Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 109 - 103: The Teacher’s Shock—One Lap, Two Laps, Three Laps (Part 2)

Chapter 109: Chapter 103: The Teacher’s Shock—One Lap, Two Laps, Three Laps (Part 2)

This breakthrough alone left Doctor Xu both delighted and shocked.

Watching Li Jingsheng’s bone-touching movements and processes at this moment, Doctor Xu was horrified to find that this young man seemed to have made even greater progress.

However, he wasn’t sure yet.

After all, this was too fantastical.

No matter how prodigious the talent, it shouldn’t rise to this level so suddenly, right?

Just wait until this young man finishes the bone touching, and see what conclusions he draws to gauge his depth.

Li Jingsheng was currently fully immersed in the ’perfect’ experience provided by master level Bone Touching Skill.

Compared to entry level, the difference was like heaven and earth.

While performing Bone Touching, the useful diagnostic information obtained was unimaginably plentiful.

The Bone Touching before entry level was not worth mentioning, akin to a little pony crossing the river.

Entry level Bone Touching was a bit better than before entry, but only slightly stronger. It was basically like watching flowers from a galloping horse. The diagnostic information obtained was very limited.

Li Jingsheng managing to feel the bone temperature of the patient was already quite spot on.

Proficient level was more well-practiced than entry level and could obtain more information.

But it still couldn’t be considered impressive.

Now his bone touching directly reached master level, already possessing the ability of a high-level expert. Although not top-tier, reaching third-rate expert level was definitely not a problem.

The patient’s bone quality, bone temperature, bone position, joint structure, and even the condition of blood vessels could be initially sensed.

The greatest advantage of sensing blood vessel condition was in assessing damage to soft tissue as well as cartilage and cartilage layers.

This time, the bone-touching experience transformed completely into an ’enjoyable’ exploration.

Calm, confident, skillful, precise.

All sorts of bone and surrounding tissue information converged into his brain, slowly forming a clear bone structure map.

If he were to perform manipulation repositioning now, it would be as intuitive as opening a surgical site.

These were the benefits brought by Bone Touching Skill.

No wonder Doctor Xu said Bone Touching Skill is the foundation of all Bone-setting Skills.

Doctor Xu patiently waited for Li Jingsheng to finish, then said, "Xiaoli, tell me your exam results."

Dr. Chen also looked expectantly at Li Jingsheng.

Wanting to hear how his diagnostic results would differ.

"There seems to be a fracture in the left wrist scaphoid, and the carpal dislocation is more severe than the X-ray results showed. Several blood vessels around the carpal bone have certain damage, and the capitate bone near the scaphoid should also be somewhat damaged."

Li Jingsheng gave his diagnostic conclusion.

"This, this can’t be right! The X-ray clearly didn’t show any fracture!"

Dr. Chen was filled with doubt after hearing that.

It was then he seemed to recall what Doctor Xu had previously mentioned, that he believed the patient’s injury was not that simple.

Now that Li Jingsheng has completed his examination, he actually found a scaphoid fracture.

If this turned out to be false, well and good; but if true, Li Jingsheng’s bone-setting ability was already far superior to his.

"Doctor, could you be mistaken? Your colleague with six years of work experience checked me and clearly said it was just a slight carpal dislocation, not a fracture!" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The deliveryman was evidently not convinced by this result.

He even thought Li Jingsheng was a novice, whose experience and skills must not match those of an older doctor.

In fact, Dr. Chen wasn’t old and could actually be one or two years younger than Li Jingsheng.

However, due to the previous introduction, in the patient’s mind, Dr. Chen was the experienced doctor, and Li Jingsheng was the novice.

This also demonstrated the importance of doctors boasting a little appropriately.

"Doctor Xu, could you perhaps check again and see whose results between mine and Dr. Li’s are more accurate?" Dr. Chen had considerable admiration for Doctor Xu’s skills.

With a dispute arising, it was undoubtedly necessary for a superior doctor to conduct a re-examination.

"Alright!"

Doctor Xu felt the patient’s carpal bones, the entire process taking about twenty seconds.

"Go have a CT scan; sometimes X-ray exams can show deviations. It’s not worth leaving sequelae just to save a bit of money."

Doctor Xu suggested to the patient.

"Is this...really necessary?"

The patient was somewhat reluctant.

Getting another examination meant not only waiting in line but also additional expenses.

CT scans are not cheap.

"I think it’s very necessary. Of course, it’s your body, and as doctors, we can only offer recommendations. The final decision is up to you."

Doctor Xu was more practiced in speech and conduct than Dr. Chen.

With his level in Bone Touching, he definitely felt the carpal bone fracture in the patient, but he didn’t mention it.

This way, the chance of being contradicted was minimized.

After considering for a moment, the patient ultimately decided to go for the scan.

After all, being so young, risking a disability would be too much.

Doctor Xu issued an additional wrist CT application for the patient, directing them to go directly.

The cost was not cheap, with a charge of 214 yuan.

If it was to check the thoracic or abdominal cavity, the costs would be even higher.

After this patient left, a new one was called in.

The patient was around thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, female, and somewhat fashionably dressed. However, her mouth was held slightly open in an odd shape, with a stiff expression on her face, only her eyes revealing fear and pain.

"What happened here?"

"We were playing mahjong, she drew a good tile and won, then laughed open-mouthed excitedly. But after just two laughs, her voice disappeared, and she pointed fearfully at her chin. It seems like... her jaw dislocated from laughing."

Two women who accompanied her explained the situation.

Laughing until the teeth or jaw fall out, dying of laughter, were originally just exaggerated expressions of laughter.
