Almost got my finger bitten by a patient.
Later, around eight, I handed over shifts, and after breakfast, my mentor called me to discuss two classic cases together.
At that time, he was really exhausted, but he didn’t dare to doze off.
Because of his poor condition, he was criticized by the mentor.
That was his most overwhelming moment.
It was also the first time he felt that being a doctor was not something an ordinary person could endure.
From working the day shift yesterday to being called in for discussion in the morning, he had been on duty for a full twenty-four hours.
He performed poorly during the discussion and got scolded.
Then he had to grit his teeth and continue with another twelve-hour day shift.
He only managed a little over an hour’s nap at noon.
That was his first time working 36 hours straight.
Just felt that being a doctor was too exhausting, and the training wage was low. Just a basic salary of three thousand, not a penny more.
Performance bonuses and such didn’t apply to trainees at all.
The department was quite shady back then, he remembered that much of the overtime pay and medical record writing bonus was cut.
Didn’t dare to ask.
Asking was useless anyway.
Later on, he gradually got used to it.
Many things are like this, get through it, and it’ll be fine.
So now, when facing a patient with a somewhat cold attitude, he wouldn’t get angry at all. Instead, he patiently inquired about the patient’s condition.
"I was riding a three-wheeled motorbike to deliver goods when I collided with an oncoming car. Then I rolled from the road into the ditch by the roadside, the water there was very smelly and black, but my back was injured, and I couldn’t move. Later, the driver at fault called the police, and the ambulance took a long time to arrive and took me to the hospital. When they lifted me, they all looked disgusted.
The most infuriating thing is the traffic liability determination, somehow I ended up being primarily responsible..."
The man saw Li Jingsheng waiting for his response and finally opened up.
When he talked about how he got injured, he seemed very angry.
Li Jingsheng was not interested in traffic liability division.
Many people riding electric bikes and tricycles, because they hadn’t taken a test for a driver’s license, weren’t afraid of losing points and fines; they rode however they wanted.
In the end, when an accident happened, they still blamed others for reckless driving.
"So now you mainly feel back pain, can’t stand, can’t walk, right?"
Li Jingsheng decided to use the Bone Touching Skill to examine this man.
"Yes! I can’t even sit, let alone stand."
The man replied.
"I’ll check the previously injured vertebra area for you."
After getting the man’s consent, Li Jingsheng placed his body in a lateral position and performed a bone examination on him.
The patient’s family was by the side, helping to hold his body.
"Doctor, please speak well on our behalf to your director. My son had a car accident, hasn’t recovered, and his girlfriend left him; he’s attempted suicide several times."
The patient’s mother said, tears flowing as she spoke.
In the face of illness, humanity seems incredibly small.
"Why are you telling this to the doctor!"
The patient, in a rough tone, scolded his mother.
He possibly felt that these words hurt his pride, so he was a little angry.
