Since 1981 Health School

  Chapter 162 Do the first minor surgery

  The person who came was Song Dahai from the guest house.

  President Yan is still a little strange: "Isn't this the sea, who are you looking for? Doctor Xiao Chen?"

"Uncle Quan Xin, I came to find Dr. Chen. He told me last night that the corns on my feet can be treated with a minor operation. I asked for a day off today. I must put this harmful His corns were cut."

   "Corns? Surgery?"

  Principal Yan was full of questions, and turned to look at Chen Qi: "Xiao Chen, you, do you know how to perform this operation?"

   "Yes, corn surgery is not complicated, I can do it with my eyes closed."

  Chen Qi must speak decisively. If he is modest at this time, he will give others the impression that he is a two-handed swordsman and a braggart.

  He is definitely going to do surgery, there is no doubt about it, he would rather die if he doesn’t do surgery, so we need to get everyone mentally prepared from now on.

  Dean Yan is a bit embarrassed:

   "But, our hospital doesn't have a surgery department. We don't have any surgical instruments and anesthesia to cut corns."

  Chen Qi said indifferently:

   "It's okay, Dean Yan. Before I came to Huangtan, the People's Hospital gave me a set of simple surgical equipment. I also have a few anesthesia needles. It just so happens that Dahai is lucky, so I'll cut him first."

  Dean Yan has more and more question marks in his heart.

  I thought to myself, what is the origin of this Chen Qi? How did you get involved with the People's Hospital? Why do people send a technical secondary school student with surgical tools? Since the relationship is so close, why did you come to Huangtan?

  Chen Qi didn't think of what he said, and the little old man thought about it for a long time.

  But he didn't have time to take care of these things. He just happened to be assigned a new office, which just happened to be useful.

   "Dahai, come on, you first go to the backyard to find a foot bucket, soak the soles of your feet in water for half an hour to soften the skin, and I will go to the dormitory to get the surgical tools."

   Song Dahai was excited when he heard that he could really have an operation: "Okay."

   After finishing speaking, he hurried to the backyard. Huangtan Town is not a big place, and everyone is from the village, and they are all familiar with each other, so there is no restraint.

  It happened to be not busy this morning, and everyone was surprised when they heard that the new technical secondary school students had to move their little hands on the first day of work.

  Ni Meiying was the first to jump out again, appearing behind Dean Yan like a ghost:

   "Dean, is this little doctor Chen playing for real or fake? He is a fresh graduate student, but he can actually perform surgery? Don't cause trouble."

  Li Hong from the Western Pharmacy also pouted:

   "Young people nowadays are really fearless. Just think about those brats back then. They dared to smash anything and destroy everything, tsk tsk tsk."

  Dean Yan frowned:

   "Stop saying a few words, Xiao Chen is willing to perform surgery, so he must have his own confidence. Besides, if our hospital can really carry out surgery, it will be beneficial to everyone when the business increases."

  Dean Yan’s words did not stop everyone’s discussion, but instead aroused everyone’s interest, and they lost their minds about going to work.

   Half an hour later, when Chen Qi was about to start the operation, the door of the office was already full of people, ahem, of course, it was mainly the staff of the health center and guest house, and even the windows were full of people.

  Everyone wants to see how this corn is operated?

  Corns are localized, conical keratin hyperplasia caused by long-term pressure and friction on the skin of the foot, commonly known as "spurs". People who stand and walk for a long time are more prone to it, and friction and compression are the main causes.

  Mountain people have to climb mountains and ridges every day and use their feet excessively, so corns are also a very common skin disease.

  Although this disease is not a major problem, it is very painful and seriously affects life and work. For example, Song Dahai, because of corns, cannot climb the mountain road, and cannot even go home.

  The usual treatment is to apply some Chinese herbal medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, but it doesn't have much effect.

  Chen Qi has also become accustomed to being watched by others. For people in the early 1980s, surgery was a very rare thing. Back then, it was spectacular to watch people in the sidewalk.

  Watching Chen Qi begin to disinfect the soles of Song Dahai's feet with a tan cotton ball, Dean Yan squatted beside him like a curious baby.

   "Xiao Chen, what kind of disinfectant is this? I haven't seen it before."

   "Dean Yan, this is called iodophor, oh, it's actually iodine, but the concentration is a little lower."

   These days, alcohol is used for disinfection in health centers, or purple syrup, red syrup, etc. Iodine is rare, let alone iodophor.

   Then Chen Qi opened the surgical bag, revealing the shiny silver surgical instruments inside, which made the onlookers exclaim.

  President Yan was a little surprised, and his tone was not lacking in sourness: "This People's Hospital is really a big dog, and such good surgical instruments are willing to give away, we can't afford to buy them even if we want to."

  Chen Qi smiled: "You think everyone will give it away. If it wasn't for the chief surgical director who is my teacher, I would not give it away if I changed someone."

  President Yan swallowed his words again. In fact, he really wanted to ask, since you have such a good relationship with the director of the Department of Surgery, why don't you stay at the People's Hospital?

  Chen Qi had already extracted the lidocaine needle with a needle:

   "Dahai, I'm going to take anesthesia now. It hurts a bit when I first took it, so bear with it."

   "Dr. Chen, you can beat it anyway, what is this little pain? No problem."

  Chen Qi wasn't too polite, he directly stabbed the needle into the sole of the foot around the corn, and beat it in a circle, Song Dahai was already gnashing his teeth in pain.

  The crowd of onlookers was also numb for a while, and many people made tsk tsk sounds from their mouths.

  Chen Qi held the scalpel, thinking that this is where it is going, and the more disgusting ones are still behind. Thinking of this, a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth.

  Everyone held their breath and concentrated, waiting to see what the next step would be. What they saw was that Dr. Chen raised and lowered the knife in his hand, and with two slashes, he made an eye-like incision around the corn.

  Blood flowed down all at once.

   "Ah~~~~"

   A few timid women screamed and quickly closed their eyes. This was cutting flesh from a living person, and they had goose bumps all over their bodies.

  The doctors in the health center are okay, but they are also secretly surprised. It seems that this newcomer is not a good person. The knife is steady and ruthless.

  Instead, Song Dahai was expressionless because he couldn't see the soles of his feet, and it didn't hurt even with anesthesia.

  "Yan Curious Baby" started to ask again: "Xiao Chen, is there any particularity to this corn operation?"

   "Well, corn surgery must be done close to the edge of the corn. When cutting, dig a little deeper and remove the root, otherwise it will easily recur in the future."
