The road to the rise of great doctors

Chapter 7
The urology internship was carried out in an orderly manner. During this period, Liu Dong followed Zhu Guoliang to perform several small and medium-sized urological operations, such as testicular biopsy, hydrocele resection, vasectomy, and cystostomy.
Liu Dong's newly obtained skin subcutaneous suturing technique was not fully demonstrated, and he felt quite melancholy that "the rich cannot return to their hometown with rich clothes".

According to the rotation plan, interns rotate in a department for one month, and now the second week is coming to an end.

Liu Dong decided to seize the remaining time in the Department of Urology and capture the essence of the department.

On the last day of the second week, he found Zhu Guoliang at a free time, handed over a bottle of Pulse, and said: "Mr. Zhu, I am quite interested in urology. But the internship time is too short. Is there anything I can do about it?" Is there a way to get more exposure to different diseases and participate in more surgeries?"

Zhu Guoliang was a little surprised, took a meaningful look at Liu Dong, and said, "Sure enough, I read you right, boy. You were as good as I was back then. Do you want to follow me on duty tomorrow? Most departments will arrange interns to be on duty. There are supplementary classes, but we have few emergency departments and we feel sorry for you, so we have no arrangements."

After a pause, he continued: "Participating in duty will encounter patient needs that cannot be met during the day, in-hospital consultation, and sometimes various types of emergency operations. When other people are on duty, you can also stay in the department help."

"I understand." Liu Dong followed suit, paused for a moment, and then asked: "Then I'll come back normally tomorrow. Then I won't disturb you."

Zhu Guoliang watched Liu Dong walk away and nodded silently.

Judging from his experience with countless interns, Liu Dong is also very different.

The main operations that interns can master are suturing and knotting. Liu Dong showed good basic skills during the emergency operation and the subsequent operations, as well as his calm expression during the operation. It shows that Liu Dong has the potential to become an excellent surgeon.

On Saturday morning, while his roommates were still sleeping soundly, Liu Dong had already gotten up quietly.

Today he plans to follow Zhu Guoliang closely.

Since I have chosen a far place, I will only take care of both wind and rain.

Medicine is hard work, talent and hard work are both very important.

One minute on stage, ten years off stage, the same applies.

In the morning, I went to check on the recovery status of several patients after surgery.

The recovery from the emergency surgery was pretty good, the edema had subsided somewhat, but not completely, and the incisions were healing well. After repeated instructions for precautions, the couple accepted many words of thanks.Others were relatively stable. Some bladder irritation symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency after cystostomy surgery were somewhat relieved after symptomatic treatment.

Liu Dong followed Zhu Guoliang to see other patients in the ward who complained of discomfort, and found that excipients had leaked out and needed to be replaced, those with worsening difficulty in urination had a urinary catheter left, and those with post-operative hematuria formed blood clots that blocked the urinary catheter and flushed it repeatedly. .
At noon, Zhu Guoliang looked at Liu Dong and asked, "How do you feel on duty?"

"It's okay." Liu Dong said concisely. What could he say? He couldn't say that he wanted to have some emergency surgery quickly and didn't want to waste time here.

In Zhu Guoliang's eyes, Liu Dong was full of enthusiasm when he first entered clinical practice, but after more experience, he became an experienced doctor.

Zhu Guoliang said to Liu Dong with rare patience: "Most of the urology departments are relatively stable during normal times. Renal colic caused by stones is more common in emergency rooms. Trauma to the kidneys, bladder or male reproductive system is relatively rare."

After a brief pause, he continued: "However, after you work, you will find that few people look forward to emergency operations, and departments that can perform elective or limited-time surgeries will be more popular. Urology is a department with a relatively balanced work and life. You Your performance is good, and I mentioned it to the leader. If you want to choose our leader as a mentor in the future, you can add impression points. However, don’t expect any special care. During the internship, be diligent and sweet, and you won’t suffer."

It's quieter in the afternoon and first half of the night.

Zhu Guoliang and Liu Dong both returned to the duty room, prepared to undress and rest, putting the duty phones aside.

Just a few minutes after 22:00, the phone rang.

Zhu Guoliang took the call, hung up and said to Liu Dong: "Come on, let's go to the emergency room."

When Liu Dong and Liu Dong came to the emergency department, the first thing they felt was a sense of impatience.

It was almost 23:00, and the emergency department was still crowded.There are chaotic patients and various illnesses, crying and noise, as well as rushing nurses and busy doctors.

"The emergency department is like this." Zhu Guoliang walked indifferently, and introduced: "There is no distinction between people getting sick sooner or later, and the emergency department of the hospital also has no sooner or later. But during the day, there are other orthopedics and general surgery departments. Concentrated in the emergency department.”

"Doctor Zhu, the consultant is inside." The nurse on duty greeted Zhu Guoliang, and then pointed in the direction of the emergency room.
