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

Chapter 86 We must keep the people in mind from every angle!
"Auntie, you're too kind. This banner must have cost several hundred yuan." Lu Cheng respectfully stepped out and shook hands with the person who came.

The person who presented the banner was the 'auntie' who had been transferred from Jilin City back to Longxian County a few days ago for multiple tendon injuries!
She was really reckless; she had vascular damage and was transferred for so long. Luckily, Professor Tong Yuan'an was there; otherwise, Lu Chengdu wouldn't have dared to admit her.

Of course, her recovery after the surgery was also excellent.

Xiang Yaomei's real name is Yaomei, and her ID card name is also Yaomei: "Dr. Lu, it's all thanks to you that my hand was able to recover so well."

“My daughter said that my current recovery is progressing well. Even Director Liu from their hospital said it’s very fast and of high quality.”

"Dr. Lu, you have no idea how scared I was. I was terrified that I would be crippled like this..."

Xiang Yaomei's expression was sincere, her smile was cheerful, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to have smoothed out quite a bit.

Didn't Lu Cheng know she had mild anxiety disorder? There was a notification on the panel, which is why he communicated with her many times after the surgery.

While it may not have alleviated her anxiety, it at least prevented her from experiencing sudden anxiety due to the tendon rupture to some extent.

Therefore, in total, it provided Lu Cheng with at least 4 skill points.

The anxiety period was probably triggered by the tendon rupture. Lu Cheng solved the tendon rupture problem, was patient enough, and often came over to nag about some details, so she felt that Lu Cheng was meticulous and reliable.

"Auntie, this is what I should do!" The other person was fifteen years older than Lu Cheng, so calling her auntie was not wrong.

"Actually, the person you should thank most this time is Professor Tong from Xiangya Hospital. If it weren't for him, you definitely wouldn't have been able to perform this surgery..."

Xiang Yaomei's husband replied, "Professor Tong should be thanked, and Dr. Lu, you should also be thanked. Dr. Lu, please don't be offended, we went to the orthopedics department first to present Professor Tong with a banner."

"Professor Tong said it himself: if he had performed the entire surgery on my wife, the results would definitely not have been as good as they are now."

"Dr. Lu, you are too modest. Professor Tong has admitted that your skills are slightly better than his."

"Director Lin, thank you too." The middle-aged man greeted Lin Qianlong politely after seeing him.

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. Treating emergency patients is an obligation and responsibility that our department must undertake."

"You're being too polite!" Lin Qianlong said after shaking hands with the middle-aged man.
"Actually, whether you send us a banner or not, we will treat you the same way. It's just that this gift is indeed tempting for us doctors, and it will make us happy for a long time."

"Thank you so much for recognizing our hospital. It's really kind of you to come all the way from Jilin City..."

Xiang Yaomei said, "We are originally from Long County, and my daughter happens to work in the orthopedics department of the state hospital. If she didn't know about this, how would we know that Dr. Lu's skills are so good?"

“It was the right decision to come here this time. My daughter said that Director Xiang from the State People’s Hospital said that it takes less than 10% of patients to recover to my level in a week. And that’s even simpler than my case.”

After speaking to Yaomei, she looked at Lu Cheng and said, "Dr. Lu, I was quite nervous that day, so I might have lost control of my emotions a little. Please don't take it to heart..."

Clearly, the elderly couple are not short of money, so they don't mind receiving a banner as a token of their appreciation!

Lu Cheng didn't reply much, just nodded and said it was nothing. After listening to the head nurse and Director Lin exchange pleasantries with the patients and take some photos, he planned to go back to rest...

"Director Lin, you and Dr. Lu stand next to Uncle and Aunt. Nurse station, could you move a little closer to Dr. Lu?" Yao Lina, who was taking photos, instructed on the positioning.

However, while Lu Cheng was in the doctor's office, which was bustling with noise and excitement...

