My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 198 - 117: First Experience in Orthopedics, External Fracture Fixation Technique

Zhou Can checked the standardized training schedule, and the second department for standardized training was Orthopedics, lasting three months.

Orthopedics carries great weight in the field of surgery, ranging from thoracic and cranial procedures to the reattachment of a single finger, all of which rely on Orthopedics.

It is a compulsory course in surgery.

Zhou Can was full of expectations for this new department.

During the three months of standardized training in the Emergency Department, he mainly stayed in the operating room.

He learned surgical-related knowledge.

The surgical experience he gained in three months in the Emergency Department was even more than what others achieved in five years of work.

He has reached the intermediate attending level in several basic surgical skills.

With this ability entering the standardized training in Orthopedics, he expected to stand out quite quickly.

The next day, he and Jin Mingxi arrived early to register at the Orthopedics Department.

Both their second stops for the standardized training were in Orthopedics.

As they entered Orthopedics, they saw long queues at the clinic already formed. There were those in wheelchairs, with crutches, with arms in slings, and even patients lying on stretchers.

Most patients seeking treatment here suffered accidental injuries.

"Wow, the number of patients seeking treatment here is no less than in the Emergency Department!" Jin Mingxi exclaimed.

"Orthopedics and General Surgery should be the two busiest departments in surgery. Let's head to the doctors' office first."

Zhou Can looked at these patients, his eyes shining, seeing them all as Experience Points!

"Hello, may I ask who should the standardized trainee doctor report to?"

This time, Zhou Can did not ask the nurse for information.

Seeing a middle-aged male doctor in his forties passing by, he quickly approached to inquire.

"Which department are you guys from?"

"Emergency Department!"

"Follow me!"

"Thank you!"

Zhou Can remembered that the doctors in Orthopedics were generally quite aloof. This middle-aged male doctor was very approachable, wasn't he?

He was asked for directions and personally led them to register.

Along the way, doctors and nurses actively greeted the man, calling him Doctor Yang.

"Come on in! Take a form each and sign up."

Doctor Yang led the two into a fairly spacious office.

At this moment, several young doctors were already filling out forms similar to theirs.

"Xiao He, how many people has the hospital arranged for Orthopedics standardized training this time?" Doctor Yang asked the young doctor who was handling the forms in the office.

"From all departments combined, there are thirteen people, plus the five recruited specifically by us, making a total of eighteen standardized trainee doctors."

Standardized trainees are generally coordinated by the hospital to arrange their training departments.

For example, as Zhou Can and others rotate from the Emergency Department to Orthopedics, other departments' trainees would be transferred into the Emergency Department.

Only in this way can the stable operation of the entire hospital be ensured.

"That's quite a number of people! But that's also a good thing; having one more person to work can lighten everyone's load." Doctor Yang sat in the main seat of the office.

It seemed these resident doctors were under his management.

Zhou Can had wondered why the doctors in Orthopedics had become so friendly? It turns out he had asked the right person.

While they were filling out their forms, people continued to arrive for registration.

"Hurry up and complete the forms. For your skills, just write one or two that you consider to be your strongest. If you really don't know what to write, just write down your previous department."

Doctor Yang checked the time on his wristwatch, possibly thinking that these trainees were dilly-dallying too much, and so he urged them to hurry.

Zhou Can had already finished his form.

In the skills section, he wrote suturing and ligation.

Because these two basic surgical skills had the highest Experience Points and were almost reaching the advanced attending level.

Soon, all eighteen trainees had completed their forms.

"Let me introduce myself, my last name is Yang, and I am responsible for your initial arrangement and the overall management of the standard training period in Orthopedics. First of all, on behalf of Orthopedics, I welcome your arrival," Doctor Yang scanned the eighteen people.

"Since the restructuring, Tu Ya has implemented a merit-based system, where the competent rise, and the incompetent fall, a mechanism of survival of the fittest. I don't care which department you come from or what background you have; the competition for training opportunities will be fair for everyone."

This was a preemptive warning.

It was to reign in the pride of those from significant departments and cut off any wishful thinking from those with connections.

Not to rely on pulling strings or giving gifts.

Clinical departments have always been a place where those with connections falter.

If someone doesn't possess real skills, even if they are the child of the dean, no doctor would dare let them operate on a patient.

What if a mistake during an operation leaves the patient incapacitated?

In case of an incident, the dean wouldn't be grateful but would rather wish he could smite that senior doctor. Are you trying to kill my child? Knowing his surgical skills are weak, yet you still let him perform the operation.

"Let me talk about the department's needs for standardized trainees. The operating room has two 100,000-level operation rooms needing the assistance of six trainees. The outpatient department's manual reduction room needs one person. The more, the better for our inpatient department."

A fool would know that being a trainee in the operating room is definitely the best.

Outpatient manual reduction is not bad either.

The worst is being a trainee in the inpatient department, with lots of work and exhaustion, and it's easy to be scolded by patients' families. It's enough to exhaust someone with various tasks such as bed management, duty shifts, writing case reports, and doing miscellaneous chores.

"Of course, you don't need to worry too much. The hospital's standardized training for you will be comprehensive. It's not that if you are assigned to the inpatient department, you won't have the opportunity to enter the operating room for learning. It's just that the focus of learning varies."

Seeing everyone's nervous expressions, Doctor Yang gently smiled and comforted everyone.

Since he was appointed to manage the standardized trainees in Orthopedics, he naturally possessed strong management and coordination skills.
