The Sports Healer Starting from Milan

Chapter 17 Elena

I waited for a while.

Lin Mu went to the inpatient ward to meet with the patients.

The patient is a girl named Elena Sanelli, who just turned fifteen yesterday and is a ballet dancer.

"Lie down first so I can check you out," Lin Mu said, and the girl obediently lay down.

Lin Mu held her calf and performed the drawer test, the Lachman test, and the axis shift test in succession.

Finally, when you bend your knees to 30 degrees...

Elena gasped.

"Is it stuck?" Lin Mu glanced sideways.

Elena nodded obediently.

Lin Mu gently flicked the outside of Elena's knee with his finger, making a click, and Elena's expression immediately relaxed.

"alright."

Elena moved her knees.

Lin Mu smiled gently: "Yes, I chased the mouse away. It won't come back after the surgery tomorrow."

Done.

He started adding points.

[Knee joint loose body removal surgery: Lv3 (27/50)]

Spend 23 experience points to upgrade the technique to level four, which is the expert level.

[Knee joint loose body removal surgery: Lv4 (0/100)]

moment.

The trees felt the baptism of knowledge.

At level three, he knew how to perform a loose body removal procedure, including the incision location, arthroscopic approach, exploration sequence, and removal techniques.

Simple free-body exercises can be completed in five minutes.

However, if you encounter one hidden behind the popliteal hamstring hiatus, it might take twenty minutes to find it.

What now?

Lin Mu believed he could complete the operation with the smallest incision, the shortest time, and the fewest number of times the instruments had to be inserted and removed.

So what exactly is Lv5?

Lin Mu thinks that a master-level knee joint loose body removal surgery might just be turning surgery into an art form.

However, the experience points required for a level 1 spell are few...

Lin Mu looked down at Elena, the little girl hesitated, her face filled with fear.

"Is there anything you want to ask, Elena?"

Lin Mu laughed.

"Uncle, after the surgery, can I still dance? Can I participate in next month's competition?"

Elena glanced cautiously at the person next to her as she spoke.

The middle-aged woman, dressed in jewels, was probably Elena's mother; she was also carrying a pair of ballet shoes.

"Yes, yes, Dr. Wood, your skill level is so high, and this is just a minor surgery. I heard that patients can usually get out of bed the next day and be discharged on the third day, is that right?"

"Elena can't miss the Milan Ballet auditions next month."

"Dr. Wood—"

The middle-aged woman's mouth was like a machine gun.

But before she could finish speaking, Lin Mu raised his head and looked directly at her. "I'm sorry, that's impossible. From a medical perspective, the surgery to remove loose bodies from the knee joint is usually an arthroscopic minimally invasive procedure, which sounds like it has less impact on the patient."

"Patients can be discharged within a week, but the cartilage, joint capsule, and ligaments need more time to heal, and they will definitely not reach the standard for normal ballet performance."

Lin Mu's tone was very serious.

"If she forces herself to participate, her joints will be damaged again, new loose bodies will form, and even her meniscus and ligaments will tear, so she will never be able to dance ballet again."

Lin Mu has limited knowledge of ballet.

But judging from those exaggerated movements, such as spinning, jumping, and standing on tiptoe, they must place very high demands on the knees.

How could someone participate just half a month after surgery?

Elena's mother stood there, stunned, until Lin Mu left the house, then she caught up with him.

"Dr. Wood, can we postpone the surgery? Next month's selection is really important for her. Her teacher also said that Elena has a good chance of passing the selection. If she can't participate, then all her years of hard work will have been in vain!"

She gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice.

Lin Mu stared coldly at the other person. Before he transmigrated, he had seen many parents like this.

But something unexpected happened.

Elena's mother covered her face, tears streaming through her fingers. "My daughter saw a ballet performance for the first time at La Scala when she was three years old."

"Later, when we were watching TV, she pointed at the screen and told me that she wanted to wear that dress in the future... Later, she started a preparatory class at the age of four, entered a pre-university class at the age of six, and won her first award at the age of eight."

Elena's mother suppressed her sobs.

"When she was ten years old, she told me on Christmas...Mom, I want to go to La Scala to dance someday."

"I don't necessarily want her to pass the selection, I'm just afraid she'll blame me later for not letting her try."

Elena's mother wiped her eyes. "I'm sorry, Dr. Wood, I lost my composure."

Lin Mu sighed.

Indeed, even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes, let alone someone who is merely a doctor.

Lin Mu pulled out the films from the bag. "Elena's knee condition is already quite serious. She must have felt the pain before, but she didn't tell you."

"So I think she was very scared, scared of letting you down."

"Objectively speaking, even if the surgery is postponed, it would be difficult for her to persevere on the selection stage, because the pain would cause her to make many mistakes."

"This can also worsen the condition."

"So, no matter how important this selection is, my advice is to give up participating. She's only fifteen years old, and she has a long future ahead of her. Don't let this selection make her regret it for the rest of her life."

Lin Mu lowered his eyes and said.

The corridor was quiet for a moment. Elena's mother took several deep breaths, then suddenly bent over. "I'll explain to the teacher tomorrow and we can talk about it next year. Thank you, Dr. Wood. I'll have to trouble you with the surgery."

"This is my duty."

Lin Mu nodded.

He glanced back before getting on the elevator. Elena's mother put down her ballet shoes, wiped her eyes, and walked into the ward.

"Wood, I feel like you've changed a lot, but it also seems like you haven't changed much."

Christian Victor, who was standing next to him, touched his bald patch.

In Italy.

Doctors rarely talk that much to their patients.

Consultation, examination, surgery...

Once the process is complete, move on to the next one.

But Lin Mu had been talking to Elena's mother outside the ward for almost ten minutes.

It's not all about medical issues.

"People always change," Lin Mu smiled.

He still remembered the Hippocratic Oath he recited when he enrolled, though he had forgotten the specifics.

But he still remembers.

We should be grateful to those who impart knowledge.

We should strive to benefit those we serve and do what we can to help them.

Do not use your professional position to do unethical or illegal things.

Keep the patient's secret.

Ding-dong.

The elevator doors opened.

"Besides, everyone has different ideas, and I feel quite comfortable this way."

Lin Mu went outside to study Elena's case again, hoping to perform the surgery flawlessly tomorrow.

come back to the office.

Another email from the sports weekly he subscribed to.

"On September 17, Liu Xiang won the Shanghai Grand Prix with a time of 13.05 seconds. Today, at the IAAF Yokohama All-Star Game in Yokohama, he won the men's 110-meter hurdles with a time of 13.08 seconds."

"At the 2005 IAAF Golden League Shanghai meet, Yelena Isinbayeva won the women's pole vault title with a jump of 4.65 meters, but failed to break her own world record with three attempts to reach 5.02 meters."
