Chapter 681: Chapter 313: Training Disciples—Talent Truly Matters

The next day, he went to the hospital for work and specifically went to the ward to check on Professor Di’s condition.

"Dr. Li, you’re here so early! Have you had breakfast? I’ve got buns and dumplings here, untouched."

The elderly lady greeted him warmly with a smile.

Standing beside her was a sophisticated woman in her late thirties with a graceful demeanor.

"Thank you, auntie. I’ve had breakfast! Is there anything unusual with Professor Di? I’m about to start my shift in the outpatient department, but I still feel a bit uneasy, so I came by to check."

"Our Old Di hasn’t been sleeping well these past few days. But last night, he slept soundly; you see, he’s still sleeping now!"

The elderly lady said happily.

"Haha, after so many days of insomnia and with injuries to boot, getting plenty of rest will help him recover more quickly. The body’s immunity relies entirely on sleep for recovery."

Li Jingsheng glanced at Professor Di snoring lightly.

He chuckled to himself, thinking how well the old man could sleep.

"Xiaohong, this is the doctor who healed your father, Li Jingsheng. He’s our savior. If anything had happened to your father, I wouldn’t know what to do!"

The elderly lady introduced to the sophisticated woman beside her.

"Thank you! I’m Di Hong. I usually have a very busy work schedule, and these past few days have been quite stressful for our family because of my dad. My brother has even prepared to ask for leave from his company to come back home for a visit."

The sophisticated woman extended her right hand towards him.

Her wrist was quite slender, with no watch on either wrist, only a few loops of dark red beads.

A delicate diamond ring on her left ring finger indicated she was married.

Women in their late thirties often have children and are soon to become mothers.

The two shook hands out of courtesy.

After checking on Professor Di, Li Jingsheng said to the two family members, "He seems to be doing well. Make sure to protect the injured area when he goes to the bathroom to avoid any secondary fracture on the repositioned area. After a few days of good rest, he should recover to a relatively ideal state. You could choose to go home for recuperation once you’re ready. While the conditions here are decent, home is certainly more comfortable."

"Old Di will be very happy to hear this news once he wakes up. Honestly, I’ve been dreaming of taking my husband home safely."

The elderly lady, given her age, found hospital caregiving exhausting.

If she stayed a few more days, she might end up falling ill herself.

...

Back in the Manual Reduction Clinic, Li Jingsheng guided two new students in bone setting for the patient without much mention.

It’s not easy to recruit students suitable for learning manual bone setting.

Even though his criteria weren’t particularly high, it was still tough to find a group of satisfactory apprentices.

Ye Hui, although a female doctor, had exceptional talent in feeling the bones and manual bone setting techniques.

Having been learning with Li Jingsheng for only a few days, she had already performed outstandingly multiple times.

In a previous private conversation, he told her to strengthen her theoretical studies in orthopedics, and she seemed to have taken it to heart.

When he asked some questions, her responses showed obvious improvement.

Yang Luqing was a more balanced student in terms of theory and bone-setting talent.

Greater strength wasn’t necessarily an advantage.

Manual bone setting sometimes required great force, but in most instances, subtlety was key to repositioning the bones successfully for the patient.

Brute force wouldn’t do.

Overall, the performance of both students was quite good.

Dr. Chen, though their ’senior fellow,’ had average talent and progressed quite slowly.

All he could do was endure and persist.

The good part was his enthusiasm for learning manual bone setting remained high.

Whatever you do, passion is the most important thing.

Only when you’re interested and passionate about it will you strive, put effort into it, and study attentively.

"Doctor, could you take a look at my wife’s arm for manual treatment? She fell off her bike while buying groceries this morning and can’t lift her right hand."

A man in his forties accompanied a woman in her late thirties seeking medical advice.

The woman’s right arm hung limply as she occasionally grimaced in pain.

"Did you take an X-ray?"

"Yes, we initially consulted Dr. Ruan Xiaoqin from your hospital. After examining the X-ray, he advised us to seek manual reduction treatment here. If it doesn’t work, we’ll go back to him for hospitalization and surgery."

When surgery and hospitalization were mentioned, the family seemed a bit reluctant.

"Today’s been unbelievably unlucky. While buying groceries, some little dog from who knows where dashed in front of me, causing me to fall."

The female patient complained.

Anyone would be angry in that situation.

Out of nowhere, she fell, and they couldn’t find the dog’s owner.

"The dog’s owner was really shameless, staying hidden. I reported it to the police immediately. However, the dog wasn’t found. The police checked the surveillance, saying they’d help locate the owner."

The man added to the conversation.

If the couple found that little dog, they might have been inclined to make a hot pot out of it.

For such matters, Li Jingsheng never meddled more than necessary.

Doctors should only do their jobs.

Unless encountering patients with special injuries, he might inquire further or even call the police.

For example, encountering suspected drug addicts, obvious sharp instrument injuries, domestic violence, etc., doctors usually report to the hospital leadership, then call the police.

Li Jingsheng examined the X-rays and palpated the woman’s bones.

"Ye Hui, help her reposition the shoulder joint!"

He directly instructed Ye Hui to do the procedure, stirring a bit of envy in Dr. Chen and Yang Luqing.

Dr. Chen had long mastered this simple shoulder joint repositioning and could complete it independently.

But when faced with slightly more complex cases, like patients with overly firm muscles, he might not manage.

"Sure thing!"

Ye Hui was delighted. After carefully reviewing the X-ray, she approached to perform the manual reduction for the patient.

"Hold on!"
