Lin Sanqi was a professional, and although he obtained a miscellaneous diploma in 1959, in another era, he was a regular student of a five-year prestigious university and had solid theoretical knowledge.

So when he thought of a suture, N different suture methods appeared in his mind, as well as the corresponding indications and advantages and disadvantages.

Nowadays, many people in society look down on five-year undergraduate programs, as if they were looking down on technical secondary school students. This is actually wrong.

A five-year undergraduate program takes one year longer than other subjects, especially in prestigious universities, and the level of these medical students is very high.

However, the subsequent expansion of enrollment led to the "devaluation of diplomas". The minimum requirement for county hospitals was a master's degree, the minimum requirement for municipal hospitals was a doctorate, and admission to provincial and above hospitals required overseas study experience.

In fact, this significance may not be very great.

There was once a hospital that was exposed, where more than 20 doctors had diplomas from a fake university in the Philippines. Even with their overseas background, they could work in provincial hospitals. (Many domestic universities and hospitals have similar diplomas.)

How good is this doctor? Would you dare to see a doctor who graduated from a fake university like this?

Outsiders have no idea. They see the man sitting there looking decent and the introduction at the door seems impressive, so they think they have met a miracle doctor.

For example, undergraduates from Peking University and Tsinghua University are generally more impressive than postgraduate students from other universities. Why is that? If you think about it carefully, you will understand.

The biggest difference between Lin Sanqi and the graduate students is that he has too little practical experience.

During the one-year internship, you have seen everything you should see and learned everything you should learn. Some teachers are bold enough to let you be the main surgeon, while some are timid and only let you be an assistant.

Unlike graduate students, who follow their supervisors around every day and have many opportunities to get hands-on experience, their supervisors are also willing to cover for them if something goes wrong, after all, they have a master-disciple relationship.

Undergraduate interns and their teaching teachers have a temporary cooperative relationship and no emotional connection. If something goes wrong, they will be fooled by their teaching teachers. There are many interns who have been framed by their teaching teachers, and Lin Sanqi is one of them.

As for scientific research, they are all similar. Graduate students' thesis are also pieced together.

Medicine is such a high-tech field. Not to mention a master's degree, even if you have a doctorate, how many people can come up with anything?

China publishes so many papers every year, surpassing the US in total volume to become the world's largest. But how many of these papers have international influence or groundbreaking significance? Has anyone ever won a Nobel Prize in science or engineering?

The entire domestic medical community conducts scientific research just to meet the requirements of promotion and graduation. Most of the papers are bought and can be published as long as money is paid.

So don’t underestimate undergraduates. As long as they can make up for the shortcomings in their thesis, they can also be very awesome.

For example, Lin Sanqi made an unexpected discovery 59 years later. As long as he was brave enough, there would be plenty of opportunities to take action.

Although the operating room was temporary and could not meet the operating requirements, Lin Sanqi was ready to show off his skills in front of everyone.

I saw that the first needle he chose was to insert a needle horizontally about 1 cm away from the tendon section, put the needle into the coil, tighten and lock a small amount of tendon epitenon and tendon bundle, then insert the needle longitudinally into the tendon, and insert the needle from the palm side of the tendon end.

Then pierce the opposite tendon end, insert the needle on the palm side in the same way, pull out the needle about 1 cm away from the end, and pull it tight to make the two ligament sections fit together. Cut one end of the loop, and pass another needle horizontally nearby. After removing the needle, tie a knot with the cut thread.

Others may not understand the significance of Lin Sanqi's acupuncture, but they feel that this guy's movements were a little unfamiliar at the beginning, but he quickly adjusted his state and became as easy as flowing water.

But from Ye Yongan's professional perspective, he was surprised to find that Lin Sanqi's ligament suture was completely different from that of their Union Hospital.

Not only were the techniques different, Ye Yongan also noticed that Lin Sanqi's suturing method seemed more scientific and could better keep the ruptured ligament stable.

How is this possible?

Could it be that the lack of communication between domestic and foreign medical circles during the ten years since the founding of the People's Republic of China has led to a technological gap?

The more Ye Yongan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. His strong curiosity made him ask directly:

"Comrade Xiaolin, is there any particular reason for the stitches you use? Why do you insert the needle here first? How is it different from the Bonnell suture?"

Lin Sanqi had just sewed up a palmar carpal ligament and was very happy. He felt that he was a real genius and could do it on his own without the guidance of a teacher.

Now hearing that the famous vice president of Union Medical College wanted to ask him for advice, Lin Sanqi's vanity became even stronger.

"Dean Ye, the Bonnell suture you mentioned, while providing a high tensile strength at the tendon-ligament joint, can easily cause strangulation of the tendon joint, significantly impacting local blood circulation and hindering tendon healing. It can also cause extensive adhesions to surrounding tissues."

(Bunnell suture is a transliteration. It was invented by a foreign doctor named Bunnell in 1918. It was also the mainstream ligament and tendon suture method in the world at that time. Readers should not question it and think that it is impossible for a foreign name to appear in China. Otherwise, it would be an enemy spy or something.)

Ye Yongan nodded after listening to this. As a senior surgeon in China, he was more familiar with the disadvantages of the Bonnell suture method.

