Chapter 1512 - 610: The Four-Onlys Breakthrough Begins? There’s Always a Place for You (2)
For the patient, this is simply a disaster.It’s already unfortunate enough to be sick, and as a result, to encounter a doctor focused on research or academics who orders a pile of tests and prescribes a heap of drugs, yet the illness doesn’t improve. Anyone experiencing this would find it disastrous.
Therefore, breaking the four "only" criteria has become urgent.
Many capable doctors have been driven away by hospital management personnel with bureaucratic tendencies, or even by logistic staff, and this is not an isolated case but rather a very common phenomenon.
These phenomena are very much worth vigilance.
To be honest, if a doctor stops being a doctor, they certainly won’t starve to death.
But if patients lose the doctors who can heal them, survival becomes very challenging.
After Zhou Can sorted out these crucial points, he felt much more at ease.
Entering the Famous Doctor Hall is definitely a good thing.
What he needs to do is to work hard to further improve his medical skills.
In fact, he has always been working hard, but after reaching the director level, the required experience points are so many that the upgrade has become slow.
This is also a normal phenomenon; which powerful director physician isn’t in their fifties or sixties?
Most of the directors who are not even forty have advanced because of their high academic qualifications, numerous theses, and fruitful research results. Their actual diagnostic and treatment levels are a big question mark.
The female patient with massive intraoperative bleeding is now out of danger, and Zhou Can returned to his operating room to continue the surgery.
When it was time for lunch, he went to the ward to visit the boy with high-level quadriplegia.
He was still limp and lying on the hospital bed, unable to move his hands and feet.
The parts below his neck couldn’t move.
He couldn’t even turn his head.
But he could open and close his eyes, slightly open his mouth, though he couldn’t make a sound.
He could eat liquid food.
However, in his condition, he must be especially careful not to choke.
It’s very easy to suffocate to death.
"Jiang Wei, what do you think of this child’s condition?"
When Zhou Can diagnoses complex cases or does rounds, he usually takes Jiang Wei with him now.
She also enjoys being valued by Zhou Can.
Following Zhou Can to do rounds or diagnose complex cases has greatly improved her nursing skills.
Qiao Yu has been working hard to prepare for studying abroad recently.
It’s heard that she is almost ready, just waiting for the foreign university to offer her a position.
Of course, besides getting the admission letter, studying abroad also poses a significant financial challenge. Everyone knows that 7 RMB is equivalent to 1 USD.
No matter which developed country one studies in, the cost of living is not low.
Even if the fees are only 20,000 USD a year, that’s still an astronomical figure when converted to RMB, with annual tuition fees exceeding 140,000 RMB.
In fact, 2000 USD/month is considered a low salary over there.
Supermarket salespeople, restaurant waiters, and other basic jobs earn about that much.
The tuition in some states can exceed 40,000 USD per year, and even for just three years of study abroad, it would be over 120,000 USD.
If it’s completely self-funded education, you may even need to pay a sponsorship fee-like sum, and the total cost for three years of studying abroad would generally not be less than 2 million RMB.
Qiao Yu’s current monthly salary is around 20,000 to 30,000 RMB.
This is an income level that ordinary nurses find hard to achieve; she benefits from Zhou Can’s influence to have such a high income.
Of course, when it comes to being a surgical nurse, Zhou Can still prefers her to take on the role.
Neither Jiang Wei nor Ma Xiaolan matches Qiao Yu’s level of compatibility as a surgical nurse.
Ma Xiaolan even sometimes makes packaging errors.
Incomplete preparation of instruments is a common occurrence.
Qiao Yu works with exceptional steadfastness and meticulousness, and during surgery, she and Zhou Can seem to have a perfect understanding. Their cooperation is truly flawless.
Jiang Wei carefully examined the child’s condition, then reviewed the examination report, and finally shook her head.
"It seems like this child is a typical case of high-level quadriplegia, very likely due to severe cervical spine trauma. Even abroad, this is hard to cure."
She has studied abroad and has clinical nursing experience at an overseas medical center.
She is considered to be very knowledgeable and experienced.
