Chapter 319 The Advantages of Being a Second-Generation Doctor

"What's wrong with you?" the system NPC asked, somewhat puzzled.

Ji Xiang is someone who has experienced cancer firsthand and can empathize with it, so how could he be injured by a broken collarbone?

"Teacher, I was left lying on the road for more than half an hour as a secondary patient," Ji Xiang said.

Muttering something under his breath, Ji Xiang cursed under his breath, "Damn it."

"..." The system NPC remained silent for a moment, then laughed.

Secondary patients, that is, those who are not important in emergency care, would not receive immediate emergency care if there were more seriously ill patients present, given that Ji Xiang only had a clavicle fracture.

"How do you feel?" The system NPC didn't dwell on the term "minor patient," but instead asked Ji Xiang.

"The patient isn't being dramatic; he's genuinely in pain. Even the slightest movement feels like a knife scraping his bones; the pain is excruciating, forcing him into a forced position." Ji Xiang sighed. "That's true; nobody who comes to the hospital is comfortable."

"Good to know." The system NPC smiled. "Go get the surgery."

"it is good."

Ji Xiang left the operating room.

"Mr. Xu, this patient isn't easy to handle," Lu Kai said, mimicking Mr. Xu's facial analysis. "She was cursing her boyfriend quite smoothly just now, and I'm worried she might react negatively towards us..."

"Do you know how to apply a collarbone band?" Mr. Xu interrupted Lu Kai and asked.

Lu Kai hesitated.

The clavicle band is easy to apply, and he knows how, but the patient's recent irritability and Mr. Xu's talk about face reading made Lu Kai hesitate.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Kai still didn't say anything.

"Mr. Xu, I'll go," Ji Xiang said.

"Let's go." Mr. Xu glanced at Ji Xiang. "I'll definitely get the collarbone bandage done the first time. You guys keep an eye on it. You can come next time."

Mr. Xu took Ji Xiang and Lu Kai to the ward.

Just like Ji Xiang was experiencing the same thing, the patient sat on the bed, leaning against the wall in an odd posture, looking somewhat sullen.

Ji Xiang knew very well that this position should not be too painful, but sitting in this position for several or even more than ten hours at a time would definitely be extremely uncomfortable.

As I leaned against the wall, feeling a sense of empathy, I felt as if the wall was covered in burrs.

"The order has been submitted. We'll complete the pre-operative examinations in a bit," Mr. Xu said to the patient with a smile. "Don't worry, it's a minor surgery."

"Doctor, surgery..."

"I'll use cosmetic sutures to sew you up if you need them," Mr. Xu said, hitting the nail on the head. "But you need to understand, money is one thing, but even with cosmetic sutures, there won't be no scars at all. However, normal suturing will look like a centipede with many 'legs,' while the internal suture only has one line."

"Oh! Really!"

Upon hearing what Mr. Xu said, the female patient's mood immediately improved. She subconsciously moved, which aggravated the fractured clavicle, and she cried out in pain.

Ji Xiang felt slightly helpless. What were these patients thinking? Their bones were already broken, and they were still worried about scarring. Moreover, the female patient's smile seemed genuine; it was as if, in that instant, the news had overcome the pain of the fracture.

"Don't move, I'll put a clavicle strap on you. It'll be better if you don't have to support it with your right hand." Mr. Xu took out the clavicle strap and gently put it on the patient.

His movements were gentle and steady, and the patient did not cry out in pain.

"I saw it clearly." After finishing the procedure, Mr. Xu left the ward and said to Ji Xiang and Lu Kai, "Just like the wounded soldiers in TV dramas, when applying the clavicle bandage, be careful to move the patient's affected limb gently."

"I saw it clearly." Lu Kai nodded.

"You can't force it. Although a clavicle fracture isn't a big problem and it's just a minor surgery, there is still a possibility of damage to blood vessels and nerves."

"Mr. Xu, why did the patient, who was in so much pain and had a bad temper before, become much better after you applied the clavicle bandage?" Lu Kai asked.

"Maybe it's because I'm handsome."

"!!!"

"!!!"

"Looks are also a kind of anesthetic," Mr. Xu said matter-of-factly, running a hand through his hair.

Ji Xiang never imagined that anyone could be so narcissistic.

"Let's eat first, then we'll start the surgery." Mr. Xu didn't think he was narcissistic; he was just "telling the truth."

Soon the deliveryman brought the food. Mr. Xu looked quiet and handsome, but he wolfed down his food incredibly fast.

"Mr. Xu, why are you eating so fast?" Lu Kai had only eaten a third of his food when Mr. Xu had already put down his chopsticks. He asked in surprise.

"You come from urology, so you rarely see emergencies," said General Manager Xu. "Surgery, urology, and vascular surgery are relatively quiet departments, so there are few emergencies."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, "Don't argue with me. It's really rare for a resident like Mr. Wu to encounter three or five testicular torsion cases in one night shift."

"So eat as soon as you can. You can't keep a patient waiting if you're only halfway through your meal. You have to deal with patients quickly, otherwise you won't be able to finish your food when you get back."

"Our orthopedics department is considered relatively good, since we don't have any major emergency resuscitations. In thoracic surgery and neurosurgery, a resuscitation can last all night, and many of their doctors and nurses are abnormally obese because they eat quickly."

"Oh, oh, oh." Lu Kai nodded repeatedly.

However, Xu Leyu's luck does seem to be much better than that of Wu, the urologist, as no more emergency patients are being brought in.

About three hours later, the operating room staff came to take the patient to the operating table.

This is much more pleasant than the experience of feeling the same way myself, Ji Xiang thought to himself.

Mr. Xu kept checking his watch, occasionally glancing towards the ward entrance, as if searching for something.

The patient was taken away, and he didn't say much before taking Ji Xiang and Lu Kai onto the stage.

"Ji Xiang, guess who General Manager Xu is looking for?"

Taking advantage of a private moment, Lu Kai asked Ji Xiang with a smile.

"I don't know." Ji Xiang didn't notice this; he had been simulating the surgery based on the fracture and breakage seen in the imaging.

Although the surgery was not difficult, Ji Xiang's skill level was too high. His idea of ​​a perfect surgery was completely different from that of Lu Kai and even General Manager Xu.

"I guess we're waiting for Zhao Tianjiao," Lu Kai said. "Being a second-generation doctor still has an advantage. I'm at the starting line, but he's already in Rome."

Ji Xiang didn't say anything, but just patted Lu Kai on the shoulder.

"Ji Xiang, do you think being a medical examiner has a future?" Lu Kai suddenly asked a question he didn't want to ask.

Ji Xiang still remembers that this was a suggestion that Dr. Wu, the urologist, gave to Lu Kai.

"I think it's fine," Ji Xiang said. "The larger the tertiary hospital, the more it needs escorts. Of course, if you were to work as an escort, the tasks would likely be more varied."

"Tsk tsk, what a top student, even his words are so insightful." The chubby Lu Kai said with a grin, "Ji Xiang, someone in my area wants to have partial kidney removal for cancer, can they come directly to you?"

"Okay...you bring it, and I'll take it to Director Liu." Ji Xiang thought for a moment and gave Lu Kai a definite answer.

Lu Kai was overjoyed.
