Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 148 - 116: Unique Technique Always Wins

The boss went to the Second Hospital for advanced training, studying manual bone setting and repositioning with Doctor Xu. How long has it been?

What can you learn in such a short time?

No matter how great the teacher is, it takes time to produce outstanding students!

"How about we take an X-ray first?"

The elderly woman, who had been silent, finally spoke up and took charge.

"The X-ray costs 100 yuan. Would you mind paying that first?"

When it comes to money matters, as long as Tang Ping is present, she never lets Li Jingsheng lower himself.

She mostly handles communication with families or patients.

"Sure."

The elderly woman took out her smartphone.

"Can I scan a QR code?"

"The payment code is just outside. This way, please."

After guiding the elderly woman to make the payment, Li Jingsheng took the child to the imaging room for an X-ray.

After the X-ray examination, the results matched his findings from the bone touching skill.

The dislocation of the boy’s right shoulder joint was quite severe. For a general orthopedic doctor, even if they know some bone-setting techniques, manually repositioning it without damaging the boy’s joint capsule is quite challenging.

Considering the risk of tearing the joint capsule, an average doctor would probably not dare to attempt it.

Li Jingsheng, thanks to his mastery of bone touching skill, could mentally form a precise bone map comparable to surgical repositioning, and combined with his Master Level ordinary osteopathic skills, he was confident in successfully using manual repositioning on this child.

For the fee, he planned to charge 200 yuan per person for shoulder joint repositioning.

This amount isn’t fixed; it’s based on difficulty and risk.

The X-ray costs 100 yuan, so the patient would spend a total of 300 yuan to be cured.

As for the sling provided after a successful repositioning, Li Jingsheng considered it a gift.

"Here are the X-ray results: the dislocation of the right shoulder joint is severe, but we can attempt manual repositioning. If it’s unsuccessful, we’ll consider surgical treatment." Li Jingsheng explained the basic situation to the family.

He definitely couldn’t guarantee a full success.

What if the manual repositioning fails?

"What’s the success rate of the manual repositioning? If it fails, will it harm my grandson’s arm?"

The boy’s grandmother quickly followed up with questions.

The family clearly had significant doubts about the medical skills of this small clinic.

"The success rate is above 80%. As for whether failure could harm your grandson, I can only say that every clinical procedure carries risks. If during the repositioning, I feel uncertain or that it might damage the child’s bones, I will stop immediately."

Li Jingsheng’s bone touching skill is at a Master Level.

He can fully anticipate potential issues with the bone structure, position, and possible damages during repositioning.

"I’ll discuss it with my husband and give you an answer later!"

The elderly woman pulled her husband aside to discuss.

She was heard whispering, "This is just a small clinic, open for less than a year. The doctor is so young; maybe we should go to the community health service center instead!"

"Didn’t the newspaper say this clinic has excellent medical skills and ethics? Since all the checks are done, why not let him try first?"

The husband had a different perspective.

"What if he damages our grandson’s bones? Then what do we do? If nothing else, we can still head to the Second Hospital." The elderly woman had her concerns.

"Alright, we’ll go with your call."

The husband was eventually persuaded.

In most harmonious families, small matters are decided by the wife, major ones by the husband.

"Doctor, sorry for the trouble, but we’re a bit worried about the safety of manual repositioning, so we’ll head to the hospital for another opinion."

The husband said to Li Jingsheng with an apologetic smile.

"That’s fine. If the hospital suggests surgical treatment, you can still come back and let me attempt manual repositioning first. Not only is the treatment fee very low, but the child would also suffer less, recover much faster, and it basically wouldn’t affect school."

Patients are free to choose where and how to receive treatment.

All he can do is inform them of the pros and cons.

Watching this hard-earned patient with a shoulder joint dislocation leave just like that, he felt it was a pity.

Tang Ping was about to persuade the family but was stopped by Li Jingsheng’s glance.

"Dr. Gao, the community health service center probably can’t perform manual repositioning, right?"

Perhaps not expecting this question from Tang Ping.

Xiaogao habitually scratched his head, "I’m not really sure about that!"

"Don’t think I don’t know; you often go to the community health service center for medicine. You surely know their technical capabilities." Tang Ping gave him no chance to play dumb.

Whether it’s Boss Zhao’s Quick Recovery Clinic or Li Jingsheng’s Sunshine Clinic, some medicines are simply not available.

They have to figure out how to get them from the hospital.

Li Jingsheng doesn’t have such connections, so he must find alternative medications.

If Xie Guiqiu could help him gain access to the centralized procurement platform, obtaining medicine would no longer be an issue.

Xiaogao mainly does odd jobs and errands for the Quick Recovery Clinic.

When the Quick Recovery Clinic needs medicine, they would have him go to the community health service center to ’stock up’.

Li Jingsheng wasn’t aware of this until Tang Ping, during a routine checkup with Niuniu at the community health service center, accidentally discovered it.

"I, I only went a few times... They do have surgical services, but whether they do manual bone setting, I truly don’t know."

Xiaogao stammered, his face turning red.

"Alright, alright, don’t trouble Dr. Gao anymore! Let’s call it a day. Our clinic will eventually offer manual bone setting services."
