Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic

Chapter 596: Chapter 273: Director Luo’s Terms for Long-Term Cooperation

Outside, several doctors in the field of cardiovascular medicine were watching through the glass window.

This top-tier intervention surgery is extremely rare to witness.

Watching other experts in cardiovascular medicine perform surgery can teach a lot of valuable surgical knowledge and ideas, thoughts.

Ten doctors might have ten different approaches to solve the problem.

At this moment, everyone’s nerves were taut, gritting their teeth, pushing with all their might, hoping Luo Binggang could successfully complete this high-risk intervention surgery.

Li Jingsheng had already put on lead clothing, and directly walked into the inner room.

"Professor Luo, I’ll try using massage techniques to lend you a hand."

Without any unnecessary words, Li Jingsheng ignored the surprised gaze of the female assistant and directly spoke to Luo Binggang.

"Alright!"

Luo Binggang and Li Jingsheng exchanged glances, as if they shared an unspoken understanding at this critical moment.

Both knew what the other was thinking.

Their common goal was to do whatever it takes to unclog the blocked blood vessel.

Li Jingsheng wasted no time, directly getting to work.

While watching, he already figured out the approximate location of the blood vessel blockage.

On the way, the cardiovascular anatomy image had reviewed itself several times in his mind.

The patient’s age was advanced, body quite obese.

The severity of the atherosclerosis indicated a high possibility of hypertension.

Pressing on the patient’s chest, close to the abdominal region.

"Is it here?"

"Correct!"

Luo Binggang’s words were concise and powerful, showing he belonged to the practical type.

"Let’s start!"

Li Jingsheng closed his eyes, carefully sensing the sternum, as well as the blood vessels and muscles beneath.

The fat layer was quite thick, undoubtedly reducing his tactile feedback.

However, all difficulties can be overcome.

He even closed his eyes, patiently sensing, then opened them again, focusing on the imaging screen.

With the exertion of his hands, the patient’s blood vessels could be seen slightly trembling.

There was even a bit of displacement.

"Very effective, let’s continue!"

Luo Binggang observed that under Li Jingsheng’s massage, the blood vessels trembled, allowing the guidewire to advance slightly.

This made Luo Binggang extremely delighted.

Li Jingsheng slowly sought out the trick, finding that ’muscle pulling’ was ineffective. Instead, the vibration and compression during massage were highly effective.

Massage inherently has the effect of soothing the meridians.

At this moment, it resembled an advanced version of meridian soothing.

Specifically targeting that one blocked point.

With every heavy press, the patient’s chest caved slightly.

The force was quite intense.

Luo Binggang struggled a little to push ahead.

Finally, the fine guidewire smoothly emerged from the other end.

"Oh!"

A round of enthusiastic cheers and applause filled the room. This was a battle of life and death.

The moment the guidewire passed through, it represented victory for life.

The cardiovascular medicine experts outside the intervention room were stunned.

No one expected that Li Jingsheng’s massage technique would greatly aid the catheter intervention.

Among these experts were those from the People’s Hospital, Qiaobang Hospital, Jiangli City Medical University Affiliated Hospital, and other major hospitals’ cardiovascular medicine experts.

Without substantial ability, there’s no qualification to enter the outer room of the intervention room.

Because these observing doctors succeeded in making it to the finals, they qualified to enter the intervention room and participate in patient treatment.

However, they ultimately all failed.

Especially this high-difficulty catheter intervention surgery, causing many top cardiovascular medicine experts to fail.

They couldn’t help but wonder, if they had Li Jingsheng assisting during their intervention surgeries, might they have succeeded in clearing this blocked blood vessel too?

Passing the guidewire made the subsequent treatment simple.

Insert a balloon to dilate the blood vessel, gradually removing the blockage, allowing the vessel to regain smoothness.

The life monitoring equipment produced an agreeable beeping sound.

With rhythm.

As if playing a triumphal symphony.

At the moment the surgery was completed, Li Jingsheng unexpectedly received a reward of 500 life points.

Causing him to feel very surprised.

More so, delighted.

It seems he can upgrade a medical skill again.

"This is the hardest intervention surgery I’ve done among over four thousand surgeries. No comparison."

Luo Binggang exhaled a long breath as if relieved.

Seeing the patient’s vital signs gradually improve, a radiant smile blossomed on his steel-hard face.

"I know you, the champion of the bone-setting technique, Dr. Li Jingsheng. Thank you for being my assistant, helping this intervention surgery succeed."

Luo Binggang looked at Li Jingsheng, eyes gentle and filled with gratitude.

"No, you don’t need to thank me. It’s what I should do. Rescuing patients is the duty of every doctor."

Li Jingsheng didn’t think much of it.

The help just now was very rewarding for him, not only did he gain 500 life points, but he also realized a new use for massage therapy.

Using it to assist in interventional surgery to loosen blocked thrombi was unexpectedly effective.

This was the first time he explored this ability, and he felt there was room for deeper investigation and improvement to enhance its effectiveness.

Efficiency also needed improvement.

He was sweating profusely, and only managed to loosen a small section of the blocked blood vessel.

If it weren’t for Luo Binggang’s exceptional interventional surgical skills, success would have been impossible.

Their collaboration essentially saved the patient’s life.

"Pleasure working with you!"

