"Alright then! Please help us with the treatment!"
The child’s mother agreed.
"Dr. Li, I came here especially after seeing the report about you and Sunshine Clinic in the newspaper today at work. Please make sure to stitch up my son well. I live nearby at Sunshine Mansion."
She added a couple of sentences.
Although newspapers are in decline, this kind of positive news report has a far-reaching impact, and it’s very enduring.
Most importantly, such reports can leave a trustworthy impression of his small clinic in the public’s mind.
It can greatly enhance the positive image of the clinic.
Precisely because of its great benefits, Boss Zhao couldn’t hold it in and ended up having a heart attack from anger.
"Don’t worry, I will do my best. Children are the future of our nation, and I’ll do everything I can to leave no scar."
Li Jingsheng promised, while pondering which stitching method to use.
Since the wound isn’t particularly long, six to seven stitches should be sufficient.
In his understanding, it’s not the closer the stitches, the better.
Stitching is essentially a secondary injury to the skin.
The wound is quite long, extending from the thenar region to the middle of the thumb.
"To stop bleeding, bind the proximal limb, but not for too long, usually about thirty minutes before releasing, to prevent ischemic necrosis at the limb’s end."
"Oh no, I’ve had it bound for quite a while; I need to loosen it quickly."
The female family member panicked upon hearing that.
"Don’t worry. When I checked the wound earlier, I observed that the blood supply to the left hand is still okay. If you’re really worried, I’ll loosen it for a while."
Seeing the female family member’s anxious face, Li Jingsheng decided to loosen the belt on the child’s left arm.
As soon as it loosened, blood immediately started gushing from the wound.
"It’s bleeding again, bleeding again, what should we do! Dr. Li, please treat my son quickly!"
The female family member stomped her foot anxiously seeing her son’s left hand bleeding again.
Her eyebrows were furrowed tightly.
Children are a piece of their mother’s flesh, and a mother’s love for their child is innate.
"Don’t worry!"
At this moment, his master level technique of pressure hemostasis came into play.
He pressed a little above the boy’s wound with his right thumb, a magical scene unfolded, and the bleeding quickly stopped.
"No wonder everyone praises your medical skills highly, you truly are competent."
The female family member felt even more trusting of Li Jingsheng after witnessing this scene.
Her tightly furrowed brows also relaxed significantly, and the anxiety and worry on her face faded a bit.
The quickest way to gain trust from families and patients is still through medical skills!
The female orthopedic doctor from the Second Hospital didn’t know when she had come over, but she was just standing silently by the side observing.
Seeing Li Jingsheng skillfully and accurately press the upper part of the wound to successfully stop the bleeding, she gave a slight appreciative look.
To say admiration would be far-fetched.
She worked in the Second Hospital’s Orthopedic Department, and had surely seen numerous brilliant surgeons.
Li Jingsheng’s surgical skills, within the clinic’s doctors, were outstanding.
But placed in the Second Hospital, it’s just ordinary level.
In a tertiary hospital, even the weakest is not something a small clinic doctor can rival.
Not to mention, the Second Hospital is a comprehensive hospital with decades of historical background, an absolute giant compared to Li Jingsheng.
"Do you need me to be a temporary nurse for you?"
The girl asked.
In front of the family members, she didn’t question why Li Jingsheng’s clinic didn’t have a nurse.
All medical staff, in front of family and patients, speak with particular caution.
This is just professional instinct.
Given the current harsh medical environment, every surviving healthcare worker has been through tough times.
"You’re a doctor from a major hospital, I’m afraid it might be a bit beneath you to be my nurse!"
Li Jingsheng was still considering whether to call Tang Ping over.
It would take about ten minutes to walk from her home to the clinic.
Seeing the family member’s anxious face, he feared she wouldn’t want to wait that long.
Now that the female doctor from the Second Hospital was willing to assist him temporarily, it was the best scenario.
"It’s no big deal! Where are the sutures, local anesthetic, needle holders, and other items?"
She didn’t care at all about her so-called noble status.
"In the treatment room!"
Li Jingsheng pointed to the treatment room inside.
The female family member, hearing that this woman was a doctor from a major hospital, looked at Li Jingsheng with even more admiration.
This little clinic’s doctor is no simple person, even attracting a lady doctor from a major hospital to collaborate.
"Alright, give me the belt, let’s tie it up again."
Li Jingsheng was still somewhat concerned about the female doctor’s professional skills.
After helping the young boy secure it, he directly led him into the treatment room.
The female family member followed them in.
In small clinics like this, even the smallest surgery, the family must supervise closely.
The family wants to see how you’re treating the child, simply put, they’re not at ease.
Once inside the treatment room, Li Jingsheng washed his hands, then went over to check the surgical package prepared by the female doctor.
"She’s truly a doctor from a major hospital, her professionalism is impressive!"
"This is just basic surgical practice! After washing my hands, I took disposable gowns and gloves, hope you don’t mind?"
She strictly adhered to sterile procedures.
This is basically a good habit for all major hospital doctors and nurses.
Sterile procedures for surgeries are ingrained deeply in every medical worker’s bones.
"Listen to you, this is all standard surgical consumption, I’m not that petty. That you would be my assistant is what’s truly overwhelming."
