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.

He swiped the screen and saw a WeChat message.

"Dr. Li, is our previous agreement still valid?"

The short message was from Luo Binggang.

Luo was a top cardiovascular expert from a major hospital in Beijing. He had come to Jiangli City last time to participate in a medical skills competition.

At his level, rankings barely mattered to him; he was more interested in learning practical skills through exchange to broaden his horizons and thinking.

Last time, he witnessed Li Jingsheng’s massage technique, which helped him successfully complete a highly difficult interventional surgery. They agreed to research this topic along with Wang Weiwei from the People’s Hospital.

More than two months had passed, and now it seemed everything was properly arranged.

"A man’s word is his bond, of course it counts. But I can’t go to Beijing, can you come to Jiangli City?"

Li Jingsheng was now an assistant lecturer.

The bone setting technique project was looking for opportunities to gain a foothold in the academy.

Currently, the four medical students he was carefully nurturing were an experiment.

Jiangli City Medical University was very supportive.

With backing from the old professor, his role as an assistant lecturer was stable.

The bone setting technique could only be taught in research format. To make it a full-fledged discipline would take a long time.

He thought that when Doctor Xu recovered, having Doctor Xu also join the Medical University as a teacher, the two of them working together might make it grow more easily.

"Haha, I’m already here. Taking tonight’s train, I should arrive tomorrow. I’ve already made arrangements with Old Wang. I’m just afraid you, the key player, might back out and waste my trip."

The Old Wang he mentioned referred to Wang Weiwei from the People’s Hospital.

They were on the same level, so interacting should be easier.

Li Jingsheng was not in the same league as these two cardiovascular giants, but with his unique skills, he secured an opportunity for equal dialogue and collaboration with them.

"Really?! That’s great! I’ve been looking forward to collaborating with you and Professor Wang. The hospital keeps pushing me to get some papers published, but I’ve got no material. I can’t squeeze anything out." Li Jingsheng was thrilled about Luo Binggang’s arrival. "Why not take a flight? Isn’t that faster?"

"I’m timid, afraid something might happen. I have a big family depending on me; I can’t afford to collapse now."

Luo Binggang was straightforward.

Getting to his current height, he indeed had the ability to support many family members.

Just like when Vice Dean Jin became the director of the Second Hospital, he had the opportunity to send Jin Yanyu to study bone setting under Li Jingsheng.

He could also offer some conveniences in matters like children’s schooling and employment.

For example, a certain primary school has top-notch teaching standards, and everyone praises it. But when admission slots are limited, ordinary children might not get in.

So, what can be done?

If Vice Dean Jin happens to know a principal or vice principal at the school, a word from them might secure an open slot for his grandchild.

Once his grandchild enters a good school and is willing to work hard, his starting point is already higher than ordinary children.

As for future employment, there’s even less to worry about.

If Vice Dean Jin gives a helping hand, entering various industries is easier and starts on a higher level than most.
