Chapter 419: Chapter 206: Great Success Level Bone Reading, Divine Skills_3

Now the Bone Touching Skill has reached Master Level, and other Bone Setting techniques are also quite good.

As an orthopedic surgeon, being weak in orthopedic diagnosis is definitely unacceptable.

He was considering whether to enhance his orthopedic diagnosis skills.

As his abilities continue to strengthen, his vision has also expanded greatly.

Simply advancing from Attending Level to Master Level wouldn’t satisfy him. At the very least, he needs to reach Minor Achievement level.

Right now, this highly challenging orthopedic case requires the use of orthopedic diagnosis.

Li Jingsheng gritted his teeth and spent 427 points of life value to directly enhance his orthopedic diagnosis from Attending Level to Minor Achievement level.

It’s akin to advancing two levels at once.

His painstakingly saved life value dropped again, leaving only 54 points.

He isn’t worried at all because now, whether in the hospital or the clinic, he accrues a substantial amount of life value every day.

At this moment, he feels a bit jubilant due to the improvement in orthopedic diagnosis.

The ability to diagnose in orthopedics has directly reached high-year Attending Level.

It perfectly matches his doctor level.

This is very good.

It immediately elevates his diagnostic skills to the top ten in orthopedics.

He definitely couldn’t rank before.

Previously, he aided in diagnosing two challenging orthopedic cases, thanks to the help of the Bone Touching Skill and general surgery diagnosis.

Now it’s different.

His real level of orthopedic diagnosis is solid and genuine.

Not only can he diagnose diseases in the trauma field well, but he also has considerable accomplishments in diagnosing orthopedic diseases related to joints, bone disease, spine, and other areas.

"Dr. Li chat with Dr. Ou first, and I’ll report to Professor Wu and others to see if we can organize another internal discussion with your presence here."

Ruan Xiaoqin is now as excited as if on adrenaline.

Because if this case gets successfully diagnosed and treated, he will gain significant benefits.

Moreover, he can successfully resolve a ’hot potato’ in hand.

As there are benefits, his enthusiasm is naturally high.

Ou Qinglan is quite annoyed; it’s one thing that Professor Wu used her to ’hook’ Li Jingsheng, now Dr. Ruan is also utilizing her to retain Li Jingsheng.

Did anyone ask her opinion?

Of course, she is definitely willing.

Because she indeed likes Li Jingsheng very much.

But being used as a chip to retain Li Jingsheng without ever being asked her opinion or anyone considering her feelings makes her a bit angry.

Many junior doctors have similar experiences like hers.

Especially female doctors and nurses, who are slightly better looking, face many workplace dilemmas and harassment.

"Qinglan, open that case for me once more!"

Li Jingsheng, now equipped with Minor Achievement level orthopedic diagnosis, combined with his previous gains from Bone Touching, wants to see if he can diagnose the patient’s condition accurately and then formulate a preliminary treatment plan.

Earlier that morning, Doctor Xu advised him not to rely on any senior doctors, which gave him a great inspiration.

After repeatedly researching the patient’s past surgical plans, preoperative injuries, and current situation, Li Jingsheng’s mind slowly formed a thread of pathology.

Then, he clarified it.

There are two causes, one is improper bone grafting, the other is not considering that the patient had old fracture injuries. This should be the main cause.

At this moment, Director Hua came in eagerly.

His gaze directly focused on Li Jingsheng.

He didn’t even bother that Li Jingsheng and Ou Qinglan were sitting together, discussing the case intimately.

"Dr. Li, have you really found out the cause of that patient’s long-term unhealed fracture?"

Director Hua asked him.

"I can’t say it’s definitely correct, but it can be certain that part of the reason for the patient’s last surgical failure is related to old bone injuries that occurred over a decade ago."

Li Jingsheng didn’t dare to criticize the First Hospital for improper bone grafting.

If the chief surgeon hears it, they would definitely be furious.

"Well done, kid! If you manage to crack this tough nut, you’ll do a great service for our orthopedics department. Are you ready to take full responsibility for this patient?"

Director Hua is more ruthless than Doctor Xu, directly placing the patient on his shoulders.

"I’m just a minor resident; dealing with such a tough case is beyond me, even if you lay it on thickly!"

Li Jingsheng wore a bitter expression.

"The process for your promotion to Attending is already underway. At most, the Attending appointment letter will arrive by next month. Don’t lament to me about being a minor resident; you’re entirely at Attending Level now."

Director Hua revealed an extremely significant piece of good news.

Li Jingsheng was thrilled to hear it.

Originally, according to his agreement with Director Hua, he needed to serve a year at the Second Hospital to be promoted to Attending, yet with less than two months of work, he was directly promoted to Attending.

Director Hua wants to push him upward no matter what!

It’s understandable, as orthopedics indeed lacks experts to hold the fort.

Li Jingsheng exhibits extraordinary abilities across the board; any department head would cultivate him eagerly.

A department desperately needs such a superstar.

Ten ordinary talents can’t compare to one prodigy.

"So soon the Attending appointment letter is given to me! Isn’t the hospital afraid of financial losses?"

Li Jingsheng showed a sly smile.

He’s naturally delighted to hear about the Attending promotion.

Previously, at the First Hospital, he’d hoped for years just to get promoted to Attending, then to coast along until retirement.

Yet his colleagues one after another obtained the Attending letters; although he passed the Attending exam, he hadn’t received the letter.

Asking department leaders, there’s always one answer, that the Attending quota is tight, and he should wait.

Eventually, Li Jingsheng resigned directly.

Because he believed his skills weren’t lacking.

Of course, facts proved himself at the time to be a ’naïve fool’ like on TV, foolish and ignorant.

Maybe his medical knowledge was solid and he was diligent in work, but other merits were genuinely hard to find.

He concluded this after opening a clinic later.

Whether in diagnostic skills, prescription skills, or interpersonal abilities, all were below par.

Surgical skills were even worse.

There was no limit to its poorness.

"Didn’t you get quite a sum last month? Most Attending physicians wouldn’t earn as much as you. Old Xu specifically mentioned at lunch earlier, saying from now on you should learn to conduct consultations independently. Only if you really can’t decide, may you seek his help. You must solve everything else yourself."

Director Hua candidly revealed.

It’s undeniable, Doctor Xu is very sincere; Director Hua also wants to retain this talent. So last month’s salary, anything Li Jingsheng accomplished independently, was counted as his personal achievement.

Don’t think large hospitals lack bonuses; they actually have performance-related incentives too.

Generally, in any unit, it’s more work, more gain.

Otherwise, there’d be no work motivation for everyone.

Ou Qinglan smiled at Li Jingsheng with inquiry in her eyes.

Being paid more than average Attending physicians, while working only three days a week, makes many people green with envy!

"Hehe, I should speak honestly in front of you. But I really can’t handle this patient. He must undergo surgery again, likely requiring re-bone-grafting, and I’m not qualified to host such a procedure!"

Li Jingsheng chuckled awkwardly and rejected it once again.

Income is everyone’s secret among doctors; it’s generally not easily disclosed.

An orthopedics department’s Attending physician, if doing poorly, earns seven to eight thousand a month; if doing well, the salary goes beyond twenty thousand.
