The boss went to the Second Hospital for advanced training, studying manual bone setting and repositioning with Doctor Xu. How long has it been?
What can you learn in such a short time?
No matter how great the teacher is, it takes time to produce outstanding students!
"How about we take an X-ray first?"
The elderly woman, who had been silent, finally spoke up and took charge.
"The X-ray costs 100 yuan. Would you mind paying that first?"
When it comes to money matters, as long as Tang Ping is present, she never lets Li Jingsheng lower himself.
She mostly handles communication with families or patients.
"Sure."
The elderly woman took out her smartphone.
"Can I scan a QR code?"
"The payment code is just outside. This way, please."
After guiding the elderly woman to make the payment, Li Jingsheng took the child to the imaging room for an X-ray.
After the X-ray examination, the results matched his findings from the bone touching skill.
The dislocation of the boy’s right shoulder joint was quite severe. For a general orthopedic doctor, even if they know some bone-setting techniques, manually repositioning it without damaging the boy’s joint capsule is quite challenging.
Considering the risk of tearing the joint capsule, an average doctor would probably not dare to attempt it.
Li Jingsheng, thanks to his mastery of bone touching skill, could mentally form a precise bone map comparable to surgical repositioning, and combined with his Master Level ordinary osteopathic skills, he was confident in successfully using manual repositioning on this child.
For the fee, he planned to charge 200 yuan per person for shoulder joint repositioning.
This amount isn’t fixed; it’s based on difficulty and risk.
The X-ray costs 100 yuan, so the patient would spend a total of 300 yuan to be cured.
As for the sling provided after a successful repositioning, Li Jingsheng considered it a gift.
"Here are the X-ray results: the dislocation of the right shoulder joint is severe, but we can attempt manual repositioning. If it’s unsuccessful, we’ll consider surgical treatment." Li Jingsheng explained the basic situation to the family.
He definitely couldn’t guarantee a full success.
What if the manual repositioning fails?
"What’s the success rate of the manual repositioning? If it fails, will it harm my grandson’s arm?"
The boy’s grandmother quickly followed up with questions.
The family clearly had significant doubts about the medical skills of this small clinic.
"The success rate is above 80%. As for whether failure could harm your grandson, I can only say that every clinical procedure carries risks. If during the repositioning, I feel uncertain or that it might damage the child’s bones, I will stop immediately."
Li Jingsheng’s bone touching skill is at a Master Level.
He can fully anticipate potential issues with the bone structure, position, and possible damages during repositioning.
"Dr. Gao, the community health service center probably can’t perform manual repositioning, right?"
Perhaps not expecting this question from Tang Ping.
Xiaogao habitually scratched his head, "I’m not really sure about that!"
"Don’t think I don’t know; you often go to the community health service center for medicine. You surely know their technical capabilities." Tang Ping gave him no chance to play dumb.
Whether it’s Boss Zhao’s Quick Recovery Clinic or Li Jingsheng’s Sunshine Clinic, some medicines are simply not available.
They have to figure out how to get them from the hospital.
Li Jingsheng doesn’t have such connections, so he must find alternative medications.
If Xie Guiqiu could help him gain access to the centralized procurement platform, obtaining medicine would no longer be an issue.
Xiaogao mainly does odd jobs and errands for the Quick Recovery Clinic.
When the Quick Recovery Clinic needs medicine, they would have him go to the community health service center to ’stock up’.
Li Jingsheng wasn’t aware of this until Tang Ping, during a routine checkup with Niuniu at the community health service center, accidentally discovered it.
"I, I only went a few times... They do have surgical services, but whether they do manual bone setting, I truly don’t know."
Xiaogao stammered, his face turning red.
"Alright, alright, don’t trouble Dr. Gao anymore! Let’s call it a day. Our clinic will eventually offer manual bone setting services."
