Leaning on each other, they strive for their careers and learning.
The next day, Zhou Can arrived at the test site around 11 a.m.
Today, one module is tested, and three modules are tested tomorrow.
Many candidates who came to take the exams had already gathered here.
There were not only clinical physician candidates, but also candidates for oral and public health practitioner certificates, as well as clinical assistants, traditional Chinese medicine physicians, and so on.
Almost all the candidates were as if facing a formidable enemy, some with solemn expressions, some filled with tension, and some were cramming at the last minute, frantically brushing up on topics with their phones, or memorizing some difficult knowledge points.
After 4 p.m., it was finally Zhou Can's turn to enter the examination hall.
To say he wasn't nervous would be a lie.
However, once he started answering the questions, he found that the difficulty wasn't as high as the rumors suggested.
An hour and a half later, when he walked out of the examination hall, he looked relaxed.
With a study plan personally devised by Director Xue of the Cardiothoracic Surgery, it was no wonder. Zhou Can had studied almost all the questions that appeared in the exam.
Director Xue's grasp on potential exam questions was truly astonishing.
Some were happy, some were sad.
Zhou Can walked out of the examination hall with a relaxed face, while there were candidates with dejected expressions, head hung low in defeat, all around.
Those who know it find it not difficult; those who don't, find it impossible.
Examinations are always , eliminating the weak.
They are like a ruthless sieve, constantly shaking to filter out the weak and those who don't make the cut.
After resting for one night, he had another solid day of examination the next day.
By the end of the fourth module, Zhou Can's head was buzzing.
He definitely couldn't achieve a perfect score.
Because for some questions, he could feel that he answered wrongly, or simply didn't know how to answer.
However, such uncertain questions were very few.
So for the entire first trial of the medical comprehensive exam, he was relatively relaxed.
He was quite confident about his exam results.
Upon returning from the examination to his apartment, Jin Mingxi was practicing 'steadiness training.' This was also a daily mandatory task for Jin Mingxi.
"Back already! How did the exam go?"
Jin Mingxi asked concernedly about Zhou Can's examination results.
"It went okay! I didn't know a few questions, but I felt rather relaxed answering the rest. As long as I didn't terribly fail, I should be able to pass the first trial."
Zhou Can was very confident.
"When will the results come out?"
"When I took it, the results were available on the internet about a month after the first trial. The second trial will be more difficult, so you mustn't let up. You need to maintain the studying momentum of the past two months."
Jin Mingxi advised him as someone who had gone through the process.
Zhou Can definitely wouldn't relax.
After today's exam, the person he wanted to thank the most was Director Xue.
Checking the time, Director Xue should have finished work and gone home. He proactively sent her a message, partly in gratitude for her help, and partly to report on the examination situation promptly.
"As long as you follow the study plan I laid out for you in its entirety, you should be able to pass your medical comprehensive exam. Keep it up."
She replied to Zhou Can with a message.
It was clear that she had great confidence in the study plan she had personally tailored for Zhou Can.
Zhou Can's ongoing diligence in his studies goes without mention.
During the day, he was learning and training in Digestive Surgery under the guidance of Director Jia. At night, back at his apartment, he gave his all to studying the basics of medical science.
For things he didn't understand, he would try to find answers online.
For things he couldn't solve online, he would compile a list and then consult Director Xue.
Even though Zhou Can had left the Cardiothoracic Surgery department, Director Xue was always very enthusiastic each time he came to her for advice.
She was like a big sister, selflessly assisting Zhou Can.
The Digestive Surgery department had an abundant number of surgeries, and Director Jia particularly liked to cultivate successors and was very generous with delegating authority.
There was only one premise: don't mess it up.
If you have the real ability, you'd be entrusted with all kinds of tasks.
Zhou Can was able to take advantage of almost every surgical opportunity.
As days passed, he gradually made a name for himself in Digestive Surgery. Whether it was department consultations or surgeries, his participation was very high.
Not to mention endoscopic surgeries.
In a colonoscopy surgery, Zhou Can showcased his skills, impressing Director Jia enormously.
Because doctors like Zhou Can, who have both traditional surgical talent and endoscopic, minimally invasive surgery talent, are really too rare.
After that, Director Jia gradually increased the opportunities for Zhou Can to perform endoscopic surgeries.
This allowed Zhou Can to quickly accumulate Experience Points in various Advanced Medical Skills.
Digestive Surgery treated mostly various ulcers and cancers, as well as some chronic diseases like intestinal obstruction, gastritis, enteritis, and so on.
Director Jia had an extremely rich experience in diagnosis and treatment, and many difficult, miscellaneous diseases that could not be treated elsewhere could be effectively solved by him.
At the very least, he could define the cause of the illness and prescribe the right medication.
Following Director Jia for three months, Zhou Can learned about over a thousand cases of complicated and miscellaneous diseases.
Almost more than ten cases on average every day.
Such a number would be unthinkable in a city-level hospital or even lower-tiered county-level hospitals.
Only a provincial top-tier tertiary hospital like Tuya Hospital could have so many patients with complicated and miscellaneous diseases seeking consultation. It should be noted that Tuya Hospital's total number of operations each year exceeds one hundred thousand.
Based on an outpatient-to-surgery ratio of 30 to 1, the annual patient volume of Tuya Hospital is more than 3 million people. (Thanks to the valuable comments from the book friend! It has been corrected.)
