59: Chapter 59: Gratitude Points Exceed 1000! Giveaway!
Long-ge gave an awkward smile.
"Dr. Lu, being a doctor is really a waste of your talent; you should have been a criminal investigator."
"I don't care what you do outside, but I'm telling you, your hand cannot be injured again during this period."
"Why?"
"The sutures from the wound on your tiger's mouth haven't been fully absorbed yet, and now you've opened another gash on the same hand. If it happens again, I can't guarantee your finger function will fully recover."
Long-ge's expression finally became a bit more serious.
"Then I'll be more careful."
"It's not about being 'more careful'; it's about not getting injured again this month. Can you do that?"
In front of Lu Chen, Long-ge didn't put on any of his big-shot airs; he was so well-behaved it felt surreal.
"Fine, Dr. Lu, you call the shots. I won't get injured this month."
"Mm."
Lu Chen finished writing the treatment slip.
Long-ge stood up and pushed the bag of fruit over again.
"You really won't take it?"
"Really won't."
"Then I'll leave it here. If you don't eat it, you can give it to the Nurses."
"Long-ge."
"Fine, fine, fine, I'll take it with me, I'll take it with me."
Long-ge walked out carrying the fruit bag and stopped for a moment when passing Shen Yu.
"Little Shen, your sister and Dr. Lu are quite a match."
Shen Xiaoning's face instantly turned red all the way to her neck.
"Long, Long-ge, don't talk nonsense!"
Shen Yu glanced at Long-ge but didn't respond.
Long-ge chuckled and left.
Shen Xiaoning was incredibly embarrassed.
"Brother, let's go."
Shen Yu didn't move.
He pulled a card out of his pocket.
"Dr. Lu, this is my private business card with my phone number on it."
Lu Chen took it and glanced at it.
The information on the card was very simple.
Shen Yu, a cell phone number, no company, no title.
It was excessively clean.
"If you need any help in the future, you can contact me," Shen Yu said.
"Thanks, Brother Shen, but I usually won't have any need for it."
"Keep it; you might need it one day."
After Shen Yu finished speaking, he turned to look at Shen Xiaoning.
"Let's go."
Shen Xiaoning was still standing there, looking at Lu Chen.
"Dr. Lu, I'll be going now."
"Mm, stay safe."
"Mm!"
Shen Xiaoning jogged to catch up with Shen Yu.
After the two walked out of the treatment area, Shen Yu said something in the hallway.
"That doctor is not bad."
Shen Xiaoning's eyes immediately lit up.
"Brother, you also think he's very good?"
"I'm talking about his skill and his character."
"That's also good!"
"Don't overthink it."
"I'm not overthinking it!"
Shen Yu glanced at her and didn't say anything more.
But the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
In the treatment area, Lu Chen tucked Shen Yu's business card into his white coat pocket.
Shen Yu's background was not simple.
He had noticed it last time at Guangfu Hospital.
Plus, the fact that Shen Xiaoning had secured a permanent position at a Grade 3A Hospital right after graduation.
There was a story behind these two siblings.
But those weren't things he needed to worry about.
He pulled his attention back to work.
There were still two patients waiting for Suturing in the treatment area.
...
By the time he finished the last suture, it was already six in the evening.
The Red Zone had entered the evening shift handover period.
Lu Chen returned to the Duty Room, finally having a complete period of rest.
He took out his phone and opened the system panel.
Today's experience settlement should be quite significant.
A cross-departmental, department-wide observation laparoscopic surgery—the weight of this was much heavier than a normal surgery.
He clicked on the system interface.
[Ding!]
[System detected host completed a cross-departmental Laparoscopic Appendectomy]
[Surgical Rating: S-Rank (Perfect operation, zero bleeding, no operational errors)]
[Triggered Special Bonus: Cross-departmental surgery extra experience reward ×2]
[Triggered Special Bonus: Perfect completion under department-wide observation, prestige experience extra ×1.5]
[Triggered Leapfrog Challenge Reward: Resident Physician as lead surgeon in a Grade 3A General Surgery Department with perfect completion, leapfrog experience ×3]
Lu Chen looked at this string of bonuses, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Two times, three times, and then one point five times.
The stacked numbers were quite substantial.
