Chapter 802: Chapter 374: Rapid Blood Sedimentation, Female White-Collar’s Broken Arm Is a Blessing (Part 3)

She looked at Li Jingsheng with hopeful eyes.

"You should be able to undergo manual reduction treatment. However, I suspect there may be issues with your bones; let’s take a look at the situation first."

Li Jingsheng took her back to the consultation table and asked her to lie down on the examination bed in the back.

She seemed to have a cleanliness obsession, and when Han Siying helped her lie down, she seemed somewhat reluctant.

Many women who live refined lives are rather particular.

They have high-quality requirements for what they eat, wear, and use.

Sometimes, men with lower incomes might genuinely struggle to support a refined girlfriend.

Some beautiful, refined women are particular about the food they eat, the houses they live in, and often choose mid-to-high-end brands for their clothes. Cosmetics are a major expense as well.

In Li Jingsheng’s experience, this woman with the fracture is probably someone an average man couldn’t afford.

Of course, a woman of her caliber generally wouldn’t even consider ordinary men.

Moreover, she has strong work capabilities herself; her income is likely more than ten times that of an average man.

"I’ll conduct a palpation examination on you; this process might be somewhat painful. Can you bear it?"

"Let’s give it a try! Am I allowed to scream and shout here?"

"Err... It’s definitely okay to shout when it hurts. If it becomes unbearable, I can administer a brachial anesthesia here."

"In that case, better give me the anesthesia! I’ve been afraid of pain since I was little. I never dare to look at the syringe in the nurse’s hand during injections."

"Alright, we might also use it during manual reduction later. However, brachial anesthesia can be somewhat painful as it requires injections at multiple points. Additionally, before we perform the brachial plexus anesthesia, we need to do a skin test. It requires waiting about ten minutes; are you allergic to any medication?"

"I haven’t found any drug allergies. You can test it before administering the anesthesia. Since I’m injured like this, work is disrupted whether I mind or not. Let me focus on treatment first before worrying about other things."

She seemed to take things in stride.

"Okay, then you lie here first. After the anesthesia takes effect, I’ll come back for the palpation examination and manual reduction. I must clarify one point in advance, though — although from the X-ray images, I can perform manual reduction on your fracture, if I find any severe bone disease during palpation, and I believe manual reduction isn’t advisable, then you’ll need to consider other treatment options at a larger hospital."

Li Jingsheng had to make things clear to her.

Otherwise, after taking the X-ray and administering the anesthesia, if I then told her treatment isn’t possible, she’d likely feel very disappointed.

It’d easily lead to conflicts then.

If explained beforehand, she can accept it.

"No problem. Hopefully, manual reduction will work. I’m really scared of surgery."

She gladly accepted what Li Jingsheng told her.

Sometimes, communicating with enlightened and educated patients like her is indeed less worrisome.

...

Over twenty minutes later, Meng Luo informed Li Jingsheng that the brachial anesthesia had taken effect for that female office worker.

Li Jingsheng went inside for the palpation examination.

As soon as he touched her forearm’s radius, he sensed something abnormal.

After further palpation examination, he finally understood why this woman ended up with such a severe fracture from merely bumping into a doorframe.

"Your bone quality isn’t good; the osteoporosis is quite serious. Do you often consume relatively monotonous food?"

For busy office workers like her, often when busy, there’s no time to eat proper meals.

Having missed mealtime, they usually settle for a quick bowl of instant noodles.
