This doctor is already middle-aged, and he's only just started practicing medicine.

Chapter 77 Standard Consultation Opinions in Orthopedics...

[Single-handedly performed a professional tendon suturing procedure...gained 1.6 skill points...]

[Assisted in the treatment of multiple tendon injuries, leading to functional rehabilitation for the patient, and earned 3.1 skill points.]

After the surgery, Lu Cheng confirmed once again that the skill points gained from treating multiple tendon injuries would not increase linearly, but would decrease to some extent.

Lu Cheng sutured three extensor tendons, which should theoretically be 4.2, but were inexplicably reduced by more than one point.

Current skill point balance: 18.5 points.

It was only 12.1 this morning, and now it's already 18.5. It's not even noon yet, and today's gain has already reached 6.4!

It is now confirmed that skill point gains are related to the level of the surgery.

Lu Cheng mentally estimated the average return.

[Manual reduction: 0.7 points/case; appendectomy: 1.0 point/case; tendon suture: approximately 1.2 points/strip; gallbladder-preserving surgery: 3.2 points/case (to be increased); spleen-preserving surgery: 3.4 points/case (to be increased).]

Cholecystectomy: 1.5 points/case; Splenectomy: 1.3 points/case...

"What are you grinning about? Let's go." Tong Yuan'an saw Lu Cheng lost in thought, patted Lu Cheng on the shoulder, and gestured for him to leave.

“Teacher Tong, I’m waiting for you to walk together. The reason I’m happy is because you teach so well, so I feel like I have a little presence in the clinical setting now.” Lu Cheng returned to his true self.

You need to acquire skill points to genuinely cure patients and relieve their pain. Otherwise, you won't even be able to get onto the operating table.

“You’re still young, so you find learning these minor surgeries very engaging, and you’ll feel a great sense of accomplishment after performing a few surgeries. That’s wonderful.” Tong Yuan’an looked at Lu Cheng’s happy face with a mixture of envy and deep emotion.

But in reality, tendon suturing is just a basic procedure in hand surgery.

For example, hand deformity reconstruction, finger replantation, tendon transfer, nerve transfer, functional reconstruction, and functional restoration are the real hand surgeries.

The tendon suture that Lu Cheng performed is not something that the hand surgery department of Xiangya Hospital does directly. It's just that junior doctors might do a few on a whim during their residency to practice.

Splenectomy and spleen-preserving surgery are both procedures performed in the emergency general surgery department.

For example, gallbladder tumors and liver tumors—those are the real surgical procedures in hepatobiliary surgery. There are even more advanced surgeries, the full names of which Tong Yuan'an doesn't even know...

However, Chen Song had told him about Lu Cheng's situation, so Tong Yuan'an couldn't bring himself to discourage Lu Cheng.

It's a real pity that Lu Cheng's talent has been wasted by his age. He hasn't even reached the threshold of scientific research yet. No matter how strong his professional skills are, he's just a technology transfer worker.

How can we make China's pharmaceutical industry self-reliant and confident?
Should we learn from others?
Wake up! The idea of ​​learning from the barbarians to control them has long been proven wrong. History has shown that only innovation can bring about revival, not following in others' footsteps.

However, being a good technology transfer worker is enough for Lu Cheng to experience what it's like to be a good doctor for the rest of his life, at least relieving patients' suffering.

But they probably can't understand the mindset of a healer who saves people from despair and absolute suffering.

When faced with the stares of people who have nowhere to turn for help, nowhere to seek medical treatment, and are waiting to die, Lu Cheng also feels the truth of "realizing how little one knows when the time comes to use one's knowledge"...

Tong Yuan'an was brought in to "save the day" and handle the "vascular suturing" that Lu Cheng couldn't do. After finishing, Tong Yuan'an naturally went back.

Lu Cheng had to be on duty, so Zhang Tiesheng was in charge of Tong Yuan'an's lunch.

Lu Cheng transferred 1,000 yuan to Zhang Tiesheng, but Zhang Tiesheng returned it. Zhang Tiesheng replied, "Little Lu, aren't you looking down on your brother?"

