Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 736

Chapter 736: Chapter 341: Jiangli City Keeps Getting Smaller—Abandoning Treatment at a Critical Moment?

Treating an ordinary perianal abscess likely costs around five to six thousand yuan in total.

But for such a serious case like his, the cost easily exceeds ten thousand.

If sepsis occurs and ICU admission is necessary, the price for one night can easily go over ten thousand.

We must also hope that not too many complications arise. If multi-organ failure occurs, then it becomes even harder to handle.

"Is over two thousand yuan enough? I haven’t been working for long, and I’ve only saved this much money."

The young man turned visibly pale when he heard it could be fatal.

He was filled with immense fear.

Having just entered society not long ago, he hadn’t experienced much, let alone faced death. Even a slightly bloody scene might easily freak him out.

"Let’s get your brother over first! Money is the lesser issue; this illness can’t be delayed. It’s best to have surgery to drain it today. Otherwise, if delayed for another day or two, the abscess will certainly expand further."

Before performing surgery, Li Jingsheng would certainly need to take an X-ray to check the situation.

If treated at a large hospital, the examination would definitely be much more comprehensive.

Currently, his General Surgery diagnostic level is at the Minor Achievement level.

This is because the clinic’s business has increased, allowing him to gradually improve his skills in diagnosing General Surgery cases to the Minor Achievement level.

It can be said that this skill was elevated step by step from proficient to Minor Achievement.

He did not use life points to boost it.

This kind of improvement without shortcuts has very apparent benefits.

His clinical experience in this field is richer, and his integration of General Surgery knowledge and practice is more profound.

In diagnostics, he’s more adept.

For example, with this patient here, after a digital examination, he could deduce the general situation and whether he could take on this case.

The young man put on his pants and went to the waiting area to call his brother.

Meanwhile, Li Jingsheng continued diagnosing other patients.

A little after noon, the young man’s brother finally came over.

He was a young man with a straight back, appearing not much older, maybe around 26 or 27 years old.

He was wearing a black suit.

Some high-end hotels have their security guards wear black suits with ties instead of traditional security uniforms to show their class.

"Doctor, hello, what exactly is my brother’s condition? Is the surgery risky?"

He was noticeably more mature than his newly-entered-society brother.

From his demeanor, he seemed to have a military background.

"I’ve diagnosed him with a perianal abscess. But during the digital exam, pus was continuously discharging, indicating a long-term and severe condition. Since the anus harbors various bacteria, it poses a higher treatment challenge. Before coming here, he had been receiving infusion treatment for seven days at a place called Limin Clinic.

If only he had sought treatment at a big hospital or here earlier.

Now, his condition is very dangerous, easily leading to sepsis, which can be fatal..."

Li Jingsheng notified the patient’s brother of the actual situation.

However, he didn’t directly criticize Limin Clinic.

It’s challenging to be a doctor, especially when running a clinic, so it’s best not to offend any peers.

Undermining peers only creates trouble.

Getting beaten up is the least of worries; one could easily get stabbed.

"Why didn’t you get treated earlier? Now it’s dragged to this severe state."

After hearing Li Jingsheng, the brother glared at the younger brother, questioning him.

His voice was filled with intense anger.

In reality, it was genuine concern from hearing that his brother’s condition was severe.

The deeper the blame, the deeper the love.

The brother felt awful knowing how severe his younger brother’s condition was. He blamed his brother’s ignorance for not seeking treatment at a proper hospital sooner.

"I... initially planned to visit Sunshine Clinic, but Limin Clinic’s owner told me that Sunshine Clinic is just more famous, and their actual skills are no different from Limin Clinic. Then the owner said that they often treat my condition and are very skilled. Initially, they said three days of injections would suffice. When there wasn’t any improvement, they changed it to seven days of injections.

If I had known it would drag on this bad, I would never have believed their deceptive words."

The young man seemed very fearful of his brother.

Facing his brother’s blame, he put all the responsibility on Limin Clinic.

"If that unscrupulous clinic owner causes you any harm, I won’t forgive him. But first, let’s treat your illness. I’ll take you to a major hospital for treatment, where it’s more regular."

The brother feared that further delay would worsen his younger brother’s condition.

"Perhaps get treated here! Sunshine Clinic is a licensed clinic. Sitting here waiting, I heard them all say the Sunshine Clinic’s medical skills are proficient, and medical ethics are excellent. Dr. Li told me it would cost at most three thousand yuan to treat here, while big hospitals are so expensive."

The patient probably felt earning money wasn’t easy and didn’t want to waste it at a big hospital.

"Doctor, can we brothers discuss and then get back to you?"

The brother looked at Li Jingsheng after hearing this.

Evidently, he still had reservations about Sunshine Clinic.

His brother’s condition worsened at Limin Clinic, so even if they switch clinics, there might be only a slight improvement compared to Limin Clinic.
