Chapter 1389 Lightly

Anthony didn’t respond to her request.

Seeing him lacking confidence in himself, Arielle said, “No? Then live with the pain.”

“Okay! Okay, I promise you.”

Seeing him finally relenting, she nodded her 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 him 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 him help you. I’ll teach him a special method to

reposition your arm back.”

Anthony was hesitant. He wasn’t sure whether he should trust Arielle.

But since she’s qualified enough to be a medical school lecturer, she must have her strengths.

Even though she’s young, her 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 her words instantly without refuting.

“I’ll follow your every word, Ms. Moore. Let’s start.”

Arielle resumed her 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 her 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 her 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 he 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.”
