Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 65 This is not scientific (first order required)

"Graduate student? Graduate students are divided into master's students and doctoral students. I am just a master's student, and I have a certificate and surgical authorization. Do you want me to sew it for you?" Zhou Yanqing asked with a smile.

"You're not an intern? It's okay if you're not an intern!" Unexpectedly, the young man was quite magnanimous.

Then he smiled shyly and said, "When I was watching short videos online, I heard that many hospitals let interns practice."

The reality is not a short video. The average person starts from a 985 undergraduate program, masters are worse than dogs, and doctors are everywhere.

For ordinary people, a master's degree is considered a high level of education.

"I'm just kidding. It's the resident doctor who will sew you up later. Doctor Ning Zhuning, a doctor who graduated with a doctorate and a doctor at Xiangya Hospital, will only reward me with one or two stitches to practice."

"Our hospital has very strict control." After Zhou Yanqing comforted the patient, he continued the conversation and signed, and did not continue to play tricks with the patient.

Honest patients deserve the most sincere and heartfelt treatment.

However, when Zhou Yanqing finished the conversation and signed the documents, and returned to the emergency surgery clinic with Ning Zhu, he discovered that there was an extra person next to Ning Zhu.

Zhou Yanqing recognized him. He was a professional master's student of Professor Tan Zhongyu. He was currently in the second year of his professional master's program. His qualifications were very good. His current suturing skills were enough to complete the half-layer suturing of orange peel.

He was chatting with Ning Zhu about something. Ning Zhu looked embarrassed for a while, but finally agreed.

"Teacher Ning, the materials for the interview and signature are all here." Zhou Yanqing was very sensible and did not add his usual words, "We can go into the operating room now."

Because Zhou Yanqing knew very well that Ning Zhu had something to say.

"Yanqing, how about this, you go to the practice room first! I will take Tian Chao to do this operation. Today is his emergency surgery class." Ning Zhu said.

The master's students at Xiangya Hospital are divided into general classes and emergency surgery classes in the ward.

The emergency surgery team is in the emergency operating room, working with the resident chief as an assistant to perform emergency surgery. Usually, Ning Zhu takes the initiative to find someone.

But Tian Chao came to him, and Ning Zhu really couldn't refuse.

"Okay, Teacher Ning." Zhou Yanqing smiled and said to Tian Chao:

"Brother Chao, I'm sorry! I didn't realize this before. I will also queue up next time."

In Xiangya Hospital, opportunities are even more numerous than they are scarce. If Zhou Yanqing wants to get the privilege of being an assistant to the chief resident, he must either be a doctor or just wait in line.

That's the rule.

Tian Chao felt embarrassed at first, but he also smiled shamelessly: "Brother Zhou, I can't let you work so hard all the time!"

Zhou Yanqing left with a stable mood, without anger or resentment.

On the contrary, Zhou Yanqing admired Tian Chao's boldness.

It was a bit against the rules that Tan Zhongyu arranged for him to follow Ning Zhu for a long time. It was also a sign of courage that Tian Chao dared to stand up and be the first to refute such a "violation".

……

Of course, Zhou Yanqing is not idle even though he is no longer following Ning Zhu.

After arriving at the training room, Zhou Yanqing easily upgraded his debridement and hemostasis skills, which he had already mastered many times, to the levels of [Debridement (Proficient 2/3)] and [Hemostasis (Proficient 2/3)] through the medals of repeated practice.

Moreover, at 7:23 in the afternoon of the same day, Zhou Yanqing finally activated the daily attributes of the boutique skill hall for the first time.

【精品技能堂温养打结术成功，完成打结术50000次，经验值+1！打结术由专精1/5提升至专精2/5.】

When Zhou Yanqing heard the prompt, he immediately looked at the history of experience points gained in knotting.

The original proficiency was (Proficiency 1/3). After going through the baptism of the medals "Hard Tempering" and "Practice Makes Perfect", the proficiency was raised to (Expertise 0/5). However, when Zhou Yanqing's knot-tying technique reached 4 times, the proficiency was once again raised to (Expertise 1/5).

Zhou Yanqing originally thought that this was a built-in attribute of the Premium Skill Hall, but he didn't expect that after reaching 50,000 times, it had actually improved a little bit!
This was a bit beyond Zhou Yanqing's expectations.

In fact, there is no need to improve the level of knot tying so high. Once you reach 2/3 proficiency and times per minute, you can reach the bottom line of the special channel for professional doctorates in hand surgery.

Of course, the higher the surgical skills, the better. Anyway, there is a requirement for the number of knot tying techniques to activate the medal, so just practice.

