Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 335

Chapter 335: Chapter 178: Worries and Treating on Behalf of the Teacher (Part 3)

Based on Li Jingsheng’s experience, under normal circumstances, it is quite difficult for a patient to sprain the joint between the sixth and seventh vertebrae.

This is because the cervical spine has a specific characteristic of getting thicker from top to bottom.

The top is thin, and the farther down it goes, the thicker it gets.

The cervical spine is also the most flexible vertebrae in the human body, as well as the one with the strongest bearing capacity.

It supports the entire head of the human body, allowing the head to turn flexibly, bow, or look up.

The workload is astoundingly large.

"I accidentally sprained it while sleeping."

The man’s expression was a bit unnatural.

"Did you fall off the bed? It’s badly injured, you must be careful!"

Li Jingsheng even thought the woman was lucky; with such an injury, losing her life was possible.

"I didn’t fall, he did this."

The woman spoke with a trace of sobbing.

"Did you hit your wife?"

Li Jingsheng’s tone hinted at shock, and his gaze at the man became much colder.

"No, no, how could I bear to hit her? It was just accidental."

The man hastily waved his hand in denial.

His expression didn’t seem like he was lying.

The woman blushingly.

"Xiaoli, stop asking, see if it can be treated."

Doctor Xu noticed something amiss nearby and quickly stopped his apprentice from further questioning.

He understood Li Jingsheng’s intention; if there was domestic violence, Li Jingsheng would definitely want to help the woman call the police or contact the women’s federation.

As an old doctor in his fifties, he could tell at a glance that the woman was not injured due to domestic violence.

"Sir, his wife probably needs a massage treatment. Please guide me if you can."

Li Jingsheng unabashedly asked his teacher for guidance in front of the patient and the family member.

"This massage is quite difficult; your thumbs press on this position while the other four fingers grip her neck from both sides, yes, just like that..."

Doctor Xu looked at him with slight surprise, then carefully guided Li Jingsheng on how to operate.

Initially, due to technical unfamiliarity, Li Jingsheng’s massage effects were extremely poor.

After multiple tries, he failed to achieve desirable results.

"Can you treat her or not?"

The man was somewhat impatient, his tone becoming unpleasant.

"Her injury is at the sixth and seventh vertebrae joint, which makes the treatment’s difficulty and risk quite high, please be patient." Li Jingsheng explained with a smile.

"Why not let your teacher operate? Knowing it’s dangerous and difficult, yet you let a young doctor handle it, is this not inviting trouble?"

The man’s dissatisfaction originated from this.

No one wants their wife to be a guinea pig for a doctor’s practice.

"My teacher is unwell and unable to do such strenuous work."

"How do I know if that’s true? Can you treat her or not? If not, we’ll go elsewhere for treatment."

The man apparently didn’t trust them.

"If you are willing, I can try again. If not, you may go elsewhere."

Observing the man’s attitude, Li Jingsheng directly ceased treatment.

"Why argue with the doctor? If you don’t have it treated here, you’ll need surgery elsewhere. You’ve already asked." The woman scolded her husband seeing the doctor was displeased. "Go wait outside, I’ll come out once I’m treated."

"Just worried the young doctor’s skills aren’t good enough and might hurt you!"

The husband defended himself with grievances.

"Go wait outside, do you hear?"

The woman’s tone was angry.

"Fine, fine, I’ll wait outside for you, call me if anything comes up. Be gentle, don’t hurt my wife."

Eventually, the man obediently left to wait outside.
