Song Yan was heavily pregnant, so regardless of her skill level, the force required for fracture reduction was immense. Old Han, Xu Pingzhi, and Chen Qiang definitely wouldn't let her help.

This patient was brought in by a doctor from the Second Hospital.

"Xiao Yan! Let those who are good at it do what they are good at."

"You're quite far along in your pregnancy, so don't touch this patient," Old Han said.

Old Han knew that Song Yan could set bones.

"Brother Han, I'm not trying to be mean, but you've really struck gold!"

"Your apprentice is young, but his foundation is very solid!" Before Song Yan could speak, an expert surnamed Lü said. This older gentleman was skilled in traditional Chinese medicine bone setting.

"Hehe, yes, yes! This kid is just diligent and loves to learn." Old Han showed no modesty whatsoever.

"Go and see the patient!" The old expert Lu ordered the doctor next to him to take action, because he really couldn't stand Huang Guofu.

Over the years, everyone has been scared by people like Huang Guofu. Even though everyone disapproves of him, they still dare not stand up.

"Dr. Song didn't say he couldn't cure it!" The doctor from the Second Hospital was still staring at Song Yan; it was his job. Then his eyes turned to Old Han and the others.

He was also keeping an eye on the other people around Lao Han!

"I see now, you can't stand not watching me, the pregnant woman. Then let my nephew do it!"

I'm so pregnant, I can't exert myself. You understand, right?

"You can't possibly make things difficult for my child." Song Yan wrote down a few items on the prescription. "Go and get them ready."

The doctor avoided Song Yan's gaze.

Xia Juntao almost shouted, "Let him do it! Can he even do it?" But reason made him shut his mouth, and he stubbornly stood still.

Song Yan tapped the X-ray, snapping Xia Juntao out of his daze. "Look at this location, where has the fracture shifted to? How much rotation occurred at the point of muscle misalignment?"

Most common fractures in daily life that are suitable for manual reduction and have a good prognosis are arm fractures.

Song Yan had emphasized this point. Xia Juntao answered his uncle's question earnestly.

Soon the tools that Song Yan had asked for arrived.

Song Yan first disinfected the area, then administered local anesthesia. Two points were chosen for anesthesia due to nerve distribution. Lidocaine was used for local anesthesia, with specific dosage and concentration considerations.

Song Yan explained the procedure to Xia Juntao as he demonstrated it.

Traditional Chinese medicine doesn't utilize Western medical techniques much these days. Just now, Huang Guofu used manual reduction, which must have been incredibly painful!

About five minutes later, after Song Yan touched the patient's fracture site, the pain subsided.

"Senior Brother Xu, come on!" Song Yan instructed Xu Pingzhi to help.

Reduction of this type of fracture requires two people to perform stretching reduction.

Xia Juntao looked at Song Yan one glance at a time.

Song Yan: "Your strength is enough."

Senior Brother Xu is the support.

Xia Juntao is the main person in charge.

Xia Juntao held the patient's wrist joint with both hands, while Song Yan held Xia Juntao's hands. Her two thumbs avoided Xia Juntao's thumbs and pinched the patient's fracture site.

"Push harder!"

Xia Juntao immediately pulled hard, and Xu Pingzhi also pulled hard from the other end.

"Push harder...push harder! Press down! Rotate inward 30 degrees, push harder, and rotate again!"

Xia Juntao grabbed it!

Xia Juntao changed direction as Song Yan applied force.

"Senior brother, slowly loosen your grip. Towel, splint!"

Song Yan skillfully used a splint to fix the patient's arm.

"Go get an X-ray to check the repositioning effect."

"If the repositioning is successful, I'll prescribe a medicine for you, and you can get it from the First Affiliated Hospital," Song Yan said.

Old Han: "How are you? Is anything bothering you?"

Song Yan shook her head. As Dr. Ai got older, he lost the strength to perform these kinds of fracture reductions that required considerable force, so he used this method to borrow strength from others. Song Yan, being a woman with limited physical strength, found this method very effective and learned it from Dr. Ai.

Regardless of the degree of repositioning, Huang Guofu's patients cried out in pain. Song Yan's patients, on the other hand, experienced significantly less pain.

This is a stark contrast.

Xu Pingzhi instructed Xia Juntao to personally accompany the patients to take X-rays to prevent them from causing any further trouble.

Old Lu spoke up, "Is this Comrade Xiao Song? You seem quite skilled!"

It is common for fractures to not be reduced satisfactorily, requiring two or even three reductions.

But I reckon you have a very good chance of succeeding on your first try.

"I do hope that the repositioning can be successful on the first try."

I don't know why this doctor was targeting me, a pregnant woman.

I'm currently pregnant and cannot have the repositioning done under X-ray guidance. If I had another doctor do it under X-ray guidance, it would definitely be successful on the first try.

After all, the patient's injury was too close to the wrist joint.

"The slightest mistake could cause problems with your wrist joint function!" Song Yan's words made Huang Guofu feel utterly humiliated.

As a doctor, I certainly don't want to perform fracture reduction under X-rays because of the radiation exposure. However, sometimes, in special circumstances, it may be done occasionally.

"Comrade Xiao Song, did you learn this repositioning technique from Teacher Han?" Weng Tai asked.

"May I ask who you are?" Song Yan certainly recognized Weng Tai.

"He is Weng Tai!"

"Ah! You must be Weng Tai. Old Master Han taught you, so you must be quite familiar with his medical skills, right?"

You are in charge of organizing and providing logistical support for this free clinic.

On the first day, our consultation room didn't have a table.

Just now, that doctor brought a patient with a fracture here, insisting on getting their bone set. I thought you didn't know that Dr. Han mainly treats internal medicine conditions?

With you here, it's simply impossible!

You haven't done a good job in either organization or logistical support!