Luo Binggang walked up to Li Jingsheng and extended his hand.

The two shook hands firmly.

"I look forward to future opportunities to work with you. If possible, I feel we could establish a special treatment team dedicated to dealing with various difficult vascular blockages."

Luo Bingzhang thought that if the two could work together, they would surely achieve great things.

"It’s an appealing idea, and I’d be very willing to collaborate with Director Luo to save lives, but unfortunately, we are in different places, far apart. Vascular blockages like these often develop rapidly and escalate quickly, with high mortality rates. The time for rescue is often very short. If we were in the same city or even the same hospital, we might still be able to quickly assemble to save patients."

Li Jingsheng shook his head with a bitter smile.

Jiangli City and Beijing are one in the south and one in the north; not even a plane ride would make it.

And plane flights have time restrictions; it’s impossible to take a special flight for one person.

"Fair point. So, I hope Dr. Li might consider moving to Beijing someday. If you ever have that thought, feel free to contact me; I’ll take care of everything. I promise that your salary and status in Beijing won’t be lower than in Jiangli City."

Luo Binggang made a serious promise.

This shows that the skills Li Jingsheng demonstrated just now earned him high regard in Luo’s mind.

Only those involved know how precious it is to have a capable assistant in those thrilling moments.

Li Jingsheng was like a ray of light in the dark.

A light that brought hope.

"Okay, thank you for your kindness. I’ll contact you if needed."

How could Li Jingsheng go develop in Beijing?

Currently, his clinic earns over ten thousand a day, and his status at the Second Hospital is steadily rising.

His social circle in Jiangli City is expanding continuously.

This is his established base; giving up everything here to go become Luo Binggang’s medical assistant in Beijing?

He’d have to be out of his mind.

Luo Binggang has no idea how well-off Li Jingsheng is in Jiangli City, so he assumes going to Beijing could offer better conditions.

How many doctors can earn over ten thousand a day?

Probably not even Luo Bingzhang himself makes that much.

Li Jingsheng earns 14,000 a day, over five million a year. This income is equivalent to that of the head of a surgical team in a top-tier large hospital.

Besides, his clinic is also thriving in the area of medical consultations.

As it develops, his daily income will likely increase significantly.

He plans to pursue a premium route, recruiting a group of renowned doctors and nurses to form one of the top-notch medical teams in the country.

Then, just like Boss Ye and Jiupeng International Hospital, they could specialize in providing top-tier medical services to wealthy and influential clients.

The fees would definitely not be cheap.

However, the surgical level, medication level, nutrition level, and rehabilitation level would all be world-class.

When he walked out of the interventional room, a bald man of medium build was waiting to greet Li Jingsheng.

He looked about fifty, with a slightly plump face.

His small eyes were nonetheless sharp and lively.

Judging by his appearance, he seemed to be specifically waiting outside for Li Jingsheng to come out.

"Dr. Li, watching your massage therapy combined with Professor Luo’s catheter intervention surgery just now was truly eye-opening. I never imagined medical skills could be combined this way. Oh, by the way, let me introduce myself. I’m Wang Weiwei, Chief Physician of the Cardiovascular Medicine Department at Jiangli City People’s Hospital."

Chief Physician is the highest title in a doctor’s rank.

However, in large top-tier hospitals like People’s Hospital and Qiaobang Hospital, chiefs are usually divided into three levels.

The lowest is a Level 3 Chief Physician, and the strongest is a Level 1 Chief Physician.

Even though Li Jingsheng didn’t know much about the doctors at People’s Hospital, he had heard of Wang Weiwei’s name.

This person is a top-notch expert in the Cardiovascular Medicine Department of People’s Hospital.

Equivalent to a golden brand in the field of cardiovascular medicine.

This top-level presence, with a frighteningly high status, now waited specifically outside the interventional room for Li Jingsheng and greeted him warmly.

For what purpose?

"I’ve long admired your reputation, Director Wang! There can’t be many in Jiangli City who don’t know your name. In the cardiovascular field, you’re absolutely a towering figure."

Li Jingsheng laid on the flattery.

The smile on Wang Weiwei’s chubby round face grew even broader.

"Haha, am I really that impressive? I never think of myself as that impressive." Wang Weiwei chuckled. "Just now, Professor Luo invited you to develop in Beijing and work with him. I’ve heard some stories about you; you’re a homely person, so I doubt you’d leave your base. How about considering working with me to save lives? We’re in the same city, and getting to the interventional room at People’s Hospital should take you no more than thirty or forty minutes."

Could Wang Weiwei’s sudden friendliness be without motive?

Indeed, he had an agenda.

He wanted to invite Li Jingsheng to form a special team with him to tackle severe vascular blockages.

"If I have time, I would be more than happy to help. But as you know, I almost have daily consultations, and leaving waiting patients to rescue people at People’s Hospital might flood the complaint lines."

Li Jingsheng thought an occasional collaboration might be fine.

If it’s to be several interventional surgeries daily, he might as well join People’s Hospital.

"Don’t worry, unless there’s a particularly severe blockage, and I feel inviting you could help save the patient, that’s the only time I’d call you in. I won’t disturb you otherwise. And about the visiting fee, I understand the rules; you’ll be properly compensated."

Wang Weiwei emphasized the visiting fee.

With compensation, Dr. Li has the motivation.
