Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 96 - 95: A Clear Gap in Skill

The monk can run away, but the temple cannot. With the license plate number, they can definitely find the person.

However, if it was a car with a fake plate, that’s another story.

If I had known earlier, I would have taken a picture of that ugly face of the male driver too. With so many onlookers at the scene, surely one or two must have taken a picture?

The Audi sped away with a push of the gas pedal.

The crowd was furious; if he hadn’t driven away, they might have flipped the car over. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

In a way, it’s good; a hit-and-run can result in a more severe punishment, potentially even a criminal charge.

Li Jingsheng hurried to the beggar to check his injuries.

As soon as he squatted, he smelled an indescribable odor, somewhat rancid and foul, quite pungent. Luckily, doctors have seen ’the big picture,’ and this smell was minor.

Gangrene, purulent necrosis, peritonitis surgery, etc., those smells can make people lose their appetite.

Judging by the beggar’s appearance, he seemed to be about fifty years old.

"Don’t be afraid, uncle. I’m a doctor from Sunshine Clinic, and I’ll check your injuries first."

Li Jingsheng pointed to the clinic not far away, introducing himself.

The beggar’s eyes were filled with fear. First, his right arm was broken, then he was brutally beaten by the male driver, who even shouted about killing him later, naturally frightening the beggar immensely.

"Yayaya..."

The beggar made incoherent sounds, nodding at Li Jingsheng.

Among so many onlookers, only Li Jingsheng stood up bravely to help him in a time of crisis, which made the beggar see him as a good and trustworthy person.

Trying to examine the beggar, he found a fracture in the right arm, possibly dislocated, but he couldn’t be sure.

This requires an X-ray to know for sure.

The abdomen and chest were kicked several times, leaving bruises. The beggar’s body was covered with thick grime; I admire how he can endure not bathing.

The rest of the body wasn’t examined in detail, temporarily no fatal injuries were found.

Vital signs were stable.

"Xiaoli!"

A powerful voice rang out. Li Jingsheng turned to see Doctor Xu from the second hospital approaching with a five or six-year-old boy.

The little boy was holding a cup of roasted herba, drinking it with relish.

The roasted herba cup was printed with Minnan Hong’s Roasted Immortal Grass.

Li Jingsheng thought to himself, isn’t this from the shop diagonally opposite the Sunshine Clinic?

"Doctor Xu, are you out shopping with your son?"

"What are you looking at! This is my grandson."

Doctor Xu rolled his eyes dramatically.

Li Jingsheng was immediately embarrassed and quickly apologized with a smile, "Sorry, staying up late to read recently may have affected my eyesight. Little one, is the roasted immortal grass tasty?"

"Delicious!"

The little boy was very bold.

"I’m not a little one, my name is Xu Bing."

"Haha, it was an uncle’s slip of the tongue. Later, I’ll treat you to another cup of roasted immortal grass."

Li Jingsheng wanted to reach out and pat the little boy’s head, but realizing his hands were dirty from examining the beggar, he refrained.

Doctor Xu appearing with his grandson on Old Street of South City puzzled Li Jingsheng.

Did they live nearby, or did he accidentally bring his grandson out for a walk?

The food stalls on Old Street of South City are everywhere, and on Sundays, many parents bring their kids here to shop.

"How are his injuries?"

Doctor Xu asked.

"I just checked; the right arm seems to be fractured or dislocated, the man who hit him kicked him a few times, but the ribs don’t seem broken. Internal organs might have suffered some damage."

Without an X-ray, Li Jingsheng could only find out this much.

The beggar couldn’t communicate normally, so he couldn’t specify where he was in pain.

This added significant difficulty to the diagnosis.

Although Li Jingsheng’s general surgery diagnosis had reached the Master Level, it still required various test results, symptom descriptions from the patient, as well as physical exams and palpation to make a comprehensive diagnosis.

Moreover, the accuracy of such a diagnosis wouldn’t be very high.

The Master Level equates to a junior attending level, just barely qualifying to sit in a clinic.

Truly capable people are at least at the level of an associate chief physician or above.

Doctor Xu squatted down and spoke gently to the beggar, "Let me take another look at you."

The beggar seemed a bit resistant and shrank back.

"He’s Doctor Xu from the second hospital, his medical skills are superb, you don’t need to be afraid."

Li Jingsheng comforted the beggar from the side.

His words worked, and the beggar nodded to Doctor Xu with some "yiyaya" sounds.

Doctor Xu first put his hand inside the beggar’s clothes and felt his right shoulder.

The beggar showed a slightly pained expression.

Frowning, Doctor Xu gently but thoroughly examined the entire right shoulder and arm of the beggar.

"The bone isn’t broken, it’s just a dislocated shoulder. However, his shoulder joint has suffered some damage and will need to be in a sling for about a month."

A teacher is indeed a teacher.

He managed to pinpoint the beggar’s bone injury with precision just by feeling, without X-rays.

Li Jingsheng stood beside him, filled with envy.

If only he could reach that level someday.

"Come, touch this area with your hand."

Doctor Xu indicated for Li Jingsheng to feel the beggar’s right shoulder.

Li Jingsheng followed suit.

"Did you find anything?"

"No."

Li Jingsheng shook his head.

"With a bit more pressure, you can feel a depression in the bone at this spot, then feel the humerus below, and you’ll discover a slight drooping; this is a sign of shoulder dislocation. If it’s only isolated humerus drooping, it can’t be considered shoulder dislocation, since fractures can also cause humerus drooping."

Doctor Xu guided him patiently on the spot.

Li Jingsheng tried again.

With a bit more force, the beggar immediately showed a pained expression.

After a shoulder dislocation, whether by external force or moving the dislocated shoulder, it would bring tremendous pain to the patient.

I can’t even imagine how much it must have hurt for the beggar to be beaten by that male driver after breaking his arm.

That male driver ought to be caught and subjected to the full force of the law.

After feeling around, Li Jingsheng had a bit of understanding about the bone presentation of shoulder dislocation.

"What do you plan to do?" Doctor Xu looked at Li Jingsheng.

"Of course, we’ll call 120 for hospital treatment!" Li Jingsheng was confident that he could help the beggar reset his dislocated right arm, but he refrained from doing so.

Doctor Xu’s skills in bone setting are incredibly profound, so it’s not even necessary to mention.

He also refrained from treating the beggar on the spot.

After calling the 120 emergency number, the dispatch center informed him that four calls for emergency services had already been made. It was all for a traffic accident in Old Street of South City, with injured people.

It seems there are still many good people in this world!

Before long, a police car arrived at the scene.

The traffic police conducted a detailed inquiry, then investigated the scene, collected evidence, and took photos.

The 120 ambulance also arrived promptly, taking the wounded away.

As the beggar was lifted onto the stretcher, he pointed to the scattered bottles and the burlap sack on the ground, making "yiyaya" sounds.

Li Jingsheng understood what he meant; he couldn’t bear to leave those salvaged items.

While these items aren’t worth much, they were retrieved by the beggar from pungent, stinky trash bins.

These pieces of trash might only fetch around ten to twenty bucks, which might be two or three days’ worth of meals for the beggar.

"Don’t worry, go to the hospital safely for treatment. I’ll pick up these recyclables and sell them, then bring the money to you. Or you can come to my Sunshine Clinic to claim them later."

Li Jingsheng said to the beggar.
