Chapter 104 Beauty Scar
I sincerely thank you for the elementary treasure box you sent me. Ling Ran hasn’t taken it for a while.
Before this, the "heartfelt thanks" that Ling Ran received were only obtained when the boss was around.
On the surface, it seemed that the boss praised Ling Ran, letting the patient know that "my surgery was super successful", and then Ling Ran received a treasure chest with sincere gratitude.
Ever since the Tang method started, Ling Ran's patients could only come in and out.
The surgery to suture the flexor tendon took a long time to recover, and the final result, let alone the patient, the boss did not dare to say accurately at first. Ling Ran followed the ward rounds, so naturally he could not express his heartfelt thanks.
The sudden appearance of the elementary treasure chest made Ling Ran fall into deep thought.
The patient in front of me has not yet been discharged from the hospital, and has actually begun to give birth to "heartfelt thanks." Thinking about it carefully, when I received heartfelt thanks before, the patient was not discharged from the hospital.
So... Is it just that I have been doing fewer ward rounds recently?
Ling Ran couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and began to criticize himself in his heart: I was distracted by the task of practicing the Tang method. In order to increase the number of surgeries, I handed over all the ward rounds to Lu Wenbin. This is really inappropriate.
Okay. Although the patients treated by ordinary attendings are also on the ward rounds of residents, am I an ordinary attending? Why should I compare with ordinary attendings?
Ling Ran touched his chin and continued to think.
This "sincere thank you", without the endorsement of a big boss, just take it when you meet, which actually explains the problem.
First of all, a "sincere thank you" will most likely have to be met in person to get it.
Secondly, this does not negate the importance of big boss endorsement.
"Doctor Ling, is my hand recovering right?" The patient played with the green dates till the water came out. He still felt a little guilty when he didn't get a response from Ling Ran.
"How do you think you are recovering?" Ling Ran also wanted to know more about the mechanism of "sincere gratitude", so he asked one more question.
The patient became even more flustered and said, "Why do you sound like the teacher is asking, how did you do in the exam?"
Ling Ran was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "Although we need to do another hand function analysis to find out, judging from the movements you just made, there should be no big problem."
The patient immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "That's good, that's good. Oh, you don't know, I was really scared just now. By the way, I did an analysis of hand function, and the result is excellent."
"How's the grip? Can you use your strength?"
"It will come in handy. I can carry 10 kilograms in a box." The patient herriedly put down the green dates that had been ravaged for a long time.
When he said this, Ling Ran immediately picked up the number and said, "You are Wang Zhi, right? He is 46 years old. When he was helping to install glass at home, his right hand was punctured through the flexor tendons of the index finger and middle finger in the ii area. I looked at it.
Your recovery report from last week."
How had he seen this person before, but Ling Ran had already seen the case many times.
"Yes, yes, I'm right." Wang Zhi said happily: "Doctor Ling seems to remember it. Thank you for sewing so well. I asked other people about it, and they all said that my hand
It healed so quickly and its functions recovered so well, I’m really lucky.”
Ling Ran smiled and said nothing. According to Yun Yi, Wang Zhi's injury was relatively minor, but... there are always medical issues. However, minor injuries may not necessarily lead to a perfect recovery.
From this point of view, Wang Zhi's luck is indeed good.
If another doctor does the suturing, he might be able to get an excellent result, but it will be difficult to recover so quickly, and there is also a gap between excellent and excellent. The gold wing technique used by the Japanese requires only
At a higher level, different evaluation methods have different focuses.
Wang Zhi's hand function has almost completely recovered. Whether using the hand function evaluation or the golden wing method, he is probably at the highest score. No wonder he is happy.
For hand surgery, or to be more precise, flexor tendon suturing surgery, the patient and his family have a strong ability to distinguish whether the recovery is good or not.
It's not like heart surgery. A cardiac angiogram is done, and the results are still hesitant. It's even less like brain surgery. Even the doctors can't understand the magnetic resonance pictures taken. None of the family members are accurate.
judge.
After the hand surgery, there will be obvious differences from the day the patient starts rehabilitation.
The worst result is that the blood vessels are not sutured properly and the blood supply is insufficient, leading to necrosis and amputation.
Forcibly suturing but losing functionality is something doctors try to avoid. Surgeons in developed countries such as Japan and the United States are not willing to waste time on fingers that have lost functionality.
Restoring some functions is the most common. Being able to stretch but not bend, move but not pinch is not considered a very good recovery.
