Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 42 Amway Member Duan Qilin (Please collect and read)

September 9th was originally Sunday.

The functional skills training room 308 of Hengda Affiliated High School is quite lively.

When Zhou Yanqing arrived, he saw that most of his familiar faces in the department were there, including five people with senior professional titles in the hospital alone.

The ward director Dong Congyue, deputy chief physician Zheng Zicong from Director Dong’s group, his master Gong Yi, as well as deputy chief physician Tao Yubin and deputy chief physician Liang Hai from Director Han’s group.

Five people surrounded a middle-aged man who was almost completely bald, thin but with a broad face. They smiled and praised Duan Qilin who was performing muscle suture...

Dr. Zhu Qin, who came out of Xiangya Hospital, hung his head, stood at attention with his hands, slightly raised on tiptoes, and watched Duan Qilin's operation with a flushed face.

Zhou Yanqing tiptoed in from the door without attracting anyone's attention until he reached the side of his master Gong Yi and called out "Master" in a low voice, which attracted the glances of several other people.

Then Dong Congyue turned his gaze to Duan Qilin who was suturing the pig's trotter tendon. His lower body collapsed and he said in a bleak tone: "Professor Tan, under your guidance, Duan has done a satisfactory job in suturing with the modified M-Tang method."

"I'm really afraid that if I bring Xiao Duan with me, I'll be labeled as someone who misleads young people!~"

The desolate look in Dong Congyue's expression seemed to perfectly interpret the saying "a good teacher produces good students" for a moment.

The middle-aged man named Professor Tan did not reply, but continued to look at Duan Qilin. After Duan Qilin finished stitching another tendon, he continued, "The method of tendon suturing is to practice more, first imitate its form, then understand its meaning."

"Tang suture and Kessler suture are both forms of tendon suture. Their essence is to improve the tensile strength of the tendon after suture and reduce the scar at the stump."

"Focusing on this main thread, and then rethinking the most basic principle of tang suture, to the six-strand braiding of M-tang suture, and then to the improved M-tang suture, you will understand why such an improvement can be made."

"There are only two essential purposes for surgical procedure improvement: one is to improve the quality of surgery. The other is to reduce the difficulty of operation without reducing the quality of surgery."

“When you have both, that’s the essence of the direction of surgical improvement.”

Professor Tan's teachings not only made Duan Qilin listen carefully, but also made Dong Congyue, Gong Yi and others nod their heads frequently.

"Professor Tan, do you think there are better ways to improve this tendon suture technique?" Dong Congyue took the opportunity to ask.

"Learn first. Once you have learned well and understood the principles and essence of the operation, you can talk about subsequent improvements."

"If the Tang method of tendon suturing is used well, the quality of tendon suturing in the no-man's land area can satisfy most patients. If the modified M-tang method of tendon suturing is used well, it will be enough for surgery for a lifetime."

"Instead of wasting time seeking improvements on relatively mature surgical procedures, it is better to spend more time researching breakthroughs in the treatment of other diseases." Professor Tan's tone was calm. He glanced at Dong Congyue while speaking, and did not directly say anything like "take off your pants to fart."

"Thank you, Teacher Tan, for your guidance." Duan Qilin finished the suturing and said, "Teacher Tan, the junior brother who just came is the junior brother Zhou Yanqing I mentioned to you."

"I……"

Professor Tan took the initiative to interrupt Duan Qilin and said, "We can talk about other things some other time. Just finish your sewing first."

As he said this, he glanced at Zhou Yanqing and blinked his eyelids for a while. His eyes showed no joy or anger, and his expression was flat.

Professor Tan is Zhu Qin's direct mentor. Zhu Qin has followed Professor Tan for six years and understood his teacher's thoughts in an instant.

He was a man of few words, and said hesitantly, "Master, Yan Qing is quite good, but his scientific research experience is a little shallow."

"But his clinical experience and clinical talent are worth your time and guidance." Zhu Qin saw that Professor Tan did not take Zhou Yanqing seriously, so he helped cautiously.

When Zhu Qin first came to Hengda Affiliated High School, he just smiled and said nothing when he heard people say that Zhou Yanqing was quite outstanding, let alone his own teacher, Professor Tan?
Professor Tan has held conferences all over the country and has met so many young geniuses.

This time, Professor Tan came to Hengda First Affiliated Hospital not specifically for Duan Qilin, but invited him here on his own initiative. He just happened to think of Duan Qilin, so he called him over.

Duan Qilin's clinical talent is indeed good, but to say that Professor Tan treats him as his favorite disciple and treasures him very much is to underestimate the professor's vision.

Zhu Qin's recommendation really had some effect: "Okay, young man, since you are here, why not practice with him too..."

Upon hearing this, Gong Yi immediately began to make arrangements: "Zheng Zicong, Tao Yubin, the two of you go prepare the suture practice materials."

After seeing Gong Yi's right eye blink three times quickly, Zhou Yanqing bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Teacher Tan, for your guidance."

"What basic skills have you practiced in the skill training room? Have you practiced the core operations of hand surgery?" Professor Tan's tone turned kind, as if an elder was chatting with a junior.

Zhou Yanqing nodded: "Teacher Tan, incision and suturing are basic skills that all teachers in the department attach great importance to. In addition to warding tasks and writing articles, they are also practiced daily."

Tao Yubin thought for a moment, and before leaving the operating room, he asked cautiously, "Yanqing, what materials do you want to prepare?"

Zhou Yanqing immediately turned around and whispered, "For suturing, we'll use skin jelly, a stretch cuff, and a water-floating foam board."

"For incision, please prepare tofu. Thank you, Mr. Tao..."

Zhou Yanqing's voice was low and calm, and his emotions remained very stable.

Zhou Yanqing's calmness and the content of his speech finally attracted Professor Tan's attention, and he kept looking at Zhou Yanqing from head to toe.

The suturing technique for the special channel of the Hand Surgery Department of Xiangya Hospital requires suturing the stretched compression cuff, but Zhou Yanqing asked Tao Yubin to prepare a water-floating foam board.

The water-bleached foam board is the next training material after the stretch cuff suture. It is the preliminary preparation for vascular suture cooperation and is higher than the "suturing bottom line" of the professional doctoral channel of Xiangya Hospital.

The key point is that when Zhou Yanqing spoke, he did not show any resentment, but just spoke in a normal and straightforward manner, without even looking at Tan Zhongyu.

This is quite interesting.

After Tan Zhongyu scratched Zhou Yanqing several times, he said, "If you aim too high, you will easily fail, right?"

Gong Yi even gently kicked Zhou Yanqing's heels a few times.

Zhou Yanqing nodded, a smile appeared on his face and he said: "Teacher Tan, I have failed many times. If I fail again this time, if you can take the trouble to give me some guidance, maybe I will succeed next time."

Upon hearing this, Tan Zhongyu gave a thumbs up and thought Zhou Yanqing was particularly interesting: "I hope you are telling the truth."

But in the eyes of Gong Yi and Dong Congyue, every word Zhou Yanqing said was full of bitterness.

Children from poor families have to grow up early. Zhou Yanqing's current emotional stability is due to his understanding and corresponding experience.

It’s so difficult for children from ordinary families.
