Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 536

Chapter 536: Chapter 246: You Can’t Always Indulge Them, and Now the Consequences Are Here (Part 3)

The man looked at Li Jingsheng with newfound respect.

However, his tone still carried some arrogance and pride.

An ordinary person shouldn’t speak to a doctor in such a manner.

To become qualified as a regular doctor requires at least five years of rigorous study in medicine.

Many people study for seven or eight years, or even longer.

Then they have to undergo secondary training in hospitals, typically for around three years in major hospitals.

Only by passing numerous exams and assessments can they obtain medical licenses, training completion certificates, diplomas, and other qualification credentials.

The little girl’s father is completely an outsider in the medical field.

To use such a tone to criticize a professional doctor directly is quite impolite.

Li Jingsheng ignored him and continued pondering the doubts within.

Firstly, the fever from scrub typhus usually erupts suddenly, with body temperature rapidly rising, often exceeding 39 degrees to high fever.

The little girl had a moderate fever and a relatively slow onset.

This is not consistent with scrub typhus.

Secondly, scrub typhus usually presents with an eschar, which has not been observed on the little girl.

Thirdly, scrub typhus can occasionally cause red spots, but they do not migrate.

When Dr. Shao sent a video to Li Jingsheng, red spots were seen on the girl’s face, but they are not visible now.

Instead, they are noticed on the back of her neck.

This is still a major doubt.

Shao Bing is already making calls to acquaintances to help with scrub typhus screening for the girl.

"Can I examine her upper body and lower legs?"

Li Jingsheng asked the girl’s mother.

"Sure, please do your best."

The mother did not seek her husband’s opinion this time and agreed directly.

She proactively lifted the child’s shirt to assist Li Jingsheng with the examination.

It seems Li Jingsheng’s recent display of competency has given new hope amidst desperation, causing the family to place significant trust in him.

The girl’s father is holding a phone, seemingly searching for something.

He’s probably using online resources to educate himself about scrub typhus.

After Li Jingsheng examined the girl, he did not find any eschar but instead found several red spots.

Seems like scrub typhus is less likely!

If it’s not scrub typhus, then what illness could it be?

Rabies has been screened and generally ruled out.

The testing at a hospital like Qiaobang is quite authoritative, and the chance of error is extremely low.

The probability of oversight is there, but very low.
