My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points
Chapter 511 - 224: First Time Receiving a 200 Experience Points Reward, Is This a Passing of the Mantle?_2

After all, the risk was too great.

Fortunately, Zhou Can was always as swift as the wind and as stable as an old dog, not making any mess.

In the following procedure, Zhou Can fully demonstrated his superior separation technique.

Since the fistula passed between the internal and external carotid arteries and then curved towards the pharyngeal lateral wall, it undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the surgery.

It was not only Zhou Can operating, even if Director Liu was to perform it, he could not afford to be careless.

Zhou Can carefully separated the fistula from the internal and external carotid arteries and pulled the external carotid artery forward.

When performing the above steps, the posterior belly of the digastric and the hypoglossal nerve also had to be lifted upwards.

Then he continued to separate along the fistula towards the pharyngeal lateral wall.

Every step of separation was extremely difficult.

This greatly benefited the improvement of his separation medical technique.

Upon reaching this step, Director Liu personally assisted him by pressing the pharyngeal lateral wall outwards with his fingers, making the fistula shallower for easier separation of the remaining part by Zhou Can.

Finally, the fistula was successfully separated by Zhou Can.

[Separation Skill Experience Points +1.]

[For your first successful separation of a highly difficult fistula, reward of Separation Experience Points +200.]

This was the first time Zhou Can ever earned a 200 Experience Points reward.

Only he knew how difficult the entire separation process was.

It can be said to be fraught with grave dangers.

Thus, he took the 200-point reward with peace of mind.

Much harder than earning two 100 Experience Points rewards.

"Very well done! Cleanse the wound cavity and then suture it!"

Director Liu actually broke out in a cold sweat several times.

Now that he saw Zhou Can successfully separate the entire fistula, he heaved a sigh of relief and a happy smile appeared on his face.

Zhou Can gained Director Liu's deep trust by performing operation after operation without incident.

Even such a high-risk surgery was entrusted to him with full authority.

After irrigating the wound cavity, complete hemostasis was achieved.

These procedures were child's play for Zhou Can.

Level 5 Hemostasis Skill, Level 4 Wound Cleaning Skill, which were not given for nothing.

In just over a month of doing more than 700 surgeries in general surgery, he made a fortune in Wound Cleaning Skill Experience Points. However, there was still a significant gap from advancing to Level 5.

Mainly because there were very few opportunities for high-difficulty wound cleaning, consequently few chances to earn 100 Experience Points rewards.

Relying solely on earning 1 point of Wound Cleaning Skill Experience Points each time, advancing to Level 5 was highly difficult.

It required a total of 10,000 wound-cleaning surgeries.

Many surgeons might not manage to perform that many surgeries in their lifetime.

After the wound cleaning and hemostasis, Wu Ziyu envied the scene.

"Director Liu, Dr. Zhou, could you let me suture?"

Watching Zhou Can take on increasingly advanced surgical tasks, while she couldn't even get a slightly difficult suture task, made her very anxious.

Being in the company of the strong naturally forces you to progress.

She wanted to close the gap with Zhou Can.

"The suturing requirements for this surgery are very high; you're not yet capable of it! I'll let you practice with a simpler suture task next time!"

Director Liu didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm either.

But when it comes to delegating surgical authority, no senior doctors would do so lightly.

Don't think that Director Liu would dare to delegate a high-difficulty task like separating and incising a neck fistula to Zhou Can lightly. That was because Zhou Can had accumulated enough trust by consistently performing well, convincing Director Liu of his abilities.

Wu Ziyu had barely been involved in surgery for two days, and in Director Liu's eyes, her trust level was still very low.

And her surgical skills were far from comparable to Zhou Can's.

So it was not surprising that she was rejected.

"Dr. Wu, there's no need to be too anxious, things will naturally fall into place when the time is right," Zhou Can reassured her.

He understood her eagerness to improve her skills.

Zhou Can had felt the same way.

Especially in the beginning when he couldn't do this or that, watching other doctors operate made him restless.

He had been rejected by Dr. Xu many times.

Now that his skills had improved, he didn't even need to ask—senior doctors would delegate authority to him directly.

Next, he performed a layered suture on the wound and placed a rubber drain strip.

The neck was treated with sandbag compression.

With this step, the surgery was also considered complete.

Postoperative care of the patient was left to the attending doctors and nurses in the inpatient department.

"Alright, wheel the patient to the recovery room! Postoperative care should include the use of antibiotics to prevent infection, the application of dexamethasone if necessary to reduce local swelling, and nebulizer inhalation. The drainage strip should be removed within 24 to 48 hours after surgery, and sutures removed after 7 days postoperatively."

These were the medical orders issued by Director Liu.

They needed to be executed by the doctors and nurses in the inpatient department.

Zhou Can checked the remaining ten or more surgeries and felt a mountainous pressure.

He may have to work overtime very late today!

His hard work was like laying the foundation for the newly established Thyroid and Breast Surgery department.

Later, when the Thyroid and Breast Surgery department developed, these initial members of the department would somewhat remember the kindness. For Zhou Can, there would definitely be significant benefits.

…

Four days later, Zhou Can was exhausted and visibly thinner, but he had cleared all the surgeries that had piled up among the Thyroid and Breast Surgery doctors.

His surgical experience had seen a soaring improvement.

Previously, working with Director Liu, he mainly dealt with thyroid diseases.

These four days of surgery, although less than a hundred, were varied and involved various medical fields. It was of great help in expanding Zhou Can's surgical knowledge.
