Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 421

Chapter 421: Chapter 207: Leading the Consultation, the Chiefs’ Perspectives Overturned (2)

"That’s right, I do have that intention. There’s another reason—a disappointing performance from our orthopedic department this year has only secured us two attending level positions. Eleven doctors meet the conditions for promotion. You’ve only been here less than two months, yet you’re given one of these precious attending positions, which will surely cause discontent among other doctors. What you need to do is excel and silence them, making them genuinely convinced."

Director Hua sees the problem more comprehensively than he does.

This is the vision and mindset a department head should possess.

One must consider the whole picture, not just focus on any one person.

A department head is like the head of a large family; if something is done unjustly, it will cause discontent among others.

"I understand! Thank you for your focused cultivation."

Li Jingsheng is already a boss himself, managing four employees.

The reasoning for managing people is easily understood once explained.

"Work hard, strive to become a prominent figure in the orthopedic department, and that would be the best way to repay me. Don’t let Old Xu’s appreciation and cultivation go to waste."

Director Hua emphasized Doctor Xu.

Reading between the lines, Doctor Xu must have played a role in Li Jingsheng’s promotion to attending level.

However, Doctor Xu himself is only attending level, with limited influence.

To exert influence, he had to rely on Director Hua.

...

Li Jingsheng walked out of the director’s office and directly into the consultation room.

At this moment, the consultation room was already filled with doctors.

The whole orthopedic department was almost like a ’monk class’. Besides Ou Qinglan, a stunning beauty standing out from the crowd, there were only two female intern doctors.

It’s possible that female doctors in surgery are few and far between.

The orthopedic department is known for its roughness, with lots of manual labor, so female doctors generally keep their distance.

It’s really a wonder how Ou Qinglan ended up in such a ’divine department’.

"Hello, teachers and colleagues. Allow me to introduce myself: Li Jingsheng, an inpatient physician at the manual adjustment clinic. I’m honored to have the opportunity to discuss a challenging case with everyone. Due to time constraints, I haven’t prepared a PowerPoint presentation. I will directly use some raw materials instead."

Li Jingsheng glanced at Ou Qinglan, who understood.

She directly inserted a USB drive into the projector.

"This is the X-ray taken after the patient was injured a year ago. You can see a clear fracture of the left scaphoid bone..."

Li Jingsheng enlarged the first X-ray of the wrist bones onto the screen.

"Xiaoli, this case has been reviewed by all the doctors in our department. Everyone’s time is precious, so you don’t need to be so tedious. Just go directly to your analysis and diagnosis of the case."

A doctor with a somewhat intimidating face interrupted him without mercy.

His diagnostic skills were high, coupled with strong surgical capabilities.

It’s unclear how he performed with medication, but presumably not poorly.

Besides, in orthopedic surgery, medication is not as critical; many situations are handled by following formulae.

Doctor Xu is just a manual bone-setting doctor at attending level, and it’s perfectly normal for these chief physicians to look down on him.

Professor Wu is focused on academics and research, ranking the lowest among these chief physicians.

Despite coming up with a fresh idea for bone cement, the low admission rate meant other chief physicians likely looked down on him.

Last time, if he had treated a knee joint and ended up killing the patient, Professor Wu might never have been able to lift his head in the department again.

"Since all the directors are straightforward, I won’t be verbose. The reasons for the patient’s failed surgery last time were twofold. First, twelve years ago the patient injured his left wrist due to a track and field event and never went to the hospital for treatment. It self-healed over half a year later. A year ago, he fell and injured the left wrist again while riding a shared bicycle. Although he visited the hospital for this injury, the attending doctor didn’t notice the chronic injury in the patient’s left wrist."

The second reason for failure was that during the bone graft surgery, the sharpness of the radial styloid was not considered, and the gap with the scaphoid was extremely narrow."

Li Jingsheng directly presented the substance.

The entire consultation room immediately became silent.

All the doctors were deep in thought, analyzing.

"How did you know the patient injured his left wrist twelve years ago? Even such a severe bone injury from years ago should have self-healed, and I don’t think it would affect the bone graft surgery."
