Chapter 302 -152: Standing Up for a Good Friend, Dr. Ou Arrives Just in Time

Marriage is such a peculiar door; those standing outside want to enter, while those inside want to leave.

Zhou Can had only been in a love affair and indeed couldn’t understand many profound things.

The female patient had completed surgery, and it was already past work hours.

That’s how it is with surgeries; doctors have to grit their teeth and finish, even if they were to defecate in their pants.

Zhou Can volunteered to help the nurses move the patient back to the ward for recovery.

Dr. Zou had left earlier on due to some matters.

“Should we move her back to bed 27?”

Zhou Can asked the female nurse.

“What else?”

The nurse smiled at Zhou Can, showing her teeth.

In the operating room, Dr. Zou’s attitude towards Zhou Can was truly that of a peer. Coupled with Zhou Can’s outstanding performance during the surgery, the nurse naturally held him in high regard.

Many people do not understand why nurses like to curry favor with doctors.

Apart from the higher status of doctors over nurses, doctors can often provide strong support in matters such as job promotion and departmental evaluations.

Take Qiao Yu as an example; she was initially just a pre-op nurse with a lowly status and few opportunities for training.

Because she had a good relationship with Zhou Can, during important surgeries, she could be directly appointed as the instrument nurse by Zhou Can. This was indeed very helpful for her.

“She just had surgery and must not be subjected to any collisions. I think if we could arrange a quieter bed for her, it would certainly benefit her physical recovery.”

Zhou Can didn’t spell it out in front of the female patient.

What he actually worried about was the possibility of her man coming to the hospital and committing domestic violence again.

Placing her in a bed that nurses could monitor at any time would be safer for her.

“We nurses don’t have the authority to arrange beds; you have to talk to the attending physician,” the female nurse hinted Zhou Can with a wink, indicating she understood his intentions.

However, she was powerless in this matter.

Bed spaces are actually a scarce resource.

Usually, only the attending physician on duty or managing the ward can arrange it.

Resident doctors, general training students, interns, and the like do not have this authority.

Similarly, nurses do not have this power.

Zhou Can decided to first send the female patient back to bed 27 and then find an opportunity to discuss the matter with Dr. Zou.

The female patient’s companion was an elderly lady with white hair.

The two had quite a similar appearance.

This companion, an old lady, was most likely the patient’s mother.

The old woman, looking at her daughter with a head wrapped in white gauze, had tears in her eyes.

“Doctor, how is my daughter’s condition?”

The old lady asked.

“The surgery was very successful; the fractured skull has been properly realigned. However, she has multiple soft tissue contusions on her body and must be cared for attentively to avoid any more falls.”

Zhou Can felt particularly sympathetic towards this mother and daughter, but there was little he could help with.

He could only do his best to inform them of the precautions.

He didn’t even outright say that the woman’s injuries were not from falls, but from being beaten.

After sending the woman back to her bed and settling her in,

He had to hand over to the on-duty doctor!

Turning his head, Zhou Can saw Jiang Xiaohua coming over.

“Dr. Zhou, I heard you have gained Director Wen’s favor and have been directly transferred to his group. Congratulations!”

Jiang Xiaohua had a good relationship with Zhou Can.

She greeted him warmly with a smile as soon as she saw him.

“What’s there to congratulate about, I’m not as free as you are!”

Zhou Can said this casually.

Being appreciated by a chief physician is indeed a great fortune that countless general training students dream of.

“I wish I were at ease; I’m practically dying. I’ve been on the day shift all day, and Doctor Cheng arranged for me to be on duty tonight, such a hard life!”

Jiang Xiaohua complained bitterly.

Bullying the newcomer is more or less the same everywhere.

Now as the only general training student under Cheng Gang, Jiang Xiaohua was naturally getting squeezed to the limit.

The drudgery and the exhausting tasks were all assigned to her.

“What can you do as a wife-in-training becoming the mother-in-law; just endure it slowly. By the way, I need to hand over this patient to you, she just completed surgery for skull fracture…”

Zhou Can explained the patient’s general condition and post-operative care requirements.

As for the medical orders issued by Dr. Zou, the on-duty doctors and nurses can view them in the computer.

After finishing the handover, Zhou Can had nothing else to deal with and prepared to get off work.

Passing by the third ward, he heard a loud scolding coming from inside.

Was it a fight between family members or what?

Curious, Zhou Can peered inside.

“Damn, how could it be Jin Mingxi?”

He saw a young doctor in his late twenties scolding Jin Mingxi inexorably, pointing at Jin Mingxi’s nose.

“How did you even qualify to be a general training student? The patient has a high fever of 39.2 degrees, and you can’t handle such a trivial matter?”

This doctor was several years younger than Jin Mingxi, but he showed no mercy in scolding Jin Mingxi in front of patients and their families, not sparing any face.

Usually, when senior doctors scold junior doctors, they are particularly careful in front of patients and family members not to harm the dignity of the doctors involved.

Even if there are serious mistakes, they would normally call them to the office to scold them there.

“I was about to issue a medical order for Lysine Acetylsalicylate 0.9g IV drip. I just couldn’t decide, so I was about to seek your advice before making a decision.” Jin Mingxi was scolded like this yet still had to explain himself with respectful obedience.

He probably worried about angering the senior physician and inviting more trouble.

He had taken the exams for many years to become a general training student at Tuya Hospital. If he were to completely offend a senior physician, the resulting torment could make him question his life choices.
