Chapter 784: Chapter 365: Low-Impact Colonoscopy Expert, Highly Malignant Esophageal Tumor_3
Lian Tao replied.
During their conversation, Li Jingsheng had already located the hidden lesion in the ileum segment.
A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from behind.
Although it was just like playing a game, it showcased Li Jingsheng’s formidable skills, making them feel involuntary admiration.
"Jingsheng, the patient with fragile intestines is fortunate to have you. You’re their savior."
Lian Tao was all excited, looking thrilled.
"No, no, no, I’m just practicing with the instrument. Doing a colonoscopy on a real person is definitely different. You said the patient’s intestines are as fragile as powder, what if I accidentally puncture them? It’d be impossible to save them."
At that point, it wouldn’t be saving a life, but taking a life.
Li Jingsheng didn’t dare to easily agree.
"The patient’s intestinal wall can withstand a destructive force of approximately 1.2. Your handling of the endoscope maintains a destructive force of around 1 to 0.9, which is already incredibly impressive. For safety, maintaining it within a destructive force of 0.8 would be the safest. However, we can’t find anyone in the entire hospital who can do that. You’re the only person I’ve found who can consistently maintain the destructive force under 1."
Lian Tao naturally wouldn’t joke about a patient’s life.
"If the patient just has intestinal polyps, performing a colonoscopy isn’t urgent within these one or two days. If you really want to place this responsibility on my shoulders, let me practice more. It shouldn’t take more than a month, and then I’ll come to you."
Li Jingsheng intended to upgrade the insertion technique to a higher level.
Before that, he needed to upgrade his doctor’s level further.
This required a significant amount of life points, and he believed one month would be sufficient.
However, it seemed that upgrading the two medical skills of Fang Yao would have to be delayed again.
"You said it! I’ll call the patient later to discuss it with her. She should be able to wait for a month."
Lian Tao was afraid that Li Jingsheng would regret it.
"Director Lian, who is this doctor? Can you introduce us?"
"Such an amazing endoscopy expert, I’m truly impressed. I assume his skills in other endoscopic examinations are just as high. Brother, I advise you to pursue the endoscopic field directly; it’s a hot specialization in medicine right now. If you master endoscopy, your future prospects and financial avenues will undoubtedly be bright."
The doctor advising Li Jingsheng to develop in endoscopy was in his forties and had no idea that Li Jingsheng’s financial status was already quite good.
His prospects were equally promising.
Li Jingsheng was now in a position where he was thriving in multiple areas.
"Everyone, everyone, I’m sorry, I need to discuss some cases with Jingsheng today. Let’s chat more another day."
Lian Tao pulled Li Jingsheng out of the laboratory.
"Your colleagues are very enthusiastic!"
Li Jingsheng said with a smile.
"Those who can enter the lab are all medical enthusiasts with significant achievements in one or more fields. It’s rare to encounter an endoscopy expert like you; everyone wants to get to know you. As doctors, we often sit a lot, have irregular meals, and our intestines are prone to issues. For those doing interventional surgeries or working in departments with a lot of radiation exposure, malignant tumors are even more common.
Colon cancer is challenging to detect in its early stages, and colonoscopies are the only way.
Most people don’t trust just anyone to perform their colonoscopy. They’re afraid of the pain if they don’t use anesthesia. It’s their dream to have a master like you perform their colonoscopy.
The rest doesn’t need me to say, right?"
Lian Shou explained the enthusiasm of the people.
However, it was somewhat superficial.
The value of an endoscopy expert goes far beyond this.
Everyone was eager to cultivate familiarity with Li Jingsheng for other benefits as well.
Adults don’t take the initiative without some gain in sight.
"Jingsheng, bringing you here today to test your colonoscopy skills was just a side event. The main purpose was to have you help diagnose a few cases. Let’s start with the first one, a patient with an esophageal tumor who has difficulty swallowing. Although an esophageal tumor was found, subsequent examinations suggested it might be a leiomyoma. Please have a look."
Esophageal tumors are highly likely to be malignant, while leiomyomas are generally benign and often have minimal impact on health.
"Wouldn’t a biopsy tell us the answer? I’m not skilled in the field of tumors at all."
This time, Li Jingsheng was genuinely being honest.
"We’ve already performed the pathology, and it’s an esophageal leiomyoma. However, based on some of the patient’s symptoms and manifestations, I still feel it might not be a benign tumor. But these are words I’ll only say to you! You must not spread it; otherwise, the patient might think I’m cursing him with a malignant tumor."
No wonder Lian Tao asked Li Jingsheng for help with the diagnosis.
When faced with suspicious cases, sometimes one must not overly rely on test results.
Experienced doctors might have sharper instincts.
Besides, since esophageal tumors tend to be malignant, if it is indeed malignant but treated as benign, it could delay the patient’s condition.
"You know I don’t gossip!"
"That’s true. Come, let’s go to my office and sit. I’ve prepared all the patient’s information, just waiting to discuss it with you."
The two walked to Lian Tao’s office.
It was quite simple, with medical books piled everywhere.
Lian Tao is known as a medical enthusiast who can research a difficult case all day and night, making various deductions.
The mess in the office was an authentic representation of his work ethic.
"I only have coffee here; you might not like it. Let me offer you a cup of plain water!"
Lian Tao said with a smile.
"When I get tired, I like to have a cup of coffee to get a boost, although I know it’s not good. But there’s no other way. I just hope the heavens let me live a few more years so I can contribute more to the field of medicine."
Doctors like him are pretty common.
Each one is a hero silently contributing.
"Is this patient named Xie Zhi?"
"Yes, that’s him! He has a cough, shortness of breath, and sometimes experiences a burning pain in his chest and back as if it’s on fire. He came specifically to me for a diagnosis. After examining him, I felt it wasn’t as simple as the pathological results indicate."
