Chapter 825: Chapter 386: Director Xue Turns Sour, the Hospital Steps In Directly_2

Even more exaggerated, Director Zhang let him take the lead in surgery.

Just two words: intimidating.

There was even a bit of absurdity in it.

Unknowingly, Li Jingsheng’s status in his mind had risen another notch.

"You’re too kind, I’m just a jack-of-all-trades. Now that the issue with this female patient has been resolved, I’ll return to the orthopedic outpatient department. Thank you, Director Xue, for your generous hospitality. Goodbye, all my teachers."

Li Jingsheng resolved the matter and immediately excused himself and left.

"Come by more often in the future! I’m usually here."

Director Xue urged from behind.

"I will. Having gotten familiar faces this time, it will be convenient to ask each of you for advice whenever I encounter any problems in the future."

Li Jingsheng remained exceedingly humble.

Watching his departing figure, Director Xue looked on with envy and murmured to himself, "If only our Orthopedic Department could produce such a genius, there’d be no concern about flourishing! Sigh, everyone, let’s work together harder!"

...

Li Jingsheng returned to the clinic to continue his work.

After work, Director Hua had already taken off his white coat, wearing dress pants and a shirt, with a tie, and a jacket on top.

He looked quite presentable.

The chief physicians at the hospital are actually all impressive.

When they attend important academic conferences or slightly significant occasions, each one of them is charismatic and has a very strong presence.

"Jingsheng, not finished yet?"

Director Hua now rarely called him Xiaoli.

Especially after Li Jingsheng went for a consultation on that critically ill patient at People’s Hospital, Director Hua’s regard for him had noticeably increased.

The entire Orthopedic Department only had such an outstanding sapling, so it was natural to value it.

"This is the last patient. Traction still needs a bit more time."

Li Jingsheng replied.

"I’ll wait for you outside."

"Okay, I’ll come out as soon as I’m done."

Li Jingsheng responded.

There are various types of traction; traction for outpatient manual reduction is generally a short-term process.

If it’s in the inpatient department, some traction might take several days.

This process is quite painful.

Steel pins are driven into the bones, connected with steel cables, and then pulled according to the doctor’s intention.

This process should not be rushed. Every now and then, a doctor checks, and if the bone has been successfully pulled to the correct position, they continue tightening the cable, possibly adjusting the traction direction slightly.

During the entire traction process, if it involves a hand, the hand being pulled must not move.

You hold it halfway up all the time.

One can imagine how painful this process is.

Li Jingsheng touched the patient’s right elbow joint; the bone traction was still insufficient.

His brows furrowed.

"Move about three degrees to the right, and apply a little more force."

He immediately instructed Yang Luqing to make adjustments.

"Good, good, very good, this is the angle, and increase the force slightly."

"Alright, maintain this force and direction. Jin Yanyu, come over and stabilize the patient’s upper body."

Having a few students under him was quite beneficial.

No matter if it was a male or female patient, there was always someone to stabilize their body.

Manual reduction can sometimes be quite violent.

The bone-setting doctor needs to exert themselves with gritted teeth.

This time, Li Jingsheng pushed forward slowly, then raised it gently upwards.

The elevate-squeeze technique was used expertly, at an expert level.

After repositioning, he felt the bone.

The patient’s elbow joint was already back to normal, and the fracture site had achieved initial repositioning.

"It might be a bit painful next, bear with it!"

After greeting the patient, Li Jingsheng applied pressure without drawing attention.

He was satisfied only after the fracture gap completely closed.

"Bring over the splint."

"Liu Xian, this time, you apply the splint. It’s challenging, so handle it well."

Among the five doctors under Li Jingsheng, Liu Xian was the most talented.

Apart from being short and somewhat introverted, everything else was quite good.

In terms of character, nothing problematic had been observed so far.

But since Liu Xian rarely spoke, it was hard to know what he truly thought deep down. It made him seem somewhat inscrutable.

"Dr. Li, I can handle splinting too."

Dr. Chen, watching from the side, felt a bit sour and volunteered to recommend himself to Li Jingsheng.

"It’s not like you haven’t been given a chance to practice. Focus on mastering the basic bone-setting techniques; it’s more important than anything else. Among the four of them, anyone who joined later than you already surpassed you in those basic techniques that still worry me."

In front of everyone, Li Jingsheng was leaving him some dignity.

As the senior apprentice, having learned from Doctor Xu before now, and having studied under Li Jingsheng for a long time,

his skills were yet trailing behind Ye Hui and the others.

The gap was still widening.

It can’t be entirely blamed on talent; it’s primarily an issue of self-positioning.

The most feared thing is having ambitions not matching skills.

If you’re not talented and always aim unrealistically high, can you progress?

"I practice every day!"

"Practicing isn’t enough; you have to focus, concentrate. Don’t think of anything else during this period, just go home and focus on mastering the basic bone-setting techniques. Practice one technique at a time. Master one before moving to the next."

Li Jingsheng offered improvement suggestions.

"Understood! I’ll follow your advice when I get home today."

Dr. Chen’s redeeming feature is his good attitude in admitting mistakes, but he just refuses to change.

"Simply understanding isn’t enough; you have to remember it. From now on, I’ll assess you every week, and I need to see improvement, or I’ll have to penalize you."

Li Jingsheng, in an effort to assist him, had indeed gone to great lengths.
