Chapter 0008: Cervical Vertebrae Reduction (Part II)
Fang Han hesitated somewhat; this was a rare opportunity. To speak of the bone-setting and reduction techniques, he had indeed had some exposure. However, the patient's condition this time was particularly complex, and the area to be reduced was very sensitive. A single misstep could lead to other complications, which would be counterproductive.
Especially for these relatively niche branch skills, Fang Han generally would not exchange for them. For instance, the Eight Methods of Muscle Regulation or cervical spine repositioning. If he had points, the first skills he would definitely exchange for would be commonly used skills, such as diagnosis, differentiation, and herbal formula compatibility.
Upon turning around, Ren Haiqiang saw many interns behind him and asked with a smile, "Has anyone noticed anything?"
My family runs a medical clinic, and I learned medicine from my grandfather since I was young, later attending a traditional Chinese medicine college. Fang Han said this not because he was afraid that the system's matters could not be explained; the world is vast and full of wonders, and there are many geniuses. Does every genius have a system? Perhaps some do, but if they don't mention it, who would know?

Before Dr. Chen could speak, Ren Haiqiang had already snatched the film from Dr. Chen's hands and held it up to examine it.
Taking orthopedics as an example, there are many manual adjustment techniques, and cervical spine reduction is just one of them. However, even if it is only one technique, practicing and honing it on one's own will undoubtedly take several years to reach an advanced level
Ren Haiqiang, after all, comes from a medical background. Although he has not practiced his skills in recent years, he still has no problem interpreting the images. He easily identified the atlantoaxial joint that Fang Han mentioned, noting the presence of two asymmetrical gaps between the patient's first and second cervical vertebrae
This is an open-mouth radiograph, with the patient opening their mouth and the image taken from the front. It is likely that Dr. Chen had long identified the location of the patient's lesion, and to confirm this, specifically requested the patient to take this radiograph with their mouth open
One must not underestimate Dr. Chen, the associate chief physician. The value of the same title varies in different places. Jiangzhong Hospital is filled with talent, which is not something an ordinary hospital can compare to. The attending physicians at Jiangzhong Hospital, when placed externally, are not inferior to some associate chief physicians or chief physicians. If the associate chief physicians at Jiangzhong Hospital truly wish to change jobs, other hospitals could even offer them the position of deputy hospital director.
Why is that the case? The patient's lesion is located between the first and second cervical vertebrae, at the very top of the cervical spine. In such a location, even a normal lateral X-ray may not capture it. However, this particular image clearly shows the patient's lesion
Generally, doctors do not make such requests for imaging; this particular request is precisely because Dr. Chen had prior suspicions. This image is merely to confirm his conjecture
At this moment, Fang Han has intermittently obtained over 70 worship points. Just now, he made a bold move and exchanged for a temporary advanced diagnosis. To be honest, it is quite good.
Worship points + 20
Do you have the courage to give it a try
The ultimate goal of the National Medicine Cultivation System is to cultivate true masters of traditional Chinese medicine, thus permanent skills are the key, while temporary skills are merely used for emergencies or to conveniently obtain worship points
I can give it a try, but I am afraid the patient may not trust me
Fang Yuancheng
Traditional Chinese medicine is not inflexible; only by keeping pace with the times can it avoid being eliminated
Take CT imaging as an example; it is indispensable in orthopedics. Although traditional Chinese medicine practitioners rely on their tactile skills and experience for bone manipulation, having imaging as a reference can significantly reduce errors. Machines can malfunction, and humans can also make mistakes.
This advanced skill has already surpassed the level of a chief physician, being slightly higher than that of a chief physician, yet somewhat inferior to that of an ordinary specialist master. It should be at the level of some renowned masters in the medical field. Based on this reasoning, master-level skills should already be at the national master level, or even more formidable than some of the current national masters.
"It's fine, I will oversee it, nothing will go wrong," Dr. Chen said with a smile. Fang Han is an intern and cannot treat patients independently. According to regulations, Dr. Chen is required to supervise and guide him. If Fang Han's technique is incorrect, he can interrupt at any time.
"Is it really a global joint?" Ren Haiqiang put down the film, somewhat incredulous. Fang Han had come with him, so it was impossible for him to have prior knowledge of the patient's condition. Could it be that all of this was observed by this kid just now?
It is important to understand that even among masters of traditional Chinese medicine, there are those who excel in certain areas while lacking in others. For instance, Mr. Zheng Xueping specializes in bone setting, while Guo Wenyuan is proficient in herbal formulas. With systematic support, he could truly become a versatile expert in the future, capable of mastering acupuncture, herbal formulas, as well as bone setting and tui na massage, thus becoming a national authority in these fields
Everyone felt a bit awkward, as it seemed there was no difference at all, and generally, traditional Chinese medicine colleges do not teach students to watch films; this is all part of Western clinical practice, isn't it
Who has a grandfather that runs a clinic?
Moreover, the reason why Fang Han was able to speak so detailed and accurately at that time was also related to his targeted exchange skills. The temporary intermediate case analysis was specifically aimed at certain cases, unraveling them layer by layer.
"I have learned a bit." Fang Han checked the system, feeling somewhat guilty. He had just squandered all his admiration points, and now he had not even 100 left, making it impossible to exchange for intermediate skills.
