"It was Dr. Li who operated."
Dr. Chen noticed Doctor Xu's complexion darkened a bit, and his tone wasn't quite right, so he quickly pushed Li Jingsheng forward as a shield.
"You can treat this kind of bone injury?"
Doctor Xu stared at him with a cold gaze.
"I felt somewhat confident. You weren't around at the time, so I took over. Fortunately, I didn't ruin your reputation. After repositioning, I checked the bones, and they were normal. The fracture line is also tightly closed; with some care, it shouldn't be a big problem after a while."
Li Jingsheng wasn't afraid of him.
Answering very calmly.
"How did you reposition it?"
Doctor Xu's expression was still not very pleasant.
His main concern was that Li Jingsheng might recklessly show off and delay the patient's condition.
"I had the child's father hold him in a seated position for repositioning. First adduction, then internal rotation traction, followed by abduction and forward flexion..."
Li Jingsheng recounted the treatment process.
After listening, Doctor Xu's previously darkened face turned bright again.
"Well done! Remember, you can be bold yet cautious when treating patients, but you must act within your capabilities. Reckless bravado and arrogance, which delay the patient's condition, are things you must never do."
After hearing his repositioning process, based on his rich experience, Doctor Xu knew that Li Jingsheng had most likely succeeded in repositioning.
"I'm not that kind of person!"
Li Jingsheng pouted.
Having practiced medicine for so many years, even when his medical skills were terrible, he never did such irresponsible things. What's more, now that he has opened a clinic, it is even more impossible to do so.
"It seems you've reached a certain level in traction and twist and stretch, which shows you've been diligent and hardworking. Do you still remember the four kinds of displacement at the fracture ends?"
Doctor Xu was very gratified to see his 'disciple' progressing so rapidly.
His gaze towards Li Jingsheng became much softer.
"Overlapping, rotational, angular, and lateral displacement!"
"Yes, those are the four types. When encountering one or two of these conditions simultaneously, traction and twist and stretch techniques need to be combined. This is the only way to align the axis of the distant and near fracture ends, allowing the overlapping displacement to be corrected."
These are the essences of advanced bone-setting techniques.
Doctor Xu openly said this in front of Dr. Chen, without fear of him learning them.
Li Jingsheng nodded repeatedly after listening.
He already had a certain degree of understanding and comprehension for these repositioning techniques.
To advance further, it might be necessary to upgrade both traction and twist and stretch to the Minor Achievement level.
It's not something to think about for now.
Because after upgrading the Twist and Stretch Skill to Master Level just now, his life value was only 43 points.
After successfully setting the bones for the patient, he earned 11 points, bringing it to only 54 life points.
This amount of life points was of little use to him now.
Because many medical skills, after reaching the Master Level, require 500 proficiency points to advance to the next level.
Medicine is destined to be a slow-growing profession.
Even with an attribute panel, it remains the same.
But this is also related to him improving multiple fields simultaneously.
There's intraperitoneal diagnosis, general surgery, respiratory medicine, cardiology... too many medical skills need to be improved.
This is also why many senior medical professionals don't recommend young doctors to pursue a generalist development path.
With limited time and energy, mastering one field is already very good.
Don't bite off more than you can chew.
Yearning to learn this and that, you're likely to achieve nothing in the end.
Li Jingsheng could totally ignore this taboo because he had the 'upgrade key' of an attribute panel.
"Xiaoli, did you learn the lifting and pressing I taught you a few days ago?"
