"But..." Ji Suk Ye wanted to protest.

"Right now!!!" Doctor Lai shouted angrily to Ji Suk Ye.

Ji Suk Ye became scared. She immediately went to follow Doctor Lai's order.

"Humph!!! Does she think it is a runway or what?" Doctor Lai still mumbled about Ji Suk Ye.

"So, what do you understand about orthopaedic?" Doctor Lai wanted to know what level of understanding that these three first year residents had about orthopaedic.

"Orthopedics is a medical speciality that focuses on the diagnosis, correction, prevention, and treatment of patients with skeletal deformities - disorders of the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves and skin. These elements make up the musculoskeletal system." Ah Kean answered with full detail.

"So, what is the common surgery for orthopaedics?" Doctor Lai looked at Min Gu Su expecting Min Gu Su to answer this question.

"There is a lot of common surgery for orthopaedics. Some of them are arthroscopy which used to treat problems occurring inside the joint using an arthroscope. Bone fracture repair... It needs to be performed when broken pieces of bone are repositioned using metal plates, screws or pins.

Soft tissue repair, for torn ligaments and tendons.Joint replacement, in which a damaged joint is replaced with a prosthesis. Spine fusion, during which the spinal bones (vertebrae) are joined together..." Min Gu Su wanted to explain more but stopped by Doctor Lai.

Lastly, Doctor Lai's eyes laid on Yu Qi. "Tell me what is the difference between orthopaedic surgeons and orthopaedic specialists?"

"As Doctor Ah explained before orthopaedic surgeons are doctors who specialize in the musculoskeletal system - the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. All of the orthopaedic surgeons are orthopaedic specialists.

However, not all orthopaedic specialists are orthopaedic surgeons. It is because the orthopaedic specialist is qualified to assess, diagnose, and treat your orthopaedic ailment using non-invasive treatments." Yu Qi answered.

Doctor Lai nodded. The three of them had done their homework. However, when he was thinking about another one, his anger was boiling.

Speaking of the witch, Ji Suk Ye returned with normal attire. This time, Doctor Lai did not have any comment on her outfit.

"What do you understand about orthopaedic?" Doctor Lai looked at Ji Suk Ye.

"Eh, you are asking me?" Ji Suk Ye pointed her finger to her face.

"Yes. Answer me." Doctor Lai said.

"Why do I need to answer that? You can ask them first." Ji Suk Ye wanted to avoid.

"I have already asked them. Just answer my question." Doctor Lai said in a harsh tone.

"Erkk... Hmmm... Orthopaedic is a doctor... who treats people's bones, I guess..." Ji Suk Ye was not confident about her answer.

"You should study more." Doctor Lai threw a dirty look at Ji Suk Ye. He wondered how she managed to be a doctor with that attitude.

"Like the rule in the previous department, this will be the same. The difference is the patients. I will assign some of the patients under your care. If you are not sure about something, please ask other doctors about that. They will assist you. Understand?" Doctor Lai asked.

"Yes, Doctor Lai." The four of them answered.

"Good." Doctor Lai went ahead assigning the patients under the first year residents.
