Healing Doctor

Chapter 9 How many years of training did it take to develop such hand speed with such powerful arms?

"Old Mo, look at you guys." The nurse said disdainfully after hearing Ji Xiang and the patient making suggestive remarks.

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Don't you know that you become like those you associate with?" the nurse laughed. "You've learned all this nonsense so quickly. If you ask me, your urology department is a big dye vat; any good kid who comes here will be corrupted."

Ji Xiang smiled but did not explain.

Yesterday, when I heard Colonel Wang say those words to the patient lying on the operating table, I thought the same thing as the nurse.

But after experiencing being a patient himself, Ji Xiang understood the significance of those words.

Hearing these seemingly absurd words can calm a patient down a little.

Even if saying a lot of things only has a tiny effect, Ji Xiang is willing to do it.

It's hard to understand something like this unless you experience it firsthand.

Sure enough, the patient's emotions quickly calmed down because of Ji Xiang's "joke".

Ji Xiang patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, the surgery will be quick. You'll feel a little uncomfortable when they give you the anesthesia, but it's bearable."

"Doctor, does it hurt?"

"There will be just a tiny bit." Ji Xiang squinted, a warm smile flowing from between his mask and hat. He raised his hand and gestured with his right index finger and thumb. "Just a tiny bit of pain. But to be precise, it's not pain, but a bloated, uncomfortable feeling. Don't worry, Professor Mo is very skilled."

The patient nodded vigorously and closed his eyes.

Although Ji Xiang tried his best to comfort him with words, which eased his tension slightly, it was impossible for him to be completely free of tension.

Disinfect and lay out sterile sheets.

Ji Xiang stood in the assistant's position, reached out to help him up, and exposed the surgical area.

Professor Mo Chenggui held a syringe in his hand, his mind drifting back to what Colonel Wang had told him about Ji Xiang's cooperation in the surgery.

He didn't say anything, but handed the syringe to Ji Xiang, then reached out to support him, exposing the area where local anesthesia was to be administered.

Professor Mo watched Ji Xiang's movements intently.

Although it's just local anesthesia, he can stop it at any time if Ji Xiang doesn't operate it well; there absolutely cannot be any mistakes.

The nurse, who was about to leave after tidying up the surgical instruments, saw this scene and said somewhat unhappily, "Old Mo, there are 12 briefcases today. If you miss lunch, you'll have to treat me to a big meal."

If it were a typical resident trainee, faced with such a generous professor, or being struck by a windfall, they would be overjoyed but also extremely cautious.

Ke Jixiang is a man who was hit by the system.

In the system space, after experiencing the same thing, Ji Xiang consulted the system NPC about the key points of local anesthesia for circumcision and did targeted training.

With 9 points of endurance, enough to run several full marathons, Ji Xiang's skill level is rapidly improving.

He is now a Level 4 doctor in this procedure, and has system bonuses, including +3 to hand speed and a 20% reduction in error rate.

Not only that, but the injection in the head during the process of empathizing with him almost made Ji Xiang's soul fly away.

Putting himself in others' shoes, Ji Xiang didn't want to suffer himself, and naturally he didn't want his patients to suffer either.

Although it is just a "small" local infiltration anesthesia, the intricacies involved are actually quite complex once you delve deeper into it.

Fortunately, the system NPC has detailed solutions, and Ji Xiang has mastered them all during the newbie gift pack period.

Taking the syringe handed to him by Professor Mo, which had been fitted with a 5ml needle, Ji Xiang pressed the syringe to an extremely low angle against his skin.

A sharp, pointed syringe pierces the skin.

Professor Mo's eyebrows twitched.

This kid is something else! Professor Mo didn't say anything, but he was surprised.

He also went from being a novice to where he is now, and he has seen many novice doctors perform anesthesia, with the most common method being to insert the needle straight up and down.

But you'll discover the secrets of the needle insertion angle after doing it a lot.

The anesthetic drug should be infiltrated and penetrate as extensively as possible; the swelling of the skin caused by the injected anesthetic drug is significant.

However, the details vary greatly depending on the patient, and since it is a "minor" surgery under local anesthesia, no one has studied it carefully.

Everything depends on the accumulation of clinical experience, and how much one can learn depends more on one's own talent.

Professor Mo is considered quite talented. Although he isn't the "Prince of Leather Bags" in the provincial capital, he is still one of the top figures in this field.

but!

As he watched Ji Xiang's technique, his pupils gradually constricted, as if a small artery in the pons had ruptured and was bleeding, compressing his central nervous system.

Yesterday, Mo Chenggui did not agree with Colonel Wang's praise of the new trainees, but now... he still does not agree.

Colonel Wang has terrible taste!

Is this a good thing?

Putting the surgery aside, Ji Xiang did an exceptionally good job with the anesthesia alone!

His description of Ji Xiang couldn't even come close to Ji Xiang's skill.

Although it is just the simplest surface needle infiltration anesthesia, the simpler the procedure, the more it can demonstrate a doctor's skill level.

Even Mo Chenggui, one of the most skilled urologists in the provincial capital, couldn't fully understand Ji Xiang's operation. There were some seemingly casual but meaningful parts that Mo Chenggui could only barely discern.

As for why Ji Xiang did this, Mo Chenggui understood some of it, but not all of it.

The man fell silent after seeing this.

In less than a minute, the anesthetic took effect, and Ji Xiang, with the mindset of an assistant, stood aside and waited for Mo Chenggui to perform the surgery.

Although the system had assigned long-term main quests, Ji Xiang knew the rules and how to conduct himself. He did what he was supposed to do, and if the teacher didn't ask him to do something, he would just wait quietly.

