Chapter 3, Simulate Again

If one has to go grocery shopping after work, not only does it take a long time, but cooking alone is truly challenging. One might accidentally prepare too much, leading to irregular meals and spoilage, which ultimately results in waste and does not save much on costs.

Knock knock knock

Zhou Cheng rents an apartment in an old residential complex with a low number of floors, totaling seven stories. Zhou Cheng resides on the third floor, while the landlord lives on the fourth floor. Initially, the landlord purchased two units in this complex, one for personal residence and the other for the landlord's parents.

Is one's only destination the town hospital

Fifteen days post-surgery, your patient has been discharged. The alignment of the fracture ends is satisfactory, and there is already a small amount of callus formation. The patient is able to walk on the ground with partial weight-bearing.

During the surgical procedure, you began to feel at a loss.

Overall rating: Average

You were unable to obtain the qualification for staying in the hospital, but you became a labor dispatch personnel and continued to work at the unit.

Zhou Cheng was unwilling to explain too much to the landlord, attempting to break the mindset of two generations, so he simply provided a reason that was convenient for him.

Skill: Open reduction and internal fixation with plate and screws for fractures (General)

I will go see them in a couple of days

The landlord is a sixty-year-old retired lady who lives with her elderly partner. Occasionally, she invites Zhou Cheng over for a meal. She is a very warm-hearted person, often bringing things up for others when she is passing by. It is likely that today she saw the delivery person climbing up and decided to bring the delivery along, coincidentally bringing Zhou Cheng's order.

Your learning progress is slow

Hiss

This feeling is as if I could go on stage right now to perform an open reduction and internal fixation for a fracture

Currently, the total number of skills and memories is only three, of course, the more you have, the better it is

You have lost the trust of your supervising physician. Gradually, you are losing opportunities for surgery, and your supervising physician is beginning to turn to mentor other students. You are starting to become merely a machine for managing patients

In the third month, you entered the operating room, took the position of the primary surgeon, and performed surgery on the patient, while your supervising physician acted as your first assistant

Thank you, Grandma Lu. I worked a twenty-four-hour shift yesterday and only returned around five in the afternoon, so I didn't have time to cook for myself

Although it is not yet time to pay the rent, every time Grandma Lu precisely calls Zhou Cheng to come over for a meal or to bring him something, Zhou Cheng has also become accustomed to Grandma Lu's rather unique method of urging for rent payment

This

Staying in the hospital at least means being employed by the hospital, signing a labor contract with the hospital. Labor dispatch involves a third party, which can lead to further exploitation by that third party. Therefore, staying in the hospital is certainly a better option.

Meanwhile, although the copy of the simulator was in a cooling state, a notification was received.

On the twentieth day, you independently performed the removal of the internal fixation device after the first fracture surgery. Your supervising physician observed the entire process and deemed you a promising talent. They began to teach you some tips and tricks for fracture reduction and internal fixation with great care.

Grandma Lu handed the takeout to Zhou Cheng and sighed, "You doctors really have a tough job. My daughter is a nurse, and she also works hard. She often has no time to eat at home because of her shifts, and I don't even know what my two grandsons are eating."

You have treated many patients with fractures

Zhou Cheng found that he simply could not concentrate on reading; at most, he could last no more than ten minutes before being defeated by the dull and tedious A4 paper stack, which was as thick as two thousand pages.

Skill: Open reduction and internal fixation with plate and screws for simple fractures (Beginner)

You ultimately chose to leave the current hospital and returned to the town hospital for retirement

Obtain simple fracture open reduction plate screw internal fixation (Beginner): Skills can be analyzed, and the skills will not disappear after analysis. Do you want to analyze?

No!

Once you come into contact with something new, there is no more fun to be had

How intense will the competition be at that time

Select skills to retain

Can only go for labor dispatching

The township hospital you are in has already revoked its qualifications for performing fracture surgeries. You are beginning to forget that you used to be capable of performing surgeries...

Later, the parents passed away, and the son and daughter moved out, so it was rented to Zhou Cheng for a very low price, only 1,200 for a two-bedroom apartment per month

Still select all, Zhou Cheng thought to himself

Then Zhou Cheng spent his time in various ways

Fortunately, it is also the Eighth Hospital of Shashi located in the Star District; if it were in the Inner Five Districts of Shashi, it would definitely not be achievable without at least 1,500 to 1,600.

Your supervising physician believes you have great potential, which is why they have encouraged you to begin studying the surgical procedure for open reduction and internal fixation of complex fractures using plates and screws

However, after choosing to retain his skills, Zhou Cheng's mind became filled with additional thoughts, and they also became more traceable.

In fact, you are eager to take a chance for the opportunity to stay in the hospital, but you know that you cannot easily attempt to perform surgery, joking around with the patient, so you decide to bide your time.

Perhaps this is the reason why it is my own dish

Forget it, it's just a simulation, and I still have many opportunities for simulations ahead

Simulation ended

Zhou Cheng watched Grandma Lu go upstairs before closing the door, and then he transferred the rent for the next three months to the landlord via WeChat.

Behold my overwhelming power in battle

With a solid foundation in anatomy and a basic proficiency in the removal of internal fixation devices, can one ultimately end up just getting by in a local hospital?

In this simulator, I have already mastered the open reduction and internal fixation of my fractures, yet is it still insufficient to qualify for hospital retention?

The sound of knocking has been heard, it should be the delivery arriving

Memory: Debridement and Suturing (Intermediate)

After much difficulty, I finally made it to 00:00, and the cooldown time for the simulator's copy has been refreshed

Zhou Cheng looked at the information displayed on the screen, feeling almost intoxicated, what should I do

Zhou Cheng became frustrated, questioning whether his own aptitude was truly that poor

Upon opening the door, I found the landlord standing at the entrance holding takeout, and he said: "Xiao Zhou, you ordered takeout again. I brought it up for you since I was passing by."

Your solid foundation in anatomy has earned you the recognition of the senior physician

This time it should be successful, and the internal fixation will be removed after twenty days

Whether it is clean or not is another matter, but it is indeed convenient and quick

The postoperative review results of your patient after three months are all good, with no occurrences of nonunion of fracture ends or similar issues

Please select the starting skills or materials you wish to carry

Am I really not suited to be a surgeon?

Although takeout has long been popular among the younger generation and in hospitals, both Grandma Lu and my parents' generation feel that eating takeout is not sufficiently clean

In the second year, your supervising physician allows you to perform surgery independently on patients with complex fractures

He left as soon as he spoke
