Li Jingsheng turned his head to look, and the front desk of the orthopedic clinic was already empty.
Even the nurse girls had left.
"Today’s patient’s cause of illness was identified; it’s fat embolism. It’s likely caused by increased intramedullary pressure after cement infusion, causing fat drops to enter the blood vessels, leading to embolism."
Professor Wu revealed the specific cause to him.
"Thank you for telling me this, it’s really enlightening!"
"Just happened to run into you here, so thought I’d let you know!"
Professor Wu explained.
"Alright, goodbye."
Li Jingsheng turned and left.
Shortly after he left, he instinctively looked back.
He saw Professor Wu also come out, heading straight towards the parking lot, with no one accompanying him.
"This Professor Wu is interesting. Did he come to the clinic lobby specifically to wait for me?"
Li Jingsheng had initially thought Wu would be bothering some nurse girl, but now it seemed he was waiting for him.
Was his purpose to tell Li Jingsheng about the patient’s pathological mechanism?
It certainly couldn’t be that simple.
Could it be that Wu wanted to apologize to Li Jingsheng, but couldn’t bring himself to do it, and thus used this method to ease their relationship?
This is quite possible.
After all, many senior chief doctors in high positions are accustomed to being aloof and superior. For them to lower their face and apologize to a young doctor is extremely difficult.
When Li Jingsheng goes to work next time at the Second Hospital, he’ll know by Wu’s attitude.
He didn’t dwell on it further.
The female patient’s embolism was caused simply by elevated intramedullary pressure causing fat drops to enter the bloodstream. This must be guarded against when treating bone diseases in the future.
...
Returning to the clinic, he found Tang Ping and others still busy.
"Boss, you’re back!"
The three looked especially happy seeing Li Jingsheng return.
"Is everything okay at the clinic?"
Li Jingsheng’s eyes turned to Tang Ping.
When he was away, Tang Ping acted as the ’store manager’.
"There were five or six more difficult patients; I said the boss wasn’t in and suggested they come tomorrow or visit the hospital. Those with simple ailments mostly just bought medicine and left."
Tang Ping made detailed records and handed him the reports to check.
"You all did well. How were medicine sales today?"
Li Jingsheng asked Xiaogao, who was stocking the counter.
"Pretty good. The membership card system was a bit unfamiliar at first, but Siying figured it out after some trial and then taught us how to use it."
Xiaogao praised Han Siying.
"Siying has certainly made great progress. When diagnosing patients, her ability is very strong; there was a female patient with just a simple cough. After listening, she suspected a possible lung lesion. Later, that patient went to the health station and was diagnosed with a lung tumor, then transferred directly to the county hospital’s oncology department for treatment."
Tang Ping also praised Han Siying highly.
"Siying, well done! I’ll be working in the clinic tomorrow; if the counter isn’t busy, you can come and join me in diagnosing patients."
Li Jingsheng saw it was difficult to hire a certified doctor.
He decided to train her first.
At least she could handle common illnesses.
