Part 2 Episode 135

Champions from Russia (2)

Even though I came all the way to Hanbit University Hospital on my own feet.

After meeting Seon I-jun in person, Sergei was actually half in doubt.

‘Oh my… This person is that person? He looks so young.’

If you haven’t heard of his reputation beforehand.

There was a strong possibility that Sergei was prejudiced against Lee Jun.

He said that she was a pretty little doctor who looked like a girl.

I don’t know whether you know his true feelings or not.

The young Korean attending physician, Seon I-jun, began to explain calmly.

[ When you straighten your elbow and bend your wrist back, does the protruding part on the outside of your elbow hurt? ]

[ Yes, that’s correct. At first, it only hurt when I lifted or pushed things, but now it hurts even when I turn a doorknob or shake hands. ]

[Your symptoms have progressed quite a bit. You must have been prescribed painkillers, physical therapy, and steroid injections at a Russian hospital. You must have received acupuncture treatment at an acupuncture clinic. Right?]

The attending physician’s prediction was accurate.

Sergei nodded obediently.

[ That’s right. But it seemed to get a little better, but then it got worse again. The most effective thing was a steroid injection, but I heard that you shouldn’t keep getting it. ]

[ Yes, you should never abuse it. Steroid injections have a short-term effect, but there is research showing that in the long term, they actually increase the recurrence rate. In addition, if you repeatedly take steroids, your ligaments and tendons can become thinner and eventually rupture. ]

At the mention of a torn ligament, Sergei unconsciously clutched his elbow.

If that happens, retirement is a sure thing.

[ It’s not that the treatment you’ve received so far is wrong. However, the patient has no choice but to use his elbow due to his job. He needs a little more in-depth treatment. ]

[ Advanced treatment? ]

Sergei, curious, leaned toward the doctor without realizing it.

Then the young doctor gave a short laugh and stretched out his hand.

[ No one treated me here? ]

The places he touched were Sergei’s wrist and shoulder.

“What?”

A bewildered Sergei asked back in a voice.

I was admitted to the hospital because of elbow pain, but out of the blue it’s my wrist and shoulder?

‘I wonder if this doctor has misunderstood my situation.’

But the doctor had a confident look in his eyes.

And then, before Sergei could even ask why, he quickly began to explain.

[ It is often easy to treat only the elbow of a tennis elbow patient. In fact, when you do that, most patients see results. However, if it has progressed to a chronic and serious stage like yours, the treatment method must also change. ]

Seon I-jun bends and straightens his elbow.

[The elbow is the middle joint between the wrist and the shoulder. They can’t not affect each other, right? That’s why if there’s a problem with the elbow, all three need to be treated.]

[ Are they related? ]

[ For example, if you often do things that involve internal rotation of your arms, stretching your wrists to external rotation** will reduce elbow pain. ]

(*Internal rotation: Internal rotation. The front part of the arm or leg turns inward.)

(**External rotation: External rotation. The front part of the arm or leg turns toward the outside.)

Ohh… .

Although I didn’t completely understand it, it was an explanation that made sense.

To Sergei, who nodded, the doctor then spoke, poking his elbow.

[ And the elbow itself needs a little more special treatment . ]

[ What is that? ]

After hearing the doctor’s detailed explanation, my anxiety and doubts disappeared without a trace.

Sergei’s heart began to flutter with hope.

As expected from a country famous for Oriental medicine, is there something special that can only be found on the mainland?

[ It would be quicker if I showed you directly. Could you give me your elbow? ]

Then the doctor takes something out of the medical cart.

Sergei, full of curiosity, obediently put out his elbow.

The doctor rips open a bag of needles and puts out a needle.

Up to this point, I was quite familiar with it.

however.

The next moment, the doctor took out a torch and burned the middle part of the needle.

“WOAH, WAIT!”

Forgetting that he was in front of his daughter, Sergei ended up screaming.

But the doctor just calmly calms him down.

“Don’t worry. It won’t hurt much.”

When he was told to tell him if it stung, Sergei focused all his attention on his elbow.

The silver stainless steel needle glows orange when exposed to flame.

“Stop.”

After a while, Sergei opened his mouth as soon as he felt a tingling sensation in his elbow.

Then the doctor immediately puts the torch away.

[ Have you been in a lot of pain? ]

[ No. I was a little scared at first, but it’s not that hot. It’s actually cool. But Doctor, what effect does this have? ]

[ This is called fire needling. It is a treatment method where a needle is inserted into the damaged ligament area and heat is applied to the needle to transfer heat into the body. ]

[ Wow. A needle? That’s an incredible name. ]

[ It has the effect of inducing recovery through micro-burn damage. According to research results, pain tolerance improved by 75% and subjective pain was reduced by 40% after acupuncture treatment. ]

Almost half the pain?

Sergei, who was about to laugh out loud, suddenly frowned.