However, after seeing Zhou Yanqing was a little idle, Yu Yue sneaked up and asked in a low voice: "Yanqing, are you free? Can you come over and show me how to use the foam board?"

“I always feel like I’m almost there, but I also feel like I’m missing something.”

Zhou Yanqing's mind was focused on the panel and he was suddenly interrupted by Yu Yue's voice. He trembled slightly.

After coming to his senses, he turned around and found that it was Yu Yue with natural curly hair. He immediately said, "Okay, Senior Brother Yu, let's learn from each other."

Zhou Yanqing had just arrived and didn't have any friends. Yu Yue and others were people Zhou Yanqing wanted to get close to, but he had no legitimate reason to get to know them.

"What are you learning from me? Stop the commercial bragging. Come on, come and help me make a sample. I've almost forgotten what the correct stitching pattern is when I look at my own operation." Although Yu Yue has curly hair, he has a straight figure, neither fat nor thin, and looks a bit handsome.

Yu Yue led Zhou Yanqing to his workbench and said, "Yanqing, I have been sewing floating foam boards for more than half a year, but I still haven't made any progress. I know the techniques, but I don't know where I'm stuck..."

Yu Yue is a doctor who entered the program through a special channel for professional doctorates. He had already passed the stage of suturing and stretching the cuff early on, and now he has reached the final step before practicing vascular suturing.

Zhou Yanqing finished the operation quickly and sewed the water-floating foam boards neatly, like the deck of a ship that had been burned, with the seams neat and uniform.

Then when he looked at Yu Yue, Yu Yue swallowed twice, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and he rubbed his curly hair with one hand: "Yanqing, can you sew slower? I didn't see it clearly along the way, I just noticed that it was fast."

Zhou Yanqing: “…”

Then, Zhou Yanqing had no choice but to slow down and operate it again.

However, when Zhou Yanqing finished sewing the water-floating foam board again, he looked up and found that most people had gathered around him and were staring at him carefully.

Liu Wanqing touched his prominent larynx and said, "The difficulty of slow suturing with the floating foam board is at least two levels higher than that of fast suturing, which is equivalent to suturing two or three severed coccygeal arteries."

"Currently, in the department, the only ones who can complete the slow suturing of the floating foam board with high standards are Teacher Huang and Master. If Brother Ning Zhu and Brother Qingshan don't perform well, they will probably fail."

"Teacher Huang and Master are too lazy to perform these for us, so this kind of observation opportunity is rare."

"When doing slow sutures, you need to pay more attention to the angle and force application techniques..."

After listening to this, Zhou Yanqing asked: "Senior Brother Yu, is this okay?" Zhou Yanqing could not give any advice. All the theories Zhou Yanqing knew now were learned from Liu Wanqing, Yu Yue and others. He had no personal experience or unique skills.

Yu Yue nodded immediately: "Thank you, Yanqing. You've worked hard."

"I see you are practicing debridement, right? How is it going?" Yu Yue obviously intended to return the favor and wanted to give Zhou Yanqing some pointers on the debridement technique.

"Brother Yu, you should practice suturing first. I'm just practicing casually here. I'm practicing basic skills such as debridement and puncture. You don't have to worry about me." Zhou Yanqing politely declined Yu Yue's suggestion.

Yu Yue was at a critical stage of improving his suturing skills. He had just made a sample. If Yu Yue was distracted from teaching, everything Zhou Yanqing had just done would be in vain.

Upon hearing this, Liu Wanqing took the initiative to step forward and said in a very senior brother-like manner: "Yu Yue, you go and continue to practice. I will help Yan Qing practice other basic skills. You don't have to worry about it."

Then he looked at the others and said, "Everyone should just do your own thing and stop watching."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Liu." Zhou Yanqing thanked him without being aloof.

With good guidance, you can improve your abilities faster without delaying the use of medals. If you can make one more step before the Practice Makes Perfect medal is activated, and then activate the medal's effect, it will be double the joy.

Liu Wanqing then moved to Zhou Yanqing's operating table and watched Zhou Yanqing's operation first.

Zhou Yanqing's current debridement technique is (skilled 2/3), and the corresponding operation in the training room is tofu carving.

There are also corresponding layers of design for debridement in the training room.

Since the definition of debridement is to remove foreign objects and excise necrotic tissue, the first step in debridement in the training room is to sprinkle pebbles or fine sand into the tofu, and the operator is required to remove the foreign objects one by one.

The second step is to complete the simulation of excision and debridement of tofu of a certain thickness, for example, slicing tofu slices with a thickness of three millimeters and an error of no more than 0.5 millimeters.

The third step is to carve and cut out equilateral triangles, regular quadrilaterals or pentagons on the surface of the tofu to simulate the removal of irregular traumatic necrotic tissue.

