Chapter 1353: Chapter 1352: Deep Cuts
Translator: 549690339Director Hu rubbed his hands with all his might. The image of his son when he was young suddenly popped up in his mind. At that time, he had taught his babbling son to use the seven-step washing technique. While washing, he would also teach him how to speak, he would say things like, “Daddy Will Wash Your Little Paws for you.”.
His memory suddenly jumped back to the scene when he went to the capital to study. Actually, it was at the same time. In order to stand out from the department, he resolutely left his babbling son and went to the capital to study for nearly a year.
At that time, elder Liu was still professor Liu, but he was still the most strict in Beijing. Many doctors who were around his age started from scratch like interns in their thirties..
The ties of family, the pressure of society, the pain of studying, the strictness of the professor, the complexity of relationships, and the financial difficulties. All kinds of things were pressing on him, and he could not tell what it felt like.
All along, department director Hu had always comforted himself by saying that everyone lived like this.
!!However, when he heard elder Liu’s warm praise for Ling ran today, Department Director Hu’s heart became unbalanced.
Ling ran was even younger than when he first went to Beijing. Why did he…
“Department director Hu, do you want to try our slippers? They’re very comfortable.”A pharmaceutical sales representative with a Yunli signboard silently came to the washroom. He stood at the door and asked with a smile.
“What slippers?”Department director Hu’s thoughts were interrupted and he frowned.
“The slippers that our doctors wear are too casual. It may not be comfortable to stand for a long time. The slippers that we have chosen are specially designed for doctors. After the doctors in the Emergency Medical Center tried them on, they all said that they are not bad. They want to invite you to try them.”
“Oh, why didn’t you come to the orthopedics department to promote them?”Department director Hu was not surprised that he could meet all kinds of pharmaceutical sales representatives every day.
Yun Li’s pharmaceutical sales representative chuckled. “Isn’t this the beginning? If you like it, you can directly look for our Yun Li’s pharmaceutical sales representative. Everyone has a quota.”
“Okay.”Department director Hu washed his hands before he changed into his shoes. Before he left, he thought of Ling ran and said with a hint, “Your relationship with Yun Li and the emergency department is quite good.”
Most pharmaceutical sales representatives would avoid talking about this kind of topic. However, the person in front of him smiled and said very calmly, “Our chairman likes Doctor Ling.”
Department director Hu was stunned for a few seconds before he put on his shoes and left without saying anything.
“Huff, Huff…”
Department director Hu stood at the door of the operating theater and took a few deep breaths before he stepped on the door of the operating theater and entered it.
The circulating nurse raised her head and glanced at department director Hu. She immediately went forward to change department director Hu’s clothes. She quickly helped him put on the surgical gown and gloves.
“Department director Hu.”Zuo Cidian, who was the assistant, glanced at department director Hu and nimbly gave up his seat.
“HMM…”department director Hu nodded and stood in front of Ling ran.
When he came into contact with the patient, the entire process was extremely smooth. It was smooth to the point that it felt smooth. It was just like the gentle and lovely lady he met in the Wyndham Hotel by the West Lake Last March.
Department director Hu was shocked. He thought to himself, ‘could it be that Ling ran’s team has ambushed me?’?
Zuo Cidian, who had just gotten off the operating table, looked at department director Hu with a disdainful gaze. Even with his heels, he could already imagine department director Hu’s current inner drama. After all, they had made so many freelance surgeries and traveled to so many cities with Ling ran, the high-level doctors they met all had similar thoughts.
Ling ran had long gotten used to the first assistant in front of him changing from person to person. It was just like when he was studying, his deskmate would often change people for no reason. In the beginning, Ling ran would still ask questions out of curiosity, but if he changed people too often, his curiosity would naturally be worn away.
“Pay attention to the ligaments and tendons around the coracoid process…”when Ling ran reminded him, he did not even lift his head.
The corner of Department director Hu’s mouth tilted a little, as if he wanted to look down on Ling ran. However, when he turned his head around, he saw Ling ran slowly lifting the coracoid ligament. His expression could not help but freeze.
The coracoid ligament included the oblique ligaments and the tapered ligaments. The names sounded big, but in reality, they were only the size of the edge of a fingernail.
It was needless to say how difficult it was to operate on such ligaments. Usually, doctors would try many times to select the right position and do a few rounds of deep breathing. It might be easier to operate on such ligaments.
However, Ling ran’s operation was a little too smooth. It was so smooth that people did not realize that he was operating on the coracoclavicular ligament..
Elder Liu also praised him generously.
Just as he said, elder Liu and Ling ran did not know each other, and there was not much conflict of interest between them. That was why the former’s praise was especially pure.
In the real world, when a high-level intellectual used pure praise, the strength of the praise was far beyond imagination.
Chief Hu’s earpiece kept transmitting adjectives such as “Beautiful,”“Too accurate,”and “Comfortable.”If it were not for elder Liu’s old voice, chief Hu would have misunderstood him immediately.
“You have to go a little deeper here,”Ling ran said as he performed the surgery.
During the course of his surgery, he often guided his assistants. Zuo Cidian, for example, basically guided him all the way here.
Department director Hu was stunned. He focused his attention slightly and looked over. He saw Ling ran slide the knife down, deep and shallow.
There was nothing special about the movement, but department director Hu instantly memorized it. At the same time, he looked at Ling ran in surprise.
This kind of movement, or rather, this kind of explanation, could be said to be something that would never appear in textbooks. It only existed in the oral teachings of doctors.
This was not an important action, and it had not been strictly based on evidence. Naturally, it could not be included in the textbooks. However, in the actual operation of a surgeon, this cut had to be drawn down, and it had to be drawn down flat, whether it was a redrawing or a light drawing, a choice had to be made.
A good choice was beneficial to the next step of the operation. It was beneficial to the patient’s body. If the choice was not good, the operation could still be carried out. However, the effect of the operation would definitely be reduced.
The reason why teaching surgery could never be compared to the professor personally operating the operation was because the doctors who were trained would often make mistakes in the operation. Whenever this happened, the professor would often just say, “Next time, cut deeper.” “Next time, cut deeper.”.
The close teacher-student relationship between surgeons was also built on this.
Many times, only when the superior doctors were served well would people say, “Cut deeper.”. Just based on this point alone, the education model of surgical medicine in the twenty-first century was not fundamentally different from the blacksmith’s shop in the fourteenth century.
When Zuo Cidian performed surgeries with Ling ran, it was naturally very normal for him to receive real-time guidance. The young doctors who came over to watch the surgery more or less had the intention of looking at it. However, the information they received when they stayed outside the operating table was completely different from the information they received on the operating table.
Department director Hu had switched to Zuo Cidian, so he definitely did not expect to receive the same treatment. However, from Ling ran’s performance, it was clear that the latter did not treat him differently.
Department director Hu secretly memorized the main points from before and did not say anything.
Ling ran continued to operate. After he asked for another pair of forceps, he said, “You have to pull this part a little bigger, but be careful not to tear it.”
Department director Hu nodded. Even though he had worked on the shoulder joint for many years, he still did not know what Ling ran was referring to.
Ling ran performed surgeries along the way. He explained everything along the way based on department director Hu’s technical characteristics. This was a habit that he had developed over the past few years as a freelance surgeon. Many city and hospital directors were willing to hire him as a freelance surgeon, and there was more or less a need for him to learn. Ling ran had never been stingy about it.
However, department director Hu gradually indulged in it. He felt so good that he was unable to extricate himself from it.
