Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 459

Chapter 459: Chapter 220: A Slightly Wooden Bone Image—Not Burning by Day, Burning by Night

Sometimes, it’s really not wise to overly idolize chief physicians and associate chief physicians; they have rich diagnostic and treatment experience, significant achievements in their papers, and might be very skilled in their areas of expertise.

But when they encounter some perplexing medical conditions, they also have moments of scratching their heads.

Certain causes of illness may appear clear, but after treatment, it becomes evident that there’s no effect. At this point, even a fool would know it’s a misdiagnosis.

This is what directors fear the most.

What seems to be a simple illness proves resistant to all treatment methods.

For example, the case of the infant with cow’s milk protein allergy and diarrhea diagnosed by Li Jingsheng last time left many doctors scratching their heads.

Even though it seemed to be a simple diarrhea symptom, the more it was treated, the worse it got, with various complications springing up like mushrooms after rain.

Could any doctor not have a headache over this?

The case for which Director Hua called him for a consultation this time is probably that patient returning for a second surgery.

The so-called "return for a second surgery" refers to the first surgery having unsatisfactory results, or the existence of excessive post-operative drainage of blood, combined with various complications, all requiring a timely second operation.

It’s definitely embarrassing.

No doctor wants their post-surgery patient to need a second operation.

But when it happens, it must be done.

One certainly cannot put a patient’s life at risk just for the doctor’s reputation!

Li Jingsheng arrived at the orthopedic consultation room and found only Director Hua, Professor Wu, Chen Anchen, Zhong Hu, and a middle-aged doctor he hadn’t seen much before, who was quite tall, with fairly regular features, and a thick head of long hair nearly covering his ears.

He was just over forty years old.

"Dr. Li is here! Hu Jia, let me introduce you two. This is Dr. Li Jingsheng, our newly recruited doctor in orthopedics, soon to be promoted to attending physician, already holding up half the sky in our closed reduction clinic."

Director Hua smiled immediately upon seeing Li Jingsheng enter, introducing him to the two.

"Dr. Li, this is one of the most outstanding young doctors in our orthopedic department, Hu Jia, associate chief physician, specializing in spinal treatment. He went to the People’s Hospital for advanced study some time ago and just returned the day before yesterday."

Only particularly outstanding doctors typically get opportunities for advanced study at other hospitals.

In the eyes of the Second Hospital, the People’s Hospital is considered quite impressive.

It can only look up to it.

It’s only because the Second Hospital has strong backing from the healthcare authorities that it can cooperate with the People’s Hospital by sending some of its outstanding doctors there for further study.

As for Qiaobang Hospital, it’s quite special in nature, with a joint venture background. To cooperate with it, one must possibly rely on strength to earn its recognition.

The Second Hospital is not even classified as a top-tier hospital and probably still has a long way to go to gain Qiaobang Hospital’s approval.

Not to mention Qiaobang, even the big brother, the First Hospital, is far from enough.

In Jiangli City, major hospitals have generally been declining, with their capacities continuously dwindling. Outpatient and emergency visits are shrinking, and healthcare talent is consistently leaving.

Those daring to resign or switch jobs fall into two categories: either they are of low caliber with no future, or they are highly skilled but lack advancement opportunities and seek better development.
