My Medical Skills Give Me Experiences - Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Hello, Auntie

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“After I graduated from university, I returned to my hometown, Shuangchuan County People’s Hospital and became a doctor. I’ve done all kinds of internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and emergency care. This job lasted for 14 years. I went from an intern to an Attending Physician in the hospital. If nothing goes wrong, I’ll be able to be evaluated for promotion to Deputy Director next year.”

Jin Mingxi talked about his past for the first time.

“Wait, you’re 35 years old, right?”

Dr. Xu’s habit of being serious seemed to be acting up again.

“Yes, I’ll turn 35 this year. I won’t have another chance in my life if I didn’t get into Tu Ya’s House Officer this year.” Jin Mingxi was making his final sprint at the age point.

There were actually many doctors like him.

Tu Ya’s qualification for a House Officer was too difficult.

It was just like how old students or Elementary Scholars in ancient society refused to give up in order to become High Scholars.

Many doctors who did not get into Tu Ya’s House Officer qualification this year and would continue to take the exam next year. They would persevere as long as they were not older than 35 years old.

“You’re at least 23 years old after graduating from an undergraduate degree. You’ve worked for 14 years. Doesn’t that mean you’re 37 years old?” Dr. Xu’s sharp gaze stared at him.

This was a huge flaw.

Dr. Xu had also looked at Zhou Can with such a gaze not long ago.

“Hey, I skipped three grades when I was in primary school. I was even called a prodigy for a long time,” Jin Mingxi explained with a smile.

There were such prodigies all over the country and there was even a special youth genius class.

He did not expect Jin Mingxi to be so powerful when he was young that he could jump three grades in a row.

“You’ve worked at the county hospital in your hometown for so many years. Why did you think of coming to Tu Ya to be a House Officer?” Dr. Xu asked curiously.

He would be able to be promoted to Deputy Director and would be able to make a name for himself in another year.

He could still lead a very comfortable life even though he was only the Deputy Director of the county-level hospital.

At this level, there was no need to go to Tu Ya Hospital to suffer as a House Officer.

“How should I put it? For my personal interests, there’s indeed no need to travel thousands of miles to Tu Ya Hospital to be a House Officer. My hometown, Shuangchuan County, is located in a remote mountainous area. It’s poor and backward. It can’t keep high-end talents at all. This also causes the overall medical standard of the county hospital to be especially backward.”

“When I’m working, I often encounter patients who die because of the local medical standards and medical conditions. I’m especially sad every time this happens. Because I know that their illness can definitely be cured in a big hospital like Tu Ya.”

“Later on, I had an idea. I’ll get into a top hospital and become a doctor. After I learn the skills, I’ll go back and teach them to the doctors in my hometown’s hospital. Only then can I slowly improve the medical standards of my hometown and save more people.”

After hearing Jin Mingxi’s words, everyone fell silent.

The spirit of a doctor who sacrificed his small family to protect everyone was especially great.

Everyone had emotions, but there were really not many people who dared to abandon their personal interests and devote themselves to the people and contribute to the medicine of their hometown.

Heroes like Jin Mingxi would often appear whenever the country and their hometown was in trouble.

At the critical moment, they dared to stand up and were not afraid of sacrifice.

Throughout China’s thousands of years of history, be it the Five Barbarians of China at the end of the Jin Dynasty or the invasion of the eight countries at the end of the Qing Dynasty, every time the Chinese nation was in a dangerous situation where their country was about to be destroyed, countless heroes would stand up.

They were brave enough to sacrifice their lives to protect their country.

This was the blood and courage engraved in the bones of Chinese children.

“Doctor Jin, I believe your wish will definitely be fulfilled.” Zhou Can sincerely wished him well.

In the future, if he had the ability, he would be happy to help.

“Thank you!”

Jin Mingxi smiled gratefully at Zhou Can.

“The amazing Doctor Jin! The amazing dream! If there’s anything you don’t understand in the future, you can ask me at any time.” Doctor Xu was also touched by Jin Mingxi.

She gave him a thumbs up.

“Definitely! Thank you!”

Jin Mingxi nodded heavily.

“Hehe, Dr. Jin’s idea is indeed great, but I think it’s better to let those more capable people do these things. Anyway, I definitely wouldn’t do such a stupid thing if it were me.”

Doctor Lu did not agree with Jin Mingxi’s actions.

“Maybe! There are some things that someone has to do. I know my ability is limited, but it’s a good thing even if it’s just a lead role.”

