course! Saving lives and helping the injured is simply the natural duty of a doctor. When a patient is in critical condition, I should do everything within my power to save them."

Zhou Can's answer was very decisive.

"What if something goes wrong and the patient can't be saved, are you not worried about the consequences?"

Director Hu Kan's soul-probing question was so direct that even a fool could see that he was testing Zhou Can.

He probably wanted to observe Zhou Can's abilities and qualities in various aspects.

"I'm human too, of course I'm worried! In such cases, it's best to do what one can. If despite doing everything possible the patient still can't be saved, I believe the family will understand. As for reputation and such, I really don't care for those superficial things."

Zhou Can cares only about true skill and never about empty fame.

He actually prefers to keep a low profile and quietly treat patients. That way he doesn't bear too much psychological pressure and can live a much lighter life.

"How interesting! You're much better than Old Xu. Had he realized the treachery of vanity earlier, he wouldn't have ended up in trouble. I hope you can go further and longer than Old Xu."

Director Hu Kan's demonstrated breadth of mind was also something Zhou Can secretly admired.

Dr. Xu was his professional rival, and after battling for many years, Dr. Xu had been demoted to the main doctor in the Emergency Department, while Director Hu Kan's position was more stable and higher than before.

Yet he displayed no behavior of kicking someone while they are down.

That's respect.

"Whether you stay in Cardiothoracic Surgery as a resident or come back for advanced training, as long as I am still sitting in this director's seat, I can guarantee you that we will provide you with as big a stage as your abilities can handle. Our department will also give you the best training."

Director Hu Kan, in front of other big shots of the department, essentially made a declaration to aid Zhou Can by saying these words.

It meant telling the other directors and deputy directors of the department to provide Zhou Can with the best guidance and cultivation.

This is true magnanimity and benevolence.

It's like helping to train a successor for a former rival.

Most people probably can't hold such magnanimity.

"Thank you! Thank you, all the teachers!"

Zhou Can stood up and bowed in thanks to all the big shots.

He was also smart; with such thanks, those big shots in the department would take note.

In the future, they will certainly offer Zhou Can the best training.

"Patient in bed 19, from now on, your treatment will be in your hands. Doctor Duan and Dr. Zhao, the two of you will assist," Director Hu Kan said, surprising everyone once more.

Human life is paramount; this is not a trifling matter.

The patient's condition is very serious, even handing them over to an ordinary chief physician is not very secure.

Ideally, Director Hu Kan should personally take over.

But now, he hands it over to a resident to lead the treatment, which is shocking.

"Director Hu, please think twice! Even if you want to cultivate Zhou Can, you can start by gradually assigning him some minor surgeries and patients with less serious conditions to practice on. If this patient's condition deteriorates even a little further, the consequences could be very serious. What if something really goes wrong?"

A male doctor in his late forties hurriedly cautioned.

"You all, just keep your concerns to yourselves. I've competed with Old Xu for so many years and I know him too well. The protégé of Old Xu is no pushover; I can tell from this kid's eyes, he eats meat."

Director Hu Kan overruled the objections and directly made the decision.

"Xiao Zhou, you can be bold and confident in your actions, I trust that you won't let your teacher down."

"Thank you for your trust, I will do my utmost to save that patient. If there's anything I'm not capable of, I'll seek help from the directors at that time."

Zhou Can really hadn't expected Director Hu Kan to make such an arrangement.

The patient itself had serious issues because the surgery was not well performed. Normally, any department head would be extremely cautious and handle it personally.

But he directly entrusted Zhou Can, a resident, with the task of saving the patient.

It seems to be a child's play, but actually involves deep, multi-layered considerations.

'The Steadiest Surgeon's Blade' could not possibly make an irresponsible decision.

This also illustrates that Director Hu Kan's state of mind has reached heights that most people would find difficult to achieve in a lifetime.