When she said it couldn’t be cured abroad, sending the patient overseas was basically futile.
Last time, there was a malignant tumor patient with a hepatic tumor, invading the bile duct. After Jiang Wei saw it, she directly said that the patient had no surgical chance.
Zhou Can had researched the case thoroughly at the time.
He believed that partial hepatectomy and complete cholecystectomy, supplemented with radiotherapy, should achieve good results.
Later, the patient, considering safety, believed that foreign technology was more advanced.
Ultimately, they chose to go abroad for treatment.
The treatment plan provided abroad was basically similar to Zhou Can’s plan.
Of course, the treatment cost abroad was something ordinary people couldn’t afford.
The patient was a businessman, quite wealthy.
He spent millions but didn’t survive even five months.
After nearly four months of treatment abroad, the condition worsened. The patient wished to return home while he was still breathing, choosing to return directly.
Zhou Can still remembers the patient’s family, tearfully bringing the patient to Tuya Hospital.
The patient was emaciated, with an abdomen distended like a drum, and a voice as faint as a mosquito’s.
Treatment at Tuya Hospital was merely palliative care.
Both he and the family knew the end was near.
Soon after being admitted to Tuya Hospital, the patient fell into a coma, and the family, following the patient’s wishes, decided not to resuscitate.
He eventually passed away.
That case greatly elevated Zhou Can’s opinion of Jiang Wei’s predictive abilities.
Afterward, cases she deemed hard to treat generally fulfilled her expectations.
The outcomes for those patients were generally poor.
Now, she is not optimistic about this child’s prognosis, which gives Zhou Can a somewhat heavy heart.
Despite this, Zhou Can still ordered some necessary supplementary exams for the child.
Continuously thinking about the true cause of illness, and potential treatment plans.
After work, Zhou Can decided to thoroughly research that child’s condition.
The family had come all the way from the capital, so he was determined to go all out.
"Brother Can, I have something to discuss with you."
Qiao Yu called out to him.
Most of the other members of the surgical team called Zhou Can boss. Qiao Yu used to call him Dr. Zhou, but after Zhou Can was promoted she switched to Director Zhou.
Zhou Can found it too distant.
They had built a deep friendship since training together.
Others may call him Director Zhou out of respect. But when Qiao Yu did so, it felt awkward to him.
Finally, she started calling Zhou Can, Brother Can.
Many familiar junior nurses or young doctors at the hospital called him this way.
"Even without you saying it, I know. You have settled the studying abroad issue, right?"
Seeing the joyful expression on her face, Zhou Can guessed some of it.
She must have received an offer from a prestigious foreign university.
"The admission letter is here, and I plan to go abroad for a further 3-4 year study, resigning around the 12th of next month. Thank you for your care, support, and nurturing over the years. Being able to know you and work with you for so long is the greatest fortune of my life. I will always remember it. You can start looking for a new nurse now."
Qiao Yu is an honest person.
She speaks in this straightforward manner.
If Zhou Can were not dating Su Qianqian, he might have seriously considered marrying her.
It’s just that fate can be unpredictable and destiny can often play tricks.
Many things in the world cannot be perfect, nor can they always meet one’s expectations.
"Hey, are you implying that you’re not planning to come back afterward?"
Zhou Can asked, looking into her eyes.
"Once I finish my studies, I will definitely return to the country." She brushed her hair back from her forehead, revealing a self-deprecating smile. "Oh, I’m not afraid of you laughing at me for saying this, I’ve been influenced by nationalism since childhood, no matter how good things are abroad, I won’t be nostalgic. My aim to study abroad is partly a desire I’ve long had, and another reason is also influenced by Sister Jiang Wei. Seeing her extensive knowledge and her extraordinary nursing abilities made me really envious."
Jiang Wei’s arrival indeed had a significant influence on Qiao Yu.
She was always a particularly ambitious and wise girl. Naturally, she didn’t want to lag behind.
"Since you’re coming back to the country, don’t say farewell words to me. My team will always have a place for you. Do you know who holds the highest status in the operating room?"
Zhou Can asked her.
