Chapter 728: Chapter 297: Pushing the Ducks onto the Perch, Strength Really Makes a Difference_3
Zhou Can stood up and helped the three-year-old boy correct the position of his right arm.
Surprisingly, not long after the correction, the little boy stopped crying.
Clearly, it hurt less.
Such a small gesture immediately earned the preliminary trust of the family members.
The parents exchanged glances, their eyes brimming with joy.
When they looked at Zhou Can again, the previous disdain was replaced with a measure of trust and admiration.
For patients and their families, this kind of instant effect is exactly what they hope for.
"Dr. Zhou, please take a look at my son! Around nine this morning, he was playing alone in the dining area climbing chairs, and somehow he scrambled onto the back of a chair. The chair fell over, and when my wife got to him, he couldn’t lift his right arm. I was at work at the time, and when I received the call, I immediately asked for leave and came home to take my son to the doctor."
Children are naturally mischievous and like to try everything.
Boys tend to be more rambunctious than girls and have much bolder temperaments. It’s very common for unruly children to climb to high places and then get injured at the hospital.
"Let me check first, don’t move, what a good kid!" Zhou Can proceeded to conduct a preliminary physical examination on the boy.
The main check was for any obvious signs of head trauma.
Some children injure their heads, leading to intracranial hemorrhage, which is a very dangerous symptom.
If the attending doctor doesn’t discover it in time, it’s easy to miss the best window for emergency treatment.
After a thorough examination, Zhou Can did not find any obvious head trauma, swellings, or hematomas. Just a scraped nose.
"Let’s get him an X-ray request, take him to get an image. Be careful with the child’s arm; if it’s dislocated and lacking skeletal support, try not to twist it."
After requesting the X-ray, Zhou Can gave some instructions for care.
Getting an X-ray usually doesn’t take long.
Especially when the business of diagnostic and treatment services at Xiang Xiang Women’s and Children’s Medical Center has significantly declined and there aren’t many patients. Basically, there’s hardly any need to queue up for various examinations.
It’s only for color Doppler ultrasound and B-ultrasound that usually require waiting; for other examination departments, it’s generally not necessary.
In a women’s and children’s hospital, there tends to be a higher number of gynecology and obstetrics patients, and a significant demand for color Doppler ultrasound tests.
It’s quite common for hospitals with many patients to have people queue for several hours to have a color Doppler ultrasound test.
Before long, the family members came back with the child.
He was fine when they left, but now the little boy was crying loudly in pain again.
There was no helping it; during the X-ray for clear images of the skeletal position, they had to scan from at least two angles.
The boy’s arm hurting during this process due to movement, or change in position, is quite normal.
"Dr. Zhou, after getting the X-ray done, his arm was moved and it seemed very painful. The doctor who took the X-ray tried to adjust it a few times but it didn’t help, can you please try to fix it again?"
The love of a parent knows no bounds.
Seeing their son crying his heart out, the parents must be very anxious.
They would do anything to alleviate their child’s pain.
Zhou Can had previously demonstrated his skill, earning their trust in his medical expertise.
So they sought his help once more.
"Let’s hold him steady... ah, yes, that’s it." Zhou Can stood up once again and adjusted the little boy’s right arm position and angle, and the boy quickly stopped crying. "What a good kid."
Zhou Can didn’t forget to praise the little boy.
The little guy, with eyes brimming with tears, stared at Zhou Can intently.
His gaze was filled with curiosity and a sense of fondness.
Because he knew that this uncle in white, just by adjusting his right arm, could quickly make the pain subside.
"Dr. Zhou is truly an expert, so impressive!"
The boy’s father praised sincerely.
The doctor who took the X-ray had also helped correct the child’s arm position, but to no avail.
Skill is sometimes reflected in these specific clinical treatment processes.
"You flatter me!"
Zhou Can was modest in speech, but inwardly he was very pleased.
No doctor dislikes being praised by patients and families.
His proficiency was due to spending over a month learning in the orthopedic clinic’s reduction room. He gained a deeper understanding of the human skeletal and joint structure, as well as accumulated a wealth of clinical experience.
He only needed one glance to roughly determine the patient’s fractures, dislocations, and how to adjust the angle to reduce pain, which to him was a piece of cake.
At that moment, the reporter named Mu Qin was like a bee attracted by scent and buzzed over again.
She stood in the back without causing any disturbance, but the photographer’s lens was trained on Zhou Can.
As long as she didn’t pester him, Zhou Can naturally wouldn’t mind her.
He took the boy’s X-ray film to examine.
"Dr. Zhou, is my son’s arm injury serious? Does he need surgery?"
The boy’s mother asked anxiously.
