Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic

Basically, all patients have this mindset towards medical techniques they have not encountered before.

At first, there is definitely skepticism.

Only after experiencing it firsthand and witnessing good results will they truly believe in it.

"You flatter me! It’s just some minor techniques not worth mentioning."

Li Jingsheng spoke modestly, but in his heart, he was quite pleased.

No matter how indifferent an old professor is, they must eventually bow to reality, right?

Facts are truth, which surpasses all arguments.

"Haha, Professor Di hadn’t had much exposure to this kind of technique before, so he didn’t quite understand it! The technique of bone setting is quite remarkable, truly relieving many patients from pain without surgery. Helping them to regain their health. In the future, when you have the chance, you can have more exchanges with Dr. Li to gain a deeper understanding of bone setting techniques."

Director Hua took this opportunity to pave the way for Li Jingsheng to become a teaching assistant.

The term "teaching assistant" literally means assisting a professor or associate professor.

Becoming a teaching assistant is not too difficult, as long as the professor is willing, the academy’s review is without issues, and the person’s qualifications are met.

In the field of bone setting, there are not many professors whose specialty aligns with this area.

The Second Hospital’s orthopedic department has several professors and associate professors, but none are suitable to recruit Li Jingsheng.

Otherwise, it would have a significantly adverse effect on Li Jingsheng’s future promotion to associate professor or professor.

Additionally, the higher-ups of the Second Hospital also want to use this opportunity to pave a broader and brighter path for Li Jingsheng.

So that in the future, Li Jingsheng can establish a bone setting discipline at Medical University.

That would be fantastic.

Not only would it revitalize traditional Chinese medicine, gaining the goodwill and covert support of many traditional Chinese medicine bigshots, but it would also make him a discipline leader, or even the founder.

This is much more prestigious than being an ordinary professor.

They put in a lot of effort to nurture Li Jingsheng.

After all, Li Jingsheng conducts himself well, is upright, and has won the hearts of these hospital leaders.

"Dr. Li, when I recover, I really want to learn more from you! You can’t refuse an old man’s request!"

With great hope in healing his right hand, Professor Di completely abandoned his thoughts of dying.

Now, not only does he not want to die, but he also wants to advance further in his lifelong research on skeletal structure.

This experience with bone setting made him realize that his previous research on skeletal structure was too one-sided.

Very superficial.

To make improvements in academic research, practical experience is definitely needed.

This requires help from Li Jingsheng.

"As long as I have time, I am more than happy to contribute what I can to our country’s medical research. Feel free to come to me, I am happy to share whatever I know."

Li Jingsheng nodded with a smile.

At this point, he knew that the matter of being a teaching assistant was practically settled.

However, his treatment of the patient was not yet finished.

He gives his all in treating every patient.

"By the way, your injury has been there for quite some time, and with improper handling, there is significant hematoma and congestion. If you can tolerate moderate pain, I can give you a massage to speed up healing and reduce the likelihood of thrombosis."

Li Jingsheng said to Professor Di.

"I can completely tolerate it, feel free to proceed. Compared to the hellish torture of the past few days, the pain from your bone setting and repositioning was really nothing."

Having tasted the sweetness, Professor Di was no longer afraid of pain!

If he had known how effective Li Jingsheng’s bone setting technique was, his prejudice wouldn’t have caused him so much suffering.

After Li Jingsheng massaged him, the hematoma had somewhat reduced.

However, complete resolution requires time.

In the absence of blood stasis and qi blockage, it can generally subside in about a day.

His massage of Professor Di’s right wrist was also for better, more precise external fixation.

Imagine putting a cast over a highly swollen area, which becomes loose after a few days once the swelling goes down. The effectiveness of the external fixation naturally diminishes.

Therefore, taking these factors into account, he decided against using a cast for Professor Di’s right wrist.

Instead, he opted for a splint.

The fixation method was extremely clever; even after the swelling subsides, it won’t affect the fixation outcome.

"Okay, your wrist has been treated. Recovery for such an injury will take at least two months before you can start using some functions of your right hand again. When you come for a follow-up, I will teach you some rehabilitation exercises."

Li Jingsheng healed his right hand, allowing Professor Di to climb out from the abyss of despair.

Both hands are extremely important to him.

Having two healthy hands allows one to perform basic self-care.

Basic life needs such as eating, dressing, bathing, and even wheeling oneself to campus to teach are all possible.

"Now, let me address the issue with your hip joint."

What Li Jingsheng said sounded like heavenly music to the ears of the family and Professor Di.

It brought them endless hope.

Indeed, Li Jingsheng did not disappoint them; after much effort, he successfully repositioned the dislocated hip joint and the fracture. Once the external fixation was in place, he prescribed medication.

Since this old gentleman’s status was quite special and related to Li Jingsheng’s assistant position,

Director Hua had him stay for inpatient treatment.

If the injury was sustained on campus, it should be considered a work-related injury, and the college should bear all treatment costs.

Therefore, the family and patient naturally would not refuse better treatment.

As Li Jingsheng left, Professor Di repeatedly thanked him.

The old lady even escorted him out of the ward, her gratitude palpable.

If not for Li Jingsheng’s miraculous skills, their seemingly well-off, highly educated family would have been shattered and plunged into the abyss of suffering.

After leaving the hospital, his mood was quite good.

He had taken a significant step forward in life.

This transformation was a result of his substantial strength.

To strike iron, one’s own strength must be strong. It seems he must find ways to further enhance his capabilities in the future.
