Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353: Chapter 184: Truly One of Us, Electrocautery Hemostasis_3

This was just a preliminary understanding Li Jingsheng had of him.

After repairing the severed ligament and joint capsule, all that was left was to suture the dermal layer.

Dr. Qin had his eyes on this task for quite some time.

At this moment, he readily took it on without hesitation.

Ruan Xiaoqin was quite willing to step aside. Suturing wasn’t his strong suit, and letting Dr. Qin handle it meant he could avoid embarrassment.

Doctors, while eager to seize practice opportunities, don’t rush at every chance they get.

When faced with something they’re not proficient at, they instinctively play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

"Xiaoxin, which type of suture do you plan to use?"

Professor Wu glanced at the clock as he asked.

"Can I use interrupted sutures?"

Dr. Qin responded.

"Interrupted sutures can be used, but they’re too slow."

Professor Wu rejected the idea.

Suturing at this location on the palm was inherently at a tricky angle.

Using interrupted sutures, with Qin Fei’s skill level, it would be considered good fortune if he could finish in half an hour.

"Then... can we use continuous sutures? They’re quicker."

"Definitely not. Using this method on the palm would result in an unstable wound and may lead to unsightly scars. The patient is so young and a female; we’d undoubtedly receive poor reviews."

Professor Wu objected again.

"Then it seems like only subcutaneous sutures are left. But my technique isn’t very strong; I’m a bit worried about screwing it up." Dr. Qin considered himself quite proficient in suturing, at least compared to the interns and resident doctors present.

It’s just that subcutaneous sutures are hard to learn and improve upon, despite his diligent practice, his skills were still wanting.

Seeing that Dr. Qin couldn’t handle the suturing task, neither could Dr. Ruan, and Professor Wu momentarily felt like there was no one available at his disposal.

Remembering Li Jingsheng’s outstanding performance in suturing.

The square knot he tied earlier was particularly eye-catching, certainly at a Master Level.

"Dr. Li, how is your subcutaneous suture technique?"

If Li Jingsheng was also unable, Professor Wu might have to step in himself to ’embarrass’ himself.

At that time, Professor Wu would like to show everyone his rudimentary subcutaneous suture skills.

"My subcutaneous suture skills aren’t excellent, but I think handling this wound should be no problem."

Li Jingsheng confidently replied.

"Alright, let’s have you suture the patient so everyone can get off work sooner."

Professor Wu made a snap decision, again relying on Li Jingsheng as a strong player within the group.

He thought to himself, next time for surgery, if possible, it would be best to call upon that young Li again. He would be a ’free and capable helper.’

"Dr. Qin, I’m really sorry, but you might have to wait for another opportunity to train."

Li Jingsheng said with a smile.

"Hmph, don’t get cocky, it’s just subcutaneous suturing. I’ll practice hard, and I’ll definitely surpass you."

Dr. Qin’s family was wealthy and could afford ample pigskin for practice.

But he seemed to have forgotten one thing.

He was currently serving as the chief resident, with little time to go home. The time available for surgical skills practice was scarce.

Li Jingsheng didn’t engage in further banter and chose to demonstrate with his skills instead.
