Great doctors start with pediatrics

The operation is over.

Zhang Lianren, along with his students and Laurent, briefly documented the surgical procedure.

The circulating nurses and scrub nurses also worked overtime to clean the operating room thoroughly.

Traditional circumcision surgery takes a relatively long time, generally ranging from 30 to 40 minutes, which is much slower compared to newer staplers and circumcision techniques.

However, after careful consideration, many patients still choose the traditional surgical method.

Therefore, during surgery season, urologists, especially pediatric urologists, never have a break.

If you can perform forty surgeries a day using a stapler, then you would need to perform at least a dozen traditional surgeries a day.

Doctors are like workers on an assembly line, welcoming patients without emotion and sending them off without emotion, doing the same repetitive work.

There was no commotion from patients' families, only work devoid of emotion.

This is why, among pediatricians, urologists have the easiest job, second only to those in child health care.

In this operating room, Laurent is undoubtedly the most relaxed one.

Now, Zhang Lianren and the fat and thin classmates are looking at Laurent as if he were a god.

Everyone here is an expert and can naturally see Laurent's brilliance.

In other words, as long as Laurent wants to continue, he doesn't need to put in much effort to stay in the pediatric urology department of this hospital.

For circumcision surgery, suturing and excision are equally important parts.

Looking at Luo Lang, Zhang Lianren finally understood that this was indeed Director Zuo's beloved disciple.

Nobody knows where Director Zuo got this treasure from, and he even made a point of bringing it over to show off.

Even Zhang Lianren wanted to learn suturing techniques from Laurent, hoping that if he could learn them, he might be able to get promoted.

Both the fat and thin students began to think about how to ask Laurent for advice.

But just as the next surgery was about to begin, a circulating nurse suddenly ran over: "Dr. Zhang, come out and take a look!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lianren immediately led his students outside.

"What's going on here?"

As soon as they came out, a stylish woman started yelling and cursing at them: "Do you know how important this surgery is for the child? How could you let a student perform it? What if the child's life is ruined?"

The little boy who had been lying on the bed was standing next to the fashionable woman. When he saw Laurent and the others come out, he quickly turned his head away, pretending that he didn't know his mother.

Although he didn't know what had happened, he was still very clear about the principle that whoever let him play on his phone was a good person.

"Madam, what happened?"

Zhang Lianren quickly inquired.

"I heard from my son that you sent students to stitch him up, you know that..."

The woman's words attracted the attention of those around her.

"Madam, please calm down. I understand your anxiety."

Zhang Lianren glanced at the nurse next to him, who quickly went to persuade the onlookers to leave.

Of course, such attempts to persuade people to leave are useless; after all, who would want to leave if they could just watch the show?

Zhang Lianren could only explain: "First of all, we are a public tertiary hospital, and we have an obligation to train students. If you don't want your students to perform the surgery, you can go to some secondary hospitals or private hospitals to perform the surgery."

This statement is not without merit.

Despite the many drawbacks in reality, the purpose of the residency training system is, in principle, to enable doctors at the grassroots level to learn in large hospitals. The surgical experience they gain there may be the most valuable learning experience of their lives.

Therefore, generally only public tertiary hospitals are qualified to establish standardized residency training bases.

Therefore, for some simple minor surgeries that can be performed in primary hospitals, when choosing a tertiary hospital, the possibility of trainees or residents participating should be taken into account.

"Secondly, it is not a violation of regulations for students to participate in the surgery, and I supervised the entire surgical process."

I personally performed most of the major surgical procedures, and only two stitches were left for my students to complete.

Madam, I hope you can understand our work.

"Understand? Understand what?"

The fashionable woman wanted to get to the bottom of things, so she looked at Laurent and asked, "This student doesn't look very old. How good can his surgical skills be? Could he suture such a critical area?"

The woman's words resonated with those around her.

While it is reasonable for resident trainees to get started in principle, from a practical standpoint, ordinary people don't know much about this system and the current state of hospitals beyond watching short videos and playing with memes. Out of self-protection, they will obviously tend to support the woman's questioning.

Yes, I understand your concerns.

Zhang Lianren's eyes lit up when he heard what the fashionable woman said.

He was worried about not having a chance to resolve the situation, so he quickly said, "However, you might be mistaken. Technically speaking, this student's skills are far superior to mine!"

"In fact, many hand surgeons and neurosurgeons may not be as good at suturing as he is."

"Nurse, go get a banana and a syringe, and let Luo demonstrate."

The nurse quickly brought over a bunch of bananas.

This stuff was always available in the lounge; if he wanted to take some, he could always get a few more strings.

Zhang Lianren said, "Madam, could you please scratch it with your fingernail or a key?"

The woman was skeptical, but she took out her car keys and scratched a five-centimeter crack in them.

Zhang Lianren, holding the surgical instrument, said, "Laurent, why don't you try suturing it?"

"it is good."

Laurent was not a naive and clueless college student after all. When he heard the nurse ask for bananas, he understood Zhang Lianren's idea.

Demonstrating technology in public makes people believe it.

This is exactly what a doctor with cheat codes should do!

Laurent thought for a moment as he swiftly brought down his knife.

In just ten seconds, before the audience could even react, the three needles had been inserted.

Zhang Lianren once again saw through Laurent's actions and was amazed.

Even top specialists might not be able to perform this suturing technique.

This student is simply born to be a surgeon.

"Madam, look! I dare say that there aren't many people in the entire hospital who can do this kind of suturing speed."

To appease her, Chang Lien-jen made all sorts of promises.

"Madam, do you see that? After three stitches, the banana peel is perfectly aligned, fitting together seamlessly, and the stitch spacing is also perfect, almost uniform."

"If you don't understand, you can even measure it with a ruler, or take a picture and upload it for clarification."

The fashionable woman took the banana and examined it, her eyes widening in surprise.

Is this something that can be sewn together with two metal scissors?

She doesn't knit this neatly and skillfully even when she's at home, let alone with such small lines.

"You saw it too."

Zhang Lianren sighed: "If this surgery weren't so important that I had to perform it myself, your son's surgery would have been absolutely perfect if Luo had done all the suturing."

"After the surgery heals, the scar will not only be less, but it will also look absolutely beautiful."

"Even if you take it out to show off to young girls and boys, you'll definitely look impressive."

"Even with just two stitches, the risks are reduced. And Luo is using 6-0 thread, so she's actually at a disadvantage. If this were done at a cosmetic surgery clinic, they could easily make hundreds or thousands of dollars."

The fashionable woman forgot everything before and after, and after hearing Zhang Lianren's words, she said: "Pah, pah, pah, only young girls can be glamorous in front of you, what young men?"

After speaking, the fashionable woman glared at Zhang Lianren, then turned to look at Laurent.

Just as the child said, this medical student is young and handsome enough to be several times better looking than the boy's father!

He could become a male model instead of a doctor.

Laurent, oblivious to this, asked, "Madam, is there any other question?"

"No, no, no, that's all. Thank you so much for stitching up my son."

The fashionable woman quickly said, taking the little boy's hand, and tried to leave, but suddenly turned back and asked, "But can I take this banana with me?"

"Sure!" Before Zhang Lianren could react, the banana was taken away.

The crowd cheered as they watched Laurent and Zhang Lianren, who looked like victors.

Laurent didn't know what to cheer for either.

But he certainly deserves to cheer.