Worship point + 97
Have you learned any techniques
Fang Han began to speak: "Under normal circumstances, there should be equal-sized gaps between the first and second cervical vertebrae. However, in this X-ray, there is a gap between the cervical vertebrae on one side, while the other side is merely in contact with each other. Upon closer inspection, signs of horizontal rotation can be observed, indicating that dislocation has occurred at the joint..."
"Then Xiao Fang, why don't you give it a try?" Ren Haiqiang said with a smile beside him. To be honest, he was genuinely curious if Fang Han really had such skills. Could it be that this young man has a talent for bone-setting and massage? Yesterday after work, he met Dr. Ma from the massage department, who expressed a desire to transfer Fang Han to acupuncture and massage. Now, it seems that the orthopedics department is also eager to recruit him?
Upon hearing this, Dr. Chen nearly laughed; Fang Han's words were quite insightful. He expressed concern about the patients' trust, rather than his own capabilities, which is a strong indication of confidence.
Permanent skills, not to mention advanced ones, even the basic ones are invaluable to the other party. The system has divided the national medical skills into many small categories, each of which requires a considerable amount of points.
"Xiao Fang," Dr. Chen said kindly, "Have you had any previous experience with Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
"Is he really an intern?" Dr. Chen exclaimed in disbelief. It can't be, just a little while ago, the resident had already informed him of the situation, and to draw such an accurate conclusion based solely on observation is quite impressive. He is only slightly less capable than him... He is about to become an associate chief physician.
After the shock, Fang Han was filled with a surge of ecstasy; a permanent advanced skill! This would require over a million exchange points to redeem.
Old Guo also intended to take Fang Han as his disciple, as Old Guo specializes in prescriptions, and this young man has considerable expertise in this area as well. Goodness, when did a mere intern who just entered become so sought after
However, the system has now granted him these skills, which he would not easily exchange, as rewards. Is this intended to cultivate him into a versatile master of traditional Chinese medicine
Although Jiangzhong Hospital is a very authentic traditional Chinese medicine hospital, it still possesses some commonly used equipment, such as blood tests, CT machines, and electrocardiograms. These devices provide significant assistance to traditional Chinese medicine doctors in making diagnoses
Ren Haiqiang nodded. Given Fang Han's previous performance, he was no longer surprised. Compared to Fang Han's earlier ability to discern the cause of the illness and identify the issues in the images, this was truly child's play.
Worship point + 11
Since acquiring the system, in order to ensure absolute certainty, Fang Han has not yet experienced the temporary primary skills. However, he has already formed a general judgment regarding the differences between intermediate skills and advanced skills
The standard of intermediate skills should be equivalent to that of an associate chief physician. For instance, yesterday he assessed Guo Wenyuan's condition and analyzed the medical cases presided over by Guo Wenyuan. As long as it is the legitimate level of an associate chief physician, it is possible to achieve the performance exhibited by Fang Han at that time
Fang Han also stood beside Ren Haiqiang, observing the patient and was able to identify the location of the lesions, clearly understanding the situation depicted in the images. He couldn't help but glance at Dr. Chen, who was quite skilled.
Fang Han subconsciously glanced at Ren Haiqiang. There were 36 interns present, plus one resident physician, so it was impossible for there to be that many. Director Ren has a contribution capacity of 50 points... ? ... But Director Ren, why do you always envy and admire me, an intern? Is it because I am more handsome than him?
Fang Han stood behind Ren Haiqiang, while the other interns crowded behind, looking up.
Temporary skills are considered consumables, so in order to accumulate worship points, one must exchange them for permanent basic skills. With permanent basic skills, one can already be regarded as outstanding in the capacity of a Fang Han intern. Thus, the expenditure on temporary skills will accumulate, facilitating the exchange for permanent skills, which constitutes a virtuous cycle
No wonder! Ren Haiqiang and a group of interns all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. In this case, it is understandable that Fang Han is slightly more outstanding than everyone else, after all, they have only been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine for four to five years, haven't they
The patient is photographed from the front with their mouth open, allowing for the exposure of the lesion located in the teeth and mandible. Otherwise, the teeth and mandible would completely obstruct the area of the lesion. Without proper preparation for assessment, one would never make such a well-founded request.
Fang Han looked up in confusion, did I say something? Why is there such a large wave of admiration coming my way
Dr. Chen frowned, having never heard of such a national master in the field of apricot forest. However, Dr. Chen did not delve deeper, as the vast land of China is rich and abundant, with many talented individuals. Perhaps this person is a hidden expert among the populace
Similarly, primary skills should be able to reach the level of a chief physician; even if they do not match, the difference should not be significant
The interns around are going almost crazy, is this really easy to grasp? Wasn't it said that this is relatively complex? How can something complex still be manageable for the interns?
Oh, the intern assigned this time is named Fang Han
Fang Han was contemplating when Dr. Chen could no longer hold back and asked Ren Haiqiang: "Director Ren, who is this young man?"
Ding ... ... The host experiences a temporary advanced skill for the first time, randomly rewarded with a permanent advanced skill (Cervical Vertebra Reset) ... ...
Suddenly, the system prompt in Fang Han's mind startled him. Wasn't this delay too long? Hadn't he exchanged this advanced skill for over ten minutes?
"Who is your grandfather?" Dr. Chen asked tentatively, as he felt that with Fang Han's remarkable abilities, his grandfather must also be an extraordinary person, perhaps even a national champion.
