Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 159

The baby in her arms was so frightened that its crying stopped instantly. Then, after two or three seconds, the child's little eyes saw nothing amiss, and began to cry again, even more fiercely.

"Big sister, don't scare the child!"

Li Jingsheng could only secretly help the poor daughter-in-law.

Other people's family matters, he couldn't manage, nor would he try to.

"Mom, why don't you sit in the rest area and take a break!"

Li Jingsheng glanced toward Tang Ping at the counter.

In fact, the commotion here had already been noticed by the customers over there.

Each one was watching, either openly or quietly.

He had worked with Tang Ping for over nine months. Though they couldn't claim to be of one mind, a glance was enough to understand each other's intentions.

Tang Ping greeted the two customers she was attending to, then walked straight toward the young mother.

After seating her in the rest area, she poured her a glass of water.

Comforting her with a few words, she took the baby bottle from her hand and gave it to the child's grandmother, helping to stop the crying, before returning to the counter to continue selling medicine.

Li Jingsheng knew very well that the best way to help the family resolve their conflicts was to cure the child's illness.

This baby had been sick for over a month, seeking treatment from several hospitals without success, making the parents and grandmother exhausted. Besides, the process was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly, only adding to the chaos of the already disharmonious family.

Cure the child's illness, make the grandmother and parents happy, and the sharp conflicts will naturally dissolve.

The idea is good, but curing the child is easier said than done.

He instinctively checked the attribute panel.

Now he's become reliant on it; encountering difficult patients, unable to find the cause, or having weak surgical skills, he would instinctively turn to the attribute panel as a 'lifeline'.

And it always works.

The prerequisite requires sufficient health points and corresponding medical skills learned, practiced to at least the Entry Level.

If one can't even reach the entry level, then having the attribute panel's golden finger is useless.

This child's illness is definitely a digestive disease.

The key lies in the Gastroenterology diagnosis.

The diagnostics from the two large hospitals are comprehensive, providing excellent reference for diagnosis.

What's lacking is the level of Gastroenterology diagnosis.

The Gastroenterology diagnosis now is at Master Level, already maxed out. To upgrade further, he must first elevate his physician level by another tier.

Upgrading the physician level offers numerous benefits.

It's akin to a doctor's Inner Strength.

It provides a broader and more solid foundation for all medical skills.

This baby's condition is recurrent but not immediately life-threatening, which gave Li Jingsheng the courage to attempt a challenge.

If by chance it's cured, not only would it boost the clinic's reputation but greatly alleviate the family's conflicts. Also, it would be an excellent exercise in his diagnostic ability in digestive diseases.

For any doctor, elevating medical skills inevitably requires challenging difficult cases.

For example, a fresh medical graduate starting residency, getting a chance to stitch up in an operating room is far more valuable than a hundred times of retraction.

The courage built through stitching practice on patients, handling operations under high pressure and tension, will be a leap in medical skill.

Having resolved his mind, Li Jingsheng instinctively checked the attributes.

Level: Senior Resident Physician 692.5/1000.

Gastroenterology Master Level 131.7/500.

Health Points: 541.

Whether it's experience level or skill proficiency, the progress is exceedingly slow.

To simultaneously upgrade both the physician level and Gastroenterology proficiency requires 677 health points.

This is far from enough.

Even if all health points were spent at once, it still fell short by 136 points.

"I'll have to try upgrading the level first and see how it goes. If it doesn't work, then I'll have to advise the family to take the child to a big hospital."
