My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 221 - 124: Wasted Effort, Director Shen Arrives Late_3

Now she was caught between a rock and a hard place, which worried her sick.

"Doctor Shan, could you let me give it a try?"

Zhou Can mustered his courage to make the request.

He was keenly aware that Doctor Shan wouldn't even give him the chance to make an incision on the skin.

How could she possibly let him take on such an important task as freeing a blood vessel?

Doctor Shan stared at Zhou Can, her gaze sharp.

"What did you say?"

"I asked if I could try to free this blood vessel. I've done it with intestines in the Emergency Department."

Zhou Can quickly brought up his successful experience.

"What kind of surgery involves freeing the intestines?"

She asked, looking into Zhou Can's eyes.

"Appendectomy!"

She hadn't performed this surgery herself but knew the general steps.

It indeed required separating the omentum and the intestinal tract.

And it was not of low difficulty.

"Are you confident?"

"I wouldn't dare claim to be 100% sure, but over 90%, yes!"

Doctor Shan was in a fierce internal struggle, debating whether to let this eager trainee try his hand.

After all, Zhou Can had always performed exceptionally well.

In the end, she decided to take the risk and let Zhou Can try.

This was somewhat risky, but still within an acceptable range.

If Zhou Can performed poorly, she could immediately call a stop to it.

"Give it a try! But be very careful, and stop immediately if you're unsure. If you dare to be reckless and mess around, I'll cancel your residency training right away."

This was more of a scare tactic.

She probably didn't have the authority to cancel Zhou Can's residency training.

At most, she could administer some punishment.

After all, Zhou Can hadn't committed any unforgivable or heinous act.

"Doctor Shan, are you really deciding to let him try? He is just a trainee, after all!"

Doctor Tang made a concerted effort to dissuade her.

After all, if something went wrong, he would also be implicated to some extent.

"We don't have a better option now. A person's eyes do not lie, his eyes show strong confidence, let him try!"

Doctor Shan explained.

Zhou Can stepped into Doctor Shan's position, took the scalpel from the instrument nurse, and began to free the vein.

A master is known by his first move.

Everyone could tell from Zhou Can's calm and composed manner that he might really be capable.

One cut!

The vessel was intact, and he had successfully freed a small section.

Doctor Shan's heart, which had been in her throat, promptly fell back into place.

But as Zhou Can made the second cut, her heart was raised again. She was extremely tense, her eyes fixed intently on the knife in Zhou Can's hands.

She would call a stop immediately at the slightest sign of trouble.

"Uh... is this really freeing a blood vessel? It feels more like peeling sugarcane."

She noticed that Zhou Can's cuts were always crisp and decisive.

Nothing like her careful and cautious approach, like walking on thin ice.

Her heart was on a rollercoaster, fluctuating with the rise and fall of Zhou Can's scalpel.

She couldn't help but be nervous.

Because if something went wrong, she would be responsible.

Zhou Can's movements became faster and faster. The vein that was difficult to free now seemed like child's play in his hands. In about five minutes, he successfully separated it.

It should be noted that Doctor Shan took nearly half an hour to free the first artery which wasn't as difficult.

The disparity between the two parties is too great.

She is the chief surgeon and attending physician after all!

Moreover, the dissection of free blood vessels is a real test of the practitioner's Separation Skill.

"Doctor Shan, this blood vessel has been dissected successfully!"

Zhou Can was ready to give up the position, returning the scalpel to the nurse.

"Well done! We're not finished yet, Dr. Zhou keep on going," Doctor Shan said with a smile.

It was then that everyone recovered from their extreme shock.

Looking at Zhou Can, it was as though they were staring at a monster.

"Goodness gracious, I've been in the operating room for four years and I've never seen a resident doctor as formidable as this. Tell us the truth, Dr. Zhou, are you really a resident doctor?"

Doctor Tang is also a senior resident doctor.

At this moment, after witnessing Zhou Can dissect that difficult vein, he was incredibly astonished.

Even if Director Shen came to take over the surgery personally, he would probably be at this level of proficiency.

And he might not be as fast as Zhou Can.

"Our batch of resident doctors is finished! How can we compete with such a 'monster'?"

This person voiced the mutual feelings of all the resident doctors.

"We're not competing with a resident doctor but with an attending physician."

Another resident doctor said in a dejected and helpless manner.

"It's not as exaggerated as you all make it out to be! I just happen to be particularly adept at dissection," Zhou Can modestly argued with a smile.

"Dr. Zhou seems to be proficient in many areas – puncturing, hemostasis, suturing, dissecting... and that's just from one day of interaction. Who knows how many more strengths will be revealed later on? Comrades, I give up. It's not that I'm weak, but that the opponent is too strong," said the resident doctor skilled in reviewing diagnostic films with a look of dejection.

"Alright, alright, if you all want to praise Dr. Zhou, do it after we finish this surgery. No more chitchat, lest you distract Dr. Zhou from operating."

Doctor Shan forcibly silenced everyone.

Otherwise, these people would sing Zhou Can's praises for half an hour non-stop. Would we then still be able to continue with the surgery?

The dissection of blood vessels is extremely risky.

If Zhou Can gets distracted and an accident occurs, she would have to bear the responsibility.

Zhou Can continued dissecting blood vessels.

One, two...

Just as he was about to finish with the last one, Director Shen hurriedly came to assist his disciple – Doctor Shan.

Upon entering the operating room, he took a look and was nearly scared out of his wits.

How had a young, unfamiliar male doctor taken over as chief surgeon?

"Shan Dan, what's going on?"

"Teacher, you're here!" Doctor Shan hurriedly greeted her teacher when she saw him coming. "Dr. Zhou's dissection skills are very high. I wasn't sure when you'd finish with your surgery, so I let him have a try. And as you can see, he has done very well."

Doctor Shan explained.

Director Shen's gaze fixed on Zhou Can's scalpel, his shock no less than that of the others.

"I hadn't finished my own surgery; I only took care of the most critical part before handing it over to an assistant. I thought to come over and help you with the blood vessel dissection first. But what I found was a pleasant surprise. Dr. Zhou indeed lives up to his reputation, no wonder even Director Xie of the General Surgery Department has mentioned him more than once."

When he said the word "mentioned," he stressed the syllable a bit.

It felt like Director Xie wasn't praising Zhou Can, but rather annoyed by how capable Zhou Can was in the Emergency Department and the high volume of surgeries he performed.

Then he might have discussed strategies with the other attending physicians of the surgery department.

Of course, such discussions would definitely be behind closed doors.

Not allowed to be disclosed.

"His reputation is so big that even Director Xie knows of him?"

Doctor Shan asked in surprise.

"In the Emergency Department alone, his surgical volume surpasses a thousand in one month, and last month it even reached over 1200 surgeries. Do you think his reputation is big?"

Director Shen looked at Zhou Can with eyes that measured a monster.

Previously he had thought Director Xie's investigation was inflated, how could a resident doctor who had only been in the program for three months be so strong?

But now, seeing is believing.

He was completely convinced.
