Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic

Chapter 555: Chapter 254: Three Consultation Desks and Unusual Bleeding (Part 2)

To prevent damage by children, a glass frame was specially mounted on the surface. It also looks a bit more high-end.

With this introduction board, patients can better choose the right doctor for themselves when they come for a consultation.

On the second day, which happened to be a Monday, he didn’t have to work at the hospital.

The three doctors sat at their respective consultation spots, and when patients came for consultations, they found the introduction board quite novel.

Han Siying was intentionally guiding patients to choose the doctors they needed.

Although most patients still insisted on seeing Dr. Li, the introduction board had already had some effect.

Some patients, coming to Sunshine Clinic for its brand, would proactively choose the less busy Dr. Wang or Dr. Shao to get seen in time.

It’s undeniable that older doctors are more popular.

Dr. Wang has been at the clinic for some time now, and logically speaking, his skill isn’t poor. But there are simply more patients queuing in front of Dr. Shao.

Patients prefer to trust older doctors.

They feel these doctors have richer diagnostic experience, higher skills, and are more dependable in their actions.

Currently, Li Jingsheng remains the most popular doctor at Sunshine Clinic, his position unshakable.

...

On Tuesday, he went to the Second Hospital to work, and received the pathological biopsy results of that young patient.

It turned out to be a neurofibroma.

Benign.

It was quite a good examination result. Because the tumor’s border was unclear, he had been worried it might be malignant before getting the final pathology results.

Now seeing that it’s a benign neurofibroma, he was relieved.

He immediately informed the patient of the results on the spot.

Upon hearing it was a benign tumor, the man’s tone noticeably relaxed.

For anyone, knowing there is a tumor in their body is sure to cause concern. If it were a malignant tumor, life might very well start counting down.

Just after ending the call with the patient, another call came in.

It was from Tang Ping.

"Sister Tang! What’s up?"

"A child just came to the clinic with a nosebleed, saying it happened while playing with his cousin at home, his nose hit the edge of the TV cabinet. It’s been bleeding non-stop, and we’ve tried several methods and can’t stop it. What do you think?"

Tang Ping would not call him for something trivial.

Normally, it’s common for kids to get hurt and have nosebleeds.

They usually stop quickly.

"Have the family send him to the hospital immediately! I suspect it could be due to a rupture of a larger artery," Li Jingsheng could only think of this reason. There’s something even scarier, which is internal cranial bleeding.

This would be a big problem.

Even sending to the hospital requires immediate rescue, otherwise it could be life-threatening.

Might even need to perform a craniotomy.

"Is the bleeding heavy?"

Li Jingsheng asked another question.

"Not heavy. The bleeding is relatively small, if it were heavy, we wouldn’t have dared to accept the patient; we’d have already advised them to go to a big hospital for treatment."

Tang Ping, although just a nurse, has quite a wealth of experience in treating many diseases.

"I feel this case might be pretty tricky, still advise the patient to go to the hospital! If the family really refuses, call me again."

Li Jingsheng was working over here.

Couldn’t oversee the clinic at all.

Dr. Shao has rich treatment experience, even cases he can’t handle, probably won’t make a difference if Li Jingsheng goes back personally.

After talking to Tang Ping, he went straight back to outpatient work.

After a while, Tang Ping called again.

"Boss, the child’s bleeding has temporarily stopped. The family says they’ll observe at home for now, as they live not far from our clinic. She said if it starts bleeding again, they’ll come back to see us."

Hearing the bleeding had stopped, Li Jingsheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

A child’s blood vessels are rich, and with some kids being particularly well-nourished and lively, bleeding might not stop so easily.

The vascular plexus inside the nasal cavity is dense, just beneath the mucous membranes.

Once broken, it’s harder to stop the bleeding compared to other areas.

He was particularly busy today, didn’t even go to the doctor’s office to rest after lunch, went straight back to work in outpatient.

If he didn’t do this, nearly twelve or thirteen patients would not get timely treatment.

Can only wait until tomorrow to find Doctor Xu.

In fact, every day at Doctor Xu’s side, there’s a need to limit appointments.

So, certainly there will be patients who can’t get an appointment, the final result very likely being surgical treatment.

Some patients run over from several kilometers away to seek medical attention, Li Jingsheng genuinely couldn’t bear to see them not receive timely treatment due to an inability to get an appointment.

Patients coming from out of town, if they can’t get an appointment that day, means at least needing to wait a day.

Not only do they need to endure an extra day of pain, but more serious injuries, like fractures, are also prone to thrombosis, fat embolism and other serious secondary injuries.

Then patients have to stay in hotels, eat meals, which are additional expenses.

Caregivers would also delay their work for this.

Li Jingsheng resting a bit less at noon allows him to treat seven or eight more patients.

Working a bit more at night, he can handle them all.

He finds doing this very meaningful, it can practically help patients reduce loss and suffering.

He was busy until after seven in the evening, finally finished with the last patient and wrapped up work.

Ou Qinglan directly packed some food from the cafeteria and brought it over to wait for him.

Recently, she seems to have reconciled with her parents, and then used the dowry money to buy the storefront where Li Jingsheng previously opened the clinic. Her father’s economic acumen is truly admirable, he has now simply renovated the shop to sell raisins, walnuts, and other specialty foods.