Outside the ward, a patient whom Lu Cheng didn't recognize, whose hand was also strapped with a rehabilitation brace, was sighing.

"You know, people's luck is different. I was injured on the 4th and went to the orthopedics department. I still feel some pain. The function of my hand is not fully recovered."

"You were the ones who got injured on the 3rd, and that's when you encountered Dr. Lu. The key thing is that Professor Tong, he just watched me being abused by other doctors without doing anything." The patient was tall and thin, with a pained expression.

He had come to the emergency room because Xiang Yaomei had gone to the orthopedics department to present a banner to Professor Tong Yuan'an, and that's when he learned that besides Dr. Peng Kun, there was another highly skilled orthopedic surgeon like Professor Tong. Hearing what Professor Tong had said that morning only made him more frustrated.

Beside him was a tattooed man with a full arm who had been injured in the emergency room. He explained, "Dr. Lu can't be on duty 24 hours a day. When tendon ruptures occur, the emergency room and orthopedics departments take turns treating patients."

"The emergency department handles odd-numbered cases, and the orthopedics department handles even-numbered cases."

The patient sighed, his voice conflicted: "That's why I said I was unlucky. If I were better off, I would have been discharged sooner or later, or if I were even better off, I wouldn't have gotten injured..."

"What's going on now isn't so bad."

The tattooed young man chuckled: "Brother, to be honest, I'm lucky in a bad way. I didn't really trust Dr. Lu's skills and was thinking of going to other hospitals for a checkup."

"After searching around, I found that no other hospital in our county dared to treat my ruptured tendon. So, after going around in circles, I had no choice but to come back."

"At first I thought it was such a small incision that it could be done anywhere. But Dr. Lu said that he couldn't guarantee the effectiveness of the treatment, which is just nonsense."

"It was all a twist of fate..." The tattooed young man's tone was a bit smug.

The smug tone made another middle-aged man want to hit him, but seeing his gangster-like appearance, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

……

As Lu Cheng left the doctor's office, Hu Jizong, who had come with Xiang Yaomei from the orthopedics department, immediately ran up to Lu Cheng and said, "Dr. Lu, could you take a look at my tendon suture? How did it go?"

Lu Cheng unbuttoned his white coat, shook his head, and laughed, "Brother, you're putting me in a difficult position. Tendon suturing is all about the technique inside."

"I don't have X-ray vision, and I didn't perform your surgery, so I can't give my opinion. Only your surgeon can truly understand whether your recovery is progressing as expected!"

"If I were to speak up, I would be considered unprofessional."

In fact, Lu Cheng could tell at a glance that Peng Kun had done a good job, about the same level as when he first started working on tendon suturing.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Compared with the quality of surgery performed by Lu Cheng, this patient's recovery is somewhat better.

But it's definitely true!
I can't possibly treat all the patients with ruptured tendons in Longxian County by myself, and I don't have that much energy.

Therefore, even if Peng Kun's skills are slightly less advanced, being able to do it makes him an 'expert'.

Whether it's good or not, you have to practice slowly.

After Lu Cheng finished speaking, he slightly cupped his hands and said, "Sorry, brother, I have to go home. I just finished my shift."

The tattooed young man suddenly realized and interjected, "Oh right, Dr. Lu, you were on duty yesterday, why don't you go home and rest?"

"We're waiting for you to come early tomorrow to process your discharge!"

The tattooed young man's loud voice made Hu Jizong dare not continue to pester him. He thanked him, turned and left, his back view showing a slight sense of loneliness...

Lu Cheng watched his retreating figure, his heart growing even more chilled.

Saving money for ordinary people and providing patients with medical services that were previously unavailable is a matter of medical ethics.

However, it is absolutely unacceptable to perform procedures with high medical ethics but low skills. Once you start a procedure, you must become an expert in it, and become an expert in it indefinitely.

Only by keeping patients in mind from all angles can one become a better doctor...
