Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 525

Chapter 525: Chapter 242: Helping Master Diagnose, ALS (2)

After helping her massage and manipulate her wrist for a while, I thought there was nothing wrong.

Only then did I get up and head to the adjacent consultation room.

"Dr. Chen, please cover for me for a few minutes; I’ll be back shortly."

Li Jingsheng looked at the long queue of patients outside with a sense of helplessness.

Every patient comes with great expectations for treatment; each patient’s needs and pain cannot be ignored.

When I first started learning bone setting, it felt quite novel; every day I could learn a multitude of new techniques for bone repositioning.

Now I’ve basically learned all the techniques I should; it’s more about repetitive work.

By the end of the day, it’s actually monotonous and dull.

And very exhausting.

After all, it’s physical work.

Just now setting the wrist joint for that little girl, it seemed easy and was done in just two or three seconds.

But reaching this level actually requires a lot of physical strength.

It’s like exerting a hundred kilos of strength, but only applying ten kilos to the patient’s bones. It’s somewhat like raising something high and putting it down gently.

Li Jingsheng himself could notice that after nearly three months of working at the Second Hospital, his arms had grown thicker.

They felt firm and solid to the touch, all well-built muscles.

This is all muscle developed through practice!

But it’s also a good thing, balancing work and exercise.

For instance, in the morning, when there was a commotion, he managed to hold back a young man who was 1.95 meters tall.

If it were before, he might not have been able to hold him back.

Arriving at Consultation Room No.1 next door,

Doctor Xu was attending to a patient with a leg fracture.

"Check the patient whose right arm dislocated two weeks ago and I repositioned. He now says he still can’t use his right arm with any strength."

Doctor Xu never bothers with formalities when talking to him.

It’s always straightforward.

This also shows that he doesn’t see him as an outsider.

This also has something to do with Doctor Xu’s character. Even facing hospital leaders, he never flatters.

If it weren’t for his exceptional skills, such a character might really be at a disadvantage in the workplace.

Li Jingsheng looked at the patient sitting there, a fairly delicate-looking young woman.

Her handsome boyfriend was carefully caring for her beside her.

"Did you put the arm in a sling after it was repositioned?"

"Yes, we did. We were supposed to keep it on for about three weeks, but we took it off in the second week since we felt it was fine. Her right hand has been weak ever since; could it be that the joint wasn’t repositioned properly?"

Her boyfriend replied in return.

"Did you get a follow-up X-ray?"

"Yes, we did. This is today’s, and this was taken when the injury occurred."

The man handed two folders to Li Jingsheng.

He looked them over; the first X-ray clearly showed a dislocated right shoulder joint.