Jin Mingxi’s conviction was firm and he was unmoved.

An exquisite egoist like Doctor Lu could not understand it at all.

At this moment, another patient entered.

“Ahhh, ahhh, hurry up and operate on me. I’m about to die…” The patient lay on the cart and kept moaning.

Zhou Can found the voice familiar.

“The two of you, go over and receive it!”

Dr. Xu instructed Zhou Can and Jin Mingxi.

“Doctor Xu, this patient has been here since this morning. She was registered with the gastroenterology department. After a checkup, she found that it was cerebellar colitis. Therefore, the internal medicine department asked her to go to the surgical proctology department to register for surgery. She had been waiting in line for a long time. She couldn’t stand the pain and heard from others that the emergency department didn’t have to queue. That’s why she came to our place. What Doctor Luo Yong means is for us to do as much as possible for her.”

The nurse gave him a rough introduction.

Due to the high popularity of large hospitals, there were people from all over the country who came to see them. The number of people seeking treatment was especially high.

Queuing was a difficult time for every patient.

There had even been cases of patients dying before they could be treated because they had queued for too long.

The female patient on the cart was a little miserable. She wandered around the hospital’s internal medicine and surgery departments for nearly a day. In the end, she had no choice but to go to the emergency department to ask the doctor for treatment.

It was not like there wasn’t a queue in the Emergency Department.

The patient’s condition was critical and could be resuscitated first.

Moreover, because the Emergency Department was only an emergency rescue station, it had to accept all kinds of patients and receive a huge number of consultations. This caused the doctors in the Emergency Department to be a Jack of all trades and master of none.

When they encountered difficult cases or non-emergency situations, the patient would still be sent to a specialist treatment.

Zhou Can took the cart from the nurse and looked down at the female patient who was crying out in pain.

He was immediately amused.

No wonder the voice sounded so familiar.

Wasn’t this the auntie who accused him of being a hospital scalper in the outpatient hall this morning?

After a day in the hospital, the makeup on the auntie’s face was already a mess, and her hair was also a mess.

It looked as scary as a ghost.

If not for Zhou Can’s deep impression of her, he almost wouldn’t have recognized her.

“Are you accompanied by a family member?”

Dr. Xu asked.

The auntie was so focused on screaming in pain that she did not seem to hear Dr. Xu’s question.

Zhou Can could only repeat it.

“The Attending Physician asked if you were accompanied by a family member?”

The auntie heard it clearly this time.

“No one accompanied me! I can sign it myself. I’ve already signed the surgery consent form and paid the money.”

The auntie was so sick. Why didn’t she ask her family to accompany her?

“This surgery of yours is a Level Two surgery. If you go to a specialized department for laparoscopy, it will be considered a Level Three surgery. You have to be accompanied by your family!” Doctor Xu said as he took the auntie’s examination information to check.

Whether this surgery could be done or not was up to him to decide.

Doctor Luo Yong could only give suggestions.

“Her intestines are already so obstructed. If she had come to the hospital for treatment earlier, she might not have needed surgery!”

After seeing the abdominal ultrasound and CT scan, he sighed slightly.

The cerebellum stone was actually caused by the fecal stone falling into the appendix cavity.

If it was not serious, it could be treated conservatively.

It can be excreted through medicine.

It would be serious if it developed to the point of intestinal obstruction or even near necrosis.

It needed to be removed along with the appendix.

The auntie looked very troubled when she heard that she had to find a family member to accompany her.

She looked at Zhou Can.

“Young man, your voice sounded a little familiar just now. Can you take off your mask and let me take a look? Maybe we know each other.” She must be thinking that if she was familiar with this young doctor.

She thought she might not have to look for her family if she begged for mercy.

Zhou Can took off his mask as a teasing smile appeared on his face.

“Hello, Auntie!”

This was how Zhou Can had greeted her in the morning.

“Ah… How could it be you?” The auntie thought that this young doctor might be an acquaintance. It would be easier for her to be taken care of if she tried to build a relationship with him and said a few good words.

However, when Zhou Can took off his mask and saw his true appearance, she couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.

Enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road. Wasn’t this the young man she had scolded as a hospital scalper this morning?

“Hehe, this world is so small. We are meeting again.”

Zhou Can smiled in an especially pleased manner.

In the morning, he had suffered a stomach full of anger from this auntie in the outpatient hall. Now that she was a patient and Zhou Can was a doctor, she probably wanted to die.

What she was most worried about was Zhou Can taking revenge on her.
