Anthony didn’t respond to virtual-novel.net request.
Seeing virtual-novel.net lacking confidence in himself, Arielle said, “No? Then live with the pain.”
“Okay! Okay, I promise you!”
Seeing virtual-novel.net finally relenting, virtual-novel.net nodded virtual-novel.net head with a smile.
“Students, this is my first day as your lecturer. So I’ll be teaching you the most essential skill in orthopedics, repositioning. Of course, this is the most basic skill that I’m sure many of you already know.”
She pointed at Anthony’s arm and gestured for the short guy to continue.
“Isn’t that right, Miller? You’ll do the repositioning, and I’ll guide you through it.”
Hearing that Arielle was still asking Miller to help him, Anthony was pissed. “Ms. Moore, didn’t you say you’ll spare me from the pain once I promised you? I don’t want virtual-novel.net to reposition my arm back.”
“You’re right. I did say that, but I only promised to spare you from the pain, not changing the person helping you. If you trust your friend and me, then let virtual-novel.net help you. I’ll teach virtual-novel.net a special method to reposition your arm back.”
Anthony was hesitant. He wasn’t sure whether virtual-novel.net should trust Arielle. But since she’s qualified enough to be a medical school lecturer, virtual-novel.net must have virtual-novel.net strengths.
Even though she’s young, virtual-novel.net means are very much different from the other lecturers. I guess I can trust her…
After mulling over it briefly, Anthony finally agreed.
“Okay, please do it gently.”
“Don’t worry!” Arielle huffed.
She turned to Miller. “Follow my instructions later. If you follow it, then your friend won’t feel the pain. However, if you insist on doing it your way, he’ll continue to be in pain.”
Arielle had disciplined both students enough that they would obey virtual-novel.net words instantly without refuting.
“I’ll follow your every word, Ms. Moore. Let’s start…”
Arielle resumed virtual-novel.net lesson. “First, we don’t need to tug the affected arm harshly to reposition it back. Pulling it straight will only cause severe damage.
“Grab the patient’s elbow with one hand. Make sure to do it gently, don’t use too much strength. Otherwise, it’ll cause pain for the patient.”
Following Arielle’s instructions, Miller started to reposition Anthony’s arm.
Arielle continued to explain, “Bend the affected arm at ninety degrees to the elbow. Slowly and gently rotate the arm a couple of times as your thumb presses it lightly. Try to distract your patient’s attention from his arm.”
The last instruction was difficult for Miller.
My hands are busy with repositioning, yet at the same time, I have to distract Anthony’s attention. How am I supposed to do both at once?
Arielle looked over virtual-novel.net shoulder, glancing at the door. “Morrison, when did you arrive?”
Morrison?
Her calling Morrison’s name caught all the students’ attention. All of them turned toward the door, including Anthony.
At that moment, Arielle poked at Miller, then tipped virtual-novel.net chin at Anthony. Miller braced himself and pushed the arm upward, causing a loud pop. Anthony’s arm was back in his shoulder.
By then, the students finally realized Morrison wasn’t there, and it was Arielle’s distraction.
I didn’t expect to feel fine so quickly.
Anthony gently moved his arm and noticed virtual-novel.net was able to move it with ease like before, with no pain.
“That’s weird. When did you push it back? How come I didn’t feel anything?”
Arielle chuckled. “Of course, you didn’t feel anything since you were distracted. When you snapped back, Miller was already done with your arm. The main point of repositioning is using the correct method gently and learning to distract the patient’s attention. That way is the least painful for the patient. In conclusion, you need to be fast, accurate, and steady to easily and successfully reposition a dislocated joint.”
