Chapter 92 Expert-Level Suturing! ~ (Seeking first subscription)

Lu Cheng drove over, had dinner, drank with them, expressed his gratitude and feelings as well as his 'thoughts', then called a designated driver to take the two of them back to their residential area, and then had the designated driver take him home!
Tong Yuan'an and Chen Song weren't particularly happy, but they still expressed some respect for Lu Cheng during the dinner.

Because the Lu Cheng who said those words was still the same Lu Cheng they first met, they would only think Lu Cheng was an idiot.

But the Lu Cheng who said those words is the Lu Cheng of today. Chen Song watched as Lu Cheng's basic skills, at least in suturing, improved from quite excellent to top-notch among his peers.

Three months!
Even if Lu Cheng devoted all his time to practicing suturing, his talent was enough to earn everyone's respect.

Therefore, even though Lu Cheng rejected their temporary kindness, Chen Song and Tong Yuan'an were not angry. Instead, they regarded Lu Cheng as one of their own.

Pride, who hasn't been proud?

……

As Lu Cheng walked from the garage into the elevator lobby, he felt slightly dizzy and his vision was a little blurry.

Lu Cheng didn't hold back today; after drinking a jin (500ml) of liquor, he was already half-drunk.

After unlocking the iron gate of the underground parking garage with his access card, Lu Cheng leaned against the wall, pressed the up button, and then looked at his panel and the corresponding regulations, a smile spreading across his face.

[Suturing (Expert 0/200) (Skill Points -40): With effective guidance and favorable circumstances, the Suturing skill has been upgraded to Expert level. The Suturing skill tree has been passively boosted. Please see the detailed demonstration for the specific boost amount.]

【缝合系专业基础技能：肌腱缝合术（专精16/20）(+2)、神经缝合术（熟练3/10）(+8)、血管缝合术（熟练4/10）(+9)、骨缝合术（熟练2/10）(+7)、膜系缝合术（熟练9/10）（+14）】

【缝合系专科技能：改良kessler缝合术（专精0/20）（+20）、改良tang法缝合术（专精6/20）（+3）、津下缝合术（包括滑动型）（专精2/20）（+12）、血管端端缝合术（熟练2/10）（+7），肌腱未命名缝合技法（专精15/20）（+1）、未命名肌腱缝合术（专精8/20）（+3）、神经外膜-束膜缝合术（入门5/5）（+5）……】

The teaching model in teaching hospitals must be traceable. Lu Cheng only just learned that after basic skills are improved to the expert level, a series of skills can be passively boosted to a leapfrog level.

No wonder that in teaching hospitals, most of the professional master's and doctoral students are practicing basic skills.

In other words, they don't learn any professional skills before they look for a job at the age of thirty; they only focus on the basics.

After starting work, I began to formally study specialized medical techniques. In just five or seven years, I went from an ordinary 'student' to an 'attending physician', 'associate chief physician', and 'associate professor,' and I have made a certain reputation in the province.

Lu Cheng originally thought it was just talent, but in reality, the professors at the teaching hospital had already figured out the best shortcut for them!
Once your internal strength is raised, learning specialized techniques will not only be faster, but you can also save a lot of time through 'passive boosting'.

Of course, Lu Cheng also understood that the reason why this 'model' could not be promoted was that some people might never be able to overcome it in their entire lives.

Lu Cheng was so certain of this because of this sentence in the regulations—

[Suturing (Expert 0/200) (Skill Points -40), with effective guidance and favorable circumstances, the Suturing skill has been upgraded to Expert level]

In other words, if the guidance is ineffective or the opportunity is not right, then you will not be able to get through it?

It's possible to get through it. On the panel, as long as you have enough skill points, you can force your way through anything without needing guidance or luck.

【Hemostasis (Specialization 15/20) (Skill Points -10)】

[Current skill point balance: 4.3!]

These fifty skill points were accumulated by Lu Cheng after he added points to the fracture reduction technique.

Over the course of six days, from September 4th to 56789, I gained an average of 9 skill points per day.

Not a lot, but not a little either!

Lu Cheng added some suturing skills to his training on the 7th, then bought a few hamsters to practice on, and started feeding them after the procedure.

