Chapter 887 - 428: Lacking the Heart of a Stronger, Advanced Specialist-Level Colonoscopy

Chapter 887: Chapter 428: Lacking the Heart of a Stronger, Advanced Specialist-Level Colonoscopy

The thoracic surgeon has already been invited over for a consultation.

It feels like Director Lin really loves to have people come for consultations.

Li Jingsheng thinks that at least we could try to resolve it on our own first, and if we truly can’t diagnose it, then invite someone for a consultation.

The patient’s disease diagnosis is already quite clear, and after just completing the examination with new major findings, to immediately rush for a consultation isn’t the mindset of someone who can handle things independently.

It’s unclear whether Director Lin lacks confidence or has developed a habit of relying on others.

Or perhaps he wants to maintain more contact with other departments in this way.

No matter which reason, Li Jingsheng finds none of them acceptable.

Because Director Lin is a department head, frequently calling for help, does he really think favors are free?

This time, he invited Li Jingsheng, who went.

Next time, he invited Li Jingsheng again, and he still went.

But by the third invitation, Li Jingsheng might have second thoughts.

Whose time isn’t valuable?

At Li Jingsheng’s level, time equals money.

Among adults, what’s valued is mutually beneficial exchanges.

If Director Lin’s department isn’t strong, and if its potential for development is inadequate, then why should Li Jingsheng go help him every time?

When it comes to routine consultations, under normal circumstances, avoid them if you can.

Not to mention routine consultations, even for emergencies, too many requests sometimes lead to a random doctor being sent over.

Begging someone is like swallowing a three-foot sword.

If one lacks social awareness, they’re sure to face grievances.

Director Lin lacks the mindset of a strong leader, always thinking of relying on others, so the prospects for vascular surgery don’t look good.

Every department that’s weak has its reasons.

Li Jingsheng reviews the message sent by Director Yan from the emergency room.

Just a few words.

"You really did it; the patient has stabilized!"

The patient Director Yan refers to is naturally Han Xiaoqing.

Li Jingsheng already anticipated this outcome.

When he left the emergency room, Han Xiaoqing’s condition was already improving.

If no surprises occur, by the latest tomorrow morning, Han Xiaoqing’s epiglottis will have substantially reduced swelling.

Swelling and congestion are primarily due to inflammatory responses.

Once inflammation is controlled, all that’s left is to patiently wait.

If the inflamed area was not the epiglottis but instead limbs or other parts of the body, then there’d be no need for worry. Medication can be used in a more relaxed manner.

When Li Jingsheng clocked out, it was already past seven.

He couldn’t help it; he’d spent quite a bit of time with Han Xiaoqing.

Initially, he promised to help Ou Qinglan treat two difficult patients, but now he’ll have to work overtime.

...

She’s having quite a rough day, working a full day again.

Night shift duty is needed this evening.

After helping her handle two thorny cases, when Li Jingsheng returned to Sunshine Clinic, it was close to nine.

Being a doctor is truly exhausting.

Lately, he’s been researching cardiovascular interventions with Wang Weiwei and Luo Binggang. The two professors have been supportive, allowing two papers to list Li Jingsheng as the second author.

As for making Li Jingsheng the first author, that’s certainly impractical.

At the very least, he needs to have some of his own contributions to be elevated.

Otherwise, it’s no different from paying to publish a medical paper. Without that capability, it just becomes a joke.

Li Jingsheng writes papers as the first author but focusing on orthopedics.

Right now, his strongest area is orthopedic surgery.

His understanding of various bone injuries has reached a very high level.

Coupled with various clinical diagnostic and treatment experiences accumulated, as long as he finds a suitable research topic, he can definitely produce substantial papers.

Many things can only be taken slowly, there’s no rush.

Those prodigies who become academicians in their forties, he definitely doesn’t dare compare himself to them.

The vast majority who can become academicians at sixty are already lucky.

He is still very young, not even thirty, with great potential.

If he can work tirelessly, it seems quite possible to become a chief physician by forty.

Having the title of chief physician opens up many possibilities.

He believes by that time, his Sunshine Clinic will have developed to a very high level.

That is also his advantage.

Other chief physicians find it nearly impossible to secure five million in research funds.

If Li Jingsheng’s Sunshine Clinic earns ten million, or even twenty or thirty million per year, he can completely invest in research himself.

He doesn’t have to invest everything; if what he secures isn’t enough, he can contribute part of it himself.

If other chief physicians carry out some research projects but can’t secure enough funding, or the projects turn out to be more expensive than imagined, midway research lacks funding.

Then all they can do is wait.

Possibly even have to cease research.

Being wealthy makes a difference.

If willing to invest, he can fully ensure that the research projects proceed smoothly to completion.

Whether aiming for Yangtze River Scholar or Young Scholar, contributions are highly valued.

Ultimately, it’s about research output.

This is why doctors spend a lot of time on research.

The more ambitious chief physicians have their own research teams.

Some are even strong alliances, with two or more teams tackling scientific research problems together.