The fourth level is even more difficult, as it requires carving simplified Chinese characters on the surface of tofu.

This level is exactly where Zhou Yanqing's skill proficiency has reached (proficient 2/3), but to go a step further and achieve the goal of carving the entire tofu into three-dimensional characters, he needs to practice more diligently.

The character "王" is a commonly used font for carving simplified three-dimensional characters on tofu. Zhou Yanqing always fails to get the hang of it. When he only carves the left half, he easily cuts the tofu.

It is still the same this time.

Zhou Yanqing looked up and asked the question in his heart: "Brother Liu, every time I operate to cut this half-I character, it will collapse, it seems a bit slow."

The doctoral degree in hand surgery requires special channel debridement, which requires the ability to carve tofu into three-dimensional simplified Chinese characters!

Liu Wanqing had already passed this hurdle a long time ago.

Liu Wanqing thought for a while before saying, "Yanqing, we surgeons are just like stone carvers. We only have a knife in our hands. And what we hold is not a carving knife, but a scalpel."

"If incision is the use of a knife, then debridement requires the knife to be transformed into other 'tools'..."

"Look!" Liu Wanqing said, and took the scalpel from Zhou Yanqing's hand. He held the knife like a pen and carefully carved the other half of the tofu that had not collapsed into the left side of the word "王".

"If you can hold the knife like a pen, it may be easier to complete this level. The most important thing is that the corners are not easy to operate, and you need to experience them carefully."

"You try it..." After Liu Wanqing finished his brief explanation, he handed the scalpel in his hand back to Zhou Yanqing.

Zhou Yanqing changed a piece of tofu to the working table and threw the previous tofu directly into the medical waste bin. After cleaning the table, Zhou Yanqing thought carefully for more than ten seconds.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yanqing began the operation.

Holding a knife like a pen sounds mysterious, but Senior Brother Liu Wanqing also said that the key is to pay attention to the corners.

Zhou Yanqing repeated the operation with the same idea again.

The "Ban Gong" character was carved out very quickly. Although the strokes were not as straight as Liu Wanqing's, it actually had the general shape.

"What the hell!" Liu Wanqing was completely stunned upon seeing this.

The sound made Zhou Yanqing, who was about to take action with the knife, stop.

Liu Wanqing half squatted down, and then his eyes kept turning around Zhou Yanqing, and he couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what are you like? Your talent is a bit scary?"

Zhou Yanqing was not at all nervous and replied seriously: "Brother, maybe it's because you taught me well. I have failed many times before. Failure is the mother of success."

Zhou Yanqing has practiced debridement no less than thousands of times from his first year of graduate school to now. Even after activating the panel and receiving the medal, he still performed debridement about a thousand times.

At this moment, under the guidance of Liu Wanqing, Zhou Yanqing has made a further step forward. He doesn't even think there is anything to be proud of.

Zhou Yanqing's emotions are terrifyingly stable.

Liu Wanqing still grinned and asked the question in his heart: "Yanqing, why didn't you apply to our hospital before? With your talent, it is impossible that you can't be admitted to Xiangya?!~"

This question is actually a task assigned to Liu Wanqing by Professor Tan Zhongyu.

Why didn't Zhou Yanqing come to Xiangya for his master's degree when he had such great talent? Did Zhou Yanqing take the exam before but was rejected due to an accident?

"I was transferred to the First Affiliated Hospital of Hengda University. My undergraduate degree is in five-year clinical medicine from Hunan Normal University." Zhou Yanqing replied honestly.

He did not explain that he was washed down by the pond.

This is not a glorious thing, but it is certainly not a shameful thing either. Zhou Yanqing is unwilling to complain about anything in order to arouse others' sympathy or resonance.

Selling sympathy is the helpless choice of people who are at the end of their rope.

"Awesome, Yanqing, keep going! This will be your home from now on." Liu Wanqing suddenly understood that Zhou Yanqing had not applied to Xiangya Hospital before.

Zhou Yanqing did not want to explain in order to avoid Professor Tan's misunderstanding that Zhou Yanqing did not apply for the exam because he looked down on Xiangya Hospital.

Then, Zhou Yanqing carefully and slowly controlled the corners of each step, bit by bit. A simple character "王" floated up along with the words "Debridement Experience Value +1" on the panel and appeared in front of Liu Wanqing and Zhou Yanqing.

Looking at the results, the shock on Liu Wanqing's face was also replicated on Zhou Yanqing's face.

However, Liu Wanqing scratched his scalp with his right hand, still unable to figure out why all this was happening: "This is unscientific... It's really unscientific..."
