Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 112 - 104: Cured in One Move, Trouble for the Medical Affairs Department (Part 2)

Chapter 112: Chapter 104: Cured in One Move, Trouble for the Medical Affairs Department (Part 2)

His face looked gloomy.

Dr. Chen eagerly stepped forward to examine the test results.

"How is it? No fracture, right?"

While he asked, he was already examining the CT scan against the light.

"I asked the doctor in the CT room, and they said I have a scaphoid fracture in my wrist, and the dislocation of the joint is quite severe. They also told me that wrist bone fractures and dislocations can easily be overlooked on a regular X-ray, while the CT’s multiplanar and volumetric reconstruction can reveal hidden wrist fractures and provide a better understanding of the complexity and severity of the fracture dislocation. They suggested I rely on the CT results."

The delivery guy was full of worries about the new test results.

His brows were furrowed the whole time.

After examining the CT, Dr. Chen murmured to himself, "How come it really is a fracture? It seems the accuracy of X-ray exams isn’t great!"

Only at this moment did he realize how large the gap was between himself and this intern named Li.

He couldn’t understand how Li Jingsheng knew there was a fracture just by feeling the patient’s wrist bone.

He naturally didn’t know it was because Li Jingsheng had learned the Bone Touching Skill taught by Doctor Xu.

There’s a huge difference between those who have learned the Bone Touching Skill and those who haven’t.

"Doctor, can this be cured with manual repositioning?"

The delivery guy was most concerned about this issue now.

After looking at the CT, Doctor Xu calmly said, "We can try manual repositioning first; if it doesn’t succeed, surgical repositioning can still be done later."

"No problem, please do your best!"

The delivery guy nodded repeatedly in agreement upon hearing this.

This time, Doctor Xu didn’t let Li Jingsheng do the repositioning but personally handled the treatment.

"Xiaoli, watch my repositioning technique closely. For complex injuries like this, with both joint dislocation and fracture, simple repositioning techniques are not enough. You need to use your hand to feel, then traction, followed by pressing, squeezing, and lifting."

There was no sound of bones cracking, just the delivery guy’s screams of pain.

Doctor Xu’s Bone Setting technique had reached a very high level. He just manipulated and pressed a few times, and it was done.

Li Jingsheng stood aside watching, meanwhile striving to recall the bone map he constructed after feeling the bone structure of the delivery guy.

Only in this way could he understand the profound intention behind each of Doctor Xu’s Bone Setting actions.

"Alright, apply a plaster, fix it for about twenty-one days, and then review it again."

After finishing the procedure, Doctor Xu left the remaining tasks to Dr. Chen.

Li Jingsheng was eagerly dissecting every Bone Setting move Doctor Xu just performed.

"Doctor, must I wait twenty-one days before I can work? Is there any way for me to return to work sooner?"

The delivery guy asked with a troubled expression.

"You should be grateful! If it wasn’t for Doctor Xu’s excellent medical skill, with both a fracture and joint dislocation, you’d definitely need surgery to be cured. Now that we’ve manually repositioned it, you can save a lot on treatment costs, recover faster than with surgery, and you don’t even need to be hospitalized."

The nurse persuaded him from the side.

Dealing with patients, it has to be the female nurses.

They naturally have an advantage in this aspect.

"It’s not that I’m ungrateful, it’s just that thinking about resting for a month and having spent a sum on this treatment, what about next month’s mortgage?"

The delivery guy explained, frowning.

The nurse and Dr. Chen were taken aback by these words. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"What? You’re only twenty-one and have already bought a house?"

The nurse asked in surprise.

"Hehe, it’s nothing, right? I didn’t continue school after high school, ran deliveries for over three years, and didn’t spend much money usually. I wanted to settle down in the city, so I paid a down payment and bought a house."

As he talked about this, the delivery guy showed some pride.

Li Jingsheng had worked for many years but still hadn’t bought a house, and he’d studied far more than this delivery guy.

He felt quite defeated.

Truly, comparison can be infuriating.

Those willing to endure hardship and work hard seem to always excel.

In recent years, the most common advice he heard was that if you can endure hardship, you’ll have endless hardships to endure.

Ignoring such pessimism from elders, you’ll be happy for many years.

But the reality is, this delivery guy, at just twenty-one, has managed to buy a house and have a home of his own through hard work.

"At twenty-one, to buy a house through your own efforts, is nothing? You’re really exceptional, you know?" The nurse was quite young, around twenty-two or twenty-three.

Watching this earnest and diligent delivery guy, she seemed to have a fondness for him.

She started chatting with him directly.

Having a house in the city indeed makes it easier to find a wife, that’s the truth.

Li Jingsheng gritted his teeth, realizing he must learn from this delivery guy, hoping for the day he can buy a house in the city.

Previously, buying a house seemed like an unattainable dream.

While working in the hospital, the salary wasn’t high, moreover, both he and his girlfriend were extravagant spenders, making it impossible to save money.

Even now, whenever he has some savings, he tends to spend them all.

The life balance is just the same, whatever accumulates soon gets spent.

At that moment, two doctors came in with work badges around their necks.

The leading doctor was about forty-one or forty-two years old, full of authority on his face.

Following was a female doctor, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, quite attractive but with the same icy and indifferent demeanor.

In the hospital, those with work badges around their necks are typically the leaders.

Li Jingsheng noticed the leading man’s work badge with a glance.

Medical Office, Deputy Section Chief, Shang Zhi.

The person wasn’t just a leader but a section-level leader.

Li Jingsheng instinctively stepped back a little.

Mainly because he’s not a doctor at this hospital, and now standing there wearing a white coat in the outpatient room treating patients with Doctor Xu, he felt somewhat insecure.
