"Ma Yanlin …" Ling Ran, who was busy performing surgeries in everyone's eyes, suddenly opened his mouth to call out to Ma Yanlin. He spoke in a tone as if he was giving a lecture, "Tell me about the characteristics of the distribution of the axillary nerves."
"Ah … yes …" Ma Yanlin was already a little sleepy, but when Ling Ran called him, he instantly woke up.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on him.
This feeling was like the head chef suddenly passing the half-finished food to the assistant's table, and the diners were all gritting their teeth as they waited for the food.
Ma Yanlin felt as if his stomach was about to explode. He was so nervous that he felt as if he had been woken up by his wife in the middle of the night to recuperate. He stuttered, "The axillary nerve is a branch of the posterior brachial plexus. It descends from the surface of the subscapular muscle along the posterior wall of the axilla …"
At this moment, he returned to the posture of a resident doctor.
For young doctors who had never performed shoulder joint surgery, their knowledge about the axillary nerve basically came from reading and learning. No matter how good Ma Yanlin was at hand and foot surgery, and no matter how much he came into contact with hepatectomy, it was all in vain. This was another new field.
However, the young doctors who could enter Yun Hua Hospital and get authorized were all graduates from good schools with good results. They still had this bit of knowledge.
The most important thing was that Ma Yanlin had been revising his knowledge about the shoulder joint in addition to maintaining his relationship with his wife. Now that he could put it to use, he felt a little happy.
After making sure that Ma Yanlin had the basics, he started the surgery and said, "You have to be careful when you separate the teres minor muscle. Separating the upper edge of the teres minor muscle will not damage the axillary nerve, but if you accidentally separate the teres minor muscle at the lower edge of the teres minor muscle, you might damage the axillary nerve."
"Yes, we need to separate the upper edge of the teres minor," Ma Yanlin repeated.
Ling Ran turned around and looked at the other doctors who were there for in-service training. He added, "The axillary nerve is the only muscle that innervates the deltoid muscle. If there's a problem, the consequences will be very serious. You have to be extra careful. If you can't do it, don't challenge it easily. Just use the traditional approach."
Everyone nodded.
Director Hu, who had just arrived, could not help but nod.
There was more than one pit where the axillary nerve was separated. It could be said that there were pits everywhere. He was a chief physician. Why did he rarely perform surgeries using the lateral approach? That was because he chose to do so after careful consideration.
Thinking of this, Director Hu couldn't help but be stunned. Why did I do that? Hmm … Ling Ran set me up?
The more Department Director Hu thought about it, the angrier he became. 'This is definitely Ling Ran trying to provoke me.'
He immediately looked at Ling Ran. He saw that Ling Ran, who had been asking about the round muscles just now, had already separated them clearly. To use an inappropriate analogy, he was like a chef who was talking about how to dismember a cow just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, he had put the meat into the clear soup of Chaoshan hotpot, and there was even a bowl of seasoning beside him that had been filled with oil.
Director Hu swallowed his saliva.
"A feast for the eyes, huh?" Ling Ran did not know whether it was a doctor for in-service training or a doctor from another hospital. He probably did not know who the department director of the Orthopedics Department was. When he saw Ling Ran gulping, he moved closer to him, smiled, and said, "I used to like watching Doctor Ling perform cardiovascular surgeries. I thought he was really handsome. Now, I like watching him perform orthopedic surgeries. His movements are big and manly. "
Department Director Hu gave him a sidelong glance.
"It's just pure appreciation. Don't be so serious." The doctor from another hospital lowered his voice. He was almost sticking to Department Director Hu's shoulder. He said, "What I admire the most is not only Doctor Ling's skills, but also his professionalism. Not only does he not earn any money, but he also pays for it. Can you believe that? Even though some people complain that there are not enough operating theaters every day, aren't the operating theaters still empty at this time? They can't even watch it if they want to … "
Department Director Hu gave him a sidelong glance.
The doctor from another hospital wanted to say something, but Hospital Director Li coughed softly and said, "Old Hu, the Orthopedics Department also wants to organize young doctors to learn. When they are free, they can also come and watch Doctor Ling's surgeries. Look, even the Orthopedics Department of Lu Hospital knows to send people over. We are close to him, so don't miss out. "
Department Director Hu was stunned. For the sake of the camera, he nodded and answered, "Yes." But in his mind, he thought, 'Hospital Director Li's stocks must have missed out, or else he would not have thought of this.' Hospital Director Li's brain was probably also trampled. Unless the Orthopedics Department wanted to become a subordinate department, sending young doctors over to learn would be like sending sheep into a tiger's den. The young doctors in the Orthopedics Department who can perform shoulder joint surgery are already in their thirties. Some doctors are already in their thirties after they graduate. These people will be promoted to associate chief physicians or chief physicians in the future. How will they face Ling Ran? Ling Ran is younger than them. They won't die no matter what! "
"The axillary nerve is the most consistent example with Hilton's law." Ling Ran's voice rang again, and he asked the same question, "Ma Yanlin, Hilton's law."
"Uh … uh …" Ma Yanlin became nervous again. He was even a little stunned.
Just when the atmosphere was about to become awkward, Ma Yanlin seemed to have restarted and spoke again, "Hilton's law states that the motor nerve that controls a certain muscle will often send branches to the joint controlled by the muscle and the skin covering the joint."
Ling Ran nodded and said, "So the pain in the shoulder joint can be transmitted through the axillary nerve, and it can also be transmitted to the skin through the axillary nerve."
The sound of notes being taken could be heard around them.
The doctor from another hospital beside Department Director Hu could not help but snicker a few times. He seemed to be talking to himself as he said, "So, why do we need to find good students? When they study, they have already accumulated a lot of theoretical knowledge. This is because doctors who are in-service training don't study properly when they study. When they want to work hard after they finish their studies, they have to take advantage of other people's breaks to re-read the books that they have not read before. But they don't know that good students perform surgeries with amazing people at night."
Department Director Hu could not bear to listen to this. He could not help but say, "Ling Ran has only been in the hospital for a few years."
"Geniuses can't be judged by common sense. You've been in the hospital for a long time. Can you perform the surgeries he is performing now?" The doctor from another hospital did not hold back when he spoke.
Surgeons were a group of rather crude people. No one knew which hospital this person came from. He did not know Department Director Hu, and he did not care about him. As he spoke, the direction of the topic became quite targeted.
Department Director Hu had not faced such a sharp question for some time. Perhaps, this question was only sharp in his heart.
If it were other department directors or senior surgeons in the Orthopedics Department, they would have said something like "Doctor Ling's lateral approach is too good" and gotten away with it.
However, Department Director Hu was not willing to say that today.
Therefore, he had to face the question itself.
'Can I perform the surgeries Ling Ran is performing now?'
Once this question appeared in Department Director Hu's mind, it turned into a storm that made him dizzy.
Department Director Hu had performed surgeries using the lateral approach before, and the prognosis was not particularly good. There were also cases where the prognosis was extremely bad. However, Department Director Hu had previously thought about shoulder joint surgeries, and he was not inferior to Ling Ran. But when it came to the specific case in front of him and the surgery in front of him, Department Director Hu could not avoid it.
He could not help but think, 'If I snatch this patient today …'
Perhaps if he used other approaches to perform the surgery, he would be able to perform well. But compared to Ling Ran's choice and operation, Department Director Hu was a little powerless.
"It's okay. Let's learn together." The doctor from another hospital chuckled and moved closer to Department Director Hu.
Department Director Hu felt bitter.
