Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 413

Chapter 413: Chapter 204: The Difference Between Practice and Real Operation, Here Comes a Tough Case (Part 3)

The male family member was just over twenty, and similarly strong, with a kind face.

Looking at them, they should be mother and son.

The man lying on the stretcher was also in his forties, with a pained expression and a pale face. His build was very robust as well.

What does this family do for a living?

Driving a truck to deliver goods for people?

Li Jingsheng didn’t ask much. He generally doesn’t pry into matters unrelated to the illness.

Many of them belong to the patient’s privacy.

Asking too much would embarrass the family, even offend them.

"Did you take the X-ray?"

"We did!"

The patient’s son hurriedly handed the information bag to Li Jingsheng.

"Was this taken at your local hospital?"

"Yes! The local hospital said surgery was needed, and it might not even heal, possibly leading to lifelong disability. We heard your place specializes in bone injuries, so we got a car and rushed over overnight."

The young man spoke quite frankly, telling things as they were.

"Coming from Feng City is not close, what if it can’t be treated here either?"

Li Jingsheng looked at the X-ray while chatting with the family.

"It’s over six hundred kilometers, really far. If it still can’t be treated here, we’ll try other hospitals. My father is just at this age, if he ends up with a disabled leg, how will he live in the future?"

The young man seemed not to have thought about this question.

He was stunned for a moment, then answered after some thought.

"Doctor, please do whatever you can to help. My son isn’t even in a relationship yet; if his father’s leg is disabled, what girl would want to marry him? My husband is the pillar of the family right now, if he falls, I can’t even imagine our family’s future days."

The patient’s wife said, turning away to wipe her tears.

The son was still young, ignorant of life’s hardships.

If he had a disabled father, finding a partner would certainly be a major obstacle.

Girls from better conditions simply wouldn’t consider marrying into such a family.

"From the X-ray, the injury is very severe; there’s a fracture in the middle of the right femur. It’s a transverse fracture with overlapping ends visible, and this can’t be simply realigned with manual techniques; even surgical treatment would be laborious."

Li Jingsheng not only had reached a considerable level in manual bone setting, but his orthopedic diagnostic skills had reached proficiency too.

After a comprehensive diagnosis, he believed that the bone injury of this patient was more severe than imagined.

The local hospital wasn’t wrong; surgical treatment still carried the risk of disability.

"Teacher, this patient’s injury is particularly severe, please help take a look."

Li Jingsheng sought help from Doctor Xu.

Doctor Xu took it and looked at it.

"Did you feel his bones?"

"Not yet!"

Before Doctor Xu could get angry and scold, Li Jingsheng hurried over to feel the patient’s bones.

After feeling, his expression turned serious.

He took a silver acupuncture needle from the drawer.

Pricked the patient’s right leg’s foot.