[Skill Experience Settling...]
[Laparoscopic Appendectomy (Master): Progress 78/100 → 89/100]
It jumped by 11 points at once.
This kind of increase was unimaginable under normal circumstances.
Skills at the Master level required a massive amount of experience for each point. Usually, a single surgery would only yield two to three points at most. Today, with all the bonuses stacked, it pushed forward by 11 points.
Only 11 points away from Perfect level.
[Suturing (Perfect): Progress 52/100 → 58/100]
Suturing increased by 6 points.
Purse-string suture was considered a high-difficulty operation within Suturing. Combined with the sutures he performed for Long-ge and several other patients today, the progress was quite stable.
[Basic Surgical Operations (Proficient): Progress 93/100 → 97/100]
Basic Surgical Operations increased by 4 points.
Only 3 points away from Master level.
After the next surgery, or a few more high-quality surgical procedures, he should be able to break through.
[Internal Medicine Diagnostics (Skilled): Progress 93/100 → 93/100]
Internal Medicine Diagnostics didn't move.
Today was mainly surgical operations; there were no new internal medicine cases.
This skill required a large number of internal medicine emergency cases to push forward. Emergency rescue cases in the Red Zone were the best material, but today his time was mainly spent on surgery.
[Manual Hemostasis (Master): Progress 42/100 → 42/100]
No movement.
[Basic Theory of Emergency Medicine (Skilled): Progress 0/100 → 0/100]
Having just broken through to the Skilled level, the progress reset to zero. It required a lot of theoretical study and practice to advance.
[Current Total gratitude points: 1035]
Lu Chen's gaze lingered on this number.
1035.
It had exceeded 1000.
This meant he could perform one lucky draw.
Today's surgery had given him a massive amount of gratitude points.
Successfully treating a patient who had been misdiagnosed for a week through a cross-departmental surgery, combined with the bonus from the General Surgery Department observation, the gratitude points contributed by the patient and their family were quite generous.
Plus the other cases he handled recently and Long-ge's Suturing.
Adding it all up, the gratitude points had unknowingly broken through one thousand.
Lu Chen looked at the number.
1035 points.
He could draw once.
After drawing, 35 points would remain.
He took a deep breath.
The last lucky draw was shortly after he first got the system, when he drew the Master level Laparoscopic Appendectomy skill.
That draw had changed his trajectory.
What would he draw this time?
Lu Chen didn't hesitate.
"System, use 1000 gratitude points to perform one lucky draw."
[Ding!]
[1000 gratitude points deducted]
[Current remaining gratitude points: 35]
[Starting lucky draw program...]
A rotating wheel of light appeared on the system interface.
White, green, blue, purple, gold.
The five colors flashed alternately on the wheel.
The wheel began to slow down.
Green.
Blue.
Purple.
Gold.
The wheel stopped.
Purple.
[Congratulations host, you have drawn a Purple Quality reward!]
[Reward content: Skill Book, Tracheal Intubation (Master)]
[Skill Description: Master level Tracheal Intubation covers all related operations including orotracheal intubation, nasotracheal intubation, and difficult airway management. Once learned, the host can quickly and accurately complete Tracheal intubation under various complex airway conditions, with a success rate far exceeding that of an average emergency physician.]
[Learn immediately?]
Lu Chen looked at the result.
Tracheal Intubation, Master level.
The practicality of this skill was extremely high.
Tracheal Intubation is one of the most core emergency rescue operations in the Emergency Department.
Cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, severe trauma, drug poisoning—for almost all critically ill patients requiring advanced life support, the first step is to establish an effective airway.
And Tracheal intubation is the core means of establishing an effective airway.
An average Resident Physician's success rate for Tracheal intubation is around seventy to eighty percent.
When encountering a difficult airway, the success rate drops off a cliff.
What did Master level Tracheal Intubation mean?
It meant that no matter the airway conditions, he could complete the intubation quickly and accurately.
Stiff necks, oral bleeding, maxillofacial trauma, short-necked obese patients.
Any tube that others couldn't get in, he could.
In the Red Zone, the value of this skill was immeasurable.
"Learn."
[Ding!]
[Skill Book in use...]
[A large amount of Tracheal intubation related knowledge and muscle memory is being written...]
