My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 63 - 57 The Fifth Advanced Medical Skill

"I finally understand why the interns at Tuya Hospital seem so unbelievably skilled! You reap what you sow. Your performance indeed reflects how dedicated Tuya's interns are! No wonder it took me six years of hard work to finally earn the qualification for Tuya's residency program. My competitors were not only seasoned medical practitioners but also a group of freakishly talented interns!"

After witnessing Zhou Can's surgical practice, Jin Mingxi gained a deeper understanding of Tuya Hospital.

Even the interns are so strong.

The skill level of the attending and chief physicians must be absolutely terrifying.

In such an environment full of strong contenders, it's even more conducive to his growth.

As long as he can survive, he will definitely be able to rapidly enhance his medical skills across the board.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they went back to their work.

Jin Mingxi continued to write his surgical summary, while Zhou Can simply recorded some key issues encountered during the surgery, such as mistakes made during vascular anastomosis and areas for improvement that could be made during the procedure.

He then briefly recorded the Scarless Suturing Method taught by Dr. Xu, using his own words and diagrams to explain it.

For now, he had just learned the technique.

To truly master this suturing skill, he still has a long way to go.

Even to practice, he would have to wait until his Suturing Skill was at the level of a resident doctor.

After completing the necessary surgical summaries, he took out the soybeans he bought and set up the molds to begin practicing the implantation technique.

These biomimetic molds were specifically designed for doctors to practice implantation techniques.

The path to the implantation site was filled with all sorts of inhuman obstacles.

Also, there were nearly forty implantation sites on the mold, with varying degrees of difficulty.

Facing the two most challenging implantation sites, even with a Level 3 implantation technique, Zhou Can felt his legs shaking and his heart trembling.

He estimated that at least a Level 4 implantation technique would be required to attempt those challenges.

He picked up the long-arm forceps commonly used in surgeries.

Implantation is challenging precisely because it often involves long-arm manipulation. Sometimes, the difficulty of the operation is imaginable when it relies solely on a guide wire for traction.

To practice implantation techniques, one usually starts with tweezers or a toothpick.

It is common to see doctors using two toothpicks to eat in the hospital cafeteria.

What they are practicing are the basic skills of surgical medicine.

Zhou Can's implantation technique had already reached the level of a resident doctor, so he no longer needed to practice with toothpicks or tweezers.

Instead, he was tackling the more challenging long-arm forceps.

Mastering this technique lays a solid foundation for future minimally invasive surgeries.

Instruments such as bone-cutting forceps, rotary scalpels, needle holders, and curettes used in minimally invasive surgeries all involve long-arm manipulation.

He gripped the long-arm forceps and picked up a bean from the bowl.

These were dry soybeans.

Hard in texture, and with a slippery surface.

The difficulty of grasping them was quite high.

After over ten attempts, he finally managed to successfully extract a bean.

The primary challenge was that the forceps had a length of almost thirty centimeters, which was especially hard to control. Coupled with the round and smooth beans, this caused multiple failures.

If he used toothpicks or shorter tweezers, Zhou Can was confident that he could securely grasp a bean on the first try.

[Congratulations, you have obtained the Grasping Technique! An Advanced Medical Skill that allows manipulation of surgical instruments such as forceps and tweezers to clamp and grasp objects or body tissues.]

Zhou Can looked at this new medical skill with excitement.

This was the fifth advanced medical skill he had acquired.

[Grasping Technique, Level 3, Current Experience Points 0/1000. Lower level of a resident doctor.]

Not bad, starting directly at Level 3.

This medical skill has a very broad application. Nearly all high-end surgeries require it.

It's an essential skill for advanced surgeries.

He carefully inserted the firmly grasped soybean into the first practice point of the biomimetic mold.

He succeeded on the first try!

[You've gained 0.001 Experience Points.]

Upon seeing such a small amount of experience points, Zhou Can's forehead creased with frustration.

By now, he had completely figured out the experience points system's pattern.

If the practice was too simple, it would issue such a trifling amount of experience points as a way to correct Zhou Can's 'laziness.'

The first five implantation points on the biomimetic mold indeed presented a very low difficulty.

