Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 527

Chapter 527: Chapter 242: Diagnosing My Master’s Illness, ALS (Part 4)

He is indeed knowledgeable and experienced.

Now telling him that the patient likely has a muscle problem, Doctor Xu doesn’t doubt his apprentice’s diagnosis.

He just finds it strange; how did a simple shoulder dislocation turn into a muscle issue?

The two should not be directly related!

"I suspect her muscles are problematic, likely a neurological disease causing muscle atrophy and reduction, and weakness in the right arm."

Li Jingsheng explained in detail.

"Young lady, you heard Dr. Li. Go have a look at the neurology department!"

Doctor Xu, being an attending physician, immediately thought of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis upon hearing this from Li Jingsheng.

He agreed to persuade the patient to undergo an examination.

The duty of a doctor is to try to identify the cause of the patient’s illness and then treat it accordingly.

"Young doctor, are you sure about this? My girlfriend’s nerves are perfectly fine, where is the problem?"

The boyfriend was thoroughly skeptical of Li Jingsheng’s findings.

"Nervous system disorders are difficult to detect with the naked eye. We only suggest that she go to the neurology department for further examination. Almost all diseases benefit from early detection and early treatment."

For Li Jingsheng to come for a consultation is a huge favor.

This male relative is too petty.

Just because he made a few extra touches while examining his girlfriend? There’s really no need to be like this.

No wonder the doctors in Breast and Thyroid Surgery always feel apprehensive when examining female patients.

If it’s breast hyperplasia, nodules, duct fistula, how can you diagnose without palpation?

An experienced doctor can tell whether it’s a malignant tumor and to what extent it’s progressed just by palpating.

"Sun Yang, we should listen to the doctor. Let’s go to the neurology department and have a look! Anyway, it’s still early."

The female patient persuaded her boyfriend.

"Alright, alright, I’ll go with you! Who said you’re my darling? Let’s go!"

Her boyfriend grabbed her hand and walked straight outside.

He showed no gratitude to Li Jingsheng and probably felt a bit of discontent inside.

The female patient was at least polite and somewhat grateful.

She turned to Li Jingsheng and Doctor Xu and said, "Thank you, doctors!"

"You’re welcome. Hurry and get checked! Don’t delay this illness."

Li Jingsheng was worried she didn’t understand the severity of the disease and advised her again.

She was led away by her boyfriend.

"Do you suspect that the female patient just now has ALS?"

"It’s possible. It’s a shame such a young, beautiful, quiet girl gets this illness. Alas!"

Li Jingsheng shook his head and sighed.

"Teacher, I’ll head back there to continue working."

Disease at most claims lives, ravages the patient’s body, but human indifference brings the most dreadful emotional harm to patients.

Patients have to endure both emotional trauma and disease ravage.

"Didn’t that female patient faint from crying at the scene?"

Li Jingsheng thought the handsome boyfriend was really something else.

Just from the brief interaction felt the man was slick-tongued, someone who liked to put on a show. Unexpectedly, upon hearing his girlfriend had ALS, he bolted on the spot.

At least pretend, wait a few days before running!

Indeed, many people become extremely realistic in the face of their interests.

They even skip the insincere gestures.

"She didn’t cry. The girl merely acknowledged she’d finally seen through the man. Director Luo worried she couldn’t handle the blow and might commit suicide, so he insisted she provide a family contact and got her parents to come over."

Doctor Xu spoke.

A female patient suddenly facing the dual blow of severe illness and boyfriend abandonment still didn’t cry — this is indeed peculiar.

Based on their experience, such women are highly prone to suicide.

Because inwardly she’s devoid of hope, feeling life holds no meaning anymore.

"I’m off duty, once you finish here, wrap up as well. It’s necessary to limit numbers to prevent patients from waiting too long, and to avoid exhausting yourself."

Doctor Xu glanced outside the clinic where five patients were still queuing to see the doctor.

He reminded Li Jingsheng.
