Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic
Chapter 425 - 208: Aura Reversal, A Sharp Tongue Is Trouble (Part 3)
Fate is something that sometimes, once lost, is missed for a lifetime.
If Dr. Qin is smart, he can shift his target and make advances towards other unmarried female doctors or nurses.
He can’t quite understand why this Li Jingsheng, clearly just a clinic doctor, could be so formidable.
And it’s not just one aspect, but in all aspects.
Facing such an opponent really makes one feel hopeless.
"Now let’s talk about my proposed surgical plan. I’m thinking of transplanting a free condyle flap from the medial femur. I wonder if this could work?"
Li Jingsheng presented his surgical perspective.
His reserve of orthopedic surgery knowledge was still a bit lacking, and as he proposed this surgical plan, sweat was forming in his palms.
His previous performance was very good, and he must not fail at this final crucial moment.
"Taking the condyle flap from the medial femur for transplantation is fine, there’s precedent. How do you plan to deal with the radius?"
Chen Anchen, the director, asked him.
In such settings, the relatively weaker Professor Wu seemed entirely unable to join the conversation.
Because saying more often means more mistakes, especially in front of so many junior doctors and students; if something embarrassing happens, where would he put his old face?
"I plan to resect the radial styloid, as the X-ray shows its edge is extremely sharp. When I applied the Bone Touching Skill, just touching it made the patient scream in pain."
Not removing the radial styloid is definitely not an option.
Any pain will severely impact the patient’s wrist movement function.
"What do you all think of his surgical plan? I think it’s quite good, at least worth a try." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Chen Anchen sought the opinions of other directors.
"Old Chen, you’re the expert in bone trauma and have rich surgical experience. Since you nodded, we naturally have no objections."
"Indeed, indeed."
"I think letting Old Chen lead Xiaoli to perform this surgery is fitting."
Other directors also had their personal calculations.
Everyone knows this patient is a troublesome case of failed bone graft surgery at the First Hospital, and no one wants to touch it.
"This patient is Director Wu’s responsibility; it doesn’t fall to me. Just providing some personal advice, for reference only."
Chen Anchen also does not wish to get involved in a big trouble.
Having these chief physicians help with the consultation and brainstorming is no problem.
But when it involves interests, everyone certainly shows their selfish side.
"If I’m responsible, so be it. This is an opportunity to get famous; I’m offering it to you all, don’t regret it later."
Professor Wu is actually quite clever.
He was listening attentively just now, and he was earnestly considering this patient’s treatment plan.
After serious consideration, he found that Li Jingsheng’s proposed surgical plan is feasible.
Even Chen Anchen thinks it’s feasible, giving him more confidence.
Although Professor Wu has been promoted to full professor and group leader, forming his own medical team, he has always held a relatively low status in the department, let alone in the hospital.
He is eager to change this situation.
The current case carries high risk, but if truly cured, it will undoubtedly greatly boost his recognition.
"Since a feasible surgical plan has been discussed, let Old Wu oversee it, and let Li Jingsheng handle the main diagnosis and treatment, with Dr. Ruan Xiaoqin assisting."
Director Hua directly set the tone, allocating the tasks.
"I have no problem with that."
Professor Wu happily agreed.
"I’m very willing to be Dr. Li’s assistant."
Ruan Xiaoqin was straightforward, her flattery is always so pleasing.
"Professor Wu, Dr. Ruan, should I come find you after work, or how else should it be done?"
Li Jingsheng still has a lot of things to deal with at the clinic, and he’ll definitely need to work a full day there tomorrow. The new premises’ renovation also requires timely supervision.
Fortunately, these days mostly involve basic work like whitewashing, installing the main entrance, and changing doors and windows.
This patient’s surgery is not considered major, should be able to add a shift tonight and perform it directly.
"Let’s settle on that."
Professor Wu nodded in agreement.
After the meeting adjourned, Li Jingsheng and Doctor Xu, Dr. Chen hurried to the manual repositioning clinic.
"Dr. Li, you were really impressive just now. I used to feel a bit... unable to hold my head up while working in the manual repositioning clinic." Dr. Chen secretly glanced at Doctor Xu, who was walking ahead.
"Today, you publicly demonstrated the magic of Bone Touching Skill; you haven’t seen the shocked expressions of those directors and associate chief physicians. I think our manual repositioning clinic’s status in the department will certainly rise a lot in the future."
Dr. Chen said excitedly.
"Just focus on doing your own thing; why care so much about others’ opinions?"
Doctor Xu turned his head to reprimand.
"Oh!"
Dr. Chen shrunk his neck and shoulders, obediently agreed.
Yet from his disobedient expression, it’s clear his words are not sincerely felt.
"I’ll go to the bathroom; you both head to the clinic first!"
Doctor Xu turned into a corridor; the hospital had these interconnected corridors everywhere, connecting the hospital buildings.
The corridors housed either clinics or washrooms.
After Dr. Chen and Li Jingsheng walked a bit further, muttered "Doctor Xu says not to care about others’ opinions, but you didn’t see, when you showed your Bone Touching Skill in the consultation room and got all the doctors’ approval, Doctor Xu was beyond thrilled..."
"Cough cough..."
Doctor Xu’s coughing sounded from behind, his face was grim.
Dr. Chen turned to look, immediately frightened out of his wits, forcing a smile worse than crying.
"You talk too much; if you could use this skill with your hands, it would be great." Doctor Xu didn’t really scold him, just said that, and then quickly walked forward.
Dr. Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of surviving disaster, pats his chest "Scared me to death. I clearly heard Doctor Xu saying to go to the toilet, how come he’s out so fast?"
"You still don’t learn your lesson? If the mentor overhears later, he will deal with you."
Li Jingsheng understands why Dr. Chen hasn’t been favored by Doctor Xu despite working in the clinic for so long.
Poor talent, yet still has the loose mouth.
It’s fortunate Doctor Xu has a good temperament, with other superior doctors, this kid would have been taught a lesson long ago.
Even suspect Dr. Chen was kicked to work at the manual repositioning clinic due to his loose mouth.
The two returned to the manual repositioning clinic, Li Jingsheng is now required to practice medicine independently and sees patients alone. When facing somewhat difficult cases, he also has to think of ways to solve them himself.
He starts working diligently.
Not long ago, upgrading Bone Touching Skill and external diagnosis almost exhausted the accumulated few hundred life points.
Only fifty odd points left, he must work hard to treat more patients and earn more life points.
