Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 320

Chapter 320: Chapter 173: Merit for Diagnosis, Not Making Things Difficult_3

He also happened to praise Li Jingsheng.

"Let’s do it!"

Director Hua had already been anxious for a while.

Professor Wu regretted not listening to Li Jingsheng’s advice and was now hoping the patient could survive this ordeal.

Tang Weilin’s praise of Li Jingsheng’s skills was well agreed upon by both.

They had just witnessed Li Jingsheng’s brilliance.

After putting the patient on a ventilator, the hypoxemia significantly improved.

It should be noted that bronchoscopes and ventilators are the ’tools of the trade’ in Pulmonary Medicine.

Each department has its own ’tools of the trade,’ which differ from each other.

The Orthopedic Surgery department doesn’t even have a ventilator and has to borrow one, which shows that the Second Hospital is much ’poorer’ than imagined.

Because Orthopedic Surgery is a department with good revenue.

Of course, it also depends on the hospital. Some hospitals, although large, do not have well-developed Orthopedic Surgery services, so their revenue capabilities are much weaker.

"Director Hua, I can’t help much here, so I’m going back to the clinic to work."

Li Jingsheng looked at the time, which was already past one o’clock, and he figured the patients at the clinic must be anxiously waiting.

"Go ahead! Recruiting you was evidently the right decision."

Director Hua gave him a very gentle look.

"Qinglan, I’m leaving now! I’ll come find you again at noon tomorrow!"

Li Jingsheng enjoyed Ou Qinglan’s adoring gaze at him at this moment.

It was the admiration for a hero.

Heroes find it hard to overcome the beauty’s favor.

The beauty easily falls before the hero.

"Mm!"

Ou Qinglan watched him leave, then withdrew her gaze.

This scene was caught by Director Hua.

He couldn’t help but think to himself, Dr. Li is not only skilled in medicine but also in romance!

When did he manage to win over the top beauty doctor in Orthopedic Surgery?

...

Upon returning to the outpatient department, Li Jingsheng indeed found a long line of patients.

As long as manual therapy is possible, many patients are willing to wait two or three days.

It’s low-cost, involves less suffering, and offers better recovery compared to surgical treatment; these are its advantages.

Pins and plates cause injury that goes beyond simply cutting the skin. They can damage the bone almost lifelong.

Drilling several holes in a good bone, if there was another way, doctors wouldn’t subject patients to such surgery.

Some patients with pins and plates recover well with little discomfort post-treatment.

However, some patients experience complications like bone inflammation, necrosis, infection, and suppuration a year or more after surgery.

Therefore, compared to manual therapy, surgical treatment has significant disadvantages.

Particularly surgeries requiring internal fixation.

To address this, orthopedic surgeons devised strategies like informing patients for a second surgery roughly six months post-recovery.

And why?

To remove the pins and plates from the body.

Then allow further healing of the bone.

Thus eliminating the risk of foreign objects remaining inside the body.

From this, it’s clear that the principles of surgical and manual treatment are actually the same.

They both aim to reconnect broken bones and allow them to heal.

Except surgical treatment involves more complexity, requiring multiple procedures to achieve the results of manual therapy.

This is why, despite traditional Chinese medicine waning under Western medicine, manual bone setting has maintained a strong market presence in many areas.
