Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 465

Chapter 465: Chapter 222: Enlarged Kidneys That Aren’t Kidney Disease—A Physician’s Parental Heart

Don’t just talk about a single street; even a single department is a deep water.

Wherever there are people, there are conflicts, an eternal truth.

Li Jingsheng was able to integrate into this interest group and quickly gain such a high status, thanks to both ability and luck.

After the banquet ended, everyone went their separate ways.

A particularly interesting detail is that Boss Zhao always had a crush on Tang Ping, but he didn’t speak a word to her during the banquet, not even daring to look at her directly.

It’s unclear whether this was because the owner’s wife of Furuiduo Pharmacy was present, and he feared making her jealous, creating trouble.

Or possibly because he was wary of Li Jingsheng’s power and status.

In any case, Boss Zhao is a smart man, often especially cautious with risky matters.

Li Jingsheng drank a few glasses of wine, feeling slightly tipsy, but when he returned to the clinic, his mind was clearer than ever.

As he sat in the empty reception hall, his mind pondered over the difficult case Director Mu encountered.

The patient is a female under forty, described as an agricultural worker in the medical record.

It can be expected that this patient’s income is relatively low, and her education level is probably not high either.

Because, under normal circumstances, middle-aged people with even a slightly higher education level would mostly go to the city for work to improve their family income.

A month ago, the patient experienced pain in her right lower limb, reduced urine output, and noticeable swelling of her lower limb.

Later on, doctors from the Second Hospital confirmed that it wasn’t swelling, but edema appeared.

Oliguria, lower limb edema, and right lower limb pain, following normal diagnostic thought, the problem would first be locked onto the kidneys.

In fact, the initial appointment the patient made was indeed with the urology department of the Second Hospital.

Possibly due to financial constraints, she couldn’t bring herself to book with the department head, settling for a general outpatient appointment.

The attending doctor was Tan Shuilin, a young and promising doctor in the Second Hospital’s urology department.

This person is similar to Dr. Qin from the orthopedic department, both part of that outstanding category among resident doctors.

Ordinary resident doctors are not qualified to open outpatient appointments.

For instance, when Li Jingsheng just joined the Second Hospital, he could only work under Doctor Xu. Only a few days ago did Doctor Xu let him ’establish himself’ and separate for consultations.

Only then did the orthopedic department step in to help him apply for an outpatient physician number.

Although it seems like an insignificant thing, for a doctor, it is a big step forward.

Many resident doctors eagerly endure, and even if only offered a one-day-a-week outpatient opportunity, it’s cause for immense joy and anticipation.

Because the vast majority of doctors need to persist until they become attending physicians before having the chance to open outpatient numbers and formally qualify for consultations.

Just like in ancient times where local doctors, at least achieving the rank of physician, were qualified to consult.

At the very least, reaching the official rank is considered a proper local doctor.

This qualification requirement also exists today. Normally, a doctor needs to undergo one year of internship to graduate, then three years of standardized training and obtain a medical license to become a formal resident doctor.
