Chapter 623 - 286: Victory or Defeat in a Single Cut, Neuropathy (Part 3)
He performed a tumor surgery, some costing as high as twenty to thirty thousand.
Other general surgery doctors might charge a few hundred, one or two thousand for a minor procedure.
The highest charges might be five to six thousand at most.
One of his surgeries could earn as much as dozens done by others.
And as he gradually gained fame, more patients sought him for tumor removals. Among them were those who didn’t mind the expense.
Therefore, he thrived well at the First Hospital.
Gradually, he recruited a few medical assistants and nurses willing to work hard with him, forming a stable surgical team.
Which is now the very famous Yin Shixian team at First Hospital.
When Li Jingsheng worked at First Hospital, he dreamed of joining this team.
Unfortunately, Deputy Director Yin Shixian didn’t consider him.
To select medical assistants, they had to be those with strong surgical skills or good talent.
In today’s competition, the Deputy Director Yin Shixian didn’t participate.
He might be too busy to spare the time since patients lined up for his surgeries.
Or perhaps his surgical speed is too slow, not suitable for such competitions.
One couldn’t possibly make thousands wait for him to perform surgery slowly, right?
If Deputy Director Yin Shixian were here, he might remember Li Jingsheng.
Back then, Li Jingsheng even tried to gift him, hoping to join his surgical team. He was ruthlessly rejected.
Nowadays, even if Deputy Director Yin asked him to join, he wouldn’t agree.
"Yeah! Second place, we actually got second place overall."
The nurse girls are always so lively and adorable.
Both surgical nurses were very excited.
"Haha, to have won the silver award, it was indeed unexpected! The affairs of the world, truly wondrous!"
Director Chen Anchen was so happy that he got sentimental.
Deputy Director Hu Jia also smiled.
He seemed busy chatting with someone on his phone, a faint warmth on his face, clearly not chatting with friends or classmates.
Li Jingsheng casually glanced over.
He immediately admired Deputy Director Hu Jia’s character greatly.
He was chatting with his wife, likely sharing the good news firsthand.
Behind every successful man is a devoted and supportive good wife.
Li Jingsheng, after winning, didn’t immediately share the news with Ou Qinglan, and instead waited until dinner time to tell her.
This was something he should reflect upon.
"Let’s go, let’s go up together to receive the award!"
Chen Anchen said spiritedly to Li Jingsheng and the others.
The other winning teams also went up together to get their awards.
Li Jingsheng didn’t initially want to go on stage but didn’t want to spoil Chen Anchen’s mood.
So he followed them up.
Many people had a deep impression of him, and seeing him go up elicited various reactions.
Some admired, some envied, some felt jealous, and some discontented.
Because Li Jingsheng won awards too frequently.
No other doctor played like this.
The most they would do is participate in two competition categories.
Li Jingsheng had participated in multiple categories and won awards each time.
What kind of phenomenon is this!
He himself remained unusually low-key, merely going through the motions at the back.
This award didn’t just belong to Chen Anchen but the entire team.
So every team member should feel the same sense of honor.
"Dr. Li, didn’t expect us to have the chance to stand on the award stage together again!" Dean Jiang Yue said, smiling warmly as he conversed energetically.
"Haha, this illustrates my deep connection with Dean Jiang and further proves the strength of Jiang’s Orthopedic Hospital. Congratulations to Dean Jiang for winning another silver award."
Li Jingsheng replied with a smile.
The strength of Jiang’s Orthopedic Hospital is indeed not overrated.
In the fiercely competitive bone trauma diagnosis contest, they won another noteworthy award.
Only two hospitals won the silver award this time, the Second Hospital’s Chen Anchen team and Jiang’s Orthopedic Hospital’s Jiang Qike team.
Three hospitals won bronze, including Medical University Affiliated Hospital.
After the awards, the bone disease and joint-related competitions commenced promptly.
Li Jingsheng, being able and industrious, once again assisted Director Zhong Hu.
"Just now we witnessed a spectacular bone trauma surgery competition that brought out many outstanding surgical teams. As the saying goes, one flower alone does not represent spring; a hundred flowers blooming fills the garden with spring. The vigorous development of national orthopedic medicine relies on the selfless sharing and dedication of every doctor.
The next contest involves bone disease and joint surgery.
Bone disease primarily involves answering questions, whereas joints involve surgeries.
Doctors from each hospital can unite their team’s wisdom and strengths to answer questions and perform surgeries together. The final rankings are based on the overall score."
As the host finished speaking, various patient information appeared on the big screen.
Patient, male, 27 years old, auto mechanic.
One day at work, he suddenly felt severe pain in his left upper arm, initially thinking it was a work-related sprain. After two days of rest, the condition worsened.
Especially at night, the pain became unbearable, preventing him from sleeping.
Three days later, he found he couldn’t straighten his wrist and his fingers couldn’t straighten either, with the thumb only maintaining a naturally bent position.
He took medication from the local clinic for ten days, and the pain subsided.
However, he still couldn’t straighten his left wrist and fingers.
Hospital examination revealed complete paralysis of the radial nerve distribution muscles below the brachioradialis of the left limb. Sensory function in the thenar region was normal, and muscle power in other nerve distribution regions of the left upper limb was normal.
The patient also underwent cervical MRI examination, showing no abnormalities.
The patient’s electromyography showed electrical silence in radial nerve distribution muscles.
Li Jingsheng is very familiar with the competition rules; this question focuses on the diagnosis of etiology.
Director Zhong Hu already started diagnosing, occasionally writing things on a tablet.
As an assistant, Li Jingsheng also had the qualification to answer questions.
Etiological diagnosis is his strong suit.
The patient’s initial symptoms seemed quite like radial nerve palsy.
This disease usually occurs naturally without any triggers.
The treatment plan involves taking Mecobalamin.
But after careful analysis, Li Jingsheng noticed some suspicions.
It felt somewhat like radial tunnel syndrome.
