Chapter 912: Chapter 453: Professor Wang Sets a Trap, Muscle Amnesia

Vascular plaques are often referred to as fibrous caps by doctors, and they are yellow.

Their interior is a lipid pool, and some larger plaques have correspondingly larger lipid cores inside. The main harm of vascular plaques is that they narrow the vascular lumen.

Now, in front of Li Jingsheng, they instead became a flaw that could be used to clear vascular blockage.

A rather unconventional discovery.

"Jingsheng, you’re truly impressive, even coming up with such an idea. But in practice, plaques are generally protrusions, so attempting to pass a guide wire through them is very difficult. It easily gets stuck. I’ve tried before, only to find the guide wire bend and become unusable. Your recent operation looked simple, but it requires a high level of skill."

Wang Weiwei himself is an expert in the field, and naturally wouldn’t view the issue superficially.

Being experts, they understand the difficulty involved.

"Yes, yes, Old Wang is right, your recent operation looked easy, but it might not work for others. It shows your intervention technique has made great strides recently, possibly even surpassing ours."

Luo Binggang also realized the crux of the problem.

"Jingsheng, since you have such skills, you should assume more responsibility. If we encounter patients with very high intervention difficulty, can we ask you to come and save them? With your operation, not only would the time be significantly shortened, but the success rate of opening the vessel would also be high, and thus the patients’ rescue success rate would greatly increase."

Wang Weiwei has long wanted to recruit Li Jingsheng.

But Li Jingsheng has always declined.

Seeing Li Jingsheng’s intervention skills advance rapidly and become so formidable, he realized immediately that having Li Jingsheng could save many lives.

Because after a heart attack, the rescue time is very short.

"Old Wang, I’m afraid I can only apologize. I’m either busy at the Orthopedic Clinic at the Second Hospital or in my own clinic, often facing emergencies that require overtime. It’s not that I don’t want to help, but I’m really stretched thin. If I were close to People’s Hospital, able to arrive in a few minutes, then maybe I could manage. It takes me at least half an hour to get there; I really don’t have that time."

Li Jingsheng’s day is already overbooked.

Expecting him to rush to People’s Hospital to save patients is somewhat unrealistic.

"You’re saying if you could get there in a few minutes, you wouldn’t decline, right?"

Wang Weiwei’s tone and expression seemed a bit like digging a pit.

"If I can get there in a few minutes, condition permitting, and save a life, I would certainly be more than willing. Old Wang, you’re not thinking about buying me a plane, are you?"

In Li Jingsheng’s mind, the only transportation that could get him to People’s Hospital in minutes was a plane; he couldn’t think of anything else.

"Haha, you’re really overthinking it. Although I have some savings, trying to afford a passenger plane is really beyond reach. You’ve agreed, so don’t back out later! Old Luo, be a witness."

Wang Weiwei laughed with pride, carrying some mysteriousness.

His tone suggested that he had considerable confidence regarding ensuring Li Jingsheng could reach People’s Hospital within minutes.

What method could he have?

"Yes, I heard it clearly. Xiaoli is a trustworthy person and surely wouldn’t back out."

Luo Binggang nodded seriously.

"Oh, Xiaoli, there’s also good news to tell you. Our recent SCI paper on in-depth discussions and innovations in intervention treatments is being cited more and gaining influence; it has already reached the standards of a second-tier SCI paper.

My mentor thinks it has the potential to enter the first-tier of SCI papers.

As the second author, it should greatly benefit you in future title evaluations and receiving distinctions."

Luo Binggang traveled a long way here for deeper research into intervention techniques.

He is himself a top expert in the domestic Cardiovascular Medicine field.

Collaborating with Wang Weiwei guaranteed an exceptional partnership.

With Li Jingsheng’s help, their team’s members are few but extremely strong.

The paper they co-authored was selected for SCI and climbed the ranks, simply demonstrating accumulated strength.

"Second-tier SCI paper, that’s something I never dared dream of before. I really made no significant contributions, just benefiting from the glory of you two old brothers."

Li Jingsheng was speaking candidly.

He participated in writing the paper but contributed few suggestions.

During the writing process, he learned a lot of techniques and hardcore knowledge from the two maestros.

"Don’t say that; the three of us working together can’t do without any of us. In terms of potential and importance, you’re not inferior to anyone. I’m telling you this news so you’ll find more time to join in research.

Nowadays, life standards are rising, national prosperity is growing, and many no longer need to engage in heavy physical labor as before.

With more time sitting and lying still, coupled with lack of exercise, the number of heart attack and thrombosis cases is increasing steadily.

If our team can thoroughly research intervention treatments and even establish a scientific industry standard, the merit would be immense.

