Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141: Chapter 114: Finally Reaching Attending Level in Medication Use

One of the issues is a minor illness, the most common being a cold. After an examination with no major concerns, medication is prescribed for the patient to take at home.

The patient is a woman in her mid-thirties, who hesitates after receiving the medication.

"Is there anything else you need?"

Li Jingsheng asked with concern.

Some patients suffer from conditions that are hard to talk about, and they have reservations.

Especially with two other patients present, as a young female patient, she feels even more embarrassed to speak out.

"I... usually choose to go to the Quick Recovery Clinic for treatment when I’m sick. They have quick results, and after getting an injection, I’m better by the next day. I’ve also been to Jinkui Clinic once, but they prescribed herbal medicine which took three days to work, and I got better by the fifth day. This is my first time coming here; I heard from friends recently that your medical skills and ethics are excellent, so I came to give it a try."

The woman’s words clearly imply her strong preference for the Quick Recovery Clinic.

The patient, lacking medical knowledge, does not understand how valuable the body’s immune system is; injections with antibiotics indeed work quickly.

Especially with the use of multiple antibiotics in combination.

Of course, Li Jingsheng’s current proficiency in pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics is only adept; he has not reached the level of combined medication.

He admits to himself that he lacks this capability.

Quick Recovery Clinic has been operating for many years, but Li Jingsheng is not aware of Boss Zhao’s actual level of medical expertise.

Usually, it’s several doctors and nurses hired by Boss Zhao doing the work.

Boss Zhao is mainly responsible for signing off, giving directions.

What Li Jingsheng has seen more often is Boss Zhao teasing the young nurses under his supervision.

If Boss Zhao did any work, he wouldn’t be that overweight.

Quick Recovery Clinic has focused on infusion therapy for over twenty years, and their experience with antibiotics should be exceedingly rich. It’s not surprising that their level of medication use could reach the level of a deputy chief physician.

Even if Boss Zhao and the clinic’s doctors lack knowledge, they can consult with senior hospital doctors by spending money.

Normally, there’s a unique prescription for each illness, and medication varies for each patient.

Even for the same illness, comprehensive consideration is needed based on symptoms, age, presence of underlying conditions, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, and then precise medication is applied.

However, the biggest advantage of Western medicine is its standardization.

What does that mean?

As long as it’s a common cold, almost one medication can fix it.

The most adjustments made are based on age and weight, changing the dosage accordingly.

There’s no need for precise dosage; rough medication is sufficient.

For instance, an adult takes one pill at a time, while a child takes half. Basically, as long as there’s no issue with intelligence, anyone can manage the medication.
