706 Training Newcomers (1/2)
Over the next few days, Ling Ran pressured Zuo Cidian into operating on Colles' fractures.
Ling Ran was not a person who liked to speak, so his way of teaching was through demonstration and correction.
If it could be done through manual reduction, then a manual reduction would be carried out. If it could not be done through manual reduction, the patients would be sent to the operating theater to have volar or dorsal plates placed inside their arms. If the fracture was worse, an external fixation method would be used.
Ling Ran would hand over patients who needed manual reduction, as well as the three methods of fracture fixing, to Zuo Cidian if he could manage them. Ling Ran would step in and take over for the parts that Zuo Cidian could not handle or do well in.
The four treatment models were repeated over and over, and in the eyes of outsiders, it looked like Ling Ran was making Zuo Cidian go through college entrance examination drills...
Over and over again...
Over and over again... If Zuo Cidian's mood was initially happy and full of initiative to learn, then after treating bone fractures multiple times and Colles' fracture repeatedly, Zuo Cidian would have mixed feelings.
Ultimately, he could not refuse to treat those patients, but the moment he opened his eyes in the morning, he would still feel incredibly depressed.
Even when he went to bed at night, he would not feel relieved because when he would still dream that he was performing Colles' fracture in his sleep.
Zhang Anmin shouted, ”Old Zuo, why are you lingering about at the door? Hurry up and go in, I saw two cases of Colles' fracture from the ambulance.”
Zuo Cidian turned around to see Zhang Anmin alone, and he could not help but laugh dumbly, ”Did you mistake it? Perhaps it's actually Smith's fracture?”
When one fell on their hands because they were trying to support themselves, if the arm was broken, it would be Colles' fracture, and when the back of the hand hit the ground, it would be Smith's fracture.
Although the difference between the two types of fractures was not great for an orthopedist, the difference was greater to Zuo Cidian. The day before yesterday, there was a patient who was thought to be suffering from Colles' fracture before he reached the hospital. But upon arriving at Yun Hua Hospital, it was found that he suffered from Smith's fracture, the patient was then sent to the Orthopedics Department, and Zuo Cidian cherished that misdiagnosis for a few hours.
He could not cherish that memory for much longer, because he was busy.
Zhang Anmin did not know about the fluctuating state in Zuo Cidian's mind. He pursed his lips and said, ”Aren't you proud of yourself? How many hospitals do you think Department Director Huo has spoken to? Now, it's a great shame for paramedics to mistake Colles' fracture and Smith's fracture, you know?”
”If someone died on the operating table, it would be just as shameful, but those who are fated to die will eventually die anyway.” Zuo Cidian did not acknowledge Zhang Anmin's words and continued pacing back and forth around the door.
”Aren't you going in?” Zhang Anmin asked.
”I'll get to work in two minutes.” Zuo Cidian looked at his watch and sighed again, ”Forget it, let's go.”
Once he said that, Zuo Cidian stepped into the hospital as if he was sacrificing everything.
The information desk was crowded...
There were people around the treatment room...
There were even more people in the waiting hall...
”Doctor Ling is not here.” Zuo Cidian let out a breath quietly.
”It's a given that Doctor Ling is in the operating theater, right? He asked you to go and look for him once you arrived.” Zhang Anmin stood behind Zuo Cidian with his eyes full of envy.
With Zuo Cidian's EQ, it was only natural that he could see Zhang Anmin's envy. In fact, Zuo Cidian guessed that if he knew that others could get such attentive teaching from Doctor Ling, he would probably be jealous and envious too.
However, now that it was his turn, it was a little more difficult than he initially thought it would be.
'It's the kind of difficulty that others can't experience.' Zuo Cidian thought to himself and felt slightly better.
In truth, it was just that he was too old. If this were ten years ago, Zuo Cidian would definitely not suffer from such a headache, aching back and legs, and this feeling of weakness all over his body...
”Youth is a treasure.” Zuo Cidian could not help but feel envious of Zhang Anmin.
Zhang Anmin just shrugged and said, ”I have an elderly patient here, fifty-eight years old, and he has fatty liver as well as hepatolithiasis. What's slightly more unique about him is that the patient has a combination of clonorchiasis as well. You can ask Doctor Ling and see if you're interested in doing that.”
”Why don't you go to Doctor Ling directly?” As soon as Zuo Cidian's words came out, he knew that he had asked a stupid question.
Zhang Anmin hummed. ”Doctor Ling released me so that he can perform the surgery on his own. He said that he wanted to show it to all of you in the group. In the end, the assistant was either Lu Wenbin or Ma Yanlin, and then, you're in charge of watching him perform the operations with Colles' fracture. Sigh, seriously, it's just a Colles' fracture, and it was performed so thoroughly.”
