Doctor Xu walked away immediately after finishing his words.
Li Jingsheng looked at the numerous patients still waiting in line outside, feeling somewhat sympathetic.
But he also understood that doctors are human, not machines.
Only by eating well and resting can they save more patients.
"Doctor, doctor, please help treat my son! We came in after 9 a.m. and have been waiting all morning. My son's issue is minor, it's just a dislocated elbow joint."
A young mother carrying a three- or four-year-old boy walked into the clinic, pleading with Li Jingsheng to work overtime.
Li Jingsheng took the X-ray taken by the patient and took a look.
The issue was minor, just a partial dislocation of the radial head.
The radial head in young children is not fully developed, and the annular ligament in the elbow is loose, so sometimes an injury or excessive pulling by the parents can cause dislocation of the radial head of the elbow.
