Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s-Chapter 1929: True or False

Both the school and Teacher Ren know that it’s not suitable for girls to be in the orthopedic department, so there’s no need to schedule her here.

Doctors from other departments in the hallway overheard this, and one turned to give Doctor Liu a "sucker punch": "Your orthopedics department has so much confidence, you think that just by submitting a request you can definitely get her to come to your department?"

Doctor Liu turned and found it was Doctor Xu from General Surgery Department One speaking, and refuted, "How do you know it’s impossible?"

"She must rotate through general surgery. Doctor Jiang from our department submitted the application early on, and it didn’t work. I don’t know who scheduled it, but they specifically put her in General Surgery Department Two. Also, our hospital’s OB-GYN department is waiting for her, thinking she would definitely come, but the management sent her to Beidou Third Hospital."

What they were saying was the truth. Student Xie’s internship schedule had amazed everyone since the beginning, as it was completely out of the ordinary.

"Is that so?" Doctor Liu, who previously didn’t know much about her situation, was now very surprised. "If what you say is true, the management’s arrangement for her is very unusual, maybe she really will come to our orthopedics department."

Doctor Liu’s train of thought seemed somewhat reasonable. The people from General Surgery Department One were furious, sneering at him: "You’re dreaming." It was exactly what Fu Xinheng had said before.

"How am I dreaming?" Doctor Liu was unhappy that the other party said this.

"Believe it or not, let her come try lifting the arms and legs of your immobile orthopedic patients first."

Doctors from other departments all knew how terrifying the physical labor in orthopedic was, which could deter anyone physically weak. To be honest, if it weren’t for the good earnings from ortho, with a big profit margin from surgical materials, not many doctors would be willing to suffer through the hard work in orthopedics.

During orthopedic surgeries, doctors first position the patient’s limbs appropriately before proceeding with the surgery, just moving them back and forth is exhausting. Because no one else can do this job, the doctor must do it themselves, knowing the right position and angle to adjust, not to mention a fractured patient’s limb seems as heavy as a shot put.

"We are spine surgery," Doctor Liu emphasized to the other party, spine surgery is not the same as general surgery, there’s no need to lift limbs.

Most of the patients lie flat on the bed, and then the surgery is performed.

"I don’t see much difference." The other party showed no mercy to Doctor Liu, even trying to intimidate Student Xie next to him, "You will soon find out that their place is not humane, especially unsuitable for girls. Girls staying in their department will end up with arms as thick as a cow’s."

"Get lost, go do your work." Doctor Liu couldn’t take it anymore, and stretched out his leg to kick the other party away.

Whether Doctor Xu’s words held any truth or not, Xie Wanying turned to look inside the operating room, noticing some items and practices were a bit different from surgeries in other departments, quite unique.

Although spine surgery seemed to involve operating on the patient’s spine without needing to touch limbs, after all, part of it still belonged to the orthopedics category, as Doctor Xu clearly stated it was orthopedics, thus some things used there were the same as in orthopedics, such as plaster.

Using plaster in orthopedics was very common. When ordinary people think of plaster, they naturally first associate it with orthopedics, but how much do they actually know about orthopedic plaster? It’s a question mark for outsiders. For instance, people outside the industry only know that plaster is hard and might mistakenly believe that hard plaster is directly applied to fractured limbs. In reality, the plaster most commonly used by orthopedic surgeons is more accurately called a plaster bandage.
