Chapter 418: Chapter 206: Great Success Level Bone Assessment, Miraculous_2

This is simply because the patient lacks understanding.

With Li Jingsheng’s current expertise, it is an immense fortune for a bone injury patient to be examined by his Bone Touching Skill.

His current proficiency in Bone Touching Skill likely matches that of Doctor Xu.

In the entire Second Hospital, perhaps even the whole of Lijiang City, there are only these two experts in Bone Touching Skill.

Associate Director level is not some common standard.

Whether in diagnosis, prescription, or surgery, reaching the level of an Associate Director is enough to make someone an extraordinary presence in the hospital.

One already has the ability to lead a team in surgery or independently manage an outpatient department.

Or to maneuver in the inpatient department, tackling all diagnosed diseases.

The diagnostic skills of many major internal medicine experts might be somewhat lacking, but their prescription skills are extremely high. Such doctors, if appointed by a wise head of department, would be assigned to oversee the inpatient department.

They are specifically tasked with supervising the medical orders given to young doctors, and all severe or difficult-to-treat conditions that have been clearly diagnosed are managed by these deputy director-level experts with exceptional prescription skills.

This often enables that department to achieve exceptionally high cure and discharge rates.

Diagnosis and prescription are the two major weapons for combating diseases.

They complement and are indispensable to each other.

However, no person is perfect, and doctors are the same. Some are talented in prescriptions, others in diagnosis. The best method is close collaboration.

Li Jingsheng examined the patient’s right hand, then proceeded to examine the left.

Fortunately, this patient is male. If it were a young female patient, I would truly worry about her boyfriend punching Li Jingsheng in the face.

"This bone injury of yours is unusual!"

Li Jingsheng frowned.

"Did you sustain an injury before? At least over ten years ago."

His Bone Touching Skill has reached the Great Success Level, and he can analyze bone injuries through the touch of the bone structure.

The patient’s scaphoid bone and surrounding bones of the left wrist feel peculiar under his touch.

At first, he found it odd.

After his Bone Touching Skill advanced to the Great Success Level, by repeatedly examining the bones and comparing with the patient’s normal right wrist, he suddenly realized.

Those slightly roughened or slightly protruding bone ends couldn’t possibly be results of bone injury healing within a year.

Instead, they are at least over three-year-old chronic bone injuries, with a strangely healed bone surface.

He further compared them to other chronic bone injuries he had examined recently, ultimately estimating that the patient’s bone injury is at least over ten years old.

"This is amazing, absolutely amazing, I never expected you would detect it! Dr. Ruan just mentioned you’re an expert, and I didn’t believe it at all because you’re too young. Now I believe it. Please have a seat, please sit down!"

The patient looked at Li Jingsheng with eyes full of disbelief and astonishment.

Then he promptly stood up to offer his seat.

He had a complete change of attitude towards Li Jingsheng.

It was only at this moment that he realized how incredible this young doctor was.

Just by feeling his wrist bone, he was able to ascertain an injury from ten years ago.

"You, your wrist bone was injured before, why didn’t you tell us upon admission?"

Ruan Xiaoqin was shocked by Li Jingsheng’s powerful skills, yet also angry that the patient had hidden such crucial medical history information.

Doctors put in all efforts to cure patients.

Yet the patient doesn’t tell the doctor the truth.

"Uh... it’s just been so long, I honestly forgot. I was only about fifteen at the time, right after starting eighth grade, when I fell and got hurt during a school track meet. My left wrist was injured back then too and couldn’t be used for a long time. My family was poor at that time, so I wasn’t treated and it just healed after more than half a year."

The patient quickly explained.

The patient is now twenty-seven, and was fifteen when his left wrist was injured, so it’s been eleven or twelve years now.

"Dr. Li, what do you think we should do now?"

Ruan Xiaoqin had no confidence in dealing with such a high-level case.

She wasn’t even sure where to start.

Li Jingsheng had actually managed to diagnose a bone injury from over ten years ago, and this left Ruan Xiaoqin in awe.

She had no choice but to admit it!

Age doesn’t equate to skill.

Her seniority was higher than Li Jingsheng’s, and her title was higher too, but in terms of diagnostic ability, she had to admit there was a "slight" gap between them.

It’s like a man telling a woman during a blind date, his income last month was just below ten thousand.

How much below?

The woman asked.

The man lowered his head and whispered, seven thousand short.

Then the woman picked up a water glass and threw its contents in the man’s face, storming out without a backward glance.

Ruan Xiaoqin thinks the skill gap between her and Li Jingsheng is just a "slight" one.

At least that’s what she believes.

"Let’s discuss this in the office."

Li Jingsheng naturally wouldn’t discuss the treatment plan in front of the patient.

Since this patient’s bone injury is extremely complex, it’s far more complicated than just being a chronic injury.

Back in the office, Ou Qinglan and several other doctors looked at Ruan Xiaoqin and Li Jingsheng.

"How is it? Have you found anything?"

Ou Qinglan inquired of Li Jingsheng.

"There are some findings. But to treat this patient, I’m afraid we’ll need to discuss with several of the department’s chief physicians," Li Jingsheng said, slightly frowning.

His ability in orthopedic diagnosis is currently at the proficient level, which is admittedly somewhat weak. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

After all, proficient level is equivalent to a senior resident physician’s skill level.

His actual medical ability has now reached that of a senior attending physician.

He is now starting to progress towards an associate senior level.
