270 Incision Skill (1/2)

Ling Ran quickly checked his skills out. He did not need to take his Master Level and Perfect Level skills into consideration as the rankings for these skills were quite high in the national level, and it was even higher in the city rankings. Forget about whether there were even 130 ranks for him to take, the difficulty in doing so was as high as a mountain.

In comparison, the few skills he had at Specialist Level had much higher chances in increasing their ranks.

The interrupted vertical mattress suture focused on suturing the scrotum. It mainly tested Department Director Huo's ability in collecting patients with scrotum injuries, and it was not an easy task. Both the Lembert suturing technique and the interrupted inverted horizontal mattress suture focused on suturing the gastrointestinal tract, and the chances for him in participating in those surgeries were very few. But he had a greater chance and a slightly better future at increasing the ranks for his fiddle bow hold and pencil grip.

If it came to incisions…

What came first to Ling Ran's mind was the double eyelid operation.

It had a high turnover rate and a high number of patients. While it would be an exaggeration to say that he could perform one hundred cases in a day, it would be quite easy for him to perform up to fifty cases in one day.

However, Yun Hua Hospital did not launch this program. It would be very troublesome if Ling Ran needed to find an organization like a beauty salon. Patients who wanted double eyelid surgeries were all girls, and they were all strangers to him. If he needed to receive thirty to fifty girls, he could not imagine how many words that he needed to listen while he did so.

'System, does it count if I buy meat to practice my incision skills?' Ling Ran suddenly came up with an idea on his mind, and he felt that he had found a loophole in the system.

”Yes,” answered the system in a forthright manner, ”But it will be judged based on your ranking.”

If the results will be judged based on his ranking, it meant that the system will judge him based on the results of the meat after he was done.

Practicing incision skills on a piece of pork meat was suitable for beginners. If he wanted to obtain a result suitable to reflect the skill level for Specialist Level Incision Skill, pork meat might not be enough.

Ling Ran thought deeply for a few seconds before he asked, 'Then, what is the rank for my incision skill now?'

The system spoke in Ling Ran's mind, ”Your pencil grip ranks at 765 in Yun Hua City, and your fiddle bow hold currently ranks at 558 in Yun Hua City.”

Ling Ran mainly used the fiddle bow hold for his surgeries, in comparison, he did not use the pencil grip style very often.

The rankings stimulated Ling Ran slightly.

If he ranked more than 500 in Yun Hua City, that meant that Ling Ran's incision skill was only at an average level.

This was not like performing a physical examination. Among doctors in all departments, internists were the best in doing physical examinations. This was especially so for elder internists, who had accumulated a lot of experience and were exposed to different kinds of situations, their standards when it came to performing physical examinations were very high. They did not lack chances to practice their skills. They appeared in quite a number of physical examinations for several organizations as well as schools every year. Therefore, it was not strange that Ling Ran was ranked in the thousands when it came to this particular skill.

There were at least thirty tertiary Grade A hospitals in Yun Hua City that provided a high number of internists who were good at doing physical examinations. There were also quite a number of chief physicians and associate chief physicians who had outstanding skills in hospitals ranked lower than tertiary Grade A hospitals.

However, incisions were purely for surgeries only.

Ling Ran's pencil grip style was ranked at 765 in Yun Hua City, therefore, his ranking would probably be in the hundreds or ranked after fifty in Yun Hua Hospital.

And this was the result Ling Ran obtained after he gained those two incision skills and performed a few hundred surgeries.

It seemed that it was very hard to increase his ranking by leaps and bounds for this.

Judging from this, those with slightly weaker Specialist Skills meant that they would not show any mistakes when they executed their skills, that was all.

When he watched the young novice monk Dong Sheng learn how to massage others, he found that it took no time to him to jump from Novice Level to Specialist Level. The requirements for the levels between novice to specialist should be relatively low, if that were the case.

But he should start to plateau at Specialist Level.

Ling Ran had also been performing physical examinations for quite some time, but he still remained at Specialist Level. However, his ranking had increased quite a lot, which meant that he would be remaining at Specialist Level for quite a while.

'How long will I need to increase my ranking by one hundred for my fiddle bow hold?' asked Ling Ran again.

The system did not answer.

Obviously, there was no standard answer for this question.

Ling Ran pouted and said, 'Open the Intermediate Treasure Chest.'

At the same time, Ling Ran murmured in his mind, 'Give me incision, incision, incision…'

A skill book appeared in front of his eyes in the brilliant light.

[Tracheotomy (Perfect Level)]

Ling Ran was very satisfied when he saw the words ”Perfect Level”.

From a doctor's perspective, different skills were divided into easy and difficult parts, but both easy and difficult skills could solve a lot of problems.

The number of lives saved by doctors who knew how to perform coronary artery bypass surgery might not be as many as the doctors who knew intestinal obstruction repair. However, performing intestinal obstruction repair meant that the doctor had to extract feces from the patient, and that was indeed a very unique surgery.

A tracheotomy was one of the most often used skills in the Emergency Department and ICU. It was also the surgical skill that appeared the most in movies. If a person in a movie decided to help someone else in trouble by using a pen to stab his lung, that scene could be understood as the doctor performing a tracheotomy on a patient.

Theoretically, housemen needed to undergo training to perform a tracheotomy, and they had to perform at least three or a maximum of ten cases. However, based on the current situation in the country, there were not many young doctors who had the chance to perform a tracheotomy. It would depend on the doctor's luck and how hardworking he was on whether or not he could practice his skills.

Ling Ran had learned tracheotomy in medical school before, but when it came to real life application, it was really difficult for him to turn this knowledge into practical use.

However, after using the skill book before him, Ling Ran became an experienced throat opener.

'Not bad.' Ling Ran nodded slightly.

Tracheotomy also required incisions, and it could be applied with both the fiddle bow hold and pencil grip style, so he thought he could train with them.

”Doctor Ling?” Yu Yuan shouted at Ling Ran.

They finished their ward round and needed to rush back to their office to write the medical records.

”Oh… Take a rest then.” Ling Ran nodded before he said, ”I will go to the resuscitation room and take a look first.”

Lu Wenbin and Yu Yuan left without any hesitation. Their workload was so heavy that they might not be able to finish on time.

Meanwhile, Ma Yanlin walked forward quickly and followed Ling Ran. He said, ”Doctor Ling, let me help you.”
