Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 733

Chapter 733: Chapter 339: This Is All I Can Do; Severe Pain Means a Milder Illness

"Such serious injuries, didn’t you call the police?"

"How could we not? But it was completely useless. That scoundrel was only locked up for ten days last time and then released. Now we can’t even divorce him. We’re almost driven mad."

The patient’s mother started wiping her tears as she mentioned it.

Li Jingsheng didn’t ask further.

Some matters can only be resolved by the patient’s family and themselves.

He can help with treating physical injuries, but regarding personal and family issues, doctors can’t intervene at all.

The patient’s father remained silent, but judging by the large bruise on his face, he likely had been beaten as well.

These days, it’s still important to have a son!

Encountering such scoundrels and issues, calling the police doesn’t help sometimes, which indeed leaves you helpless.

Sometimes there’s really no solution.

"I can treat the bone injury for you. Has the child inside your belly been checked?"

Li Jingsheng asked the patient.

"Yes."

She nodded, biting her lip.

The patient’s sister presented the examination report to Li Jingsheng.

"There are no major issues with the fetus in the abdomen. It’s also early in the pregnancy."

"Whose child is it?"

"That demon’s. Originally wanted to abort, but the hospital advised my sister to treat her leg injury first, and consider abortion when the situation stabilizes."

Indeed, the patient has a fractured leg bone, and the injury is quite severe.

In such a situation, no hospital would dare perform an abortion recklessly.

"To treat her leg injury at our clinic, we need to take an X-ray first to assess the situation, to know if it can be treated. The fee is 100 yuan. Is that okay with you?"

"Can’t the X-rays we took at the local hospital work?"

The patient’s sister asked.

"I’m afraid not. You’ve traveled a long way, and nobody can say if the fracture worsened or if there’s a new issue during the journey. Retaking an X-ray is both responsible towards you and helps to clearly assess the injury."

After experiencing a few instances of being bitten despite good intentions, Li Jingsheng absolutely refused to compromise.

"Alright then!"

The patient’s sister agreed.

After taking the patient to the medical room for an X-ray, Li Jingsheng found the injury unchanged from before.

Actually, when he advised taking an X-ray at Sunshine Clinic, it already meant he was confident in performing a manual reset on her.

But such words can’t be explicitly told to the family.

After examination, when manually resetting the patient’s bone, he found more old injuries on her leg.

The sight was shocking.

"In your situation, you could consider seeking help from the Women’s Federation, newspaper reporters, or finding free legal aid."

Ultimately, he felt some sympathy.

Honestly, if killing weren’t illegal, and he had the capability, he’d gladly help this pregnant woman eliminate that demon.

To lay a hand on a pregnant woman, that’s just too cruel.

Moreover, from his medical experience, these old injuries weren’t formed in just a day or two.

It’s hard to understand why some men resort to beating their wives so easily. If you don’t love anymore, you can choose to let go.

This pregnant woman is also too timid; she should’ve bravely sought external help the first time she was beaten.

Domestic violence has only zero and countless times.

"We did try approaching reporters, but after hearing the situation, they haven’t followed up." The patient’s sister, who seemed just around twenty years old, said.

A girl like her hasn’t had much exposure to society, and her abilities are limited.

Experienced responses to societal darkness are scarce.

Li Jingsheng didn’t say anything more.

After manually resetting the patient’s bone and putting an external fixative, he told her to return in a month for a check-up if there are no abnormalities.

Primarily considering their long journey.

Otherwise, it’d be best to come for a check-up again after about a week.

"Alright, this ointment can be applied once daily. The external fixative on the leg shouldn’t be removed, and it’s best to rest quietly, enhance nutritional supplements, and strive for early fracture healing."

After sending off the patient’s family, Li Jingsheng didn’t rush to see the next patient.

Instead, he took out his phone and searched through his contact list.

Then he made a call.

"Dr. Li, this is the first time you’ve called me proactively, isn’t it? Got some good news for me?"

Chu Yao from Urban Daily asked with a laugh.

Her attitude towards Li Jingsheng has always been quite friendly.

After giving her a few boxes of beauty supplements later on, she became even friendlier to him.

Now they count as acquaintances plus friends.

"Could you not add a ’big’ before the doctor? You intellectual types always know how to roast people, in a very sophisticated way. I’m just a small clinic doctor. Next time you visit, I’ll gift you two cups of pure herbal beauty tea. I beg you, don’t roast me like that again."

Li Jingsheng told her.

"Hehe... alright! I’ll gladly accept those two cups of beauty tea from you first. So, what do you need me to help you settle?"

She must have been laughing heartily at this moment.

"How did you know I need your help?"

"Hmph, no reason to be kind without ulterior motives. If you didn’t have something up, it’s impossible you’d call me proactively in a year. Actually, I’m still single now."

As a reporter, she’s bold.
