Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 92: Stubborn Skin Disease

As soon as Doctor Xu left, the atmosphere in the office noticeably relaxed.

A young male doctor came over to chat with Li Jingsheng.

"Buddy, you’re impressive! Getting Doctor Xu to agree to teach you. I bet in no time, our department head will want to recruit you specially into the hospital!"

"I wouldn’t dare have such wishes. It’s not easy to get into a top-tier hospital like this one. Just learning some basic bone setting techniques from Doctor Xu would be satisfying enough!" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Li Jingsheng smiled humbly with a hint of modesty.

With his extraordinary attribute panel, even the second hospital wanted him, but he wasn’t willing to join.

He just wanted to learn more bone setting techniques now, so he could stand out independently in the future and make it a major competitive advantage for Sunshine Clinic.

Of course, he had to be polite when speaking.

"Why wouldn’t you dare to have such wishes? I mean, just based on your exceptional talent, our director has already taken notice of you. When I learned shoulder joint bone setting, it took me more than two months, plus another three months of practice with props to pass the basic assessment. You learned it in less than an hour and operated so skillfully, it was truly astonishing."

Another young doctor gathered around.

The doctors sitting in the office were mostly inpatient care doctors.

Each of them was quite young.

"Haha, I learned it by chance too. Did Doctor Xu dislocate your shoulders when you were learning bone setting techniques?"

Li Jingsheng laughed it off, never mentioning the attribute panel.

"Are you kidding? Only you would volunteer to learn from Xu Feng... Doctor. We all learned from other doctors. I would never agree to have my shoulder dislocated by him."

The two young doctors mentioned learning medicine from Doctor Xu with a look of fear.

"Is Doctor Xu’s bone setting technique impressive?"

Li Jingsheng took the opportunity to ask.

"Of course it’s impressive! Didn’t you see him dislocating your arm like it was child’s play? Out of all the doctors in our department, he’s the only one who can do it. Plus, he’s cured many patients with fractures that otherwise would have required surgery. But he has a peculiar temperament, not easy to deal with."

Mentioning Doctor Xu’s bone setting skills brought a lot of praise from this doctor.

Hearing about Doctor Xu’s impressive skills in bone setting, Li Jingsheng couldn’t help feeling secretly delighted.

If he frequently came over, he’d likely learn a lot of these techniques.

"Buddy, I’m not trying to be a buzzkill, Doctor Xu’s skills are indeed great, but he never teaches us advanced bone setting techniques. I estimate he’ll teach you only basic techniques at best."

The first young doctor who spoke to Li Jingsheng seemed to have seen through his thoughts and advised him with great certainty.

"No worries, I’ve got thick skin. I’m not afraid of him not teaching; I’m just worried that even if he does, I might not learn. I need to get back to the clinic and work, so I’m leaving now! Goodbye, teachers!"

Li Jingsheng waved to the two of them, his gaze unintentionally sweeping over Ou Qinglan not far away, their eyes meeting with a slightly smug smile from Li Jingsheng.

This made her clench her fists, her delicate nose slightly scrunched.

She hadn’t greeted Li Jingsheng from the start, clearly not wanting others to know about her relationship with him.

Understandable.

Girls usually cherish their reputation.

She and Li Jingsheng were just ordinary friends and definitely didn’t want colleagues to misunderstand. If she and Li Jingsheng eventually became lovers, that would be fine.

If they never reached that point, what would colleagues think of her?

They might think she’s an easy girl.

...

Li Jingsheng returned to Sunshine Clinic, where several customers were buying medicine or waiting for his diagnosis.

"Boss, those two patients over there want to see you for consultation. They’ve been waiting for a while."

Tang Ping was busy, her face flushed, slightly sweaty, with her hair sticking to her smooth forehead.

"Alright!"

Li Jingsheng quickly put on his white coat and attended to the two patients, conducting consultations one by one.

They didn’t have any major issues. One had a cold with a slight fever, headache, loss of appetite, but no sweating.

After a detailed diagnosis, Li Jingsheng prescribed two boxes of medication.

He advised the patient to rest more after taking the medication and avoid intense exercise. If there’s still no sweating after taking the medicine and symptoms don’t improve, they should visit a major hospital promptly.

The common cold and fever may seem minor, but they claim up to eighty to ninety thousand lives each year.

That’s just in our country.

If it’s an epidemic flu in some superpower, the mortality rate would be even higher.

A cold that doesn’t produce sweating is something to be cautious about.

Based on Li Jingsheng’s clinical experience, if such patients don’t receive proper and timely treatment, they quickly progress to serious conditions. For instance, high fever convulsions and multiple organ failure are the most common.

He never neglects small ailments with patients due to their minor nature.

Because one mistake could very well be a life lost.

After dealing with the cold patient, he called the next patient to sit by the consultation desk.

"Sorry to keep you waiting! You mainly have an itchy red rash on your hand, right?"

Li Jingsheng’s little clinic occasionally received patients with skin diseases.

He could manage common skin diseases, but had no power against stubborn skin diseases.

Although skin diseases don’t appear serious, their difficulty in treatment and the extent of suffering they cause to patients far exceed the imagination.

The most common ones include conditions like psoriasis and eczema, and rare fatal illnesses like lupus and malignant skin tumors.

"Yes, there’s a large itchy rash right here. It started as a small red bump that was very itchy. I scratched it, and in less than a week, it expanded two to three times its size."
