My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

"Fingers penetrate through the esophageal hiatus into the mediastinum, then free the esophagus, and at the esophageal cardia, encircle a strap to pull downward, drawing the esophageal cardia along with the lower end of the esophagus into the abdominal cavity..."

Deputy Director Liu did not perform the surgery himself, but with each step explained, he instructed He Hansheng to follow along.

Zhou Can had never done this type of surgery before, his experience still shallow, so he could only learn and watch from the side.

And assist when necessary.

Throughout the surgery, whether it was the longitudinal incision of the outer mucosal layer at the esophageal cardia or the subsequent reshaping and various suturing, it was all very enlightening for Zhou Can.

The complexity of this surgery was beyond imagination.

No wonder there are few doctors willing to take it on nowadays.

As the surgery was drawing to a close and the abdominal wall was being sutured, Zhou Can did not compete with the two resident doctors.

Instead, he stepped aside on his own initiative.

He was already extremely familiar with suturing the abdominal cavity and naturally saw no need to watch the resident doctors close the cavity. There was nothing new for him to learn.

Out of responsibility, He Hansheng stood by and watched closely.

Zhou Can took this opportunity to quickly take detailed notes of the surgical steps and key points for later review.

Over forty minutes later, the clumsy resident doctors finally succeeded in closing the abdominal cavity.

"The surgery was a complete success. Everyone has worked hard. You can all tidy up your surgical notes. It's already past lunchtime. I've ordered meals for everyone. After eating, you can rest for a bit, and then we'll proceed with the second surgery around three o'clock in the afternoon."

This surgery had taken quite a long time, almost five hours.

Fortunately, it was very successful.

This was a relief for everyone.

From the moment a patient is admitted, a doctor begins to invest effort, communicating with the patient's family, as well as managing the perioperative period and performing difficult surgeries.

The patient's eventual recovery and discharge from hospital is the most joyful moment for doctors.

At around two fifty in the afternoon, Zhou Can and the intern responsible for the patient's care brought the patient to Operating Room 4.

Endoscopic surgeries are generally performed in this operating room.

Just as they rounded the corner in the corridor, they saw a large group of doctors approaching, each in dark green surgical scrubs, some with masks still hanging from their chins.

Judging by the looks of it, they had just finished a surgery.

The leader of the doctors was of medium height, wearing glasses and looking to be in his forties or fifties, with an extremely steady demeanor.

This person was Director Yang Qing from General Surgery, ranked quite high among the chief surgeons capable of performing surgery.

It must be mentioned, not every chief surgeon in the field of surgery is skilled in performing surgeries.

In fact, there are very few chief surgeons who are good at it.

In theory, the strength of a surgical team is not merely due to the strength of the leading surgeon.

The lead surgeon plays the role of a trailblazer.

Director Yang Qing's surgical team had many experts and was very talented.

Du Leng also had a prominent position in the surgical team.

With a doctoral degree from a prestigious overseas university, he was in demand. Currently, he could really only be considered a newcomer to surgery, his status barely matching that of a slightly less experienced attending surgeon.

Now he had risen to the ranks of an associate chief surgeon, which shows that he was highly valued within Yang Qing's group.

"Hmm?"

Zhou Can's gaze lingered on Du Leng's face for only a second or so before quickly moving to a younger male doctor walking behind the surgical team.

That person was none other than Song Ze, who had recently defected from Deputy Director Liu.

Compared to Du Leng's coveted status, Song Ze's position fell far short.

He could only walk alongside a few resident doctors.

Moreover, he walked at the end of the resident doctors.

It's unclear what he thought he would gain by joining Yang Qing's team.

Previously, under Deputy Director Liu, before Zhou Can's arrival, he was the third in line.

Now after shifting allegiance to Director Yang Qing, he was not even as esteemed as a resident doctor.

His status was only slightly higher than that of a training physician.

Truly sad.

Upon seeing Zhou Can, Song Ze looked down guiltily.

People do feel guilty when they have done something wrong.

Director Yang Qing gave a cursory glance at the patient Zhou Can was accompanying and disinterestedly shifted his gaze away.

Let alone Zhou Can, a trainee doctor, even Deputy Director Liu wasn't someone Yang Qing would regard as significant.

Yang Qing genuinely had that level of capability and confidence.

The two groups brushed past each other.

On Zhou Can's side, only he, as a trainee doctor, and an intern made up the party, appearing somewhat isolated and weak.

As for the opposing camp, with several chief and deputy chief surgeons alone,

Not to mention attending surgeons and resident doctors,

Their strength was evidently robust and well-resourced.

The disparity in strength between the two sides was significant.

Zhou Can, with the patient and the intern, courteously stepped aside to let the other group pass first.

Modesty is not only a matter of magnanimity but sometimes also a form of composure and confidence.

As Du Leng passed by Zhou Can, his face revealed a scornful sneer, one that came from deep within.

Because the difference between their teams was too apparent.

Song Ze's defection to join Yang Qing's team was like a shot of adrenaline to Du Leng, giving him the certainty of a win in hand.
