Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99: Chapter 98: Master Level Gastrointestinal Diagnosis

He knew very well that the main reason for this situation was the lack of various examination data, and his own limited ability in gastrointestinal diagnosis was also a significant factor.

His current level of gastrointestinal diagnosis was at a proficient level, equivalent to that of a senior resident physician.

Placed in the hospital’s inpatient department, he was considered a backbone physician in charge of the ward.

But it was not enough to handle things independently.

At least a level of attending physician was required to begin having the ability to manage things independently.

Li Jingsheng gritted his teeth and decided to spend a large sum of life value points to upgrade his gastroenterology diagnosis to the Master Level before thinking about anything else.

This medical art was used very frequently, and the small clinic was doing well now, with a considerable number of gastrointestinal patients every day.

Gastroenterology Proficiency 22.7/100.

It required 78 life value points to upgrade it.

He remembered his life value balance was 184 points yesterday.

After seeing patients all day today, he should have seen a dozen or so, but none were difficult cases,

all of them were ordinary patients.

He didn’t receive any enthusiastic patient praises either, just polite thanks.

He estimated his life value wouldn’t increase much.

Because, based on experience, diagnosing an ordinary patient could only increase his life value by 1 point, and after curing them, he could gain another 1 point.

From prescribing to curing, it would take at least three to five days.

Diseases come like a mountain falling, but go like silk being unraveled!

So he estimated his life value balance would be at most around 196 points.

But when he checked the attribute panel, he was surprised to find unexpected gains.

His life value balance reached 297 points.

That’s a whole 101 points more than anticipated.

How did this come about?

Thinking hard, it certainly wasn’t from diagnosing patients. Because all the patients today were just regular cases.

So there were only two possibilities left.

The first was learning the advanced Bone Setting technique Bone Touching Skill with Doctor Xu. However, he had only learned part of the Bone Touching Skill and hadn’t even reached the Entry Level, so this couldn’t have increased his life value.

The second was saving that beggar.

After some thought, rescuing the beggar seemed the most likely way he gained 101 life value points.

He diagnosed the beggar, earning 1 life value point, and saved the beggar from a road-raging driver, gaining 100 life value points.

That must be how it happened.

If he had known he had so much life value, he wouldn’t have hesitated at all!

He lavishly spent life value points to upgrade his gastroenterology diagnosis by 78 points.

"Awesome! Even after upgrading this skill to the Master Level, I still have 219 life value points left."

Successfully upgrading his gastroenterology diagnosis to the Master Level, his diagnostic ability in this area was now unparalleled.

Firstly, his understanding of gastrointestinal medical knowledge deepened significantly.

Previously, his understanding of gastric and intestinal mechanisms and related functions only went a little deeper than textbook knowledge, allowing him to diagnose some simple or slightly complex gastrointestinal diseases and analyze the pathology.

Now it was different; he had a systematic and comprehensive understanding of the stomach and even the esophagus, cardia, and duodenum connected to it.

Moreover, this understanding was quite deep.

He knew the interrelated mechanisms between them.

The knowledge of intestinal medicine was even more advanced, including the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, appendix, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, and so on. He had a clearer and deeper understanding of their mechanisms and diagnostic capabilities for diseases.

For each segment of the intestine, he could make a relatively accurate initial judgment on possible symptoms and adverse reactions.

Besides, he also had a comprehensive diagnostic ability for common gastrointestinal inflammations, ulcers, bacterial infections, viral infections, and even tumors.

Don’t underestimate the difference between a junior attending level and a senior resident level; it’s like the difference between soldiers and generals.

Even the most capable senior resident physicians could only lead a small team; their diagnostic ability and knowledge were relatively narrow. At the junior attending level, however, he had elevated to a ’general’ status, having a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the entire field of gastrointestinal diseases.

With his current level of gastrointestinal diagnosis, he could fully stand out in a large hospital like the Second Hospital, gradually developing the ability to handle things independently.

He could assist the chief physician in easing their burdens.

While the proficient level of gastrointestinal diagnosis provided foundational comprehensive diagnostic capabilities, this advancement to the Master Level granted him comprehensive and systematic diagnostic abilities.

Diagnosing patients now, he was noticeably more composed and confident.

"The patient’s temperature is normal now; have they already recovered from the fever?"

With improved diagnostic abilities, he quickly thought of a possibility.
