My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 1219 - 481: Gaining a Wave of Orthopedic Experience Points, Level 6 Incision Skill_2
Vice Director Hee knows his surgical skills are limited, and tackling such a tough case relies on Zhou Can for any chance of success. So, after discussing it with Zhou Can and Director Xue Yan, they scheduled the surgery for tonight.
There’s something particularly interesting—last time the Third Hospital poached so many key doctors and nurses from Tuya’s Cardiothoracic Surgery Department, yet Vice Director Hee wasn’t swayed.
This took both Zhou Can and Director Xue Yan by surprise.
It’s known that Vice Director Hee has always been a thorough and refined egotist. Even though he bowed to Director Xue Yan and stopped vying for the department chief position, he still behaves quite selfishly in his daily work.
By common logic, such a person is generally easy to poach.
Yet, the Third Hospital couldn’t lure him away.
After Zhou Can heard that several doctors from the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department resigned consecutively the following day, Vice Director Hee’s temper became unusually irritable and angry, smashing several cups in his office.
Why exactly he was angry, nobody knows.
It might be that the poaching of many doctors from the Thoracic Surgery Department significantly increased his work pressure. Or it could be because a large group of key personnel resigned collectively, including some key doctors he personally trained, which made him furious.
But there’s another version.
Rumor has it that the Third Hospital offered 700,000 a year, after tax, to poach a deputy chief physician under him, and Vice Director Zhang from the Third Hospital personally went to recruit.
For Vice Director Hee, the Third Hospital offered only 600,000, without specifying whether it was after or before tax. Moreover, the recruiter was merely a department-level officer from the Third Hospital.
The treatment was evidently lower than that of the deputy chief physician.
Isn’t this a slap to Vice Director Hee’s face?
It’s estimated that the latter rumor is quite truthful. Otherwise, given Vice Director Hee’s personality, he’d be very likely to switch jobs.
Of course, without personal confirmation, no one knows for sure.
For Tuya Hospital, whether true or false, ever since a large number of key medical and nursing staff were poached from the department, Vice Director Hee has been working more diligently; this is an undeniable fact. Both the hospital and the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department have benefited.
"Dr. Zhou, for this patient’s mediastinal lymph node sweep and right lung lobe excision, I fear you’ll need to be the lead surgeon."
After the second patient was brought into the operating room, Vice Director Hee quickly arrived.
Director Xue Yan led a team in performing another cardiac surgery. Her surgical ability has become very strong now, having Zhou Can in the same operating room as backup suffices.
For her, Zhou Can’s role in the surgery is often more of a cleanup help.
During emergencies, Zhou Can swiftly intervenes to rescue.
In clearer terms, Zhou Can essentially plays the role that Director Hu previously did.
"No problem, you just guide me on the surgery from the side. We young people should do more."
Even though Zhou Can now has a pretty good relationship with Vice Director Hee.
But a small character is always a small character.
He never changes his view of Vice Director Hee because of the latter’s friendly attitude or deliberate attempts to curry favor. When interacting, he always remains very humble and cautious in front of Vice Director Hee.
He also tries to talk less and do more, not provoke any discontent from Vice Director Hee.
People eat grains, one’s nurture shapes diverse personalities.
A department can have as few as dozens, as many as one or two hundred people, or even more.
It’s impossible to expect everyone to be noble and kind.
All kinds exist.
The key is learning to unite these people, gather everyone’s strength, and collectively accomplish the department’s diagnostic and treatment business. This is the vision and bearing, along with managerial skills, a manager should possess.
Over the past year, Zhou Can has made remarkable improvements in management capabilities.
This also lays a foundation for him to lead a larger surgical team and perhaps advance to department chief, even vice president, president, in the future.
The surgery soon began.
Upon opening the patient’s chest cavity, he found that the actual situation was more severe than the scans had shown.
Some small-diameter tumors can’t be detected even by the most advanced instruments. Only by opening the chest or abdominal cavity and using the naked eye can they be seen.
"His cancer cell metastasis and spread is far worse than imagined!"
Zhou Can observed the patient’s right lung, surrounding tissues, and mediastinal lymph nodes, based on experience, this indicated severe cancer cell infiltration.
Surgical doctors who’ve done dissections know well that malignant tumors often appear bizarre and have an unpleasant color. Benign tumors, however, have clear boundaries and regular shapes.
Just like poisonous mushrooms often have vibrant colors, easily recognizable.
Of course, some poisonous mushrooms look plain and clean but are still toxic.
Some malignant tumors might resemble benign ones in appearance, making it hard to judge with the naked eye.
This is why doctors never judge the quality of removed tumors based on experience but send them directly for pathological examination.
Often, intraoperative tests are conducted.
This generally requires coordination with the pathology department before surgery, then during surgery, the excised tissue is urgently sent for examination, delivering fast results. If benign, normal removal suffices.
If malignant, expansion excision is required, and further search or lymph node clearance may be necessary.
"I might need a magnifying glass."
Upon hearing this, the circulating nurse quickly got him a magnifying glass.
"How’s that, all set?"
The circulating nurse spoke to him very gently.