But Mo Chenggui turned around and switched places with Ji Xiang, back to back.

"Come here," Professor Mo said in a low voice.

The nurse rolled her eyes so hard they looked like mothballs, and stormed out, slamming the door behind her.

Ji Xiang didn't stand on ceremony and picked up the scalpel to begin the surgery.

……

……

"Old Mo is really going too far, Head Nurse!" The nurse complained to the head nurse as she went out.

"What's wrong? There are a lot of bags today, but Lao Mo's surgery is very fast, so it won't delay you from picking up your child," the head nurse said with a smile.

"He... he made a resident physician perform the surgery!"

"Oh," the head nurse said calmly, unfazed. "Logically speaking, it's only right for resident trainees to have clinical experience. If you don't let them do it, and I don't let them do it, what's the point of them coming for residency training?"

The nurse's face grew even more distressed as she listened to her head nurse begin to preach.

Everyone can talk about grand principles, but I've never seen a doctor actually follow those principles wholeheartedly in supervising resident trainees.

This has nothing to do with being overly protective of technology; that's a much higher level of issue.

Resident trainees are trained in three-month cycles. By the time you get to know them well, they've already left and can't help with the work anymore. It's a waste of time and effort, so what's the point?

To put it bluntly, under the current rules, resident trainees are all ungrateful wolves.

The key issue is that Mo Chenggui's surgery was too slow, which made me late picking up my child at noon!

The nurse muttered a vicious curse to herself, "Smoke is rising from Professor Mo's ancestral graves."

"Be content," the head nurse casually consoled. "We nurses are treated like stepmothers; the work we do is worse than a donkey's job, and nobody treats us like human beings. We can only grumble a bit about what Old Mo wants to do; if we really cause a scene, will he listen to us?"

"Being able to switch to the outpatient clinic for long day shifts is already very good. In my next life, if I still study medicine, I remember to drink less of the Meng Po soup when I drink it, and I remember never to be a nurse."

The head nurse suddenly changed her tone, prompting a flood of complaints from the nurses.

"No nurses are allowed at the nurses' station, no items are allowed on the bedside table, the sheets must be wrinkle-free, no one is allowed to lie in an empty bed, no chargers are allowed in the sockets, and there must be no trash in the trash cans..."

"Head Nurse, tell me, is this something a human being would do? It's one thing for the patients to cause us trouble, but the nursing department is even worse..."

The head nurse glared sternly at the nurse.

Just as he was about to reprimand her to prevent her from talking badly about the nursing department behind his back, he suddenly heard Mo Chenggui's voice coming from the operating room.

"Pick up the patient! Where is he/she?!"

"The Mexicans are putting resident trainees on outpatient surgery; they're all so unreliable."

The nurse hadn't reacted yet, and continued to grumble in her own world, feeling wronged.

"Let the resident trainees do it? So quickly?" The head nurse was taken aback and asked in return.

"Uh...right, how come the surgery was done so quickly!" The nurse was taken aback.

He just chatted with the head nurse for a few minutes during his outpatient clinic and surgery, and the surgery was over. Was he really a resident surgeon?

impossible!

It's impossible for a resident trainee to have such a fast hand speed. Not only is it impossible for a resident trainee, but even if Mo Chenggui did it himself, he couldn't possibly be that fast.

It would take years of superhuman strength to achieve such speed.

The head nurse pushed open the door and went in, and saw that the surgical area was wrapped with oil gauze and pressure bandages, and the bandaging technique was very skillful.

Although it's just a bandage, it has a pleasing appearance.

"You really finished? You're amazing, Lao Mo!" the head nurse praised with ulterior motives.

Mo Chenggui's pupils shrank even further, the blackness almost squeezed together, as if he were casting a white pupil spell.

Ji Xiang lowered his head. Although he vaguely felt that something was wrong, he didn't want to care about these office practices and focused on taking the patient to the hospital.

There are still many things to explain to the patients, and Ji Xiang had already made up his mind after personally experiencing what it's like to be a patient.

After lifting the patient into the vehicle, Ji Xiang explained the post-operative precautions to the patient as he walked out.

Watching Ji Xiang's retreating figure, Mo Chenggui remained silent, like a stone.

"Old Mo, wake up," the head nurse said with a smile. "What's wrong?"

"Sigh, I didn't perform the surgery." After the patient left, Mo Chenggui ignored the little schemes of the head nurse in the outpatient operating room and spoke frankly.

At the same time, Mo Chenggui's pupils began to return to normal, flashing with a dazzling light.

"Did that resident trainee really do it? Old Mo, you must be joking. At this speed, I suspect you were kicked out of bed by some girl last night and held back all night, which is why your hand speed exploded."

"..." Mo Chenggui remained silent.

"Hey, Lao Mo, don't be so joking. You're a grown man, why are you so clueless?" The head nurse noticed that Professor Mo was acting strangely today and immediately stopped him. "Whose child is that? The surgery... it couldn't have been done by him. Is your surgical skill improving by leaps and bounds in middle age? Amazing!"

"It was definitely him who did it," Mo Chenggui said definitively. "If you don't believe me, you can follow along during the surgery."

When the second patient was brought in, the head nurse didn't leave either. She and the nurses on duty quickly tidied up and began the second surgery.

However, even after everything was prepared and Mo Chenggui was about to disinfect, Ji Xiang still didn't come in.

"I don't know how the surgery went, but the kid's ability to slack off is truly astounding. It's like a professor from the capital performing a scalpel procedure—did he expect you to disinfect the wound before he started?"
