Great doctors start with pediatrics

Chapter 40 The Sun Also Rises

The sun rises as usual.

Laurent slowly opened his eyes.

An unfamiliar ceiling.

The patients' families, nurses, and doctors in the corridor had already started arguing.

Of course, the noisiest people are the patients.

Although half of the children in the urology department do not undergo major surgery, they still end up having surgery.

If you wake up and find that you are completely different from who you were yesterday, you will definitely burst into tears.

Moreover, the pain is very real.

Laurent was certain that he would never undergo such surgery in his life.

However, the hospital's humanistic environment is indeed quite good.

At least in Laurent's mind, after he fainted, he could just lie down anywhere.

I didn't expect they had prepared a hospital bed.

Maybe I had a very negative impression of hospitals before?

Laurent felt that this wasn't the case.

But a new day has begun.

All that happened yesterday has passed.

[Participating in the treatment of serious traffic accidents]

Many patients and their families are grateful to you.

[Unlock Skill: Acupressure Hemostasis (Master Level)]

[Unlock Bonus: Limb Agility]

"oh?!"

Laurent stood up, surprised, and said, "I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise."

As the name suggests, acupressure hemostasis is a branch of hemostasis that uses pressure to stop bleeding.

It is suitable for severe bleeding in certain parts of the head and limbs.

The method involves pressing your finger on the major artery near the heart or deep bone where the bleeding is occurring, thereby blocking blood flow and stopping the bleeding.

It sounds not much different from the direct pressure hemostasis that Laurent learned directly.

The only difference lies in the applicable locations and the parts and methods used as medical tools.

But that's how stopping bleeding works.

In the event of severe bleeding during emergency care, the most reliable first aid method for ordinary people is to press on the artery near the heart.

If you're unsure where the proximal end is, imagine the human body as a flattened pancake, and the heart as the center of a major illness. Then, see where the heart is closest to the center.

Compared to specialized acupressure hemostasis, Laurent's previous direct pressure hemostasis, while equally masterful, appeared crude in the professional field.

Many specific areas do indeed require acupressure techniques to stop the bleeding.

"I wonder if an average doctor can learn this procedure in their lifetime."

Laurent thought for a moment.

I don't think it's very likely.

After all, it's not necessary for an average doctor to practice manual hemostasis to the level of a master.

Unlike now, Laurent's brain and muscle memory are filled with the experience of tens of thousands of practice sessions.

"And he's also physically agile?"

Laurent felt the changes in his body.

He stretched out his finger and kept flicking it, and the flicking motion created afterimages in mid-air.

It doesn't look like a finger with bones; it looks more like a fake snake made of rubber.

It's not that bad.

It's important to understand that the scope of the limbs is quite broad.

This includes not only hands, but also arms, forearms, calves, thighs, and even buttocks.

Laurent felt that even if he went to a hotel to do pole dancing, wiggle his hips, and practiced, he could be considered a professional.

But the hip test was postponed for the time being; Laurent didn't want to embarrass himself in the hospital.

My gaze gradually shifted downwards.

"Isn't this considered a limb?"

Laurent's gaze fell on his feet.

He slowly rubbed off his socks, preparing to slowly raise his head...

"wrong!"

Laurent suddenly turned around and looked to the side.

Zhang Lianren was lying on the hospital bed next to him, his face showing surprise, his eyes wide, unable to speak.

"No, what are you doing here?!"

"What did you see?!"

A path to death.

Laurent felt a surge of anger.

Zhang Lianren pulled his neck back.

"I didn't see anything!"

"And wasn't I here to take care of you?"

"So the first thing I saw when I woke up was you..."

Zhang Lianren was glared at by Laurent.

Zhang Lianren pulled the blanket back in: "Go on, go on, I didn't see anything."

Laurent suddenly lost his mood.

It's a pity I didn't acquire any knowledge related to neurology, otherwise I would definitely have sent Zhang Lianren to the operating table.

Let's contribute to the development of human medicine, Professor Zhang!

"never mind."

With a sigh, Laurent stood up.

Zhang Lianren also crawled out from under the covers: "Actually..."

"What?"

Laurent listened to Zhang Lianren speak.

"I just realized," Zhang Lianren said, "I think you'd be quite suitable to be a proctologist."

"Huh?" Laurent asked, puzzled.

Zhang Lianren explained, "Your fingers are long and slender, and very flexible."

He looks like he's destined for the proctology department.

You have no idea, I had a hemorrhoid flare-up before. Dr. Wang at our hospital, yes, the one with the surname Wang, the one as thick as a finger, damn it!

