Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 105 - 102: Finally Mastered the Bone Touching Skill, First Talent

Chapter 105: Chapter 102: Finally Mastered the Bone Touching Skill, First Talent

The nurse was very smart, she didn’t interrupt from beginning to end, but when she looked at Li Jingsheng, her eyes clearly held a hint of enthusiasm.

In the Bone Setting Clinic, Doctor Xu is undoubtedly the top authority.

Equivalent to the lead surgeon in a surgery, holding a very high status.

From this situation, it’s clear that the relationship between Li Jingsheng and Doctor Xu is not ordinary. Naturally, she wants to maintain a good relationship with Li Jingsheng.

Don’t be deceived by how nurses scold interns like they scold their own grandchildren; they are well-versed in the art of survival in the hospital.

This time the patient who came in was a little girl around twelve years old, skinny like a bamboo pole, but not short, probably about 1.6 meters tall.

Her left hand was suspended in a sling and had a splint.

A man in his early forties followed her, his temples flecked with gray, possibly showing a lot of white hair.

Nowadays, people generally carry a lot of stress, unable to breathe due to mortgage and car loans. After reaching middle age, the pressure from both the elder and younger generations feels like several mountains are pressed upon them.

Middle-aged men fear unemployment, fear illness, fear earning no money.

Only a few truly live in comfort.

"Has this been treated somewhere?"

"It was treated at our local town health clinic,"

the girl’s father answered with a smile.

"Seven or eight days ago, my daughter fell off her bicycle and ended up with a fracture in her left wrist joint. At that time, she couldn’t exert any force with her left hand, and even spreading her fingers would cause severe pain. We had an X-ray taken at the town clinic, which showed joint dislocation. The doctor set it back based on the X-ray, applied a splint, and told us to go home and rest. A week has passed, and she’s still in pain; she can’t even turn the pages of a book with her left hand.

I heard people say that your bone setting skills are outstanding, so I thought of bringing her here for another look.

The X-rays were taken on Sunday, and the doctor here told me that my child’s wrist joint was not successfully reset.

If not corrected in time, there is a risk of disability.

Yesterday you were not on duty, so I especially took leave today to bring her for your treatment."

On Saturdays and Sundays, many specialists and chief physicians are off duty.

If the condition is complex, it’s best to seek medical attention from Monday to Friday.

This parent obviously wasn’t aware of this, resulting in a wasted trip.

Li Jingsheng listened on the side, and he started to have a plan. At the Second Hospital, the truly skilled bone setting doctor was probably only Doctor Xu.

Otherwise, this little girl could have seen another doctor for treatment when she came yesterday.

Having this master was like striking gold.

Even though Doctor Xu does not currently acknowledge being his master.

That’s alright.

Just like in Journey to the West, where Sun Wukong took Master Bodhi as his master, Master Bodhi likewise did not acknowledge being his master.

That didn’t stop Sun Wukong from learning all his skills from Master Bodhi.

"Let me see the X-ray."

Doctor Xu took the X-rays from the family member, looked closely, and his brow furrowed slightly.

"Doctor, is my daughter’s hand going to be okay?"

The family member, a man in his forties, had just passed his years of confusion. Seeing the doctor’s expression, his heart immediately sank.

"You as a parent are really careless! Luckily you came in time."

Despite being scolded, the family member was not angry, and instead showed a hint of relief.

He pleaded, "Oh, we as parents really don’t know anything. The child is so young, what would happen if she were to become disabled! From what you’re saying, it can be treated, so please take good care of her."

After pleading with the doctor, he didn’t forget to give his daughter a stern look.

"Let’s see if you dare to look around while riding a bike next time!"

The little girl, however, kept her head down and stayed silent after being scolded.

Mothers tend to be kind and fathers stern, which is almost inherent.

Many children are afraid of their fathers.

It’s really just a different way of showing love.

The mother’s love is gentler, while the father’s is deep and heavy.

"Xiaoli, take a look at these two X-rays. This one was taken before any treatment, and this one was taken at our hospital yesterday. Compare them."

Li Jingsheng took them and examined them carefully.

He noticed that the fracture on the wrist bone was still present in the second image.

The structure of the wrist joint is extremely complex, composed of multiple bones such as the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, capitate, and more.

The arrangement of the wrist bones is also extremely intricate.

They are divided into two rows, with each row consisting of four wrist bones.

Therefore, whether it’s a fracture or dislocation, the difficulty of manual reduction for the wrist bones is significantly higher than for shoulder joints.

This child’s wrist fracture isn’t severe, but it’s accompanied by multiple dislocations, which the town clinic doctors shouldn’t have handled.

Given Li Jingsheng’s limited clinical experience in orthopedics, such cases generally require surgical opening and internal fixation for reduction.

The level of the town clinic doctors is actually known to everyone.

Occasionally handling an appendicitis case is like celebrating the New Year for them.

The doctor who attempted manual reduction on this child might have been overly confident in their skills.

The fracture was not completely reduced successfully, and there remained a significant fracture line.

The dislocated wrist bones were even worse.

They improved only slightly compared to before treatment, without successful reduction.

Applying a splint in such a situation would only lead to malunion of the wrist bones.

No wonder Doctor Xu frowned after seeing the X-rays.

"Xiaoli, you should examine the patient first."

Unexpectedly, the second patient was again passed to Li Jingsheng for examination.

Doctor Xu was not merely taking care of him; he was fully nurturing him.

He had gained a lot of insights when he performed the bone-touching on the hip joint patient earlier; this time he should be able to go even further.

At this rate, there’s a possibility that he could practice the Bone Touching Skill to the Entry Level today.
