Chapter 123 Bone Setting Skill, Enemies on a Narrow Road_2
But for a low-ranking nurse, even if someone is just an ordinary clerk at the Health Bureau, that still counts as a leader.
In fact, if they can last until they are grandparents' age, no matter what, at the very least they can work their way up to a section-level official.
"Since it's a superior's grandson, it's only right to take care of him. How can we let him wait until after 2 pm with such a busy leader? Fortunately, I'm not too busy right now, you can bring the child in!"
Doctor Shan quickly changed her tone.
Zhou Can couldn't help but be eye-opening; today was certainly a learning experience.
Even the proudest of doctors are more or less the same in the face of leaders.
At most, it's just a matter of how subservient they are.
The child was soon brought into the operating room, and his grandfather followed into the first door outside.
This was a white-haired old man, still appearing quite vigorous.
"May I ask which one of you is Doctor Shan?"
"I am! Hello!"
Doctor Shan lowered her posture.
"My name is Qiu Jianye, I work in the Health Bureau of the West District, if you ever have matters there, feel free to visit my office for tea," the old man said, having surely learned which doctor held the highest status in the operating room from the nurses beforehand.
This old man didn't mention his own position, he didn't even say which department he worked in.
Others might not catch it, but Zhou Can felt that this person was putting on airs.
At most, he was probably a deputy section-level official, or even lower. And the department he worked in was likely one without much real power.
"Alright, thank you! I will treat your grandson now, you can sit and rest on the chairs outside the operation room."
She spoke very tactfully.
It was clear she was asking him to leave, but she couldn't just directly say something like, 'please, go out.'
Instead, she used a caring tone, inviting the other party to rest on the chairs outside the operating room.
This way, not only wouldn't the person feel offended, but they would also think the doctor was quite warm.
After the old man left the operating room, Doctor Shan examined the X-rays the child had taken.
"The situation is quite good, it's just a shoulder dislocation, and it will be fine after repositioning and suspending it in a sling around the neck for three to four weeks."
She made a diagnostic conclusion after looking at the X-rays.
"Little friend, how old are you?"
"Six!"
The child spoke up, revealing the gap of a missing front tooth.
Looking at his teeth all black, he had serious dental caries.
He definitely hadn't been short of sweets normally.
Eating too many sweets can cause osteoporosis and a weak constitution.
This can lead to a higher risk of fractures and dislocations in children.
"Does this arm hurt a lot?"
"Uh-huh! It hurts!"
He bit his lip, eyes brimming with tears.
"In a moment, when I reposition your arm, it will hurt a little bit. But once the pain passes, your illness will be cured, and it won't hurt anymore. You're a brave little man, aren't you? Can you tolerate it?"
Doctor Shan was doing some mental preparation with the little boy.
"I can!"
Kids are the most innocent and pure.
Praise them for being brave, and they'll really show you their bravery.
"Dr. Zhou, could you please come behind the child, hold his shoulders."
"Alright!"
Zhou Can embraced the little boy from behind, supporting his right shoulder.
This little boy's body was thinner and more fragile than expected, very light.
Modern parents can be too indulgent with their kids. All kinds of junk food to fill them up.
Actually, it's harming the children.
Doctor Shan grabbed the child's arm with one hand and his elbow with the other, first helping him relax his muscles.
Then she slowly rotated.
"Little friend, have you started school?"
"Kindergarten, senior class!"
"Wow, turns out you're a big kid at school already, no wonder you're so brave! What does your granddad do?"
"The teachers often praise me too! My granddad... uh, seems to be in AIDS prevention and... ouch... wuwu, it hurts so much!" The little boy had just started answering when Doctor Shan found the right spot and, with a swift push and press, used a clever move.
Zhou Can heard a "crack" - the sound of the shoulder joint being repositioned successfully.
The intense pain of the repositioning made this 'brave' little boy cry.
Tears streaming down his face.
If not mistaken, his grandfather works at the AIDS prevention department of the Health Bureau.
No wonder he sought out Doctor Shan, an attending physician, to cut in line and had to personally greet her in the operating room.
If it were a leader with real power, a single phone call would have sufficed.
[Congratulations, you've acquired the Bone Setting Skill, which enables the proper repositioning of displaced fracture ends and the treatment of soft tissue injuries, repositioning dislocated joints to restore motor function.]
Zhou Can just assisted a bit and, unexpectedly, gained a medical skill.
However, during the assistance, he truly learned the method of repositioning the shoulder joint.
At least in his mind, he had a clear and complete idea of what to do.
Having learned the Bone Setting Skill is quite valuable in Orthopedics.
Even if you don't know anything else, just by doing manual repositioning in the clinic, you could make a living for a lifetime.
"Bring the bandage roll over!"
After successfully repositioning the child's dislocated shoulder, Doctor Shan then suspended it around his neck with a bandage.
After dislocating a shoulder, it needs careful treatment afterward. For a short time, one should not lift heavy objects, make vigorous swinging movements, etc.
Otherwise, it might dislocate again.
Those itinerant performers you see can simply hang their arm and swing it a couple of times to dislocate it.
In reality, that's because frequent dislocations have led to habitual shoulder dislocations.
Many, to achieve the effects needed for performances, have been practicing since childhood.
Because dislocating an arm is extremely painful, a child of a few years would definitely not practice voluntarily. It's the troupe leaders and acrobat masters who forcibly dislocate the child's arm. The goal is to win the audience's sympathy and earn more tips.