Chang Lien-jen's complaints were filled with anger.

"When recruiting medical students specializing in proctology, can you please take a look at the proportions of their fingers?"

Can someone with a finger disability be directly transferred to another major?

"You have no idea how much suffering the patient can endure."

"Other medical specialties can use instruments and equipment, but digital rectal examination in proctology can't!"

Zhang Lianren said he hated it to the bone.

Laurent nodded upon hearing this.

He was remembering the jokes and details Zhang Lianren had told.

That way, when I go out to eat with my classmates in the future, I won't be completely speechless.

It makes me seem less like a medical student.

"However, having nimble fingers on the operating table is a good thing."

Zhang Lianren also sat up and suggested, "When you're on the operating table, remember to find a way to clearly demonstrate your strengths to your teachers."

"Actually, most students and doctors are quite average. As long as you excel in one area, you will stand out from the crowd."

Looking at Laurent, Zhang Lianyi slapped his forehead: "Oh, you're not the only one who's different; your suturing and first aid are also very good."

"Understood."

Laurent put on his shoes: "Thank you for the suggestion, Professor Zhang."

"No, no, just call me Lao Zhang."

Zhang Lianren shook his head: "If you feel better, you can be discharged and go back to school."

We live in the south, and it's really uncomfortable not to shower for a day in the summer.

"And please send my best wishes to your teacher."

Laurent nodded.

The air was quite humid, and the weather was hot.

The hospital's air conditioning wasn't set too low.

For Laurent, an air conditioner at 26 degrees Celsius was practically useless.

He is someone who can keep the air conditioner at 18 degrees Celsius for a whole year.

Now that he's slept through the night, Laurent does feel like he's covered in slimes.

"Then I'll be leaving first."

"Okay, I'll do my rounds and then I'll be off work."

"I'm exhausted."

Zhang Lianren yawned.

Laurent initially thought that Zhang Lianren had been writing medical records all night, or that he had encountered an emergency during the night.

"Finally reached the King rank!"

"..."

Laurent left the ward in silence.

"Ugh!"

"Dr. Luo."

As Laurent walked down the corridor, he suddenly heard a voice greeting him.

Laurent turned around and saw that it was the young man's parents.

Laurent felt as if he had received the postcard from the other person, but had forgotten the name.

I've forgotten all the names I used to call them.

Let's just call them Big Brother and Big Sister.

The older brother waved at Laurent: "Dr. Laurent, we've been looking everywhere for you!"

"We also inquired and found out that it's your vacation time recently, so we were wondering where you might go?"

"I only found out yesterday from your teacher that you fainted while trying to save a child and are currently hospitalized."

"We were just saying that Dr. Luo is a compassionate doctor, with the spirit of Hua Tuo, the legendary physician of the Three Kingdoms period, and here we are!"

The older brother stepped forward and said, "We are truly destined to meet."

The big brother has a very strong presence.

Laurent stood beside him, and even at 1.9 meters tall, he looked like a younger brother.

Laurent asked, "How...how is the child?"

"It's not bad. He was hospitalized for a few days, and now the doctor's assessment is to treat him conservatively. He has been prescribed some medications, and we plan to supervise his taking them."

"And this kid said he wants to be a doctor when he grows up, and that you're really cool."

The eldest sister added, "But his grades aren't good, so we'll let him study nursing at a vocational college first. If he can stay focused, he can take the postgraduate entrance exam to study clinical medicine later."

"I even made a special appointment to chat with the doctor and ask him about it."

Laurent nodded: "It is indeed a way out. If he can take the college entrance exam, he can study for these three years. He's only sixteen or seventeen now, right?"

"Yes, but he's not good enough for the college entrance exam, is he?"

"Of course it's possible. We're all in the city, and the educational resources are far superior to those of our competitors in small towns and counties. As long as you're willing to learn, you can pass the exam even if you study on your own with a tutor."

Laurent said, "Look at me, I'm still an orphan. I went to a regular high school, and eventually got into this place. I started studying at the orphanage in my second year of high school."

"Ah, Dr. Luo is an orphan!"

The eldest sister exclaimed in surprise.

He glared at the mobile phone, as if trying to shift the blame.

"We won't talk about it next time, sorry, Dr. Luo."

"But my child has a wish they hope you can grant?"

Laurent felt a little uncomfortable watching the eldest sister radiate maternal warmth.

Do working professionals who become parents also experience parental feelings?

Amazing.

As for the request...

"sign?"

"No." The older brother shook his head. "My son wants you to sew up his foreskin. Is that possible? He'll probably have surgery next week."