Being awarded the Outstanding Youth fund means you can receive at least 800,000 yuan a year in research funding. It’s a four-year consecutive grant.

Over four years, the minimum research funding is 3.2 million yuan.

If you can produce results, there’s a chance to go for even higher titles, and then get more research funding.

Li Jingsheng’s clinic can earn several times 3.2 million a year.

With such strong funding, he definitely has some advantage in competing for these special titles.

Returning to the clinic, after finishing up, it was already past ten in the evening.

Now that he’s earned enough life points, the insertion technique can be elevated to a higher level, and he should be able to perform the colonoscopy and polyp removal surgery for Lian Tao’s girlfriend.

As for the ’fragile intestine’ patient, Li Jingsheng has never encountered one before.

He also wanted to see how fragile her intestines really were.

"Lian Tao, I promised last time that once my colonoscopy skills improved, I would perform the colonoscopy for your girlfriend. I think now I should try it."

Li Jingsheng didn’t make any absolute statements.

What level comes after mastery in skills?

If mastery can only barely reach the level of an expert, then going up one more level would surely surpass an ordinary expert.

"Haha, that’s great! That’s the best news I’ve heard today."

It took Lian Tao more than half an hour to reply to his message.

Perhaps he was worried that Li Jingsheng had gone to sleep, so Lian Tao couldn’t wait to know the situation.

He called directly.

"Why are you calling?"

Li Jingsheng asked.

"Haha, I didn’t interrupt you and your sister-in-law during an intimate moment, did I?"

Lian Tao was in a good mood.

He usually refrains from making such lewd jokes with Li Jingsheng.

"You’re overthinking it. I’m alone in the clinic, keeping an empty bed company. Here I am, not worried about my own girlfriend but rather concerned about your lifelong affair. How about doing the colonoscopy for your girlfriend tomorrow?"

Li Jingsheng asked.

"Sure! I’ll call her a little later. Before that, I need to confirm with you first, hasn’t your colonoscopy technique improved again? To what extent has it improved? Can we test it in our lab first?"

Although Lian Tao trusts Li Jingsheng, he wouldn’t dare to be reckless regarding his girlfriend’s safety.

"Testing is no problem, we can do it before the colonoscopy tomorrow. Today, I’m exhausted, I don’t want to make another trip to the People’s Hospital."

Li Jingsheng appeared very confident.

With another level up in insertion technique, not only for colonoscopy, but even in future interventional surgeries, he could become a top-notch expert.

Both Wang Weiwei and Luo Binggang have high levels of skill in interventional surgeries, currently surpassing Li Jingsheng.

But they are not much stronger than Li Jingsheng.

If Li Jingsheng levels up the insertion technique again, he will certainly surpass both Wang Weiwei and Luo Binggang.

After finishing the call with Lian Tao, Li Jingsheng directly opened the attribute panel, clicked on the insertion technique under medical skills, and chose to upgrade.

Over 2600 life points were spent in an instant.

Making money is hard, but spending it is all too easy.

It’s just a matter of a thought.

Insertion technique pinnacle 5000/10000

It can actually be upgraded even further.

So, the level above mastery is the pinnacle.

This is definitely at the level of high-level experts.

With just this technique, he could make waves in major hospitals and become a top-tier figure in the interventional or colonoscopy department.

Being able to level up even further means this is not the peak of medical skills yet.

How strong will it be if it goes up again?

He doesn’t know.

He just knows that after upgrading the insertion technique, many difficult operations in colonoscopies and interventional surgeries are no longer difficult.

He is confident that in the colonoscopy simulation test tomorrow, the damage value can be reduced to a very low level.

...

The next day, he got off work after six.

After dinner, he headed straight to the People’s Hospital.

Lian Tao had already communicated with his girlfriend and made some arrangements and preparations.

But he’s not brave enough to let Li Jingsheng perform the colonoscopy on his girlfriend immediately.

It’s necessary for Li Jingsheng to first test on the colonoscopy simulator.

Entering the lab, it was still the same old colonoscopy simulator.

As soon as Li Jingsheng held the handle, he felt a completely different sensation.

Indescribable, holding the handle felt as if the endoscope probe was like his own finger. When controlling it, it felt as natural as moving his own hand.

This experience was particularly wonderful.

"Oh my god, what kind of genius are you? That’s enough, that’s enough, please proceed to help her with the colonoscopy immediately."

Lian Tao only watched as Li Jingsheng performed a simple colonoscopy maneuver before stopping.

Because Li Jingsheng’s performance was simply too astounding.

He thought there would only be a slight improvement, but it turned out to be a giant leap from his original skill level.

"Jingsheng, I suggest you rely on performing colonoscopies for patients in the future. This alone could make you prosperous, even more than what your clinic earns now."

Lian Tao said confidently.

"You just say anything, do you know how high the income of my clinic is now? How much commission can a single colonoscopy bring in!"

Li Jingsheng didn’t think much about making money through this.

"That’s just ignorance! Your clinic does make a lot of money, but colonoscopies can take the high-end route. It’s not about commission, but a revenue-sharing model."
