Sent to the countryside, I turned the health center into a top-tier hospital.
Chapter 289 Dislocation
The next morning, after having breakfast, Chen Ping went straight to the clinic.
At this time, several patients were already lined up outside the clinic. It must have been because the health center hadn't opened yet, but they had come to queue up.
Almost every day, this is the scene outside Chen Ping's clinic; people are already lining up before the clinic even opens for business.
"Wang Tao, call out the numbers..."
Chen Ping changed into his white coat, tidied up the things on the consultation table, and called out to Wang Tao at the door.
"Understood, Master..."
After Wang Tao finished speaking, he let the first elderly woman in line enter the consultation room.
The old lady was carrying a small stool, so she must have been waiting at the clinic door for a long time.
"Dr. Chen, I feel like my blood pressure is a little high, could you take it for me..."
The old lady sat in front of Chen Ping and said.
Chen Ping was taken aback and looked at the old woman. "Auntie, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
"I don't feel unwell, but I felt my blood pressure was high, so I came to have it checked after my walk..."
The old lady said.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping was speechless. Why did he have to queue up just to have his blood pressure checked?
The nurses and other doctors all take blood pressure readings.
"Ma'am, if you just want your blood pressure checked, we have nurses here. Just tell them and they'll take it for you."
"Moreover, we have other doctors at our health center, such as Dr. Liu and Dr. Wang, who can also take measurements, so you don't need to come here early to queue up."
As Chen Ping spoke, he took out a blood pressure monitor, preparing to measure the old lady's blood pressure.
"That won't do. In the entire Siping Township, everyone knows that Dr. Chen has the best medical skills, and he's the most accurate at taking blood pressure."
The old lady said this while rolling up her sleeves.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping was both amused and exasperated. His reputation had spread, but it was truly exhausting.
Especially the older folks in the village, they don't know much about medicine, they just know who has good medical skills, so they go to them.
But if you always do this kind of blood pressure measurement yourself, you'll probably be exhausted every day and won't be able to see many real patients.
Just as Chen Ping was taking the old lady's blood pressure, a child's crying suddenly came from the yard.
The cries were shrill and urgent, coming closer and closer, heart-wrenching; you could tell from them that the person was in great pain.
Chen Ping glanced towards the door of the consultation room.
A young couple rushed to the clinic door carrying a five or six-year-old boy. The woman was sweating profusely, and the child was crying so hard in her arms that his voice was hoarse.
Her right arm hung limply at her sides; she dared not move it or lift it, and the slightest touch made her cry even harder.
The man followed beside him, his face showing both anxiety and frustration, his lips even showing marks from biting them.
Several patients were already lined up outside the clinic, and the young couple were so anxious that they bowed and apologized to each of them.
"Grandpa, Grandma, my child is in so much pain, could you please let us see him first? Please!"
The man clasped his hands together and pleaded with the other patients to let them cut in line.
"Okay, you guys go in quickly, look how much the child is crying."
When the people in line saw the child crying so hard, they all made way for him.
The woman rushed to Chen Ping, her voice trembling, carrying her child: "Dr. Chen, please take a look at my son! This morning, his father was playing with him, grabbed his arm and spun him around twice, and then the child started crying and couldn't move his arm..."
"Wang Tao, take the old lady's blood pressure..." Chen Ping said to Wang Tao.
Wang Tao quickly took the blood pressure monitor from Chen Ping and helped the old lady to the side to have her blood pressure checked.
Chen Ping took a closer look at the child, who was crying so hard he could barely breathe, and his eyes were swollen.
"Don't rush, tell me slowly, what happened?" Chen Ping said, glancing at the man.
At this time, women are often prone to anxiety and cannot explain many things clearly, which is why Chen Ping asked the male head of the household to speak.
"Why……"
The man sighed, then slapped himself twice hard, the sound crisp and loud, leaving red marks on his face immediately. "It's all my fault. I was playing around with the child and didn't know my own strength. I just grabbed his arm and spun him around a couple of times, who knew... I deserve to die..."
"He just grabbed my arm and spun me around twice. Was there any other bump or bruise?" Chen Ping asked.
"No, she started crying after we finished turning around. At first, I thought she was just scared, but the more she cried, the more something seemed wrong. She couldn't even move her right arm."
The man shook his head and said.
Chen Ping didn't say much, but he already had a general idea in his mind.
"Put the child on the examination bed..." Chen Ping said to the woman.
The woman placed the child on the examination bed and stood by, her eyes red and swollen.
"Okay, you step back for a moment, let your husband stand here and watch the child."
Chen Ping told the woman to step back and let the man stand beside the examination bed.
If a woman gets too close at this time, and the child cries loudly while Chen Ping is treating him, and the woman feels sorry for him and suddenly tries to snatch the child away, it could cause a lot of trouble.
This is based on experience gained from numerous clinical trials; often, parents are not allowed to be present when treating children.
Because parents are most prone to impulsiveness and have the most difficult emotions to control at this time.
The most frequent doctor-patient conflicts arise from the need to seek medical treatment for children.
Chen Ping bent down and gently pressed the child's right shoulder, then supported his forearm and slowly moved it around.
The child started crying as soon as he felt pain, but Chen Ping's movements were very steady. He ran his fingers around the joints and knew what was going on.
"Don't worry, it's not a big problem. It's just a dislocated elbow. Children's joint ligaments are loose, and it's easy for them to dislocate when they're pulled or shaken. It will be fine once it's set."
As he spoke, he supported the child's elbow with one hand and grasped the child's forearm with the other, gently pulling it outward, then twisting his wrist and pushing it upward, the movements were light and quick.
With a soft click, the child suddenly let out a howl, then the crying subsided and slowly turned into muffled sobs.
Chen Ping let go of the child's hand, took out two fruit candies from the drawer of the consultation table, unwrapped one, and handed it to the child: "Here, Uncle will give you some candy."
The child blinked his teary eyes, hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his right arm, which he had been too afraid to move, and clenched the candy in his little hand.
Upon seeing this, the woman burst into tears, her lips trembling as she was unable to speak.
The man beside him let out a long sigh, his eyes reddening.
Chen Ping checked the child's joint movement again, confirmed that it was in place, and looked up at the man, saying, "The child is still young and his joints are not fully developed. You should be careful when playing with the child in the future, and don't pull his arms or swing them around violently."
"This time it was a dislocation, and it'll be fine once it's set. But if it damaged a nerve or bone, that would be a real problem."
The man nodded repeatedly, his face full of guilt and lingering fear. "I'll remember, I'll never do that again, Dr. Chen, thank you so much."
