National Physician: One Person Supports a Top-Tier Hospital

Why do experts and directors from various top-tier hospitals frequently appear at a community clinic? Why do nationally renowned experts and professors often visit a township-level health center?

Chapter 13 Debridement and Suture

Yun Heng asked silently in his heart.

As Yun Heng asked questions, Yun Heng's detailed information appeared on the panel.

Name: Yun Heng.

Gender: Male

Age: 27

Job title: Junior

Internal Medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine: 2

Acupuncture and massage: 1

Bone setting and reduction: 0 (not yet started)

Surgery: 0 (not yet entered)

After reading his own information, Yun Heng had a more intuitive understanding of himself.

When Yun Heng was in school, he majored in integrated Chinese and Western medicine, which is honestly a pretty tricky major.

Speaking objectively, the integration of Chinese and Western medicine is not actually a major. After all, Chinese and Western medicine are two completely different systems and cannot be combined in theory. So, students majoring in the integration of Chinese and Western medicine, to put it bluntly, have to learn both Chinese and Western medicine. What can they learn by studying both subjects in the same amount of time?

Moreover, it is difficult to find a job after graduating from this major. In the words of many people, they are neither good at literature nor martial arts. Western medicine is not as good as those who specialize in Western medicine, and Chinese medicine is not as good as those who specialize in Chinese medicine. Naturally, they are not valued.

The advantage is that this major has only been established recently in many universities, and the admission score is relatively low. If Yun Heng had applied for other majors, he would have been worried that he would not be admitted, so he chose the integrated Chinese and Western medicine.

However, during the eight years in school, students are mostly exposed to theories. Whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, it is definitely based on theory. In the absence of too much clinical practice, too much theory will indeed increase the level of internal medicine.

This time, Yun Heng entered the simulation space and also entered the category of Traditional Chinese Medicine Internal Medicine. His internal medicine level reached level 2, which was not surprising to him.

In other areas, I only practiced and came into contact with acupuncture and massage in school, at level 1. I had basically no contact with orthopedics and surgery, as these two require more hands-on skills.

"It's okay, take it slow, after all, I'm just a newbie."

Yun Heng was not discouraged at all.

After drinking two sips of water, Yun Heng decided to enter the surgical category space to practice first.

In community hospitals, there are not many patients with severe and critical conditions. Most of them are patients with colds, fevers, headaches, fever, coughs, etc., plus some patients with chronic diseases, such as chronic gastritis, chronic gastroenteritis, etc., and occasionally patients with simple external trauma are also encountered.

For example, you accidentally cut yourself with a knife, or you fell and got a little skin scraped off.

There are no specialized surgeons in the West Asia Community Hospital. In addition to the three consulting rooms, there is also a treatment room. He Haipeng and Zhou Suyun can more or less handle some simple traumatic wounds. There is no pressure to sew three or five stitches. If the wound is not big or serious, it can be handled at the community hospital.

Yun Heng is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and originally did not need to learn these things, but with the simulation space, there is no harm in learning more. In addition, he has conflicts with He Haipeng, so the more he knows, the less afraid he is of being squeezed out by others.

What if He Haipeng starts yelling in a few days that he can’t do this or that?

In small hospitals, the division of doctors' specialties is not that detailed. Doctors in such community hospitals should actually be general practitioners. They don't need to be very skilled. At the very least, they should know a little bit about everything and be able to solve all kinds of minor problems. Only then can they be qualified.

After the communication panel, Yun Heng felt a flash before his eyes, and he found himself in a treatment room. There was already a patient next to him with a broken forehead and bleeding.

The biggest advantage of being in a simulated space is that you don’t have to be afraid. You can do whatever you want without any hesitation, because the patient is not a real person anyway.

Yun Heng was not nervous at all. He went forward to check the situation. The wound was not big and did not need to be sutured. It was relatively simple to clean the wound, disinfect it, and apply medicine.

Although the panel shows that Yun Heng's current surgical level is not yet entry-level, a wound in this situation can be handled by anyone with a little medical knowledge, let alone Yun Heng.

The conditions of patients in the simulation space are arranged from easy to difficult. As long as there are no mistakes, the severity of the patients' conditions will continue to improve.

When seeing the fifth patient, Yun Heng encountered the first patient who needed sutures.

The patient's wound was actually not too big, but it was scratched by glass and was located at the finger joint. It was an open wound. If it was not sutured, the tension and traction would be relatively large, making it difficult to recover.

Yun Heng had never done this before in school. He just watched others sew it. Now he could only rely on memory to imitate. Anyway, there was no need to worry about making mistakes. If he made a mistake, the panel would correct it and give the correct operation method.

Having never operated before, the result is predictable. Yun Heng couldn't insert the needle for a long time. His wrist was shaking as he held the needle holder. This is a process that a newcomer with no operating experience must go through.

The operation failed, Yun Heng exited the simulation space and began to look at the operations on the panel.

The panel can actually be opened in the simulation space. Patient Yun Heng who makes an incorrect operation can practice repeatedly until he gets it right. In other words, he can actually practice in the simulation space while watching the operations on the panel.

However, people have to spend time in the simulation space, and Yun Heng is unwilling to waste time like this. Therefore, when an error occurs, he will exit the simulation space and then learn.

This time, the panel showed a picture instead of text. There was no doctor's face. Then came the operation part: debridement, anesthesia, and then suturing. There were also subtitles on the screen.

During this process, Yun Heng can watch and learn repeatedly, and imitate while watching.

This time, Yun Heng was no longer in a hurry to enter the simulation space. He just watched other people's operation process and operating techniques. He knew that his basic knowledge was too poor and it would be a waste of time to enter now. If he wanted to suture, he must first hold the needle and forceps without shaking his hands. If he couldn't do this, everything else would be a joke, like a castle in the air, and simply unrealistic.
