Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 587

Chapter 587: Chapter 268: Severe Paralysis, Satisfying Treatment Outcome (Part 3)

If I agree to participate, I have a chance to reduce part of the surgery fees, or even have the treatment fees waived completely.

The opportunity is quite tempting, but I’ve really been frightened by the quacks in my county. My attitude earlier was not good, so please bear with me."

The man explained to the two.

His bad attitude can’t really be blamed.

For a typical patient, encountering a quack even once can lead to the saying ’once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of a well rope.’

"It’s okay, we understand your concerns."

Li Jingsheng and the nurse helped the patient sit up.

At this point, it was noticeable that when the patient tilted his head left or right, there was an obvious tilt.

When the patient sat upright, his head leaned slightly forward.

A cervical injury can cause immense discomfort and severely affect head movement functions.

It can even impact the movement capability of the entire body.

"I am now going to perform a repositioning treatment for you. Please sit still."

Li Jingsheng noticed marks on the patient’s neck from wearing a neck brace.

But without repositioning the dens fracture, just wearing a neck brace has some effect, but cannot significantly relieve the pain.

Moreover, if it remains like that for long, it can lead to malunion, making treatment much more difficult.

Eventually, there would be no other options besides surgical repair and repositioning.

Quacks really do harm!

Who knows what kind of doctor they found, messing with patients like this—doesn’t their conscience hurt?

Of course, it’s also possible that the doctor’s skills were limited, wrongly believing the repositioning was successful. After healing, attempting to save the patient examination fees, combined with overconfidence, no follow-up was conducted, ultimately leading to such issues.

Li Jingsheng would rather hope for the latter scenario.

Otherwise, that doctor is certainly not a qualified one.

Such irresponsible doctors, with compromised medical ethics, should be eliminated from the medical profession.

"Dr. Li, please wait a moment!"

The nurse stopped Li Jingsheng and immediately brought the patient’s X-rays.

"These are the tests the patient had done at our hospital. Please take a look before the treatment."

"Why didn’t you show me earlier?"

Li Jingsheng took them and asked.

"Sorry, it’s due to the competition rules."

The nurse apologized profusely.

He couldn’t really bicker with this pretty young nurse. Her gentle voice and sincere attitude made it hard for him to get angry.

After reviewing the lateral and frontal X-rays, Li Jingsheng felt more confident in his diagnosis.

It matched the conclusion derived from the Bone Touching Skill.

He could proceed with the treatment.

He stood behind the patient, placing one thumb on the patient’s axis spinous process and the other hand under the patient’s chin.

"Nurse, could you help me with traction? Gently pull the patient’s head upward, and take it slow."

"Okay! If there’s any part I’m not doing right, please remind me and help me correct it."

The nurse, following Li Jingsheng’s guidance, gently held the patient’s head and pulled upward.

The patient actually showed a very content expression.

Li Jingsheng was somewhat speechless.

Isn’t it just a pretty young nurse holding his head? This patient is really unimpressive.

At least in this situation, it’s enough for him to feel it internally without showing such a satisfied expression.
