Chapter 162 Doing the First Minor Surgery
The visitor is none other than Song Dahai from the guest house.
Dean Yan was a little strange: "Isn't this the sea? Who are you looking for? Dr. Xiao Chen?"
"Uncle Quan Xin, I just came to see Dr. Xiao Chen. Last night he told me that the corns on my feet can be treated with a small operation. I took a day off today to treat this harmful thing."
My corns were cut out."
"Cut corn? Surgery?"
Dean Yan's mind was full of questions and he turned to look at Chen Qi: "Xiao Chen, you, can you perform this operation?"
"Yes, corn surgery is not complicated. I can do it with my eyes closed."
Chen Qi must speak more categorically. If he is modest at this time, he will give others the impression that he is a double-edged sword and a braggart.
He will definitely need surgery. There is no doubt that he would rather die if he did not undergo surgery, so everyone must be mentally prepared from now on.
Dean Yan is a bit embarrassed:
"But, our hospital doesn't have a surgery department. Cutting out corns definitely requires surgical instruments, and we don't have any anesthesia or anything like that."
Chen Qi said nonchalantly:
"It's okay, Director Yan. Before I came to Huangtan, the People's Hospital gave me a set of simple surgical equipment and I also have a few anesthesia needles. Dahai happened to be lucky, so I'll cut him off first."
Dean Yan has more and more question marks in his mind.
I was thinking about the origin of Chen Qi? How did he get connected with the People's Hospital? Why did he send a surgical tool to a technical secondary school student? Since the relationship is so close, why did he come to Huangtan?
Chen Qi didn't expect that his words would make the little old man think about it for a long time.
But he didn't have time to take care of this. He just happened to be assigned a new office, which he could use just in time.
"Haidai, come on, you go to the backyard to find a foot bucket first, soak the soles of your feet in water for half an hour to soften the skin. I'll go to the dormitory to get the surgical tools."
Song Dahai was excited when he heard that he could actually undergo surgery: "Okay."
After saying that, he hurried to the backyard. The place in Huangtan Town is not big, and everyone is a fellow villager, and they are all familiar with each other, so there is no restriction.
It was not busy this morning, so everyone was very surprised when they heard that the new technical secondary school students had to do something on their first day at work.
Ni Meiying was the first to jump out again, appearing behind Dean Yan like a ghost:
"Dean, is this Doctor Chen real or fake? He is a recent graduate, but he can actually perform surgery? Don't get into trouble."
Li Hong from the Western Pharmacy also pouted:
"Today's young people are really fearless. Think about those brats back then. They dared to smash anything and destroy everything. Tsk, tsk, tsk."
Dean Yan frowned after hearing this:
"You all should stop saying a few words. If Xiao Chen is willing to undergo surgery, he must have his own confidence. Besides, if our hospital can really carry out surgical operations, it will be beneficial to everyone if the business increases."
Dean Yan's words did not stop everyone's discussion. On the contrary, they aroused everyone's interest and made them lose their thoughts on going to work.
Half an hour later, when Chen Qi was about to start the operation, the door of the office was already crowded with people. Of course, they were mainly employees of the health center and the guest house. Even the windows were full of people.
Everyone wants to see how this corn is operated on?
Corns are localized, conical keratin hyperplasia commonly known as "thorns" caused by long-term local pressure and friction on the foot skin. People who stand and walk for a long time are more likely to develop it, and friction and oppression are the main causes.
Mountain people have to climb mountains and ridges every day and use their feet excessively, so corns are also a very common skin disease.
Although this disease is not a big problem, the pain is very severe and seriously affects life and work. For example, Song Dahai can't climb mountains because he has corns, and he can't even go back home.
The usual treatment is to apply some Chinese herbal medicine that promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, but it does not have much effect.
Chen Qi has also become accustomed to others watching. For people in the early 1980s, surgery was a very rare thing. Back then, it was spectacular to have people watching in the street.
Watching Chen Qi start disinfecting Song Dahai's feet with a tan cotton ball, Dean Yan squatted next to him like a curious baby.
"Xiao Chen, what kind of disinfectant is this? I've never seen it before."
"Dean Yan, this is called iodophor, oh, it's actually iodine, but the concentration is a little lower."
These days, alcohol, violet solution, red solution, etc. are all used for disinfection in health centers. Iodine is rarely seen, let alone iodine.
Then Chen Qi opened the surgical bag, revealing the shining silver surgical instruments inside, which made the onlookers exclaim.
Dean Yan was a little surprised and said with a hint of sourness in his tone: "This People's Hospital is really a big business. They are willing to give away such good surgical instruments. We can't afford them even if we want to buy them."
Chen Qi smiled and said, "Do you think everyone would give it to me? If it weren't for the director of the Department of Surgery being my teacher, I wouldn't have given it to someone else."
Dean Yan swallowed his words before he spoke. In fact, he really wanted to ask, since you have such a good relationship with the director of the Department of Surgery, why don't you stay at the People's Hospital?
At this time, Chen Qi had already used a syringe to extract the lidocaine needle:
"Da Dahai, I'm going to take an anesthetic now. It hurts a little when I first take it, please bear with it."
"Doctor Xiao Chen, just give me a shot, what does this little pain mean? No problem."
Chen Qi was not polite and directly inserted the needle into the sole of the foot around the corn, and beat it in a circle. Song Dahai was already gritting his teeth in pain.
The crowd of people watching also felt numb, and many people made tut-tut sounds from their mouths.
Chen Qi held the scalpel and thought to himself, where are we going now? The more disgusting things are still to come. Thinking of this, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Everyone held their breath and waited to see what the next move would be. What they saw was that Dr. Xiao Chen raised the knife and made two cuts, making an eye-like incision around the corn.
The blood flowed down all of a sudden.
"Ah~~~~"
Several timid women screamed and quickly closed their eyes. The sight of cutting flesh on a living person made goosebumps appear all over their bodies.
The doctors at the health center are fine, but they are secretly surprised. It seems that this new guy is not a good person. The knife is very stable and sharp. If someone stabs someone twice, hiss, it's scary to think about it.
On the contrary, Song Dahai had no expression on his face because he couldn't see the condition of the sole of his foot and it didn't hurt even after being given anesthesia.
"Yan Curious Baby" started asking questions again: "Xiao Chen, is there anything special about this corn surgery?"
