"Don’t mention it. I was on a business trip when I heard she got injured, I was so heartbroken."
The boyfriend quickly added on the side.
You can tell, this boyfriend is indeed handsome, but he gives a sense of being good at superficial gestures, somewhat slick.
Nowadays, straightforward boys are at a disadvantage when chasing girls.
Those who can’t speak sweet words are likely to remain single.
On the contrary, men who are smooth talkers, even if they’re extremely untrustworthy, still have women flocking to them.
"Let me feel your bones! If we really can’t find the cause, you might need to visit the orthopedic department."
"Sure."
The female patient nodded in agreement.
Li Jingsheng started from her elbow joint and squeezed upwards.
His expression was serious.
He had to maintain a serious expression because the boyfriend was watching, and if a misunderstanding arose, it would be hard to explain.
Some men have gone as far as hitting male doctors who touch their girlfriends or wives.
"No wonder your hand is weak, it feels like there’s not much muscle on your arm!"
Li Jingsheng quickly noticed the problem with a touch.
The bones didn’t show obvious issues, but her arm lacked muscle, it seemed very thin.
"I shouldn’t be thin though! Over a hundred pounds."
The girl instinctively touched her face.
"It’s normal for girls not to have much muscle, right? If a woman had muscles as developed as a man’s, that would be terrifying." Her boyfriend chimed in.
"You’re right. Let me check your left hand now."
Li Jingsheng didn’t argue with them but internally felt the girl had less muscle on her right arm.
He examines patients’ bones all the time and wouldn’t make a mistake.
After probing her left arm, he noticed it was better but still had less muscle.
"Are you sure you used to be strong?"
"Of course! Why would anyone lie about that!"
She nodded seriously to confirm.
Li Jingsheng furrowed his brow, thinking for a while but couldn’t figure out the cause.
"Can I feel your right arm again? I just feel like the weakness in your right hand isn’t a joint issue, it might be related to the lack of muscle."
Thinking for a moment without any important spark, he had to consult the female patient again.
"Sure, no problem."
The female patient agreed generously.
The boyfriend said nothing but looked visibly unhappy.
Li Jingsheng checked her right arm muscle group again.
The muscles here are usually quite ample, even for girls, with some exercise, a clenched fist would show ’little mouse’ bumps.
"Your right hand, clench it tightly."
"Okay!"
Li Jingsheng directed the patient to clench her fist and exert force.
At this moment, he felt the patient’s right arm muscles trembling.
Like they were quivering.
"Alright, relax, relax, don’t exert force anymore."
