I just became an intern doctor, and the system says I'm a disciple of Mount Shu.

The next day, at 7:30 in the morning!

Cao Wu walked out of the office, his hands behind his back, his back straight, and slowly walked towards the ward area.

Soon, the doctors who had gone into the operating room the day before followed behind him.

Hospital rounds usually begin at 7:00 AM.

From 7:00 to 7:30, resident physicians and interns will make a round of the wards.

From 7:30 to 8:20, the head doctor makes his rounds.

The meeting ended at 8:20, and the doctors officially started work at 8:30.

If it is a holiday, the ward rounds will be delayed by half an hour and will be more brief.

After Cao Wu entered the ward, he exuded an aura of power.

He surveyed his territory like a king.

The doctors behind him were his subjects, following him with serious expressions.

After checking each ward, they soon arrived at the ward of the patient who had undergone colon cancer surgery the day before.

The interns following behind him began to feel uneasy.

Students are most afraid of being asked questions by teachers.

Although they are all top students, it depends on who asks the questions.

As the head of a department in a top-tier hospital, Cao Wu's questions are difficult even for top students to answer.

Moreover, Cao Wu often asked difficult questions.

He especially liked to ask difficult questions, particularly when he performed surgeries himself.

Therefore, many interns are afraid to make rounds with him.

When Cao Wu came in, the patient's parents looked at him warmly.

The patient lying in bed also looked at Cao Wu.

This is a beautiful woman in her twenties.

She had just undergone major surgery and looked very haggard, with bluish-purple lips and a pale face.

But it's clear that she must have been very beautiful when she was in good health.

After entering the ward, Cao Wu first inquired about the patient's health, and then began asking the intern questions.

What should be considered when D-dimer levels are high?

"You answer!"

He turned around and casually pointed to an intern.

This is a basic question, but it's also quite tricky.

The intern was startled, his mind racing: "Postoperative stress and trauma can both cause elevated levels. A significant increase could indicate deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities, pulmonary embolism, or intra-abdominal hematoma."

"What comes to mind when abdominal bloating worsens and drainage suddenly decreases?"

"You answer this," he said, pointing to another intern.

This question is more difficult than the previous one.

Sure enough, the intern hesitated for a long time before stammering, "The drainage tube... is twisted, there's fluid buildup in the abdominal cavity..."

Cao Wu shook his head and pointed to another intern: "You answer."

"The drainage tube is twisted and displaced..."

"No." Cao Wu shook his head, then pointed to Ding Heng: "You answer."

Ding Heng said: "The drainage tube is blocked, twisted, or displaced, leading to the accumulation of fluid and pus in the abdominal cavity."

Cao Wu nodded: "This time it's right."

Ding Heng glanced disdainfully at the two interns who hadn't answered the question, then glanced at Zhuo Zhuo.

It's as if to say, "Let's see how you answer the director's difficult question."

Cao Wu asked, "Which groups of lymph nodes are cleaned in the left and right hemicolon?"

"Zhuo Zhuo, you answer."

This question pertains to the details of the surgery and is even more difficult than the question Ding Heng answered.

It was extremely difficult for all the doctors present.

If you don't fully understand the surgery, you can't answer this question.

After all, it was a Level 4 surgery, and no intern could understand it all.

Ding Heng sneered inwardly: "Even I can't answer this question, so you certainly can't."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhuo Zhuo replied without hesitation: "Right colon, clear the ileum, right colon, and lymph nodes around the blood vessels in the colon."

"Left colon, clear the left colon, sigmoid colon, and upper rectal lymph nodes."

Zhuo Zhuo would have a hard time answering questions about pre- and post-operative care.

But Zhuo Zhuo was able to answer any questions that arose during the procedure.

Who let him watch the surgery with the help of the Enlightenment Pill, and have all the information from the surgery fed into his mind?

In addition, after the surgery, he researched a lot of information and absorbed the knowledge he gained.

He now understands about 90% of what Cao Wu did during yesterday's surgery.

Everyone was stunned by Zhuo Zhuo's answer.

Then they thought to themselves, "We answered incorrectly!"

Cao Wu glanced at Zhuo Zhuo in surprise, then nodded and smiled, "Correct answer."

Everyone was surprised; the answer was correct?

Did he fully understand yesterday's surgery?

How is that possible?

Even if they didn't fully understand the surgery, did Zhuo Zhuo understand it?

Ding Heng gritted his teeth inwardly: "It must be a guess, yes, it must be a guess."

He was unconvinced and didn't believe that Zhuo Zhuo could fully understand yesterday's surgery.

Even he didn't fully understand it, so how could Zhuo Zhuo possibly understand it completely?

Cao Wu looked at Zhuo Zhuo in amazement. How did Zhuo Zhuo learn it?

He also teaches at Huachuan Medical College. Why are his students not as outstanding as Zhuo Zhuo when they rotate through the college?

"Zhuo Zhuo, are you a student at Huachuan Medical College?"

"Ah..." Zhuo Zhuo nodded blankly, "Yes!"

Cao Wu felt like he was going crazy. How could he ask such an idiotic question? He had seen Zhuo Zhuo's information, which clearly stated that he was a sixth-year student in the eight-year program at Huachuan Medical College.

"Sigh..." Cao Wu sighed inwardly, "Perhaps he's too outstanding, making me doubt that he's a student at Huachuan Medical College!"

