Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90: Chapter 90: The Veteran Is Here to School the Coach

"Procrastination!"

Li Jingsheng only responded with two words.

That’s just how he is. When he’s truly decided on something, he’ll go through hell and high water without regret.

Just like when he decided to quit his job to open a clinic. Once decided, he actually dared to resign.

At the time, family and friends thought he was foolish for giving up a stable job to mess around on his own.

Ou Qinglan watched Li Jingsheng with a hint of nervousness.

At first, everyone thought Doctor Xu was deliberately trying to scare Li Jingsheng away. Now things have developed to this point, everyone realizes Xu Feng is really going crazy.

"Close your eyes, relax, don’t be so tense. Feel my hand carefully."

Doctor Xu held his arm.

"The main components of the shoulder joint are the glenoid cavity of the scapula and the head of the humerus. Feel their connection structure closely, then compare it with the skeletal anatomy diagrams in books. Remember, every joint is not simply a few bones put together, but a complex of muscles, ligaments, blood vessels, nerves, skin, and fat. To pull it out of the glenoid cavity, all you need is a precise pull at the right spot."

Crack!

"Uh..."

Li Jingsheng let out a muffled groan, and pain surged from his left shoulder.

When he opened his eyes, he was horrified to find his left shoulder had been dislocated. His entire left arm was now powerless.

It’s not as painful as he imagined.

He could feel Doctor Xu disassembling his left shoulder with the ease of dismantling a simple toy.

"Did you feel the process of the shoulder joint dislocating from the glenoid cavity?"

"A bit too quick, only felt a little."

Li Jingsheng said as he bore a slightly painful expression on his face.

With his left shoulder dislocated, could it not be painful?

Now his left hand was supported by Doctor Xu, otherwise, it would be even more painful.

"Close your eyes, closely feel how I put the shoulder joint back in place. Remember, you must act according to the situation, don’t use brute force. If the muscle group in the shoulder area of the patient is tense, at this time don’t perform repositioning operation. Find ways to reduce the patient’s pain and inner fear, wait until the muscles are in a relaxed and natural state, then gently guide the humeral end back into the glenoid cavity."

Speaking, Doctor Xu gently rotated Li Jingsheng’s left hand and then lifted upward.

The dislocated shoulder joint instantly returned to its original position.

The entire process was a bit painful but still bearable.

"Carefully recall the anatomical structure of the shoulder joint and connect it with the key points of the movements I just made."

Although Doctor Xu was unapproachable and eccentric, he was extremely patient when teaching.

He continued to support Li Jingsheng’s left arm, giving him ample time to recall the entire operation process just now.

Such hands-on teaching is ten times more effective than Li Jingsheng reading books, watching videos, or listening to senior doctors’ explanations. Each movement’s operation key points, the process, and the repositioning principles could all clearly present themselves in his mind.

After about seventeen or eighteen minutes, he seemed to have understood and memorized it almost completely.

He opened his eyes.

"How was it? Do you understand the key points of the repositioning technique? This is just the simplest shoulder joint repositioning. Some patients have special conditions, making the reposition ten times more difficult than this."

Doctor Xu’s tone clearly softened significantly.

Not as cold as before.

Since Li Jingsheng agreed to let him dislocate his shoulder, Doctor Xu’s attitude towards Li Jingsheng had imperceptibly changed.

"I basically understand most of the operational key points, but there are still some parts I’m not grasping, like when you initially dislocated the shoulder joint, I only noticed the process of rotating the arm..."

Li Jingsheng never thought learning medicine could be learned this way.

It was like a new window had opened, he had seen a different world, learning a different method.

"I’ll do it again, this time a bit slower, but your pain will be more intense. You can’t do frequent operations in a short time; three times is the limit. Twice won’t have too much impact on your joint. So, I hope this time you’ll pay close attention to remembering every step and key point."

Doctor Xu taught him while operating.

"Left hand supports the patient’s shoulder. Grip these three positions to create a clasp effect, right hand holds the humerus. Once your technique becomes refined, you can also hold the forearm..."

Crack!

His left shoulder was dislocated again, and the pain intensified significantly.

However, all his focus was used to feel how to operate, and how the humerus of the shoulder joint slipped from the glenoid cavity.

This time, he noticeably gained many new insights.

The many details and key points of the operation he didn’t notice last time, he felt clearly this time.

"Don’t put it back yet, let me carefully digest everything again."

Li Jingsheng pleaded.

Doctor Xu supported his arm patiently waiting for him.

"If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask."

He seemed unapproachable, but actually not so.

Another nearly twenty minutes passed, and Li Jingsheng asked about some key points he hadn’t grasped, to which Doctor Xu answered each one patiently.

Li Jingsheng felt he had gained immensely.

He subtly grasped the repositioning technique and key points of the shoulder joint.

Dislocating it is actually slightly harder than putting it back. Knowing how to dislocate it, you’ll know how to put it back.

He instinctively checked the attribute panel.

Level experience points increased by 10 points.

A new medical skill appeared in the skills section.

Ordinary Osteopathic Skill, Entry Level 0/10.

He’s overjoyed.

It seems today’s pain was extremely worth it.

Not only did he manage to get Doctor Xu to agree to teach him Bone Setting, but he also quickly learned the Bone Setting skill he’d long dreamed of mastering.
