Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Nouveau Riche-Style Medical Skill Upgrades

"I’ve reached my apartment complex, thanks for escorting me home. Take care on the way, it’s late, head home early!"

Her reaction was within Li Jingsheng’s expectations.

His ex-girlfriend broke up with him after six years simply because she disliked his poverty.

The encounter with this pretty girl was just a one-time thing. Although they got along quite well, Li Jingsheng’s financial situation was enough to completely erase any hint of goodwill she might have developed.

Throughout, she never asked for Li Jingsheng’s name, nor did she tell hers to him, let alone ask for contact details; this already showed her attitude.

The apartment complex she lived in was high-end, indicating her high standards for the quality of life.

Such a girl was way beyond his reach.

"Goodbye!"

Fortunately, Li Jingsheng himself dared not harbor any unrealistic fantasies about her, so he wasn’t disappointed, although he felt a bit lost as he turned away.

Men understand this feeling.

He didn’t notice the girl watching him disappear into the complex before limping inside.

Li Jingsheng returned to the clinic after eleven.

He cleaned up the dishes, washed them, and put them in the changing room. Tang Ping changes clothes there daily, stores her bags; it’s not easy to forget things after work.

Compared to those realistic women, Tang Ping’s unwavering support for him made him feel particularly warm.

After tidying up, Li Jingsheng didn’t feel sleepy.

With as much as 112 health points balance, he must quickly find a way to apply them on medical skills.

Because improving a medical skill means being able to handle patients that other clinics can’t manage. This would become his exclusive skill to snatch clients from Quick Recovery Clinic, Jinkui Clinic, and the City Southern Community Health Service Center.

"The drug efficacy is currently at Proficient 10.6/100. If I can level up again, my medication skills should reach the level of an attending physician in a top-tier hospital. A medication expert can stand out anywhere and become the backbone of a department."

He understood the importance of medication deeply.

A medication expert can become the backbone in top-tier hospitals; in a small clinic like his, they’d be as dazzling as the sun, shining brightly.

By then, his reputation would quickly spread, attracting many patients for consultation.

While other clinics take half a month for any effect from medications, he could see results in a day or even half a day.

When other clinics treat a patient with repeated flare-ups post-treatment, he could provide a cure once and for all.

Other clinics might hesitate or unable to medicate, but he could take it all.

That is the reason for his urgent desire to level up drug efficacy.

To succeed in a counterattack within just over two months and earn a year’s rent, it’s extraordinarily challenging.

Without a siphoning effect, he’s almost certainly doomed.

However, leveling up drug efficacy requires consuming 90 health points.

This made him quite hesitant.

The elderly lady’s consultation today made Li Jingsheng realize that poor diagnostic skills render advanced medication skills useless.

His diagnostic skills, apart from Pulmonary Medicine, were all merely Entry Level, certainly far too inadequate.

"There are many medical skills to enhance, with only 112 health points, so I must prioritize and allocate wisely."

He listed all the medical skills learned so far, then sorted them by importance and the health points required to level them up.

Pressure Hemostasis Entry Level 6.7/10, Ligature Hemostasis Entry Level 8.6/10. These two surgical skills consume few health points yet can have a significant impact during critical times.

Especially in handling trauma patients and surgical hemostasis, they are quite useful.

Pressure Hemostasis isn’t narrowly limited to using hands or tools to press the proximal end of a vessel for hemostasis; it includes clamps, clips, gauze packing, pressing with gauze, all falling under Pressure Hemostasis.

Even the most common accidental injury causing severe bleeding from hands or legs, followed by wrap hemostasis, falls under Pressure Hemostasis.

Its principle is to tightly constrict the limb’s proximal end to apply pressure to and occlude the vessel, reducing or temporarily stopping bleeding.

Previously, with few health points, Li Jingsheng dared not allocate any to these two skills.

Now he decisively advanced these life-saving skills during emergencies.

Pressure Hemostasis Proficient 10.7/100, Ligature Hemostasis Entry Level 9.6/10.

Unexpectedly, only Pressure Hemostasis advanced to Proficient level; Ligature Hemostasis got stuck at Entry Level 9.6/10.

He suddenly understood the practice and technique of Pressure Hemostasis vividly, like someone clearing the blockage in his mind. Previously, given the chance to assist senior doctors using hemostatic clamps, he was scolded terribly.

Initially, he dared not clamp too tightly, so the bleeding wasn’t stopped. The senior doctor scolded him, "Did you skip lunch? Clamp tighter!"
