The first question was high-level, a description of wrist joint lunate dislocation.
The wrist joint is very complex, and lunate dislocation is relatively common. It is difficult to treat, has a long recovery time, and easily leaves behind functional disabilities, amounting to mild disability.
Li Jingsheng tried hard to recall the skeletal structure of the wrist he had learned, as well as the common conditions of lunate dislocation.
"The dislocated lunate appears triangular, its X-ray projection overlaps with the lower end of the capitate bone..."
His theoretical foundation was still solid, plus he had just reviewed it in the past few days. Although he didn’t answer swiftly, he managed to respond fluently.
Fourteen questions were quickly completed by him.
They covered various joints and bony structures throughout the human body, regular treatment of injuries, medication and prognosis for bone injuries, and other knowledge.
Though there were only fourteen questions, they were carefully selected and basically tested his mastering of orthopedic knowledge.
Other doctors in the same department heard that he was going to apprentice under Doctor Xu, and couldn’t help but gaze at him curiously.
It was common knowledge that Doctor Xu did not take on apprentices.
Now looking at the situation, Doctor Xu seemed to have relaxed his stance.
At least willing to give Li Jingsheng a chance.
They all speculated about Li Jingsheng’s background.
After all, not long ago, even Dean Jin’s nephew was ruthlessly rejected by Doctor Xu.
Ou Qinglan was the one most concerned about this matter.
Besides being friends with Li Jingsheng privately, the two had made a bet.
Li Jingsheng boasted that one day he would invite Doctor Xu to his small clinic to diagnose and treat patients, which she found utterly fanciful at the time. Now Li Jingsheng had taken the first step, Doctor Xu willing to pose questions for him to answer, indicating some looseness about taking him as a disciple.
This left Ou Qinglan feeling uneasy.
When she bet with Li Jingsheng, thinking she would surely win, she readily accepted his stake.
Now she realized belatedly that she had been too impulsive at that time.
Li Jingsheng’s stake was that if he won, she must agree to one thing he asked.
What exactly, Li Jingsheng did not disclose.
This was the most troublesome part.
What if Li Jingsheng wanted her to become his wife? Even worse, if he wanted her to become his mistress... It was a bit late to regret now.
She could only comfort herself; even if Li Jingsheng really succeeded in apprenticing, it would be nearly impossible to invite Doctor Xu to work at his small clinic.
From a third-level hospital to a small clinic, even a fool knows how to choose.
"Doctor Xu, I’ve finished answering. Please take a look."
Li Jingsheng handed over the paper with both hands to Doctor Xu.
Doctor Xu, upon receiving it, squinted and scrutinized carefully.
"Hmm, okay, barely passable."
Doctor Xu’s words made Li Jingsheng beam with joy.
In contrast, Ou Qinglan’s heart sank directly to the bottom; she was finished, it seemed there was a real possibility of losing this bet. What should she do if he demanded something unreasonable?
Should she break the agreement?
She hadn’t expected Li Jingsheng to be so capable, not only strong in surgical skills but also in orthopedic knowledge.
Why, with such abilities, did he insist on opening a small clinic?
She found it somewhat puzzling.
With Li Jingsheng’s competence, even in a third-level hospital like the Second Hospital, he could make significant achievements. As long as he was willing to work hard, he might be regarded as a key figure in the department and his future would be immensely bright.
Opening a clinic, though free from constraints, generally speaking, many clinic-opening doctors ended up in dismal circumstances.
Lesser-known doctors opening clinics must at least prepare for continued losses for over three years.
"Want to learn Bone Setting Skill from me?"
Doctor Xu stared at Li Jingsheng, his intimidating gaze exerting immense pressure on Li Jingsheng.
It seemed capable of seeing through his inner thoughts.
"Yes!"
