At seven in the morning, Ling Ran, who had performed a round of surgery, walked out of the Operating Area refreshed and went to the rehabilitation area.
The recovery of flexor tendons in the fingers was an important part of the perioperative period, and there were many things to pay attention to. The rehabilitation room of Yun Hua Hospital's Hand Surgery Department was equipped with doctors who specialized in rehabilitation. As long as the surgeon came over with medical advice, there was no need to worry too much.
However, Ling Ran still insisted on going to the rehabilitation room for ward rounds and collected a wave of Sincere Gratitude along the way.
Ling Ran's first meeting with patients after surgery was in the rehabilitation area instead of the ward was also a big discovery for Ling Ran. Patients who were undergoing rehabilitation seemed to have a higher chance of giving him Sincere Gratitude.
Ling Ran went from one rehabilitation room to another, and soon, he obtained two Basic Treasure Chests.
Every time Ling Ran received one, he would open it and get an Energy Serum.
Ever since Hayato Ueda came back, Ling Ran rushed to perform more than one hundred surgeries. Including the patients who had surgery before but did not go for ward rounds, he obtained twenty-three Basic Treasure Chests and twenty-three Energy Serums. Thus, his Energy Serum reserve increased to seventy-two.
Including the two he just obtained, his Energy Serum reserve increased to seventy-four.
Ling Ran patted his pocket, and his expression was unreadable.
The nurses, patients, and family members on both sides of the corridor greeted Ling Ran.
Ling Ran only nodded slightly.
Anyone who met him once would have a deep impression of him, but it was too difficult for Ling Ran to remember everyone's face and name.
Therefore, he could only maintain a polite appearance.
If he offended someone because of this, there was nothing he could do.
"Doctor Ling." Pan Jinyue saw Ling Ran's side profile and called out. She wanted him to take a look at her husband first.
Ling Ran walked over and picked up the medical record as usual. He glanced at it and suddenly said, "This is the patient who cut three fingers yesterday. How do you feel?"
He looked at Zheng Qi.
Zheng Qi had been forced to exercise his fingers since five in the morning. He clenched his teeth and said through gritted teeth, "It hurts."
"Theoretically, you can use painkillers, but painkillers can easily blur your sense of pain and cause excessive exercise." Ling Ran paused and said, "You moved just now, right?"
"Yes." Pan Jinyue quickly asked, "Does being able to move mean that the suture is done?"
Ling Ran lowered his head and gently moved Zheng Qi's fingers. He nodded and said, "The passive finger flexion can be bounced in the future. There's basically no problem. You need to continue rehabilitation."
"Okay, okay." Although Pan Jinyue was Department Associate Director Pan's older sister, she still felt a little weak in front of other doctors. She asked carefully, "Can our hands recover to the same level as normal people if we do rehabilitation like this?"
She had asked her brother Pan Hu this question, but Pan Hu did not answer her directly.
Even though Zheng Qi was grimacing in pain, he was still paying close attention.
"I can't tell for now." Ling Ran paused for a moment before he told the truth, "It's very difficult to completely recover to the state of a normal person when you're so seriously injured. You can basically say that it's impossible."
Zheng Qi's eyes immediately dimmed. The pain in his hand seemed to have weakened.
From yesterday until today, the only thing that kept him going was the hope of his hand recovering. The chief surgeon's answer was obviously not the answer he wanted.
"I see … I see that some people's hands have recovered quite well." Pan Jinyue could not even speak fluently. She thought of her younger brother and quickly said, "I asked another doctor, and he said that it's a good thing to start rehabilitation twelve hours after surgery."
"It's a good thing," Ling Ran said confidently, "It can basically eliminate the problem of adhesion. Adhesion is the most troublesome sequela after hand surgeries. "
Pan Jinyue's expression became a little better. She asked again, "I asked other people, and some of them only start rehabilitation thirty to forty hours after surgery. Can't we recover to normal even if we start rehabilitation so much earlier?"
"It's much easier to solve the problem of tendon adhesion if we start rehabilitation twelve hours after surgery compared to those who start rehabilitation thirty to forty hours after surgery. But it's still too difficult for our hands to recover to normal. "
"But some of them also scored excellent in the hand function test."
Ling Ran was stunned for a moment when he heard that. He laughed out loud, "It's so easy to score excellent in the hand function test."
"Huh?"