Countless lives could be saved."

Luo Binggang shared his vision for the future.

"No problem, I’ll try to find more time to help."

Li Jingsheng readily agreed.

With advanced intervention skills, his status in the trio is significantly elevated.

In terms of treatment capabilities, it likely won’t be long before he surpasses the two maestros.

At that point, he won’t just be a colonoscopy master; he’ll become an intervention expert. Heart attack and stroke patients will have a savior.

...

The next day, Li Jingsheng was seeing patients at his own clinic.

A young female patient struggled to walk up to his desk.

"Miss, is it lower back pain?"

Li Jingsheng observed her holding her lower back, walking with great difficulty and showing a pained expression intermittently.

She looked like she had sprained her back.

"Don’t mention it. After a nap at work this afternoon, I woke up with severe lumbar pain, hardly able to walk, sore and painful, it’s unbearable. My dad told me it might be a lumbar disc herniation. He had it too and got better slowly with medication, though he couldn’t do heavy work. I heard from colleagues that your place treats all kinds of bone and joint diseases very effectively, so I rushed over."

The girl looked particularly young, around twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

The possibility of such a young person having a herniated lumbar disc is quite small.

However, prolonged poor sitting posture can indeed lead to a herniated lumbar disc.

"What kind of work do you do? Do you have to lift heavy objects?"

Li Jingsheng began to ask her some basic questions.

During lunch breaks at the company, I usually take a nap on the desk.

This can harm the lumbar spine to some extent, but it shouldn’t cause a herniated lumbar disc!

"I’m a secretary, and most of my work involves printing and editing documents. I spend a lot of time sitting in front of the computer, but as for lifting heavy objects, that’s something I’ve never done."

She explained.

"Have you ever had back pain before?"

There are two types of back pain, one that gradually worsens. This is the most common.

It often results from lifting heavy objects or staying crouched for too long, and after standing up, you feel back pain. But it usually improves with some rest.

If you’re more careful, it often gets better gradually, finally healing completely.

Another type is sudden back pain.

The most common is a back sprain, like a pulled muscle.

However, sudden lumbar pain is relatively rare.

"I’ve had pain before, but never as painful as this time. Previously, I would occasionally experience back pain, but I’d just rub it myself, rest more, and it would be fine. This time it’s sore and painful, and even after resting for a night, there’s no improvement.

Moreover, if I sit for just a little bit too long and then stand up, the pain is excruciating.

I don’t even dare to sit down easily now."

Her condition seems to be gradually worsening, rather than sudden back pain.

She just didn’t pay much attention before when it hurt.

Li Jingsheng had an idea in mind.

Treating bone injuries and diseases is his specialty.

With just a touch, he could make a pretty accurate estimation.

"I’ll check your lumbar spine now, I need to lift your clothes a bit, is that alright?"

Li Jingsheng gave her a heads-up.

Some female patients, especially young ones, are overly sensitive.

When examining them, with one mistake, you’re easily perceived as a pervert, and then a slap from them might follow.

There are indeed such female patients, and not just a few.

"It’s alright, go ahead with your examination!"

The female patient was very cooperative.

Li Jingsheng lifted her back clothes and tried to feel her spine, especially in the lumbar area.

After the examination, he didn’t find any abnormal bone positions in her lumbar spine.

Nor were there obvious lesions.

This indicated a very low possibility of lumbar disc herniation.

At first glance, Li Jingsheng felt that this girl’s hips seemed a bit loose.

Women who are married and have had children often exhibit this condition.

But the female patient was very young, twenty-two years old, could she already be a mother?

"May I ask, are you married?"

Li Jingsheng asked.

"No, why do you ask?"

She looked at Li Jingsheng with a strange expression.

Every time he asked female patients this question, it was a rather awkward moment for Li Jingsheng.

Perhaps when he grows older, maybe in his forties, asking female patients this question wouldn’t lead to misunderstandings.

"It’s nothing, just asking. Do you move very little while sitting?"

Li Jingsheng asked again.

"I do move quite little. Sometimes, when my boss gives me a task that’s urgent, I try to minimize even my bathroom trips as much as possible."

Most workers have a tough time.

She works as a secretary, looking at her average looks and slightly plump figure, it’s evident she’s not the kind of secretary relying on looks and figure, but a capable office worker.

"Alright, stand up and raise your hands over your head."

Li Jingsheng helped her stand up.

"Then squat down."

She followed his instructions.

"Oh..."

She directly fell onto her butt on the ground.

"It seems your lumbar spine is fine, it’s just that your hip muscles have amnesia."

Li Jingsheng successfully diagnosed the cause of her condition.
