Chapter 192: Debridement and Suture
"Is this okay?" Li Yanan was a little worried.
"Of course it's no problem. The pain is nothing to him."
When Wu Xiangdong thought about the time when he was debriding him, the young man could remain silent. Now it was just a matter of hanging a few stitches and sewing up the flesh. Naturally, it was no problem.
"All right."
After hearing this, Li Yanan could only follow Wu Xiangdong's request, open the circular needle and suture and hand it to him.
Wu Xiangdong took the needle and thread, held the circular needle with the needle holder, put the suture thread through the needle hole of the circular needle with the other hand, and then folded the suture line in half along the needle hole according to the length of the wound to be sutured, leaving a long and
Short two lines.
"Just bear with it a little bit, it'll be fine in a while."
After Wu Xiangdong finished speaking to the young man, he controlled the hemostatic forceps with his left hand, picked up the opened skin and gently lifted it, and used his right hand to use the needle holder with the needle and thread to reach one side of the skin.
As the needle tip aimed at the cortex, Wu Xiangdong exerted force on his wrist, and the silver-white needle tip passed directly through the thick epidermis and reached the opposite side.
Wu Xiangdong then repeated the previous operation, then lifted up the skin on the other side of the wound, and used the same method to pass the circular needle through, leaving only a black silk thread between the wounds.
Although Wu Xiangdong's operation steps are very complicated, in fact, in the blink of an eye, he has completed the first stitch.
However, Wu Xiangdong did not tie the knot or cut the thread at this time, but directly started the second stitch.
He moved quickly, and the instruments he used with his hands shone under the light, and the sutures in his hands were more like a dragon hovering in the air, rising and falling.
One stitch, two stitches, three stitches...
In an instant, Wu Xiangdong's operation had completed most of the suturing of the bone-deep wound.
"Doctor Wu, you are going too fast."
Li Yanan on the side was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
No wonder he doesn't need to give patients anesthesia.
It is estimated that Wu Xiangdong's suturing operation will be completed before the anesthetic takes effect.
"Is it fast? Just so so." Faced with Li Yanan's exclamation, Wu Xiangdong seemed very calm, as if he had long been accustomed to such scenes.
Just when Li Yanan was stunned, he stopped what he was doing and picked up the sterile scissors beside him.
He looked at the dense black threads intertwined on both sides of the flesh, clamped the reserved thread with the hemostat in his left hand, and then gently pulled it behind him.
The next scene completely shocked Li Yanan.
I saw that the wound that was originally open and fleshy was closing little by little as the thread was pulled.
"It felt like a zipper was holding the wound together."
Li Yanan looked at the tightly closed wounds and was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.
I saw that the young man's originally injured arm had almost no scars except for the needle holes used to fix the skin on the surface, as if it had never been injured before.
"Okay, the sewing is done."
Wu Xiangdong took a look at the incision, and after making sure it was not bleeding, he used the sterile scissors that had been prepared to cut off the pulled out thread.
Then he patted the young man and asked, "How do you feel?"
"Nothing...feeling."
Even the young man was a little confused now. When he heard that he would need stitches without anesthesia, his whole body was inevitably a little nervous, and even his muscles were tense.
But before he could recover, Wu Xiangdong had already completed the debridement and suturing. At this time, except for the slight swelling and pain in his arm, the boy could also move his entire arm.
"So you can talk."
Seeing that the young man actually spoke, Li Yanan was a little surprised.
"..."
The young man sat up from the bed and looked at the mess he had made in the debridement room. He still lowered his head and did not dare to look at Wu Xiangdong and the others.
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, we won't force it." Seeing the young man's appearance, Wu Xiangdong was not prepared to make things difficult for him, but simply gave him a few words of advice.
But Li Yanan on the side was not worried about the young man, and kept telling him the precautions.
For example, you cannot exert force on an injured arm for a week, otherwise it will easily collapse.
Also, keep wounds away from water, take antibiotics to prevent infection, tetanus if necessary, etc...
Seeing how seriously Li Yanan spoke, the young man opened his mouth, as if he was hesitant to speak. After several struggles, he finally lowered his head.
At this time, Wu Xiangdong, who was quietly sorting things aside, spoke.
"Yanan, please help me go to the treatment room to get some debridement kits. The ones here are not enough."
Li Yanan was startled by the sudden words. She glanced at Wu Xiangdong doubtfully, but still agreed: "Okay, Doctor Wu, I'll get it right away."
As Li Yanan left, Wu Xiangdong could clearly see that the young man breathed a sigh of relief. Just when he didn't know how to face the next thing, Wu Xiangdong seemed to see what was on his mind.
"Let's go before she comes back."
As soon as this statement came out, the young man was obviously taken aback.
He looked at Wu Xiangdong in disbelief, as if he didn't expect him to say that.
"Are you surprised?" Wu Xiangdong looked at the young man in front of him, his tone still cold: "It's your luck this time that you didn't hurt any important parts, so you were able to last so long in the emergency room."
"If you still want to do this next time and use this method to seek medical treatment when you are injured, it is impossible for the goddess of luck to favor you a second time. There may not even be anyone to collect your body by then."
Wu Xiangdong's words were very rude. He could tell that the young man in front of him had gone astray. This world of hacking and slashing might have an irresistible attraction for such a passionate young man in his late teens.
But he wants to get a chance to stand out through this method, and it is very likely that he will pay the price with his life if he is not careful.
From Wu Xiangdong's point of view, this kind of behavior that is not worth the gain is simply undesirable.
"I'm sorry... I can't help it." The young man felt extremely guilty when he thought about the trouble he had just caused everyone.
"Everyone who encounters difficulties will say this, but think about it, is it really because you have no way, or is it because you don't want to work hard to change the status quo?"
Wu Xiangdong's words stunned the young man for a moment. He got off the bed, his eyes seemed to be a little more thoughtful.
"Thanks."
He covered his arms, bowed deeply to Wu Xiangdong, and then said: "Please thank the nurse just now for me, thank her for not giving up on me."
The young man's words were full of gratitude, which surprised Wu Xiangdong.
But the young man knew in his heart that he was often injured and bled due to various conflicts over the years.
When I came to the hospital before, when passers-by saw him like this, they would hide in a distant place and whisper, for fear of getting into trouble.
Even the doctors and nurses in the hospital felt like meeting the god of plague when they saw him. Although they didn't say it with their mouths, they never deliberately concealed the disgust and disgust in their eyes.
Therefore, when he came to the emergency department after being injured this time, he would sit in the corner without saying a word, waiting for everyone to finish their work before going to seek medical treatment. But what he didn't expect this time was to meet Li Yanan.
Her enthusiasm and responsibility, especially the way she dealt with people without any colored glasses, made the young man unforgettable for the rest of his life. If it had been in the past, he might have mustered up the courage to ask her name.
But now, when the young man thought about his identity, he felt regret and despair for the first time.
"Okay, I understand." Seeing the young man's lonely eyes, Wu Xiangdong sighed, "I will tell her what you said. Come on, she will be back later."
"Please." The young man bowed again, then held his arms and left the emergency department.