After saying that, Cao Wu continued to ask the question he had wanted to ask yesterday.

"Zhuo Zhuo, I noticed you used PDS-II sutures when you closed your abdomen yesterday. Why is that?"

"You should know that PDS-II is an absorbable suture. Once the suture is absorbed, the anterior sheath will open, which can easily lead to an incisional hernia."

The doctors present all turned to look at Zhuo Zhuo in surprise.

Incisional hernia is a very common complication after colon cancer surgery.

If an incisional hernia develops, the patient may experience localized abdominal pain in mild cases, or even intestinal necrosis and life-threatening complications in severe cases.

Ding Heng was secretly delighted: "He's made a fatal mistake."

"If the family makes a scene now, even Director Cao won't be able to protect him."

But he never considered why Cao Wu didn't stop Zhuo Zhuo from using PDS-II sutures at the time.

Upon hearing this, the patient's parents immediately panicked, and the patient also became terrified.

The patient's parents then looked angrily at Zhuo Zhuo: "Why did you let him have the surgery?"

They didn't care why the director had Zhuo Zhuo perform the surgery; they were only concerned that their daughter had developed an incisional hernia because of Zhuo Zhuo.

Cao Wu waved his hand, and when facing the family members, his expression was gentle as he smiled and said, "Don't worry, the patient is fine."

After calming the patient and their parents down, he looked at Zhuo Zhuo again: "Tell me, what were you thinking at the time?"

Zhuo Zhuo remained calm and said slowly, "The patient is a woman, probably in her early twenties."

"Look at the wound on her abdomen, it's fifteen centimeters long."

"A teenage girl with a long scar on her stomach."

"How is she supposed to face her future husband? She doesn't even dare to wear pretty clothes that show her midriff."

"I used PDS-II sutures to eliminate the scar on her abdomen while ensuring her health, so that she would no longer have these worries."

The woman lying on the bed looked at Zhuo Zhuo with shining eyes.

Zhuo Zhuo voiced her concerns: with the scar on her stomach, it would be difficult for her to wear pretty clothes that showed her belly button in the future.

She loves dressing up and doesn't want to be unable to wear crop tops.

"But what does this matter compared to her health?" Cao Wu said, "She can stop wearing clothes that show her belly button, and she can explain to her future husband that she has scars from surgery."

"Of course I know that," Zhuo Zhuo said, "but wouldn't it be better if we didn't have these troubles?"

"So, while ensuring her health, I also solved her problems." Zhuo Zhuo said confidently.

Cao Wu raised an eyebrow, intrigued, and asked, "Tell me, how did you do it?"

"I had several considerations when choosing PDS-II sutures."

"Patients of this age recover quickly."

"PDS-II is the slow-absorbing suture with the slowest absorption rate."

"The absorption time can take up to six to seven months."

"And its tensile strength can still retain 56% of its strength after 56 days."

"So, I took advantage of the time difference, allowing the sutures to be absorbed slowly as her wound healed, so that there would be no stitches on her abdomen."

"But how do you ensure that the wound heals and the sutures are absorbed without creating dead space or bloodstains, thus preventing incisional hernias?"

"I used strict layered suturing, a strong anterior sheath suture, and tension-free suturing to avoid damaging muscles and nerves during the suturing process."

"By suturing in this way, we can ensure that the wound heals and the sutures are absorbed without causing an incisional hernia."

Cao Wu looked at Zhuo Zhuo with new eyes, and Zhuo Zhuo once again refreshed his understanding.

Zhuo Zhuo is not only talented in medicine, but also has a kind and gentle heart.

A doctor's heart is benevolent, and a virtuous person's actions are benevolent!

This compassion is rare and few doctors possess it.

He looked at Zhuo Zhuo with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Not bad, you're very good!"

"We surgeons should not just be cold scalpels, but also warm-hearted healers."

He looked at all the doctors: "We must be compassionate doctors, so that every patient and their family can leave the hospital with a smile."

Everyone nodded slightly in agreement.

Only Ding Heng disagreed, based on his Western education.

Profit comes first!

Being a doctor is just a profession for earning a high salary.

All I need to do is cure the disease and get a large sum of medical fees from the patient.

As for warmth or temperature, he didn't care.

"Of course, I don't approve of you doing what Zhuo Zhuo did. Zhuo Zhuo's suturing skills are excellent. He is so skilled and daring that he dared to do it."

Cao Wu glared at the interns and said coldly, "But you can't do it. You don't have his superb suturing skills."

"You all better stick to the conservative approach for suturing. If any of you cause a medical accident, I'll skin you alive."

The interns: "..."

What happened to being a compassionate doctor?

Regardless of whether it's considered conservative or not, the patient's parents and the patient themselves only know that Zhuozhuo's abdominal closure solved a major problem for them.

They all looked at Zhuo Zhuo with gratitude.

The patient was grateful that she could wear pretty clothes that showed her belly button in the future.

The patient's parents were grateful, as their daughter was not yet married and the absence of a scar on her abdomen would not cause any misunderstandings.

"Thank you, doctor!" The patient's parents stepped forward and excitedly shook Zhuo Zhuo's hands.

Because you helped the human race eliminate the demon, you have received gratitude from the human race!

Humanity is the master of heaven and earth, the supreme among all races!

Those who make contributions to humanity will be rewarded by Heaven with a merit!

[Reward: One merit point!]