"If nothing goes wrong, Mister Zheng Qi's hand function will not be a problem to recover to excellent." Ling Ran touched his chin as he spoke and said, "Most of my patients can recover to excellent. So far, the excellent rate is 98%."
Some patients' injuries were too serious, and it was impossible for them to fully recover with modern medical standards. Therefore, there would always be people who could not reach excellent in the hand function test, and some of them could not even reach good. But usually, the standard of "acceptable" had to be met. Otherwise, amputation would be a better choice.
Pan Jinyue looked at Ling Ran, who deliberately raised his chin, and could not help but repeat, "Can Zheng Qi's hand function be recovered to excellent by then?"
"Under normal circumstances." Ling Ran said and deliberately explained, "Getting excellent in the hand function test does not mean that the hand function will recover to the same level as a normal person. It only means that he can take care of himself in simple daily life. For example, he will not be able to lift heavy objects in the gym. Fine operations may also be affected, and the touch of his fingers will also be different …"
"But he can use a pen to write, eat, shower, and use a computer?" Zheng Qi could not help but be excited.
Ling Ran nodded slightly and said, "If the results of rehabilitation are good, he should be able to do it."
Zheng Qi was ecstatic. "I'll definitely do my rehabilitation well. I'll definitely do my rehabilitation well."
His voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of a nurse not far away.
The young nurse in the rehabilitation room was a little embarrassed to come over, but when she heard his voice, she immediately rushed over to help. She said, "You must do your rehabilitation well. You're really lucky. Doctor Ling's suturing is very good. He can start rehabilitation after twelve hours, and it can reduce the chances of adhesion …"
Although what she said was similar, Zheng Qi and Pan Jinyue heard it at that moment, it was like heavenly music.
* Thud. *
Another Sincere Gratitude Box appeared in front of Ling Ran.
Ling Ran casually opened an Energy Serum and put it in his pocket. He was very familiar with it.
After a round of ward rounds, Ling Ran returned to the Operating Area to eat. The cafeteria lady was now familiar with Ling Ran's menu. There were pork, beef, and chicken. She also prepared all kinds of side dishes. She used deep-fried pancakes, deep-fried dough sticks, tofu pudding, and soy milk to go with it. It could be said that it was perfect.
Recently, he had become very rich after performing surgeries. Ling Ran ordered six or seven dishes in one go. He brought them to the table and ate fiercely.
A young nurse at the table next to him secretly picked up her phone and made a clicking sound.
Ling Ran naturally looked up and saw that the young nurse was so scared that her face turned pale. Her face was full of fear.
Ling Ran smiled, not knowing what was going on. He had experienced things like taking pictures secretly during the era of film. Ever since he had digital cameras, he encountered more of them. He just needed to be calm.
"Phew …"
Ling Ran drank half a bowl of soy milk in one go.
The young nurse placed her hands on her chest. Her eyes were full of stars.
"Lunch?" Huo Congjun sat down in front of Ling Ran like a big dog. He blocked the young nurse's line of sight and gained enough negative face value to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm.
"You can say that." Ling Ran thought for a while. It had been five hours since three o 'clock. It could be considered lunch.
Huo Congjun sighed. "Young people nowadays sleep at three o 'clock in the morning. But you wake up at three o' clock in the morning. I don't even know if I should remind you to take care of your body. Don't work too hard. You have to balance work and rest. When you're free, exercise and rest well … "
Ling Ran hummed and said, "From tomorrow onwards, you don't have to wake up early anymore. The rehabilitation room is not enough."
"Speaking of which." Huo Congjun laughed and said, "I've helped you get another rehabilitation room. From now on, Rehabilitation Room 5 will belong to us!"
Ling Ran's eyes lit up. He ate faster and said, "Then I can perform two more surgeries today."
"Yes, it's a waste to leave the rehabilitation room empty." Huo Congjun coughed and said, "Don't work too hard. Don't tire yourself out. Pay attention to balance work and rest …"
"Oh."
"Also, also …" Huo Congjun rubbed the back of his head and tried to save some face. He said, "In a few days, there will be a city administration cadre health inspection. I've helped you get a place. Work hard and perform some surgeries in the next few days. When the rehabilitation room is not enough, you can go to the health inspection and rest well."
"What does health inspection do?" Ling Ran was a little confused.
"It's just going to the old cadre sanatorium to do some physical examinations or something. It's very easy."
"Do I go for a physical examination? Can I not go? "Ling Ran said," I don't know much about geriatric diseases. Why don't I stay for surgery? "
