Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 215

"Let me see your other hand again."

Li Jingsheng did not answer immediately.

This time, the man did not hesitate. He handed the medicine he just bought to his right hand and let Li Jingsheng examine his left hand.

After carefully observing, Li Jingsheng's expression became slightly serious.

"Have you recently felt fatigued, with a reduced appetite or an unexplained discomfort in your body?"

"It seems there is. Recently, I've been feeling weak all over and have no appetite. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I suddenly feel very uncomfortable, but I can't pinpoint where the discomfort is."

The man realized that the owner of this clinic might really have some skills.

Because Li Jingsheng correctly described his symptoms.

"How long has this situation been going on?"

"Maybe for one or two months! I've been too busy lately and didn't think it was a big deal, so I didn't bother. Doctor, is it serious?"

He was most worried about the consequences.

"The color of your palm looks like liver palm, along with spider angiomas on your body and various symptoms. I suspect there may be a problem with your liver. I suggest you go to a big hospital as soon as possible to check your liver."

Li Jingsheng advised him.

"What exactly is my condition? Is it serious? I have an important social engagement tonight. Can I go for a check-up tomorrow instead?"

The man was very concerned about work impacts.

"Does the engagement involve drinking?"

Li Jingsheng asked.

"Definitely needs drinking! If I don't accompany the client and drink heartily, they won't be pleased. This project is too important for me. I have to find a way to secure it."

The man's tone and expression were exceedingly determined.

"Your liver already has problems, drinking again is like stabbing it with a knife. If this project is so important to you, I suggest you bring an assistant and try not to drink. The appearance of liver palm and spider angiomas usually indicates chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis. If left unchecked, it could easily progress to liver cancer."

Li Jingsheng invoked liver cancer to prompt the patient to seek treatment sooner.

Cirrhosis, like renal failure, is a difficult disease to cure.

There's still hope if it's only early-stage cirrhosis.

"It's that serious! Then I definitely can't drink tonight."

The man immediately relented.

This reaction was within Li Jingsheng's expectations.

He had never seen a patient truly unafraid of death.

"You certainly can't drink anymore, and you must also control high-salt, high-sugar foods. The liver has almost no pain nerves, so you can't feel pain when it's sick. The discomfort you feel when waking up at night is likely due to liver issues. So, I recommend you go to the hospital for a liver and liver function check as soon as possible."

"Alright! Thank you!"

The man left full of respect for Li Jingsheng.

This man's liver condition should not be very severe yet, but if not treated in time, it might lead to serious problems soon.

As he watched the man leave, Li Jingsheng couldn't help thinking, "Although I didn't charge for diagnosing this man, the experience points and proficiency on the attribute panel should have increased, right?"

He opened the attribute panel to check.

The experience points actually increased by 11.2, which was quite impressive.

Of course, this was the gain for the whole day.

Diagnosing this man with liver palm was relatively easy, not significant enough to add so much level experience.

He realized the Bone Touching Skill proficiency increased by 12 points and understood a bit more.

It must be because he had a major breakthrough when examining that trouble-making cancer patient, thus raising his doctor's level experience significantly.

Lian Tao was right; only medical expertise is the core of the clinic.

Everything else is insignificant in front of powerful medical skills.

Time passed little by little. Due to the disturbance caused by that cancer patient, Sunshine Clinic's afternoon client flow was not substantial.

It was far from the peak scene in the morning.

Today started high and went low.

However, it wasn't completely bleak—there were still patients coming for consultations, and customers coming to buy medicine.

At around four in the afternoon, the clinic door was roughly pushed open, and Master Liu along with his coworker Master Shun came in carrying an injured person one after another.

Master Liu's leg wound had barely healed for a few days. He was supposed to rest more at home.

At least he needed a month or so to fully recuperate.

Seeing his body covered in dust and sweat, it was clear he didn't heed the advice and was eager to earn money.

"Dr. Li, Dr. Li, please help my coworker. His kidneys got cut."

As Master Liu carried the man toward the examination table, he shouted.

"Kidneys got cut?"

Li Jingsheng's heart sank. The public security in Jiangli City isn't great, but it's definitely safer than Myawaddy or Northern Myanmar.

The two carried in a young guy, looking at most around twenty, with fuzz on his lips still not fully grown.

"Who cut his kidneys?"

This kind of trauma patient was beyond Li Jingsheng's ability to treat.

"He did it himself while working, got scratched by the sharp corner of an aluminum window. Because you stitched me up nicely last time, we've come to find you again."

Master Liu explained.
