Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 611

Chapter 611: Chapter 280: Winning the Silver Medal, Director Yan Starts to Question His Life_3

She and Li Jingsheng formed an inseparable bond because of this competition.

The relationship between the two became noticeably closer.

"It’s hard to say, I believe there’s a possibility of appendicitis, but it shouldn’t be significant. Unfortunately, there’s just too little effective information given, making further diagnosis impossible."

Li Jingsheng had participated in multiple rounds of the competition, getting some understanding of the question-setting examiners of the organizer.

The examiners were very cunning. The questions they posed were often misleading, easily causing participating doctors to misdiagnose or misjudge.

The symptoms of this case could be preliminarily diagnosed as appendicitis by any slightly experienced doctor, which is all too simple.

As time passed, the rankings gradually appeared on the screen.

Renmin Hospital and Qiaobang Hospital unsurprisingly tied for first place.

And the number of contestants achieving full marks was still increasing.

After twenty minutes, the quiz was basically over. Doctors with quick diagnoses gave results within five or six minutes and successfully made it onto the leaderboard.

Those who were slower found twenty minutes more than sufficient.

Usually, a doctor diagnosing a patient might take only one or two minutes to finish.

It’s truly not an exaggeration.

Many doctors need to attend to fifty or sixty patients a day, or even over a hundred, hardly having much time to spend on the same patient.

Unless encountering a difficult-to-diagnose patient, it may take longer or even require consulting senior doctors.

Many patients complain of spending tens of yuan on a senior doctor’s spot, only to be dismissed after speaking less than ten sentences.

This is a normal phenomenon.

Currently, small hospitals are relatively idle, while larger hospitals face a general shortage of medical resources and even crowding issues.

Doctors, having to manage so many patients a day, can only speed up and improve efficiency.

"Our Second Hospital’s ranking is out, ranking seventeenth, and it wasn’t Director Yan from Digestive Surgery but his junior doctor Liu Miao."

Xiao Linlin said worriedly.

Honestly, the doctors at the Second Hospital were very disappointed with this result.

Especially after securing a gold medal at the start, everyone had high expectations for General Surgery.

Given that even the weaker Digestive Internal Medicine had secured a silver medal, there was no reason for the strongest General Surgery to miss the gold.

The fact is, the three digestive surgeons from General Surgery disappointed everyone.

There was a Waterloo-like downfall.

Isn’t this what is commonly said about overconfidence leading to defeat?

"Director Yan, you mustn’t fail at a crucial moment!"

Vice Dean Jin was fuming with anxiety but didn’t dare speak harshly.

He could only offer a mild reminder out of unwillingness to see failure.

"Ahem... I thought it was acute appendicitis, that’s why I misdiagnosed."

Director Yan, who is about fifty-two or fifty-three years old, was considered a relatively young chief physician.

He certainly had the capability.

But perhaps he didn’t adjust his mentality well for this competition.

Maybe seeing a small figure like Li Jingsheng succeed in winning two gold medals made him overconfident in his abilities, leading to his downfall in the first round of questions.

"In terms of diagnosis, I see Li Jingsheng is quite capable. You could use a team effort! Get Director Xiao and Dr. Li to help!"

Dean Jin’s face darkened upon hearing it wasn’t a missed diagnosis but a direct misdiagnosis by Director Yan.

Misdiagnosing the first question is like giving yourself a red card, directly eliminating yourself.

"It’s okay, I’ll be more careful next time."

Director Yan was unwilling to seek help from Li Jingsheng and Xiao Linlin.

Some chief physicians aren’t ashamed to ask questions and can let go of their pride, while others remain proud to their last days.

If they were to seek help from Li Jingsheng and Director Xiao, they should have given a heads-up before the competition began.

Xiao Linlin initially was similar to Director Yan, with a thin face, unable to let go of her pride.

Fortunately, she later decisively chose to seek help from Li Jingsheng.

She ultimately succeeded in winning a silver medal.
