Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 156 - 119: A Big Case Arrives—The Evil Mother-in-law and the Pitiful Daughter-in-law

"Hmm, let's try what you suggested. I'll go and get a genuine Sunshine Clinic seal carved later. Do you think we should include the clinic's contact number on it?"

Li Jingsheng agreed with this novel idea.

As long as it benefited the clinic's development and was within his capability, he would support it.

"I don't think we should include the phone number; otherwise, it would be an obvious advertisement, and the seal's authority and sanctity would be greatly diminished, which would defeat the purpose." Tang Ping thought for a moment and said.

Li Jingsheng listened and felt she made a valid point.

The authority and sanctity represented by the seal would be negatively affected if a phone number were added.

"Sister Tang, I really didn't expect it! Yesterday, you were being modest, saying that strategy is a man's strength. I see that you clearly hold your own among men." Li Jingsheng felt that brainstorming was much better than pondering problems alone.

In the future, if there's anything, it's better to consult the two 'generals' under his command more often.

"Hehe, I don't want to be a tomboy! What I want most is to be a little woman who is cherished and loved."

Tang Ping was pleased with the compliment and for once, shared some personal aspirations.

As they were talking, a customer came in.

They were two elderly ladies, and seeing the green eco-friendly bags printed with Huangshan Health Care Hall in their hands, Li Jingsheng was secretly amused. Xiaogao's clients had arrived.

Sure enough, Xiaogao immediately put on his signature goofy smile and went forward to greet the two elderly ladies.

Addressing them as "auntie," he made the two sixty-something ladies beam with smiles.

Gradually, more customers entered the clinic, and Li Jingsheng and Tang Ping got busy.

Around Xiaogao's counter, there were soon six or seven elderly people gathered.

Li Jingsheng even seriously suspected that Xiaogao might have once sold remedies on the street, because being able to easily attract a group of elderly ladies and gentlemen, and keep them engaged while introducing products, was a skill possessed by street remedy sellers and elite network marketers.

Tang Ping, however, handled young customers with ease.

Whether they were female customers under forty or male customers, she achieved a relatively high closing rate.

However, as she was originally trained in nursing, sales was just a skill honed out of necessity, so it wasn't particularly outstanding.

At most, her good looks, pleasant voice, and attractive figure made many male customers enjoy being served by her.

At this moment, a woman in her fifties walked into the clinic holding a baby.

Following behind was a young woman in her mid-twenties.

She was holding a baby bottle.

The three of them were obviously together.

Li Jingsheng noticed that the baby looked sallow and thin, not at all possessing the ruddy, fair skin typical of a healthy baby.

His heart sank slightly.

Small clinics had mixed feelings about child patients.

Children often had minor illnesses, strong recovery abilities, and once inside, unscrupulous doctors could easily make money by administering drips and injections.

There was fear, though, of dealing with babies under two years old.

Their bodies were so delicate that whether examining them or treating them, doctors were on tenterhooks.

They were afraid something might go wrong.

"Excuse me, who is Dr. Li?"

The middle-aged woman holding the child raised her head to ask.

"That's me, that's me! Is there anything I can help you with?"

Li Jingsheng stood up to greet them.

"We live nearby, and we heard about your medical skills here, so we came to see you specifically. This is my grandson, who is now seven months old. For the past month or so, he constantly has a fever, diarrhea, and it seems that his legs are a bit swollen. We've been to the nearby hospital and the children's hospital, but there's no improvement, and the illness keeps recurring. Please kindly take a look for us."

The middle-aged woman sat beside the consultation desk with the child, while the young mother stood silently behind her.

Seeing that Li Jingsheng was so young, they felt a little doubtful inside.

However, when seeking medical help, often when you hear someone say that a certain place has excellent medical skills, after experiencing ineffectiveness at multiple hospitals, you're bound to want to give it a try.

The saying "a desperate patient will go to any doctor" comes from this.

Hearing this, Li Jingsheng's heart skipped a beat — this was a big case.

After several major hospitals failed to treat it, they came to seek help at his small clinic.

The child's grandmother indeed held him in high regard.

Since they came, he wouldn't casually turn them away.

At the very least, he could first understand the condition.

Calming himself, he began the consultation.

"What diagnosis did the big hospital give for the child?"

From the three symptoms described by the grandmother, the biggest concern was a major illness.

Typically, babies from birth to eight months have incredibly strong immune systems.

This means that as long as the baby is breastfed, within the first eight months, colds and fevers almost don't require medication, and they usually recover in one or two days. This is because breast milk naturally contains antibodies.

Moreover, from birth, each cold a baby experiences is like a workout for their immune system, making it stronger and stronger.

By the time they are over a year old, their immune system will develop quite comprehensively.

They will have initial abilities to adapt to a world filled with bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

"Initially, it was suspected to be a cold. Later, the children's hospital said it was enteritis, while the People's Hospital didn't give a diagnosis, only suggesting a possible immune deficiency and advising hospitalization for observation and treatment."
