Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic

For example, ask the anesthesiologist to prepare for tracheal intubation in advance.

According to standard procedure, a request for tracheal intubation is generally only made when the patient’s condition further deteriorates.

"Wuwu..."

The patient’s wife was lying on the table, crying bitterly.

The other two female family members were also crying mournfully.

Li Jingsheng greeted Director Shang and two leaders from the supervisory department, then walked out.

He felt quite sympathetic towards the deceased’s family, but adults must take responsibility for their actions.

The family should have considered the consequences when forcing a transfer to another hospital.

During lunch, he talked to Ou Qinglan about this matter, feeling quite regretful.

However, there was absolutely no way to stop the family from insisting on the transfer.

Otherwise, if the patient were to die in the Second Hospital, who would take the responsibility?

After lunch, he returned to the orthopedic doctor’s office with Ou Qinglan.

When he walked in, five young doctors stood up simultaneously.

All were new faces; Li Jingsheng didn’t recognize any of them.

"This is Dr. Li from our orthopedic manual bone-setting clinic, the teacher you all are waiting for."

Qin Fei introduced him to the five.

As the chief resident of orthopedics, these new doctors basically reported to him.

"Hello, Teacher Li!"

"The teacher is so young!"

"Please guide us well in the future, Teacher Li!"

Among the five young doctors, there were actually two female doctors.

They were not petite; all were over 1.6 meters tall and did not look frail. However, manual bone setting requires physical strength, which is more suitable for males.

"Don’t be so formal, please sit down!"

Li Jingsheng felt quite intrigued being a teacher to so many medical students for the first time.

Also slightly pressured.

"The teacher’s girlfriend is so pretty! We’ve heard that Teacher Li has a particularly beautiful girlfriend, and this time we get to see her for real!"

The fair-skinned, short-haired female doctor, dressed tomboyishly, was the most active.

"You can just call me Dr. Ou!"

Ou Qinglan, facing many new colleagues, felt a little shy.

"Ou Qinglan, Dr. Ou, specializes in bone trauma and is my girlfriend. I hope you will respect her as you respect me."

Li Jingsheng said to the five.

"No problem!"

"Of course! Who would dare disrespect the teacher’s partner?"

"Teacher, when can we perform bone setting on injured patients? I’ve been practicing on teaching models for a long time and am eager to test my skills."

These rookies reminded him of when he first started.

Always thinking they’ve learned a lot and are strong enough to cure patients with ease.

Yet during internships, even cleaning a patient’s skin could lead to multiple scoldings.

Not to mention inserting needles.

Li Jingsheng still remembers encountering an overweight patient on his first needle insertion attempt. After three tries with no blood seen, he was sweating profusely, until the nurse beside him stepped in to help.

Nowadays, while his needle technique isn’t exceptionally superior, at least he’s accurate every time.

With patients having slightly thicker arm veins, he can even perform flying needle techniques.

However, new doctors generally shouldn’t attempt such flair.

The angle and force of the flying needle must be well controlled.

Otherwise, piercing through the patient’s vein would be disastrous.

"Opportunities to practice will come sooner or later, so don’t rush. For today, I’ll teach you some basic manual bone-setting knowledge."

Li Jingsheng canceled his plan for a noon break after taking on five new students.

Took them directly to the manual clinic.

All five appeared quite excited.

"Which school did you graduate from?"

"We are clinical students from Jiangli City Medical University. The Second Hospital was recruiting and we heard there was an opportunity to learn manual bone setting under you, so we eagerly signed up. Luckily, after several rounds of selection, the Second Hospital chose us."

He didn’t expect these were all students from Jiangli City Medical University.

Looks like the Second Hospital seized the opportunity during the skills competition, possibly reaching some collaboration with Jiangli City Medical University.

A few days ago, Director Hua had asked for Li Jingsheng’s personal information, photo, and copies of his graduation certificate, saying it was to apply for a teaching position at a medical school.

Turns out he’s connected with the city’s medical university!

It’s said that Jiangli City Medical University has extremely high standards for hiring teachers. It’s difficult to get in as an assistant, let alone a full professor.

Director Hua and Dean Fu probably know Li Jingsheng is extremely busy and wouldn’t be able to teach long classes at the university.

By directly transferring five students over, they must have reached a strategic partnership with the medical university.

For someone of Li Jingsheng’s special talent, the medical university is surely willing to open some doors and offer special treatment.

Actually, it’s not just the medical university; almost all renowned universities domestically and overseas have similar methods to attract talent and expand their influence. For example, visiting professors, lifelong honorary presidents, permanent professors, etc.

The Second Hospital’s aim is clear—to elevate Li Jingsheng, becoming stronger.

At the very least, he must be impressive enough!

At the skills competition, despite Li Jingsheng winning two gold medals, his personal introduction only listed him as a doctor at the Second Hospital.

He barely had any impressive titles.

Titles like Associate Chief Physician, Chief Physician, Associate Professor are high-ranking and notable.

Unfortunately, he currently holds none of these.

To advance to Associate Chief Physician, he still has to wait several more years.

Moreover, achieving an associate senior title isn’t that easy; personal skills must be nearly sufficient, with hospital support to make it happen easily.

He brought the five to the manual repositioning clinic.

Dr. Chen and Li Li were stunned to see Li Jingsheng arriving with a large group.

"These five are the medical students learning manual bone setting with me. This is Dr. Chen, my assistant, and this is Nurse Li Li from our manual repositioning clinic."

Li Jingsheng introduced both sides.

"I’m Ye Hui, nice to meet you both, and please take care of me."

The tomboyish one was the most active again.

For doctors, a cheerful personality is a good thing, but shouldn’t be overly active.

One should be steady and serious when necessary.

And should mind their words.

Since it was the first day with these students, Li Jingsheng didn’t say much.

"I don’t have many requirements for us, but there are a few rules to abide by. First, try to talk less; write down any questions and organize them before asking after work or when I’m not busy.

Second, operating on patients requires great caution. Without approval from a senior doctor, never act on your own. If anyone tries to play hero and performs treatment on a patient without permission, I will have to expel them.

The last rule: observe and learn, and feel free to discuss and exchange ideas."

These essentially set a boundary for the five.

The manual repositioning clinic isn’t like the inpatient department or operating room, as many treatments are non-invasive, inevitably leading some bold medical students to let down their guard. Thinking these aren’t dangerous procedures, and if things go wrong, the teacher will clean up the mess.

In practice, all clinical operations carry risks.

The risk of manual bone setting is equivalent to surgical risk; there is no such thing as low risk.
