Chapter 858: Chapter 405: A Mature Doctor Considers All Angles—Severe Mouse Poisoning?

The surgery hasn’t even been performed yet, and they’re already saying Ou Qinglan is the hero.

This implies that there are many aspects of the surgery relying heavily on Li Jingsheng.

"Dr. Li, this patient has developed a bone tumor in the vertebra, along with osteoporosis and a compression fracture. We currently plan to perform tumor removal surgery first, followed by a percutaneous vertebroplasty."

Professor Wu introduced the patient’s basic condition.

No wonder Professor Wu attaches such high importance to this surgery and holds great expectations. For the underperforming second group, a patient like this is indeed a rare opportunity.

The application of bone cement isn’t very widespread.

Typically, only elderly patients choose this medical technique.

Think about it—injecting cement into the body, no matter how safe the doctors claim it to be, very few are willing to try it.

Li Jingsheng glanced at the surgical site of the patient.

With his understanding of human bones, he could practically tell at a glance that this patient’s vertebra was already fractured.

As for the tumor, it must be palpated to be assessed.

The difficulty of this surgery is extremely high, and even Professor Wu’s team working together finds it hard to handle.

Li Jingsheng’s surgical skills have greatly improved, and he is now capable of taking on major responsibilities. He can manage the most challenging parts of the surgery like incision, separation, and removal.

With him assisting in fracture repair, the safety is significantly increased.

The quality of fracture repair is also guaranteed.

...

After assisting Professor Wu in completing the surgery, Li Jingsheng hurriedly returned to the clinic to see his patients.

He was already more than ten minutes late.

Fortunately, the doctors under him were dependable and kept the patients calm.

Regarding manual repositioning, Li Jingsheng now rarely encounters cases he cannot handle.

If even he can’t reposition it, it means the patient’s problem is very serious. Other doctors most likely can’t reposition it either.

Moreover, his bone-setting techniques are continually improving.

But after achieving such prowess, advancing further has become incredibly challenging.

All he can do is to accumulate experience over time and improve gradually.

That said, his current bone-setting skills are already entirely sufficient.

The saved life points are needed to upgrade other medical skills.

Upon returning to the clinic, Li Jingsheng quickly immersed himself in work, treating all kinds of patients one after another.

Not every patient suffers from fractures.

Some have bone diseases, and others just soft tissue injuries.

He can basically treat them all.

Each time he cures a patient, Li Jingsheng feels a great sense of accomplishment and immense joy.

Like someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder, he hopes that every patient that comes to him leaves cured.

"Doctor, please take a look at my husband. Can his lumbar disc be treated?"

A woman in her thirties pushed her husband into the clinic room on a wheelchair.

Li Jingsheng examined the bones with his hands.

"His lumbar disc has herniated!"

The third and fourth lumbar discs have herniated.

If his hand wasn’t injured, he could treat it.

Right now, it’s not treatable.

Because this requires the simultaneous use of both hands, and demands high precision with regard to force points, strength, angle, and coordination between both hands applying force.

"Can it be treated? We came from a long way away."

The woman asked hopefully.

"Sorry, not only does he have a herniated lumbar disc, but also lateral curvature of the spine. Manual repositioning is too difficult. I can’t treat it right now."

Li Jingsheng did not make the patient wait to return in half a month’s time.

Because doctors must be responsible for their words and deeds.

If the patient trusts his words and goes home to wait, what if during the wait they die, or become completely paralyzed? Who takes responsibility for that?

He is already a mature doctor.

He would not say anything that holds risk, or could mislead patients or their families.

The woman turned pale after hearing this.

The male patient sat in the wheelchair with a somewhat numb expression.

Perhaps it wasn’t the first time he heard a doctor say it couldn’t be treated; he had gotten used to it after hearing it numerous times.

"I heard your medical skills are excellent. We traveled all this way. Can you at least try to treat my husband? Even if it doesn’t work, I won’t blame you."

"Sorry, if the problem was in his limbs or a lower-risk area, I might give it a try. But it’s the lumbar area that’s problematic, and the risk is too high. I really can’t attempt it."

Li Jingsheng refused once again.

"Alright! Thank you!"

The woman left with a face of gloom, pushing her husband away.

After the patient left, Jin Yanyu asked, somewhat puzzled, "Teacher, weren’t you able to treat such patients before? Can you not treat them now because of your arm injury?"

"Yes. Treating such a herniated disc requires great strength. Particularly since the patient also has a scoliosis, the risk is very high. You all must refrain from attempting anything when meeting patients with risks beyond your capacity in the future. It can quickly lead to big problems."

Li Jingsheng looked at several students, instructing them.

To shape a renowned doctor, it takes ten years or even a lifetime. But to ruin a doctor, one mishap is enough.

"Why didn’t you tell the family they could come back when your hand heals?"

"Firstly, I can’t be certain when my hand will heal. Secondly, if we tell the patient to wait at home, they may lose many options. If they find out I can’t treat it, they can go elsewhere to inquire and try.

Once my hand heals, I can call to ask if the patient has been treated, which will be better."

Li Jingsheng’s attitude towards Jin Yanyu has obviously improved significantly now.
