Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 210 - 137: Withered Bone Structure, A Major Test for the Small Clinic

Chapter 210: Chapter 137: Withered Bone Structure, A Major Test for the Small Clinic

As for the young doctor, the patient knows that young doctors have less social experience, so they are much bolder in their approach.

"Xiaoli, come and touch his right knee and shin bone. Focus on the area near the soleus muscle line."

"Okay!"

Li Jingsheng heard the instructions and seriously performed a bone examination on the patient.

Doctor Xu asked him to touch the knee bone and shin bone, there must be a deeper meaning.

At first, Li Jingsheng didn’t find anything significant, only feeling that the bone quality seemed a bit loose.

When he touched the knee joint and shin bone, he could feel that the bone felt somewhat soft.

This phenomenon in adults suggests a sign of osteoporosis.

An ordinary person touching a metal rod and a wooden stick would surely easily discern which has greater density.

When Bone Touching Skill reaches a certain level, even through skin and a layer of fat, one can still detect the bone density with a keen sense of touch.

Li Jingsheng’s skill level in Bone Touching is currently at Master Level, able to sense bone quality and some bone structure.

"This bone doesn’t feel right!"

After repeating the examination four or five times, he discovered something new.

Initially, he didn’t find any abnormality, later suspected the possibility of osteoporosis, and after repeated examination, he found the patient’s leg bone seemed somewhat ’withered’.

How should I put it, it feels like it lacks vitality.

Like comparing two trees, one is alive, feels cool to the touch, sturdy, resilient, lively, and moist.

The other one has turned yellow and seems like it’s about to wither and die.

Upon touching, you’d find a noticeable lack of moisture and reduced resilience, clearly less sturdy than the other tree.

At this moment, touching the patient’s bone gave precisely that feeling.

As if the bone is nearly ’withered’.

"Xiaoli, have you found anything?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Doctor Xu asked Li Jingsheng.

"It feels like touching dead wood, hard to articulate, it’s a very peculiar feeling."

Li Jingsheng answered truthfully.

The patient suddenly became angry.

"You’ve been examining back and forth for ages, can my condition be treated or not? It’s just a hip joint injury from a fall, isn’t Bone Setting enough? Why must you treat me like a monster for research, is this a proper attitude for a doctor?"

The patient suddenly lashed out in anger, which Li Jingsheng saw as a sign of a guilty conscience.

His alarm was certainly triggered by Li Jingsheng finding abnormalities, thus feeling guilty.

"Bone Setting isn’t simple, a doctor needs to first clear up the situation before treating. This hip joint issue isn’t entirely caused by the fall, there are issues with the bone quality itself."

Doctor Xu replied calmly.

"Done, I’m not getting treated, all this fuss wasted my time without curing me. Refund my hundred yuan, I regret coming to this worthless clinic."

The patient changed attitude immediately.

Was polite to Li Jingsheng before, but his tactic now being exposed, he changed demeanor quickly to find a reason to escape.

More infuriating, he wanted a freebie.

Do they really think the clinic is made of clay to mold as they please?

"Diagnosing, I am offering free consultations. As for the hundred yuan, it was consented by you and your family during the X-ray examination, that can’t be refunded."

When did Li Jingsheng ever fear confrontation?

If provoked, he dared challenging even Boss Zhao.

This patient came with hidden malicious intent and wants to bluff now that he is nearly exposed, if Li Jingsheng compromised, the world truly would lose its sense of right and wrong.

"Will you refund or not?"

"Definitely not refunding."

"Fine, mark my words, I’ll make you kneel to return the money."

The patient showed an extremely vicious side.

A sinister expression.

Doctor Xu glanced at Li Jingsheng, lips moved but ultimately remained silent.

The two family members glared angrily at the doctors, storming off supporting the patient.

Outside, they continued spreading unfavorable remarks about the clinic to other patients and customers.

"Everybody leave, this is a notorious clinic, unable to treat illnesses and robbed us of a hundred yuan, whoever gets treated here is unlucky..."

Tang Ping and Xiaogao were astonished watching this family of three.

It was fine just moments earlier, why did it suddenly flip?

Their efforts to explain the situation to other visitors or patients were not worth mentioning.

But the incident had clearly affected the clinic’s reputation.

Several customers who originally intended to buy medication just left.

Other patrons and patients began leaving too.

At this moment, Sunshine Clinic fell into a hollow atmosphere.

The family of three reached outside the clinic only to shout loudly, hurling curses "Sunshine Clinic, fame-chasing charlatans, a black clinic, stealing my hundred yuan without treatment..."

Doctor Xu and Li Jingsheng came out from the treatment room and witnessed their true colors.

The patient’s son likely doesn’t know the truth.

Seeing his father’s grievances, he chose to defend family over facts.

Whether the patient’s wife knew about her husband’s cancer was uncertain.

"For such people, wouldn’t it be easier to refund the hundred yuan?"

Doctor Xu suggested to Li Jingsheng.

"I’d rather donate that hundred yuan to charity than refund him. If he wants to cause trouble, let him, if the world lacks justice and reason, everything becomes topsy-turvy."

Li Jingsheng upheld his principles.

He was never a perfect boss; faced with matters seriously challenging justice, he would rather break than bend.
