Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 179 - 126: Bountiful Gains, Holding the Fort Alone (Part 3)

Renting an inflatable archway, filing an application with city management for the event, arranging various tasks for the event day, a whole lot of things are waiting for him to prepare.

Handling the application, with his own ability, it's very difficult to get approval.

Spending some money to find someone to help is the only choice.

Xiaogao said he could find someone he knows, but the price is steep, a pack of Huazi, and it has to be Dahua.

That's a thousand yuan.

Li Jingsheng has already given Xiaogao 1,100 yuan to handle this. Whether it gets approved, he'll only know tomorrow.

Just for this, he'd need to sell more than two thousand yuan worth of health products to break even.

There's no such thing as black or not, these days it's hard enough to even get the gift accepted. People receiving gifts are afraid of losing their jobs. For people they don't know, they won't even let them in the door.

Then there's the free eggs given out, plus the grain, oil, and laundry detergent given for spending a certain amount—those are also money.

But as long as it can boost the clinic's popularity, this expense will pay off in less than a day.

Anyway, for Li Jingsheng, the cost of trial and error isn't high.

It's worth a try.

...

The next day, Li Jingsheng, as usual, showed up promptly at the manipulation bone setting outpatient room of the Second Hospital just before eight o'clock.

The young Dr. Chen and nurse Li Li were already on duty.

But Doctor Xu was nowhere to be seen.

"It's already seven minutes past eight, why haven't you started? I came here to queue up before seven in the morning. My kid's arm has been broken, and if this keeps up, I'm going to call and complain about you."

The man at the front of the line, around forty, with an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, looked extremely anxious.

His temper was quite volatile too.

It's understandable, seeing their child injured and not getting treatment would make any family anxious.

"Have you done any examinations?"

Despite her youth and petite stature, nurse Li Li remained very calm in the face of the agitated family.

"We took some X-rays in your emergency department, and they told us to come here for manipulation repositioning. If manipulation doesn't work, then we'll consider surgical treatment."

Manipulative bone setting is one of our country's specialties.

Even some complex dislocations with fractures can be repositioned with manipulation.

To foreigners, this seems incredible.

"Dr. Chen, why don't you take a look at him first!"

Li Li handed the patient's X-rays to Dr. Chen.

She wasn't clear about Li Jingsheng's identity and always thought he was an intern doctor.

She even believed he had connections.

Now that Doctor Xu wasn't here, she certainly trusted Dr. Chen's medical ability more.

After all, Dr. Chen had been working with Doctor Xu in the outpatient room for over two years.

Li Jingsheng had only been here for just over ten days.

"This is a rotational shoulder dislocation! The difficulty of manipulative repositioning is extremely high."

Dr. Chen, after taking a look, showed a troubled expression.

You don't climb Mt. Liang without confidence.

Dr. Chen was naturally aware of his own abilities in manipulative bone setting. Seeing this high-difficulty case, he was already feeling intimidated.

Seeing the family's hot temper, if he dared to fumble around and still didn't set it right, the family might just physically confront him.

"Dr. Li, please take a look!"

Dr. Chen quickly handed the X-rays to Li Jingsheng.

This action didn't feel strange to the family, but nurse Li Li couldn't help giving Li Jingsheng a curious look.

She wasn't sure if Dr. Chen was trying to save face, looking for a way out, or if Li Jingsheng's skill in manipulative repositioning was superior. Somewhat hesitantly, she sought advice from Li Jingsheng.

"The injury is indeed quite severe. Come, sit in the chair, I'll examine you first."

Having looked over it, Li Jingsheng sighed internally, the life points he earned yesterday hadn't even gotten warm yet, might have to use them soon.

To reposition the boy's shoulder joint would require a combination of advanced bone setting techniques: distraction and twist and stretch.

The distraction technique had already improved to the master level, which was adequate.

Yet, his twist and stretch skill was only at proficient level, comparable to a senior resident, which was definitely insufficient.

During operation, if the medical skill proficiency isn't high enough, it's very easy to sprain the child's tendons and soft tissues, or even injure the joint capsule synovium.

Li Jingsheng decided to first check the child's condition through bone touching.

Doctor Xu never usually arrived late, not sure what happened today.

The child sat on the chair used for repositioning, and Li Jingsheng examined the injury through bone touching.

The bone touching skill was still only at the master level, but it already provided more accurate information than a standard X-ray exam.

If it improved to minor achievement level, it might be even more precise than a CT scan.

Dr. Chen wasn't stupid, realizing that Li Jingsheng must have received true expertise from Doctor Xu, he watched with envy from the side. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

When it came to bone touching examination, Li Jingsheng and Doctor Xu could determine the patient's injury condition with just a touch.

Dr. Chen could work his hands for an hour and still learn nothing.

Though he was well aware of this, he could only feel frustrated.

What could he do if Doctor Xu wouldn't teach him? Even Dean Jin's nephew wanted to learn from him but was turned down.

He had no background, no connections, just being able to lend a hand in the outpatient room was already good enough.

After a thorough examination, Li Jingsheng already had a clear understanding.

He decisively upgraded his twist and stretch skill.

After spending 71 points of life value, the twist and stretch skill reached Master Level 100/500.

He could clearly feel a qualitative improvement in this bone setting method.

The proficient level and master level are completely two different concepts.

"Sir, please hold your son's waist and left arm, and keep his body steady."

Li Jingsheng said to the boy's father.

Nurse Li Li's eyes immediately widened, she looked at Li Jingsheng with a bit of shock.

Though Li Jingsheng always performed excellently in the outpatient room, she thought that was all due to Doctor Xu's intentional nurturing and hands-on guidance.

After all, she was just a nurse; she didn't understand the profound knowledge of bone setting techniques.

So she couldn't truly assess how skilled Li Jingsheng was.

Only Dr. Chen understood the vast difference between himself and Li Jingsheng.

"Dr. Chen, how about…"

"No, no, no, I'll just assist Dr. Li from the side, it's most appropriate for you to do the repositioning for the child." Before Li Jingsheng could finish speaking, Dr. Chen panicked and kept waving his hands.

Such a difficult bone setting was not a chance for him to shine, but a chance to get bashed.

How could he dare to accept it?

Li Jingsheng couldn't help but smile wryly. It was just a polite gesture, but he didn't expect it would make Dr. Chen so frightened.

It was mostly because this family member was a bit fierce and sturdy, which could be somewhat intimidating.
