Chapter 738: Chapter 301: Happy Even When Scolded, Stubborn Family Comes Around
Regarding Director Zhang’s diagnostic thoughts and intentions, Zhou Can clearly understood as well.
The skill level of a Deputy Director in pathological diagnosis is already equivalent to many experts present.
"Director Zhang, do you mean to have the patient hospitalized, then restrict food and water, provide hydration, suppress acid, and decompress the gastrointestinal tract to try to control the patient’s vomiting and diarrhea symptoms, right?"
Zhou Can asked her, striving to ascertain whether his own diagnostic ability had truly risen to the Deputy Director level.
"Exactly right!"
Director Zhang nodded in satisfaction, delighted to see her junior colleague growing rapidly and grasping her intentions.
"Do you know why symptomatic treatment is necessary to control the patient’s primary symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting?"
Director Zhang aimed to further test Zhou Can’s diagnostic thinking.
Many novice doctors, seeing senior doctors ordering various tests or conducting experiments on patients, do not understand why the senior doctors are doing so.
Because their diagnostic levels are not on par with those of the senior doctors, they simply cannot grasp the deeper rationale.
It’s like playing chess, where one seems to be placing pieces randomly here and there, but due to a lack of skill, you have no idea what formation the opponent is setting up.
Only when the opponent reveals their killing intent and tightens the net do you appreciate the brilliance of their strategy.
Zhou Can is just a resident doctor, and it’s somewhat overly demanding for Director Zhang to expect him to reach the same level as a Director.
In the past, Zhou Can would have struggled to provide a satisfactory answer.
Now, his pathology diagnostic ability is also at the Director level, although still at the Deputy level, that is officially at the Director Level of medical expertise.
Both associate senior titles and senior titles are high-level professional ranks.
It represents a classification of professional competence.
Zhou Can pondered for a moment, then calmly said, "Your diagnostic approach appears somewhat akin to ’mixing pearls with fish eyes.’"
Describing the negative term ’mixing pearls with fish eyes’, Zhou Can’s use of this term to describe Director Zhang Bihua’s diagnostic approach, isn’t this a roundabout way of criticizing her?
Standing behind Director Zhang, Yang Chan and Ji You, who was next to Zhou Can, both felt anxious for Zhou Can.
The day before yesterday, Du Leng publicly criticized Director Zhang, and as a result, was harshly rebuked.
He is still benched till now.
Dr. Zhou is usually a very astute person, but why did he criticize Director Zhang today? Isn’t this asking for trouble?
Just when they thought Director Zhang Bihua would reprimand Zhou Can coldly, unexpectedly, a smile of delight appeared on Zhang Bihua’s face.
Criticized by Zhou Can, yet still smiling so joyfully?
Yang Chan was completely puzzled, wondering what was happening today? Zhou Can, with high emotional intelligence, openly criticized Director Zhang, yet the latter seemed to enjoy it, showing a happy smile.
Absolutely surreal.
"The term ’mixing pearls with fish eyes’ is very vivid; continue!"
Director Zhang merely smiled, seeming not joyful enough to express her inner happiness. She complimented Zhou Can further, which then satisfied her.
"The patient has numerous symptoms, involving several organs and tissue systems. To force the real lesion to reveal itself, potential distractions that could mislead must be cleared away. By controlling the initial symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, other variations in symptoms can be observed to pinpoint the real cause."
Zhou Can explained based on his understanding.
Relatives and people like Yang Chan found it incredibly novel.
They had never seen such a method used to identify the cause of illness; these experts truly have various sophisticated techniques.
"That’s absolutely correct! Dr. Zhou, to have such a high level of diagnostic ability now, your future achievements will definitely surpass mine. I can’t even imagine what heights you will reach in the future."
Director Zhang couldn’t stop praising Zhou Can.
To become an outstanding young prestigious doctor requires diligence and talent, and a bit of luck and opportunity.
"Teacher, I still don’t quite understand; why is it called the ’mixing pearls with fish eyes’ diagnostic method?"
Yang Chan unconsciously touched her hair.
It’s said, ’long hair, short knowledge.’
Her hair wasn’t long either, just reaching her shoulders. After tying it in a ponytail, it didn’t even reach her shoulders.
However, her ponytail, looking capable and full of youthful energy, naturally exudes youthful vitality, presenting a spirited and vibrant beauty.
"The symptoms of the patient are numerous, with over a dozen forms making it very difficult to find the real cause. Because the real cause might be masked or concealed, like in a large basin full of pearls mixed with two fish eyes. To find the fish eyes by searching directly is very difficult. The brilliance of the pearls distracts the vision, making it challenging to spot the fish eyes mixed among them."
"At this time, to find the fish eyes, a different approach is needed. Don’t directly search for the fish eyes, but pick out the pearls instead. Once all the pearls are picked out, what remains will be the fish eyes. In reality, by removing some of the pearls, the fish eyes will automatically reveal themselves."
"Controlling the patient’s diarrhea and vomiting, the originally hidden cause will become prominent. Then, it will be much easier to identify the cause."
Director Zhang Bihua patiently taught her protégé.
She nurtured Yang Chan as if she was her own daughter, with almost meticulous care.