‘But how long do I need to receive this treatment?’

No matter how good a treatment is, it is difficult if it takes months of treatment to be effective.

The UFC match that the media is calling the fight of the century is only a little over a month away.

[ Doctor, I can’t stay here that long. ]

The attending physician smiled at Sergei, who had become gloomy.

[ I know. You have only about a month left until the important game, right? That’s why you’re trying acupuncture. The advantage of this treatment is that it works quickly. The research results I mentioned earlier also showed that it only took two treatments over a week. ]

[ Within a week? Is that true? ]

Sergei jumped.

That would be the case.

Ligaments and tendons, which do not have a blood vessel network, recover more slowly than muscles.

Typically, a Grade 2 sprain to a ligament takes 8 to 10 weeks to heal.

So, I can’t help but be amazed when I hear that you can see noticeable results in just one week.

[ Doctor, I ask for your help in the future! ]

Sergei keeps shaking his head.

A small figure appeared between the two men, wiggling.

“Oh, Milana!”

Milana, the young daughter who grew up early, waited quietly without interrupting the adults’ conversation.

It seemed like the conversation was going well, so he just slyly interjected himself.

“Doctor, here.”

Then Milana holds out her hand, clutching something, to the attending physician.

What appeared when the girl opened her small fist.

There were a few of her favorite candies.

“…Thank you, Milana.”

The attending physician, who had been paused for a moment, patted Milana’s head and answered in Korean.

“!”

Then, Milana, of course, and Sergei also flinched.

It was because of the caring smile of my doctor that suddenly came to mind.

It was something I never expected from him, who seemed so cold.

In front of the rehabilitation and medical computer.

I turned off the EMR, satisfied with the chart of my foreign patient, Sergei Ivanov.

According to the golden letters, he will get better from now on.

‘As expected, no one in Russia treated my wrist or shoulder.’

In fact, we cannot criticize the previous doctors indiscriminately.

This is an advanced course that I learned from Professor Yeon Jae-wook, a veteran in the field of rehabilitation medicine.

‘And… I guess no acupuncturist has ever tried to heal a wound until now.’

The Chinese bedding workers I saw in the hallucinations.

The painful area was acupunctured with a regular acupuncture needle (a very fine needle).

I’m guessing the size of the needle by eye, but is it around 25*30 (diameter 0.25cm, length 3cm) or 30*30 (diameter 0.30cm, length 3cm)?

‘It was a routine treatment, but it wasn’t enough for this patient.’

I clicked my tongue slightly.

In this case, a fire acupuncture needle should have been used, which is excellent for ligament damage.

Why doesn’t squid shrink up when grilled?

It’s the same with that.

As heat penetrates deep into the body, the expression of collagen mRNA and protein in damaged ligament tissue increases, and collagen fibers become stronger.

‘So, for spinal diseases, joint sprains, chronic ligament diseases, and arthritis, it is worth trying acupuncture.’

At this time, the needle used must be thick and have a diameter of at least 0.40 mm.

Also, from what I’ve tried on myself, the tip of the needle doesn’t feel like it needs to be heated.

‘Saliva surprisingly has low thermal conductivity.’

So it is best to heat the area 1cm above the skin.

However, if you heat it too greedily for too long, you may get burned, so the caster’s delicate technique is required.

anyway.

‘If there are no special events, the patient will recover well and be discharged within the schedule.’

I sank into the back of my computer chair lazily.

There is no easy way to make money.

The grievances of medical professionals should not be taken lightly either.

All day long, you have to listen to the complaints of the sick, empathize with them, and suggest solutions to them.

And you have to take responsibility for the consequences.

‘but….’

When a sick person receives my treatment and gets better and returns to their daily life.

When you say thank you with a happy smile.

Every time that happens, the sense of accomplishment I feel as a doctor of Oriental medicine is immense.

Money aside, these moments are what keep me from leaving the medical field.

‘Tennis elbow may not be a life-threatening condition, but it is.’

It’s a disease that’s enough to ruin someone’s daily life, especially an athlete’s career.

In the previous vision, I vividly saw the patient in pain.

He really loved his job.

He was so distressed that he couldn’t sleep at night because his body wasn’t what it used to be.

Besides, Milana seemed to know why her father was suffering.

It was very heartbreaking to see the little girl trying to gauge her father’s mood.

‘I hope the patient gets treated and recovers well so he can defend his champion title.’

So that little Milana and her father’s worries will go away.

(It was still in the future, but) I was enjoying the afterglow of successful treatment.

The screen of the cell phone placed next to the mouse blinks.

[ hi ]

[ Did you receive my reply? ]

[ Do you like it? ]

And then immediately, jiing- the phone vibrates for a long time.

‘This kid…!’

Crack.

My molars clenched as I typed the three letters of the sender’s name.

This is the perfect time to ruin your mood.

I slowly felt my head heat up and got ready to answer the phone.
