My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1485 - 597: The Ultimate Goal of Medicine Is Life, and the Student Surpasses the Master

This was also Zhou Can’s usual way of doing things—he never claimed credit all for himself.In reality, no diagnosis or treatment can be completed by one person alone; it always requires a team, or cooperation between multiple departments.

Although many people contribute, there are primary and secondary roles among them.

The attending physician and the medical staff who play key roles in treatment definitely deserve the main credit. As for the others, most are participants rather than protagonists.

"I have to thank all of you. Without Dr. Zhou helping diagnose my daughter and personally operating on her, she would hardly have survived. Without Teacher Jiang’s advanced nursing plan, my daughter would likewise not have lived. I also need to thank all the medical staff in Pediatric and Digestive Surgery. In short, I will never forget Tuya Hospital’s immense kindness in saving my daughter’s life."

Yang Jinzhi was clearly still treating Zhou Can as the main contributor.

Perhaps feeling he had slighted Jiang Wei a bit, he took the initiative to shake her hand and said, "Teacher Jiang, thank you! It’s precisely because of your and Dr. Zhou’s superb medical skills that I’ve come to truly recognize Tuya Hospital. With a hundred-year history, it’s worthy of being called a top hospital—strong capabilities and full of talent."

"You’re too polite. I only did what I was supposed to do."

Jiang Wei responded with a smile.

Facing a high-ranking leader like Yang Jinzhi, she wasn’t nervous at all; instead she behaved poised, proper, and very natural.

After the pleasantries, Zhou Can began carefully examining Lin Aixi’s physical condition.

They hadn’t seen each other for a few days, and there was already a hint of color in her cheeks; her eyes had become bright as well. The abdominal incision had begun to heal.

Children’s cells divide fast, full of vitality, so their wounds recover much faster than those of the elderly.

"Uncle Zhou, thank you and the other uncles and aunties for saving me!"

The little girl was only five, her eyes clear and pure, and she actually took the initiative to thank Zhou Can.

"Oh? You know who I am?"

Zhou Can broke into a smile.

"I saw you when I was having the operation. But you were wearing a mask then, so I didn’t see clearly. Now I finally know what you look like!"

The little girl’s voice was still somewhat weak.

But there was no coughing or wheezing.

Looking at this sprite-like little girl, Zhou Can smiled again.

"Heh, you’re quite something! How’s your body feeling now? Does your tummy still hurt?"

"Sometimes it still hurts a little."

"Do you like your dad?"

"Of course I do! My dad likes me a lot too. Several times, when I was lying in the hospital bed, I saw my dad secretly wiping his tears. At those times, I would think, I absolutely have to try my best to live, I have to stay with Dad and not let him be sad. When he gets old in the future, I can take care of him."

Hearing the little girl’s words, it was as if Zhou Can’s heart had been cleansed.

"My precious daughter is so good!"

The fact that he’d secretly wiped away tears was exposed by his daughter, and Yang Jinzhi was a bit embarrassed.

But even more, he felt tender love for his daughter.

To have such a sensible daughter made him one of the happiest fathers in the world.

Watching the way the little girl looked at her dad, Zhou Can seemed to understand a bit better why a medical miracle could occur.

Doing a good operation was one aspect, and the excellent nursing plan formulated by Jiang Wei was another. But the most crucial factor was that, under the influence of familial love, the little girl had aroused a powerful will to live.

Human potential is limitless.

In clinical medicine, medical miracles are often created under the influence and calling of family love, romantic love, and friendship.

For example, when vegetative patients wake up, the most common situation is the company and calling of family members or loved ones.

By continuously talking to them, touching them, and carefully caring for them, one can repeatedly stimulate the patient’s brain and nervous system. Eventually this creates a medical miracle and the patient wakes up.

Another situation is when a patient is severely injured or on the brink of death; the pleas and calls from family, lovers, and friends can also strongly stimulate the patient’s desire to survive. This scenario is the most likely to create medical miracles that allow the patient to live.

For instance, in earthquakes or mining disasters, some people are unfortunately buried under the rubble. Under normal circumstances, one would die after three days without food or water. Yet with the support and encouragement of love, someone once held on for a full 136 hours.

In the end, with the help of rescuers, they were successfully brought out alive.

Sometimes one really can’t help but marvel at the tenacity of life.

Through this case, Zhou Can’s understanding of life deepened significantly, and he gained new insights.

In his future clinical work, this successful case could serve as a reference and source of inspiration.

[You have comprehended a new truth about life. Pathology Diagnosis Experience Points +10000. Anesthesia Technique Experience Points +10000.]

He hadn’t expected that a single major insight could increase so many medical Experience Points at once.

And in the two most difficult skills to improve, no less.

Pathology diagnosis is not simply an understanding of disease; it’s an intimate familiarity with life itself.

As for Anesthesia Technique, that went without saying.

Anesthesiologists are called the guardians of patients’ lives; their research into the body’s life-support mechanisms is more profound than that of doctors in any other department.

[Congratulations, your Anesthesia Technique has successfully advanced to Level 6.]

[Anesthesia Technique, current Experience Points Level 6, 1/1000000, equivalent to a junior Chief Physician.]

Anesthesia Technique had always been an elective skill, especially since Zhou Can was very busy every day, which made it even more so.

At most, he went to study with Director Feng about twice a week.

However, because he performed a great many surgeries, he would help the anesthesiologists administer anesthesia for patients whenever conditions allowed. So this skill had essentially been passively upgraded to the associate chief physician level.