I finally maxed out the Hemostasis skill on the 9th (Specialization 15/20)!
"Insufficient understanding still leads to huge losses! If I had focused more skill points on the basics, I wonder how many skill points I could have saved?" Lu Cheng looked at the skill points he had previously allocated.

However, after Lu Cheng carefully read through the 'Skill Point Consumption and Benefit Regulations', he suddenly understood.

If you don't add some professional skills and only have basic skills like suturing and incision, how many skill points can you possibly accumulate?!
Therefore, even if improving basic skills is a shortcut, the right way is to add some technical skills to actually treat patients and acquire skill points.

It can be analyzed.

Take suturing as an example. Simply suturing can earn you a maximum of 0.4 skill points, and as little as a pitiful 0.2/0.3!

It takes 100 or 200 sewing machines to earn 40 skill points.

But with the addition of specialized procedures, if you work hard enough and minimize your sleep time to the extreme, you can get to 10 pm on average every day... Even if you don't work hard enough, if you work every other day, you can still get to 6-7 pm on average every day.

So, by this calculation, we didn't lose money.

"One downside of getting older is that no matter what you want to do, you have to act like a 'scoundrel' and find a high-sounding reason for yourself..."

"Is this what they call seizing the moral high ground?" Lu Cheng didn't think he was particularly noble or great.

I want to sleep with people, but I can't say it out loud.

Lu Cheng entered the elevator, his back muscles hunched in the tight angle, his eyes vacant, and he muttered to himself, "Hypocrisy, it's something society teaches you, something you use in society..."

"Would there be a better reason to decline the two teachers' kind offer?" Lu Cheng murmured as he reviewed the situation, but still couldn't find a better or more suitable reason.

……

"Ugh~~ Ugh~~~" After returning home, Lu Cheng's throat felt particularly uncomfortable due to the adverse reaction to the food and drink.

It felt like a pair of hot tongs had been inserted into my throat, I couldn't swallow it, and my head was spinning and aching.

Lu Cheng sat in the chair, hugging the trash can, leaning to one side as he dry-heaved.

Of course, the reason he was leaning to one side was to prevent accidental inhalation. Lu Cheng was only a little confused, not completely lost consciousness.

About twenty minutes later, after vomiting twice, Lu Cheng actually felt much better.

Although the phone was still buzzing, Lu Cheng ignored it.

He has already completed the handover with Director Lin Qianlong and asked for leave. Even if there is surgery today, Lu Cheng does not need to go.

If there are no clinical matters, my parents will call me for other important things...

When Lu Cheng woke up from his drunken stupor, he didn't have a headache.

That's the good thing about good wine—it doesn't make you drunk!
When I turned on my phone, it was already 6:37 PM.

Lu Cheng immediately opened his phone and saw a lot of unread messages.

The first message came from Mu Nanshu, containing a question mark, a question about whether Lu Cheng was drunk, and a message from Mu Nanshu saying that Uncle Lu had called her.

It was clearly a message from Mu Nanshu. Lu Cheng didn't answer, so Mu Nanshu called Lu Cheng's father, Lu Nanjia.

Secondly, it came from Lin Qianlong and others.

When asked what Lu Cheng had done at noon, Professor Chen Song said he had called but no one answered, and wondered if one person had taken down both of them...

There's also Peng Kun's message, asking Lu Cheng if he knows where Professor Tong Yuan'an is? They can't get in touch with him.

After reading it, Lu Cheng sat up abruptly, his mind racing, and then went outside...

"Dad, Mom, you're both back?" Lu Cheng saw Lu Nan's house and his mother, Tian Hui.

Tian Hui immediately got up and went to the kitchen: "Hmm, the food is ready. I made you some hangover soup, have a bowl..."

Lu Cheng said, "Dad, Mom, you two eat first. I might have to go out again tonight."

"Are you going out again?" Tian Hui turned around, her voice suddenly rising.

Lu Nanjia winked at Tian Hui: "He can handle his son's affairs himself. What do you know?"

"He's not going out to party and have fun."

Tian Hui went into the kitchen to fetch the soup with a pained expression, muttering to herself, "I don't understand those grand principles."

"There's definitely no flower garden, and the wine-producing area is uncertain; wine isn't a good thing either..."

Where there are people, there are social obligations. Eating and drinking are indeed necessary social interactions, which Tian Hui understands, but she also feels sorry for them.
