Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 636

Chapter 636: Chapter 292: Promotion in Status, the Dean’s Conditions (Part 2)

Learning from Doctor Xu’s lesson, he never acknowledges a student as an apprentice from the start, nor does he immediately teach them the core bone setting techniques. Instead, he first tests their temperament, character, and talent, only formally accepting them when the time is right and the water flows naturally.

Due to Doctor Xu’s absence from work, plus the three-day-long competition, many cases had piled up.

Some patients would rather wait for three days for manual therapy.

Especially for some patients with underlying diseases or those whose physical condition does not allow for surgery, manual therapy is their only option.

At noon, he did not go to the orthopedic office.

After quickly finishing his meal, without time to rest, he returned to the manual bone-setting clinic to work.

When encountering suitable simple cases, he would consciously give Dr. Chen some hands-on opportunities.

By the time it was past seven in the afternoon, Li Jingsheng was both exhausted and starving, unable to hold on any longer.

"Teacher Li, how many patients are still outside?"

"This is already the last one!"

Li Li said with a smile.

"Luckily, you were smart and limited the number. How many patients have we treated in total today?"

Li Jingsheng praised her.

There were just too many orthopedic patients, coupled with the Second Hospital’s relentless promotion for revenue creation, which attracted patients from other cities and even other provinces to seek treatment.

Doctors and hospitals are always at odds on this point.

Hospitals and departments only care about revenue generation but never about the limits of doctors’ workloads.

Doctor Xu’s decision to limit daily patients to a fixed number might have been correct.

His own health was already compromised, and high work intensity could easily cause relapses.

Restricted daily treatment might seem heartless, but it’s actually to ensure the opportunity to treat more patients overall.

If he collapses from exhaustion, all patients would have to seek care elsewhere.

"Today, we saw a total of sixty-one patients, with fifty-four effectively treated."

Li Li checked the statistics before answering.

Effective treatment means the number of people who received treatment.

Among sixty-one patients, fifty-four were effectively treated. This effective treatment rate is astonishingly high.

Li Jingsheng has now surpassed his predecessors.

Under normal circumstances, at least one out of three orthopedic patients would need to be sent to the inpatient department for surgery.

This is for a high-level doctor like Doctor Xu.

If it’s Dr. Chen, who is less skilled, treating one out of every ten with manual therapy would already be considered good.

"Limit the numbers the day after tomorrow as well, still issuing sixty slots."

Li Jingsheng told her.

"No problem, I’ll call the information department to inform them."

She was quite happy to hear that Li Jingsheng would continue to limit the numbers.
