From this, it can be seen that the doctors and nurses in neurosurgery all have their own cliques and intricate relationships.
They share various important information within the department with each other.
Currently, only Dr. Zou from the group treats Zhou Can with a somewhat cold attitude.
Zhou Can also understands that Dr. Zou is acting this way because he lost face.
Regarding this, Zhou Can doesn't care at all.
Nor would he deliberately hide his talents just to curry favor with Dr. Zou.
He will strive for surgical opportunities when appropriate and report patient conditions when necessary.
What Dr. Zou needs to do is to adapt.
The first day of neurosurgery standardized training quickly came to an end.
Zhou Can's gains far exceeded his expectations.
He stood out from the twenty trainees and earned the privilege of studying under a chief physician.
Perhaps considering it was his first day at neurosurgery, he wasn't scheduled for the night shift.
Bear in mind that interns, standardized trainees, and postgraduates are all the focus of shift schedules.
After getting off work and returning to the apartment, he continued to practice the swift knife technique and the advanced medical skills of insertion, grasping, and passing.
Jin Mingxi finished work much later than him.
He didn't get off work until almost eight in the evening.
As soon as he entered the apartment, he collapsed onto the bed as if drained.
"Ah, I'm exhausted. The survival environment in neurosurgery is really harsh; they don't treat us standardized trainees like humans at all."
Jin Mingxi had gone through two department trainings and had never complained of being tired.
But on his first day of training in neurosurgery, he started to grumble. This shows just how enormous the workload in neurosurgery really is.
Not only him, but even Zhou Can didn't have it much better.
Previously, under Cheng Gang, he was treated like a slave.
Fortunately, he later leveraged his abilities and jumped to Director Wen's team, which made his life much more comfortable.
"Well, if you want to learn skills, that's the way it is! Only through extreme hardship can one rise above others. Haven't you heard of that?"
Zhou Can turned around and said with a smile.
"You're not the one with a sore back from standing all day! Don't think I don't know, you've now won Director Wen's favor, and are personally mentored by a chief physician. How could you understand the suffering of us lowly folks?"
Jin Mingxi rolled his eyes dramatically.
His tone was not without envy.
"Ha ha, you sure are well-informed."
Zhou Can has soared high above the other standardized trainees, and it would be dishonest to say his heart isn't brimming with pride at his age.
After all, from infancy to old age, every stage of life has its own characteristics.
If he does exceptionally well and feels no pride, then he must be a saint.
"Once your position is a bit more stable, can you put in a good word for me? My resident doctor above me is truly unbearable, even worse than the notorious Song Dynasty extortioner Zhou Bapi or the Qing Dynasty landlord Huang Shiren. They shove all the dirty and tiring work to me, and after finishing it, I still get scolded."
Jin Mingxi was no workplace newbie.
He was fully aware of Zhou Can's current influence.
Having a chief physician over him, Zhou Can's status in the department was much higher than that of an ordinary resident doctor.
Just a word from Zhou Can would be enough to stop his resident doctor from exploiting him .
"When they assign tasks, doesn't your second ward team also have a trainee named Chen Hao? Doesn't he have to work too?"
"Don't mention that guy. He's really good at sucking up, always buttering up the resident doctor above us. Just one day in, and he's already in their good graces. I'm just not smooth-talker, and I can't swallow my pride or dignity, so I suffer. All the tough and dirty work goes to me alone."
When mentioning this ordeal, Jin Mingxi felt a deep bitterness.
Zhou Can, after listening, burst into laughter.
Everyone has their way of surviving; some are good at flattering and ingratiating themselves with superiors, while others just keep their heads down and work hard.
Honest people are bullied everywhere.
To find a mentor like Dr. Xu is quite rare.
"What's your superior resident doctor's name?"
Having his good buddy bullied, and having the capacity to help, Zhou Can naturally would lend a hand.
Zhou Can had never heard of this resident doctor.
But he was new to neurosurgery and not familiar with the staff yet.
"Do you know who Dai Wei's attending physician is?"
Zhou Can thought it would be more effective to directly speak with Dai Wei's superior attending physician.
With Zhou Can's current role, he certainly had the capability.
"It seems to be Dr. Ou Xinjin, I'm not entirely sure though. I just saw him reporting to Dr. Ou."
Jin Mingxi was also not familiar with the departmental personnel.
"Okay, I'll do my best to help."
"Hey hey, brother, you're so good to me. I knew you'd agree." Jin Mingxi laughed happily.
When one's status is low, being pulled up by someone can indeed bring significant advantages.
The benefits obtained can be substantial.
Otherwise, without someone to intercede, slaving away in neurosurgery for two months would lead to little technical progress, while enduring plenty of scolding.
The next day, Zhou Can arrived at the hospital just at seven o'clock.
According to the regulations, they must arrive at their respective departments by 7:40. Arriving forty minutes early gave them enough time to review the cases within their group.
He checked and found that there were three surgeries scheduled for the group today.
Dr. Zou had one Level 2 surgery, and Director Wen had two.
He first checked Dr. Zou's Level 2 surgery. It concerned a patient with a traumatic injury, requiring surgery for a skull fracture.
After carefully reviewing the patient's CT and X-ray images, although the fracture was not large, the condition was quite serious.
