Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Dangerous Diarrhea

Doctor’s Level: Senior Resident Physician 553/1000.

Comfortable, directly increased by 52.1 experience points.

Under normal circumstances, handling ordinary cases increases very few experience points, diagnosing a common cold patient only adds 0.1 experience points.

A slightly more difficult case can increase more than 1 point.

Increasing so much at once, as expected, is definitely because he successfully diagnosed a tuberculosis case that even major hospitals misdiagnosed.

Tuberculosis and early-stage lung cancer are highly similar in both symptoms and imaging results.

Sometimes even the sputum smear results can be negative.

This makes misdiagnosis more likely.

For him, a doctor in a small clinic, to successfully correct this misdiagnosis under simple conditions is truly challenging.

The gains from this are also substantial.

Especially in the comprehensive application of medical knowledge in clinical practice, and connecting similar symptoms through family members for diagnosis, this was the first time.

Overturning the diagnosis from major hospitals was also a first.

Daring to challenge authority, to deny the diagnosis results of authoritative doctors, requires immense courage and insight for this small clinic doctor.

This kind of leap in growth, adding 50 points of level experience, is truly not too much at all.

Pulmonary Medicine Mastery 111.9/500.

Pulmonary diagnosis proficiency increased by 11 points.

If guessing correctly, one point comes from several patients with colds and coughs, and the other 10 proficiency points come from successfully diagnosing two tuberculosis patients.

Life Points: 257.

Increasing by 107 points, with 7 points from ordinary patients.

The sudden increase of 100 points comes from the elderly with tuberculosis.

Seeing life points being used more and more, he can’t help but sigh, spending life points to improve doctor’s level and medical skills is the real deal.

If he was still at his previous mediocre level, neither the old lady with the heart problem, nor the old man with a boil on his back, or Ms. Ou with acute bronchitis from pollen allergies, or the father and daughter with tuberculosis, could be diagnosed or treated.

Thus, he realizes that only by continually spending life points to improve medical skill levels can he possibly earn back more life points.

Spending doesn’t mean spending recklessly.

But rather saving for critical moments, spending life points on the ’blade’.

Whether surgical skills or orthopedic skills, many require access to the operating room or outpatient clinic at major hospitals to learn.

Reading books, watching teaching videos, buying tools to practice - it’s difficult to enter the field this way.

"I’m running a clinic here, and I don’t have the opportunity to work at a major hospital! First, I need to handle the rent hurdle; once there’s some money in hand, finding an orthopedic doctor for private learning might be a good idea."

However, the best way is still to follow an old doctor to the outpatient clinic, to the operating room to learn.

For example, manual shoulder joint reduction.

You need to watch the senior doctor’s operation, detailed explanation of the manual reduction techniques, and hands-on practice to possibly rapidly learn.

Just listening to the teacher’s explanation to try to entry-level, very difficult.

Guided, hands-on teaching, that is the most ideal.

At this moment, a young man holding a bag in his left hand and a newspaper in his right hand poked his head in.

Glancing around, he found only Li Jingsheng alone in the clinic.

Possibly feeling a bit deserted, he prepared to leave.

"May I ask who you’re looking for? Is there anything you need?"

Li Jingsheng noticed him.

The man was wearing dark gray trousers, with shoes covered in dust, a striped shirt, and a deep red tie on his upper body.

Wearing glasses, his figure slightly skinny.

Judging from his attire, he should be a programmer or a salesperson.

"I saw the report about your clinic in the Urban Daily, and just happen to have a bit of diarrhea lately, so I wanted to ask if there’s any anti-diarrheal medicine here?"

The man walked in.

As soon as he approached, Li Jingsheng smelled a sour odor.

Possibly caused by sweating all day.

However, this sour smell was quite strong, possibly because he hasn’t showered for two days after sweating.

In internet cafes, you can often smell this pungent odor.

Some ’experts’ for gaming, soaking in internet cafes day and night, don’t go home, don’t shower, eventually their bodies stink.

"I do have anti-diarrheal medicine here, but it needs to be tailored to your symptoms. How long have you had diarrhea?"

"It’s been three to four days! Recently the project deadlines are tight, basically only going home once every two days. Stayed up Monday night writing code, and the next day started having diarrhea. I thought I’d get better, but instead, it’s getting worse. Now the stomach feels a bit painful, on and off, and I keep wanting to use the bathroom."

The man indeed seemed to be a programmer.

Jiangli City has a high-tech development zone, about half an hour’s drive from here.

Many young people working in the high-tech development zone rent houses in the Old Street of South City to save on rent. Rent is cheap here, living costs are low, and there’s a plethora of local snacks available.

The best part is the atmosphere.

It attracts a large number of young workers to rent and live here.

They scatter during the day and return to live at night.

Some lucky ones save enough and eventually buy houses in the high-tech development zone.

Once the lucky ones who buy houses move out, more young people in their twenties who just graduated from school move in, and so the cycle continues.

Those who can successfully buy houses through hard work eventually take root in this city, merging into it.

Those who can’t earn enough, facing no hope after their thirties, either go back home or move to other cities.

Programmer income is considered quite high.

The minimum is seven to eight thousand/month.

This young man, around twenty-eight or twenty-nine, is likely trying to rewrite his destiny through hard work, aiming to own a house in this city.

Reality is very cruel, without a house, it’s hard to get married.

Men are fighting hard to find a wife.
