Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Chapter 11: High-Scoring ‘Masterpiece’

Spending money is always a delightful thing.

The hard-earned money might cause a slight twinge of heartache when spent, but also a sense of satisfaction from purchasing desired items.

Li Jingsheng instantly spent the 10 life points he had painstakingly saved.

He used those 10 life points with the extravagance of a millionaire.

He allocated them all to vertical mattress sutures.

A peculiar energy surged through his body, akin to a moment of enlightenment; he could distinctly feel a deeper understanding of the technique, key points, and operation methods of vertical mattress sutures.

His grasp of this suturing skill advanced from basic familiarity to proficiency.

It was as if he had practiced it countless times; even with his eyes closed, he could perform each suturing action with exceptional skill.

Even his overall suturing abilities showed significant improvement.

Some of the doubts and difficulties in suturing suddenly became clear. His grasp and application of suturing techniques were incomparable to before.

Vertical mattress suture proficiency 10/100.

After checking, Li Jingsheng immediately felt greatly assured.

Seeing the long and deep wound on Master Liu’s leg no longer seemed like a ’mountain’; it now appeared as a small hill that he could easily overcome.

He was confident to suture it well.

"Boss, just let me know if you need help at any time!"

Tang Ping winked at Li Jingsheng, implying a double meaning.

This acted as a kind of code between the two of them.

If Li Jingsheng couldn’t manage to suture such a long and deep wound, he just needed to signal her. She would then come forward with some comforting words and suggest that the patient visit a big hospital for treatment.

This would preserve Li Jingsheng’s dignity to the greatest extent.

"Just help me pass the instruments and prepare the sutures."

Li Jingsheng now spoke with great confidence.

The newly upgraded vertical mattress suture skill was still warm, fitting perfectly for practicing on Master Liu, while also earning a significant treatment fee.

It was a situation with multiple benefits.

Unlike the hospital’s formal billing model.

The clinic earns technical fees openly and fairly, never in a sneaky manner.

Formal hospitals earn quietly; the doctors’ and nurses’ skills are undervalued. A surgery, 200 yuan surgery fee, causing patients and their families to howl. The hospital is forced to quietly add costs in examinations and medication fees.

There was a shocking news story about an inpatient who used up 240,000 units of medicine; the hospital was forced into this!

Now, the health insurance regulation on hospitals places a strict medication proportion control, further squeezing the survival space for doctors. Of course, the intention is good; it’s to strictly control unnecessary prescriptions in hospitals.

But as the saying goes, "Where there is a policy from above, there are countermeasures from below."

Hospitals trying to survive will naturally strive to find other ways to fill this gap.

It’s fair to say currently over 90% of hospitals fail to meet medication proportion controls. They have to cure patients, minimize prescriptions, and ensure normal hospital profits; it’s very tough.

Small clinics are considered unorthodox; as long as no accidents occur, the higher-ups generally won’t bother you.

Of course, necessary greasing is inevitable.

Due to patients flocking to big hospitals, causing severe strain on hospital resources, while grassroots healthcare institutions remain desolate, it’s a severe waste of medical resources.

To correct this, the higher-ups have a big strategy to support grassroots medical institutions.

Small clinics are also included for support, which is a positive.

For instance, treating Master Liu, whatever price Li Jingsheng states is it. As long as the patient agrees, there’s no issue.

He checked the needle and suture thread, then held the needle holder with his right hand and the forceps with his left, beginning to suture Master Liu’s wound.

Strictly following the far-far-near-near sequence.
