Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 231 - 144: Ready for Official Registration, Massive Health Points

Chapter 231: Chapter 144: Ready for Official Registration, Massive Health Points

Patients often want to be discharged urgently, and after comprehensive consideration, doctors often compromise.

This is typical of the Second Hospital. In top-tier hospitals like the People’s Hospital or Qiaobang, it’s most common for doctors and nurses to urge patients to be discharged. On one hand, there’s a shortage of beds, and on the other, there’s pressure from performance metrics like average hospital stay.

"Tetanus has a major impact on the body. Even if you are discharged, I suggest you still take plenty of rest!" Li Jingsheng advised.

Tetanus is a very serious disease, with an extremely high mortality rate.

The damage to the body is also exceptionally terrifying.

Once the toxin invades the brain, it paralyzes the muscle relaxation regulator, causing muscles to only contract, not relax.

At this point, the patient’s skeletal muscles are in intense, continuous contraction, unable to be stopped.

This causes immense damage to the patient’s body. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

It can even lead to muscle rupture and dissolution, and in more severe cases, bone fractures can occur.

When the muscles in the throat continue to contract, the patient feels as if someone is choking them, has difficulty breathing, and can quickly suffocate to death.

This old man is truly fortunate to have survived.

If Li Jingsheng hadn’t discovered him in time and forcibly sent him to the hospital, even nine lives wouldn’t have been enough.

"I want to work but can’t. My whole body feels weak, just walking a few more steps feels exhausting. I wonder if I’ll ever recover?" The old man lamented about how his body was not what it used to be.

"Tetanus has a mortality rate of over 50%, especially for those between 20 and 64 years old, where the mortality rate is as high as 63%. You’re lucky to be alive, so count your blessings! Don’t worry too much about the current aftereffects; you should recover after some time."

There’s a strange phenomenon with tetanus mortality rates. It’s about 25% for the elderly aged 65, but the highest mortality rate is among young to middle-aged adults aged 20 to 64.

Young people under 20 are at the lowest risk of death from tetanus, about 12%.

Even so, this disease remains terrifying.

If there’s any risk of infection, be sure to get vaccinated promptly.

"Once you recover, will you still go collect recyclables?"

"Yes, of course!"

The old man replied very straightforwardly.

He wasn’t short of money; he collected and sold recyclables for charity. This kind of noble and selfless spirit is especially admirable.

"If you two continue collecting recyclables, I suggest each of you buy a pair of pliers."

"Oh, that’s a great suggestion!"

The old man gladly accepted.

"Mute, let’s each buy a pair later. I’ll cover the cost."

"Mmm mmm!"

The beggar nodded repeatedly.

"Ah-ah..."

The beggar unfolded the banner in his hand and handed it to Li Jingsheng, signaling continuously to him.

"Are you giving this to me?"

"Mm-mm!"

The beggar nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you!"

Li Jingsheng happily accepted the banner, which read, "Heroically Saved Lives, Just and Passionate."

This was a special banner received by Li Jingsheng.

The signature area read "Mute Wanderer."

This person probably doesn’t even know his own name, nor where he came from; he’s truly pitiful.

Perhaps having just been discharged, he was decently dressed.

Compared to the scruffy appearance he had when he was hit that day, it was entirely different.

His hair was shaved, his beard neatly trimmed, and his skin no longer had that disgusting black grime. However, the injured hand was still in a sling around his neck.

Due to the shoulder joint dislocation, even though the bone-setting technique was applied well, it still required a period of care.

"These are from me, young man. Thank you for saving my life. And thank you for paying the fare for me that day, and asking the driver to take me to register."

The old recycler also handed a banner to Li Jingsheng.

Judging by the material and style, it’s almost identical, surely from the same advertising shop.

The old man surely heard about Li Jingsheng covering the fare from that taxi driver.

"Excellent Medical Skills, Virtuous and Kind-hearted."

Also eight characters.

Receiving the banner, Li Jingsheng felt particularly proud.

Saving people is truly a joyful thing.

His life value instantly increased by 200.

Sowing seeds of kindness has now yielded fruitful results.

"Young man, we’re leaving now. I believe you’ll become a very famous good doctor."

After presenting the banner, the old recycler encouraged Li Jingsheng with a few words and left with the mute.

Li Jingsheng stood up to see them off, but the old man waved to prevent him from doing so.

"Boss, the number of banners at our Sunshine Clinic keeps growing! There are now four of them."

Tang Ping approached smiling warmly.

She was admiring the banner.

This was the honor brought back to Sunshine Clinic by the boss.

"Oh, there’s fifty yuan pressed under here!"

Tang Ping exclaimed in surprise.

Li Jingsheng looked, and indeed.

"Fare."

Attached to a note, writing two beautiful cursive characters.

"It must have been quietly left by the old recycler."

Li Jingsheng couldn’t help but shake his head and smile slightly; most people in this world are kind-hearted.

Ruthless and cold-hearted people are ultimately the minority.

Because of this, the world can be beautiful.

Li Jingsheng’s life value had already surged to 470 points.

This time, he could finally upgrade his Bone Touching Skill to Minor Achievement level.

Without hesitation, he decisively consumed 291 life points to upgrade the Bone Touching Skill.

Bone Touching Skill Minor Achievement 500.2/1000.

As the proficiency of this medical skill reached Minor Achievement level, Li Jingsheng could clearly feel a substantial progress in the Bone Touching Skill.

Not only was his judgment of bone appearance, soft tissue, and vascular injuries more precise and meticulous, but he also had some new breakthroughs. For instance, a better understanding and comprehension of the fracture treatment line, something that is reached once achieving the Minor Achievement level.
