Healing Doctor

Chapter 323 Perfect Teamwork, Like an Old Married Couple

Xu Leyu didn't delay; after making a phone call, he took the patient to the MRI room for the examination.

After the patient was taken inside, Xu Leyu stood in front of the machine and asked, "Dr. Xiao Ji, what are your thoughts?"

"When the upper arm is abducted to the extreme, an external force is applied to the upper arm. The upper arm rotates around the humeral head and uses the acromion as a lever to pry the femoral head out of the joint capsule and below the glenoid fossa."

"That's right!" Xu Leyu clenched his right fist and slammed it into his left palm. "If that's the case, ordinary repositioning techniques won't work."

"It's not impossible, but we'll need anesthesia," Ji Xiang added.

"Yes, infiltration injection of anesthetic in multiple directions within and around the joint cavity is feasible. If that doesn't work, we'll have to operate openly."

"We probably won't need to. Let's look at the X-ray first. There's no fracture, and it's confirmed to be a vertical dislocation. Then we can discuss how to reduce it."

Ji Xiang and Xu Leyu were chatting enthusiastically, while Zhao Tianjiao stood to the side unable to get a word in edgewise, her jealousy burning fiercely.

This doesn't look like a clinical resident chief and a resident trainee chatting; it's clearly two resident chiefs discussing strategies for a difficult case.

Moreover, Xu Leyu clearly treated Ji Xiang as a doctor on equal footing with him, completely unlike the way he would treat a resident trainee.

"I'm the real protagonist!" Zhao Tianjiao cried out in his heart.

But when he opened his eyes, he could see Ji Xiang and Xu Leyu, the CEO, standing side by side in front of the computer in the MRI operating room, whispering to each other.

衰！

That's really awful!

In Zhao Tianjiao's eyes, Ji Xiang's back view was filled with an evil aura, like a great demon king standing in front of him.

That's my spot, my own!

Zhao Tianjiao was screaming in his heart.

A few minutes later, the image appeared.

"Just as I thought!" Xu Leyu exclaimed excitedly, "No fracture, it's a rare vertical shoulder dislocation!"

"Looks like we'll use anesthesia," Ji Xiang replied calmly.

"Damn it, what a show-off," Zhao Tianjiao thought to himself.

"Dr. Xiao Ji, have you done this before?" Xu Leyu asked.

"I saw two cases during my internship."

"That's great, let's do it together in a bit." Xu Leyu seemed to have forgotten about Zhao Tianjiao's presence and invited Ji Xiang to operate it with him.

"it is good."

Listening to the conversation between CEO Xu Leyu and the Great Demon King Ji Xiang, Zhao Tianjiao was already burned to ashes by jealousy.

After taking the patient back to the ward, Xu Leyu didn't let the resident trainees explain to the patient's family. Instead, he personally called the patient and his coworkers to the doctor's office and carefully explained the MRI scans to them.

To make himself clearer, he made a few gestures, just like Ji Xiang had just done.

Zhao Tianjiao was furious.

I am clearly the chosen one, I am clearly the protagonist template, so how come I have been overtaken by Ji Xiang again!

Zhao Tianjiao would accept losing in exams or competitions. But this was the orthopedics department; he'd been there for three months and knew everyone inside and out. Ji Xiang, on the other hand, had only just arrived!

When Mingming was having internal fixation surgery for her clavicle fracture, Mr. Xu called her, but she was focused on studying for her exam and had her phone on silent, so she missed the call.

But before they knew it, Ji Xiang had stolen their house.

Damn it!

After explaining the procedure and signing the preoperative informed consent form, Xu Leyu and Ji Xiang prepared the necessary equipment to perform the repositioning on the patient.

Because it involved a rather rare situation, Mr. Xu was very cautious.

He glanced at Ji Xiang and said, "Dilute 5 mL of lidocaine hydrochloride with physiological saline at a 1:1 ratio."

"Mr. Xu, let me do it." Ji Xiang knew that Xu Leyu didn't do similar operations very often, so he simply took over the job.

After all, he had performed dozens of surgeries in the system's operating room and was already very familiar with the procedures. Ji Xiang wouldn't feel comfortable entrusting the task to Xu Leyu.

Ji Xiang habitually used a 5ml syringe but switched to a 1ml needle.

Although it's difficult to inject 1ml of medication with a needle, it can alleviate the patient's pain a little, so Ji Xiang is willing to go to the extra trouble.

Ji Xiang performed infiltration anesthesia in the joint cavity and around the deltoid muscle. His technique was very simple and ordinary, and Xu Leyu didn't pay much attention to it after glancing at it.

With his skill level, he couldn't possibly appreciate the subtleties of Ji Xiang's operation.

About four minutes later, the patient's right shoulder pain subsided.

The anesthesia was very effective, Xu Leyu admitted.

The two stood beside the patient, and Xu Leyu glanced at Ji Xiang again.

Ji Xiang didn't stand on ceremony; he gently pulled the affected limb outward and upward along the direction of the upper arm deformity.

"Here," Ji Xiang said to General Manager Xu.

Mr. Xu was no novice; he immediately understood what Ji Xiang meant.

He pushed the humeral head from under the armpit towards the glenoid fossa, while Ji Xiang simultaneously pulled and adducted the upper arm to reposition it.

The two worked together seamlessly, and Zhao Tianjiao was furious, as if he had been cuckolded.

"Click~"

A crisp sound rang out.

Xu Leyu was delighted and comforted, while Zhao Tianjiao continued to scoff.

I had just tried so hard but couldn't hear a "click" sound, but Ji Xiang solved the problem so quickly after he went up.

Seriously damn good!

"Okay, try moving around a bit," Ji Xiang said to the patient.

"So fast?" The patient was taken aback.

"Okay, try moving around a bit, but don't do anything too strenuous, just enough," Ji Xiang instructed.

The patient, filled with doubt, tentatively raised his right arm.

My right arm, which was completely powerless just moments ago and felt like it wasn't even my own limb, was completely healed in an instant!

The patient moved in disbelief, then moved again, as if reborn.

"Okay, don't move for now." Ji Xiang pressed the patient's side down and began the final examination.

After successful reduction, passive movement of the shoulder joint was normal, the glenoid cavity was full, the square shoulder deformity disappeared, and the Dugas sign was negative.

"Mr. Xu, it's done." Ji Xiang said with a smile.

"Not bad." Xu Leyu was quite satisfied. "I'll take the patient to get an X-ray."

Mr. Xu was very cautious, and Ji Xiang didn't say anything either. He told him to take a look if he wanted to, and that would be enough to confirm it.

Although there was no system task involved in treating this patient, Ji Xiang was still very happy, especially when he heard the "click" sound at the end, which sounded just like the completion of a system task, crisp and pleasant.

"I'll tidy up a bit." Ji Xiang, wearing gloves, took over the finishing touches.

Mr. Xu was a little embarrassed. He chuckled, but didn't stand on ceremony and took the patient to get tested.

As Ji Xiang cleaned up the mess, he carefully recalled the rare disease he had just experienced.

"Ji Xiang, you're amazing!" Lu Kai didn't leave; he helped Ji Xiang pack up. Lu Kai laughed, "You didn't see Zhao Tianjiao's face after the successful repositioning—it was absolutely awful!"

"No, it won't happen." Ji Xiang smiled.

"Don't overestimate people's abilities," Lu Kai cautioned, then realized, "Ji Xiang, there's no need to be so cautious."

"Caution? What's there to be cautious about?"

"Talking behind people's backs," Lu Kai said. "I just can't stand Zhao Tianjiao. Look at him, does he really think the hospital belongs to him?"
