Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 580

Chapter 580: Chapter 265: Young Doctor’s Skills Aren’t Bad, Scaring the Patient

In short, this hospital is quite well-known among affluent circles and high society. It’s also one of its main business directions.

To put it bluntly, it’s a private hospital specifically serving the influential and wealthy.

It’s said to be wholly funded by foreign capital.

Other than that, nothing is clear.

After a year of operation, it still hasn’t closed down, and now that they are sending doctors to participate in the city’s skill competition, it must have some strength.

There should be some clients they have received.

Otherwise, how could they support themselves for over a year?

When Li Jingsheng’s small clinic’s business was bleak, he almost couldn’t last a year.

At the time, he could only hold on for nine months and already owed Tang Ping three months of salary.

Such a high-end international hospital would have even more astonishing expenses in every aspect.

"Let’s go, we’re heading up!"

Doctor Xu stood up, leading Li Jingsheng towards the stage.

Despite his curiosity about who the man was and why he elicited such a strong reaction from Doctor Xu, Li Jingsheng still didn’t voice his question.

He vaguely guessed that the middle-aged man might be the root cause of Doctor Xu’s incurable chronic illness. Moreover, Doctor Xu’s consistent reluctance to take on apprentices was quite illogical.

This might also be related to the middle-aged man.

It’s a sore spot for the teacher, a scar. If he doesn’t bring it up, Li Jingsheng certainly wouldn’t pry.

Judging from the middle-aged man’s performance on stage, he was undoubtedly an expert in bone setting techniques.

Cervical spine bone setting is inherently a high-risk, high-difficulty operation.

That man effortlessly twisted the mannequin’s neck and easily passed the initial test. It was enough to prove his extraordinary skill in bone setting technique.

After Li Jingsheng and Doctor Xu took the stage, they easily passed.

If they couldn’t pass the first stage, it wouldn’t have been possible for them to gain such a reputation at the Second Hospital.

After returning to their seats, Doctor Xu occasionally glanced toward Jiupeng International Hospital.

"Is there any other doctor to take the stage for the preliminary screening?"

The audience was silent, with no response.

And no one else went up.

"Since no one else is participating in the bone setting competition, I will start the second round of testing. Congratulations to the 34 contestants who advanced to the second round. Your information has been recorded, and results can be viewed anytime on your paired tablets. Now, we officially begin the second round of testing. We will assign diagnostic tasks to you 34 participants. If you feel you can’t handle it, you can opt to forfeit directly on the tablet.

If there is a mishap, or if the patient’s condition worsens, the involved doctor and the hospital will be held accountable for compensating the patient’s losses, and the most severe could have their medical licenses revoked or be recorded in their file. So you must act within your ability."

This was the second time the host emphasized working within one’s limits.

In the first preliminary round, many overly confident participants took to the stage, only to face elimination.

Many of those eliminated were overconfident in their abilities.

Hearing that they would be held responsible if anything went wrong made the participants’ expressions turn serious.

Some even looked very grave.

Everyone came to compete, to improve their medical skills, enhance their reputation, and advance in their careers.

Gaining additional honors and receiving promotions and awards would give them more leverage and confidence.

If they made a mistake in the competition, they could lose their livelihood, which was something they definitely didn’t want to see happen.

"Alright, the thirty-four participants can now check their tablets. Once opened, you can directly view the patients’ X-ray examination reports. Make sure to act within your capacity. Winning an award in the competition is, of course, good, but it’s okay if you don’t. There are many other events afterward."

As soon as the host finished speaking, the thirty-four participants had already lowered their heads to look at their assigned patients.

These were real patients, with X-rays taken today.

The bone injury conditions could be clearly seen.

"I trust that everyone has seen it. For not worsening a patient’s condition and achieving proper repositioning, the full score is 10 points. If the repositioning is not accurate or has flaws, there will be appropriate deductions. If the patient’s condition worsens, or if it leads to thrombosis, they will be eliminated directly."

The thirty-four participants were filled with trepidation.

Elimination was minor; being held accountable was the most frightening part.

Li Jingsheng was assigned a patient who was a forty-three-year-old middle-aged woman with a dislocated left elbow joint.

This repositioning skill didn’t seem difficult to him.

However, for orthopedic surgeons whose bone setting techniques are mediocre, it would be a significant challenge.

The difficulty in repositioning the elbow joint is higher than that of the shoulder joint.

It was clear that the judging panel intentionally selected slightly challenging cases when choosing cases.

Because the competition only lasted three days in total, one competition project couldn’t take up too much time.

The judging panel needed the participants to resolve cases quickly.

Selecting some representative cases, then having the participants diagnose and treat them, allowed for scoring and even onsite teaching and analysis, all yielding excellent results.

"Participants who are confident, please proceed to the large treatment room at the back; there, there will be closed-circuit monitoring broadcasting live to the big screen. All your actions can be seen clearly by everyone present."

As soon as the host finished speaking, the screen switched, simulcasting eight small screens, simultaneously showing eight different treatment positions.

Li Jingsheng and Doctor Xu headed to the large treatment room together.

Upon entering, they were greeted by a dedicated nurse.

"Could you tell me the name of the patient assigned to you?"

"Wu Youlan!"

"And what is your name?"

"Li Jingsheng!"

"Alright, please come this way!"

The nurse led Li Jingsheng to one of the treatment positions where the woman with the dislocated left elbow joint was brought over.

The patient was sturdy, somewhat overweight.
