Chapter 741: Chapter 660: The Return of the Ultimate Skill

PS: Still not fixed yet.

The trick of peeling a lobster with only two chopsticks is something the doctors certainly won’t be able to learn on the spot. Everyone took videos of the teaching, to study it slowly later.

Yang Ping demonstrated slowly the trick of peeling a lobster and also explained the key points in detail. The key to this technique lies in two points: familiarity with the anatomy of the lobster and the level of skill in using chopsticks.

Everyone was listening attentively just like being in a class, quietly jotting down these key points. Some decided to buy a few big lobsters tomorrow to study their anatomy.

There were also people who started to try it with chopsticks, but due to a lack of knowledge in anatomy and unqualified chopstick skills, the lobster slid back and forth under the chopsticks. Let aside peeling the lobster, they couldn’t even complete the task of removing the lobster’s head and tail.

"This is a unique skill, since it’s a unique skill, it’s high-end technology and requires standardized training." Yang Ping told everyone not to rush and take it slowly.

"Starting from tomorrow, practice peeling a lobster for an hour when you get home from work. Next time Professor Yang returns, there will be a test." Song Yun officially announced.

The first lesson, indeed, begins with peeling a lobster.

Qiu Ruo and Yu Yanwen were watching as if it was a magic trick, looking dumbfounded.

During the whole supper, Yang Ping was peeling the lobster with chopsticks, keeping his hands clean.

This supper couldn’t last too long, everybody had to go to work at six o’clock the next morning.

The young doctors at Xiehe are very hardworking. They start their work at the hospital at six in the morning, and it’s common for them to get off work after nine in the evening. They hardly have any days off throughout the year.

This kind of experience is a huge test both mentally and physically. One day, when they grow up and become experts, there will be endless surgeries. Anyway, this kind of life is never-ending.

Now that everyone has come out to have supper with Yang Ping, this shows great respect for Yang Ping. Normally, even though Wangfujing is just a stone’s throw away, they simply don’t have any free time to take a stroll around.

At the end of the supper, Kong Weiquan received a phone call, looking quite nervous. Could it be that the department needed assistance?

After Kong Weiquan answered the call, he said, "It’s Old Xiao. His son has a high fever. His wife brought their son to our Emergency Department. His son fell at the hospital entrance and broke his right forearm. Old Xiao is busy in surgery and cannot leave. He is asking for our help to check on his son.

Old Xiao is a professor of trauma orthopedics. It’s quite a situation when his son’s bone gets fractured and yet he couldn’t even attend to his son.

"What are we waiting for? Let’s go quickly to the emergency room." Song Yun promptly paid the bill using the QR payment.

Everyone hurriedly set off to the Emergency Department. Once they reached the Emergency Department, they asked a nurse where Old Xiao’s son was.

The nurse told them that Old Xiao’s son was waiting in line in the waiting area. Song Yun was a bit irritated, why was Old Xiao’s son still waiting in line?

Kong Weiquan immediately went to find Old Xiao’s wife in the waiting area. As soon as he recognized her, he quickly called them to a consultation room.

"Sister-in-law, why are you still in line?" Kong Weiquan was also a bit dissatisfied that the emergency nurses hadn’t taken proper care of their own people.

"It’s alright. Just now an emergency nurse directly took me to the examination room, but people waiting in line complained about it, so I’ve decided to queue up. I don’t want to put them in a difficult position, it was me who requested this." Old Xiao’s wife was quite understanding.

The doctors on duty in several wards were so busy they were about to collapse. The wards were also in no condition to take in another patient. Hence, Old Xiao had no choice but to call Song Yun and Kong Weiquan back to help.

Old Xiao’s son was just six years old, he had a fever which had his face all flushed. His right arm was temporarily stabilized with a splint and suspended in front of his chest.

"What’s the situation? Let me see." Upon examination, Song Yun realized that it was a comminuted fracture of the ulna and radius.

"Quickly take an x-ray. Sister-in-law, Xuanxuan has a dual fracture of the ulna and radius." Song Yun took Old Xiao’s wife and son to radiology.

After a brief exchange with the doctor on duty, they assisted in taking an x-ray. When the film came out, it was indeed a dual fracture of the ulna and the radius. The comminution and displacement were obvious.

"Prepare for surgery? Let me inform Brother Xiao." Song Yun picked up the phone.

Finally getting through, the voice of the circulating nurse on the other side said, "Old Xiao is too busy now, he doesn’t have the time to answer the phone, let Song Yun handle it."

A simple one might be handled with a technique. However, in this complex situation, aside from surgery, there is no other solution. This kind of fracture requires the use of elastic intramedullary nails, which are not even readily available.

Yang Ping looked at the film, "Prepare for local anesthesia, I will perform a manual reduction. Do we have a small splint? A splint would be best. If not, apply a tubular plaster cast."

The emergency room was not short of splints. They were usually used for temporary stabilization and are available in all kinds.

"Manual reduction?" Song Yun asked.

This kind of fracture could be manually reduced? In his concept, it was impossible to manually reduce this kind of fracture.

Old Xiao’s wife when hearing that surgery might not be necessary, asked, "Can it be done?"

"It’s very quick. We’ll do a local anesthesia, fix it in a few minutes, and then he can go home to sleep."

Everyone returned to the Emergency Department. All were familiar with the Emergency Department as they had interned there. A doctor found a forearm splint. Yang Ping briefly compared it on the healthy limb and found it to be very suitable.

Normally, everyone used plaster for such tasks and these small splints didn’t see much use. However, they were kept on hand in case of emergencies.

Yang Ping asked Song Yun to assist, hold traction for a while, then push, press, knead a few times before applying the splint.

This only took a few minutes time. Everyone thought it would be unbelievable if this could actually work.

Xuanxuan was brought to Radiology again for a follow-up X-ray. Upon examining the X-ray, the ulna and radius were indeed totally anatomically reduced.

"Alright, nothing’s wrong now. Take a bottle of Ibuprofen oral suspension home for pain relief."

Old Xiao’s wife who was just in a hurry before was a bit stunned. Just like that, it’s fixed?

Such mastery in performing surgeries, yet also proficient in the traditional technique of manual reduction. Just who is this person? He somewhat resembles the invincible war god from online fiction novels.

"This... we can go home now?" Old Xiao’s wife was somewhat incredulous.