As for whether the recovery is good, patients and their families don't need to have a doctor to tell them, but they will know better by comparing it with the previous normal state.
"Show me your hand." Ling Ran sat across from him, grabbed Wang Zhi's hand, and did a few simple tests.
Several patients nearby were doing their own rehabilitation while paying attention to Wang Zhi's condition.
"It seems that he is well and can be discharged from the hospital." Ling Ran gave an affirmative answer.
"Yeah, my hand is healed. It won't happen again, right?" Wang Zhi was very happy.
Ling Ran nodded affirmatively.
"That's great, that's great." Wang Zhi held Ling Ran's hand again, shook it hard twice, and said, "You don't know, I've been really worried about my hand recently. I work for a private company."
As an accountant, when I was working, I didn’t feel like I was doing any delicate operations with my hands. Only when I got injured did I know it was serious.”
Wang Zhi said with some excitement: "I was thinking a few days ago that if my right hand cannot regain all its functions, there will be problems not only in writing, but also in typing on the keyboard. Even if it recovers a little better, it will still be affected if it cannot be used normally.
At work, we as accountants have very busy times every year, and everyone is too busy to keep busy. If my hands are dragged down again, it will be really troublesome..."
Ling Ran just smiled and listened. He was not a person who liked to interrupt, not to mention he had nothing to do now.
Other patients also took the opportunity to ask Ling Ran to help look at their hands.
Rehabilitation is a very boring process, and recovery is not linear.
Many patients who have recovered to a certain level will become very anxious if they do not improve within a short period of time.
Ling Ran's status as a doctor gave everyone a comforting effect at this time.
At this time, a nurse from the rehabilitation center came over and saw Ling Ran doing tests on several people. She smiled and said: "You are so lucky. Dr. Ling sewed your skin at that time, right?
The wound the doctor stitched up is beautiful."
After Ling Ran's surgery was measured, the skin sutures were often left to Lu Wenbin and Ma Yanlin. The few people doing rehabilitation now were among Ling Ran's first patients and were close to being discharged from the hospital.
Several of the patients who were recovering were all men. Apparently they had not noticed this problem and they all looked at each other.
When the nurse saw Ling Ran present, she took the initiative to help him and praised him: "Dr. Ling's suturing skills are also recognized in our hospital. Don't the rehabilitation rooms have photos of previous patients after suturing? You will know after comparing them, Dr. Ling
The stitching is simply a work of art. It’s rare for you to come across Dr. Ling’s stitching.”
The men didn't particularly care about whether their hands looked good, but they were all curious and looked for the homemade booklet in the corner of the room.
Rehabilitation centers have always had a tradition of taking photos and keeping records. The wound pictures of some patients who are recovering well will be compiled into a book, which is used not only for self-promotion, but also as an incentive for subsequent rehabilitation patients.
Several grown men gathered around a magazine-like booklet, flipping through the pages, and comparing it with their own wounds, they really saw many similarities and differences.
"The sewing of this one is really a bit rough."
"The scar on the back of my hand is so big. People will stare at me when I go out from now on."
"It's so disgusting? It doesn't look like human hands."
The cases selected by the rehabilitation center are all better cases, but they are not necessarily cases with beautiful wound sutures. On this point, many doctors have different views from Ling Ran.
The Department of Hand Surgery is a long-established department, and its veteran high-end doctors are all over 50 years old. Deputy directors like Director Pan are considered young and promising in the Department of Hand Surgery and are promoted exceptionally.
In the minds of veteran doctors, the quality of the suture is very important, and the integrity of the limbs also needs to be considered, but the area of the scar left by the suture and the beauty of the scar do not need to be considered at all.
How could Ling Ran bear this!
When he was asked to sew the skin, he couldn't put the skin together completely, which made him very unhappy. As for the bent sutures, awkward angles, and different stitch intervals, it was completely intolerable.
For the later surgery, Lu Wenbin and others bandaged it after sewing it up. Ling Ran was out of sight and out of mind, but as long as he sewed it up himself, it looked beautiful no matter what.
The nurses in the rehabilitation center see scars every day and are extremely sensitive to scars.
Details that Ling Ran himself did not notice, and even things that the patients were not aware of, had long been circulated among the young nurses.
For example, whose sutures are good-looking, whose surgery has a good prognosis, whose patients are prone to pain and infection, all the details that the patients don't understand and the doctors don't understand all fall in the eyes of the nurses.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
Three more "sincere thanks" treasure boxes fell into Ling Ran's hands.
