Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 182 - 127: Dr. Chen Wants to Take a Mentor, and It’s Hilariously Awkward (Part 3)

"It was Dr. Li who operated."

Dr. Chen noticed Doctor Xu's complexion darkened a bit, and his tone wasn't quite right, so he quickly pushed Li Jingsheng forward as a shield.

"You can treat this kind of bone injury?"

Doctor Xu stared at him with a cold gaze.

"I felt somewhat confident. You weren't around at the time, so I took over. Fortunately, I didn't ruin your reputation. After repositioning, I checked the bones, and they were normal. The fracture line is also tightly closed; with some care, it shouldn't be a big problem after a while."

Li Jingsheng wasn't afraid of him.

Answering very calmly.

"How did you reposition it?"

Doctor Xu's expression was still not very pleasant.

His main concern was that Li Jingsheng might recklessly show off and delay the patient's condition.

"I had the child's father hold him in a seated position for repositioning. First adduction, then internal rotation traction, followed by abduction and forward flexion..."

Li Jingsheng recounted the treatment process.

After listening, Doctor Xu's previously darkened face turned bright again.

"Well done! Remember, you can be bold yet cautious when treating patients, but you must act within your capabilities. Reckless bravado and arrogance, which delay the patient's condition, are things you must never do."

After hearing his repositioning process, based on his rich experience, Doctor Xu knew that Li Jingsheng had most likely succeeded in repositioning.

"I'm not that kind of person!"

Li Jingsheng pouted.

Having practiced medicine for so many years, even when his medical skills were terrible, he never did such irresponsible things. What's more, now that he has opened a clinic, it is even more impossible to do so. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"It seems you've reached a certain level in traction and twist and stretch, which shows you've been diligent and hardworking. Do you still remember the four kinds of displacement at the fracture ends?"

Doctor Xu was very gratified to see his 'disciple' progressing so rapidly.

His gaze towards Li Jingsheng became much softer.

"Overlapping, rotational, angular, and lateral displacement!"

"Yes, those are the four types. When encountering one or two of these conditions simultaneously, traction and twist and stretch techniques need to be combined. This is the only way to align the axis of the distant and near fracture ends, allowing the overlapping displacement to be corrected."

These are the essences of advanced bone-setting techniques.

Doctor Xu openly said this in front of Dr. Chen, without fear of him learning them.

Li Jingsheng nodded repeatedly after listening.

He already had a certain degree of understanding and comprehension for these repositioning techniques.

To advance further, it might be necessary to upgrade both traction and twist and stretch to the Minor Achievement level.

It's not something to think about for now.

Because after upgrading the Twist and Stretch Skill to Master Level just now, his life value was only 43 points.

After successfully setting the bones for the patient, he earned 11 points, bringing it to only 54 life points.

This amount of life points was of little use to him now.

Because many medical skills, after reaching the Master Level, require 500 proficiency points to advance to the next level.

Medicine is destined to be a slow-growing profession.

Even with an attribute panel, it remains the same.

But this is also related to him improving multiple fields simultaneously.

There's intraperitoneal diagnosis, general surgery, respiratory medicine, cardiology... too many medical skills need to be improved.

This is also why many senior medical professionals don't recommend young doctors to pursue a generalist development path.

With limited time and energy, mastering one field is already very good.

Don't bite off more than you can chew.

Yearning to learn this and that, you're likely to achieve nothing in the end.

Li Jingsheng could totally ignore this taboo because he had the 'upgrade key' of an attribute panel.

"Xiaoli, did you learn the lifting and pressing I taught you a few days ago?"

Doctor Xu completely treated Dr. Chen as if he were invisible.

In fact, as Dr. Chen listened to him instructing Li Jingsheng, it felt like hearing a heavenly book.

"I've been practicing, and the basic principles are not a problem. It's just that more practice is needed for specific operations." Li Jingsheng openly grabbed the opportunity for hands-on training.

"Well, as long as there is a chance, I will give you hands-on practice. Today, I'll teach you the holding and squeezing techniques."

Doctor Xu began teaching him new skills again.

Every time before teaching advanced bone-setting techniques, he would teach these most basic bone-setting techniques.

Li Jingsheng's Ordinary Osteopathic Skill had already reached Master Level, allowing him to gain twice the result with half the effort when learning these relatively complex basic bone-setting techniques.

This was an ability that Dr. Chen could only dream of achieving.

It also made Doctor Xu appreciate him even more.

Teachers naturally like students with good grades.

...

By around ten o'clock in the morning, it was time for Li Jingsheng to return to the clinic.

He had already learned the two rather advanced bone-setting techniques, squeezing and holding.

Combined with the two techniques learned before, they formed the lifting, pressing, holding, and squeezing techniques.

This is the fourth type of advanced bone-setting technique.

By mastering it, he can not only set bones for patients' limbs but also treat more complex lateral limb fractures and other bone injuries. He can already treat certain cervical, lumbar, and spinal bone diseases.

He could feel that as long as he mastered the fourth bone-setting technique, he was qualified to become an ordinary expert in the field of manual bone-setting and repositioning.

Sunshine Clinic should be able to officially launch manual bone-setting treatment.

Sooner than he expected!

So far, his small clinic had only treated two cases of joint dislocation.

Once officially launched, there should be more opportunities to receive such cases.

In the future, the clinic's sources of income will have one more addition.

"Xiaoli, make sure to practice more if you have the opportunity when you return. You have great talent; you're naturally suited for this. I really hope you could close the clinic and work directly with me here. Within three years, your bone-setting and repositioning skills will probably surpass mine."

Doctor Xu looked quite reluctant to see him returning to the clinic.

Dr. Chen and Li Li, who were nearby, almost couldn't believe their ears when they heard this.

To surpass Doctor Xu in just three years of learning, Dr. Li's talent was simply monstrous.

"So Dr. Li is also running a clinic! I'll come by and visit another day when I have time!"

Dr. Chen obviously still had ulterior motives.

Unable to learn advanced bone-setting techniques from Doctor Xu, he planned to find a breakthrough from Li Jingsheng.

Previously, Li Jingsheng always said he had something to do and never revealed his true identity.

This time, it was exposed by Doctor Xu.

"Sure, but my small clinic is broken and old, and I'm usually quite busy. I'm just worried that I can't entertain you well." Li Jingsheng did not refuse.

"Xiaoli is so busy every day; don't go and bother him. Do you have nothing to do? I can talk to Director Hua to give you more responsibilities. Our orthopedic department is always short-staffed for night shifts. You seem quite suitable for it."

Doctor Xu said coldly from the side.

"Ahem... I was just joking with Dr. Li earlier. I'm currently working on a paper and planning to participate in a project, so I'm actually quite busy. Dr. Li, I'll visit you some other time, not now."

Dr. Chen's face turned pale with fright.

In the hospital, if you want overtime, there will be endless overtime.

Especially night shifts, which are very exhausting.

Many young doctors cover three to four night shifts a week.

Working non-stop for 36 hours is not unheard of.

Dr. Chen, working with Doctor Xu in the clinic, had it relatively easy.

He usually got off work on time, and the inpatient department never assigned him tasks.

Doctor Xu made it clear that he didn't want him bothering Li Jingsheng. If he couldn't take the hint, he'd definitely get overworked to death.
