Great doctors start with pediatrics

"Laurent, this is a special case. It's best to use continuous overlock stitching for this child. Are you skilled at that?"

"If you're not good at it, why don't you do the stitching?"

Just as people have a thousand faces, so too do sparrows have a thousand sparrows.

Even if someone has excellent suturing skills, they may not be able to fully utilize them.

Generally speaking, simple interrupted sutures are of course commonly used.

However, the character "回" has four ways of being written, and seven different suturing techniques can be used in this type of surgery.

While simple interrupted suturing is generally adequate, other techniques may be necessary in some cases.

"Compared with simple interrupted sutures, continuous locking sutures have a clearer advantage: fewer needle insertions, finer postoperative scars, and very few suture knots."

However, because if the suture breaks at one point, the entire suture will come loose, a high degree of tightness is required. If this cannot be achieved, it's better to have a teacher do it.

This time, there was no show of force; Zhang Lianren spoke from the heart.

After all, if something were to go wrong, he would be the attending physician. Even if he didn't want to pay for Laurent's little story about the orphanage, he would still have to think about himself.

Laurent thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I'm quite skilled at this."

"If we're going to use it anyway, then let's use 4-0 cable... Ah!"

Before Zhang Lianren could react, he saw Laurent pick up the 5-0 suture thread.

In medicine, the diameter of sutures is usually expressed by a numerical code.

4-0 sutures, which can be called size 0 sutures according to domestic standards, have a minimum diameter of only 0.15mm and are often used in the beauty industry.

This thin thread is so fine that you might not even see it if it falls to the ground, and you can easily tear it if you hold it in your hand.

Therefore, its tensile strength, that is, the ability of the material to resist fracture when subjected to tension, is much weaker than that of ordinary wire.

The wire diameter of 5-0 has been reduced to 0.1mm.

These tiny sutures require needles to be included with the product at the factory, and they must be packaged separately in special packaging.

This demonstrates its stringent technical requirements.

Using it in such a delicate place, although it complies with regulations, can easily cause it to crack if you're not careful.

"Laurent, is this really okay?"

Zhang Lianren was a little nervous.

Laurent's eloquent speech earlier made him feel that Laurent really had this ability.

After all, Laurent had used 4-0 sutures before.

But Chang Lien-jen still feels nervous.

"No problem," Laurent said confidently. "I heard Little Sparrow's call; he can definitely handle the 4-0 sutures."

Laurent began stitching with certainty.

Zhang Lianren and the other two stared wide-eyed.

"Yes, it really works!"

Zhang Lianren couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Although he is capable of using 5-0 sutures if he goes to the operating table.

For a seasoned doctor, a 5-0 line might only be 10 points above the passing grade.

However, from a student's perspective, a 5-0 rating for the cable is more than enough to get a perfect score.

Moreover, Laurent's suturing technique remained incredibly smooth and efficient, something even Director Zhang himself couldn't do.

He's actually quite skilled.

Recalling Laurent's words, Director Zhang felt he had been deceived.

Is this considered skilled enough?

This move, compared to the previous simple intermittent stitching, not only didn't appear clumsy, but was actually more elegant.

What kind of person would treat suturing as surgery?!

If it weren't for the worry, Zhang Lianren would have even thought that Laurent could have stitched up the frenulum.

However, Laurent's suturing speed was not fast this time.

Generally speaking, continuous locking sutures should be performed as quickly as possible, provided that precise tissue alignment, thorough hemostasis, and no tension are ensured.

He only needs to tie one knot at the beginning and one at the end of the process, which is the foundation of his speed.

However, the child's neurological development is not as advanced as that of an adult. Laurent combined the reward of skills and knowledge, deliberately slowed down the speed, and aligned them one by one.

But I became very proficient in every skill I acquired.

Laurent experienced no lag throughout the entire procedure.

In Zhang Lianren's eyes, it was just another educational scheme.

They only saw it clearly when Laurent stopped.

The stitches are neat and the stitch spacing is even.

There are no issues with the tightness or looseness.

He's a student, and he's using 5-0 lines.

Similarly, Zhang Lianren doesn't think he can do better than Laurent.

"You...you're awesome."

Zhang Lianren exclaimed, "No, I have to go out and ask the child's mother later if I can take a picture for future teaching materials."

"Even the carvings aren't as delicate as yours! Were you the Weaver Girl in your past life?"

He no longer cares about any show of force or being a medical student or doctor.

"With your skills, you could easily make a living in cosmetic surgery and not starve. You'd even earn a good amount of money."

"How about I invest some money in you, and we open a beauty salon?"

Chang Lien-jen has already started fantasizing about Final Fantasy.

Laurent smiled and shook his head.

What is this all about? This is a bit outrageous.

But through Zhang Lianren's reaction, he could also see the value of master-level skills.

More than a dozen surgeries were performed in one afternoon.

Laurent received prompts in his mind from time to time.

[Received gratitude from patient's family member Wang Zuoqin]

[Unlock Skill: Continuous Stitching Technique (Master Level)]

The skill has synchronized neural and muscle memory.

[Received gratitude from patient's family member Chen Lingxiu]

[Unlock Skill: Figure-Eight Stitching Technique (Internal) (Master Level)]

The skill has synchronized neural and muscle memory.

[Received gratitude from patient's family member Zhang Wanyu]

[Unlock Skill: Figure-Eight Stitching Technique (External) (Master Level)]

The skill has synchronized neural and muscle memory.

Get stronger! Laurent continues to grow stronger.

After performing eleven surgeries in a single day, Laurent gained nothing but skills.

He felt that he was unmatched in the entire field of surgical suturing.

Of course, the most important thing is that, apart from the reward of the sewing skill, Laurent didn't know much more about sewing, otherwise he would have discovered that he was still incredibly powerful.

It was under these circumstances that Laurent also summarized some patterns.

After the surgery, the green light above the children's heads did indeed dim a bit.

Surgery and anesthesia can also temporarily increase the burden on the body, making people less healthy.

This color judgment was made after Laurent made repeated comparisons.

The contrast was between the carefree, vibrant green light above his head and the dim green light above Zhang Lianren and the two other resident trainees.

Laurent would first compare the child's light with the green light emitted by the four people in the operating room, and then see whose light the child's light was closest to.

Although it wasn't a particularly powerful ability, Laurent continued to summarize his findings.

As for receiving gratitude, in theory, he performed eleven surgeries today, and Laurent personally sutured each one.

After eleven surgeries, I only received five rewards, and those were all concentrated after the first five surgeries.

Laurent guessed that either the patients' families had "forgotten" to "express their gratitude," or they had reached a certain limit and could not give out rewards for the time being.

The question is whether to focus on quantitative or qualitative breakthroughs next; we still need to learn from experience.

but……

"Congratulations, we've finally wrapped up."

Laurent only needs to sew all day, and he still looks radiant. Sometimes he even teaches children to squat on bridges and play in the wild.

After eleven surgeries, Zhang Lianren and his two classmates, who were both fat and thin, were almost exhausted just from standing.

The two students, one fat and one thin, completely abandoned the idea of ​​competing for the surgery opportunity.

I just want to... get off work quickly.