"So the Broad Street suture you mentioned is an improved method you invented yourself? Why do you think it's better than the Bonnell method?"

Lin Sanqi knew about the future development of medicine and knew that the real Kuanjie suture method was actually called the "Tsukishita suture method." This was the mainstream suture method of the future, so he started bragging without blushing:

"President Ye, you see, the Bonnell suture method involves passing two threads through the stumps on both sides, then tightening and tying them. This way, the knot sinks into the tendon surface. This knot is the weakness of this suture method, because if the knot sinks into the tendon, it will reduce tension and affect the efficacy.

The Broad Street suture we invented is just as strong as the Bonnell suture, but the needle is inserted here. This way, the stumps are anastomosed, which not only prevents stump fissures, but also minimizes the impact on the tendon's blood supply and prevents tendon entrapment, making it easier to heal.

Vice President Ye's eyes brightened after hearing this. For such an old expert, many technical problems can be understood with just a little explanation.

At the same time, Ye Yongan's curiosity grew stronger:

"Comrade Xiaolin, your method is excellent, absolutely brilliant. Oh, why do you call it the Broad Street Suture? Is it the latest international invention?"

Who is Dean Shen? He is an old fox. When he heard the word Kuanjie, he thought of "Kuanjie Chinese Medicine Hospital". Since Lin Sanqi has already started bragging, he will naturally brag to the sky.

"Old Ye, you don't understand. What do these two words 'Kuanjie' mean? Think about it, where are you now?"

"Kuanjie, Kuanjie? Kuanjie Chinese Medicine Hospital?" Ye Yongan's face changed when he said this.

At this time, Dean Shen's mentality was very good, and he said with a smile:

"That's the suturing method invented by our Kuanjie Chinese Medicine Hospital. Of course, it should be named the Kuanjie Suture Method. It's our first invention and it's internationally leading, hehe."

Lin Sanqi quickly added:

"President Ye, our Broad Street suture method can not only be used to suture tendons and ligaments, but can also be widely used in neurological surgery. It has a wide range of uses."

Vice President Ye was stunned and murmured, "How is this possible? How is this possible?"

The Chinese people during this period had a strong sense of national honor and always wanted to invent or create something, and then bring it to the international stage to win glory for the country.

The same is true in the medical community. Everyone hopes that our country will invent a miracle drug or a new surgical procedure that will become internationally famous.

But how could invention be so easy? Even top Western medicine hospitals like Peking Union Medical College Hospital didn't have the ability to do this, and yet a traditional Chinese medicine hospital invented a brand new suturing method?

Vice President Ye Yongan could not accept it either emotionally or rationally.

Dean Shen was even more proud, and stood there with his legs shaking:

"How is it impossible? The facts are right in front of us, Comrade Old Ye. Now you understand the gap between your Union Hospital and our Kuanjie Chinese Medicine Hospital, right? Our Chinese medicine is better than yours, and even our Western medicine is better than yours. I really don't know why the country allocates so much funding to you every year! Humph."

Ye Yongan suddenly thought that if this "Kuan Street Suture Method" was really invented by himself, then he must catch the young man in front of him.

As long as Dr. Kobayashi is transferred to work at Union Hospital, and his paper is packaged and submitted to an international medical journal, Union Hospital will be proud.

So Ye Yongan looked at Lin Sanqi with eager eyes:

"Comrade Xiaolin, on behalf of Union Hospital, I formally invite you to work at Union Hospital. You must have heard of our great name. We have the most advanced equipment and technical strength in the country, which will definitely give you an even greater advantage.

Talented people like you shouldn't stay at Kuanjie Chinese Medicine Hospital. Look, there's not even an operating room in a Chinese medicine hospital, and there's no antibiotics. Chinese medicine is completely different from Western medicine. Come to Union Hospital, and we'll meet any requests you have."

Dean Shen's beard stood up in anger when he heard this:

"Bullshit, Ye Yongan, are you a human being? Comrade Xiaolin is a talent trained by our Chinese Medicine Hospital. How could he possibly go to your Union Hospital?"

When the people outside heard this, they were all furious:

"That's right, Xiao Qi is from our Broad Street Hospital. What the hell are you from Union Hospital?"

"Vice President Ye, I think you should join our Broad Street Hospital!"

Lin Kucan said nothing. In fact, he was a little confused. A top Western medicine hospital like Union Medical College invited his son to work there, but their Lin family was obviously a family of traditional Chinese medicine. Five generations before them were all traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. When had they ever learned Western medicine?

Dean Shen cursed while glancing at Lin Sanqi.

He would never let Lin Sanqi go, not only because of Lin Sanqi's medical skills, but also because Lin Sanqi was a great man who could get food. Letting such a great man go? Unless Shen Guoming had a problem with his brain.

Lin Sanqi didn't want to leave either, as he knew his mediocre level.

Peking Union Medical College Hospital is a monument in the domestic medical community. If I go there, I will be exposed. I don’t have the confidence.

"Don't worry, Dean Shen. I am a Kuanjie person in life and a Kuanjie ghost in death. I will never go to Xiehe."

Before Dean Shen could be happy, Section Chief Quan asked weakly:

"Stop arguing! Have you forgotten there's a patient next door who urgently needs surgery?" (End of this chapter)
