Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic
Chapter 417 - 206: Great Success Level Bone Palpation—Miraculous
Arriving at the ward, a very young male patient can be seen sitting on the chair beside the bed, looking around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
"Luo Feiming, this is Dr. Li from our orthopedics department. He is highly skilled in manual bone setting, bone trauma treatment, joint treatment and other areas. He’s here specifically to examine your wrist bone condition."
Ruan Xiaoqin is quite good at talking, leaving nothing to be desired in this regard.
Li Jingsheng was originally just a regular resident doctor in the orthopedics department, but with that kind of praise, he’s now almost equivalent to an expert.
"Thank you, thank you!"
The man named Luo Feiming expressed gratitude while starting to scrutinize Li Jingsheng.
"Your doctors at the second hospital are quite young!"
There’s an underlying meaning in this statement.
Without facial hair, there’s no reliability.
Young doctors often have skills that aren’t dependable, making patients and their families hesitant to trust easily.
Luo Feiming had undergone surgery treatment at the first hospital, but his bone injury hasn’t healed after a year. He has heightened caution towards doctors. After all, if his hand is not treated properly again, it might be ruined.
"Now hospitals require high education levels when recruiting doctors. Youthfulness is the trend. Although Dr. Li seems young, he is quite renowned in our orthopedics department!"
Ruan Xiaoqin helped with the conversation to avoid awkwardness.
Li Jingsheng, meanwhile, approached the patient who showed no intention of standing up, so Li Jingsheng could only squat down.
"Let me take a look at your left hand."
The patient proactively extended his left hand for Li Jingsheng to examine.
Li Jingsheng began to perform bone touching on the patient.
Immediately, his brow slightly furrowed.
The Bone Touching Skill is currently at Minor Achievement 971/1000.
Essentially, with just one touch, the condition of the bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues can all be discerned.
The effectiveness of bone touching isn’t inferior to a CT scan.
This patient’s bone injury has extended over a year.
During the bone touching, the sensation is somewhat dull. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
It’s not that the sensation isn’t clear, but it’s difficult to judge the nature and condition of the bone injury.
Li Jingsheng originally intended to wait for the Bone Touching Skill to automatically advance because he wanted to save more life points for upgrading surgical and diagnostic medical skills.
These medical skills are difficult to upgrade but are particularly important.
Saving life points to upgrade them is more beneficial.
Bone Touching Skill and other manual bone setting techniques can be applied frequently every day, automatically increasing skill proficiency.
Using 29 life points, he advanced the Bone Touching Skill from Minor Achievement to Great Success on the spot.
Luckily, he had recently upgraded his doctor rank to Senior Attending.
Otherwise, elevating the Bone Touching Skill to Great Success Level would have been impossible.
Bone Touching Skill Great Success 1000/2000.
This is also the first skill to reach the Great Success Level.
The Bone Touching Skill now possesses the equivalent proficiency level of an Associate Chief Physician.
The Bone Touching Skill at Minor Achievement Level can already detect bone vitality, density, and disease presence.
For example, it can detect bone cancer after the skill is upgraded to Minor Achievement.
Now, at Great Success Level, not only is judgment of the above bone characteristics more accurate during bone touching to reduce misjudgment, but it also possesses the capability to analyze bone injuries, examine bone age, healing status, and nutritional status.
When diagnosing patients, doctors can easily determine a patient’s nutritional status based on skin color, appearance, body frailty, and hair condition.
Li Jingsheng now possesses such a ability.
With just one glance, he can roughly infer whether a patient is in a malnourished state.
However, human bones are inside the body, invisible to the naked eye.
As for feeling bones by hand, it’s all the same if you don’t know which bone to touch, just hard and tough.
But professional orthopedic doctors, with bone touching, can grasp a portion of the bone information invisible to the naked eye.
For instance, serious bone erosion or obvious depression, these bone characteristics.
Experts like Li Jingsheng, who have studied the Bone Touching Skill, are even more remarkable.
By touching, they can sense most bone information that typically requires specialized imaging examinations.
Now, with his Bone Touching Skill at Great Success, this capability is further enhanced with a qualitative breakthrough.
Capable of deep bone injury analysis, sensing bone nutrition status, simply put, he can diagnose if any particular bone in the patient has poor blood supply or other chronic hidden conditions with just a touch.
Although the patient didn’t speak, his brow furrowed due to the pain caused by Li Jingsheng’s bone touching.
His face already showed a hint of displeasure.
After upgrading his Bone Touching Skill, Li Jingsheng, as if addicted, held the patient’s left wrist and continued touching repeatedly.
He continuously touched and pressed around the wrist joint area.
"Come, let me see your right hand!"
He discovered some very special bone characteristics information but needed to compare it with the patient’s right wrist for further analysis.
"My right hand is fine."
The patient’s tone already carried a hint of displeasure and coldness.
"You don’t understand, do you? Dr. Li certainly found an issue and needs to compare it with your healthy right wrist bone. The wrist joint is the most complex human joint. Your condition wasn’t solved with surgery and bone grafting last time, indicating inherent high difficulty. Dr. Li has made some discoveries now, which is a good thing, so you need to cooperate well with our doctor."
Ruan Xiaoqin cooperated from the side.
Sometimes, a doctor like this is truly needed.
Perhaps his medical skills are a bit lackluster, but he’s very adept at dealing with family members and patients.
Upon hearing this, the patient obediently extended his right hand, his previously tense expression becoming more amicable.
