Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic

"Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you. After this incident, I wouldn’t dare go back to work."

She nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Li Jingsheng helped her out of the treatment room, and outside, her husband watched his wife being able to walk normally, his heart filled with joy.

The worry in his heart was finally relieved.

This trip turned out to be the right decision.

Such severe illness, yet Dr. Li managed to treat it on the spot.

"Thank you, Dr. Li! Thank you! You’ve been a great help to our family! I want to kneel down and thank you!"

The husband, as he spoke, was about to kneel on the ground in gratitude.

"Brother, don’t do this, don’t do this! Treating patients and saving lives is what I should do; it’s my job."

Li Jingsheng quickly signaled the trainees behind him to help the family member up.

At this moment, Dr. Chen returned.

He handed over a receipt to Li Jingsheng.

"Here is the receipt for the two hundred yuan you gave me. If I hadn’t accepted the money then, you wouldn’t have felt secure. Now that the treatment is completed, you don’t have to worry that I won’t try my best because I didn’t charge you. I asked Dr. Chen to deposit these two hundred yuan into your prepayment account. When you go to settle the bill at the window later, any surplus will be refunded directly to you."

Li Jingsheng handed the receipt to the family member.

The moved family member held his hand tightly and said with a trembling voice, "Good doctor, you are the best doctor I’ve ever met! And that Professor Zhong is also a good doctor; if it weren’t for his introduction, I wouldn’t have known that this disease should be treated by you."

"Doctors all over the world, at least most of them, are good. I’ll prescribe some medicine for your wife; you can get the medicine from the pharmacy and follow the medical advice. The lumbar support cannot be removed; it needs to be worn continuously. You can come back for a follow-up in six weeks. Then we will teach you some rehabilitation training methods."

Li Jingsheng gave them some necessary reminders and explanations.

He also provided a vivid lesson to the five new trainees.

Teaching them how to interact with patients and their family members, and how to practice medicine.

Li Jingsheng wouldn’t dare say his approach is absolutely correct, but at least, he believes his actions are worthy of the white coat he wears.

"You five can now answer my question. When examining the patient, did you notice anything else?"

After seeing off the patient and family member, Li Jingsheng turned to the five new trainees.

"Dr. Li, can I join in too? I’m one of your trainees!"

Dr. Chen asked with a cheeky smile.

"No problem, you answer last."

Li Jingsheng couldn’t be sure if Dr. Chen had noticed anything.

"I found the patient’s vertebrae are thicker than those of ordinary people!"

Tang Xianyue’s answer made Li Jingsheng want to hit the wall.

"I felt the right side of the patient’s lumbar spine had a slight depression; I’m not sure if that counts?"

Yang Luqing, looking tall and strong, typical of a Northeastern man, unexpectedly had a keen eye.

Li Jingsheng remained expressionless.

Gao Yang occasionally glanced at Li Jingsheng, looking for a correct answer through his expressions.

Unfortunately, he failed.

Teacher Li is the king who fought his way out of the extremely complex Old Street of South City. Gao Yang, a medical student who hasn’t graduated yet, hoping to find answers through his facial expressions, is wishful thinking.

"I think the fifth and sixth lumbar vertebrae of the patient are noticeably different from the other parts."

Another ridiculous answer.

"I felt the patient’s vertebrae seemed to have tiny cracks!"

Gao Yang couldn’t find an answer from the previous three and made one up himself.

This guy seems quite scheming.

Can a novice detect cracks in the patient’s lumbar vertebrae?

Li Jingsheng’s talent for palpating bones is so strong that he could only detect obvious fractures after reaching a proficient level.

Moreover, although the patient’s annulus fibrosus is ruptured, it’s impossible to detect by touch.

At least one must reach the level of Li Jingsheng to even barely detect it.

Gao Yang didn’t know that his self-righteousness had earned him a major penalty from Li Jingsheng.

He probably won’t be seen in the manual repositioning outpatient clinic again tomorrow.

"Ye Hui, what’s your answer?"

Li Jingsheng looked at this tomboy who loves to beat others to the punch.

She furrowed her brows, deep in thought this time.

"When I was palpating, I felt a slight depression on the patient’s right side. Initially, I didn’t figure it out; later, through comparison, I thought it might be due to muscle atrophy in that area, which is one of the key reasons for her lumbar disc herniation this time."

Ye Hui answered.

"Dr. Chen, what’s your answer?"

"I-I also only detected a lower area in the soft tissue on the right side of the patient’s lumbar spine. I actually hadn’t thought of muscle atrophy."

Dr. Chen, having been with Li Jingsheng for some time, knew exactly what he disliked.

He didn’t dare to play any schemes in front of Li Jingsheng.

So he chose to answer honestly.

"Hmm, everyone gave an answer, which shows you thought about it. Not bad. Ye Hui, stay a bit longer after work today!"

Li Jingsheng didn’t say who got it right.

He just asked Ye Hui to stay.

"Being pretty does give you an advantage! Ye Hui, congratulations!"

Gao Yang said sourly.

Ye Hui’s appearance isn’t bad, but calling her pretty is just average.

If grading, Li Jingsheng would give her an eighty at most.

So far, he hasn’t found any young woman prettier than Ou Qinglan.

Maybe he has a unique aesthetic.

This Ye Hui, praised by Gao Yang as pretty, would probably be only slightly prettier than two receptionist girls at Sunshine Clinic.
