Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 728

Chapter 728: Chapter 336: This Isn’t Gastroenteritis, Practicing Knots on Cotton_3

"Where can you find tofu blocks nowadays?"

"I’ll get you some cotton. You can practice tying knots on the cotton; it’s the same."

Li Jingsheng got her a ball of cotton.

"When tying knots, you must first ensure that this ball of cotton doesn’t move. Because once it moves, it means there’s a strong pulling force acting on it. When suturing fragile tissues, it can cause damage or even tear them directly."

He guided Ou Qinglan step by step to improve her knot-tying skills.

"How do I do this?!"

She tried, but found that the cotton moved even before the needle was fully through.

"Tying knots and suturing are actually twin skills, each complementing the other. I’ll demonstrate for you."

Li Jingsheng smiled and took the needle holder and toothed forceps from her hand.

"When the needle passes through, you can use the forceps to gently fix the tissue and prevent it from moving. See? No problem passing it through!"

Li Jingsheng performed the suture effortlessly.

His suturing skill had reached a masterful level, so high that he could almost suture extremely delicate tissues or mucosa.

"Once it’s through, tie the knot. You can practice two-handed knot tying first. Once you’re adept, try one-handed knot tying."

As he spoke, he easily completed a beautiful square knot.

The knot sat snugly on the surface of the cotton, fitting tightly.

If it were fragile tissue like mucosa, this knot would surely be tied successfully.

"Wow, watching you is like watching a game; you’re so relaxed! Let me try again."

She was full of admiration for her boyfriend’s skill after watching him operate.

Unable to resist, she picked up the tools to try again.

That ball of cotton was completely uncooperative; as the needle passed through, not only would it move, but even when held with forceps, it would be squashed.

This indicated that there was considerable force acting on it.

That would definitely be unacceptable.

For delicate blood vessels or intestinal walls, such force would tear them instantly.

"Don’t rush, take it slowly. I’ve practiced many times before becoming this skilled."

Li Jingsheng guided her from the side.

The master leads you to the door, but cultivation depends on the individual.

When starting to learn, a teacher might guide some mistakes. But after learning the basics, it’s all up to personal insight and practice.

It’s like writing; a teacher can write a beautiful Chinese character and teach the method to students. Some students practice diligently, and their writing becomes more beautiful, while others show little improvement.

It’s all up to personal understanding and practice.

Ou Qinglan had no choice but to practice seriously. Li Jingsheng sat beside her.

At this time, his phone gave a ding, indicating a message.
