Great doctors start with pediatrics

This was Laurent's first time participating in surgery.

This was the first time I had ever seen such a bloody scene.

Fortunately, the boy's upper body was separated by a board; otherwise, seeing the horrific state of his genitals, the boy would have burst into tears first.

However, under the influence of anesthesia, there will only be noticeable pain for a moment after the anesthesia takes effect.

"Alright, it's time to stitch it up. You three come over here and keep an eye on it."

Zhang Lianren raised his head, looked at the three of them, and said, "Although I've said this many times, we can't be careless just because the surgery is minor. You had to be extremely careful, like when we were removing the part just now."

"If it's cut too short, it could have lifelong effects on the child, so it's best to ask the parents about their wishes during the outpatient visit, whether they want to conservatively leave a little more."

"You also need to be careful when suturing. The frenulum is rich in blood vessels and is the area most prone to bleeding during surgery. You must be careful when you do it. If it is not necessary, do not add too many stitches."

"This is the first surgery of the day. Let me demonstrate a few stitches for you."

As he spoke, Zhang Lianren used tweezers in his left hand and a needle in his right to suture.

Laurent's eyes quickly followed Zhang Lianren's movements.

"The frenulum is the most sensitive area. Too many needles or too close together can lead to scarring and swelling."

"You should be like me..."

Before long, Zhang Lianren had finished tying the knot: "Sigh, I think I sewed it too fast this time. Did you see it clearly?"

The two students, one fat and one thin, nodded quickly: "We saw it clearly! But Teacher Zhang, you were so fast! You were incredibly fast and accurate!"

"Yes, we don't know how long it would take us to learn your skills. The stitching is so beautiful."

"How beautiful is it?" As the two men showered him with praise, the little boy suddenly exclaimed, "Good buddy, let me see! I want to see too..."

"Lie down and don't get up."

Zhang Lianren immediately ordered the little boy, adopting an attitude that it was an adult matter and children shouldn't concern themselves with it.

The little boy gave an "oh" and remained lying stiffly on the operating table, watching the animation.

Although it looks easy, it still takes a considerable amount of time for a doctor to go up and handle the suture of the frenulum.

Whether it's experience or ability, even seemingly insignificant stitching requires a lot of skill.

"What do you think of the suturing technique I used, Laurent?"

Zhang Lianren looked at Laurent and asked a question.

"Simple interrupted sutures are the type of sutures I'm better at," Laurent answered truthfully.

That's all he's good at.

"Are you good at it?" Zhang Lianren shook his head.

He was completely focused on this surgery, using the fastest and most precise techniques from the insertion of the needle to the completion.

After he finished his work, the other two classmates praised him, but Laurent remained silent for a long time: "Laurent, what do you think of the teacher's stitching?"

Laurent recalled Zhang Lianren's actions and said fairly, "They were quite good, sufficient."

"Hmm?" Zhang Lianren frowned, quite displeased.

After years of studying medicine and putting in a lot of effort to demonstrate my skills, this is the result I get.

Is this student who's just crashing surgery really acting like a big shot? So arrogant!

After quickly finishing the next stitches, Zhang Lianren said, "Why don't you sew a couple of stitches? I've already prepared some for you."

"For you students, 3-0 wire is fine, but please note..."

"it is good."

Before Zhang Lianren could finish speaking, Laurent immediately agreed.

Chang Lien-jen was still stunned by this "good".

Laurent had already picked up the needle holder and attached the suture.

Find the right angle at a glance and insert the needle directly.

By the time Zhang Lianren realized what was happening, Laurent had already begun to take action.

Laurent had already easily tied the knot and cut the wire.

"Ah...it's sewn up?"

Zhang Lianren spoke as if in a dream: "No, no... you're using 4-0 cable, I didn't mean..."

Zhang Lianren wanted to reprimand the students for their violation of regulations.

It's important to understand that no matter what happens, the surgeon in charge bears the primary responsibility.

He quickly lowered his head to check.

Zhang Lianren, however, discovered...it was perfect, too perfect.

The angle of needle insertion, the stitch length, and the sewing technique were all flawless, and even the knot was tied beautifully, with no excess thread left behind.

Zhang Lianyi was momentarily speechless...

Laurent, however, got carried away: "This needs another stitch."

Zhang Lianren did not call a halt.

Because there wasn't enough time, he had already seen Laurent's actions while looking down.

His hands moved like those of a swordsman in a cultivation world, wielding the needle holder and tweezers with the fluidity of a natal sword, a performance in itself.

Although simple interrupted suturing is no longer a mainstream technique in pediatric circumcision, as the most basic suturing operation, it still has unparalleled advantages.

It has good adaptability, low threshold, high fault tolerance, and excellent hemostatic effect.

The barrier to entry is so low that anyone could learn it by seriously studying for half an hour, but to practice something easy to this level...

How many bananas did this guy eat?

Not only Zhang Lianren, but even the fat and thin students stared wide-eyed.

We're all medical students; everyone knows how difficult it is to master a skill.

To learn sewing, which family hasn't eaten a whole season's worth of bananas? Or wasted hundreds of pounds of pork?

In order to stay in a good hospital, Zhang Lianren went to great lengths, practicing from the basics.

After being tested in thousands of surgeries, it still can't compare to Laurent's casual suturing technique.

Zhang Lianren even felt that even the chief surgeons of hand surgery and neurosurgery probably couldn't do as well as Laurent.

Everyone fell silent.

"What's wrong?"

As soon as things quieted down, the kid panicked: "Bro, bro, did something go wrong with my surgery?! I can't die, I haven't even reached my peak yet!"

"fine."

Zhang Lianren said, "You, as my older brother, did a great job stitching it up for me; I couldn't have done that."

This isn't about intimidating others; it's about getting yourself into a trap.

Although there is no clear classification for surgical techniques, if we use engineering analogies, Laurent's technique is at least at the eighth level!

Upon hearing this, the little boy turned to look at Laurent and exclaimed, "Brother, you're awesome!"

Laurent was embarrassed.

Zhang Lianren was getting annoyed again; he was the surgeon in charge!

Addressing the little boy, Zhang Lianren retorted, "And another thing, you've never even reached the peak, you're really bad."

"Oh……"

He waited a while after the surgery to make sure the boy was alright before leaving.

Zhang Lianren forcefully inserted a pain-relieving suppository into the little boy's mouth.

The little boy was carried out of the operating room by people sandwiching him from both sides.

At the door, the little boy's mother, a stylishly dressed woman, had been waiting for a long time.

"Honey, how did the surgery feel?"

"nice."

"Um?"

The little boy bluntly said, "Ultraman is cool, but the doctor's phone is terrible. Mom, should we bribe him with a new one?"

"Hmm?" The fashionable woman's lips twitched. "I'm asking how your surgery went. Was it performed by that older doctor?"

"yes!"

The little boy thought for a moment: "But it seems that the handsome older brother sewed a few stitches in the back."

He's the one who's hundreds of times more handsome than my dad.

The little boy remained outspoken.