Laurent fell silent: "Alright, you can tell Teacher Zhang to contact me later."

"Okay, okay."

The elder brother clapped and cheered: "Truly a doctor with a benevolent heart."

Suddenly, the man reached into his mobile phone and pulled out a scroll: "Look, Dr. Luo."

When the scroll is opened, there is a banner.

It is written.

He possesses high medical ethics and superb surgical skills.

Laurent was moved, but then he lowered his head.

Gift to: Laurent, a pediatric urologist specializing in suturing.

"..."

For some reason, he often found himself speechless after transmigrating.

There's no need to specifically mention this.

"We've also contacted the newspaper, and they'll publish a thank-you letter specifically for you!"

The eldest sister added.

"Thanks."

Laurent grasped the eldest sister's hand firmly and said, "I am extremely grateful."

People from the community know how to handle things.

What thank-you letter? What banner?

Publishing a thank-you letter in the newspaper is what really matters!

Laurent felt he had secured his first-class scholarship for three years.

Who can rival me?

"Alright, Dr. Luo, come on over!"

Suddenly, the older brother grabbed Laurent's arm.

Before Laurent could react, the big brother walked forward and said, "Let's walk around the hospital, that way your superiors will know about your contributions."

"Then ask your boss to take a picture."

Laurent has stopped smiling.

Laurent was dragged around the hospital by his older brother.

I feel like a ghost who has lost its soul.

"Can we put away our flags?"

"No, this is a gift for Dr. Luo; how can we not show it off?"

"Then we..."

"Dr. Luo, let's take a walk over here."

In the end, they had walked almost halfway to the hospital.

The nurses who were watching kept taking pictures.

In the end, it was Jiangnan Guo who saw the phone and rescued Laurent.

The eldest brother and sister took a photo with Jiangnan Guo and Laurent, waved, and left.

"Thank you, Director Jiang!"

Laurent quickly expressed his gratitude.

We weren't this tired even when we were rescuing people yesterday.

Jiang Nanguo thought to himself, "Haha, I didn't expect that someone so young would have a patient who would specifically thank you and even publish it in the newspaper!"

"You've influenced our hospital's performance evaluation to improve a bit."

"Very good, but I didn't expect your stitching skills to be so good. I'll go ask Zhang Lianren about it later."

"Your chance has come. Come to our operating room, and I'll let you stitch me up."

Jiang Nanguo looked at Luo Lang, becoming more and more pleased: "By the way, if you have time, how about I treat you to a meal? My daughter is coming over today, she's turning twenty-seven..."

Laurent quickly shook his head: "No, no, I still have a lot to learn."

"Ugh."

Jiang Nan sighed: "Alright, we'll get to know each other another time. You were busy all day yesterday, so go back to school and rest today."

"Director Jiang."

Laurent asked, "How was yesterday's patient?"

"The surgery went well; your leg was saved."

"His family is very grateful to you."

"They asked me for your contact information, and after thinking about it, I asked them not to spread it, and then I told them about the situation at your welfare home. They have already contacted you to make a donation."

"After all, it's best for us doctors not to charge money."

Jiangnan Guo changed the subject: "Then I suggested they send a banner. I told them you could get a 200 yuan bonus from the hospital, and they could just find a cheap one on Pinduoduo to make it."

Laurent asked, "What about the morning's?"

"As long as you don't send it to the department, but to the hospital, the department will give you a reward of two hundred. The whole hospital knows about this this morning."

Laurent didn't know what expression he should have.

But it seems my income has increased by two hundred.

Good deeds are rewarded!

But this is certainly not a way to make a profit.

"I will apply for other bonuses for you later, don't worry, I understand your situation."

Jiangnan Kingdom assured him, "It won't affect you anymore, go back now."

Upon hearing this, Laurent walked outside.

Go down the stairs; there's still a distance to the hospital entrance.

The emergency room, not the pediatric emergency room, was right next door.

Laurent noticed that there weren't many patients in the emergency room that morning, and for some reason, he breathed a sigh of relief.

I'd rather the medicine shelves gather dust!

"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"

"Doctor, the patient here needs the bleeding stopped!"

Suddenly, a nurse rushed in, pushing a gurney.

The patient may not have received emergency treatment to stop the bleeding.

Blood dripped relentlessly behind them.

A bright red light hovered above the patient's head.

Laurent instinctively stopped in his tracks.

The sleeves on the hospital bed were stained red.

The patient was wearing yellow overalls.

There is a kangaroo drawn on it.
