Chapter 835: Chapter 334: The Hands-Off Boss, Seeking Help from Cardiothoracic Surgery (Part 3)

Zhou Can could feel that many old acquaintances in cardiothoracic surgery still treated him as before.

Their gaze towards him was also extremely friendly.

This enduring sense of camaraderie was really wonderful.

“You rascal, you got lucky and are still playing innocent here! What’s this about being pushed onto the stage? Every young doctor sitting here wishes for the same opportunity you’re getting. Tsk tsk, Director Tang Fei from Pediatrics really is generous in giving you training opportunities, even if it’s just the simplest congenital heart surgery, it’s still a major surgery. The risks are enormous, and if anything goes wrong, you, as a training resident, wouldn’t be the one held accountable. Be satisfied, kid.”

Director Hu Kan smiled as he scolded him.

“I’m certainly satisfied! But I’m also quite terrified; if I really mess it up, it would make Director Tang Fei and the others extremely upset! Luckily, I have all the teachers in cardiothoracic surgery helping me from the back, which is why I’m not as anxious.”

Zhou Can replied with a smile.

How could he truly be so ungrateful?

Don’t be fooled by Director Zhuang seeming to shirk responsibilities, as if he were being lazy, and a bit irresponsible. In fact, as Director Hu Kan said, Zhou Can was just a training resident, and if something really happened, it would surely be the seniors who would take the blame.

Director Zhuang and Director Tang were the main responsible parties for this surgery.

Their pressure was likely much greater than Zhou Can’s.

“Did you bring the materials? Since everyone’s here, let’s discuss it together!” Director Hu Kan’s gaze shifted to the bag Zhou Can was holding.

“I brought them! First come, first served, so I’ll wait until you’ve finished discussing your work, then I’ll ask for your help in solving this issue.”

Zhou Can dared not steal the show.

“We’ve finished our discussion earlier. Dr. Zhou, please bring out the materials!” Director Le spoke up for him.

“Stop dawdling, hurry up!”

Director Hu had already begun urging.

“Then I won’t be polite!”

Zhou Can took out the patient’s materials, first handing them to Director Hu Kan for review.

Then they were passed on to several attending physicians.

As for the other attending and resident-level doctors, they sensibly gathered behind their superior doctors to observe together.

They certainly needed to save as much time as possible.

Learning must be proactive.

“Everyone has basically gone through the examination report, so don’t express your opinions yet. Let me see if Xiao Zhou has made any progress!”

Director Hu Kan’s gaze locked onto Zhou Can.

“First, talk about your surgical strategy and plan.”

Zhou Can didn’t hold back and directly shared his surgical plan.

“I plan to first establish extracorporeal circulation for the patient, then perform a total cavopulmonary connection between the systemic veins and the pulmonary artery… After completing the first-stage surgery, about twenty-four hours later, operate again to remove the atrial tunnel septal wall, retain the superior vena cava-right pulmonary artery anastomosis, and close the roof of the right atrium…”

After hearing Zhou Can’s surgical plan, the entire office fell so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

Director Le looked at him with an extremely exaggerated expression of admiration.

Director Xue Yan showed a knowing smile. The surgical plan Zhou Can presented today was so brilliant, involving many basic medical knowledge points, indicating that he hadn’t been slacking off. The learning plan she helped make for Zhou Can, he had surely been diligently studying it.

Two highly skilled attending physicians, after digesting and deeply thinking about it, looked at Zhou Can again with a shocked and exaggerated expression.

“This kid is really impressive. Although this surgical plan isn’t perfect, it tests all aspects of surgical skills, basic medical knowledge, and even some advanced medical knowledge. What’s even scarier is that merely understanding these skills and knowledge is not enough; they must also be comprehensively applied in practice.”

He’s truly remarkable.
