Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 217

Li Jingsheng called out to Tang Ping.

The clinic had become much less busy, and she was feeling worried. The arrival of such a major case lifted her spirits.

"You can just wait outside. After the surgery, we still need to give him an IV drip."

Li Jingsheng said to the two people.

"Old Liu, why don't you go back to work first? I'll head over as soon as Xiaoshan's surgery is done."

"Alright!"

Master Liu was an honest man, and he agreed promptly before leaving.

"Be careful, make sure nothing else happens."

Master Shun reminded him from behind.

Li Jingsheng asked Xiaogao to help carry the injured person into the treatment room, then had Xiaogao go outside to sell medicine, while he and Tang Ping performed the surgery on the injured person.

After thorough disinfection, local anesthesia was administered, and they began cleaning the wound.

Since the wound was caused by the sharp edge of an aluminum window, it definitely required debridement.

Fortunately, the wound was not particularly deep.

Li Jingsheng's mind was rapidly devising the surgical plan.

Currently, his surface debridement skill was at a proficient level, which was just passable for this wound. However, to achieve excellent debridement results, a Master Level of surface debridement was necessary.

Gritting his teeth, he decided to advance his surface debridement skill to Master Level. It was a rare opportunity to handle a somewhat major surgery, and he had to do his best.

In just the blink of an eye, his surface debridement skill was upgraded from proficient to Master Level.

A total of 89 life points were consumed.

Surface Debridement Master Level 100.5/500.

Now, not only could he handle somewhat complex lacerated wounds, but he could also effectively deal with severely contaminated wounds, rotting wounds, and jagged wounds.

The results of the debridement would definitely reach an excellent standard.

Rather than just a passable standard.

With debridement completed, the next task was suturing. The ideal method would be intradermal suturing. However, since he hadn't learned it yet, he could only consider simple continuous suturing.

Using continuous suturing for this wound had the advantages of quick suturing and hemostasis, which could shorten the surgery time. However, it wasn't very conducive to healing and could leave rather unsightly suture scars.

There's no choice, patients coming to his small clinic for surgery can't expect perfection.

He could only guarantee to cure the patient.

Spending over a thousand yuan and expecting everything to be perfect was impossible.

Using continuous suturing for this wound wasn't the best choice. Moreover, this skill was only at a proficient level, so the suturing effect would definitely suffer, and healing might be affected.

Elevating the continuous suturing to Master Level could mitigate some disadvantages of the skill, minimizing its adverse effects.

With this in mind, he decisively spent 69 life points to level up his continuous suturing skill.

Continuous Suturing Master Level 100.8/500.

In an instant, over a hundred life points were consumed, leaving him with only 184 life points.

This also gave him a valuable insight for future reference when learning other surgical skills.

Intradermal Suturing Entry Level 0/10.

This suturing method can precisely align the skin edges while reducing scar formation.

Although it was just a brief introduction, intradermal suturing can be applied to various wound sutures.

Mastering it will also benefit his future practice of anastomosis techniques.

Suturing skin is certainly not his end goal; ultimately, he aims to achieve the ability to anastomose blood vessels, intestines, and even nerves and tendons.

By that time, his surgical skills would have truly reached a certain level.

Currently, his abilities might be impressive for a clinic, even a basic hospital.

But in a large hospital, they are far from enough.

Why do surgeons practice knotting on cotton or tofu? Why practice slicing pigskin or paper?

Everyone practices various surgical skills day and night to one day perform major surgeries of levels three or four.

Anastomosis of blood vessels, nerves, intestines—all are crucial milestones.

"Since the intradermal suturing skill has reached the Entry Level, I'll use this suturing method."

Li Jingsheng immediately changed his initial plan.

He spent 100 life points straight away, leveling up the newly acquired intradermal suturing skill directly from Entry Level to Master Level, advancing two levels.
