There are two molds on the table. You can tell at a glance that one is for skin suture and the other is for tendon suture.
Xie Wan thought of the scoring criteria that the invigilator had mentioned before the exam, which was that the best results would be achieved if the suturing was fast, beautiful, tight, and smooth. She felt that she could at least get a high score in terms of speed.
But that doesn’t seem to be enough…
Zhou Aimin frowned when she placed the first needle.
Then he looked away and looked at other people.
Wu Jian bared his teeth and couldn't help but want to laugh, "This girl, is she going to show off her skills?"
The current surgical technology in our country is not as advanced as it will be in later generations.
For skin suturing, everyone uses traditional suturing methods, which is nothing new.
But Xie Wan came from later times. After the 1990s, skin suturing methods had made great progress.
Although she used to be a veterinarian, those pets were sometimes more precious than humans.
Pet owners simply cannot accept that a noble dog worth tens of thousands of dollars has an ugly scar on its skin.
Therefore, Xie Wan had learned all the skin suturing techniques used in later generations.
When Xie Wan demonstrated the subcutaneous suture method to Wu Jian for the first time, Wu Jian was surprised.
It’s not that Wu Jian didn’t know this suturing method. After all, he had returned from studying abroad and had been exposed to this suturing method.
However, this suturing method has not yet been popularized in China, and he doesn't know where Xie Wan learned it.
The half-siblings also discussed and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of this suturing method.
The conclusion was that this suture method was too difficult, but it was indeed suitable for deep wounds and could reduce scar formation.
Wu Jian really didn't expect that Xie Wan would use the subcutaneous suture method right from the start.
As soon as Zhou Aimin took the first look, he thought that Xie Wan had chosen the wrong needle placement, so he lost interest in reading any further.
But other instructors had no prejudice against Xie Wan.
At first, they also thought Xie Wan's technique was a bit strange. The female teacher named Su took a closer look and discovered that Xie Wan was using the subcutaneous suture method. She became interested and stood beside Xie Wan to watch carefully.
Xie Wan's speed was extremely fast. Although the subcutaneous suture method required the sutures to be buried under the skin, which increased the difficulty and time of the operation, Xie Wan's speed was not slower than others, and was even faster.
Teacher Su is also a knowledgeable person.
Although she herself did not know how to sew this method, she had seen it in medical journals.
"As expected of Lao Zhou's apprentice, he actually knows how to sew subcutaneously, and he sews so well, amazing!"
Teacher Su gave a thumbs up to Xie Wan and Zhou Aimin in his heart.
Several other instructors saw Teacher Su paying attention to Xie Wan and came over to take a closer look.
A teacher muttered: "Is this the subcutaneous suture method popular abroad? Foreigners love to be vain. I heard that this suture method can reduce scars?"
Teacher Su nodded, and the other teachers gathered around Xie Wan to watch.
Why hasn't subcutaneous suture become popular in the country in this era?
Because many doctors in China regard subcutaneous suture as something flashy and impractical.
The main reason is that the time it takes for an average person to sew three stitches using traditional suturing methods is only one stitch using subcutaneous suturing methods.
It takes at least several months to master a suturing method to master level.
The army is a place where scars are regarded as medals of honor, and no one thinks it is necessary to waste energy practicing this new suturing method.
But if someone has really mastered this suturing method, everyone still thinks it is amazing.
Xie Wan's movements were too fast.
One can almost see the afterimage of the needle-holding forceps flying around. What a dexterous pair of hands!
"The little girl is a natural born surgeon," a teacher exclaimed.
For a surgeon, it is so important to have a pair of dexterous hands!
When Xie Wan finished suturing the 30 stitches required for the exam, Teacher Su was the first to grab Xie Wan's work.
"Beautiful!" Teacher Su couldn't help but praise.
Several other teachers gave the same evaluation.
They originally thought that Xie Wan's stitching would be of poor quality due to her fast speed, but after seeing the finished product, they could only describe it as beautiful and perfect.
Xie Wan was the first to complete the skin suture. She had already taken the mold for tendon suture and started the operation.
At this time, Zhou Aimin also found something wrong. Why did these people all go to watch Xie Wan get stitched?
Could it be that Xie Wan made such a fool of himself that those people were treating him as a joke?
But he just clearly heard Teacher Su praise her as "beautiful".
Curiosity made Zhou Aimin unable to help but come over.
Teacher Su was so attracted by Xie Wan's suture that he had no time to exchange pleasantries with Zhou Aimin. However, he still praised him, "Director Zhou, a good teacher produces good students. Were you just trying to hide your incompetence?"
Zhou Aimin was confused by what he heard.
Several other teachers also gave Zhou Aimin a thumbs up, "Director Zhou, you are a very talented person.
Even the subcutaneous suture of your disciple is so wonderful. When did you secretly study subcutaneous suture yourself?"
Zhou Aimin was confused. "What subcutaneous suture?"
Zhou Aimin does know how to perform subcutaneous sutures, but he didn't teach this skill to his disciples?
Everyone thought he was showing off and handed Xie Wan's work to him to see, "If this isn't subcutaneous suture, what is it?"
Zhou Aimin was a little bit unbelievable. He had a good eye for professional stuff.
He could tell at a glance that the suture work was indeed done using the subcutaneous suture method, and it was done perfectly.
