Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 688

Chapter 688: Chapter 316: No Jokes, Let Strength Speak_3

To minimize harm to the patient as much as possible, keep the damage to the lowest level possible.

"Do we need to sever the posterior end of the patient’s fifth or sixth rib?"

Li Jingsheng asked Director Zhang.

"Let’s not cut it for now! If the surgery doesn’t go smoothly, we can consider it then."

"Alright, I’ll enter the chest cavity through the fifth intercostal space then!"

After asking, Li Jingsheng immediately took the knife to open the patient’s chest cavity.

He wielded the knife with ease and speed, displaying great composure and remarkable proficiency, full of strong confidence.

The entire process was exceptionally smooth.

"Please help me retract the incision in the skin layer."

Li Jingsheng looked at the first assistant, who was still stunned.

"Oh, oh, okay!"

The first assistant snapped out of his daze after being reminded.

Witnessing Li Jingsheng’s surgery for the first time, he was amazed.

The first assistant secretly compared his own skills with Li Jingsheng’s and immediately felt the enormous gap.

He was very curious that although Li Jingsheng was so young and worked in the rather aggressive field of orthopedic surgery, how he had honed such excellent surgical skills.

Amidst his curiosity, Li Jingsheng swiftly finished his second incision.

After cutting through the skin layer, the subcutaneous tissue layer beneath was also severed.

Then the third, fourth, and fifth incisions followed.

Li Jingsheng demonstrated to the first, second, and third assistants what it means to be fast and precise.

After cutting through the pleura layer, the hilum was already exposed.

Before surgery, Li Jingsheng not only thoroughly examined the surgical procedure sent by Director Zhang but also meticulously studied the size and location of the tumor.

He never fights battles without preparation.

Especially after running a clinic for more than a year, going through rigorous training, he became more meticulous, cautious, and comprehensive in his actions.

This was reflected during this surgery.

The displayed comprehensive competence was exactly what an associate director or chief physician with decades of experience would possess.

If it had to be described, the term "thorough" captures it well.

"The blood loss is very minimal! This is the fastest chest opening I’ve seen in my years in the industry. Director Zhang insisted on having Dr. Li perform the surgery, and indeed, his foresight was correct."

The circulating nurse, shocked, quickly resorted to complimenting Director Zhang to remedy her previous strong opposition.

She was the one who objected most vigorously against Li Jingsheng handling the operation.

Disagreeing directly with Director Zhang was a no-go, but the words she said were full of doubts about Director Zhang’s decision. Now seeing Li Jingsheng’s amazing surgical skills, she naturally wanted to mend her relationship with Director Zhang.

This is basic workplace survival strategy.

"The Director is truly wise! Honestly, my palms were all sweaty earlier because I was afraid Dr. Li might mess up. After all, he is so young."

The first assistant also broke into an unprecedented smile.

Of course, scolding the main surgeon and reprimanding a resident trainee are entirely different in tone.

"Dr. Li, after the surgery, I need to consult you on how to practice the incision technique. My incisions have always been a weak point, and every time I grip the knife, Director Zhang jokes that it could trigger a heart attack."

The first assistant said half-jokingly.

"Lucky I don’t have heart disease, otherwise I would have been resuscitated by you numerous times. You guys should take the time to communicate with Xiaoli more, that would be quite beneficial."

Director Zhang’s words amused everyone.

The atmosphere in the operating room was relatively relaxed. In any surgery, as long as the patient’s condition is stable, the mood remains light.

Directors even often joke around with nurses and their subordinate doctors, sometimes telling dirty jokes.

"Honestly, I haven’t really practiced. Perhaps it’s because I played with mud a lot as a child in my rural hometown!"

Li Jingsheng told a lie, effectively covering up.

His exquisite incision technique was entirely due to point enhancements.

He certainly couldn’t replicate his attribute panel for others.

This was his unique secret technique.

"Wow, so playing with mud can train surgical skills! Alas, it seems we lost from the starting line; no wonder Dr. Li is so young yet has such advanced incision skills."

The doctors actually believed this tale.

"Believe it or not, in General Surgery, there’s a second pillar who started with wood carving as a child, and now stands as a pillar of the department."

"You mean Director Ru Qingqing? She truly is a role model in our surgical field. Female surgeons face certain disadvantages inherently, but she emerged at such a young age, proving her prowess and earning genuine admiration."
