Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210: Chapter 137: Withered Bone Structure, A Major Test for the Small Clinic

As for the young doctor, the patient knows that young doctors have less social experience, so they are much bolder in their approach.

"Xiaoli, come and touch his right knee and shin bone. Focus on the area near the soleus muscle line."

"Okay!"

Li Jingsheng heard the instructions and seriously performed a bone examination on the patient.

Doctor Xu asked him to touch the knee bone and shin bone, there must be a deeper meaning.

At first, Li Jingsheng didn’t find anything significant, only feeling that the bone quality seemed a bit loose.

When he touched the knee joint and shin bone, he could feel that the bone felt somewhat soft.

This phenomenon in adults suggests a sign of osteoporosis.

An ordinary person touching a metal rod and a wooden stick would surely easily discern which has greater density.

When Bone Touching Skill reaches a certain level, even through skin and a layer of fat, one can still detect the bone density with a keen sense of touch.

Li Jingsheng’s skill level in Bone Touching is currently at Master Level, able to sense bone quality and some bone structure.

"This bone doesn’t feel right!"

After repeating the examination four or five times, he discovered something new.

Initially, he didn’t find any abnormality, later suspected the possibility of osteoporosis, and after repeated examination, he found the patient’s leg bone seemed somewhat ’withered’.

How should I put it, it feels like it lacks vitality.

Like comparing two trees, one is alive, feels cool to the touch, sturdy, resilient, lively, and moist.

The other one has turned yellow and seems like it’s about to wither and die.

Upon touching, you’d find a noticeable lack of moisture and reduced resilience, clearly less sturdy than the other tree.

At this moment, touching the patient’s bone gave precisely that feeling.

As if the bone is nearly ’withered’.

"Xiaoli, have you found anything?"

Doctor Xu asked Li Jingsheng.

"It feels like touching dead wood, hard to articulate, it’s a very peculiar feeling."

Li Jingsheng answered truthfully.

The patient suddenly became angry.

"You’ve been examining back and forth for ages, can my condition be treated or not? It’s just a hip joint injury from a fall, isn’t Bone Setting enough? Why must you treat me like a monster for research, is this a proper attitude for a doctor?"

The patient suddenly lashed out in anger, which Li Jingsheng saw as a sign of a guilty conscience.

His alarm was certainly triggered by Li Jingsheng finding abnormalities, thus feeling guilty.

"Bone Setting isn’t simple, a doctor needs to first clear up the situation before treating. This hip joint issue isn’t entirely caused by the fall, there are issues with the bone quality itself."

Doctor Xu replied calmly.

"Done, I’m not getting treated, all this fuss wasted my time without curing me. Refund my hundred yuan, I regret coming to this worthless clinic."

The patient changed attitude immediately.
