Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 61: Master (Please collect and read)

After Zhou Yanqing entered the operating room, he found that it was only the abdominal wall that was injured, but the wound was a bit deep, damaging the muscles and tendon sheath.

But this big brother, whose name is not yet known, had to sew three stitches, but the three wounds could not be closed, so he went out to seek help.

The patient was still lying flat, with the wound on his abdomen, which he couldn't see directly. He didn't know what had happened.

When the young doctor saw the patient lift his head slightly, he explained, "Don't worry, I asked an assistant to come over. Your wound is a bit deep. It will be more convenient if two people can handle it."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanqing quickly washed and disinfected his hands, then put on a simple disposable sterile surgical gown and sterile gloves, and began to take over at the bedside.

To be honest, this thing is too simple.

Suturing is several times easier than stretching a cuff, and Zhou Yanqing really didn't find the operation difficult.

It took Zhou Yanqing about three or four minutes to sew up the two ends of the muscle. He also used hemostatic forceps to gently pull the two sides, raised his head and asked the young doctor softly, "Is this OK?"

The young doctor did not respond for a moment. His eye sockets were wide open and his black eyeballs were fixed on the center of his pupils. It seemed that all the muscles controlling the eyeballs were paralyzed, so that there was no reaction at all.

"That's how you suture it!" Zhou Yanqing said in affirmation, then he began to take off his gloves and stepped back.

What's wrong with that?

The other party came to his senses when he saw Zhou Yanqing had retreated several steps. He then bowed slightly and used his right thumb to express his gratitude.

Zhou Yanqing didn't suspect anything and turned around and left.

This kind of stitching is just like completing a daily task.

Zhou Yanqing's new daily task is to [complete 50 debridements and suture 100 muscles or tendons]. The number of tasks required is large and the situation is complicated, so he can only work slowly.

Therefore, Zhou Yanqing turned his attention to obtaining the medal for knot-tying technique 100,000 times.

……

After leaving the house, the people outside also asked Zhou Yanqing what happened inside. Zhou Yanqing just said: "Oh, the hole inside is difficult to sew. I can't solve it alone. Call me for help."

"Originally, they mistook me for an intern and asked me to go to the department to call people."

The young patient Mao Mao seemed to be no outsider. He tilted his head slightly and said, "What he wants to call is professor. Professor is at least associate professor. The associate professors in Xiangya Hospital are 100% qualified for the title of deputy chief physician."

"Is there some unsolvable problem?"

After Mao Mao said this, Zhou Yanqing immediately took it seriously.

Many people know that professors are great, but those who know the details that associate professors are 100% qualified for the title of associate chief physician at least have some understanding of medicine.

"How is that possible? You're overthinking." Zhou Yanqing decisively rejected the other party's gossiping mentality.

Zhou Yanqing doesn't get any pleasure from stepping on others or gossiping about other people's embarrassing things, unless they are good friends, then Zhou Yanqing doesn't mind gossiping about them.

Ten minutes later, the doors of the other four operating rooms had not been opened.

Just when Mr. and Mrs. Mao Mao could hardly wait any longer, the door of Clinic No. 3 opened, and the young man in the white coat walked out with the patient.

The young doctor supported me while saying, "Avoid strenuous exercise. You have a superficial injury to your abdominal wall. This is the treatment model in our hospital. After cleaning and suturing, you can go home and recuperate. We can't have you hospitalized."

"If you really need antibiotics to fight infection, there are indications, but you can only sit in the emergency observation ward to get the injection, and there are not even beds available."

"You can choose for yourself." After the young doctor finished speaking, he said to Zhou Yanqing, "Brother, I have put the debridement and suture kit aside. Please go in..."

"Well, it's done." Zhou Yanqing led the Mao Mao couple into the house. After entering the house, he asked the young man's wife to help pour the complex iodine, and put the lidocaine ampoule and 10ml saline solution side by side before letting her go out and wait.

In theory, an assistant is needed for debridement and suture, but since the emergency department cannot spare anyone, the family members can only help partly.

After instructing Mao Mao to lie down and put his hands straight, Zhou Yanqing said: "Now start the rinse. There will be no anesthesia during the rinse, so it may be a little painful, just bear with it for a while..."

As Zhou Yanqing was speaking, the young doctor who had helped the patient out of the house came in again and offered to help very proactively.

While holding the patient's hand, he looked up and asked, "Brother, I am Yue Li Zhong, the chief resident of the general surgery department. Are you the new chief resident of the hand surgery department?"

Yue Li Zhong, a very easy to understand name, it is the surnames of the parents plus a single word.

"I'm the assistant resident chief of hand surgery." Zhou Yanqing replied cautiously. This was also what Ning Zhu taught him.

Zhou Yanqing certainly couldn't just say that he was the chief resident, but he couldn't just say "master's degree" either. He could get away with it by using a minor title like "assistant chief resident".

Yue Li Zhong has a broad face, and the mask can hardly cover his protruding cheekbones. His chin is very short, and the bottom edge of the mask almost covers his Adam's apple.

At this moment, he swallowed a few times and blinked his eyes: "That's pretty impressive."

Yue Lizhong came to his senses at this moment. It turned out that TN was a doctoral student. The doctoral student of hand surgery educated himself...

However, what Yue Lizhong did not expect was that the education stage had just begun.

After disinfection, Zhou Yanqing quickly performed local anesthesia. After seeing clearly that the patient's injured parts were the index, middle and ring fingers, he laid a towel without any pause and began to sew.

The patient's wound was a regular sharp injury, with no foreign matter, no necrotic tissue, and no damaged blood vessels.

Even the tendon was only half-thickness damaged.

However, Zhou Yanqing's suturing speed was beyond Yue Lizhong's expectations.

In just four or five minutes, before Yue Li Zhong could even recover from the shock, Zhou Yanqing had already finished suturing the three skin cuts.

The operations of inserting the needle, removing the needle, tying knots and cutting the thread are as smooth as flowing water even if done by one person.

After the operation, Zhou Yanqing carefully fixed the patient's finger with sterile gauze and plaster, and explained: "The situation seems to be fine at the moment. If you are worried, you can get a tetanus shot."

"In addition, instead of using plaster for temporary fixation, it is best to buy a finger rehabilitation brace online, then wear it and start functional exercises gradually."

Upon hearing this, the patient Mao Mao raised his head and asked Zhou Yanqing: "Doctor, you are not a doctor in this hospital?"

"He's the chief resident, a professional doctor. I know!"

Zhou Yanqing really didn't expect that the patient Mao Mao would suddenly point out this problem very professionally. He felt nervous and asked, "What do you mean?"

Mao Mao saw Zhou Yanqing's expression getting nervous, and quickly comforted him, "Don't be nervous. I transferred to the civil servant of the Medical Insurance Bureau after five years of clinical training. In fact, I am very interested in clinical professional operations."

"I remember when I was doing internship, I often heard people say that hand surgeons were all masters of suturing, but I didn't expect that a doctor could skillfully perform a secondary operation like tendon suturing."

Hearing this, Zhou Yanqing's heart skipped a beat. He didn't feel the joy of being praised at all.