Suitable for novices like interns to practice.

Now that he was at the level of a resident doctor, practicing implantation at only an intern's level was practically a competition of ineptitude. No wonder the system penalized him with such a minuscule amount of experience points.

He attempted another grasp.

A bit better than the first time, it only took eight tries to successfully grab a soybean.

[Grasping Technique Experience Points +0.1.]This time, he directly chose to place it into a medium-difficulty implantation point.

This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.

After considerable effort, he finally succeeded in placing it into the target slot.

[Implantation Technique Experience Points +0.1.]

He couldn't help but sigh deeply, earning that 0.1 implantation experience was truly not easy.

The beginning is always the hardest.

Hopefully, with more practice, efficiency will improve!

Each implantation point on this bionic mold actually simulates the real structure of the human body. For example, the seventh implantation point is a pathway that must be navigated during a gastroscopy. The fourteenth is akin to the structure of the left coronary artery.

He will almost certainly encounter them in future surgeries on patients.

In reality, the surgery would undoubtedly be more challenging than practicing on the mold.

Therefore, he must practice diligently now, so that he can handle the real surgery with ease when the time comes.

He repeated the exercises of grasping and implanting over and over.

Practice makes perfect.

Gradually, his movements became smoother, and his efficiency quietly improved.

The failure rate of using the long-arm clamp to grasp the soybean dropped from about 8 times to around 6, and the success rate of implantation neared 80%.

After nearly two hours of practice, his grasping experience had increased by 7.8, and his implantation experience by 6 points.

Compared to the experience gained from real surgeries, this was quite slow.

However, for such medical skills that are difficult to practice at this stage, gradually improving through day-to-day practice is also a good option.

Checking the time, he stopped both the grasping and implantation exercises.

There were still ten white mice beside him.

At 200 yuan each, he had spent a total of 2000 yuan—a sum he couldn't afford to waste.

These white mice were mainly used to practice the three medical skills of hemostasis, cutting, and separation.

As for suturing and ligation, there were plenty of opportunities to practice those daily in the operating room; there was no need to spend five times as much time on white mice.

After administering group anesthesia to the ten white mice, he casually grabbed one.

He placed it on its back on a wax table, secured its limbs, and began practicing the three medical skills.

Dissection!

[Cutting Experience Points +0.2.]

After successfully cutting open a surgical incision, blood immediately gushed out from several parts of the wound.

He quickly cauterized it with an electrosurgical knife.

[Hemostasis Experience Points +0.2.+0.2.+0.2...]

The speed of earning hemostasis experience points ranked first, with no other medical skill daring to claim second.

After cutting an opening in its abdomen for a surgical window, he used hooks to pull the wound apart, revealing the abdominal cavity for surgery. He then targeted the heap of intestines and began practicing the separation technique.

Under his control, the scalpel deftly separated the cecum from the colon.

[Separation Experience Points +0.2.]

His hand slipped, he failed to control the force properly and accidentally cut through the intestine.

The contents within the intestine sprayed out.

Frightened, he hurriedly performed ligation in a flustered manner.

Nevertheless, the excrement still contaminated the mouse's peritoneal cavity.

Thankfully, this was just a white mouse. If this had happened during an appendectomy on a patient, it was unimaginable. This would definitely be a serious medical incident.

Intestinal contamination with fecal matter in the peritoneal cavity has extremely serious consequences.

Because the contents of the bowel are highly irritating, they can cause the patient to dehydrate, develop a fever, and even go into toxic shock—potentially leading to the patient's death. Besides, the peritonitis and various complications that it could cause would be life-threatening.

After ligating the intestinal end, he finally managed to control the situation.

[Ligation Experience Points +0.2.]

Figuring that since the intestine was already cut and ligated, he might as well cut the end that connects to the rectum.

Knife in hand, he swiftly cut through the intestine of the white mouse.

This way, he could easily remove most of the intestines from the abdominal cavity for surgery.

[Cutting Experience Points +0.2.]

Zhou Can was a bit stunned.

He could also gain 0.2 cutting experience points for this?

It felt as though a bug in the experience point system had been discovered.
