Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 217 - 139: Three Medical Skills Upgraded, Growth Summary (2)

Li Jingsheng called out to Tang Ping.

The clinic had become much less busy, and she was feeling worried. The arrival of such a major case lifted her spirits.

"You can just wait outside. After the surgery, we still need to give him an IV drip."

Li Jingsheng said to the two people.

"Old Liu, why don't you go back to work first? I'll head over as soon as Xiaoshan's surgery is done."

"Alright!"

Master Liu was an honest man, and he agreed promptly before leaving.

"Be careful, make sure nothing else happens."

Master Shun reminded him from behind.

Li Jingsheng asked Xiaogao to help carry the injured person into the treatment room, then had Xiaogao go outside to sell medicine, while he and Tang Ping performed the surgery on the injured person.

After thorough disinfection, local anesthesia was administered, and they began cleaning the wound.

Since the wound was caused by the sharp edge of an aluminum window, it definitely required debridement.

Fortunately, the wound was not particularly deep.

Li Jingsheng's mind was rapidly devising the surgical plan.

Currently, his surface debridement skill was at a proficient level, which was just passable for this wound. However, to achieve excellent debridement results, a Master Level of surface debridement was necessary.

Gritting his teeth, he decided to advance his surface debridement skill to Master Level. It was a rare opportunity to handle a somewhat major surgery, and he had to do his best.

In just the blink of an eye, his surface debridement skill was upgraded from proficient to Master Level.

A total of 89 life points were consumed.

Surface Debridement Master Level 100.5/500.

Now, not only could he handle somewhat complex lacerated wounds, but he could also effectively deal with severely contaminated wounds, rotting wounds, and jagged wounds.

The results of the debridement would definitely reach an excellent standard.

Rather than just a passable standard.

With debridement completed, the next task was suturing. The ideal method would be intradermal suturing. However, since he hadn't learned it yet, he could only consider simple continuous suturing.

Using continuous suturing for this wound had the advantages of quick suturing and hemostasis, which could shorten the surgery time. However, it wasn't very conducive to healing and could leave rather unsightly suture scars.

There's no choice, patients coming to his small clinic for surgery can't expect perfection.

He could only guarantee to cure the patient.

Spending over a thousand yuan and expecting everything to be perfect was impossible.

Using continuous suturing for this wound wasn't the best choice. Moreover, this skill was only at a proficient level, so the suturing effect would definitely suffer, and healing might be affected.

Elevating the continuous suturing to Master Level could mitigate some disadvantages of the skill, minimizing its adverse effects.

With this in mind, he decisively spent 69 life points to level up his continuous suturing skill.

Continuous Suturing Master Level 100.8/500.

In an instant, over a hundred life points were consumed, leaving him with only 184 life points. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

It seemed his life points were never warm enough before being used up.

He barely saved a few before they were quickly spent.

The Master Level of continuous suturing was indeed impressive! He could feel a deeper understanding of suturing, with certain techniques integrating naturally.

Especially the continuous suturing technique, which saw a significant leap in enhancement.

Whether in terms of suturing time, neatness, or coherence, they all greatly improved.

Things were now under control.

The combination of Master Level surface debridement with Master Level continuous suturing would allow him to handle the patient's wound to the best of his ability.

It's a pity that his intradermal suturing hadn't reached the Entry Level yet; otherwise, the surgery's effect could have been even better.

"Huh... Is this sorcery?"

Li Jingsheng observed the newly improved continuous suturing skill and surprisingly discovered that a new intradermal suturing skill had appeared within it.

Initially, he thought he was hallucinating.

But he quickly confirmed that it wasn't a hallucination and that an intradermal suturing skill was genuinely added.

"Could this be due to advancing the continuous suturing skill to Master Level?"

Intradermal suturing was indeed an advanced skill formed by combining the two basic suturing techniques of interrupted and continuous suturing.

He had been diligently practicing intradermal suturing and already had a certain foundation.

Now, the advancement of continuous suturing to Master Level allowed his intradermal suturing skill to advance, reaching the Entry Level.

That's it, that must be it.

This also gave him a valuable insight for future reference when learning other surgical skills.

Intradermal Suturing Entry Level 0/10.

This suturing method can precisely align the skin edges while reducing scar formation.

Although it was just a brief introduction, intradermal suturing can be applied to various wound sutures.

Mastering it will also benefit his future practice of anastomosis techniques.

Suturing skin is certainly not his end goal; ultimately, he aims to achieve the ability to anastomose blood vessels, intestines, and even nerves and tendons.

By that time, his surgical skills would have truly reached a certain level.

Currently, his abilities might be impressive for a clinic, even a basic hospital.

But in a large hospital, they are far from enough.

Why do surgeons practice knotting on cotton or tofu? Why practice slicing pigskin or paper?

Everyone practices various surgical skills day and night to one day perform major surgeries of levels three or four.

Anastomosis of blood vessels, nerves, intestines—all are crucial milestones.

"Since the intradermal suturing skill has reached the Entry Level, I'll use this suturing method."

Li Jingsheng immediately changed his initial plan.

He spent 100 life points straight away, leveling up the newly acquired intradermal suturing skill directly from Entry Level to Master Level, advancing two levels.
