Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101: Chapter 100: He’s No Intern

His greatest wish right now is to maintain this level of popularity for over a month, so he can make enough to cover the rent.

By then, he would be able to renew the lease for another year, giving him the chance to continue surviving and rapidly grow stronger.

"Xiaoli, still busy, huh?"

A deep voice rang out.

Li Jingsheng looked up and saw that Doctor Xu had arrived, and immediately a joyful expression appeared on his face.

Don’t be deceived by Doctor Xu’s short stature; his voice is truly booming.

Absolutely full of vigor.

"Teacher, you’re here, please have a seat! I thought maybe you wouldn’t be able to make it today because you were busy!"

Li Jingsheng quickly stood up to welcome him.

"If you have things to do, take care of them first. Don’t mind me. After dinner, I had nothing to do, so I came by for a visit."

Although Doctor Xu said this, it’s certainly not true that he had nothing to do and just came by for a visit.

He had come specifically to teach Li Jingsheng the bone-setting skill.

Even though he had a somewhat peculiar temper, finding a student who suited his taste and was talented was enough to make him shower affection exceedingly.

"I’ll be done here soon, so please have a seat and wait for me for a moment. After summarizing what I learned from you yesterday about the bone touching skill, there are many things I didn’t understand and would like to ask you about!"

Hearing that Li Jingsheng had earnestly summarized, Doctor Xu showed a pleased smile.

He casually picked up a newspaper to read while sitting in the break area.

A moment later, Li Jingsheng finished dealing with the restocking issue, hurried over to pour water for Doctor Xu, and sought advice on things he didn’t understand about the bone touching skill.

Doctor Xu was quite attentive, calling Li Jingsheng into the treatment room, closing the door, and only then was willing to answer his questions and difficulties.

Secrets are not passed to a third ear, and skills not imparted to the unworthy.

Many unique skills and secret arts are more likely to be lost than casually taught to outsiders.

Because these unique skills and secret arts often possess extraordinary power, if used by someone with malicious intent for wrongdoing, the harm to society would be unimaginable.

Doctor Xu patiently answered Li Jingsheng’s doubts one by one, and personally taught him some tips about bone touching.

"Today I will continue to teach you some new knowledge and techniques of bone touching; if you don’t understand anything, you can ask me at any time. Tomorrow is Monday, and based on my experience, there should be quite a few patients needing bone-setting adjustments at the orthopedic clinic. You can arrive before eight, and I will appropriately give you some practical opportunities. In any medical skill, the fastest way to grow is through practical experience with patients."

Doctor Xu was willing to give him a hands-on experience opportunity so soon; it was simply unimaginable.

Li Jingsheng was overjoyed.

He agreed repeatedly.

It might be because Doctor Xu observed his performance in mastering ordinary osteopathic skill at the hospital that day, noted his good performance, and acknowledged that he already had the capability, so he was willing to give him a hands-on practice opportunity.

Another very important point was that Doctor Xu had likely come to observe Li Jingsheng diligently the entire afternoon.

Only after seeing Li Jingsheng save a beggar and exhibit the compassion of a healer did he decide to truly teach him bone setting.

At the Second Hospital’s orthopedic office, even though Li Jingsheng showed decent talent, Doctor Xu still showed no intention of teaching him any advanced bone setting techniques.

...

It wasn’t until after nine in the evening that Doctor Xu finally said goodbye and left.

Around six, two patients came for consultation, and Li Jingsheng had to go out to deal with it for a while.

Even so, Doctor Xu still taught him for over four hours.

The theoretical knowledge of bone touching was basically all passed on to him.

The master leads you to the door; cultivation depends on the individual.

The understanding and practice ahead would depend on Li Jingsheng’s own efforts.

To be honest, the theoretical content is not much; if written out completely, it probably wouldn’t even reach ten pages.

But the various methods and tips of bone touching change endlessly in clinical practice.

The information obtained from bone touching requires comprehensive judgment by the toucher, similar to diagnosing the cause of an illness. It’s a bit like the blind men feeling an elephant; ten people feel the elephant, and the answers they come up with might vary.

Li Jingsheng set two small goals for himself.

The first step is to strive to memorize the theoretical knowledge of bone touching tonight, and keep it in mind.

The second step is to quickly practice the bone touching skill to an entry-level proficiency.

The orthopedic clinic at Second Hospital should provide him plenty of hands-on opportunities tomorrow morning.

Therefore, memorizing the theoretical knowledge tonight is very necessary.

Having suffered the hardships of running a clinic, Li Jingsheng cherishes every opportunity to improve.

After seeing off Doctor Xu, he was already feeling quite hungry.

At this hour, apart from late-night snacks, supermarket instant noodles are probably the only thing that can stave off hunger.

Instant noodles are fried food, and eating too much is very harmful to health.

But there’s no other way!

Recently, he’s been too busy. Encountering opportunities like today, he wouldn’t hesitate to go hungry for even a day.

Considering the cost-effectiveness and convenience, he carried a case of instant noodles home from the community supermarket.

Next time he misses a meal, he won’t panic.

After eating two packs in one sitting, his hunger was finally satisfied.

...

The next day, after briefing Tang Ping, Li Jingsheng hurried to Second Hospital.

He strives to learn the bone touching skill as soon as possible; once he reaches the entry-level, he won’t be afraid. By then, he can follow Doctor Xu to learn other advanced bone-setting techniques.

According to Doctor Xu, there are eight advanced bone-setting repositioning methods, and bone touching skill is just the first.

There are seven more.

If Li Jingsheng is fortunate enough and has a continuous supply of life force to enhance his newly learned bone-setting skills, it might take only a month or two to reach the level of competence.

By then, Sunshine Clinic can officially launch bone-setting repositioning as a specialized treatment project.
