Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 190 - 130: High-Difficulty Hemostasis, Saving Lives Comes With Great Rewards (Part 2)

Chapter 190: Chapter 130: High-Difficulty Hemostasis, Saving Lives Comes With Great Rewards (Part 2)

Fine beads of sweat were already seeping from his forehead.

"Why didn’t I think of using stitches to stop the bleeding?"

It was like seeing a ray of light in the darkness.

By stitching the wound, there was an indirect bleeding control effect to a certain extent.

In the rush to save the patient’s life just now, I only thought of direct hemostasis methods, neglecting the indirect ones.

"Sister Tang, quickly prepare the suturing needles and sutures for the head wound, needle holder, and tweezers. If you’re scared, let Dr. Gao bring them out."

Li Jingsheng spoke to her with compassion.

"Alright, alright..."

Tang Ping stood several meters away in the clinic watching, and upon hearing Li Jingsheng’s instructions, she immediately went to the treatment room to prepare.

Luckily, Li Jingsheng’s basic suturing skills are above Entry Level, reaching at least a Master Level resident physician.

Only at a critical moment like this can he save the injured person’s life.

If he were still at an intern or training level, the consequences would be hard to predict.

Normally, interns would take at least half an hour to suture a wound of this length. Trainees, depending on their strength, would take about twenty minutes at the fastest.

Moreover, the suturing result might not be very good.

After fetching the suturing materials and tools, Tang Ping hesitated for a moment but eventually bravely walked outside instead of handing them to Xiaogao. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But her eyes were still cautiously observing the movement outside the clinic door.

Checking whether the assailant was nearby.

"You... not afraid anymore?"

Li Jingsheng quickly took the gloves and put them on, promptly using the needle holder to clamp the suturing needle.

Unlike sewing needles, surgical suturing needles are mostly curved and hook-shaped.

The difficulty of threading is slightly higher.

Tang Ping’s heart was surely still filled with fear, and her hands kept trembling.

Faced with such a bloody scene with potential violence, not just women, but even most men would feel fear and trepidation.

"I’m exercising my courage."

As she spoke, she was already squatting down, starting to use a comb to clean the patient’s head wound and surrounding hair.

If it were a formal surgery, a skin preparation would certainly be necessary.

Now, she could only handle it simply.

Xiaogao waited for a while, and seeing no danger outside, he also walked out.

Li Jingsheng had already threaded the needle.

"Dr. Gao, help me hold the patient’s head and pour some saline to rinse the wound."

If it’s a contaminated wound, rinsing with hydrogen peroxide is quite effective too.

Common practice in primary healthcare facilities.

"Not using local anesthesia?"

"We must hurry to stop the bleeding now; using local anesthesia would take too much time. In urgent situations, we make exceptions!"

After speaking, Li Jingsheng also addressed the wounded.

"We’re going to stitch your wound now. It’ll hurt a bit, but bear with me. The bleeding is too severe; it must be stopped quickly, or it could be life-threatening."

The injured person didn’t respond.

He had already fallen into shock.

Li Jingsheng began suturing, opting for the simple continuous suturing technique.

This skill was now at a Master level, obviously not as proficient as the Master Level intermittent suturing.

Unfortunately, his remaining life points were only at 57, not enough to upgrade this medical skill.

Luckily, the Master level was much stronger than the Entry Level.

It took about eight minutes to complete the head wound suturing.

The bleeding significantly lessened.

However, internal bleeding certainly still existed.

And the suturing wasn’t perfect, only at the Master Level resident physician’s proficiency!

"Dr. Gao, get two more ice packs and try to help him stop the bleeding as much as possible."

Li Jingsheng carefully observed the patient’s condition.

Including the two most crucial signs: breathing and heartbeat.

By then, several police cars had already arrived at the scene, and one parked directly in front of the clinic.

The ambulance hadn’t arrived yet.

"Doctor, how’s the injured person?"

The officers got out of the cars and walked over.

"The injuries are very severe; the skull is fractured, there’s major bleeding from the head. For now, we’ve taken emergency measures to suture the wound, which has some effect, but certainly needs to be sent to a major hospital for further rescue immediately. Also, there’s a comminuted fracture on the left arm humerus, severe blunt force trauma to the leg, and at least three fractured ribs..."

Li Jingsheng explained the wounded’s condition to the police, and even the seasoned officers turned pale.

The injuries were so severe, the assailant completely ignored the law, intent on causing death!

"Thank you to all three of you for your hard work! The ambulance should be arriving soon; until the handover, please take care of the wounded as best as you can to ensure his survival."

"It’s our duty!"

Li Jingsheng acted very calmly.

The police instinctively looked up at the clinic’s old, severely worn-out sign.

"Sunshine Clinic! Ah... isn’t this the one that was in the newspapers the other day? No wonder they dared to stand out and save people!"

They couldn’t help but hold Li Jingsheng in higher esteem, their gaze filled with admiration and respect.

In dangerous situations, not every doctor is willing to stand out and risk their lives to save the injured.

Even though every medical professional has recited oaths upon entering medical school, truly remembering them and adhering to them is rare.

Tang Ping and Xiaogao were delighted by the police’s praise for them.

The sense of accomplishment for medical professionals comes in two parts: one is seeing the patient recover after overcoming a disease, and the other is the recognition of family, patients, and society toward medical personnel.

At this point, the ambulance arrived, sirens blaring.

Judging from the license plate, it was yet another ambulance from the Second Hospital.

In this area, when there are patients or injured people needing rescue, the Second Hospital responds all ten times out of ten.
