Chapter 573: Chapter 245 Mr. Luo’s Dilemma, Difficult for those who don’t know, easy for those who do._3
The fluid flowed out almost in a spray form, very different from Luo Shengsheng’s previous puncture results.
After Luo Shengsheng performed the puncture twice, although a bright yellow fluid could also flow from the catheter, the flow rate was extremely slow.
[Injection Skill Experience Points +1.]
[You have successfully completed an extremely difficult abdominal paracentesis, rewarded with +100 Injection Skill Experience Points.]
The system never seemed to be stingy.
When it was time to award 100 Experience Points, it never gave discounts.
“This, what kind of miraculous operation is this? It succeeded just like that?”
Luo Shengsheng watched in astonishment, feeling that all the puncture techniques he had learned before were fake compared to Zhou Can’s seemingly fierce operation, which now in retrospect, appeared both cool and efficient.
Could it be that the correct way to perform a puncture should be as vigorous as Dr. Zhou just demonstrated?
It seems next time I perform a puncture on a patient, I can’t be so delicate.
But when Luo Shengsheng calmed down and saw the point where Zhou Can performed the puncture, he got anxious again.
This puncture site was where important organs intersect, and major blood vessels passed through.
He had thought about choosing this site for puncture too, but the risk involved made him give up immediately.
Performing a puncture at this site, if he were to operate, let alone vigorously, even a careful puncture could potentially damage an organ or blood vessel.
How did Zhou Can manage this?
The fluid that flowed from the catheter was indeed effusion, with no blood at all. This indicated that no organs or blood vessels were harmed.
The most terrifying thing about performing a puncture at this location is that once the needle goes in, bright red blood might spray out of the catheter.
When that happens, it means you’ve hit the jackpot.
You’ve punctured a major blood vessel.
This is also why instructors are reluctant to let interns or residents perform any slightly risky hands-on procedures.
Should anything go wrong, the instructor wouldn’t even have time to cry.
“Is it all good now?”
The family members also had complex expressions, filled with immense relief.
Seeing that Mr. Luo, the doctor who had attempted the procedure twice without success, they knew the difficulty of the puncture must be especially high. But they didn’t expect that Dr. Zhou, who seemed younger, would succeed in one attempt.
And with such speed that there wasn’t even time to ask him to stop.
And he just succeeded.
They started to suspect whether Luo Shengsheng was merely putting on an act before?
The way the family members looked at Zhou Can had shifted from initial skepticism and anger to respect and gratitude.
For the family members, whoever could cure their relatives’ illness is their benefactor.
“I have never seen such effortless puncture operation by Dr. Zhou before! His skill level might well rival those chief physicians!”
The nursing staff are mostly young junior sisters.
This female nurse looked to be around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, very young.
Seeing how skilled Zhou Can was at puncturing, she developed a sense of admiration for him.
And she even smiled while taking the initiative to strike up a conversation and show goodwill.
“Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Miss Nurse! I am still far from the level of a chief physician.”
Zhou Can’s current Injection Skill level is at the level of an associate chief physician, and to be promoted to chief physician, he would need a total of 100,000 Experience Points. That is a tremendously terrifying number.
Indeed, it’s still a long way to get there.
As his various medical skills advanced to level five, the pace at which these skills upgraded became very slow.
This is a normal phenomenon.
Many doctors take twenty to thirty years to reach the level of a chief physician, and that still refers only to the very excellent few.
As for doctors with lower aptitude, they might remain at the attending physician level for their whole life.
“I just reviewed the patient’s scans, and her abdominal effusion will continue to accumulate until the underlying condition is resolved. This drainage tube should ideally be maintained continuously. However, during the nursing process, it is particularly important to remove the catheter promptly when there is no effusion flowing out to avoid causing an intra-abdominal infection.”
Zhou Can reminded the nurse.
Regarding patient care, the hospital has never explicitly stipulated that only nurses can operate.
Generally, doctors and nurses work together to manage and ensure that the patient recovers smoothly and is discharged from the hospital.
“Mr. Luo, as this patient’s puncture is complete, the family of patient in bed 73 might still need your assistance to handle it!” Zhou Can requested Luo Shengsheng.