"Inviting Professor Tong to dinner is a favor I've done for myself. You want me to pay for it? Are you trying to make your brother Zhang feel ashamed later?" Lu Cheng explained, "Brother Zhang, no, it's just that I invited you and Professor Tong to help out. Inviting you to dinner is normal, right? Brother Zhang, don't break the rules..."

Zhang Tiesheng said, "Then I really have to break it. Next time, next time, okay..."

Zhang Tiesheng didn't dwell on it too much; Lu Cheng was now bringing far more benefits to the department than before.

In August, Zhang Tiesheng's performance bonus had already reached 6000+, and he had easily earned 10,000 yuan. Lu Cheng must have earned around 12,000 to 13,000 yuan, but Lu Cheng was earning the main surgeon's performance bonus. Without Lu Cheng, you wouldn't have this money, and it's something you can only envy.

Lu Cheng genuinely increased Zhang Tiesheng's income, so Zhang Tiesheng was naturally "convinced"...

"Dr. Lu, how did my wife's surgery go?" As soon as Lu Cheng returned to the ward, the aunt's husband rushed over to ask.

Lu Cheng immediately put away his phone and said, "Everything went smoothly. Now we just need to wait and observe the blood flow after the surgery."

"I'm on duty today, so I'll come over to check on you a few more times. But you all must also pay attention to the things I told you before the surgery."

"If you experience numbness, swelling, or purplish discoloration, be sure to tell us doctors immediately. You should tell us whenever you notice it."

"The most dangerous period after this finger vascular injury is the first 24 hours post-surgery. The condition of the blood vessels can determine whether the finger survives, so it cannot be taken lightly..."

"Of course, we have conducted a detailed assessment during the operation, and the blood supply is currently very good, but we are worried that there may be a local hematoma compressing the blood vessels after the operation," Lu Cheng explained in detail.

"Okay, okay, I'm relieved that the surgery went smoothly." The middle-aged man took a deep breath.

"Actually, several other patients in the ward told me that Dr. Lu's skills are excellent and that we shouldn't worry, but my wife's situation is different."

"Dr. Lu, you said right away that you couldn't handle it, which really scared us," the middle-aged man said.

Lu Cheng said, "I'm sorry, Uncle, it's true that my abilities are limited. If it weren't for Professor Tong, I really wouldn't have been able to handle this."

As Lu Cheng was speaking, Lin Liang's loud voice came from the nurses' station: "Lu Cheng, Du Daihua from the clinic is looking for you. He has a patient and can't leave."

"Uncle, I'm coming over for a bit." Lu Cheng immediately turned his head to apologize, then quickly ran away.

"It's alright, Dr. Lu, you can go about your business..." The middle-aged man was in the emergency department and understood Lu Cheng's haste.

As Lu Cheng passed the nurses' station, he looked at Sister Da Liang, who weighed 170 pounds and had arms stronger than his own, and asked, "Xiao Liang, what's up?"

“There are a bunch of patients over there. I have to go carry out the doctor’s orders. Sister Duoduo has gone to get her injection. There are a lot of patients under observation today. We’ve admitted almost seven or eight with gastroenteritis alone,” Lin Liang said.

Tian Duoduo is a registered nurse, and Lin Liang is a nurse! Although Lin Liang is big, she is actually very young, only twenty-four years old, two years younger than Tian Duoduo.

"Oh, okay..." Lu Cheng went straight to the consultation room without receiving any news.

After seeing Lu Cheng, Du Daihua said, "Brother Lu, could you take a look at this patient with a fracture?"

"I called the orthopedics department, but the doctor still told the patient to go directly to the ward..."

The emergency department called the orthopedics department for a consultation, and they dared not refuse to give their opinions. Apart from Peng Kun, who would come to the emergency department in person when he was on duty, most of the other people's opinions recently were to go directly to the wards.

“Okay, let me give the patient a physical examination first…” Lu Cheng said calmly.
