Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 216 - 139: Three Medical Disciplines Advanced, Growth Summary

After listening, Li Jingsheng finally understood that Master Liu liked to mix in some dialect that was hard to understand when he spoke.

It could be considered plastic Mandarin.

It seems this young man wasn't kidney-cut.

"Why do we need to carry him? Can't he walk on his own?"

Li Jingsheng had already squatted down immediately to start examining the injuries of the young man on the makeshift stretcher.

There was a bloodstain about fourteen or fifteen centimeters long on the right side of the waist, still bleeding.

The amount of bleeding didn't look particularly serious.

The wound seemed shallower than expected.

Just more scratches on the surface.

"We heard that injuries to the stomach and waist should best not be moved, afraid something might go wrong, so we put together a makeshift stretcher to bring him over."

His colleague, Master Shun, eagerly answered.

Master Shun seemed to have quite a high status in their small team.

His thinking was also nimbler than Master Liu.

"Are you guys working nearby this time?"

Li Jingsheng knew they were taking up work all over the city, demolishing walls, clearing renovation waste, making some hard-earned money.

"No, we were at the Country Garden area, took a bus to come over."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingsheng couldn't help but twitch his face.

Master Shun and Master Liu were really stingy people. They were just too frugal.

"There was no other way. We initially hailed a taxi, but when they saw Xiao Shan covered in blood, afraid of getting the car dirty, they wouldn't let him in. In the end, we had no choice but to squeeze onto the bus. Fortunately, this time of day there weren't many people. If it was an hour or two later, during the after-work rush, we probably would have had no choice but to call 120 for an ambulance."

Master Shun seemed to understand Li Jingsheng's thoughts, explaining with a bitter face.

Calling an ambulance would cost at least 150 yuan.

They made a few hard-earned bucks, not easily willing to squander it like that.

Squeezing onto a bus was cheap, only 1 yuan per person.

Three people only needed 3 yuan to settle in.

"Hey, you young man, honestly now, we told you to pay attention to safety, pay attention to safety, but you just wouldn't listen. Now you've hurt yourself like this, what are we supposed to do? You made me and Old Liu stop working to bring you over for treatment. We really don't know what to say to you!"

Master Shun complained to the young man lying on the makeshift stretcher.

Clearly, he had an equal relationship with Master Liu while with the young man, it was more of a foreman-worker relationship.

Last time when Master Liu got hurt, Master Shun didn't have this attitude. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

The young man lying on the stretcher showed a face full of pain and remained silent despite the scolding.

"Dr. Li, is his injury serious?"

"The wound isn't deep, just a bit long. How did he get injured?"

Li Jingsheng didn't hurry to start treatment.

He definitely needed to figure it out before treating.

"He got scratched. When he was standing on the ladder drilling, I don't know how he fell down. It's lucky the impact drill didn't hurt him."

Master Shun described the incident briefly.

Doing this kind of work is not only exhausting but also very dangerous.

On top of being akin to a 'guerilla squad,' the safety precautions aren't very formal, and trying to hasten the project's progress, accidents were especially prone to happen.

Thinking of the young man falling off the ladder, Master Shun still had lingering fears.

If a fatal accident occurred, he, as the foreman, would certainly have to pay a lot of money.

The owner might only bear a part.

In the end, working for years for nothing would be normal.

"If you want him treated here, I'll need to do an abdominal ultrasound first to see if there's no major issue, and then I can clean up and stitch the wound. The total cost might be around 1200 yuan. For the first three days, he needs to return to my clinic daily for follow-up and infusion."

At least three days of IV drips, adding cleaning, hemostasis, stitching, and tetanus shots, only charging 1200 yuan, was quite a fair deal.

"That's fine, as long as you can heal him, you can go ahead and do it!"

Master Shun was quite readily agreeable this time.

He didn't go about like last time to call the owner and have them shoulder a portion.

"First pay the 100 yuan examination fee, or prepay the 1200 yuan directly?"

"Let's start with the examination fee! Since he fell off the ladder, we're worried there might be internal injuries, internal organ ruptures, and bleeding."

Li Jingsheng explained.

The small clinic had limited conditions. He could only make an initial judgment through visual observation and the patient's exhibited condition.

Then use the ultrasound to check.

If there was abdominal bleeding, he couldn't take this big case.

Surgical cases were really rare for his small clinic.

When one finally showed up, as long as he could manage it, he certainly wouldn't want to push it away.

After the ultrasound examination, no significant abdominal bleeding or organ rupture in the young man was found.

He was immediately much relieved.

"Come, try bending your left leg."

He proceeded with further physical checks on the patient.

"Good, very good. Put your left leg down and lift your right leg, bend."

Checking that the nerve functions of both legs were not affected, he felt reassured this time.

"Master Shun, you can pay the surgery fee now. I must clarify one point, because here I don't have inpatient facilities, after surgery, he must recuperate at home on his own. He must strictly follow the doctor's advice. For instance, not letting the wound touch water means it must not touch. Also, not exerting force to avoid causing secondary wound tearing; these require you to take care yourself."

Li Jingsheng proactively clarified the precautions.

Lacking inpatient conditions, he could only adapt flexibly.

"Alright, I will definitely instruct him well."

Hearing that surgery could be performed here, Master Shun was pleased and promptly scanned to pay.

Perhaps seeing how severely injured Master Liu was last time, and the successful treatment here with Li Jingsheng.

That's why he seemed particularly at ease this time.

Didn't even ask much.

"Sister Tang, ready for surgery."
