Ring ring ring, the phone rang, Shi Xu checked the caller ID for Tan Kelin: Ah, a call of concern from the hospital leadership.
The newcors were as well crowding around Tan Kelin’s right hand.
Yu Xuexian adjusted his glasses anxiously, frowning and nagging: "How could this happen? Didn’t you see the car? Who was driving?"
"Teacher Tan had just gotten out of the car. That car suddenly turned the corner and ca by; nobody could have anticipated it," Shi Xu explained, "Later, the person apologized, saying sothing seed to be wrong with the brake pads."
"Who was driving the car?"
There is an employee parking area within the hospital parking lot. Tan Kelin’s car must have been parked in the employee area. It seed that the accident was caused by a colleague from the hospital. Since it involved a colleague, the matter was a bit serious, and Tan Kelin did not want to ntion the person’s na. Shi Xu knew he didn’t want to play the bad guy, so he didn’t say it aloud either.
"Stop asking," said Cao Yong to the others, indicating that we must first respect the wishes of the parties involved. Besides, placing bla is pointless now; the most important thing is to determine the Chief Surgeon’s injury and whether it will affect the surgery.
Then, Cao Yong had Tan Kelin move his fingers, wrists, and arms to check the mobility of his hand.
"Better to let a bone specialist like check it," Chang Jiawei moved closer again, "What’s a neurosurgeon got to look at this for?"
"Why can’t a neurosurgeon take a look?" Shi Xu blocked Chang Jiawei from intervening repeatedly, knowing that this person definitely didn’t have good intentions. When seeing a doctor, you can’t go to one with a hidden agenda.
"I am a bone specialist, he’s a neurosurgeon; it’s not his specialty," Chang Jiawei argued with him.
While the two were arguing, Cao Yong finished observing the victim’s hand mobility and said, "The peripheral nerves are fine."
Peripheral nerves refer to all the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord central nervous system. In the hand, there are three main nerves—the radial, ulnar, and dian nerves—controlling sensation and movent. In public perception, neurosurgery is often thought to only treat the brain, with neurosurgery commonly called brain surgery. However, in the definition by the dical Association, neurosurgery certainly includes treatnt of peripheral nerves.
In the dostic situation, when limbs are injured, people generally fear fractures the most, so they run to orthopedics. Chang Jiawei was not wrong; for issues with just the hand, orthopedics could take a look. Such as carpal tunnel syndro, commonly known as mouse hand, patients usually ask orthopedic. If it were placed in neurosurgery, people might feel that the issue does not match up to the high-profile field of neurosurgery.
"Movent is not impeded. The bones should be fine too, he can assist Teacher Lu in the surgery," Zhu Hui Cang added to the diagnosis.
These superficial and obvious dical conditions did not need orthopedics to assess; any doctor could distinguish them. Doctors are required to learn about all specialties during their dical student days.
"It’s just an external skin injury," Yu Xuexian followed up, comforting himself first and foremost.
After all, to find a replacent for Tan Kelin in the surgery room for a surgery like Teacher Lu’s at a mont’s notice would be difficult.
Cao Yong’s expression was solemn, not so quick to take it lightly, and he asked the concerned person: "Does it hurt?"
A stitched wound not hurting would be strange. Pain can reduce the level of activity, and even occasional sharp pain can cause a person to completely stop using that part of the body, which is a neural reflex chanism of the human body. As a neurosurgeon, Cao Yong was very clear about this.
Will a doctor’s hand injury affect the use of that hand in surgery? It will, especially with very delicate surgical manipulations, unless the wound has healed and does not hurt at all.
