Chapter 387 - 196: Senior Attending Physician Strength and Concerns
"No problem, I’ll help you ask about that later."
Lian Tao readily agreed.
His status at People’s Hospital is quite decent, and his network is fairly broad, so it shouldn’t be difficult to inquire about this matter.
When Li Jingsheng returned to the clinic, it was already very late.
After helping that little girl with the diagnosis, he was pleasantly surprised to discover an unexpectedly rewarding outcome on the attribute panel.
His doctor level experience increased by 100 points.
Not mistaken, it’s 100 points.
It’s been a long time since he felt the taste of an additional 100 points in level experience.
This act of kindness, spending money and effort, plus providing free consultation for that little girl, earned him a surge in doctor level experience as a special kind of reward.
Of course, the increase in doctor level experience and skill proficiency on the attribute panel follows a very strict mechanism.
These 100 points of experience are proportional to the improvement and gains in his medical expertise during this free consultation.
Besides the surprising increase in level experience, he noticed new changes in his diagnostic skills.
A cardiac surgery diagnostic skill appeared next to thoracic surgery diagnosis.
This means he now possesses the capability for combined cardiac and thoracic diagnosis.
Back when surgery developed, cardiac and thoracic surgery initially belonged to the same academic field, later separated due to hospital development needs, further subdividing them into distinct departments.
The goal was to make doctors stronger and more specialized in specific fields.
In fact, after the split of cardiac and thoracic surgery, cardiac surgery soared and became a high-tech, cutting-edge department on par with neurosurgery.
Thoracic surgery, however, somewhat fell by the wayside.
Additionally, general surgery followed suit and also split.
The breast and thyroid surgery under general surgery made significant strides in the fields of breast tumors and thyroid tumors, overshadowing thoracic surgery.
In terms of status, cardiac surgery is far superior to thoracic surgery.
Experts in cardiac surgery enhance their worth exponentially, keeping extremely busy. Nowadays, heart and cardiovascular diseases are numerous. There’s no cheap fee involved in treatments.
The technical demands are also overwhelmingly high.
Looking at thoracic surgery experts, their situation seems rather bleak.
Their incomes can’t compare; their skills and papers are way behind.
There’s a common decision among clueless medical students hesitating between thoracic and cardiac surgery which can be easily made using the tip of the toe. Choosing cardiac surgery is the way to go.
If taught properly, status and income are guaranteed.
Li Jingsheng’s free consultation this time managed to elevate his cardiac surgery diagnosis to an entry level, making him quite thrilled.
Although this medical skill is currently unusable, it doesn’t diminish his sense of accomplishment and satisfaction from mastering it.
It’s akin to holding a valuable antique or jewel, even if stored in a box, it brings joy to the heart.
Because in times of need, it can be sold to resolve crises.
This high-tech medical skill is similar.
Mastering it, even if left at the entry level, could instantly transform him into a cardiac diagnostic expert when needed.
Old classmate Zhang Chao may have a PhD, joined People’s Hospital in cardiac surgery, achieved great success, basked in glory, right?
Now with Li Jingsheng’s cardiac diagnosis, he can easily outshine his old classmate.
After all, he has mastered more than just cardiac and thoracic surgery skills; he also possesses several surgical skills, each at a considerable level. Currently, they are still improving rapidly.
Just by blending in the operating room at Second Hospital for a couple of years, he can definitely stand out and become a young talent in the surgical field.
Moreover, he has a significant advantage.
His cardiovascular medicine diagnostic skills are equally strong; cross-referencing these external and internal specialties isn’t simply a matter of one plus one equals two.
It multiplies exponentially.
This free clinic not only reaped him 101 life points.
This is because that woman was poor at expressing herself, never thanked Li Jingsheng from start to finish.
Had she given a good review, Li Jingsheng could have earned another 10 life points.
He’s not blaming her.
Some people are naturally inexpressive, preferring to keep their feelings within.
A human heart is made of flesh, after all, she may not appreciate Li Jingsheng now, but once she calms down, she will consider it in her heart.
He now holds 425 life points, with doctor level experience reaching junior attending physician level 1774/2000, only 226 points away from advancing to the next level.
He is eager to ascend to senior attending physician as soon as possible.
As his medical expertise continues to progress, gradually nearing top-tier levels of minor achievement.
Take the Bone Touching Skill used most frequently, which has now reached minor achievement 901/1000.
Under normal circumstances, it’s poised to ascend to the next level soon.
Additionally, his diagnostic skills are starting to feel somewhat insufficient, with a pressing desire for his medicinal proficiency to advance another level. As his reputation and status increase, both at the clinic and Second Hospital, the tricky cases he encounters are steadily growing in number.
This requires stronger diagnostic skills and medicinal proficiency to tackle.
Especially at the clinic, he is the sole linchpin, leaving no room for error.
Each time he sees patients, it’s like treading on thin ice.
If his diagnostic and medicinal proficiency were higher, the chance of misdiagnosis or mistreatment would be much lower.
Nowadays, as long as he’s consulting, he meets two or three, even up to four or five patients daily, whose conditions are beyond his handling.
