Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 162

The family watched him frowning for a long time, still failing to diagnose the condition, and started doubting his medical skills.

After all, the clinic was small, and Li Jingsheng was so young.

No matter how much the child's grandmother trusted the words of her friends, she still needed to see for herself.

"Dr. Li, is this illness quite difficult to treat? How about we go home for now? The milk the child drinks has cooled down and needs to be re-made at home."

Artificial feeding is actually very troublesome.

Especially with the difficulty of controlling the temperature of the infant formula.

If it's too hot, it will burn the child's oral mucosa, and the proteins, vitamins, and other nutrients in the formula will be destroyed by high temperatures.

If it's too cold, the infant is prone to diarrhea, vomiting, and other symptoms after drinking it.

The temperature of the formula needs to be maintained at around 40 degrees, slightly higher than body temperature, which is very troublesome to manage.

"The child's illness is indeed tricky; the main challenge is in identifying the cause. How about this, if you're willing, you can leave a phone number, and if I diagnose it later, I'll call you to come back."

Li Jingsheng naturally knew the family was making excuses.

This was just perfect, saving face.

The child's grandmother left a phone number and left, holding the child.

"Why are you still sitting there idly? Go home to make formula for the child! Bringer of bad luck!"

The child's grandmother was particularly harsh towards her daughter-in-law upon seeing her.

The young mother seemed timid or something, as she meekly took the bottle, opened the clinic door willingly, and let the grandmother holding the child go out first.

Li Jingsheng watched their backs, feeling very unwilling.

Opportunities to tackle such complex cases were hard to come by.

Based on his experience, as long as he successfully diagnosed the case, the rewards on the attribute panel will be very encouraging.

Plus, it would be a great exercise for personal ability.

The grandmother holding the child surprisingly didn't leave but backed up.

Li Jingsheng was pondering what was happening when he saw the old man who received treatment for back abscess and his wife step into the clinic.

The old lady was carrying a large bag of fruit, while the old man held a roll of dark red fabric.

It had a fringed edge.

At a glance, Li Jingsheng immediately felt energized.

If he guessed correctly, the old man should be holding a flag of commendation.

Based on the timeline, the old man's surgical wound should also be almost healed.

Looking at the joyful expressions on the elderly couple's faces, most likely they were here to thank Li Jingsheng at the clinic.

Indeed, as soon as the old man entered, he unfurled the flag and walked quickly toward the reception counter with a broad smile.

The grandmother with the child and the young mother had already left.

There's something interesting – the child's grandmother deliberately came back after exiting to remind Li Jingsheng, if he diagnosed the cause of the child's illness, to call her.

Don't underestimate this small gesture; it shows that after seeing a patient present a flag to Li Jingsheng, the grandmother has placed high trust in his medical skills.

Many such patients, after ineffective treatment at big hospitals, especially venerate folk 'healers.'

Li Jingsheng is not some 'healer,' as most folk Chinese medicine practitioners are referred to as 'healers.' Some old Chinese medicine practitioners truly have real skills, but most are mere rumors, or even self-promoted through hired sham supporters.

He checked his life points, balance 333.

This is a very unappealing number.

He found not only increased life points by 100, but also the proficiency in Gastroenterology diagnosis improved by 5 points.

Gastroenterology mastery 136.7/500.

It definitely increased his proficiency in Gastroenterology diagnostics with the examination of that child by a solid 5 points.

It seems to quickly enhance proficiency, he must treat challenging cases.

Despite not diagnosing the cause, he gained such great rewards.

If successfully diagnosed, the rewards would certainly be more remarkable.

Also noteworthy, diagnosing that child didn't increase his life points.
